1. Eligibility

To apply to the Finiki Distributor Program ("Program") your business must:

  • Be a legally registered business in Hong Kong SAR with a valid Business Registration Certificate;
  • Operate in a relevant channel: pet retail store, veterinary clinic, grooming salon, pet hotel or daycare, or a Hong Kong-based online pet retailer;
  • Have a physical business address or verified online presence in Hong Kong;
  • Be able to store dry pet food in conditions compliant with manufacturer guidance (cool, dry, out of direct sunlight);
  • Operate in a manner consistent with Finiki's brand values — no sale of counterfeit goods, no exploitative practices, no content or messaging promoting animal distress.

Finiki reserves the right to decline any applicant at its sole discretion without being required to give reasons.

2. Application & approval

Each submission is reviewed by Finiki's team. We aim to respond within 2 business days via WhatsApp or email. Approval involves: (a) initial eligibility check, (b) an onboarding call or message exchange to align on fit, volume, and terms, and (c) countersigning a short Partnership Agreement that incorporates these Terms.

Tier assignment is determined by Finiki based on channel type, number of locations, estimated monthly volume, and brand fit. Tier may be adjusted at any subsequent ordering cycle based on actual performance.

Finiki may verify business registration, physical premises, or online presence before approval.

3. Tiers & commercial terms

Finiki offers three distributor tiers: Starter, Preferred, and Flagship. Each tier carries its own minimum order quantity (MOQ), wholesale pricing, payment terms, marketing support entitlement, and re-ordering cadence.

TODO — Commercial terms: Insert specific MOQ (per tier), wholesale margin %, payment terms (e.g., prepaid / Net 14 / Net 30), re-order minimums, and any volume rebates. Do not publish this page externally with placeholders in this section.

Specific commercial terms for your approved tier will be issued in writing as part of your Partnership Agreement. Finiki may update tier structures, wholesale pricing, and MOQs with at least 30 days' prior written notice; existing open POs are honoured at the pricing in force at the time of PO.

4. Orders, payment & delivery

Placing orders

Approved partners place orders via WhatsApp, email, or Finiki's partner ordering channel (as introduced during onboarding). Each order must meet the tier-specific MOQ and include partner reference and preferred delivery date.

Payment

Payment terms are set per tier and confirmed in your Partnership Agreement. Accepted payment methods include FPS, bank transfer, and such other methods as Finiki may specify in writing. Invoices are issued in HKD. Late payments may incur a reasonable administrative charge and suspension of further deliveries until cleared.

Delivery

Finiki delivers within Hong Kong via SF Express or an equivalent courier. Standard lead time is 2–4 business days from confirmed PO, subject to stock availability. Partners must inspect deliveries on receipt and report shortages, damage, or incorrect items within 72 hours.

TODO — Delivery & pricing specifics: Confirm whether delivery is included, charged at cost, or free above a specific order value. Insert the final rule before publishing.

5. Returns, damages & recalls

Partners may return unopened product in original packaging within 14 days of delivery for replacement or credit, subject to inspection by Finiki. Opened product is non-returnable except in cases of product defect or manufacturer recall.

In the event of a product recall, partners agree to cooperate fully with Finiki to identify, quarantine, and return affected stock. Finiki will credit or replace recalled stock at full invoice value and reimburse reasonable documented costs of compliance.

Customer-facing complaints relating to product quality should be directed to Finiki for resolution; partners are asked not to offer refunds or make product-quality representations on Finiki's behalf without prior consultation.

6. Brand & marketing use

Trademarks & imagery

Finiki grants approved partners a non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable licence to use the Finiki name, logo, product imagery, and marketing collateral for the sole purpose of marketing and selling Finiki products in their approved channel. Partners may not modify the logo, create composite marks, or register any domain or social handle incorporating "Finiki" without prior written permission.

Online listings

Partners may list Finiki products on their own website, social media, or approved online marketplaces at or above Finiki's stated recommended retail price ("RRP"). Aggressive discounting below RRP without prior written agreement may be considered a material breach.

Content & samples

Finiki may provide co-branded marketing kits, photography, sampling campaigns, and staff-training materials at no additional cost, subject to tier entitlement. Partners agree to use these materials only during the term of the partnership and to cease use on termination.

7. Exclusivity & territory

Unless explicitly agreed in writing, partnerships under this Program are non-exclusive. Finiki may appoint multiple partners in the same district, channel, or category. Flagship-tier partners may negotiate limited channel or district exclusivity on a case-by-case basis in exchange for minimum volume commitments.

8. Suspension & termination

Either party may terminate the partnership for convenience on 30 days' written notice. Finiki may suspend or terminate immediately for material breach, including: non-payment, resale of product outside approved channels, unauthorised use of Finiki trademarks, materially misleading claims about Finiki products, or conduct that damages Finiki's brand or animal welfare.

On termination: (a) all outstanding invoices become immediately payable; (b) partner will cease use of Finiki marks and collateral; (c) Finiki may, at its option, buy back unsold unopened stock at the original invoice price less a reasonable handling charge.
