Rule 185-16.45 - Tie-in sales

An industry member is prohibited from requiring a retailer to purchase one product in order to purchase another. This prohibition includes combination sales if one or more products may be purchased only in combination with other products and not individually. However, an industry member is not prohibited from selling at a special combination price, two or more kinds or brands of products to a retailer, provided that the retailer has the option of purchasing either product at the usual price, and the retailer is not required to purchase any product not wanted by the retailer.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 123.45 and 123.186.
