As a participant in the Program, you are authorized to market, advertise, sell and offer to sell the Products available through the Site to your retail and wholesale customers including, without limitation, (i) to consumers at retail through retail stores owned or operated by you and located in the Territory (as defined below) ("Participant Stores"), (ii) to consumers at retail located in the Territory through any e-commerce sites on the Internet of the Participant Stores ("Participant Websites"), (iii) to retailers or other businesses at wholesale, and/or (iv) directly to your corporate or institutional customers, all solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. If you wish to market, advertise, sell and offer to sell the Products through Internet/e-commerce channels other than a Participant Website, including, without limitation, any third party marketplace such as Amazon.com, Alibaba.com, Walmart.com or the marketplace of any Walmart affiliate or subsidiary such as Jet.com), eBay.com, or otherwise, you must first comply with the following requirements:
- You shall obtain our prior approval of (a) each e-commerce site that you propose to use to sell Products and (b) each brand and each product category within each such brand of the Products that you propose to sell on such e-commerce site. An approved e-commerce site is referred to herein as an "Approved Website" and the Products within the brand and product categories that have been so-approved is referred to herein as "Approved Products". In order to seek our approval therefor, you shall complete a Marketplace Approval Form to us, available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MAF2016. Once approved, we may withdraw our approval of any such Approved Website and/or any Approved Products at any time for any reason or no reason. If we withdraw our approval of any Approved Products in accordance with the foregoing, you shall cease offering such Approved Products for sale through such Approved Website immediately and if we withdraw our approval of any Approved Website, you shall cease utilizing such Approved Website in any manner in connection with the Products immediately. All such approvals will be made on a case-by-case basis and no approval of the sale of any Approved Products on a given Approved Website shall be deemed to require us thereafter to approve sales of other Products on the Approved Website or the sale of such Approved Products on an additional Approved Website. You acknowledge and agree that, in some cases, third parties have been granted the exclusive right to sell certain Products through certain channels and the sale by you of Products through e-commerce sites without our prior approval may violate our agreements with third parties.
- You shall not ship any Products purchased through any Approved Website to addresses outside the Territory without our prior approval.
- You shall not approach or solicit customers outside the Territory to encourage or induce such customers to purchase the Products through an Approved Website, including through any of the following actions:
- direct mail, including the sending of unsolicited e-mails;
- advertising in media or on the Internet or other promotions, where such advertising or promotion is specifically targeted at customers outside the Territory;
- online advertisements addressed to customers outside the Territory and other efforts to be found specifically by customers outside the Territory, including the use of territory-based banners on third-party websites and paying a search engine or online advertisement provider to have advertisements or higher search rankings displayed to customers outside the Territory; and/or
- advertising or promotion in any form that you would not reasonably carry out but for the likelihood that it will reach customers outside the Territory.
- You must use the correct Universal Product Code ("UPC") assigned to each Approved Product in any listing on any Approved Website.
- You must use the title, description, bullet points, and image provided for the Product in the Sales Materials (defined below) for each Approved Product listed on an Approved Website.
- You may not repackage or reconfigure the packaging of any Approved Product prior to listing it for sale on an Approved Website, and the title, description, bullet points, and image of the Product contained in the listing on the Approved Website must be the same in all respects as the Approved Product including, without limitation, the size, color, and quantity contents of such package.
- To the extent that we approve your sale of Approved Products on Amazon.com as an Approved Website, the following additional requirements will apply:
- If there is an existing Product Detail Page for the UPC assigned to a given Approved Product, the Approved Product you propose to sell matches the existing Product Detail Page in all respects, including the package configuration and contents (including size, style, and color), and the title, description, bullet points and image of the Product Detail Page are accurate, then you must use the existing Product Detail Page to list the Approved Product for sale without modification or alteration of any kind.
- If the Approved Product you propose to sell does not match an existing Product Detail Page in all respects, then you must create a new Product Detail Page for sale of the Approved Products in accordance with the requirements of these Sales Terms.
You may not sell Products other than directly to corporate or institutional customers or through the Participant Stores, Participant Websites, and the Approved Websites, if any, unless specifically authorized by us in accordance with the "Consents and Approvals" Section of these Sales Terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the brand and product category of any products to be sold to retailers or wholesalers for resale shall be subject to our prior consent. In addition, you may only sell or offer to sell the Products that you currently have in inventory or that have been ordered from us and which Order has been accepted by us as available for delivery to you.
