TRG Group-Wenger and Swiss Gear
Internet Dealer Pricing Policy
EFFECTIVE APRIL1, 2013
In order to create an orderly market for TRG ACCESSORIES (doing business as TRG
Group)(“TRG”) distributed product we are instituting this Internet Dealer Pricing Policy (“Policy”).
The purpose of this policy is to protect the Wenger and Swiss Gear (“Wenger”, “Swiss Gear”)
brands and assist our authorized retail partners with promoting and selling our product at
reasonable retail margins. TRG will periodically supply and update the acceptable pricing on
products covered by this policy to coincide with official price changes or product introductions.
This Internet Dealer Pricing Policy applies to any advertisement, promotion or sale of all
products listed. Any products not listed on the latest version of the Policy price list are
considered not part of the policy. This Policy applies to all product listed whether purchased
directly from TRG or from any other source including distributors or “grey market” sources.
While every retailer is free to set their own resale pricing, TRG is also free to conduct business
only with retail partners who comply with this Policy.
Advertising or promotion, for the purposes of this Policy, shall be any presentation, offer, or
solicitation for purposes of sale of Wenger and Swiss Gear product listed in the Policy price list
(attached “Exhibit A”) by the reseller including, without limitation, their on-line store including
shopping cart and checkout web pages. This shall include, but is not limited to, price lists,
newspaper and magazine advertisements, catalogs, flyers or other direct mail, signs, billboards,
banners on the exterior of the physical place of business to include any parking lot or parking
structure. These advertising and promotion standards also apply to any off premise events
(shows, conventions, auctions, flea markets, user groups, etc.) at or in which the reseller
participates for the purpose of selling Wenger and/or Swiss Gear products. It is also understood
that this policy covers any and all forms of electronic advertising to include radio, TV, facsimiles,
Internet (including online auctions, user groups, flea markets, etc.) and websites.
Consumer programs, when offered by TRG/Wenger and/or Swiss Gear, must be shown in
advertising as a separate line item with a consumer total or net price.
Example: MAXXUM 16” Computer Backpack Suggested Retail Price $79.99
Less Wenger and/or Swiss Gear Discount/ Rebate: $10.00
Price after Discount/ Rebate: $69.99
The net advertised price can only be shown when both the Policy pricing and rebate are
clearly shown.
Store-wide or category-wide promotions such as “All Bags on Sale” or “Entire Business Gear
line on Sale” are acceptable as long as Wenger and Swiss Gear products are not pictured or
listed and resultant pricing is compliant with this Policy. A brand heading that states, “10% off all
Wenger and/ or Swiss Gear” will not be compliant if the final advertised price for any product is
not compliant with this Policy. Advertising or promotions including Wenger and/or Swiss Gear
brand products which contains text, terms, or phrases implying that the reseller is offering
Wenger and/or Swiss Gear brand products below the Policy price is in violation of this Policy.
Product that that contains multiple components may not be sold separately but must be sold in
the configuration as originally distributed by TRG. All product contained on the Policy Price List
are covered by this Policy and all products must be solely acquired from TRG GROUP, 2047
Westport Center Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63146 or its Authorized Distributor(s).
The following are NOT a violation:
1) FREE Shipping
2) FREE Financing
3) Value add not to exceed 10% of business gear price (example: If a bag is $100.00 the value
added free items cannot exceed $10.00)
5) Refurbished or Used product as long as it is clearly stated in the product description that it is
refurbished or used.
These ARE a violation:
1) “All Wenger and/or Swiss Gear products on sale” (example: 10% off all Wenger bags)
2) Gift card with purchase when gift card can be used on same day as the original transaction.
The gift card cannot exceed 10% of the value of the product sold.
3) Any internet auctions which accept bids, excluding “buy it now” non-auction sales, are
considered a violation
