The Act prohibits and voids restrictive agreements between business entities. The description of restrictive arrangements which are likely to prevent, restrict or distort trade is very wide-ranging and includes prohibition of minimum resale prices (even for patented goods), direct or indirect price-fixing, collusive tendering, withholding supply of goods and services from a dealer, exclusionary contractual provisions, etc.
However, some of the prohibited arrangements may be approved by the Commission, if the Commission is satisfied that they are fair and do not eliminate competition.
