ADVERTISING OF PRODUCTS
- General Advertising Guidelines
Cell Phone Seat recognizes that dealers are free to make their own decisions to advertise and sell any Cell Phone Seat products at any price they choose, without consulting or advising Cell Phone Seat products. Similarly, Cell Phone Seat will exercise its right to make its own decisions regarding the Cell Phone Seat Authorized Reseller Program, supplemental marketing materials, point-of-purchase displays, product allocation, new product availability, or future promotional, joint marketing, or sponsorship programs. 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.
Cell Phone Seat believes in maintaining a well-regulated and fair marketplace for all its authorized resellers.
2) Internet Policy
The Reseller can only advertise, promote, or sell Cell Phone Seat products on its own branded website, owned by the Reseller, and the Reseller performs its own warehousing and fulfillment functions.

3) MAP Pricing
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. The MAP policy does not apply to on-premises or in-store advertising that is not distributed to customers. 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. No free products, no buy one, get one (BOGO), no buy one get one at 50%, or similar discounting, bundles or gift cards will be allowed as these would break MAP. 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 Cell Phone Seat products, so long as no price is listed. This MAP policy also applies to any activity which Cell Phone Seat 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. 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.
