Logitech MAP Policy: US Minimum Advertised Price Rules

Logitech has adopted this MAP policy (“Policy”) to maintain and build brand equity, and encourage the promotion and investment by Logitech’s channel partners in Logitech products and services. This Policy defines Logitech’s expectations from all resellers of its products who advertise to customers in the United States (“Resellers”).

This Policy pertains to the minimum advertised prices (“MAP”) for Logitech’s products set forth herein (“Products”). Reseller will establish its own resale prices for Products in Reseller’s sole discretion, and Logitech will not discuss with any Reseller such Reseller’s Product resale prices. Nothing in this Policy restricts the actual price at which a Reseller may sell a Product.
