Authorisation and power of attorney

Full authorisation

• Full authorisation means that the customer authorises another person or company to act on their behalf with Caruna in all matters concerning the customer relationship. Full authorisation also entitles the party to sign agreements on the customer's behalf.

Caruna+ authorisation

• Caruna+ authorisation means that the customer authorises another person or company to act as their representative in the Caruna+ service. The authorisation does not entitle the person to interact with Caruna in any other way. If you are a private customer, you can grant representation rights to a selected person on Caruna+. If you are a corporate customer, you can create a Caruna+ account for yourself and add the users who can represent your company. To do this, you must be entitled to sign on behalf of the company or be the company's designated administrator.
• In the self-service channel, the representative or user added to the corporate account may make the changes allowed on Caruna+, including altering the due dates of invoices or editing the customer's contact details.

Limited authorisation

• You can limit the authorisation you grant depending on your needs. For example, you may limit it to certain agreements, connections or metering points. Make sure you describe the limitation as accurately as possible in your power of attorney. For example, you can authorise an electrical contractor or consultant to obtain consumption data for your chosen points or time periods.

A power of attorney is valid for up to two years unless you specifically limit the validity to a shorter period.

Caruna's power of attorney template contains the details that should be provided to ensure efficient service. You can also use your own template, as long as it contains the following information:

What the power of attorney authorises the party to do

State the actions you are authorising the party to take in as much detail as possible. A power of attorney can be used to authorise someone to handle an entire customer relationship, or you can limit it so that it only applies to certain metering points of specific information about the customer relationship, such as invoices or consumption data.
