Internet Sales Policy
Lusomé values the dedication of all Retailers who sell our products both in-store and online. To uphold our reputation for delivering high-quality products and maintaining competitiveness in the online marketplace, Lusomé requires adherence to this Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP) Policy for all internet sales across our brands.
This policy applies to any distributor or reseller operating in the United States and Canada.
Key Internet Sales Requirements
Compliance with Policies and Pricing:
Internet Sales Distributors must adhere to Lusomé’s current published prices, policies, product images, and brand standards, including the terms and conditions outlined on our websites. It is the internet retailer’s responsibility to remain informed of any updates to products and pricing.
Prohibited Activities: Drop shipping is strictly prohibited. Freight costs are the purchaser’s responsibility. Products may not be sold on Walmart.com/.ca, Amazon.com/.ca or any similar platforms. Compliance with MAP ensures consistency and equity across all sales channels.
License Agreement: Lusomé provides retailers with a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use approved trademarks, photos, descriptions, marketing materials, and other specified assets.
Consequences of Violation
Lusomé will issue a five-day notice to any Retailer found in violation of this MAP policy, requiring corrective action. Retailers who fail to address the violation within this timeframe will be prohibited from purchasing Lusomé products. Continued non-compliance may result in the termination of dealership or distributorship agreements.
Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP)
Pricing Standards: Lusomé products must be advertised at no less than 80% of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).
Limited Discounts: Discounts of up to 50% off the MSRP may be applied for a maximum of 30 days to liquidate discontinued, overstock, customer-returned, or damaged items. No more than five (5) Lusomé product styles may be discounted simultaneously for this purpose.
Scope of Policy: This policy governs the advertisement of Lusomé products across all media, including but not limited to flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, email campaigns, online platforms (including social media), and public signage.
In-Store Pricing Flexibility: This policy pertains solely to advertised prices and does not restrict the price at which Lusomé products are sold directly to consumers within a retailer’s physical location. Retailers are free to set their own prices for in-store transactions. Similarly, this policy does not apply to in-store promotional materials that are not distributed to customers or made available online.
