Effective: June 29th, 2022.
STAY AT HOME SHOP (the “Company”) hereby adopts this Reseller Policy (this “Policy”) and requires that each person, firm, or entity (as applicable, a “Reseller”) that purchases STAY AT HOME SHOP’s products (the “Products”) for resale or other distribution agree to comply with this Policy.
Any Reseller that fails to comply with this Policy will be deemed an unauthorized reseller of the Products, and as such, shall have no right to (i) sell the Products, (ii) use STAY AT HOME SHOP’s intellectual property, including any of its trademarks or copyrights, or (iii) offer STAY AT HOME SHOP’s consumer warranty applicable to any of the Products.
STAY AT HOME SHOP is committed to working with customers to facilitate the sale of STAY AT HOME SHOP products through e-commerce channels. STAY AT HOME SHOP maintains a Reseller Policy to protect STAY AT HOME SHOP brand and intellectual property, as well as authorized channel partners. This policy is also in place to protect end customers, ensuring they receive accurate product information, pricing, and warranty protection that meets STAY AT HOME SHOP standards. Finally, the policy works to ensure fair competition among resellers as well as support those who have invested in stocking and marketing STAY AT HOME SHOP products and abide by STAY AT HOME SHOP policies and programs. STAY AT HOME SHOP will interpret and enforce this policy at its sole discretion. To be considered an Authorized Reseller (“Reseller”), you must meet the following requirements:
Sell on Approved Websites Only
Unless otherwise explicitly authorized in writing by STAY AT HOME SHOP after the effective date of this policy, Resellers may only take orders via websites owned and operated by their STAY AT HOME SHOP. Selling on third-party marketplaces, dropship accounts, or classified sites is strictly prohibited.
Maintain Accurate Brand & Product Information
Maintain proper use of all STAY AT HOME SHOP trademarks.
Sell product only in original packaging.
Do not duplicate or develop different UPCs to differentiate a product.
Product Packaging and Display.
Resellers shall sell Products in their original packaging. Relabeling, repackaging (including the separation of bundled products or the bundling of products), and other alterations to Products or their packaging are not permitted. Tampering with, defacing, or otherwise altering any serial number, UPC code, batch or lot code, SKU, or other identifying information on Products or their packaging is prohibited. The reseller may not remove, translate, or modify the contents of any label or literature accompanying STAY AT HOME SHOP the Products. Reseller shall not advertise, market, display, or demonstrate non-STAY AT HOME SHOP Products together with the Products in a manner that would create the impression that the non-STAY AT HOME SHOP Products are made by, endorsed by, or associated with STAY AT HOME SHOP.
Sell Only to End Users
Only resellers purchasing products directly from STAY AT HOME SHOP or an authorized STAY AT HOME SHOP distributor are authorized to resell products by this policy.
Authorized resellers should not sell STAY AT HOME SHOP products to other resellers. STAY AT HOME SHOP recognizes that sales to e-commerce resellers may inadvertently occur from time to time. Therefore, in the event you inadvertently transact with other e-commerce resellers, you must disclose the details of those transactions (e.g., when and to whom such products were sold) so that STAY AT HOME SHOP may enforce this policy.
Sellers transacting STAY AT HOME SHOP products through e-commerce that did not procure the product from STAY AT HOME SHOP directly or an authorized STAY AT HOME SHOP distributor are not authorized to sell STAY AT HOME SHOP products online or use STAY AT HOME SHOP trademarks, copyrights, images, or product information. STAY AT HOME SHOP reserves the right to take enforcement action against the seller and supplier of the product by this policy.
Disclose All Seller Names & Properties
Maintain accurate and up-to-date STAY AT HOME SHOP information and disclose all retail locations, web properties, temporary storefronts, and seller names across all channels directly to STAY AT HOME SHOP. Any seller transacting through e-commerce must report all websites and seller names advertising or transacting STAY AT HOME SHOP products to info@stayathomeshop.net.
Provide e-commerce Sell-Through Data upon Request
Upon request, provide e-commerce sell-through point of sale data by UPC and web property.

Authorized Reseller Benefits

Applicability.
This Policy applies to all resales of the Products. Regardless of where the Products were acquired, either directly from the STAY AT HOME SHOP, through an authorized distributor, or some other procurement method, a Reseller must comply with the terms of this Policy.
Handling and Storage.
The reseller agrees to handle and store the Products in a safe manner and in compliance with STAY AT HOME SHOP’s storage and handling guidelines. The reseller will ensure that any Products it purchased are stored in secure, climate-controlled warehouses.
Trademarks; Copyrights.
Resellers that comply with this Policy have a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use STAY AT HOME SHOP’s trademarks and copyrights in connection with the sale of the Products. Reseller shall not alter, modify, or change any trademark or copyright, nor shall Reseller use any trademark or copyright other than for the promotion and sale of the Products, nor shall Reseller use any trademark or copyright in any manner that negatively impacts such trademark or copyright or the STAY AT HOME SHOP.

Support of Manufacturer’s Warranty.
The reseller may extend to any proper purchaser of the Products the original manufacturer’s warranty by its terms. The reseller may not modify or alter the original manufacturer’s warranty, represent or characterize the original manufacturer’s warranty in any misleading manner, or extend its own warranty concerning the Products. Failure to comply with this Policy will result in the total forfeiture of Reseller’s right to offer STAY AT HOME SHOP’s consumer warranty.
Other Information, Documents, and Reports.
Reseller must provide STAY AT HOME SHOP with any supplemental information, documents, and reports that STAY AT HOME SHOP may request to validate Reseller’s compliance with this Policy and to support STAY AT HOME SHOP’s warranty support and customer support obligations and initiatives.
