Guidelines:

Under this MAP Policy, “advertising” includes, without limitation, the following:

  • Printed advertisements published in newspapers, magazines, inserts, catalogs or flyers
  • Outdoor signs and billboards

  • Pop-up windows soliciting consumers to “click to see the price”

Advertisements that violate this MAP Policy include, without limitation, the following:

  • Advertised discounts that add up to the MAP price when shipping costs are included

(This does not include separate “free shipping” offers as defined below.)

This MAP Policy does not prohibit, and does not classify any of the following as forms of advertising:

Kool Lagoon reserves the right to modify this list at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. A current list of MAP products will be provided on the Kool Lagoon website at https://koollagoon.com/reseller-minimum-advertised-price-policy/.

Kool Lagoon reserves the right to modify, temporarily suspend or discontinue this MAP Policy, in whole or in part, or designate periods during which the terms of the policy change or during which the policy is not applicable. Kool Lagoon will provide notice of any such changes on the designated Kool Lagoon website.

If Kool Lagoon products are bundled or sold as part of a package that includes other products, it shall be a violation of this MAP Policy to sell or advertise the bundle at a price less than the combined MAP prices for each MAP product, or at a price that has the effect of violating the letter or spirit of this MAP Policy.
