What is the name of your state? Ohio
I own a card shop. I selll that well known line of cards and they even have their own cable channel. Anyway, if this card company forces some retailers to purchase a certain amount of a product but does not force all of their accounts are they breaking any laws.
They force you by threatening to take away a status level well known to the public in which you also receive certain benefits from the card company.
In short, I have to buy a certain amount of a particular product when other retailers across the country do not. And If I do not I will be knocked down a few levels and not be able to purchase other products. Also I will have shorten terms on billing.
Is there some kind of FTC law here that can help me?
Hope this makes sense without mentioning their name. Also these stores are NOT a franchise.
