All new retail applicants must have a valid business/resale license. All retailers are prohibited from selling any Swig Life item on any online marketplace, including but not limited to Amazon, eBay and Walmart. Approved retailers may sell on Etsy, Facebook and Instagram, but must adhere to all other policies and procedures. Buying groups and wholesaling are prohibited. Swig resellers are only authorized to sell to end consumers at full retail MAP. All retailers must adhere to our MAP (Minimum Advertised Pricing) Policy below. Any violations of the above policies will result in removal of your Swig Life purchasing privileges.

MAPP GUIDELINES

This Policy applies to all resellers of Swig Life products. Each reseller remains free to establish its own resale prices, but must not advertise products at a net price that is less than the Minimum Advertised Price established by Swig Life (as defined below) nor sell products to any other person or entity which advertises products at a net price less than the MAP established Swig Life.

The MAP policy applies to all advertisements of MAP products in any and all media, including, but not limited to, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, mail order catalogs, television, radio, and public signage as well as internet sites, social media sites, apps, or any other electronic media. The internet is considered as any other medium for advertising and the same rules and violations that apply to print apply to sellers who use electronic mediums for advertising: and/or price offering or order placement. To remain in compliance with the guidelines all advertised prices should be at or above the MAP listed price prior to placement in the shopping cart or member price.

This Policy is unilateral, non-negotiable and will not be altered for any reseller. By purchasing Swig Life as one of our approved retailers, you agree to the MAP policy and all of its restrictions.

POLICY VIOLATIONS

Swig Life will monitor compliance with this Policy. In the event a reseller chooses not to follow this Policy and Swig Life determines to its reasonable satisfaction that the reseller has engaged in advertising of any products at an advertised price less than the MAP price, or if it determines that product(s) are sold by a reseller to any other person or business entity which engages in advertising of any products at a net price less than the MAP, Swig Life has the exclusive right to determine what steps to take and may, in its sole discretion and without any liability under any existing MAP agreements, suspend the supply of any products for which the reseller's advertisement does not comply with this Policy to the reseller. In the event of a subsequent violation of this Policy by the reseller, Swig Life may suspend the supply of all products to the reseller. The level of sanctions will be determined by Swig Life in its sole discretion and may include indefinite termination of the business relationship with the violator.

COMPANY EXCLUSION

In such event, Swig Life in its sole and absolute discretion, may change or suspend the MAP retail price with respect to its own products for a specified period of time by providing advance notice to all Retailers of such changes. Swig Life may revoke any such modification or suspension of MAP retail pricing at any time, at Swig Life sole and absolute discretion.

CUSTOMIZED SWIGS
What is laser etching?

Laser etching is a process that creates designs on products by removing the surface layer. To produce the design, the laser beam delivers a high amount of energy to a small area. As a result, the surface material, such as paint or powder coating, is removed, revealing the stainless steel of the cup underneath. The resulting design will therefore always be silver in color.

What's the minimum?

New customers are required to meet our $500 opening order amount. All sizes must be ordered in a minimum of 24+ pieces.

How soon can we get them?

All orders take between 10-15 business days to complete once the approval and billing process is finished. Once the order is complete you will receive a tracking number to let you know that it has shipped.

What type of artwork should I submit?

In order to produce a print-ready image, artwork must be sent as vector files (i.e. AI, EPS, SVG) at 300dpi with all fonts converted to outlines, curves, or paths. The customer is responsible for ensuring accuracy, including but not limited to correct artwork, spelling, sizes, and placement. Once we receive an order with artwork, we will email a digital proof and quote within 1-2 business days (times may vary during peak season).

Can I have my logo printed?

If you have a special request for a large customized order with color ink printing instead of laser etching, please email swigswag@swiglife.com.

Can a cup be etched on both sides and how is that priced?

Yes, we can etch a logo on both sides for an additional $4.00 per cup.

When am I charged for my order

You will be charged after they approve the digital proof, and before production is started.

How are Swigs packaged?

They're packaged in inners boxes of 3. Each Swig will have a hang tag attached to the lid and an informational insert included.
