GORILLA WHIPS’ MAP POLICY GUIDELINES FOR GORILLA WHIPS PRODUCTS

MAP pricing for all Gorilla Whips products can be found on your current price list.

Resellers and dealers are not required to list prices in advertising. If a price is listed in an advertisement it must be at or above MAP pricing. Other statements such as “call for price” or “call for quote” are acceptable and permitted.

Dealers are also responsible for ensuring their Gorilla Whips product pricing is at or above MAP on internet search engines. Dealers 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.

From time to time, Gorilla Whips may permit dealers to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP price. In such events, Gorilla Whips 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 dealers of such changes.
