Suggested Retail Pricing
The Suggested Retail Pricing Policy of Nutri-Dyn Midwest, Inc. is for all of its customers selling its professional lines of products online to sell such products at or above the suggested retail prices. Any advertisements, discounts, rewards programs, coupons, special offers, sales, promotions, etc. must explicitly state "Not valid on Nutri-Dyn or TonicSea products" and products must checkout at or above suggested retail pricing. Private patients being treated by the practitioner may be given a private patient code to be entered upon checkout to replicate the discount provided to patients in the practitioner's office. This code must not be provided to any customer via broadcast email, must not be shown on the website, and must not be made available to anyone other than the practitioner's private patients. Reference upon checkout may only be as "patient code"; i.e., any word implying a discount, special, sale, coupon, etc. may not be used.
If a practitioner is found to have emailed the code to an email database that includes customers other than private patients, the option to discount to private patients via an online website will be revoked. Continued or repeated violations will result in account termination.
Nutri-Dyn neither seeks nor will accept any assurances from any customer that it will not deviate from this Suggested Retail Pricing Policy. The suggested retail prices set forth are unilaterally set by Nutri-Dyn and are not open to discussion or negotiation with any of its customers.
Nutri-Dyn reserves the right not to sell or supply any products to any customer that is affiliated with a website that violates this Suggested Retail Pricing Policy. Any reference or inference at all to discounts, price reductions, special call-in pricing, coupons, price-matching policies, or any other special promotion or offer on Nutri-Dyn or TonicSea products will be deemed to be violations of this policy and grounds for immediate suspension of affiliated Customer's account(s).
