11. Amazon Policy. Oceanblue LLC believes in maintaining a well-regulated supply of quality products for its customers. Soft gel capsules have a discrete shelf life and require specific temperature ranges be maintained. In the event that Product is exposed to temperature ranges outside of the product’s characterized specifications, Product quality and shelf-life can be significantly impacted. Amazon.com offers products for sale from a co-mingled stock. Because the stock can come from sellers who have improperly stored product prior to shipping to Amazon, co-mingled stock can affect product quality and safety of products sold under Oceanblue LLC’s trademarks, including OCEAN BLUE and MINICAPS, among others. In order to ensure the quality of products sold through Amazon, PRODUCTS SOLD BY OCEANBLUE LLC TO PURCHASER ARE NOT FOR RESALE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ON AMAZON.COM. PURCHASER EXPRESSLY AGREES NOT TO OFFER PRODUCT FOR SALE OR RESALE ON AMAZON, EXCEPT AS AN AUTHORIZED RESELLER. Oceanblue LLC offers an authorized reseller program in order to ensure quality of products sold on Amazon.com; please contact Oceanblue LLC for details.

13. Use of Trademarks. The Purchaser recognizes Oceanblue LLC’s right, title, and interest in and to all service marks, trademarks, and trade names used by Oceanblue LLC and agrees not to engage in any activities or commit any acts, directly or indirectly, that may contest, dispute, or otherwise impair Oceanblue LLC’s right, title, and interest therein, nor shall the Purchaser cause diminishment of value of said trademarks or trade names through any act or representation. The Purchaser shall not apply for, acquire, or claim any right, title, or interest in or to any such service marks, trademarks, or trade names, or others that may be confusingly similar to any of them, through advertising or otherwise.

Oceanblue LLC is not responsible, nor will Oceanblue LLC moderate such statements. Purchaser assumes full liability for any Disease Claims made by purchaser about Oceanblue LLC’s dietary supplements.
15. Price Advertising Guidelines. Oceanblue LLC maintains a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy. The MAP Policy applies to advertised prices, not the price at which MAP Products are sold or offered for sale to an individual in-store or over the telephone. Oceanblue LLC’s MAP policy applies only to advertised prices on Amazon.com. Oceanblue LLC, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to discontinue doing business with any Purchaser that advertises any product(s) covered by this MAP Policy at a price lower than the MAP Price. MAP Price is the lowest advertised price allowed on Amazon.com under the MAP Policy; MAP Pricing is available to authorized resellers only.
a. The MAP Policy does not apply to solely on-premise, in-store, or non-Amazon online advertising.
b. Amazon.com features such as “click for price,” automatic price display for any items prior to being placed in a Purchaser’s shopping cart and other similar features are considered to be communications initiated by the Purchaser (rather than by the end consumer) and thereby constitute “advertising” under this MAP Policy.
c. It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise that a Purchaser may “call for price” or “email for price”, or to use similar language, specifically with respect to Oceanblue LLC Products sold on Amazon, so long as no price is advertised below the MAP Price.
d. This MAP Policy also applies to any activity which Oceanblue LLC determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent the intent of this MAP Policy, such as solicitations for ‘group purchases,’ bundle purchases in which the overall discount of the bundle creates an advertised discount, in aggregate of the bundle, which would appear to advertise a price below MAP Price if the discount were solely applied to Product, advertisements which include a gift card with purchase which in aggregate would create an advertised price below MAP Price, and similar configurations.
e. It shall not be a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise in general that the reseller has “the lowest prices” or will match or beat its competitors’ prices, or to use similar phrases; so long as the reseller does not include any advertised price below MAP and otherwise complies with this MAP Policy.
f. From time to time, Oceanblue LLC may, in its sole discretion, permit authorized resellers to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP Price. In such events, Oceanblue LLC reserves the right to modify or suspend the MAP Policy with respect to the affected products for a specified period by providing notice to all authorized resellers of such changes.
16. MAP Policy Enforcement. Oceanblue LLC monitors the advertised prices of dealers, either directly or via the use of 3rd party agencies or tools. Purchasers agree to provide reasonable cooperation in any Oceanblue LLC investigations regarding possible MAP Policy violations. Hindering, obstructing, delaying, or otherwise failing to cooperate with MAP Policy investigation is a violation of this MAP Policy. Oceanblue LLC will enforce MAP Policy in the following ways:
a. If an Purchaser with multiple store locations violates this MAP Policy on Amazon, or on any associated website, then Oceanblue LLC will consider this to be a violation by the dealer.
b. Oceanblue LLC reserves the right to cancel any pending orders, restrict future orders, or suspend Purchaser’s account if Oceanblue LLC reasonably believes:
i. an authorized reseller has violated the provisions of MAP Policy;
ii. an authorized reseller intends to violate MAP Policy; or
iii. a Purchaser who is not an authorized reseller has advertised a price on Amazon.com in violation of MAP Policy.
c. Oceanblue LLC’s MAP Policy Administrator is solely responsible for determining whether a violation of the MAP Policy as occurred, as well as determining appropriate sanctions.
d. Waivers to this MAP Policy may be granted in Oceanblue LLC’s sole discretion by the MAP Policy Administrator in writing. Oceanblue LLC sales or marketing employees, consultants, or Authorized Resellers are not authorized to modify or grant exceptions to the MAP Policy. If the MAP Policy Administrator authorizes a waiver to the MAP Policy, Purchasers must strictly adhere to the terms of the waiver letter. Deviation from the terms of a waiver letter is a violation of the MAP Policy.
e. The MAP Policy will be enforced by Oceanblue LLC in its sole discretion and without notice. Purchasers, distributors, authorized resellers, or anyone other than Oceanblue LLC have no right to enforce the MAP Policy, but may make others aware of the Oceanblue LLC policy. Violations of this policy may result in any of the aforementioned sanctions up to and including termination of our business relationship, as well as any available remedies at law. All questions related to this MAP Policy should be directed Oceanblue LLC’s Vice President of Sales at (561) 631-9872.
17. Applicable Law; Not for Sale Outside United States. Purchaser agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of relevant state law and of the United States of America. Purchaser agrees and represents that it is buying product for personal use or resale only in the United States. Oceanblue LLC may have additional terms and conditions governing resales under a separate contract with such resellers.
