Consent to Use Photographic Images

Participation in COSTHA meetings and other activities constitutes an agreement by the registrant to the use and distribution of the registrant’s image in photographs which may be used on the website and promotional materials.

Abbreviated Antitrust Policy

COSTHA’s Antitrust Policy is set forth in a formal statement which is available on the Members Only website. If unable to access, contact mail@costha.com for a copy. Each of you is strongly encouraged to read the statement and to consider its implications whenever discussions take place here today. The prohibitions of antitrust law apply to all dialogue as well as the open floor deliberation during consideration of the agenda topics.

It is your personal responsibility, and not just that of COSTHA, to stop all discussion, and if necessary, withdraw from any conversation that appeared to violate the antitrust law. Silence will not insulate anyone from violation; active participation in a prohibited act is not required.

Discussions of prices, profit levels, pricing procedures or policies etc. of your company or another is always forbidden. Similarly, consideration of proposals, which might have the effect of producing an adverse economic impact on some companies must be avoided. These are examples of prohibited conduct. Any action or conversation which could lead to restraining trade or otherwise represent unfair competition would be in violation of legal prohibitions.

This reminder is not intended to stifle spirited and comprehensive discussion of the important items included on our agenda. Rather, it is to ensure that we avoid even unintended actions which could be inferred to be violative of the law.
