MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is in place to ensure price integrity of our products in the market.

This policy applies to our direct customers and to our distributors’ customers. Special marketing campaigns or promotional activities below MAP pricing may be granted but for a short duration. These must include a direct marketing component and be approved in writing by Sightmark . (Contact your representative for details)

    • An official company email will be sent to the offending party alerting them that they are non-compliant with our MAP policy. The email will include a list of offending SKUs. The customer has 24 hours to respond and comply with our MAP
    • If no correspondence is received about the violation after 48 hours all orders will be held until the customer acknowledges the violation.
