Effective January 1, 2015, a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) on all K9 Sport Sack products will be in effect. International accounts must reflect pricing as translated into their local currency.

K9 Sport Sack LLC has been building a brand of strong recognition and high perceived value since 2013. By not adhering to the established Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) a reseller can have a dramatic effect of diminishing or detracting from the perceived value of the K9 Sport Sack brand and products. The internet, with its worldwide impact, has the potential to cause great harm to any companies’ products if they are advertised at prices that will eliminate any legitimate retail competition. Our MAP pricing policy is intended to create a fair retail price for all of our valued wholesale customers regardless of sales platform or store location. Therefore, K9 Sport Sack is requiring all current and future sales outlets of the K9 Sport Sack products to agree to and abide by the following requirements and restrictions.

1. The Minimum Advertised Price for any K9 Sport Sack (the current Minimum Advertised Price—MAP--as published on the K9 Sport Sack price sheet) or comparable international exchange rate. MAP pricing is established by K9 Sport Sack and may be adjusted by K9 Sport Sack at its sole discretion.

4. If pricing is displayed in other than a brick and mortar retail store, any strike-through or other alteration of the Minimum Advertised Price is prohibited.

6. K9 Sport Sack's MAP policy does not in any way limit the ability of any dealer to advertise that “they have the lowest prices” or, they “will meet or beat any competitors price”, that consumers should “call for a price” or phrases of similar import as long as the price advertised or listed for the products is not less than MAP.
