- Slick Dancewear’s wholesale ordering section on its website; or
- such other written ordering method as Slick Dancewear may permit from time to time, including email order forms.

3.2 For the purposes of these Wholesale Terms and Conditions, defective goods are limited to manufacturing faults present at the time of dispatch. Defects do not include normal wear and tear, damage caused by improper fitting, misuse, alteration, incorrect storage, or failure to follow product care instructions.

- Minimum Advertised Pricing and Authorised Price Adjustments

For the avoidance of doubt, recommended retail pricing is provided as guidance only and does not require wholesale customers to sell products at or above any specified price.
4.4 Where Slick Dancewear authorises a sale or promotional period (including seasonal or event-based promotions such as Black Friday), such authorisation applies only for the agreed period specified in writing. Upon expiry of the approved period, publicly advertised pricing must revert to the applicable minimum advertised pricing then in effect.
4.5 All pricing updates and authorised promotions apply from the effective date specified and supersede any prior pricing or promotional guidance.
4.6 Minimum advertised pricing applies to publicly advertised prices only and does not restrict lawful in-store, point-of-sale, or privately offered pricing where such pricing is not publicly advertised.
4.7 Pricing, advertising, discounting, and promotional obligations under this section must be read together and applied consistently across this agreement.
