Online Seller Policy

ArArt is committed to working with customers to facilitate the sale of ArArt products through ecommerce channels. ArArt maintains an eCommerce Authorized Reseller Policy to protect ArArt brand and intellectual property, as well as authorized channel partners. This policy is also in place to protect end customers, ensuring they receive accurate product information, pricing and customer service that meets ArArt’s standards. Finally, the policy works to ensure fair competition among resellers as well as supporting those who have invested in stocking and marketing ArArt products and abide by ArArt policies and programs. ArArt will interpret and enforce this policy at its sole discretion. To be considered an eCommerce Authorized Reseller (“Reseller”), you must meet the following requirements:

Sell on Approved Websites Only

• Unless otherwise explicitly authorized in writing by the Director of Sales, Director of DTC, or the Director of Wholesale after the effective date of this policy, Resellers may only take orders via websites owned and operated by their own company. Selling on third party marketplaces (e.g., Amazon, eBay, Walmart, etc.), drop- ship accounts (e.g., Macy’s Marketplace, Faire.com, etc.) or classified sites (e.g., Facebook Marketplace, etc.) is strictly prohibited.

Maintain Accurate Brand & Product Information

• Maintain proper use of all ArArt trademarks.
• Sell product only in original packaging.
• Do not duplicate, or develop different, UPCs to differentiate a product.

Online Marketing

• If a Reseller wishes to participate in the marketing of ArArt brand and product through a Google Adwords Account, the reseller must submit a request to ArArt for a list of approved ad keywords to use as to not to compete directly with ArArt primary marketing efforts.

Sell Only to End Users

• Only distributors purchasing products directly from ArArt are authorized to resell products to Resellers in accordance with this policy.
• Resellers should not sell ArArt products to other eCommerce resellers. ArArt recognizes that sales to eCommerce resellers may inadvertently occur from time to time. Therefore, in the event you inadvertently transact with other ecommerce resellers, you must disclose the details of those transactions (e.g., when and to whom such products were sold) so that ArArt may enforce this policy.
• Sellers transacting ArArt products through eCommerce that did not procure product fromArArt, or an authorized distributor of ArArt, directly, are not authorized to sell ArArt products online or use ArArt trademarks, copyrights, images or product information. ArArt reserves the right to take enforcement action against the seller and supplier of the product in accordance with this policy.

Unauthorized Exports or Marketing in Other Countries

• You shall cooperate with ArArt in preventing unauthorized exportation of the Products. You shall not advertise for sale or ship Products outside of the U.S. or sell Products to any third party that advertises for sale or ships the Products outside of the U.S., in each case without the prior written consent of ArArt.

Bulk Sales by Resellers

• The Products may not be sold in bulk by Resellers. “Bulk” is defined as more than (3) cases in a single transaction. Resellers shall use reasonable efforts to identify suspicious purchase patterns (e.g., frequent purchases by an individual) and promptly report the same to ArArt.

Customer Confusion

• You may not advertise, market, promote, display, demonstrate, bundle or sell non- ArArt products in a manner that would create the impression that the non- ArArt are made by, endorsed by, work with or are associated with ArArt, LLC or the Products. You must ensure that the Products never are misbranded or represented as another brand.

Disclose All Seller Names & Properties

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date company information and disclose all retail locations, web properties, temporary storefronts, and seller names across all channels directly to ArArt. Any seller transacting through eCommerce must report all websites and seller names advertising or transacting ArArt products to contact@arart11.com
