As the Sole Source Manufacturer of databot™, aRbotics LLC is focused on protecting and maintaining high margins for our reseller, distributor, and sales network. In recognition of the investment in time and resources required for our high-quality sales network to provide the level of customer service and product knowledge expected from our customers, aRbotics LLC is committed to enforcing policies which allow our resellers to maintain high profit margins through the sale of databot™ products. aRbotics LLC has an established Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy that an Authorized Reseller must follow for the advertising and marketing of databot™ products. All aRbotics LLC Authorized Resellers must agree to the terms and conditions of the following MAP Policy. 

aRbotics LLC’s MAP Policy Guidelines for databot™ Products 

MAP pricing for all databot™ products can be found on your current price list labelled SRP. All advertised prices must be at or above MAP for all databot™ products if a MAP price has been established by aRbotics LLC. Resellers are not required to list prices in advertising. If a price is listed in an advertisement it must be at or above MAP. Other statements such as “call for price” or “call for quote” are acceptable and permitted. 

Resellers are also responsible for ensuring their databot™ pricing is at or above MAP on internet search engines. Resellers are free to set the actual resale price of any product as long as it is at or above MAP price given the most recent publication of the price list. aRbotics LLC’s MAP policy for all databot™ products apply to advertising placements, including but not limited to: print ads (inserts, magazines, newspapers, catalogs, mail order catalogs, etc.), broadcast (radio and TV), direct mail, faxes, internet placement with third parties (banner ads, broadcast emails, destination pages, third-party sites), internet placements on resellers own website, and any flyers, posters or coupons. 

From time to time, databot™ may permit resellers to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP price. In such events, databot™ reserves the right to modify or suspend the MAP price with respect to the affected products for a specified period of time by providing advance notice to all resellers of such changes. 

Pricing Statements 

aRbotics LLC’s MAP Policy does allow resellers to omit pricing entirely from advertisements and/or advertisement statements such as “Call for Price” or “Call for Quote.” 

Free Offers Associated with aRbotics LLC Product 

Free shipping and/or handling, 0% sales tax, or free financing promotions do not violate the MAP. 

All databot™ Products Price Matching Policies 

Price matching policies are acceptable. Price matching cannot be used as a valid reason for violations of aRbotics LLC’s MAP Policy. Advertised price must always be at MAP or higher. 

Failure to Comply with the MAP Policy 

At the sole discretion of aRbotics LLC, failure to comply with MAP, intentional and/or repeated failure to abide, may result in the immediate loss of Authorized Reseller status and your ability to purchase all databot™ products both direct as well as through distribution. 

aRbotics LLC will utilize the following steps to resolve MAP violations: 

Any and all dealers selling databot™ products which have not signed an aRbotics LLC MAP Policy agreement are classified as Unauthorized Resellers. 

Distributors of aRbotics LLC are required to provide a signed MAP agreement from any dealer selling databot™ products. Unauthorized dealers should not be sold to or provided a feed from any distributor, at any time whatsoever. 

Violations from Authorized Resellers will need to be corrected within 24 hours of notification. 

First Violation: Authorized Reseller’s account will be put on hold temporarily and a written warning will be provided. MAP violations must be corrected within 24 hours. Upon correction and following 30 days of compliance, violation will then be cleared. 

Second Violation: Authorized Reseller’s account will be put on hold for 30 days. 

Third Violation: Authorized Reseller’s account will be put on hold for 180 days. After this duration, aRbotics LLC will review and determine if account is to be reinstated. 

Fourth Violation: Should aRbotics LLC decide to reinstate an Authorized Reseller who has previously demonstrated a third violation, yet violates a fourth time, the account will be unauthorized indefinitely. 

aRbotics LLC will issue a new price list upon the first day of each year, based on a calendar year. Other price changes may occur throughout the course of the year and Resellers will be notified by email of such changes. Reseller pricing must be updated immediately upon receipt.
