416.445. The provisions of sections 416.415 to 416.430 do not apply to

advertisements, offers to sell or sales where:



(1) The sales are made in an isolated transaction and not in the usual

course of business;



(2) The merchandise is damaged;



(3) The items are sold upon the final liquidation of any business;



(4) The items are sold for charitable purposes or to unemployment relief

agencies;



(5) The items are sold by an officer acting under the direction of any

court;



(6) The price of the item is made in good faith to meet the equally lower

price of competition, provided however, the person charged with a violation

of this section further affirmatively proves the reduction in price is not

made with the intent or with the effect of unfairly diverting trade from a

competitor, or of otherwise injuring a competitor, or of destroying

competition, or of creating a monopoly, and unless such is affirmatively

shown, the court shall enter its order enjoining the violation as charged.
