Our goal with Astral Hoops is to help promote health, community, happiness, and innovation by supporting and encouraging hooping, flow arts, play, technology, wonder, and the transformational communities they are a part of. We've adopted the following reseller program to ensure that vendors reselling our products also adhere to the same high standard, morals, and values that we do.
This program is for resellers only. You must have an established flow related retail business to become an Astral Hoops reseller. This can include, but is not limited to, retail stores, dance studios containing a shop, festival vendors, and websites.

Reseller Agreement
Maintaining the Astral Hoops Brand
The Astral Hoops brand must be maintained. The re-branding of Astral Hoops products is not allowed.
Product Knowledge and Descriptions
If posting Astral Hoops products online, the listings should contain complete and accurate product descriptions.
If selling our products in a physical store or at a festival, the sales person should be fully knowledgeable about them. The sales person should be able to explain the different options and help the customer select what will work best for them. The sales person should also be able to demonstrate the use of the product and explain all of its features.
Astral Hoops manuals should always be distributed with a sold product.
Modifications
Astral Hoops products are not to be modified in any way without prior authorization. If you have an idea for a clever modification, let us know!
Allowable Marketplaces
Astral Hoops products are to be sold in the venues you've been specifically authorized to sell them in only. They are never to be sold on third party websites such as eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. Please let us know in advance if you would like to sell our products at a festival. Festivals are a great place to vend Astral Hoops products. However, we already vend at many festivals and we'd like to coordinate with you to avoid overlapping at the same festival.
