Code of Conduct

1. All members shall conduct themselves in such a manner and carry on business under any names, styles or titles that shall, in the opinion of the Committee, avoid being prejudicial to the professional status of the industry or to the reputation of the Association.
2. All members shall carry on their business in a diligent, ethical, conscientious and fair manner with proper regard to the relationships between themselves, their location owners, users of their equipment, their staff and their suppliers.
3. All members shall ensure their equipment is clean and presentable, always operating correctly and complies with all applicable Health and Safety regulations.
4. All members shall comply with all relevant government legislation and regulations concerning the purchase, registration and operation of equipment and games including, but not limited to, laws relating to gaming, censorship, copyright and duties and taxes.
5. This article of the Code in no way seeks to discourage free trade or infringe Restrictive Trade Practices Legislation. However, all members should carefully consider the likely consequences to themselves before soliciting business from known clients of any other operator on other than costed factors which offer real competitive benefits. Members should realise that simply to 'buy' business, by paying an increased commission, or offering a gift, favour or gratuity in order to attract business away from another operator may not be in the interests of their own long term business viability, or in the interests of the industry as a whole.
6. All members should carry a minimum of $5,000,000 Public and Product Liability insurance.
7. All members should disclose their membership of the AMOAQ, together with their business name and contact number, on all equipment in operation.
8. All members should secure their interests through an AMOAQ-approved site contract.
9. All members who operate Family Entertainment Centres, and in particular, sites that are close to schools, should ensure that truancy and/or delinquency are firmly discouraged so that adverse publicity in this regard from parents/teachers and surrounding businesses does not lower the image of the industry to the disadvantage of all operators.
