Non-price exclusion

Contents

Place in the Framework

Non-price exclusion covers conduct that impairs rivals through means other than below-cost pricing, such as access restrictions, product design, contracts, or strategic interference.

Core Questions

  • What makes the conduct exclusionary rather than aggressive competition?
  • Did the conduct impair rivals' ability to compete on the merits?
  • Are there legitimate business justifications or less restrictive alternatives?
