GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 

We here at Color Cord Company personally review all applications to become an authorized stockist of our products. Our goal is to partner with businesses that have potential to maintain a mutually profitable and growing relationship. We are actively looking for partners willing to be brand ambassadors for Color Cord Company. We prefer our dealers to have a retail brick & mortar (physical location) within the Home Decor and Lighting industry. As there are many forms of retail business, we are willing to be flexible with the type of business if it is a good fit for our brand. The following are requirements for all our dealers: 

• The World Effect, LLC is our parent company doing business as (DBA) Color Cord Company. We reserve the right to open and/or close wholesale accounts at anytime. 

• Our wholesale program is not intended for businesses in the trade, such as Architecture & Interior Design firms, Contractors and Electricians. We have a separate Designer and Trade Program for these customers. 

• All applicants must be an official business with a Federal Tax ID#, actively conducting a retail business. For start-ups, please do not apply until you are ready to provide documents and photos that support your active business status.

Upon account set up, we will contact you for credit card information to attach to your account for the initial order and will be used for reorders as well. This is the fastest method to avoid any shipping delays. Payments can also be made via corporate check (checks must clear before shipments are made).

If the order volume is sufficient (full container), we can investigate direct delivery from our factory. 

•Our international customers are responsible for all taxes, duties and fees associated with importing goods to their respective country.
