MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE (MSRP)

To assist our various retailers, we have established guidelines for suggested prices that retailers may charge for an individual product in Surf-fur’s current dealer price list. We believe that charging a price lower than the current published MSRP could result in end users developing a negative attitude towards Surf-fur products. Hence, prices will remain in effect until superseded by a new price listing. Finally, Surf-fur reserves the right to adjust these prices and policies as market conditions warrant. Any dealer that wishes to place a "sale tag" or advertise a "sale price" on Surf-fur products must first send written notification and contact a Surf-fur sales representative before doing so.
