COMMISSION / OVERAGE POLICY
Commission
Published Price Sheets
Commissions paid as indicated each individual price sheet.
General Manager’s Office Quotations
Should be requested on all potential orders in excess of PhP150,000.00.

Unless otherwise specified General Manager’s Office quotations are provided at 5% commission. Consult
General Manager’s Office for discounting and/or special pricing to meet specific competitive situations.

All requests for quotations on standard, modified, or custom designed GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL
CORPORATION products, should be directed to the Quotations/Customer Service Department. GOLDEN WING
STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION policy is to quote prices to its manufacturer’s representatives only. Under no
circumstances will GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION quote prices directly to a distributor in a
territory that is assigned to an agent.

Commissions are paid XXX days from the XXX of the month in which the PAYMENT was cleared (checks) or cash/
on-line payment was encoded in the system.

GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION does not pay commissions on the freight charges.

On orders that are quoted or received freight allowed, the actual freight costs are deducted from the net peso
amount of the order prior to calculating the commission due.
Below is an example of a P20,000.00 order received @ 10% commission.
Order total P20,000
Freight Costs Incurred -P500.00
Net Order P19,500

Commission at 10% P1,950
Commission Splits (based on approved commission rate)
For specification : 50%
For securing the order: 25%
For shipment into the agent's territory: 25%

Overage
Overage is defined as:
the difference between our standard 5% commission level price and actual sale
price paid by the customer.
or
the difference between the price (as confirmed on a General Manager’s Office quotation) and the
actual sale price paid by the customer.

On orders with mixed pricing (line items at specially discounted prices along with line items qualifying for
overage) the discounted items will be “normalized” first, then overage calculated.
Normalized means adjusted to a 10% price level (within the total order lot net price) prior to calculation of
overage.

Our normal overage split is:


70% to the Agent
30% to the GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION
The split may be negotiable up to a 90/10 split. Contact General Manager’s Office in advance for quotation.

possible to ensure that our products are well designed, of superior quality, and are received by our customer in
good working order. It is our intention that any problems resulting from defective materials or workmanship be
promptly addressed.

Field Problems
Detailed below are the general procedures and guidelines we ask you to follow in the event a field problem arises due
to defective materials or workmanship. This policy statement is not intended to create a warranty, nor to become a
part of, nor extend the existing GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION customer warranty.
• Acknowledgment of Problem
In order to serve our customers better, the GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION Customer Service
Department should be promptly notified by you of all problems which you or your customers encounter with our
products. GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION, once notified, will acknowledge your comments and
complaints in writing.
• Limits of Responsibility
The correction of any problem resulting from abuse, neglect or misuse of the product after it leaves the General
Manager’s Office is not the responsibility of GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION. GOLDEN WING
STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION also has the right to limit its financial responsibility for warranty repairs to the
furnishing of new parts free of charge, in exchange for parts which have been proven defective.
• Authorization for Warranty Repairs
All warranty repairs made by you, or your customer, must be authorized by GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL
CORPORATION in writing prior to the performance of chargeable work. Contact Customer Service to determine
labor allowances acceptable to GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION prior to any commitment to
proceed.

discovery and reporting of the problem.

Back charges
Back charges require prior approval. Any back charge made without prior approval will be disallowed.
Disallowed back charges may be debited against rep commission statements.
We cannot over emphasize the need to obtain prior approval.

If the problem requires work to be performed in the field, GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION reserves
the right to perform this work with General Manager’s Office personnel, but we do recognize the fact that the
contractor may be required to do any work. In these cases GOLDEN WING STAINLESS STEEL CORPORATION will
advise its acceptable labor rate, and follow with a purchase order and/or written authorization to proceed.
