Subject: Third line forcing notification N99890 lodged by TLS Hervey Bay Pty Ltd trading as Hervey Bay Telstra Store [DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]

Security Classification: For Official Use Only

Dear Ms Coops

I refer to the third line forcing notification lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) by TLS Hervey Bay Pty Ltd trading as Hervey Bay Telstra Store on 7 September 2017.  It has been allocated the registration number N99890.  The notification and this email will be placed on the ACCC’s public register which is available on the ACCC’s website.

The protection from legal action provided by the notification commences automatically 14 days after the lodgement date, unless the ACCC objects.

On the basis of the information that you have provided, and that the parties will disclose all relevant terms and conditions to customers, the ACCC does not object to the notification at this time.

If at any time circumstances change, or the ACCC receives further information, such that it is satisfied that the public benefits from the third line forcing conduct do not outweigh the public detriments, the ACCC may remove the protection provided by the notification.

Please contact Ms Jaime Martin on (03) 9290 1477 or by email to adjudication@accc.gov.au if you have any questions about this matter.

Regards
