Spray Pave has acknowledged that it is likely to have breached the Trade Practices Act in:
advertising on various franchising websites, and representing that it is a franchise when Spray Pave is not a franchise;
representing on its own sites that it is an international business with offices operating in Africa, America, Canada and India, when it does not have offices in these countries; and
making statements on a franchising website that no qualifications are necessary to operate a Spray Pave business when a builder's licence is required in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland to conduct spray paving work.
Spray Pave Australia has provided court enforceable undertakings to the ACCC that it will not, for a period of three years make any of the representations above unless the representation is correct and can be substantiated, that it will place corrective notices on the various websites and that it will implement a trade practices compliance program.
