SECTION 7 – MINIMUM ADVERTISING ADVERTISER PRICE POLICY

Pure Hemp Botanicals has determined that in order to better compete against existing competitors it must exercise a greater degree of control over the distribution of its products. Therefore, all sales of Pure Hemp Botanicals products will be subject to this Policy. This Policy has been unilaterally adopted and will be enforced strictly and uniformly.

Advertisements and offers to sell that do not include a particular price, but require further action that implies a price that is lower than the Minimum Advertised Price violate the MAP Policy. Examples of such unauthorized advertisements include “drop in cart” pricing, “add to cart” pricing, “click to see” pricing, and discount coupon pricing. Also prohibited are advertisements that indicate that discounts may be available when a customer takes specific action that goes beyond buying the product, such as “special price option” or “name your price.”

Advertisements and product listings on your site must be of equal or higher value (price) than what the current price of the congruent product is on Pure Hemp Botanicals.

To assure fair business practices, we will strictly enforce this policy. Violations of this MAP Policy will include termination of our business relationship with a customer. On the first offense there will be a written notice counseling any customer that disregards this policy. Any customer who violates the policy a second time, within one year of receiving a written notice of a first violation, will be terminated.

Pure Hemp Botanicals will not discuss any conditions of acceptance related to this Policy, as it is non-negotiable and will not be altered for any dealer. In addition, Pure Hemp Botanicals neither solicits, nor will it accept, any assurance of compliance with this Policy. Nothing in this Policy shall constitute an agreement between Pure Hemp Botanicals and any reseller that the reseller will comply with this Policy.
