FTG will from time to time research the market for the purpose of evaluating the floor coverings offered and discounts available so that it may update its list of approved merchandise and approved vendors and manufacturers. FTG will be responsible for identifying, negotiating with, and approving all suppliers to the FTG System. However, a member can recommend other suppliers for FTG to consider (at no cost to the member or to the supplier being recommended). FTG formulates its approach for the FTG System by emphasizing value and variety. Although FTG does not maintain any specific product mix, it attempts to maintain a broad range of floor covering products in wide ranges of cost, quality and styles. FTG will negotiate the best vendor prices and discounts available for the FTG System available at the time. Other than the general guidelines set forth below, FTG has no established standards or specifications to disclose to its members or suppliers. There are no approved suppliers in which any of our officers owns an interest.
FTG approves or disapproves suppliers based upon the type of floor covering offered, the negotiated price available from each supplier, the delivery terms and conditions provided by each supplier, and the positive or negative feedback FTG receives from its members.
