As used in this subchapter: (1) 'Person' includes an individual, corporation, trust, estate, partnership, unincorporated association, or any other legal or commercial entity. (2) 'Pyramid or chain distribution scheme' means a sales device whereby a person, upon a condition that the person part with money, property or any other thing of value, is granted a franchise license, distributorship or other right which person may further perpetuate the pyramid or chain of persons who are granted such franchise, license, distributorship or right upon such condition. A limitation as to the number of persons who may participate, or the presence of additional conditions upon the eligibility for such a franchise, license, distributorship or other right recruit or upon the receipt of profits therefrom, does not change the identity of the scheme as a pyramid or chain distribution scheme.6 Del.
