Off the Page Games Ltd. Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy

  1. Introduction Off the Page Games Ltd. actively supports the advertising and promotion of its products by its domestic partners and sales representatives through materials provided by Off the Page Games Ltd. at no cost. We recognize that our success is tied to the success of our network of global Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners. 

 

We also know that many of our Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners invest significant time, training, and resources to deliver continuous vulnerability management services to businesses and other managed service providers that operate under existing Off the Page Games Ltd. Partnership agreements. We want to protect their ability to do so while  at the same time discouraging price-based advertising that would be detrimental to our Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners’ service and support efforts. As a result, Off the Page Games Ltd. has established a Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) Policy to preserve our  strong reputation for providing businesses with high-value security products and  post-sales support. 

 

We greatly appreciate the efforts of all Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners to distribute our products and support their end- customers at a best-in-class level of service, which in turn translates into a pricing policy at the industry level. Off the Page Games Ltd.  

 

  1. Policy Statement In its sole discretion, Off the Page Games Ltd. reserves the right to discontinue doing  business with any Off the Page Games Ltd. Partner that advertises any Off the Page Games Ltd. Product(s) covered by this MAP Policy at a price lower than the MAP. 

 

  1. General Guidelines 

3.1  The Off the Page Games Ltd. products covered by this Policy are listed in Section 5 (“MAP Products”). Off the Page Games Ltd. may, in its sole discretion, modify this list from time to time. 

 

3.2  Off the Page Games Ltd. recognizes that Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners are free to make their own decisions to advertise and sell any Off the Page Games Ltd. Product at any price they choose, without consulting or advising Off the Page Games Ltd.. Similarly, Off the Page Games Ltd. will exercise its right to make its own decisions regarding the Off the Page Games Ltd. Partner Program, supplemental marketing materials, new product availability, or future promotional, joint marketing, or sponsorship programs, as well as providing targeted training for the efficient implementation of Off the Page Games Ltd. products. Off the Page Games Ltd. does  not restrict in any way the specific sale price of their Partners. It is in the best  interest of the distribution channels to provide high-quality products and not to use advertised pricing below the costs of obtaining such products and services. 

 

3.3  The MAP Policy applies to advertised prices, not the price at which MAP products are sold or offered for sale to a business via direct sales (over the telephone, email,  or in other direct forms). 

 

3.4 Off the Page Games Ltd. believes in maintaining a transparent, well-principled, and fair marketplace for all Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners.

4.2 Website features such as “click for price,” automated “bounce-back” pricingemails, pre- formatted email responses, forms, automatic price display for any items prior  to being placed in an end-customer’s shopping cart, and other similar  features are considered to be communications initiated by the [YOUR BRAND  NAME] Partner (rather than by the end-customer) and thereby constitute  “advertising” under this MAP Policy.

4.5 It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise in general that the Off the Page Games Ltd. Partner has “the lowest prices” or will match or beat its  competitors’ prices, or to use similar phrases; so long as the [YOUR BRAND  NAME] Partner does not include any advertised price below MAP and otherwise  complies with this MAP Policy. 

 

4.6 From time to time, Off the Page Games Ltd. may permit [Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP retail price. In  such events, Off the Page Games Ltd. reserves the right to modify or suspend the  MAP retail price with respect to the affected products for a specified period of time  by providing advance notice to other Off the Page Games Ltd. Partners of  such changes.

5.2 Product(s) bundled with the MAP products must not, without conspicuous warning, be:
