Your submission of this Wholesale Application indicates that you agree to the terms of the following Wholesale Agreement as established by Natural Earth Paint.
ORDERING
Orders may be placed by phone, by email or online. For email orders, please fill in our order form or submit a company purchase order. Coupon codes or promotional discounts do not apply to Wholesale orders. Lead-time: 3-5 days (from the time the order is placed until the day it is shipped)
Minimum order: $200
Order Confirmation: The Wholesale Account will receive an order confirmation via email before any product is shipped. By receiving the confirmation, the Wholesale Account agrees to receive the purchase order as confirmed. The Wholesale Account has 48 hours from the time the confirmation is received to contact Natural Earth Paint regarding canceling or adjusting the purchase order (although commonly, orders are shipped immediately after placed). The Wholesale Account will also receive a shipment confirmation email once the order has left our warehouse. It is the Wholesale Account’s responsibility to track shipment with the tracking number provided in the email. Once the shipment has left our warehouse, we are no longer responsible for that package. Any shipping claims must be made by Customer to the appropriate carrier / transportation company.
MSRP
All Natural Earth Paint products have a suggested retail price (MSRP). Retailers retain the right to charge above the MSRP; however, they may not charge less than the suggested retail price. In the event that the Wholesale Account chooses to place the products or goods for sale at a discount (MAP), the Wholesale Account cannot discount the products more than 15% below MSRP without the approval of Natural Earth Paint, and all items must be clearly identified as being priced below MSRP. Natural Earth Paint reserves the right to discontinue doing business with any reseller that advertises Natural Earth Paint products at a lower price than the MSRP.
WEB COMMERCE
No products or goods purchased from or produced by Natural Earth Paint shall be resold by or through any online auction or online store (such as Ebay, Amazon or other similar sites) without the express, written authority and permission from Natural Earth Paint. In the event permission is granted, the wholesaler must only use images and descriptions created and supplied by Natural Earth Paint.
PRODUCT IMAGES
Natural Earth Paint will make available images that you might require for your print and online presence. Should you require any additional images, please contact us. Any imagery you provide yourself must be approved prior to use.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
Natural Earth Paint will consider any special requests made by the Wholesale Account at the time the order is placed and prior to shipment, such as method of delivery and packaging, which may be subject to additional fees. We will try our best to accommodate our Wholesale Accounts as best we can, however we can make no guarantees.
PAYMENT METHODS/INVOICING
We currently accept the following payment methods: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal and checks. After receipt of order, the Wholesale Account will receive an Invoice via email with a “Pay Now” option. Payment method is based on history and relationship with accounts; however, all new accounts will be charged at the time of shipment until a reasonable payment history is established. At that point, the Wholesale Account will be given Net 30 Terms. If Net 30 terms are preferred, please email three trade references or a credit application. The Wholesale Account is not to deduct any fees from the invoice, under any circumstances without the expressed approval by Natural Earth Paint. Any unauthorized deductions or discounts reflected in the payment will be grounds for termination of contract between the Wholesale Account and Natural Earth Paint if not corrected immediately.
OVER DUE ACCOUNTS
Should terms be extended, Wholesale Accounts will be subject to an interest charge of 2% of the amount of the entire invoice beginning 30 days after the invoice is due, and will continue to accrue at 2% every 15 days thereafter. Terms will be reverted to pre-payment if account is overdue more than twice in a fiscal year. Natural Earth Paint retains the right to terminate any delivery or suspend further deliveries in the event the Wholesale Account’s financial condition becomes unsatisfactory.
SHIPPING/HANDLING
Our standard contracted shipping carrier (and typically most affordable) is UPS Ground for wholesale orders within the United States. We use USPS shipping for international orders or U.S. orders if shipment is needed faster than 8 days (Priority Mail: 2-3 days).
