Map Violations:
Redcat Racing takes MAP guidelines very seriously and reviews online
dealer websites and auction sites to ensure rules compliance.
If a violation is found, your dealer account
will be suspended until the violation if fixed. If your dealer account
continues to have MAP violations, Redcat reserves the right to delay account
reactivation until further notice and in some cases, your account could be
suspended indefinately.
Redcat Racing has updated our
MAP rules. This policy
supersedes all previous policies and must be followed by all dealers,
wholesalers, resellers and those that advertise Redcat products on any
website, publication, newspaper or other media.
Redcat Racing provides MAP requirements for each of our RTR products.
Redcat does not provide MAP requirements for spare/replacement
parts, and has no restrictions on what our wholesale partners advertise
these items for.
Redcat Racing offers two levels of MAP rules depending on what media
items are being sold through.
Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with these levels to ensure you
are in accordance with the guidelines posted.
Failure to adhere to the MAP policy may result in suspension of
your wholesale buying privileges.
�
Level 1 Pricing:
Level 1 is for all sites that are NOT owned by you. This
includes Ebay, Amazon, Craigslist and any other site that you do not
personally own 100%.
�
Level 2 Pricing:
Level 2 is for your company owned website. This is a website that
represents your company and is 100% owned by you. Level 2 pricing is
also permitted for any marketing done through traditional print advertising,
flyers or local marketing that is not internet advertising.
Level 2 pricing is lower than level 1 pricing because there is a cost
associated with owning your own website. There are marketing expenses to get
customers to your site. Dealers with their own site need to be able to offer
lower pricing to attract customers away from auction sites and other online
shopping sites.
Specific MAP guidelines for website,
online listings & Auctions with BUY IT NOW:
�
Any advertised selling price for the RTR vehicle
must be MAP pricing or higher.
�
You may offer free shipping and/or free accessories
with purchase, as long as MAP pricing for the vehicle remains in effect.
For example: A Volcano
S30 with Free Starter Kit and Free Shipping must have a selling price of at
least current MAP for Volcano S30.
Specific MAP guidelines AUCTION STYLE
LISTINGS:
�
You can list an auction starting below MAP as long
it is traditional auction style listing WITHOUT the Buy It Now Option.
�
You can start the auction at any price you want and
therefore run the risk of the auction selling below your wholesale cost.
�
If you choose to put a reserve on the auction, the
reserve price must be set at MAP or higher.
