1. Introduction

Minted originated as an online-only platform offering unique, independent designs backed by high-quality, world-class manufacturing. Our online crowdsourcing process helps us curate the best assortment of designs freshly sourced from thousands of independent artists from more than 60 countries. We have grown exponentially over the years through our community of artists and customers who value great design.

As we expand our distribution offline through select wholesale partners, we want to support their efforts while maintaining our established online business. As a result, Minted has unilaterally established this Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) Policy.

2. Policy Statement

Minted, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to discontinue doing business with any business that advertises any product(s) covered by this MAP Policy at a price lower than the MAP.

3. General Guidelines

1. The products covered by this policy are (i) stocked products listed in our MAP Products Pricelist (“MAP Products”), and (ii) custom products for sale on minted.com. Minted may in its sole discretion modify this list from time to time.
2. The MAP Policy applies to advertised prices, not the price at which MAP Products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual in-store.

4. Advertising Guidelines

1. The MAP Policy applies to all advertisements of MAP Products in any and all media, including but not limited to flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, television, radio, and public signage, as well as Internet sites, social media sites, email, apps, or any other electronic media.
2. The MAP Policy does not apply solely to on-premise or in-store advertising that is not distributed to customers.
3. It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise that a customer may “call for price” or “email for price”, or to use similar language, specifically with respect to MAP Products, so long as no price is listed.
4. This MAP Policy also applies to any activity which Minted determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent the intent of this MAP Policy, such as solicitations for ‘group purchases’ and the like.
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 phrases; so long as the reseller does not include any advertised price below MAP and otherwise complies with this MAP Policy.
6. From time to time, Minted may permit specific resellers to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP retail price. In such events, Minted also reserves the right to modify or suspend the MAP retail price with respect to the affected products for a specified period of time by providing advance notice to all resellers of such changes.

5. Policy Enforcement

1. If a retailer with multiple store locations violates this MAP Policy at any one store location, or on any associated website, then Minted will consider this to be a violation by the retailer.
2. Minted reserves the right to cancel any pending orders, restrict future orders, or suspend an account if Minted reasonably believes:
   1. There has been a violation of the provisions of the MAP Policy; or
   2. There is an intent to violate the MAP Policy.
3. Minted is solely responsible for determining whether a violation of the MAP Policy as occurred, as well as determining appropriate sanctions.
4. Waivers to this MAP Policy may be granted in Minted’s sole discretion in writing. In the event that Minted authorizes a waiver to the MAP Policy, the retailer must strictly adhere to the terms of the waiver letter. Deviation from the terms of a waiver letter is a violation of the MAP Policy.
5. Minted monitors the advertised prices of retailers, either directly or via the use of 3rd party agencies or tools. Retailers are expected to provide reasonable cooperation in any Minted investigations regarding possible MAP Policy violations. Hindering, obstructing, delaying, or otherwise failing to cooperate with a Minted MAP Policy investigation is a violation of this MAP Policy.
6. The MAP Policy will be enforced by Minted in its sole discretion and without notice. Retailers have no right to enforce the MAP Policy. Violations of this policy may result in any of the aforementioned sanctions up to and including termination of our business relationship, as well as any available remedies at law. All questions related to this MAP Policy should be directed to: wholesale@minted.com.

6. List of MAP Products[3]

The MAP (i) for stocked products will be set forth in the MAP Products Price List, which will be emailed upon wholesale account approval and is subject to change from time to time, and (ii) for custom products will be the full retail price such products are available for at minted.com.
