Becoming a PristineBlue®
Dealer
Type of Business
The business must be a pool and/or spa related enterprise
with a commercial retail storefront.
Local
Saturation
While Earth Science Laboratories, Inc. does not grant
exclusive territories to PristineBlue®
dealers, we try to maintain a reasonable distance between
Authorized PristineBlue®
Dealers. Ultimately, the decision to add a new dealership
lies with the regional manager.
Accordingly, you are required to notify Earth Science
Laboratories, Inc. of any intention to open a branch store
or another retail outlet where you expect to sell products
in the PristineBlue®
line. Earth Science Laboratories, Inc. may decline to
provide products to you that you intend to sell from retail
outlets that may interfere with the markets of an
established dealer. This policy protects you and your market
from outside dealers moving into a customer base and a
territory that you may have already developed.
Additionally, Authorized PristineBlue®
Dealers wishing to sell PristineBlue®
products on the Internet must use the same web domain name
as on the Authorized PristineBlue®
Dealer's storefront.
Minimum Purchase
To become an Authorized PristineBlue®
Dealer, an initial purchase of a Dealer Start-Up Package is
required. Due to price changes and new product availability,
the configuration of the Dealer Start-Up Packages changes
from year to year. Contact our administrative offices at
800-257-9283 for the current Start-Up Packages and pricing.
Training
Authorized Dealers must have on staff, at least one
Certified PristineBlue®
Applicator. Training for Certified Applicator status is
available through Self-Study Courses or on-site seminars.
Because we want our dealers to be informed of current
policies and technical advice, we ask that at least one
representative of your store be a Certified Applicator
trained in the last 12 months.
Terms, Discounts and Reorders
Application for Dealership and Credit
A credit application must be completed and returned even if
the dealer chooses to do business on a C.O.D. or prepay
basis. Credit application must be filled out completely.
Earth Science Laboratories, Inc. bases its credit decisions
on credit history information received from the listed trade
references. If credit is denied, the dealer may wish to
prepay for orders in lieu of orders being shipped C.O.D.
Prepayment can be made with Visa, Mastercard, Discover or
mailing the payment prior to shipment.
Terms
Standard terms are Net 30 with approved credit. Late charges
are assessed at the rate of 1.5% per month and will be added
to past due balances.
Early Buy Terms
Dealers who place “Early Buy” orders of $5,000 or more
before December 31 with delivery the following spring are
allowed special payment terms.
Reorders
All reorders must be in case lots. Orders less than $300
will be subject to a $10 handling fee in addition to regular
shipping charges.
Web Page
As a PristineBlue®
Dealer, your store name, address and phone number will be
listed on the website of PristineBlue®. One can put in a zip code and the nearest PristineBlue®
Dealer will pop up.
