Industry colleagues and consumers who would like to provide feedback on proposed amendments to the New Energy Tech Consumer Code can do so by 5pm on 26 September.
Only two weeks remain for you to provide feedback on proposed amendments to the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC). Don’t miss your opportunity to contribute. We are proposing minor administrative changes to the Code that make requirements clearer for retailers and consumers. Amendments being proposed are based on queries raised by Signatories in the regular application of the Code’s requirements. • Overall commitments: Broadening the scope of existing advertising commitments to incorporate all claims and statements by providers. • Clarifying information provided to customers: Providing clearer information in clauses that have been flagged as unclear or difficult to apply. • Refund and contract termination: Create consistency across the Code regarding the way refunds and contract termination are explained. • Documenting variations: Requiring suppliers to document variations prior to installation. • Types of provision or supply: Clarifying that the terms ‘provider’ and ‘supplier’ refer to a broad range of services and products. • Responsibility for costs: Providing more specific information about the requirements in relation to strata title buildings. • Terms and conditions for Signatories: Providing additional information to improve clarity on Signatory eligibility and compliance. • New and amended definitions: Providing further clarity on terms such as ‘performance’ and ‘supplier’. Find out more about the changes and share your feedback here https://lnkd.in/gJKeUxxq
