13 Distributor Grading
To Determine Distributor Grading and price banding, we will take into account the following factors that we believe are fundamental in supporting Nevilles and the Genware brand.
These Factors are: Turnover (Previous 12 months, previous 6 months run rate), Payment History (Average payment days, credit control feedback), Credit rating (Credit limit given by Credit Agency),Showroom presence (Size of showroom, footfall and display of GenWare products), Ranges taken (% age of Genware ranges taken, support for new product launches), Sales team pre and post-sale (Sales team availability to present brand to prospective client, and to provide after-sale support), Sales team engagement (Nevilles to have access to Distributor Sales teams for sales training).
14 Sales of Knives and Bladed products
It is illegal to sell knives and other similar products to anyone under 18; Nevilles will deliver bladed products to our distributor default address without age verification, with the understanding that the distributor accepts responsibility for the goods to be received by a person over the age of 18.
When delivering a bladed product to a non-default delivery address, Nevilles nominated carrier will ask for age verification where this is necessary. If proof of age cannot be provided on delivery, after 3 attempts the consignment will be returned to Nevilles.
