Anti-Trust Compliance Guidelines
EMA's officers, directors, and members should be familiar with these antitrust compliance guidelines, and adhere to the spirit and letter of these guidelines. These guidelines are not a definitive statement of all applicable antitrust laws or their interpretation. Rather, these guidelines state absolute prohibitions and exceed the minimum requirements of the law, as a reflection of EMA's policy.
Packaging, Labeling, and EDI
Various documents and information including PC Game Box and Labeling Standards, RFID information, and EDI documents.
Privacy of Customer Records
This resource describes the requirements and prohibitions of the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988 ("the Act"), and explains how EMA members can comply. Strict adherence to the Act's prohibitions is prudent because the Act gives persons harmed by a violation of its prohibitions the right to seek damages. At the same time, the law prohibits any dealer from being found liable as the result of lawful disclosure permitted by the Act.
The Institute
The Institute is a comprehensive management training program geared specifically for store management teams in video stores. Learn more about the courses available, both on-line and "on-location".
