There are certain advertising practices that undermine the reputation, brand, goodwill, and premium image of Sirius Pawz Opco LLC (“Pawz”) products with our target consumer retail population and discourage our sellers from investing in our products and providing the best possible service and support to customers. To protect the integrity of our brand, we are implementing this unilateral United States of America Minimum Advertised Price Policy (“Policy”), which applies to all authorized sellers (“Sellers”) of our products advertising to end user consumers in the United States. This Policy is effective 1/15/2023 and supersedes all of our prior policies or representations regarding minimum advertised prices or minimum resale prices for the Covered Products (as defined below) applicable to Sellers.
This Policy applies to advertisements of the Pawz products listed on the Pawz MAP Schedule (“Covered Products”), accessible at map policy.
The Pawz MAP Schedule will be made available to all sellers and may be amended by Pawz in its sole discretion at any time.
The “minimum advertised price” (“MAP”) is the lowest price at which the Covered Product may be advertised. We are solely responsible for (1) establishing the MAP for each Covered Product and (2) communicating the Policy to all Sellers (including via directing any distributors to pass down the Policy to their resellers). While Sellers remain free to advertise and sell all of our products (including the Covered Products) at any price, it is a violation of this Policy for a Seller to advertise any Covered Product at a price lower than the MAP.
For purposes of this Policy, the terms “advertising” and “advertisement” include all promotional or pricing information of Covered Products displayed in any type of media, including, but not limited to:
The terms “advertise” and “advertisement” do not include:
Signage displayed within a brick-and-mortar selling location;
Pricing information displayed only via access to a platform requiring a unique log in; or
Pricing information displayed at the Final Online Checkout Stage (which is when the Covered Product is put into a shopping cart that contains the customer’s name, shipping address, email address, and payment information of a transaction). Please note that pricing information in the “shopping cart” or the Final Online Checkout Stage must be obscured technically so that it is not retrievable by shopping and pricing engines and not displayed on search page results within the Seller’s own website.
Advertisements that violate this Policy include, but are not limited to:
It is not a violation to advertise the following, notwithstanding the prior prohibitions in Section 5:
This Policy is not an agreement between Sirius Pawz and any other entity. We do not seek and will not accept any promise of compliance with this Policy from any Seller or other party, and each Seller must independently choose whether to comply with this Policy. This Policy is not negotiable and will not be altered for any individual Seller.
We may announce MAP holidays or promotions that are applicable to all Sellers, during which periods a Seller that advertises a Covered Product in compliance with the terms of the MAP holiday will not be considered to have violated this Policy.
We will take the following actions against any Seller that does not comply with this Policy:
First Violation: For a seller’s first violation, Pawz will notify the seller in writing of such failure.
Second Violation: For a seller’s second violation, Pawz will notify the seller in writing of such failure and will immediately place the seller’s account on shipping hold for thirty (30) days. Pawz will revoke its acceptance of any pending orders, cancel any pending shipments to the seller, and not accept any new orders from the seller during this 30-day period.
Third Violation: For a seller’s third violation, Pawz will notify the seller in writing of such failure and will immediately place the seller’s account on shipping hold for ninety (90) days. Pawz will revoke its acceptance of any pending orders, cancel any pending shipments to the seller, and not accept any new orders from the seller during this 90-day period.
Fourth Violation: For a seller’s fourth violation, Pawz will notify the seller in writing of such failure and will terminate its business relationship with the seller and revoke the seller’s “authorized” status. Pawz will revoke its acceptance of any pending orders and cancel any pending shipments to the seller.
We will enforce this Policy in our sole discretion and without notice. Sellers have no right to enforce this Policy.
