Isn't that exactly what the Agency agreement is, a requirement that the price is fixed by the publisher and not lowered by the retailer? |
Yes. Like I said, the discount may go away because the retailer chooses to stop offering it, or because the producer of the products the retailer sales makes it impossible to offer it. |
So you were completely wrong in your original quote, where you said that the retailer
could still offer a discount?
