New & Used Products/Pricing:
Sound Smith products sold as anything other than new must be identified as used and will subsequently not be covered by the corresponding Sound Smith brand’s warranty. Dealers may have Sound Smith products in their inventory that have served as display models or have been returned by consumers. Such products may still qualify as new, yet exhibit minor wear, and as a result, dealers may be unable to present these items as unblemished or in factory condition. In such cases, dealers may advertise these products at up to 20% off MAP provided such advertisements clearly state the condition of the product. Advertisements of this nature should also be designated with a condition code of “New Other” where the option is available to distinguish the product from other first quality goods. Phrasing such as, “scratch and dent”, “floor model”, “demo model”, or similar phrases must be clearly displayed in the item’s title/primary description. Additional information describing typical wear and tear of such items must also be included in the product’s listing. An item presented in such condition must be listed as a separate item from unblemished or factory sealed items. In cases where a product has been displayed, returned, box opened or otherwise, but the product exhibits no visible use wear and tear and can be returned to original packaging, Dealers must advertise these products as new.

Trademarks

Dealer acknowledges the validity of Sound Smith’s trademarks, trade names and patent rights and agrees not to take any action which would in any way reduce, misappropriate or in any other way adversely affect such rights.
