calculated to be understood as the minimum price which may be charged on the resale of replica
football kit in the United Kingdom; or
1.4 withhold supplies of replica football kit from a dealer seeking to obtain them for resale in the

either directly or indirectly, to a third party who had done so; or

given that, in doing so, you are notifying a minimum price.
3. You may, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, withhold supplies from a dealer, or cause or procure a
supplier to do so, if it has reasonable cause to believe that within the previous 12 months the dealer,
or any other dealer to whom the dealer supplies goods has been using as a loss-leader any replica
football kit whether or not obtained from the Club.
* In this paragraph 1.4.1 “resale price” in relation to a sale of any description means any price notified to the dealer or

a sale of that description, or any price prescribed or purporting to be prescribed for that purpose by a contract or
agreement between the dealer and you.
