The provisions of this Chapter shall not apply to:
(1) Any federally insured financial institution, its subsidiaries, and affiliates or any licensee of the Office of Financial Institutions, its subsidiaries, and affiliates or actions or transactions subject to the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Public Service Commission or other public utility regulatory body, the commissioner of financial institutions, the insurance commissioner, the financial institutions and insurance regulators of other states, or federal banking regulators who possess authority to regulate unfair or deceptive trade practices.
(2) Acts done by the publisher, owner, agent or employee of a newspaper, periodical or radio or television station or other advertising medium in the publication or dissemination of an advertisement when the publisher, owner, agent or employee did not have knowledge of the false, misleading or deceptive character of the advertisement, did not prepare the advertisement and did not have any direct financial interest in the sale or distribution of the advertised product or service.
(3) No seller of any product or service who disseminates any advertisement or promotional material in this state shall be liable under this Chapter if he receives the advertisement or promotional material from a manufacturer, packer, distributor, or other seller from whom he has purchased the product or service unless he refused on the request of the attorney general to provide the name and address of the manufacturer, packer, distributor, or other seller from whom he has purchased the product or service and said seller also agrees to enter into an assurance of voluntary compliance as prescribed by this Chapter from disseminating any such advertisement or promotional material thereafter. This exemption does not in any way limit the right of action any consumer may have under this Chapter.
(4) Any conduct which complies with section 5(a)(1) of the Federal Trade Commission Act [15 U.S.C., 45(a)(1)], as from time to time amended, any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder and any finally adjudicated court decision interpreting the provisions of said Act, rules and regulations.
