RPM Agreement

RPM Agreement
Resale Price Maintenance (RPM) Agreement
USA
An agreement between a supplier and its distributors that limits the prices the distributors can charge customers for the supplier's products. Types of RPM agreements include a:
• Minimum RPM agreement, in which a distributor agrees not to sell the product for less than a set minimum price (known as a "price floor").
• Maximum RPM agreement, in which a distributor agrees not to sell the product for more than a set maximum price (known as a "price ceiling").
Both minimum RPM agreements and, to a lesser extent, maximum RPM agreements may in certain circumstances violate federal or state antitrust laws.
