Antitrust Warning Regarding Member and Licensee Activities

Since the Tessitura Network is a membership organization that encourages collaboration, idea and best practice sharing among its members, it is important that we do so in an appropriate manner. This notice was prepared by Network counsel and has been distributed to all Tessitura licensees periodically since the company’s inception in 2002.

To: Tessitura Network Members and Tessitura Licensees

The purpose of this notice is to remind all members and licensees that your use of all Tessitura Network membership services is conditioned upon your agreement to use such services in a manner that complies with the law. This notice should not be considered an indication of any concern on the part of Tessitura Network, Inc. that there has been a violation of the antitrust laws. Rather, members and licensees are reminded that such services shall not be utilized in any manner that violates federal or state antitrust laws or other laws prohibiting anticompetitive practices. Tessitura Network, Inc. is committed to full and unequivocal compliance with the antitrust laws. It will not risk impairment of the functions it performs by any member's misuse of services in a manner which might violate the laws.

The antitrust laws generally prohibit any agreement or understanding inconsistent with the right and obligation of competitors to exercise independent business judgment in pricing their products or services, dealing with their customers and suppliers, and selecting the markets in which to compete. To the extent that certain Members are competitors, when they meet or work together there may be opportunities to reach unlawful agreements. It would be wrong, however, to conclude that all members’ discussions and activities carry antitrust risks. To the contrary, when such activities are conducted appropriately they play a valuable role in promoting free and open competition and present very few antitrust problems.

It is not possible to provide a complete list of antitrust rules that would cover every situation that the Members may encounter. Members should bear in mind, however, that the antitrust laws are concerned not with preventing meetings and discussions, but with agreements that unreasonably restrict competition. No express agreement or understanding amongst competitors is required; one can be inferred from statements and/or conduct. Accordingly, Members that offer or could potentially offer competing products in the same geographic area, should not exchange, discuss with each other, or solicit from each other the following: current or future prices or components thereof, including fees, discounts, credit terms, or other conditions of sale; limitations on sales to any geographic area; allocating customers or territories amongst competing members; or price lists or procedures for coordinating price changes. In addition, Members should not discuss rejection or termination of customers or suppliers, other than discussion about the pros and cons and experiences about suppliers that would be typical in the course of normal due diligence discussions about supplier merits and capabilities in the course of typical supplier selection or changes in the normal course of business. Blanket communications encouraging supplier changes among the community are prohibited. If you have any questions about appropriate communications, please consult with your legal counsel.

If there are any questions, please contact me directly or consult your counsel. Thank you for respecting the requirements in this area.

Respectfully, 
Jack
