(a) The payment, allowance or acceptance of secret rebates, secret refunds or unearned discounts by any person, whether in the form of money or otherwise.
(b) The giving of any milk, cream, dairy products, services or articles of any kind, except to bona fide charities, for the purpose of securing or retaining the fluid milk or fluid cream business of any customer.
(c) The extension to certain customers of special prices or services not made available to all customers who purchase fluid milk, fluid cream or any other dairy products of like quantity under like terms and conditions.
