Cap. 592 Art. 9Principles relating to registration. Innovative technology services.

(1) The Authority may accept to register persons providing different innovative technology services as shall be stated in the registration. The registration for the provision of one type of service shall not bar the registration of the same person to provide other types of services.

(2) The Authority shall from time to time establish guidelines on the purposes for which it will register innovative technology service providers and in so doing shall also establish the requirements for the particular registrations. It shall also establish other aspects such as the review processes and the timing of such reviews for the purposes of maintaining in place any registrations it may accept.

(3) The Authority may designate and make public any international or other standards of service it may rely on when considering a registration of services providers under this Act.

(4) The Authority may amend the guidelines referred to above from time to time including to enhance the qualitative aspects or purposes of its reviews but such amendments shall not come into force prior to the lapse of at least six (6) months after the publication of such amendments and, in any case, shall only apply from the next review due under the relative guidelines immediately after the lapse of the said six (6) months. ARRANGEMENTS AND SERVICES

(6) The registered service provider shall post the Certificate of Registration on its website, if it has one, as well as on any innovative technology arrangement to which it renders its services and this shall be posted thereon in an easily accessible and legible format so it can be viewed and understood by all users of the innovative technology arrangement.

(a) personally;

(b) through the resources of the organisation;
