Wholesale Policies


OPENING ORDERS & NEW ACCOUNTS:

Upon approval, wholesale accounts will be given access to place their opening order per approved resale location. Each account, shipping location and order requires pre-approval from Moodcast Fragrance Co. Orders for new accounts must be prepaid prior to shipment. Payment, including the freight charge, may only be made by credit card unless another payment method has been approved or requested by Moodcast Fragrance Co. Moodcast Fragrance Co. reserves the right to approve or reject an account in its sole discretion.


ORDERS:

All orders are subject to corporate approval and Moodcast Fragrance Co. reserves the right to refuse any order. Changes to dated orders must be made at least five days prior to requested ship date. MINIMUM: The minimum order amount per resale/shipping location will be provided to approved accounts. Orders will not be shipped to accounts that are past due. Past due accounts will be billed late charges of 1.5% per month (18% per annum). Stores must actively reorder to the minimum requirement within six (6) months or they will revert to inactive status and will again be subject to opening requirements including new approval.


SALES TAX EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE:

A Sales Tax Exemption Certificate is required at the time you submit an order. Online wholesale purchasing access will not be granted until this form is received. If a retailer is unable to provide an Exemption Certificate, we may be required to charge sales tax. LOCATIONS: Moodcast Fragrance Co. products can only be sold in stores and/or websites approved in advance by our corporate office. If you maintain multiple store locations, whether physical storefronts or internet site, each location is subject to approval by the corporate office prior to the sale of any Moodcast Fragrance Co. products from that location. PRICES: Current prices are as listed on our Price List. Prices are subject to change without notice.


MAP POLICY:

In an effort to promote fair competition across all our retail outlets, we have a Minimum Advertising Pricing (MAP) policy. All Moodcast Fragrance Co. products must, at a minimum, have an advertised price equal to MAP. A current list of all products and MAP can be obtained by contacting wholesale@moodcast.co and requesting pricing. Moodcast Fragrance Co. reserves the right to refuse orders prospectively from Buyers who do not adhere to this policy.


RESTRICTION:

Moodcast Fragrance Co. does not allow restrictions within approved locations. Approved locations may carry any assortment appropriate to their store, subject to account classification (per new account terms and opening order minimums).

If reshipment is requested, shipping costs and restocking charge will be assessed and billed. Any account that refuses an order a second time will be reviewed for removal from wholesale access.


RETURNED CHECKS:

While Moodcast Fragarnce Co. does not accept checks as payment for wholesale accounts with online ordering access; if, for some reason, a check is used as payment, these terms will apply. Any checks returned will incur a fee of the lesser of $30 or the maximum amount permitted by law. If a check is returned, it will be redeposited. If a redeposited check is returned unpaid, the account will be placed with a third-party collection agency. Any account with a second check returned will be placed on prepaid status. Moodcast Fragrance Co. will not ship any new orders until the NSF-related fees, returned check fees, or any related costs and penalties are paid in full.
