Minimum Advertised Price Policy

 

Introduction

Trailtopia is a team of family, friends and fellow adventurers dedicated to providing outstanding, nutritious and convenient camp cuisine for your outdoor adventures. We are inspired by the great outdoors. We are fueled by our passion for exploration and innovation. We carefully source the finest ingredients and prepare our products with the highest level of quality. We are passionate about our products and the outdoors and delivering a great customer experience. We recognize that our success is tied to our network of dealers that deliver great customer experiences. Therefore we want to protect their ability to do so, while at the same time discouraging price-based advertising that would be detrimental to our dealer's service and support efforts. As a result, Trailtopia has unilaterally established this Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) Policy.

Policy Statement

Trailtopia, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to discontinue doing business with any reseller that advertises any Trailtopia product(s) covered by this MAP policy at a price lower that the MAP.

General Guidelines

  1. All Trailtopia products are covered by this policy. Trailtopia may in its sole discretion modify the products covered by this policy.

  2. Trailtopia recognizes that dealers are free to make their own decisions to advertise and sell any Trailtopia product at any price they choose, without consulting or advising Trailtopia. Similarly, Trailtopia will exercise its right to make its own decisions regarding where Trailtopia products are sold and any supplemental marketing materials, point-of-purchase displays, product allocation, new product availability, or future promotional, joint marketing, or sponsorship programs.

  3. The MAP policy applies to advertised prices, not the price at which MAP products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual in-store or over the telephone.

  4. Trailtopia believes in maintaining a well regulated and fair marketplace for all its authorized resellers.

Advertising Guidelines

  1. The MAP policy applies to all advertisements of MAP products in any and all media, including but not limited to flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, television, radio, and public signage, as well as internet sites, social media sites, apps, or any other electronic media.

  2. The MAP policy does not apply to solely on-premise or in-store advertising that is not distributed to customers

  3. Website features such as “click for price," automated “bounce-back” pricing e-mails, pre-formatted e-mail responses, forms, automatic price display for any items prior to being placed in a customer’s shopping cart and other similar features are considered to be communications initiated by the dealer (rather than by the customer) and thereby constitute “advertising” under this MAP policy.

  4. It shall not be a violation of this MAP policy to advertise that a customer may “call for price” or “email for price," or to use similar language, specifically with respect to Trailtopia products, so long as no price is listed.

  5. This MAP policy also applies to any activity which Trailtopia determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent the intent of this MAP policy, such as solicitations for "group purchases" and the like.

  6. It shall not be a violation of this MAP policy to advertise in general that the reseller has “the lowest prices” or will match or beat its competitors’ prices, or to use similar phrases; so long as the reseller does not include any advertised price below MAP and otherwise complies with this MAP policy.

  7. From time to time, Trailtopia may permit resellers to advertise MAP products at prices lower than the MAP retail price. In such events, GoPro reserves the right to modify or suspend the MAP retail price with respect to the affected products for a specified period of time by providing advance notice to all resellers of such changes.

  8. From time to time, Trailtopia may offer a direct manufacturer’s rebate to customers. In such events, it shall not be a violation of this MAP policy to advertise the availability of the manufacturer's rebate, provided that:

    • i. the advertisement includes a MAP-compliant price, the rebate amount, and the net price after manufacturer's rebate in the same type size and style;

    • ii. an asterisk is placed next to the net price after manufacturer's rebate; and

    • iii. “after manufacturer's rebate” appears in the same area of the advertisement as the advertised product.

Policy Enforcement

  1. If a dealer with multiple store locations violates this MAP policy at any one store location, or on any associated website, then Trailtopia will consider this to be a violation by the dealer.

  2. Trailtopia reserves the right to cancel any pending orders, restrict future orders, or suspend dealers' account if Trailtopia reasonably believes:

    • i. a dealer has violated the provisions of this policy; or

    • ii. a dealer intends to violate this policy.

  3. Trailtopia’s is solely responsible for determining whether a violation of the MAP policy has occurred, as well as determining appropriate sanctions.

  4. Waivers to this MAP policy may be granted in Trailtopia’s sole discretion by the MAP policy Administrator in writing. Trailtopia Sales, Marketing, or third party sales representatives are not authorized to modify or grant exceptions to the MAP Policy. In the event that the MAP policy Administrator authorizes a waiver to the MAP policy, dealers must strictly adhere to the terms of the waiver letter. Deviation from the terms of a waiver letter is a violation of the MAP policy.

  5. Trailtopia reviews the advertised prices of dealers, either directly or via the use of third-party agencies or tools. Dealers are expected to provide reasonable cooperation in any Trailtopia investigations regarding possible MAP policy violations. Hindering, obstructing, delaying, or otherwise failing to cooperate with a Trailtopia MAP policy investigation is a violation of this MAP policy.

  6. The MAP policy will be enforced by Trailtopia in its sole discretion and without notice. Dealers, distributors, and resellers have no right to enforce the MAP policy. Violations of this policy may result in any of the aforementioned sanctions up to and including termination of our business relationship, as well as any available remedies at law.
