Hi Randy,

We don't break MAP unless = someone else breaks first, then we match until they come back up. If all = of our listings are not at MAP, that means someone else broke and we are = matching them. 

 

I = have set to strict now and will check back in a couple = days. 

 

MAP = goes both ways and we will take it as seriously as Trans Ocean does. If = you are not able to maintain the commitment to us, then we cannot be the = only ones complying with your policy = either. 

 

If = you are going to allow others to break, we should be able to break too = until you are able to come up with a plan to ensure a level playing and = maintain your commitment. If not and the expectation is that OJ Commerce = maintain MAP while Amazon and others are allowed to break without = consequence and play the hero, then we are not interested in continuing = to market Trans Ocean's products.

 

Please let me know the plan and timeline to enforce = the policy or let me know if we should take the line = down.

 

Thanks,

Jesse
