What's changed in the terms and conditions as of 12 February 2024

Clause 10.9 page 18

  • Restructuring of the cancellation options: In the initial text, the options to cancel the Facility were listed as (b) and (c). In the revised text, these have been relabelled as (a) and (b), respectively.
  • Removal of a condition for cancellation: The original text stated that if you cancel the Facility due to a change that adversely affects you, you will not be required to pay early cancellation costs, provided certain conditions are met (such as notifying before the change takes effect and having a non-fixed Facility Interest Rate). The revised text simplifies this by stating that you can cancel the Facility without penalty if you inform them before the change takes effect, specifically during a Fixed Rate Period.
  • Clarification of the context for cancellation: The revised version adds a specific context — "during a Fixed Rate Period" — for when the option to cancel the Facility without penalty is applicable. This detail was not explicitly mentioned in the initial text.
  • Minor Formatting Changes: The formatting of the list of actions you can take to cancel the Facility has been slightly altered for clarity, with the options now clearly marked as (a) and (b).
  • Simplification of Language: The revised text is more straightforward and easier to understand, removing some of the more complex structures of the previous version.
