AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MULTILEVEL DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES.

This Act defines a multilevel distribution company and multilevel marketing program for purposes of this Subchapter. It sets forth mandatory disclosures that must be made by a multilevel distribution company to any potential purchaser that discloses details about the company, sometimes based on certain representations that the company makes. It sets forth that a multilevel distribution company may not require a participant in its marketing program to buy a good or service or pay any other consideration to participate in the marketing program unless it agrees to repurchase the goods, under certain conditions. It permits a civil penalty to be imposed for violations of the required disclosures. It provides a private right of action for violation of the repurchase requirement, including treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs to be awarded for a prevailing plaintiff.
