MAP Policy and Guidelines
Updated March 23rd, 2024
Our MAP or Minimum Advertised Price policy is our pricing agreement
with our Dealers to NOT advertise the price of a specific product below
a predetermined price. MAP pricing is a mutually beneficial agreement
to price products at or above a set price. The key word is advertised,
retailers can sell products below MAP, they just cannot advertise those
prices.
As of March 26th 2024 MSRP for the SoftStartHome Product is
$399 and MAP is $369 for individual unit sales.
The end price to the customer must not be advertised below
$369 but the list price must reflect $399.
#1. Warning
First violations of MAP will typically be followed by a warning. We
will ask questions as to why MAP was violated. The reasons could shed
light on issues with existing pricing policies or concerns.
#2. Place a Hold on Shipping
Future MAP violations can result in more severe punishment. A temporary
hold on shipping key products after the violation is found may be put
into effect. This restriction on supply, will clearly state the
seriousness of a MAP violation.
#3. Reduce Our Product Assortment
Any additional MAP violations from the same retailer will require more
drastic action. Instead of a temporary hold on shipping, we may seek to
permanently reduce our product assortment with that seller.
#4. Convert Unauthorized Sellers
If we identify a MAP violation attributed to a seller we don’t
recognize, we will first uncover the seller’s information and contact
them. Find out who they are, why they are selling our product—better
yet, where they got it from—and notify them of our MAP policy.
#5. Revoke Authorized Seller Status
Finally, any chronic violators will be dealt with by ending our
partnership altogether. This is an option for repeat offenders who have
not responded to earlier enforcement steps.
Approval For Listing SoftstartHome For Sale
On Amazon

permission, the MSRP & MAP Policy guidelines will apply.
