The DRC Trading Standards are general rules of conduct for members to adhere to. They act as default rules when parties cannot agree on the terms of the sale. If members want to create a contract with their vendors that does not conform with the Trading Standards we will refer to that contract during the dispute resolution process rather than the DRC Trading Standards.
DRC Membership is an important part of our screening for new trading partners. DRC has been a great help, not only in resolving disputes, but also with their educational initiatives and involvement in developing best practices within the industry.
