All marketing shall follow good marketing practice. Emphasis shall be given to whether the marketing offends against general ethical and moral views, and to whether it employs offensive means, as well as whether it follows gender and non-discrimination principles. Unfair commercial practices are prohibited, understood as practices that conflict with good business practice towards consumers and is likely materially to distort the economic behaviour of consumers, causing them to make decisions they would not otherwise have made. Special rules are laid down for children, requiring particular care to be exercised with regard to their impressionability, lack of experience and natural credulity of children. Terms and conditions which are applied or are intended to be applied in the course of trade with consumers may be prohibited if they are deemed to be unfair to consumers and if general considerations call for such a prohibition. In relation to traders, no act shall be performed in the course of trade which conflicts with good business practice among traders. The Consumer Authority and the Market Council shall monitor the traders' commercial practices and contract terms and conditions in accordance with Chapter 7.
