ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´) has accepted a court enforceable undertaking from Golf Imports Pty Ltd (Golf Imports) after Golf Imports admitted it engaged in resale price maintenance in contravention of section 48 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA).

Golf Imports is an importer and wholesaler of an extensive line of golfing products to retailers Australia-wide.

Between approximately April 2022 and July 2025, Golf Imports included clauses in its Online Policy and Supply Agreement, which were published on Golf Imports’ website, that sought to prohibit retailers from advertising their products below a price specified by Golf Imports. Further, these clauses stated that Golf Imports would suspend or terminate the retailer’s ability to advertise or sell any goods supplied by Golf Imports if the retailer did not comply with this pricing restriction. Golf Imports did not take further steps to enforce those clauses after they were published on its website.

To address the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´â€™s concerns, Golf Imports stopped using the documents containing the clauses of concern and updated its Online Policy and Supply Agreement. Golf Imports has also provided the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ with a section 87B undertaking that it will:

• advise retailers that its Online Policy and Supply Agreement have been updated;
• not reintroduce the clauses of concern or otherwise engage in resale price maintenance; and
• establish a competition and consumer law compliance program.

The undertaking will be in effect for 3 years from the commencement date.
