MAP Policies
As of January 1, 2015, a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) on all K9 Sport Sack products has been in effect. International accounts will work with approved K9 Sport Sack LLC distribution partners to reflect pricing in their local currency. When a distribution partner is not available, resale partners will work with K9 Sport Sack directly.
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.
The MAP policy works under the following guidelines:

- The MAP for all K9 Sport Sack products shall be no more than the MSRP provided in the K9 Sport Sack Price Sheet.
- The MAP policy applies to all advertisements of K9 Sport Sack products in any and all media, including, but not limited to, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, mail order catalogs, Internet or similar electronic media, television, radio, and public signage.
- 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.
- MAP does not establish maximum advertised prices. All dealers and sales representatives may offer K9 Sport Sack products at any price in excess of the MAP.
- 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.
- Intentional or repeated failure to abide by this policy will result in immediate termination of any sales opportunity with K9 Sport Sack. K9 Sport Sack strives to do business with dealers or sales representatives who enhance the image of K9 Sport Sack and its products. It is K9 Sport Sack’s sole discretion whether or not to provide prior notice or issue warnings before taking any action under this policy.
- Negotiated Contracts: From time to time it may be explicitly approved by K9 Sport Sack in writing to sell certain K9 Sport Sack products at below MAP pricing. A five day maximum promotion will be approved by K9 Sport Sack LLC.Any longer promotions will need to be approved by K9 Sport Sack LLC.
- K9 Sport Sack may institute a sale from time to time and in such cases the MAP will be the same as the sale price on those particular items and on those particular dates. K9 Sport Sack LLC will send out a notice in advance with details of the special.
MAP Agreement Confirmation
This MAP policy has been established by K9 Sport Sack and legal counsel to help ensure the legacy of K9 Sport Sack as a top producer of quality pet products and accessories and to protect the reputation of its name and products.

K9SS reserves the right to reject any orders, in whole or in part, for any reason. Any additional or different terms proposed by Retailer (including, without limitation, any terms contained in any document incorporated by reference into a purchase order) are rejected and will be deemed a material alteration hereof, unless expressly agreed to in writing by K9SS. Furthermore, K9SS will not be bound by any "disclaimers", “click wrap” or "click to approve" terms or conditions now or hereafter contained in any website used by Retailer in connection with the Products or any sale thereof.
