The MAPP policy does not apply to in-store advertisement or in-store everyday pricing.

Darex may choose to offer special promotions on certain products and adjust the pricing associated with the MAPP policy or suspend the MAPP policy. Customers will receive a minimum 30-day notice for these adjustments.

CUSTOMS: We are required to list the contents of all international packages and the exact total value of your shipment, even if the order is a gift. Any customs, taxes or import duties are your responsibility and are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be. We do not take responsibility for goods confiscated by customs officials or by similar authorities. Contact your local customs office for further information.
