UPP Policy
Unilateral Pricing Policy
In an effort to protect the long-term interest of our dealers, distributors and customers, we have universally adopted a Unilateral Pricing Policy (UPP) effective January 1st 2021. This Policy is to ensure the preservation of Energy Wise Solution’s superior technology and quality products, the product value and to protect the profitability of Energy Wise Solution’s products across all channels of distribution. Although Resellers remain free to establish their own resell prices, this Policy sets forth the minimum price for which Energy Wise Solutions products can be advertised. This Policy is subject to all “Resellers” which include retailers, jobbers, dealers, installers, online retailers, and warehouse distributors. Energy Wise Solutions will actively and uniformly enforce this Policy, and Reseller actions deemed to be in violation of these policies will be enforced immediately.
