Internet Sales Policy
QEP has built a strong reputation for high-quality products and brands over the past 40 years. To protect end users, retail/distribution partners, and the integrity, reputation & intellectual property value of QEP brands, we have implemented an Internet Sales Policy comprised of two related policies:
- Authorized & Preferred eSeller Policy
- Internet Minimum Advertised Pricing (iMAP) Policy
Authorized & Preferred eSeller Policy
This policy outlines the qualifications necessary to sell, on the internet, the products of any QEP brand. It will ensure that end users receive authentic, high-quality QEP products that are covered by QEP warranties, as well as accurate product information and product support from qualified sales channel partners.
Internet Minimum Advertised Pricing (iMAP) Policy
When products are advertised at prices that undermine legitimate retail competition, problems ensue. QEP will support our Authorized eSellers by ensuring fair profit margins which incentivize investments in customer education, training and service.
