Between September and December 2008, TPG Internet Pty Ltd published advertisements for its Unlimited Cap Saver mobile telephone plan (Unlimited Cap Saver Plan) on television, in newspapers, and on billboards on buses, trams, major roads and train stations across Australia (TPG Advertisements).
The ACCC contends that TPG has engaged in false, misleading and deceptive conduct because the TPG Advertisements contained representations to the effect that the Unlimited Cap Saver Plan provides unlimited calls and text for $59.99 with no additional charge and is available for a purchase price of only $59.99 per month, when that is not the case.
TPG admits the TPG Advertisements contained representations about the price and the unlimited nature of the Unlimited Cap Saver Plan that may amount to contraventions of section 52, 53(aa), 53(c) and 53(e) of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
TPG has provided court enforceable undertakings to the ACCC that it will:
not, for a period of 3 years, publish an advertisement for a mobile telephone plan which states that for a specified price there will be unlimited calls and text when certain calls and text are excluded or additional charges will apply for some calls and text without including an appropriately prominent disclaimer to the effect that exceptions, terms and conditions apply;
not contravene sections 52, 53(aa), 53(c) and 53(e) for a period of 3 years;
publish a corrective notice on its website; and
implement a Trade Practices Compliance Program.
