Fragrances of Ireland Ltd. and Fragrances of Ireland (USA) Inc.

Minimum Advertised Price Policy (revised April 2023)

Fragrances of Ireland Ltd. and Fragrances of Ireland (USA) Inc. (together “FOI”) have revised their Minimum Advertised Price Policy (“MAP Policy”), originally effective as of 22 March 2017, to protect the investment of their Resellers in display, promotion, testing /sampling and selling FOI’s products, to assist them in maintaining high quality service, and to protect FOI’s brands and their reputation.  This MAP Policy will apply without exception to all Resellers advertising and/or selling FOI’s products in the United States of America and Canada. This MAP Policy has been adopted for the benefit of all distributors and retailers, including catalogue and electronic commerce companies (collectively, “Resellers”), and will be uniformly enforced.

1. All FOI’s products are subject to this MAP Policy (“MAP Products”).  FOI’s Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) shall be not less than its Manufacturer’s Recommended Selling Price (“MRSP”), based on the FOI price list as of the effective date of this MAP Policy, and as updated by future FOI price lists.

2. Advertising a price (net of all discounts and deductions of whatever kind) lower than an FOI MAP for any FOI MAP Product in any advertising material is a violation of this MAP Policy. This MAP Policy applies to all advertisements of FOI MAP Products in any and all media, including without limitation, print media (including without limitation flyers, posters, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, and mail order catalogs), internet or other electronic media (including: websites; third-party reseller platforms including, but not limited to, Amazon.com and EBay; forums; e-mail newsletters; e-mail solicitations), television, radio and public signage.  

3. This MAP Policy applies to any activity that FOI determines, in their sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent this MAP Policy or its intent, such as solicitations for “group purchases.” Bundling of FOI products is permitted only if the bundling is an FOI authorized program or the advertised price for the bundled items equals or exceeds MAP.

4. This MAP policy applies only to advertised prices and does not apply to the price at which FOI products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual consumer within resellers’ retail location or over the telephone.  This MAP Policy also does not apply to in-store advertising that is displayed only in the store and not distributed to any customer(s). Resellers are free to sell FOI products at any prices they choose.

5. It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise in general that the Reseller has “the lowest prices” or will match or beat its competitors’ prices, or to use similar general phrases, so long as the Reseller does not include any advertised price for an FOI product below the MAP and otherwise complies with this MAP Policy.

6. Prices displayed on an internet site are considered advertised prices for purposes of this MAP Policy and must comply with this MAP Policy. Once a customer indicates an intent to purchase (e.g., adds an item to a virtual shopping cart or order), the Reseller may sell at any price. Statements such as “add to basket to see price”, “call for price” or phrases of similar import are acceptable so long as any advertised or listed price for an FOI product complies with this MAP Policy.

7. Internet auctions may not display or specify reserved bid or other prices below MAP.

8. No Reseller of FOI’s MAP Products may advertise any specific price that does not comply with this MAP Policy through search engine advertising, including but not limited to such advertising through Google, Bing, Yahoo and MSN.

9. For intentional or repeated failure by a Reseller to comply with this policy, FOI may unilaterally, in their sole discretion, impose sanctions. Sanctions may include indefinite termination of the violating Reseller’s wholesale account status, cancelling all existing orders from such Reseller and refusing to accept from or deliver to such a Reseller any new orders. Any action taken by FOI under this MAP Policy shall be without liability to FOI. FOI does not intend to do business with Resellers who advertise prices below MAP or who degrade the image of FOI and their products and brands. FOI is not required to provide prior notice or issue warnings before taking action under this MAP Policy. FOI reserves its right to make independent decisions about product allocation and Reseller participation.

10. FOI has adopted this policy unilaterally, and will not negotiate its MAP Policy or its

enforcement.  FOI sales personnel do not have authority to modify or grant exceptions to this policy.

FOI reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend or discontinue this MAP Policy.

By ordering from FOI you acknowledge that you understand this policy. Advertising any lower than the MAP prices above constitutes a breach of this policy and may result in FOI refusing to process your orders.
