This Minimum Advertised Pricing Policy (“MAP Policy”) will become effective January 1, 2016 and will apply to distributors and retailers, including catalogs and internet retailers (collectively, “Resellers”), who resell Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel products to end users located in the United States.

Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel greatly values the efforts of all Resellers to distribute Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel products and support our customers. This MAP Policy is adopted for the benefit of all Resellers and will be uniformly enforced.

THIS MAP POLICY SHALL WORK UNDER THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:


1. Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel will, from time to time, publish a Schedule of Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (“MSRP Schedule”) on its internet website, which may be amended or adjusted by Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel at any time in its sole discretion. The MSRP Schedule will identify the effective date, the products and the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) for those products. Each advertisement of a product identified in the MSRP Schedule below the MSRP will be a violation of this MAP Policy. Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel products not specifically identified in the MSRP Schedule are not subject to this MAP Policy. 
The current MSRP Schedule can be downloaded here.

2. This MAP Policy applies to all advertisements of Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel products listed on the MSRP Schedule in any and all media, including, but not limited to, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, mail order catalogs, e-mail newsletters, e-mail solicitations, internet or similar electronic media, television, radio, and public signage. This MAP Policy is not applicable to any in-store advertising that is displayed only in the store and not distributed to any customer(s).

3. The inclusion in advertising of free or discounted products (whether made by Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel or another dealer) with a product covered by this MAP Policy is prohibited. All packages (i.e., those that include a combination sale of both products covered in the MSRP Schedule and products not covered under this Policy) must be advertised at the cumulative MSRP of all the products included in the package.

4. If pricing is displayed, any strike-through or other alteration of the MSRP that is paired with a discount price below the MSRP is prohibited.

5. This MAP Policy applies only to advertised prices and does not apply to the price at which Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual consumer within Resellers’ retail location or over the telephone. Resellers remain free to sell these products at any prices they choose under these circumstances.

6. This MAP Policy does not establish maximum advertised prices. All Resellers may offer Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel products at any price in excess of the MSRP.

7. Internet auctions may not display or have reserved bid or other acceptable prices below the MSRP. Best Offer auctions are not allowed.

8. Pricing listed on an Internet site is considered an “advertised price” and must adhere to this MAP Policy. A “click for price” button on a website that displays a price lower than the applicable MSRP is a violation of this policy. However, once the pricing is associated with the end customer’s intent to purchase, the price becomes the selling price and is not bound by this MAP Policy. Pricing is deemed to be associated with the intent to purchase when the product is placed in the customer’s “virtual shopping cart” and the customer has elected to “proceed to checkout.” Statements such as “add to basket to see price”, “we will match any price”, “call for price” or phrases of similar import are acceptable as long as the price advertised or listed for the products is not below the MSRP. In addition, discounts applied at checkout to the entire order based on a customer’s purchasing history with the Reseller, such as discounts for “frequent shoppers”, do not violate this MAP Policy.

9. The advertisement for sale by any Reseller of any product covered by this MAP Policy on any third party website identified by Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel as being in violation of this MAP Policy is prohibited as of 30 days after the offending website is identified by Lethal Threat Apparel and Products, Lethal Angel Apparel and Products, Highway Outlaw Apparel, Vintage Velocity Apparel and Skull Camo Apparel. A third party website is any website not owned and controlled by the Reseller.
