Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy
SSV Works is committed to protecting the value of our products, maintaining a strong dealer network, and ensuring consistent brand representation across all sales channels. This Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy applies to all dealers, resellers, and distributors offering SSV Works products for sale to end consumers.
This Policy is unilateral and is not a contract. SSV Works does not seek, nor will it accept, any agreement regarding compliance.
1. Purpose
The purpose of this MAP Policy is to:
• Preserve the reputation and value of the SSV Works brand • Maintain fair competition among authorized sellers • Prevent channel conflict and marketplace price erosion • Ensure a consistent customer experience across all platforms
2. Minimum Advertised Pricing Requirements
Dealers must not advertise any SSV Works product below the Minimum Advertised Price established by SSV Works.
The following rules apply:
- Dealers may match SSV Works advertised pricing but may not undercut it
- MAP applies to all active products unless otherwise approved in writing
- MAP applies to all public facing advertisements, including: – Online marketplaces and e commerce stores – Printed ads – Email promotions – Social media posts – Paid search ads – Broadcast advertising
- MAP pricing does not prevent dealers from selling products at any price in store or via direct quote, but advertised prices must comply with policy
3. Marketplace and Amazon Restrictions
To protect brand integrity and prevent marketplace conflicts:
• Dealers may not undercut SSV Works pricing on Amazon

• Dealers may not create, modify, or assume ownership of Amazon listings using SSV Works product data or UPC codes
• SSV Works products may not be bundled, co packaged, rebranded, or advertised under another brand name for the purpose of gaining a separate marketplace listing or bypassing MAP.

• Only SSV Works is authorized to create and maintain official Amazon listings
• Dealers whose primary business is Amazon sales are not eligible to sell SSV Works products
4. Bundling and Promotions
