4. Contract Start Date

4.1 Your Contract with us starts when you accept these terms and conditions as part of our application process, or (in relation to a Deemed Contract) the date when that Contract is deemed to take effect in accordance with clause 5.

4.3  If you are the landlord of a property and you are paying the bills on behalf of your tenants:

4.4  If you are tenants at a property and you are paying the bills:

5. Deemed Contract

5.1. Means a Contract between us and you which is deemed to have been formed on the terms of this Agreement because we supply gas and/or electricity to a property of which you are the owner or occupier or have become responsible for the premises when you have not actively agreed to that supply by us.

5.2  Instances when this can happen include when:

5.2.1 you move into a property already supplied by TruEnergy, until you agree a formal Contract with us or appoint an alternative energy supplier; or

5.2.2 the person who was the named account holder with us moves out of the Premises but you remain (or your tenants have moved out and you are the owner of the property); or

5.2.3 you come to the end of a fixed-term Contract and you do not agree a new Contract with us.

5.3.1 you transfer your supply of Energy to the relevant Meter Point(s) to another Supplier;

5.3.2. you agree on a new Contract with us for the supply of Energy to the Property(s);

6. Supply Start Date

6.1 We aim to begin the supply to you within 21 days of the day of the start of the Contract unless you have specifically requested us to start supply at a date outside this period.

6.2 We will not be able to begin supply if we have not obtained all the information we need to start the supply or if:

6.2.1 your existing supplier blocks the switch; or

6.2.2 some part of your account with your previous supplier is in debt; or

6.2.3 we cannot complete the switch because you have not supplied the required information on your property/meter; or

6.2.4 your meter is not suitable for the tariff we are to provide; or

6.2.5 any other situation arises which is outside of our control, provided we have taken reasonable steps to resolve the situation.

7. Your Rights of Cancellation

7.1 Where you have agreed a formal Contract with us, you may cancel it any time within 14 days from the day after the contract was made.  You may cancel via telephone, email or post.

7.2 If we currently supply Energy to the Premises and you cancel your Contract with us, we will continue the supply under our Deemed Contract until a new supplier to the Premises is appointed or you enter into a new formal Contract with us.

7.3 If you choose to start your supply in advance of the 14th day, and then decide to cancel, your supply will be changed back to your former supplier within a further 21 days and you will need to pay us the charges for the supply from the Supply Start Date to the date when you are switched back to your former supplier if these charges are not taken over by your previous supplier.

8. Our Prices and Charges

8.1 Our bills for supplying Energy will be sent to you via email where you have agreed to a formal Contract with us and we have your email address, or by post.

8.2 Our charges are based on the Energy consumed at the Premises as recorded by the Metering Equipment and calculated in accordance with clause 8.5.  Charges will be calculated based on a meter reading supplied automatically from a Smart Meter, or a meter reading provided by you, or taken by us, or our agents.

8.3 In the event that no meter reading is supplied, for example, if you have a Smart Meter and it stops sending us data, we will use an estimate.

8.4 Our charges to you apply from the Supply Start Date.

8.5 We may round calculations to 4 significant figures to present charges clearly. For example, unit prices may be round to the nearest 0.01p and monthly amounts may be rounded to the nearest penny.

8.5 Our charges are based on:

8.5.1 A daily standing charge which is a fixed amount;

8.5.2 A single unit rate charge, which is a charge for each unit used under your agreed tariff for your location;

8.5.3 If you are on a Fixed Rate Tariff the rate(s) will be the one(s) that applied on the date you signed up;

9.5.4 If you are on a Time of Use Tariff or a Variable Rate Tariff, the rate(s) will be the one(s) that applied at the time Energy was consumed.

8.5.5 If you have an Economy 7 meter or equivalent, your electricity will be charged at two rates – a higher day rate, and a cheaper night rate. This night rate will typically apply for a number of hours between 8 pm and 8 am. The actual times that your night rate applies will depend on where you live. They are coded into your meter and should also be written there for you to see; and

8.5.6 In the event that you live in a development supplied by an independent Gas Transporter and/or independent distribution network operator, there may be other incremental charges. Depending on your area, these can include both a fixed amount and unit charge, and we may pass these charges on to you through your account statement for payment as a part of your supply.

8.6 We can also charge you for reasonable costs that aren’t included in our tariffs under certain circumstances. We will tell you how much such charges are at the time and will provide a breakdown of the costs if you ask us for one. These can include costs arising from the following:

8.6.1 Visiting your property and stopping, disconnecting or reconnecting your supply if you ask us to do it (for example if you want to move your meter or need to disconnect it temporarily), or to repair damage caused to the meter;

8.6.2 Inspecting, testing, replacing or working on your meter if you ask us to but there’s no problem with it;

8.6.3 Replacing payment cards or keys if you have a Traditional Prepayment Meter;

8.6.4 Charges we are required to pass on to our customers by law or regulation or by a regulatory authority (such as Ofgem); and

8.6.5 Any reasonable cost we incur (including administration cost) because you failed to meet the Terms and Conditions of this Contract.

8.7 VAT is also payable at the applicable rate.

8.8 We do not offer any referral schemes or other marketing initiatives.

9. Payments

9.1 You are responsible for paying for the Energy supply until your Contract with us ends, including any charges or debts that remain outstanding at the end of your Contract which isn’t taken on by your new supplier. If you have entered into this Contract together with other people, each person will be jointly and severally liable for any money owed to us.

9.2 The method of payment will be either via a standard bank transfer, Direct Debit or a registered payment card and you are responsible for ensuring that invoices are paid in full on the due date. If paying by direct debit:

9.2.1 (i) you should keep your account in credit and (ii) we will track and carry the balance forward to the next month’s Statement of Account;

9.2.2 we typically set your direct debit amount based on the amount of energy we think you’ll use across a year divided by twelve (this is your payment plan as set out in the quote we provide to you in your Application);

9.2.3 we review your direct debit at least once a year and can offer to reduce your direct debit if it’s too high based on actual meter readings or we can increase your direct debit if it is too low to help you avoid building up debt;

9.2.4 we will notify you at least 5 Working Days before the direct debit is due to come out of your account;

9.2.5 if your direct debit fails due to insufficient funds, we will let you know and re-present the automated instruction within 5 Working Days;

9.2.6 your direct debit amount will be shown on your statement, and you should contact us if you believe your bill is incorrect;

9.2.7 if the amount payable is the subject of a bona fide dispute, the undisputed portion should be paid on your usual direct debit date. Any disputed amount should be paid via bank transfer within 7 Working Days of the dispute being resolved. No amounts can be offset or withheld on the monthly direct debit unless a credit note has been issued;

9.2.8 we reserve the right to refuse to process any transaction we deem fraudulent or suspicious.

9.3 We typically require payment one month in advance.  Based on your credit history according to a credit reference agency, we may require you to pay a security deposit or have someone else act as guarantor for your payments. We won’t require you to pay a security deposit if you are on a Traditional Prepayment Meter or have a Smart Meter installed which we operate in prepayment mode.

9.3.1 If we do ask you to pay a security deposit, we will periodically review your account and may reduce your credit balance as you build a payment history with us;

9.3.2 If we have agreed to supply you on the basis that your payments will be guaranteed by another person (a guarantor) and that person no longer wishes to stand as a guarantor for you, then we reserve the right to install a Smart Meter (which we can switch into prepayment mode), or end this Contract, in which case you will be supplied under a Deemed Contract unless we agree to a different Contract with you.

9.4 We will act in accordance with the Direct Debit Guarantee.

9.5 When the Payment Method is by Traditional Prepayment Meter or Smart Meter (in prepayment mode):

9.5.1 You must top-up your meter in advance in order to receive the supply;

9.5.2 You may be required to pay any additional charges for any additional services we may provide such as replacement keys, cards etc; and

9.5.3 If the Traditional Prepayment Meter is adjusted to recover any charges that you owe, and not just the costs of Energy consumed, we will advise you of the proportion of each top-up amount used as payment for such charges.

9.6 If you have a Traditional Prepayment Meter, you will be placed on our prepayment rates, which may cost more per unit of energy consumed than our other tariffs.

9.7 We will not try to recover charges for your Energy that are older than 12 months unless we have already tried to recover these charges, or you have behaved obstructively or unreasonably.

9.8 If you do not pay by direct debit and do not have a Traditional Prepayment Meter, you will still be responsible for paying for the supply in full each month by an alternative Payment Method agreed with us.

9.9 If you request a refund of credit on your account, you must have provided us with meter readings within 14 days of your request, unless you have a Smart Meter that we can collect readings from remotely. We will only be able to give you a refund if this will not cause your account to fall into debt.

9.10 After you’ve left us or moved to a different energy supplier, we might find out that some of the bills we’ve sent you were wrong. This could happen, for example, if you didn’t give us a meter reading when you ended the contract. If any bill was wrong, we’ll send you a new bill as soon as we can:

(a) If the new bill shows that you owe us money, you have to pay it by the date shown on the bill. If you don’t think you owe this money, you need to tell us straight away.

(b) If the new bill shows that you have money left in your account, we can use this money to pay off any amounts you owe us, even if they’re under a different contract.

(c) If we find that you’ve overpaid, and you don’t owe us any money under a different contract, we’ll pay you back the full amount left in your account. We won’t pay you the money back if we don’t have your necessary details and we can’t get in touch with you or if 24 months passes.

9.11 Clause 9.9 will still apply after this contract expires and after we have sent you a final bill.

10. Non-Payment of Charges

10.1 If you do not pay your bill on time, we may:

10.1.1 Require that you bring your account into good order and we may change the nature of your direct debit arrangement so that it collects the full amount of your bill each month plus any debt outstanding on your account rather than just a fixed amount;

10.1.2 Change the amount of your fixed direct debit or adjust the Traditional Prepayment Meter tariff to recover the sum due to us;

10.1.3 Require you to post a security deposit;

10.1.4 Replace your existing meter with a Smart Meter (which we can switch into prepayment mode) or switch your existing Smart Meter into prepayment mode;

10.1.5 Offer you a payment plan according to your circumstances;

10.1.6 Charge you £15 for the first missed payment and £20 for each missed payment after that;

10.1.7 Take such steps as are necessary to recover the sums due to us, which may include employing a debt collection agency;

10.1.8 Provide information about your non-payment to credit reference agencies, which may impact your ability to get credit in the future;

10.1.9 Recover from you all costs incurred by us in pursuing your non-payment, including: bank charges due to cancelled or failed payments, the cost of visiting you, any debt collection agency costs, legal costs, and costs of getting a warrant to enter your property and installing a Smart Meter which we can switch into prepayment mode;

10.1.10 Charge interest at the rate of up to 8% above the Bank of England Bank base rate at the relevant time on all outstanding charges from the date the charges first became overdue until the date you make payment of such charges; and/or

10.1.11 Disconnect the supply in accordance with clause 15.

10.2 If you are having difficulty in paying your bill, please let us know as soon as possible and we can discuss ways that might help make paying your bills more manageable. You can contact us at glide@glide.co.uk, and we will provide all such help and assistance as we can in order to avoid disconnecting your Energy supply.

If you do not agree with the changes, you can switch to another supplier or end this Contract and start a new Contract with us without penalty. This does not apply at the end of a Fixed Rate Tariff, where clause 13 will apply, or if we change your payment method in accordance with your Contract.

12. Ending the Contract

12.1 You may end this Contract by giving us 28 days’ notice provided that:

12.1.1 Either another supplier takes over supplying Energy to the Premises by the end of your notice period, or the supply has been disconnected by this date; and

13. Fixed-Rate Tariff Contracts

13.1 When your Fixed Rate Tariff ends, unless you choose to move onto a new Fixed Rate Tariff, Variable Rate Tariff or Time of Use Tariff, subject to availability and at our discretion, we will automatically transfer you to either:

13.1.1 the cheapest Variable Rate Tariff; or

13.1.2 a Fixed Rate Tariff that is cheaper than (or as cheap as) our cheapest Variable Rate Tariff;

in each case calculated based on our estimate of your annual consumption and as appropriate for your payment method, meter type and other relevant account arrangements.

13.2 If you move onto a new Fixed Rate Tariff when your previous Fixed Rate Tariff ends, we’ll start a new Contract based on the new Fixed Rate Tariff on the date the old one ends.

14. Moving House

14.1 If you are moving and request us to supply Energy to your new premises, we will cancel your existing Contract and provide a new Contract appropriate to your new premises. We will not charge a termination fee.

14.2 If you are moving and do not request us to supply Energy to your new premises, we will cancel your existing Contract within two (2) Working Days’ of the day you move, according to what you tell us, or two Working Days’ notice from when another person begins to occupy the Premises.
