Promotion Scope
Define activity type (tasting, sample give-away, discount), geographic limits, eligible products, and any volume or SKU constraints.
A written promotion agreement reduces regulatory risk, records responsibilities for alcohol handling and age verification, clarifies payment and refund rules, and documents permissions for branding and consumer data use. It creates an audit-ready record that supports compliance with state alcohol laws and electronic signature statutes such as the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96).
Assigning clear signatory roles (marketing lead, venue contact, distributor) reduces delays and ensures enforceable commitments before the promotional period begins.
Define activity type (tasting, sample give-away, discount), geographic limits, eligible products, and any volume or SKU constraints.
State precise start and end dates and times, including any phased or recurring windows and time-zone clarity for cross-state campaigns.
Describe age verification process, residency or consumer eligibility, and any exclusions (employees, minors, prohibited jurisdictions).
List required permits, the party responsible for obtaining them, and the consequence if a permit is denied or revoked.
Allocate responsibility for alcohol service, property damage, and personal injury; specify insurance minimums and indemnity language.
Explain what consumer data will be collected, lawful basis for use, retention period, and notice of rights under state privacy laws.
