(1) Require a franchisee to purchase or lease goods or services of a franchisor or from approved sources of supply unless and to the extent that the franchisor satisfies the burden of proving that such restrictive purchasing agreements are reasonably necessary for a lawful purpose justified on business grounds, and do not substantially affect competition. This subsection does not apply to the initial inventory of the franchise. A determination of whether such restrictive purchasing agreements are reasonably necessary for a lawful purpose justified on business grounds and do not substantially affect competition shall be guided by the decisions of the courts of the United States in interpreting and applying the antitrust laws of the United States.

(2) Sell, rent or offer to sell or rent to a franchisee any product, service or property at a price not set in good faith as defined in ORS 71.2010 (2)(t).

(3) Require a franchisee to assent to a release, assignment, novation or waiver which would relieve any person from liability imposed by ORS 650.200 to 650.250.

(4) Refuse to renew a franchise without fairly compensating the franchisee for the fair market value at the time of expiration of the franchise of the franchisee’s resalable inventory, supplies, equipment and furnishings purchased from the franchisor, not including personalized materials that have no value to the franchisor and inventory, supplies, equipment and furnishings not reasonably required in the conduct of the franchise business. A franchisor may offset against amounts owed to a franchisee under this subsection any amounts owed by such franchisee to the franchisor.

(5) Impose on a franchisee by contract, rule or regulation, whether written or oral, any standard of conduct unless the person so doing can sustain the burden of proving the standard of conduct to be reasonable. [1987 c.917 §9; 2009 c.181 §107]
