Tiny Tents U.S. Minimum Advertised Price Policy (MAP Policy)
1. INTRODUCTION
Tiny Tents™ is committed to providing big joy by with little products. We understand that our success is tied to the success of our network of authorized resellers and dealers. We also understand that our success requires us to deliver products of excellent quality. It is the goal of this MAP policy to ensure that all dealers of Tiny Tents™ products are able to deliver a great customer experience and sell top-quality Tiny Tents™ goods by eliminating price-based advertising and competition. Maintaining adequate margins is critical for our retailers to be successful, and for us to continue making the best products possible without cutting corners.
2. POLICY STATEMENT
Tiny Tents™, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to discontinue doing business with any reseller that advertises any product(s) covered by this MAP Policy at a price lower than the allowable MAP. Tiny Tents™ may refuse to fill any purchase order, current or future, at its sole discretion.

2. Tiny Tents™ may, in its sole discretion, modify this list from time to time.
3.

7. From time to time, Tiny Tents™ may permit resellers to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP retail price. In such events, Tiny Tents™ 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 all resellers of such changes.
8. From time to time Tiny Tents™ may offer a direct manufacturer’s rebate to customers. In such events, it shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise the availability of the manufacturer's rebate, provided that:
