Terms of Purchase

Green Drain, Inc. (GDI)  

U.S. Minimum Advertised Price Policy  

1. INTRODUCTION  

Green Drain, Inc. is transforming the way consumers have been trained on proactive facility maintenance techniques. We do this by educating our customers, distributors, and end-users on the benefits that Green Drain will bring to their home and workplace.    

What began as a simplistic remedy offered throughout the Plumbing Industry, has now become an overall benefit for worker and  patient health in the environments they spend the most time.  

We recognize that our success is tied to the success of our network of authorized dealers. We also know that many of our dealers  invest significant time and resources to deliver an extraordinary customer experience. We want to protect their ability to do so,  while at the same time discouraging price-based advertising that would be detrimental to our dealer’s service and support efforts.  As a result, Green Drain, Inc. has unilaterally established this Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) Policy.
