9. Marantec has adopted the following Minimum Advertised Price Policy (“MAP Policy”) for all Marantec products, except as designated by Marantec from time to time in writing or as posted on a website (“Covered Products”). Marantec’s goal in establishing this policy is to avoid degradation of, or damage to, the premium quality and image of its Covered Products and to the trademarks, other marks, brands, or trade names under which its Covered Products are sold. Marantec intends to sell these Covered Products only to Distributors/Resellers that do not advertise Covered Products below the Minimum Advertised Price set forth in this policy. Marantec may choose to enforce this policy through action up to and including termination of a Distributor/Reseller or another authorized distributor that advertises any Covered Product below the stated Minimum Advertised Price as set forth below. This MAP Policy will be applied and enforced as follows:

  1. The minimum advertised price (“MAP”) for each Covered Product shall be the price designated as the MAP on the current Marantec price list as issued by Marantec from time to time, or, if no MAP is listed for any Covered Product, the MAP will be the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) for that Covered Product minus 15% of that MSRP. Current price lists may be obtained by contacting a Marantec sales representative. The MAP for one or more products may be amended from time to time and may be suspended periodically for national, regional, and/or seasonal promotions sponsored by Marantec. Changes to the MAPs will be posted on the Marantec website designated by Marantec and will supersede the MAPs on the price lists. It is the responsibility of distributors of Marantec Covered Products to monitor the designated Marantec website for updates.

  2. This MAP Policy applies to any and all forms of print and electronic media, direct mail, and audio and video communications.

  3. Marantec considers any price advertised below the MAP a violation of its MAP Policy. For example, if a product with an MSRP of $34.99 is advertised at or below $29.74, this is a violation of the MAP Policy.

  4. The MAP Policy only applies to advertised prices of Covered Products, and not the prices at which Covered Products are actually sold. The dealer is free to resell Covered Products at any price of its choice.

  5. Marantec reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel the MAP Policy, or modify any or all MAPs at any time. Marantec will provide notice of any such modifications, suspensions, or cancellations on the designated Marantec website. It is the responsibility of each member of Marantec’s distribution network to monitor the Marantec designated website for updates.

  6. If a dealer advertises prices below those required by this MAP Policy, Marantec shall take appropriate action to enforce this MAP Policy, including but not limited to one or more of the following actions: 

    1. Notify the dealer of the non-compliant advertisement with a reminder of Marantec’s MAP Policy on Covered Products.

    2. Suspend the dealer’s right to sell the Marantec Covered Product in question for a period of time (e.g., thirty (30), forty-five (45), or ninety (90) days) depending on the breadth and severity of the MAP Policy violation, commencing from the date of notice from Marantec;

    3. Suspend the dealer’s right to sell the entire Marantec series designation in question for a period of time (e.g., thirty (30), forty-five (45), or ninety (90) days) depending on the breadth and severity of the MAP Policy violation, commencing from the date of notice from Marantec;

    4. Suspend the dealer’s right to sell the entire Marantec product portfolio for a period of time (e.g., thirty (30), forty-five (45), or ninety (90) days) depending on the breadth and severity of the MAP Policy violation, commencing from the date of notice from Marantec;

    5. Suspend the dealer’s right to sell the entire Marantec product portfolio for a period of not less than one (1) year, commencing from the date of notice from Marantec; and/or

    6. Terminate the Distributor/Reseller Agreement or other relevant agreement between Marantec and the member of the distribution network who has violated this MAP Policy. 

  7. Marantec will make all decisions concerning compliance with and enforcement of this MAP Policy unilaterally. This MAP Policy is a unilateral declaration of policy by Marantec and does not reflect or constitute an agreement between Marantec and any Distributor/Reseller, any other authorized distributor, or any other person or entity, and by issuing this policy Marantec is not seeking any such agreement.
