Effective Date: April 25, 2022
This AMMEX Corporation Authorized Reseller Policy for the United States (“Reseller Policy”) is issued by AMMEX Corporation (“AMMEX”) and applies to Authorized Resellers of AMMEX®, AMMEX® PROFESSIONAL, GLOVEWORKS®, X3®, and GLOVEPLUS® products (“Product(s)”) in the United States of America. By purchasing Products from AMMEX or an Authorized AMMEX Distributor of the Products for resale to End Users (as defined below), you (“Reseller”) agree to adhere to the following terms. Until such status is otherwise revoked by AMMEX in AMMEX’s sole and absolute discretion, Reseller shall be considered an “Authorized Reseller.” This Reseller Policy supplements any then-current reseller agreement between you and AMMEX. AMMEX may review Reseller’s activities for compliance with this Reseller Policy, and Reseller agrees to cooperate with any such investigation, including, but not limited to, permitting inspection of Reseller’s facilities and records related to the sale of the Products.
  1. Authorized Customers. Reseller is authorized to sell Products only to End Users in the United States. An “End User” is any purchaser of the Merchandise who is the ultimate user of the Merchandise (whether for business or consumer use) and who does not intend to resell the Merchandise to any third-party. Reseller shall not sell or transfer Products to any person or entity Reseller knows or has reason to know intends to resell the Products. Reseller shall not sell, ship, or promote the Products outside the United States of America without AMMEX’s prior written consent.
  2. Online Sales.
    1. Reseller is authorized to offer for sale and sell Products through Permissible Public Websites in accordance with the terms herein. A “Permissible Public Website” is a publicly accessible ecommerce enabled webpage hosted on a website owned and operated by Reseller that:
        1. is operated by Reseller in Reseller’s legal name or registered fictitious name;
        2. is not a third-party storefront on an online marketplace, classified, dropship, or similar third-party operated platform (including, but not limited to, eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, Walmart Marketplace, Newegg.com, Overstock.com, Craigslist.com, and Facebook Marketplace);
        3. if Reseller does not have a direct purchasing relationship with AMMEX, has been registered through the AMMEX Corporation Reseller Website Registration Form found at https://info.ammex.com/AMMEX-Corporation-Reseller-Website-Registration-Form; and
        4. is operated in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the AMMEX Corporation Online Sales Guidelines, attached as Exhibit A, as AMMEX may amend from time to time.
      If Reseller does not have a direct purchasing relationship with AMMEX, Reseller agrees to promptly notify AMMEX of any change to the information submitted on its AMMEX Corporation Reseller Website Registration Form by reregistering with AMMEX at https://info.ammex.com/AMMEX-Corporation-Reseller-Website-Registration-Form.
    2. Reseller shall not offer for sale or sell Products on or through any website, online marketplace, mobile application, or other online forum other than a Permissible Public Website without the prior written consent of AMMEX.
    3. AMMEX reserves the right to terminate, at any time and in its sole discretion, its approval for Reseller to market and sell Products on the Permissible Public Websites, and Reseller must cease all such marketing and sales on the Permissible Public Websites immediately upon notice of such termination. The terms of this Reseller Policy supersede any prior agreement between AMMEX and Reseller regarding the sale of the Products online. Any authorization previously granted to Reseller by AMMEX to sell the Products on or through a website, mobile application, or other online forum is revoked.
  3. Sales Practices. Reseller shall conduct its business in a reasonable and ethical manner at all times and shall not engage in any deceptive, misleading, or unethical practices or advertising at any time. Reseller shall not make any warranties or representations concerning the Products except as expressly authorized by AMMEX. Reseller shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and policies (a) applicable to Reseller’s business and/or (b) related to the marketing and sale of the Products. Reseller shall represent the Products in a professional manner and refrain from any conduct that is or could be detrimental to the reputation of AMMEX or the Products. Reseller shall not advertise Products not carried in inventory. Reseller must represent that Reseller is an Authorized Reseller of the products in all advertising & sales collateral.

    1. Reseller acknowledges and agrees that AMMEX or its licensors own all proprietary rights in and to the Product brands, names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights, and other intellectual property related to the Products (the “AMMEX IP”). Reseller is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the AMMEX IP solely for purposes of marketing and selling the Products as set forth herein. This license will cease upon termination of Reseller’s status as an Authorized Reseller. All goodwill arising from Reseller’s use of the AMMEX IP shall inure solely to the benefit of AMMEX [AMMEX or its licensors].
    2. Reseller’s use of the AMMEX IP shall be in accordance with any guidelines that may be provided by AMMEX from time to time, including AMMEX’s Intellectual Property and Branding Guidelines available at https://www.ammex.com/ip-and-branding-guidelines/.

Reseller may not conduct any public relations campaigns that cite, show, or communicate anything about AMMEX without AMMEX’s written permission, which permission can be refused. In no case will Reseller take any action that is in conflict with AMMEX’s rights in or ownership of any Product brand, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property right.

Upon termination of a Reseller’s status as an Authorized Reseller, Reseller shall immediately cease (i) selling the Products; (ii) acting in any manner that may reasonably give the impression that Reseller is an Authorized Reseller of AMMEX Products or has any affiliation whatsoever with AMMEX; and (iii) using all AMMEX IP.
  7. Modification. AMMEX reserves the right to update, amend, or modify this Reseller Policy at any time. Unless otherwise provided, such amendments will take effect immediately, and Reseller’s continued use, advertising, offering for sale, or sale of the Products, use of the AMMEX IP, or use of any other information or materials provided by AMMEX to Reseller will be deemed Reseller’s acceptance of the amendments.
  8. Confidentiality. This Reseller Policy, and its attachments, constitute confidential, proprietary information of AMMEX and shall not be used for any purpose other than the authorized advertising and sale of the Products nor disclosed to any third-party without the prior written consent of AMMEX.
