30O: Matters to be included in standard terms determination: general

You could also call this:

"What's included in the rules for accessing telecommunications services"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When a standard terms determination is made, it must include some important details. You need to know what terms will allow the access service to be made available without needing an agreement with the access provider. The determination must also state how long it will take for the service to be available to people who already have access and those who will get access later.

The determination must specify the terms and conditions, if there are any, and what actions parties must take or not take. You should be aware that a standard terms determination can also include terms about resolving disputes, what happens if someone breaches the determination, and suspension or termination of the service.

A standard terms determination is a part of the Telecommunications Act 2001, which you can find more information about on the New Zealand legislation website.
