成人大片

When it comes to the University鈥檚 dealings with suppliers, retailers and students, the (CCA) lays down the law.

The purpose of the CCA is to protect consumer choice by preventing unfair trade or anti-competitive practices.

is a type of prohibited conduct that involves the supply of a good or service to a customer on condition that the customer purchases other goods or services from a third party.

Let鈥檚 say, for example, that the Sports Association makes a deal with a particular sports store that the store will supply University rugby jumpers at a discount price to students. The Sports Association then makes it a condition of membership that students purchase their rugby jumpers from the particular sports store.

This is third line forcing and the Sports Association could be fined.

Similarly, refusing to allow someone to join the Association until they purchased goods or services from the preferred store would also be third line forcing.

Third line forcing carries significant penalties for both organisations and individuals.

• Organisations can be fined up to $10 million or 10% of annual turnover (whichever is greater).
• Individuals could face penalties of up to $500,000 or 10 years in jail for any one offence under the Act.

It isn鈥檛 enough to say that you were trying to get a good deal for everyone. Ignorance or good intentions won鈥檛 hold up in court!

Being compliant with the CCA means putting consumer choice first:

• You can recommend the product of a third person to a customer or student BUT you can鈥檛 compel them to buy the product as a condition.
• Don鈥檛 refuse to provide a service or product until a customer or student has purchased something else.
• Remember that students, distributors and retailers are free to choose where they make their purchase.

The CCA governs almost every aspect of the 成人大片鈥檚 business. Its鈥� aim is to promote and protect healthy competition. Under the CCA, a wide range of 鈥渁nti-competitive鈥� conduct is prohibited and subject to heavy penalties.
