01.Misrepresentations. Goods or services may be purchased for a specified price, if such is not the case. (3-31-22)02.Reduced Price. Goods or services are being offered for sale at a reduced price, if such is not the case. For example, a firm publishes a catalog or brochure entitled "pre-Christmas sale." Some of the items in the catalog are being offered at a reduced price, but others are not. On the non-sale (discounted) items, the advertisement should disclose that the item is being offered at the everyday price or the sales items should be clearly identified as such. If none of the advertised items are being offered at a reduced price, then it is inappropriate to use a term such as "sale." (3-31-22)03.Hidden Costs. A stated price is for complete or functional goods or services, if, in fact, there are additional hidden costs which must be expended in order to make the goods or services complete or functional. (3-31-22)04.Services. A stated price of goods or services includes certain services, such as delivery, installation, service or adjustments, or includes parts or accessories, if such is not the case. (3-31-22)05.Specific Goods or Services. A stated price applies to all sizes or types of goods or services, if the stated price is in fact applicable only to certain sizes or types of goods or services. (3-31-22)06.Inventory. A stated price reduction applies to an entire inventory or grouping of goods when it only applies to isolated items within the inventory or grouping. (3-31-22)Idaho Admin. Code r. 04.02.01.060
