Regulation 27 Duty to display information about the Scheme
A scheme supplier must provide or display, or provide for display, the scheme information, in accordance with this regulation.
A scheme supplier who offers to supply deposit items or connected goods or services orally (for example, by telephone) must—
provide the scheme information to a person who orders deposit items or connected goods or services, before taking payment for those items, goods or services, and
if requested, provide the scheme information in writing to that person.
A scheme supplier who displays, or offers, deposit items for supply at any premises must display the scheme information on those premises—
so it is available to people choosing deposit items, and
to comply with paragraph (7).
But paragraph (3) does not apply—
to any on-sale premises which are opted-out premises, or
in respect of any deposit items which are displayed, or offered, for supply for immediate consumption on that part of mixed retail premises which are opted-out premises.
A scheme supplier who offers deposit items for supply on a website, through a mobile application or in any kind of publication must—
ensure that the scheme information is displayed as part of the description of the deposit items, and complies with paragraph (7), or
where the scheme supplier is not responsible for the website, mobile application or publication, provide the person with such responsibility with the scheme information, for display as part of the description of the deposit items on the website, in the mobile application or in the publication.
A scheme supplier who provides the scheme information under paragraph (5)(b) must ask the person to whom they provide that information to display it so that it complies with paragraph (7).
The scheme information must be displayed clearly and accessibly.
In these Regulations “scheme information” means—
a statement that the scheme supplier is required by the Scheme to charge a deposit for each deposit item that the supplier supplies,
subject to paragraph (9), for each deposit item that the scheme supplier displays or offers for supply—
the amount payable for the deposit item excluding the deposit,
the amount of the deposit, and
the amount payable for the deposit item including the deposit, and
where the scheme supplier is a scheme retailer, a statement as to how to obtain a refund in relation to a deposit item.
A scheme retailer need not duplicate in the scheme information any amount which the retailer is required to indicate under article 4 or 5 of the Price Marking Order 2004f1 (obligation to indicate selling price and unit price).
