Can I offer discounts or promotions without violating pricing laws in Georgia? What are the requirements?

To offer discounts or promotions without violating pricing laws in Georgia, you must ensure that the discounts or promotions do not violate the substantive provisions of the law. According to GACO 10-1-233, it is unlawful for any gasoline distributor to engage in any acts which have the purpose, intent, or effect of fixing or maintaining prices or of forcing or inducing adherence to prices at which such gasoline distributor’s products are to be resold by such gasoline dealers. However, nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prohibit recommendation, suggestion, urging, or discussion.

Additionally, any price changes must be made in good faith in response to changing conditions affecting the market for or the marketability of the product of the grade and quality concerned, such as, but not limited to, imperfect or damaged product, obsolescence of product, distress sales under court process, or sales in good faith in discontinuance of business at a particular location or with respect to the product itself.

Therefore, you can offer discounts or promotions as long as they are not intended to fix or maintain prices or force adherence to prices and are made in good faith in response to changing market conditions.

Please note that this response is based on the context documents provided and may not be applicable to other situations.
