Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses and their representatives agree to abide by the spirit of the Code at all times.
Businesses must display their accreditation plaque, Code of Conduct certificate and window sticker in prominent view of their customers.
Businesses understand that the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme will monitor service standards annually using random mystery shoppers.
In the event of a complaint made against a business, the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme will evaluate the situation independently before bringing the matter to the attention of the business.
The Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme will not be held liable for any legal action that may arise between the business and their client.
In the event that the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme deems a business has violated the Code of Conduct or Terms & Conditions, they will be automatically disassociated and accreditation fees will be forfeited.
All yearly accreditation plaques, certificates and stickers, including all other promotional material supplied, remain the property of the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme and must be returned to the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme in the event of the business being disassociated.
The disassociated business is prohibited from then making any further reference to the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme in advertisements or promotional literature. Unauthorised use of the Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses logo will result in prosecution.
Accreditation must be renewed 1 month prior to the expiry date each year. Failure to do so will result in dis-association. Accreditation renewal after the expiry date will incur an additional $100 re-establishment fee.
The Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme reserves the right to remain the sole judge on all decisions relating to any infringement of the Code of Conduct or Terms and Conditions.
The Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme reserves the right to add or amend the Code of Conduct or Terms & Conditions at any time with out notice.
The Australian Bridal Service Accredited Businesses Programme requests that all items carrying the logo be displayed in a professional manner.
