Reseller Terms & Conditions
Effective July 1, 2017
This document serves as the YouCopia Products Inc. (“YouCopia”) statement of terms,
conditions, and general requirements under which YouCopia sells its products to resellers.
Authorized resellers include all distributors and retailers that have completed a New Customer
Account Form and been approved by YouCopia, including those with physical storefronts,
catalogs, and/or ecommerce websites, selling domestically (U.S.) and internationally. All orders
for goods are subject to acceptance by YouCopia and the following terms and conditions.
RESELLER OBLIGATIONS
YouCopia’s goods may only be sold at approved locations and to consumers, and not to third-party
distributors. Transfer of YouCopia’s goods to unauthorized retail dealers or unauthorized
locations is prohibited.
YouCopia does not allow resellers to sell their goods on any third-party websites, including but
not limited to Amazon.com, Alibaba.com, Rakuten.com, eBay.com, Jet.com, Houzz.com,
Overstock.com, and Walmart.com. Linking or forming an alliance in any manner to such third-party
sites, whether Marketplace, Classified Ad, Online Auction, or Retail website, may
constitute an express violation of this policy and YouCopia will be the determinant in all cases. A
reseller is permitted to sell on its own website if the website is reported to and accepted by
YouCopia during New Customer Account Set-up.
YouCopia has an established brand of organization products with unique features, design
elements, intellectual property, and images that are marketed to the consumer. YouCopia
expects its resellers to adhere to minimum standards for the resale of its products, including the
reseller communicating and/or illustrating the products in an accurate and truthful manner,
maintaining the capability and willingness to provide necessary information about the products
to facilitate proper selection by the consumer, and engaging in trade practices that convey a
consistent quality image of the products.
NEW ACCOUNTS
A completed New Customer Account Form must be submitted to sales@youcopia.com. New
accounts will be opened at YouCopia’s sole discretion based upon reseller acceptance of Terms
and Conditions, market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by YouCopia. Each
individual resale location and reseller-owned website must be approved by YouCopia. Please
allow up to 2 weeks for a reply and set-up processing.
PRICING POLICY
All prices listed on the YouCopia Price Lists are wholesale prices, meaning they are available to
the domestic and international trade only. Please refer to the official Price List for
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) on all YouCopia items. The MSRP and Price
YouCopia Products Inc.
All Rights Reserved YouCopia Products Inc. 4410 N. Ravenswood Ave. Suite 102, Chicago, IL 60640
Lists are subject to revision at YouCopia’s sole discretion; such revisions will be made and
distributed to resellers as they occur.
Resellers are required to maintain a displayed price at or above MSRP in all advertising,
print, web, and media exposure, unless otherwise approved in writing by YouCopia. The
term MSRP used within this policy means the net price displayed by the Reseller and paid by
the consumer, exclusive of shipping costs, freight, or any other additional charges for a
YouCopia product. Inducements to purchase a YouCopia product, including, but not limited to,
rebates, gifts, or premiums offered, or any other form of direct or indirect offer to establish a net
price below the MSRP will be considered a violation of this pricing policy.
The YouCopia pricing policy applies to first-quality goods and merchandise only. The policy will
not apply to distressed, discontinued, or close-out goods and merchandise. In such instance,
such items must be clearly labeled, posted, marked, and/or identified as such in the retail store
and/or on the website.
Violations of this pricing policy may lead to the cancellation of pending and/or subsequent
orders and removal of reseller as an authorized reseller, at the sole discretion of YouCopia.
PAYMENT TERMS
For domestic resellers, merchandise and applicable freight charges will be invoiced when order
is processed and shipped. We require prepayment by credit card for the first order, after which
Net 30 terms are available upon credit approval.
For direct import resellers, merchandise and applicable freight charges will be invoiced when
order is produced and shipped. We require 100% prepayment alongside purchase order for the
first order, after which 100% CAD terms are available upon credit approval.
All payment due dates are based on the YouCopia invoice date. Invoices will be considered
paid based upon the postmark on the remittance envelope or date of receipt of electronic funds.
Past due accounts will be subject to an interest/service charge of 1% monthly, beginning 30
days after due date.
YouCopia reserves the right at any time to suspend or change credit terms if the reseller’s
account standing becomes past due. Additionally, YouCopia may withhold all subsequent
shipments until the account is settled in full. For any invoice inquiries and requests, please
contact accounting@youcopia.com.

partial shipment, backorder, or cancellation is preferred.

for damage and immediately file a claim with the freight carrier. All claims for breakage,
damage, or loss must be reported to the carrier within 48 hours. YouCopia cannot be

insurrection, riot, shortage of goods or transportation, civil or military authority, or any other
cause which is unavoidable or beyond reasonable control.
RETURNS
No goods may be returned without prior authorization from YouCopia. All return shipments must
be prepaid and clearly marked with the return authorization number. Returned goods must be in
unused, saleable condition, and may not be older than 1 year. Freight collect returns will not be
accepted. Damaged items will be billed at full repair costs if the original cartons are not used for
return or if goods have been improperly packed.

year from date of purchase under normal, non-commercial applications while used in compliance
with the operating instructions. This warranty extends only to the original retail purchaser and is
valid only when supplied with proof of purchase. YouCopia will either repair, or at our option
