MAP Policy

US Direct is dedicated to providing your customers the highest quality online purchase experience from all of our dealers. As such, we enforce minimum advertised price policies (MAP policy compliance) communicated to us by our branded-vendor partners to protect their product’s imagery, trademark and pricing.

MAP policy compliance applies to all internet sales of our branded-vendor’s products sold in North America (including Canada) and internationally, except in countries where such policies are prohibited by law.

A US Direct dealer is required to conform to the published MAP policy compliance established by each of the branded-vendor products you resell. You may not ADVERTISE any of the MAP products at a price below the designated MAP price provided in your feed. We ensure that our dealers do not sell below MAP by disabling the capability to adjust pricing below MAP.

MAP policy compliance applies to all branded-vendor partners’ products offered for resale based on the current retail price they publish and, subsequently, is unique to each of our partners. MAP pricing is subject to change, so it is possible that our partners may providing incomplete or outdated pricing. If you find that a brand/product does not include or does not match current MAP pricing enforced by the brand within our feed, please be sure to inform us of this ASAP so that we can make any necessary changes. To contact us, please email support@gousdirect.com.

It is the sole discretion of US Direct to reserve the right to review a reseller’s compliance with branded-vendor partner’s MAP policy. If it is verified a US Direct dealer advertises a vendor-branded product below the MAP policy price, they will no longer be eligible to purchase or resell that branded-product line and may result in other feed restrictions.

Selling On Marketplaces

When purchasing an integration between US Direct and a marketplace (Amazon, Walmart and/or eBay) utilizing Inventory Source’s inventory and order automation services, you acknowledge that you are responsible for reviewing and abiding by the respective marketplace’s policies. You also understand that by integrating with US Direct, not ALL product sourced by US Direct are eligible to be on a marketplace. Inventory Source provides tools for you to exclude and remove selected products to assist in filtering out restricted/prohibited products.

When we learn of brands that are restricted, we will make the effort to exclude these brands from the feed for our dealers that are integrated to that specific marketplace. To see a list of brands that have restrictions and have been excluded, please see Restricted Brands page.

US Direct is an authorized reseller for all products sourced from our suppliers; however, we are unable to provide documentation that you or your company is authorized to resell these products. This mean due diligence is required on your part when curating a store catalog for this integration. Inventory Source nor US Direct will be held responsible for any action taken against your seller account or any other penalties that result due to listing products that are not eligible to be resold on marketplaces.

If you find that a brand/product has a restriction on where products may sold that is enforced by the brand, please be sure to inform us of this ASAP so that we can make any necessary changes. If you have any questions about which products you are allowed to list on your respective integration’s marketplace, please contact the marketplace’s customer service.
