SCHEDULE 2: STORES & PRODUCTS
1. STORES
1.1 In order to maintain the "PHILOSOPHIA BOTANICA" brand image, the Customer undertakes not to commercialise the Products other than in points-of-sale meeting the criteria for quality and employing competent personnel.
1.2 The trade name of the point of sale or of the Stores, or of the space in which the point of sale or the beauty department is located, must always reflect the premium nature of the Philosophia Botanica brand. Consequently, the shop sign must be compatible with the principles that govern the distribution of the Philosophia Botanica Products, which are premium and high quality products. Thus, the Philosophia Botanica brand shall not be sold by retail outlets under trade names whose image is associated with an absence of or limited customer service, prestige or sophisticated in-store design. No signage at the point of sale may include terms or logos that might damage the image of the Philosophia Botanica brand or the Products.
1.3 In order to become an approved Philosophia Botanica retailer (hereinafter referred to as the "Customer") within the selective distribution network, a retailer shall meet the standards of performance as detailed below (hereinafter referred to as the "Selection Criteria").
1.4 The Customer undertakes that the Point Of Sale and the sales staff satisfy the Selection Criteria:
1.4.1 Fittings and Management of the Point Of Sale.
1.4.2 The sales area of the Point Of Sale shall always permit the presentation of the Philosophia Botanica products in a sufficient area. For the avoidance of doubt, “double backing”, where some products are obscured by other products on a shelf, is not permitted.
1.4.3 Short dated and expired stock must be removed from sale.
1.4.4 The Customer shall display the Products appropriately. The counters, posters and other POS material, which shall be supplied to it, shall be well positioned.
1.4.5 The Customer shall affix prominently on the window of the Store or display inside the Point Of Sale, a sign or sticker, which shall be furnished by the Supplier confirming its quality as an approved retailer for Philosophia Botanica products.
1.5 All items bearing any trademark owned by Philosophia Botanica used by the Customer on its shop front (such as awning, sign, etc.), in the shop window or inside the Point Of Sale shall be exclusively those supplied by the Supplier or exceptionally those which have received the prior and express written approval of the Supplier.
1.6 It is the Customer’s obligation to arrange training with the Supplier for the staff of its Stores.
1.7 The Customer shall be free to fix its resale prices according to the laws and regulations in force from time to time. The recommended prices that may be communicated to the Customer are only indicative (save to the extent it is permitted by law or regulation in respect of sales of the Products in any country or region outside the EEA and Switzerland to specify either maximum or minimum prices for the Products).
2. ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES OF THE CUSTOMER
2.1 Should the Customer wish to carry out advertising and promotional activities of any sort itself, it shall obtain the prior written approval of the Supplier on the content and means of such activities with the exception of price.
2.2 In any event, the Customer shall in such advertising and promotional activities:
2.2.1 Use exclusively the visual designs, lettering, emblems and logos approved by the Supplier;
2.2.2 Ensure that the standing and image of the Philosophia Botanica trademarks are protected.
3. WEB SITES, MAIL ORDER & INTERNET
3.1 The Customer shall not sell Philosophia Botanica products by mail order or by Internet, unless the Customer has received a prior written authorisation from the Supplier confirming that the objective selection criteria set up for this kind of sale are satisfied, which authorisation shall normally be given in the Customer Information Form.
3.2 The web site or the Mail Order catalogues on which the Philosophia Botanica products shall be advertised and/or sold shall be submitted to the Supplier for written approval. Such approval shall be granted if the following conditions are met:
3.2.1 The name, the environment, the presentation and the general standing of the web site or the Mail Order catalogues as well as the way it functions shall be compatible with the Philosophia Botanica trademarks image.
3.2.2 The web site or the Mail Order catalogues shall offer to consumers a high-quality service for the Products.
3.2.3 Product presentation: Any images of the Products must be unambiguous and meet the high standards of the Philosophia Botanica brand.

3.2.5 The manner in which the Products and the Licensed Trademarks are presented on the web site or in the Mail Order catalogues in connection with the advertising and/or the sale of the Philosophia Botanica range shall be submitted to the Supplier for written approval. The web site or mail order catalogue may not include or use any of the Licensed Trademarks in the workings (as they exist as of this day or in the future) of the web, and in particular no Licensed Trademark may be included or used in a domain name, an URL address or an e-mail address.
3.2.6 Where the Customer's website is hosted by a third-party platform, the Supplier requires that customers do not visit the Customer's website through a site carrying the name or logo of the third party platform. For the avoidance of doubt, this restriction prohibits the Customer from selling the Products from eBay, Amazon, Etsy, and voucher sites such as Groupon.
3.2.7 The Customer agrees to maintain a minimum stock level of three units per SKU carried at all times in order to ensure the Products are available to purchase without delay. This requirement is waived if the supply of Products is delayed due to stock availability or shipping issues that are not the responsibility of the Customer. For the avoidance of doubt this prohibits the Customer from employing drop ship methods of distribution whether or not supplied by the Supplier, authorized and unauthorized distributors and wholesalers.
