BEX Trade Program Agreement
BEX PRODUCTS, INC.
TRADE PROGRAM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS — 2026
1. Appointment & Eligibility
Subject to approval by Company, Studio is enrolled in the BEX Trade Program on a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable basis. The signer represents that all information provided is accurate, that they are authorized to bind the named Studio, and that the Studio is actively engaged in the professional design, specification, or construction trades.
Approval is granted at Company's sole discretion. Company may approve, deny, suspend, or revoke Trade status at any time, with or without cause.
2. Pricing & Use
Trade pricing is extended to the approved Studio for bona-fide project specifications only. The following activities may result in immediate suspension:
- Reselling BEX products to unauthorized third parties
- Listing BEX products on retail marketplaces or discount channels
- Using Trade pricing for non-project personal purchases
- Transferring or sharing Trade pricing with entities outside the approved Studio
3. Confidentiality
Pricing multipliers, tier thresholds, rebate structures, and any program mechanics disclosed to the Studio are confidential between BEX and the Studio. Net pricing may be shared with the Studio's end client as part of normal project invoicing; discount percentages and program tiers may not.
4. Track Election
The Studio elects one of two parallel tracks at enrollment, and again at the start of each program year. Both tracks share the same five-tier TTM (trailing twelve months) ladder and the same quarterly review cadence.
Option A — Free Freight. BEX absorbs freight within the discount. No freight is billed on qualifying orders. Tier discounts run 30.0% / 32.5% / 35.0% / 37.5% / 40.0% across the Trade, Professional, Preferred, Premier, and Enterprise tiers.
Option B — Customer Pays Freight. BEX does not absorb or mark up freight; the Studio pays its own carriers at actual cost on its own account. Tier discounts run 37.5% / 40.0% / 42.5% / 45.0% / 47.5% — exactly 7.5 points above Option A at every tier.
Track elections may be changed only at each calendar-year renewal. Mid-year changes are reviewed case-by-case and are not guaranteed.
5. Tier Placement & Review
Tier placement is determined by the Studio's trailing-twelve-months shipped volume ("TTM Shipped"), reviewed quarterly:
- Trade — less than $25,000 TTM
- Professional — $25,000 to $49,999 TTM
- Preferred — $50,000 to $74,999 TTM
- Premier — $75,000 to $99,999 TTM
- Enterprise — $100,000 or more TTM
Studios that do not meet tier qualification for two consecutive review periods may be placed at the next lower tier. No account in good standing is removed from the program without a dedicated conversation with the signer.
6. Payment Terms
Payment terms are COD (cash on delivery) at enrollment, with Net 30 considered after three successfully paid projects or upon credit-application approval. Program pricing applies to merchandise only; sales tax, installation, and site-specific accessorial charges are separate.
Company may require prepayment, impose credit limits, or revoke credit terms at its discretion. Past-due balances may result in order holds or suspension from the program.
7. Freight Mechanics
Under Option A, BEX selects the carrier and absorbs the cost within the discount. Under Option B, the Studio is responsible for freight logistics and charges at actual cost; BEX does not mark up freight, route shipments on the Studio's carriers, or absorb damage-in-transit claims against the Studio's carrier account.
8. Term & Renewal
This program runs on a calendar-year basis. Track elections are confirmed at each calendar-year renewal. BEX reserves the right to update program mechanics, tier thresholds, or discount ladders with 30 days' written notice.
9. Termination
Company may terminate Studio's participation at any time, with or without cause. Immediate termination may occur for breach of these Terms, misuse of Trade pricing, breach of confidentiality, or failure to maintain eligibility as a bona-fide trade professional.
10. Independent Contractor Status
Studio is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an agency, partnership, franchise, or joint venture. Studio has no authority to bind Company or make representations on Company's behalf.
11. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Exclusive venue shall lie in California state or federal courts.
12. Entire Agreement; Modifications
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement regarding Studio participation in the BEX Trade Program. Company may modify this Agreement at any time; continued participation after modification constitutes acceptance.
