AUSTRALIAN GROUP BUYING CODE OF CONDUCT

AIMIA and ADMA are delighted to annouce the release of the Australian Group Buying Code of Conduct on 2 November, 2011.

As the group buying industry grows into an established channel, ADMA and AIMIA and the industry have recognised the importance of developing a code of conduct specific to the group buying experience.

The Australian Group Buying Code of Conduct has been developed on a voluntary basis to:

a) ensure that consumers have access to products and service information they need to make informed choices
b) promote compliance within the industry with relevant laws including Competition and Consumer Act 2010, Privacy Act 1988 including the National Privacy Principles and the Spam Act 2003
c) promote fair, honest, ethical best practice within the group buying industry
d) increase consumer confidence in dealing with group buying platforms.

The Australian Group Buying Code of Conduct also includes an independent, transparent and open complaint-handling process as well as outlining best practices for group buying platforms.
