  • The Customer acknowledges the Supplier gives no warranty, representation or other assurance of any kind that any Supply Contract identified, negotiated, recommended, proposed, suggested or otherwise introduced to the Customer by the Supplier is one which offers the lowest rates or charges or the longest fixed price period or is otherwise most favourable for the Customer compared to all or any other Supply Contracts which may be available to the Customer at any time.

• Customer's obligations​​ 

  • The Customer shall:

    • co-operate with the Supplier in all matters relating to the Services;

    • provide the​​ Supplier with such information and materials as the Supplier may reasonably require in order to supply the Services, and ensure that such information is complete and accurate;​​ and

    • without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, the Supplier shall have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Customer remedies the Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to​​ relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations in each case to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays the Supplier's performance of any of its obligations;

    • the Supplier shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from the Supplier's failure or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this clause​​ 4.2; and​​ 

    • the Customer shall reimburse the Supplier on written demand for any costs or losses​​ sustained or incurred by the Supplier arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default.

• Lost Commission

  • If, in respect of a Relevant Supply Contract, there is a Relevant Act which results in the loss to the Supplier, in whole or in part, of its entitlement to receive Commission which, but for the Relevant Act, would have been payable to the Supplier by the relevant utility provider in respect of the Relevant Supply Contract and/or results in the Supplier having to repay Commission already paid in respect of the Relevant Supply Contract (the amount of Commission so lost and/or required to be repaid and any amounts due under clauses​​ 5.10​​ and/or​​ 5.11​​ together being​​ Lost Commission), the Customer shall pay to the Supplier, immediately on written demand by the Supplier made at any time after the Relevant Act, the Lost Commission in full together with any other sums which may then be due under this clause​​ 5​​ provided only that where the Relevant Act is a Utility Provider Event, the amount of Lost Commission which, but for this provision, would be due to the Supplier under this clause shall be reduced by the amount of Commission to which the Supplier is entitled under any new Relevant Supply Agreement entered into after the Utility Provider Event, whether with a supplier of last resort or with any other utility provider.

  • If, in respect of a Relevant Supply Contract, further sums (including Lost Commission) are due or become due under clause​​ 5.1​​ which were not the subject of a previous demand made in accordance with clause​​ 5.1, the Supplier may make a demand for payment of the further sums in accordance with clause​​ 5.1​​ and the Customer shall immediately on such demand pay to the Supplier those further sums.

  • Without prejudice to the Supplier’s right to determine Commission on any other appropriate basis or by reference to any other appropriate evidence and at the Supplier’s sole discretion,​​ where Commission or any part of it under a Relevant Supply Contract is to be determined by reference to the Recipient’s energy consumption (actual or estimated) or a periodic standing charge or a combination of the two, the amount of such energy consumption or periodic standing charge and any related rates by which Commission is to be determined under the Relevant Supply Contract shall be as set out in or derived from the Relevant Supply Contract or any written notification of those items to the Supplier by the relevant utility provider.

  • All amounts payable by the Customer under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable from time to time (VAT). Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by the Supplier to the Customer, the Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the Supplier, pay to the Supplier such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable in respect of the sum payable.​​ 

  • If the Customer fails to make a payment due to​​ the Supplier under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting the Supplier's remedies under clause​​ 7, the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after​​ judgment. Interest under this clause​​ 5.5​​ will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

  • All amounts due under the Contract​​ shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law) save that the Supplier may set off from any sums it owes the Customer under the Contract or otherwise any​​ Lost Commission or other amounts due to the Supplier under clause​​ 5.1​​ or otherwise.

  • The Customer shall immediately notify the Supplier in writing:

    • if the Customer or any member of its Group enters into a Relevant Supply Contract; and

    • if any Relevant Act occurs (other than one listed in the definition of Relevant Act) which results in or will or may result in Lost Commission and/or if any act listed in the definition of Relevant Act occurs;

and, in each case, immediately provide to the​​ Supplier full, complete and accurate details thereof together with full, complete and accurate copies of all relevant emails, correspondence, contracts and other relevant documents.

• • If requested to do so by the Supplier, the Customer shall immediately provide to the Supplier full, complete and accurate:

    • records of the Recipient’s energy consumption and/or those records for each member of its Group;

    • details of any projected energy consumption; and

    • copies of all invoices for the supply of energy and evidence​​ of payment of the same;

in each case under any Relevant Supply Contract and under any other Supply Contract the entry into of which constitutes a Relevant Act in respect of the Relevant Supply Contract.

• • In the event of any dispute as to the amount of Lost​​ Commission, a certificate as to the amount of Lost Commission and any other sums due under clause​​ 5.1, prepared and issued by the Supplier, shall be conclusive and finally binding on the parties, in the absence of manifest​​ error.

  • Where the Customer has not given notice of termination of the Contract under clause​​ 7.4,​​ the Supplier may in the six month period before or at any time after the expiry or termination of a Relevant Supply Contract (Original Relevant Supply Contract) (subject to clause​​ 5.13​​ and without any liability for failing to do so) enter into a new Relevant Supply Contract on behalf of the Customer, whether with the same utility provider or a different utility provider​​ (a​​ Renewed Relevant Supply Contract) and a Renewed Relevant Supply Contract which goes live shall be a Relevant Supply Contract for the purposes of the Contract. If for any reason a Renewed Relevant Supply Contract has not been entered into within 3 months of the expiry or termination of the Original Relevant Supply Contract, the Customer shall pay to the Supplier on demand an amount equal to 10% of the total spend on energy under the Original Relevant Supply Contract, which 10% sum shall be Lost Commission for the purposes of the Contract.

  • If a Renewed Relevant Supply Contract never goes live for any reason, the Customer shall pay to the Supplier on demand an amount equal to the higher of the following (and whichever applies, it shall be Lost Commission for the purposes of the Contract):

    • the commission which would have been due to the Supplier under the Renewed Relevant Supply Contract had it gone live and continued for its fixed term or a period of three years, whichever is shorter (Renewed Relevant Supply​​ Contract Duration) based on (at the Supplier’s election) actual or estimated consumption over that period; and

    • 10% of the Total Prior Spend (where the Total Prior Spend is the average monthly spend under the Original Relevant Supply Contract multiplied by​​ the number of calendar months in the Renewed Relevant Supply Contract Duration, and for this purpose a part month at the end or beginning of the Renewed Relevant Supply Contract Duration shall be treated as a whole calendar month).

  • Where the Customer has​​ given notice of termination of the Contract under clause​​ 7.4 ​​​​ and a new Supply Contract has been or will be entered into by the Customer with the same utility provider (including by automatic renewal or roll-over of the Original Relevant Supply Agreement on its termination or expiry) at that utility provider’s out of contract rate, the Supplier may (subject to clause​​ 5.13​​ and without any liability for failing to do so) enter into a Relevant Supply Contract on behalf of the Customer with the incumbent utility provider or a new utility provider (in the six month period before the expiry of the Customer’s notice of termination [or [within 3 months][at any time] after the expiry or termination of the Original Relevant​​ Supply Contract]) in order to avoid the Customer switching to or incurring or continuing to incur the incumbent utility provider’s out of contract rate (a​​ Protective​​ Relevant Supply Contract). A Protective Relevant Supply Contract which goes live shall be​​ a Relevant Supply Contract for the purposes of the Contract. Where for any reason a Protective Relevant Supply Contract does not go live, including where the Customer (itself or through another agent) enters into another Supply Contract which does go live,​​ the Supplier shall not be entitled to any Lost Commission that may, but for this provision, have fallen due under the Contract in relation to the Protective Relevant Supply Contract.

  • In relation to any Renewed Relevant Supply Contract or Protective Relevant Supply Contract, the Supplier shall:

    • not agree a fixed term of more than 3 years;

    • not agree a commission rate greater than £0.03 per Kwh; and

    • endeavour to enter into the Renewed Relevant Supply Contract or Protective Relevant Supply Contract with the incumbent utility company rather than with a different utility provider (but the parties acknowledge that using the same utility provider may not be best for the Customer so renewal may not always be with the incumbent utility provider). ​​ 

  • This clause​​ 5​​ shall survive the termination of the Contract.

• Limitation of liability: THE CUSTOMER'S ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THIS CLAUSE.

  • Nothing in the Contract shall limit or exclude the Supplier's liability for:

    • death or personal injury caused​​ by its negligence, or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors;

    • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or

    • breach of the terms implied by section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (title and quiet possession) or any other liability which cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law.

  • Subject to clause​​ 6.1, the Supplier shall not be liable to the Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), for breach of statutory duty, or otherwise,​​ arising under or in connection with the Contract for:

    • loss of profits;

    • loss of goodwill;

    • loss of business;

    • loss of anticipated savings;​​ or

    • any special, indirect or consequential loss.

  • Subject to clause​​ 6.1, the Supplier's total liability to​​ the Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising under or in connection with the Contract shall be limited to:

    • £100 (one hundred pounds sterling); or

    • if a Relevant Supply Contract is entered into before termination of the Contract, the aggregate Commission received by the Supplier under that Relevant Supply Contract in respect of the first year of the Relevant Supply Contract.
