Conduct:
Representatives will conduct themselves and their businesses in
a professional and honorable manner that reflects credit upon themselves,
the manufacturer, customer, association, other manufacturers' representatives
and the entire industry.
Contracts:
Representatives will respect and honor the negotiated contracts
of principals represented. They will refrain from deception or misrepresentation
of any price or product, or concealing pertinent facts. They will
give the same service to customers and principals that they expect
from their own organization.
Support:
Representatives will support the efforts of our colleagues, chapters
and international association to set standards for our profession
through example, education and training to promote and protect the
free enterprise system.
Honor:
Whereas it is acceptable and routine for manufacturers' representatives
to advertise and promote their capabilities, a representative should
refrain from soliciting manufacturers with the objective of encouraging
a principal to break a contractual relationship with another representative.
Respect:
A representative shall not directly or indirectly solicit the services
or affiliation of an employee of another representative without
proper notice to the other organization.
Confidentiality:
Representatives will respect the confidentiality entrusted to them
by principals, distributors, customers and fellow representatives.
