Distributor Partnership Terms & Conditions

2. Eligibility

Distributor Partnership is intended for businesses or individuals capable of responsibly selling, promoting, and supporting Hammonds Shoes products in approved channels.

Hammonds may request business registration details, location information, sales channels, references, or other information needed to assess the application.

3. Application Review

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. Hammonds may accept, decline, or request more information before confirming distributor status.

Approved distributors may receive access to distributor pricing, supply coordination, product information, and support based on order volume, location, and business fit.

4. Pricing and Payment

Distributor pricing may vary based on product style, order quantity, stock availability, delivery location, and any written arrangement agreed with Hammonds.

Orders may require full payment, part payment, deposit, or another written payment arrangement before stock is reserved, released, or dispatched.

Distributor quotations are valid only for the period stated on the quotation and may change if order details, availability, or payment timing changes.

5. Orders and Supply

Distributors are responsible for confirming styles, quantities, sizes, delivery details, and any special order requirements before an order is approved.

Hammonds may decline, limit, or delay orders where stock is unavailable, payment is incomplete, order information is unclear, or supply requirements cannot reasonably be met.

Delivery timelines are estimates and may be affected by production, stock levels, logistics, holidays, weather, security issues, or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

6. Resale and Brand Use

Distributors must represent Hammonds Shoes accurately and professionally. Product descriptions, images, prices, and claims must not mislead customers.

Hammonds logos, images, product names, and marketing materials may only be used in approved ways and must not be altered, misrepresented, or used to suggest ownership of the brand.

Distributors may not make product guarantees, warranty promises, or policy claims beyond what Hammonds has communicated in writing.

7. Territory and Channels

Distributor approval does not automatically grant exclusive territory, exclusive online rights, or exclusive customer segments unless Hammonds confirms this in writing.

Hammonds may supply other distributors, schools, retailers, online customers, or institutional buyers in the same or overlapping markets.

8. Hammonds Quality Promise

If, within the first school term after purchase, the shoes develop a manufacturing defect or suffer premature failure under normal school use, Hammonds will repair or replace the affected pair, subject to assessment by our team.

This promise does not cover misuse, accidental damage, improper care, normal wear and tear, unauthorised repairs, incorrect sizing, or shoes that have been outgrown.

9. Returns and Exchanges

Return, exchange, or defect claims must be reported promptly with order details, product images where requested, and a clear description of the issue.

Bulk distributor orders, unsold stock, damaged stock caused by storage or handling, and incorrectly ordered items may not be eligible for return unless Hammonds confirms a fulfilment error or verified manufacturing defect.

10. Prohibited Conduct

Distributors must not sell counterfeit Hammonds products, misrepresent product origin, remove or alter brand labels, misuse customer data, publish misleading claims, or damage the reputation of Hammonds Shoes.

Distributors must not use Hammonds materials for unrelated products or present themselves as an employee, branch, or owner of Hammonds unless expressly authorised in writing.

11. Changes and Termination

Hammonds may update Distributor Partnership terms, pricing, benefits, minimum order requirements, or operational guidelines from time to time.

Hammonds may suspend or end a distributor relationship where there is unpaid balance, misuse of distributor pricing, false information, prohibited conduct, repeated customer complaints, or conduct that may harm the Hammonds brand.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Where a dispute arises, both parties should first attempt to resolve it through good-faith communication.
