IFPD Code of Ethics
I recognize my obligation as a postcard dealer to the public and to the fellow members of this association and to be worthy of the confidence and respect reposed in me by those with whom I have contact.
Therefore I agree to:

Buy and sell at prices commensurate with a reasonable return on my investment at prevailing market conditions.
Refrain from dealing in stolen and counterfeit material.
Be truthful in my advertising.
Refrain from denigrating my competitors.
Make no false claims to a policy or practice of generally underselling my competitors.
Honor and fulfill my contracts and obligations.
Exchange credit and other information freely with other members where the good of and the welfare of the association is concerned.
