**(a) Price; selection of customers** It shall be unlawful for any person engaged in commerce, in the course of such commerce, either directly or indirectly, to discriminate in price between different purchasers of commodities of like grade and quality, where either or any of the purchases involved in such discrimination are in commerce, where such commodities are sold for use, consumption, or resale within the United States or any Territory thereof or the District of Columbia or any insular possession or other place under the jurisdiction of the United States, and where the effect of such discrimination may be substantially to lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in any line of commerce, or to injure, destroy, or prevent competition with any person who either grants or knowingly receives the benefit of such discrimination, or with customers of either of them: Provided, That nothing herein contained shall prevent differentials which make only due allowance for differences in the cost of manufacture, sale, or delivery resulting from the differing methods or quantities in which such commodities are to such purchasers sold or delivered: Provided, however, That the Federal Trade Commission may, after due investigation and hearing to all interested parties, fix and establish quantity limits, and revise the same as it finds necessary, as to particular commodities or classes of commodities, where it finds that available purchasers in greater quantities are so few as to render differentials on account thereof unjustly discriminatory or promotive of monopoly in any line of commerce; and the foregoing shall then not be construed to permit differentials based on differences in quantities greater than those so fixed and established: And provided further, That nothing her

TITLE 15—COMMERCE AND TRADE
§ 13b
(b) Burden of rebutting prima-facie case of dis-
crimination
Upon proof being made, at any hearing on a
complaint under this section, that there has
been discrimination in price or services or facili-
ties furnished, the burden of rebutting the
prima-facie case thus made by showing justifica-
tion shall be upon the person charged with a vio-
lation of this section, and unless justification
shall be affirmatively shown, the Commission is
authorized to issue an order terminating the dis-
crimination: Provided, however, That nothing
herein contained shall prevent a seller rebutting
the prima-facie case thus made by showing that
his lower price or the furnishing of services or
facilities to any purchaser or purchasers was
made in good faith to meet an equally low price
of a competitor, or the services or facilities fur-
nished by a competitor.
(c) Payment or acceptance of commission, bro-
kerage, or other compensation
It shall be unlawful for any person engaged in
commerce, in the course of such commerce, to
pay or grant, or to receive or accept, anything of
value as a commission, brokerage, or other com-
pensation, or any allowance or discount in lieu
thereof, except for services rendered in connec-
tion with the sale or purchase of goods, wares,
or merchandise, either to the other party to
such transaction or to an agent, representative,
or other intermediary therein where such inter-
mediary is acting in fact for or in behalf, or is
subject to the direct or indirect control, of any
party to such transaction other than the person
by whom such compensation is so granted or
paid.
(d) Payment for services or facilities for proc-
essing or sale
It shall be unlawful for any person engaged in
commerce to pay
