The METI Declaration of Agency Form in METI is required when a user registers an Omnibus Account or designates a third-party service provider to access METI on its behalf. The Authorization identifies the Principal (the METI account holder) and the Agent (the authorized third party) and defines the limited scope under which the Agent may act within the METI system.
The Authorization is intended to provide clarity and operational transparency for METI, the Principal, and the Agent. It does not transfer ownership or control of data or environmental claims and does not modify the Principal’s underlying METI account terms, except as expressly stated in the Authorization.
Principals: METI account holders who wish to authorize a third-party user or data service provider (Agent) to manage specific activities within their account.
Agents: Third-party users or service providers acting on behalf of a Principal within the METI system.
The form must be completed by both the Principal and the Agent. Either party may submit the completed form in the following cases:
The Principal: When adding a third-party user or data service provider to their METI account.
The Agent: When registering a new Custodian Omnibus account on behalf of a Principal.
Details of the Principal (company or individual account holder).
Details of the Agent (third party authorized to act on the Principal's behalf).
Signatures of both the Principal and the Agent, agreeing to the terms outlined in the form.
Principal Responsibilities Remain: Authorizing an Agent allows the Agent to act on the Principal’s behalf within METI, but does not transfer ownership of data or environmental claims, nor relieve the Principal of its obligations under the METI Terms of Use.
Confidentiality and Proper Use: The Agent may access confidential information within METI solely to perform the authorized activities and is required to protect such information in accordance with the METI Agreements.
Keeping Information Current: The Principal or Agent should notify METI if there are material changes to the information provided in this Authorization, including changes to the authorized Agent or scope of authorization.
