(a) It is an unfair
			 or deceptive act or practice for any seller to advertise merchandise using
			 words such as "sale," "now on sale," "reduced," "special," or other language
			 indicating a reduction in price, if the seller
(1) advertises the existence of a reduced
			 price which is not a materially significant reduction from the seller's regular
			 price for the merchandise; or
(2)
			 fails to disclose the period of time during which the advertised price will be
			 effective if the time period is less than four days from the date of the
			 advertisement; or
(3) uses a
			 general headline or lead-in for advertised items indicating price reductions
			 when any of the advertised items are not offered at a reduced price, unless the
			 seller discloses in the advertisement which items are not offered at a reduced
			 price or which items are offered at a reduced price.
Alaska Administrative Code › Title 9 - Law › Chapter 05 - Retail Advertising › 9 AAC 05.030 - Price comparisons

It is an unfair or deceptive act or practice for any seller to
				advertise a price comparison
(1) which
			 is based on any price other than the seller's own regular price, unless the
			 seller discloses the nature and source of the referenced comparison price, such
			 as "manufacturer's list price" or "comparable retail value." If the reference
			 price is not a usual or customary retail price in the trade area, the seller
			 may use the reference price if the seller discloses the location where it is a
			 usual or customary retail price, such as "Seattle price"; or
(2) which is based on the difference between
			 the price of a system, set, or group of items and the price of the items
			 purchased separately, unless the seller in good faith has offered for sale the
			 separate items at the referenced comparison price in the recent, regular course
			 of business or unless the items are customarily sold as separate items;
			 or
(3) which is based on words such
			 as "wholesale," "at cost," "factory price," or similar words unless the price
			 is in fact no greater than normal wholesale cost, including actual freight cost
			 if paid by the seller; or
(4) which
			 is based upon a comparison of price with the price of merchandise materially
			 different in composition, grade or quality, style or design, model, name or
			 brand, kind or variety, or service and performance characteristics, unless the
			 general nature of the differences is disclosed in the advertisement.

			 at a stated price, if the seller
(1) does not
			 have the merchandise readily available at or below the advertised price in
			 quantities normally sufficient to meet a reasonably expected public demand

			 merchandise which may be purchased by an individual consumer, limitations on
			 availability at individual stores in a chain, and limitations as to the length

Alaska Administrative Code › Title 9 - Law › Chapter 05 - Retail Advertising › 9 AAC 05.050 - Advertising reductions on items in a group

Current through May 31, 2024
It is an unfair or deceptive act or practice for any seller to
				advertise price reductions on a group of differently priced items using phrases
				such as "as low as" or "up to 50 percent off" which merely identify the lowest
				reduced price in the group or the highest percentage or amount of price
				reduction in the group, if the lowest price or the highest percentage or amount
				of price reduction is not reasonably representative of a substantial number of
				the varied items in the group. Advertisements are presumed to meet the
				requirements of this section when the seller
(1) discloses in what way the items
			 advertised at the lowest price or the greatest price reduction are not
			 representative of the varied items in the group, such as by stating what
			 portion of the total group of items are at the lowest price or subject to the
			 greatest price reduction; or
(2)
			 discloses both the highest and lowest reductions in prices for the advertised
			 group; or
(3) states accurately
			 that the prices of a group of items are reduced by a uniform amount or
			 percentage, such as "all sofas 30 percent off."

Alaska Administrative Code › Title 9 - Law › Chapter 05 - Retail Advertising › 9 AAC 05.900 - Definitions

Current through May 31, 2024
In this chapter
(1)
			 "advertising" (including the terms "advertisement" and "advertise") includes
			 the attempt directly or indirectly through publication, dissemination,
			 solicitation, endorsement or circulation, display, including solicitation or
			 dissemination by mail, telephone or door-to-door contacts, or in any other way,
			 to induce a person to enter or not enter into an obligation or acquire title or
			 any other interest in any merchandise or to increase the consumption of it or
			 to make a loan;
(2) "disclose"
			 means that the statement, representation, or term is presented clearly and
			 conspicuously in the size, sound, color, or other contrasting manner that an
			 ordinary person would readily observe it considering the circumstances, manner,
			 and mode of presentation;
(3)
			 "merchandise" means goods or services or a combination of goods and
			 services;
(4) "person" includes a
			 corporation, company, partnership, firm, association, institution,
			 organization, business trust, or society, as well as a natural
			 person;
(5) "price comparison"
			 means the comparison in any advertisement of the seller's current price for
			 merchandise with any other price or statement of value for the merchandise or
			 the making of other claims of price reduction or savings with respect to that
			 merchandise in comparison to other merchandise;
(6) "regular price" means the actual, good
			 faith price at which the seller openly and actively offered the merchandise to
			 the public on a regular basis, for a reasonable period of time in the recent,
			 regular course of the seller's business. In determining whether merchandise was
			 openly and actively offered, whether a period of time was reasonable, or
			 whether a price was in good faith, the following factors will be considered:
			 the particular merchandise or industry, the season, the number sold at the
			 higher price, shelf life, and other material factors. If a seller has openly
			 and actively offered a good faith price for the 14 selling days immediately
			 before a price reduction, it will be presumed that the higher price was offered
			 for a reasonable period of time in the recent, regular course of business. A
			 seller may use a shorter period of time to establish a regular price, but the
			 seller will then have the burden of showing that the shorter time was
			 reasonable and that the higher price was a good faith price;
(7) "seller" means any person who offers
			 merchandise for retail sale;
(8)
			 "trade area" means the geographic area where the seller does business as
			 determined by the location of the media in which the advertisement is published
			 and the predominant location of the residences of those customers to whom the
			 advertisements are directed or to whom the seller mails
			 advertisements.
