Adhere to Competition Laws For the info of each team in this chapter

conversation immediately, and seek guidance from
the Legal Department.
Be particularly careful when attending industry
conferences or trade shows to avoid even the
appearance that your business decisions reflect
an improper influence or involve unfair business
practices. If you find yourself involved in a
conversation that turns to the sharing of business
practices, even remotely, you should terminate
the conversation.
Any personnel found to have violated BlackBerry’s
antitrust policies will be subject to discipline, up to
and including termination of employment. If you
suspect that anyone at the company is violating the
competition laws, notify the Legal Department or
the Integrity & Compliance Oce immediately.
BlackBerry competes vigorously in the marketplace,
but does so honestly, fairly and in accordance with
all applicable competition laws (sometimes called
“antitrust”, “anti-monopoly” or “cartel” laws).
These laws are aimed at prohibiting agreements or
practices that restrict free trading and competition
between businesses.
Certain conduct is absolutely prohibited under these
laws, and could result in your imprisonment, not to
mention severe penalties for BlackBerry. To comply
with these laws, you should not:
• Agree with competitors or exchange
information with competitors regarding prices,
price-related information or any other aspect
of competitive strategy with competitors.
This includes information about promotional
spending or terms, costs, product supply,
marketing, territories or other sensitive
marketing information.
• Agree or discuss with a competitor the allocation
of markets or customers, or not to serve certain
markets, market segments or customers.
• Violate fair bidding practices by engaging in
bid-rigging or other improper or collusive
tendering or procurement practices.
• Conduct yourself in any way that could be
viewed as an attempt to exclude present or
potential competitors or control markets.
You should also not seek to enter into agreements
that unreasonably limit the freedom of a reseller,
customer or supplier to sell a product, service or
technology however it sees fit, including establishing
the resale price of a product or service, or improperly
conditioning the sale of products, technologies or
services on an agreement to buy other or solely
BlackBerry products and services.
Although the principles of these laws are
straightforward, their application to particular
situations can be quite complex. If any BlackBerry
competitor or business partner discusses any of
these topics – even indirectly or casually – stop the
