MAP Policy

BISS Product Development, LLC (Risk Racing) actively supports the advertising and promotion of its products by its Dealers and Sales Representatives.

In order to protect the integrity of our brand and the margins of our dealers, Risk Racing takes MAP guidelines seriously and therefore reviews online dealer websites and auction sites to ensure rules compliance.

Effective January 1st, 2018, a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) on the STKR/RISK product listed in the above Table (STKR/RISK Product Under MAP) will be in effect. We have implemented this MAP policy to preserve our distribution, dealer relationships, and a strong reputation for providing customers with high-value products and valued after-sales support.  We greatly appreciate the efforts of all resellers to distribute our products and support their customers.

The MAP policy shall work under the following guidelines: 

This policy supersedes all previous policies and must be followed by all dealers, resellers and those that advertise any of these products on any website, publication, newspaper or other media. 

1. The MAP for these items shall be at our posted MSRP at all times.  The published list price is provided on the Risk Racing website: MAP_Pricing.html.  MAP pricing is established by Risk Racing and may be adjusted by Risk Racing at its sole discretion. 

2. The MAP policy is specific to ONLINE pricing and anything searchable and/or publicly visible ONLINE.  It is not applicable to any in-store advertising or public advertisements including,  flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and public signage.  

3. MAP does not establish maximum advertised prices. All dealers and sales representatives may offer these items at any price in excess of the MAP. Internet auctions may not display or have reserved bid or other acceptable prices below the MAP price. 

4. The MAP policy does not in any way limit the ability of any dealer to advertise that “they have the lowest prices” or, they “will meet or beat any competitor’s price”, that consumers should “call for a price” or phrases of similar import as long as the price advertised online for the products is not less than MAP. 

5. Dealer agrees to hold all trademarks of Risk Racing as the property of Risk Racing and use advertising materials provided by Risk Racing in an authorized manner only. 

6. If you are planning a limited-time, one-off, promotion that falls outside of these guidelines (ie: Online Black Friday deal) you must adhere to the following guidelines: 

• Limited Time Only – Must not exceed 5 days 

• Time frame of the sale must be clearly stated  

• Must be supported by a promotional vehicle 

• Must only be offered from the Dealers own store or website 

• Product must always run at Full MSRP on any 3rd party sites such as Amazon or eBay
