NATSO's Antitrust Policy

It is the policy of the NATSO and its members to comply strictly with all laws applicable to NATSO's activities. Because NATSO's activities involve cooperative undertakings and meetings among competitors, the Board of Directors emphasizes the ongoing commitment of NATSO and its members to full compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. A statement explaining this policy is to be distributed at all NATSO meetings to remind each member of this commitment and as a general guide for our activities and meetings. 

At NATSO meetings, the following will not be discussed:

1. Current or future prices.
2. What constitutes a "fair profit level."
3. Possible increases or decreases in prices.
4. Standardization or stabilization of prices.
5. Pricing procedures.
6. Cash discounts.
7. Credit terms.
8. Control of sales.
9. Allocation of markets or geographical division of markets.
10. Refusal to deal with a corporation because of its pricing or distribution practices.
11. Whether or not the pricing practices of any industry member are unethical or constitute an unfair trade practice.
