1. Refusal to show the goods advertised.

2. Disparagement in any material respect of the advertised goods or services or the terms of sale or lease.

3. Requiring other sales or other undisclosed conditions to be met before selling or leasing the advertised goods or services.

4. Refusal to take orders for the sale or lease of goods or services advertised for delivery within a reasonable time.

5. Showing or demonstrating defective goods for sale or lease which are unusable or impractical for the purposes set forth in the advertisement.

6. Accepting a deposit for the goods or services for sale or lease and subsequently switching the purchase order or lease to higher priced goods or services.
