Standard Terms & Conditions

Our new Terms & Conditions came into effect on Thursday, 19 January 2023. These changes should make it easier to understand what to expect as a Utilita customer. Check out a summary of what changed:

Credit checks and how you pay for your energy: We’ve made what happens when you join us much clearer, including new clauses detailing what happens if we need to conduct any credit checks, and what happens if you want to switch from Pay As You Go to Credit.

Cancellations: Moving supplier is now easier with Faster Switching – we’ll now cancel your contract from the date we receive any request, then you can start the switching process

Energy support schemes: There is now a new clause explaining how we deliver energy support schemes and what our obligations are.

Government announcements & changes: With lots of government schemes being launched, and more frequent price change announcements – we’ve now explained in more detail when you’ll hear from us and what to expect.

Late payments & administration charges: We’ve clarified what we’ll charge you if you’re late with any payments or if we have to charge you administration costs for any reason.

Final bills: If you pay by Direct Debit, or you pay for your energy when you get your bill, we’ve updated our clause relating to the issuing of any finals bills to explain what happens if you change tenancy.

Deemed contracts explained: We’ve added a new clause that gives a clearer explanation on what happens if you are on a deemed contract.

General updates for improved readability: While our Terms & Conditions remain a legal document, we’ve reduced the amount of jargon so they’re easier to understand. Our terms are also certified by Plain English – our Crystal Mark status means they’ve been independently approved as clear and simple.

Green Deal Terms & Conditions

1. Your agreement with us

The Green Deal Scheme is a government-backed initiative where organisations called Green Deal Providers provide financial assistance in the form of a loan to help households make energy-saving improvements to their premises. The loan is repaid through a charge added to an electricity bill, or recovered through a prepayment meter using a daily charge. Through adding energy-saving improvements to your home, the Green Deal stays with the premises and if you move, the new resident or person benefitting from the improvements will then be responsible for paying the remaining charges. If you are responsible for the Green Deal Charges at your premises, the following terms apply to you.

1.1 We are Utilita Energy Limited of Hutwood Court, Bournemouth Road, Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh SO53 3QB, registered in England – 04849181– and with VAT number: 823818422.

1.2 If your premises has a Green Deal and we supply Electricity to you, these terms & conditions (“Green Deal Terms”) apply regardless of whether you are being supplied under our Standard Terms or our Deemed Contract Terms. You can read the terms that apply to our supply of Energy to you by following this link: utilita.co.uk/terms

1.3 If there is a mismatch between these Green Deal Terms and our Standard Terms, these Terms will apply on Green Deal issues, and our Standard Terms will apply in all other cases.

2. Paying for your Green Deal charges

2.1 You are a Green Deal Payer if you are responsible for paying the gas and/or electricity charges at your premises and there is a Green Deal attached to your premises. Even if you did not enter an agreement to join the Green Deal, you are responsible for paying the Green Deal Charges where a previous owner or occupier has joined the scheme in relation to your premises.

2.2 As a Green Deal Payer and a customer of Utilita, you agree to pay us any Green Deal Charges related to the Green Deal. Green Deal Charges are separate from any charges for the Energy you use. Our tariff prices do not include Green Deal Charges - these will be added to your bill separately.

2.3 You are responsible for paying us the Green Deal Charges from the date that we begin the supply of electricity to your premises (whether under a Deemed Contract or our Standard Terms).

2.4 We are responsible for collecting your Green Deal Charges and we will send your Green Deal Charges to the relevant Green Deal Provider on your behalf.

2.5 We will tell you what your Green Deal Charges will be before we start taking them. You can see what Green Deal Charges you pay by looking at your bill or statement.

2.6 We will collect your Green Deal Charges daily through your meter (where you are a pre-payment customer) or through your bill (if you are a credit customer). We will take payment through the same method which you chose to pay for your electricity supply. Further information regarding paying your Green Deal Charges can be found in the Green Deal Code of Practice by following this link: utilita.co.uk/codes-of-practice.

2.7 When you pay us, the amount that you pay will be split between your standard electricity charges and your Green Deal Charges.

2.8 If you would like to pay off your Green Deal Charges early, speak to your Green Deal Provider. Where any changes are notified to us by your Green Deal Provider, we will adjust your Green Deal Charges and write to you to inform you of these changes before they happen.

Delays in Payment or Difficulties Paying

2.9 If you do not pay your Green Deal Charges we will treat the unpaid sums as a debt, in accordance with our Standard Terms. You can find out more by following this link: utilita.co.uk/terms

3. Ending your supply with us

3.1 Please see our Standard Terms & Conditions for information on ending your contract with us.

3.2 If you wish to switch to a different electricity supplier, you must select a supplier that participates in the Green Deal. We will continue to collect the Green Deal Charges until your new electricity supplier takes over the supply. Your new electricity supplier will collect the Green Deal Charges for your premises from when they take over the supply from us. You will be responsible for all outstanding Green Deal Charges that were payable to us up to the date that our supply ended and you will continue to be responsible for paying the Green Deal Charges with your new supplier.

3.3 Where you ask to switch to a different electricity supplier, we have the right to object to your proposed supply transfer where you have outstanding Green Deal Charges owing on your account. If you are a prepayment customer we may be able to transfer your supply under the Debt Assignment Protocol. To find out more about the Debt Assignment Protocol, please visit utilita.co.uk/codes-of-practice.

3.4 If you move to new premises, you may remain responsible for paying the Green Deal Charges related to your old premises until a new Green Deal Payer takes over responsibility for the Green Deal Charges.

3.5 If you stop taking electricity at your premises but there are Green Deal Charges accruing, we will continue to take your Green Deal Charges.

4. Your privacy

4.1 We collect and receive data about you, your household, and your meter so we can provide our services to you and to comply with our regulatory obligations. We explain what information we collect and what we use it for in our Privacy Information Notice which is online at utilita.co.uk/terms or you can call our Customer Services Team if you need a hard copy.

4.2 Where your premises is part of the Green Deal we may also collect and share personal information about you and your household with your Green Deal Provider. We do this in order to manage your Green Deal and to correctly collect and pay your Green Deal Charges. This information may also be shared with regulators, government authorities, organisations that co-ordinate the Green Deal and relevant Green Deal Providers to oversee the Green Deal Scheme.

5. Our liability to you

5.1 We do not limit our liability to you for death or personal injury arising out of our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.2 We are only responsible for foreseeable loss or damage that is caused by our failure to comply with these Terms, or where we do not use reasonable skill and care. If you suffer loss as a result of our failure under these Terms, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims is limited to £10,000 for any one event or series of connected events in any 12 month period.

5.3 We are not responsible for unforeseeable losses, or any other loss or damage that you may incur which is not an obvious consequence of our failure, or where the failure is due to circumstances that are beyond our reasonable control. We are not responsible for any indirect, special or consequential losses you may suffer, including but not limited to any business losses or disruption to business activities carried out at the premises.

5.4 These terms shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and disputes arising shall be dealt with by the English courts. If the address of the premises is in Scotland, your statutory rights are not affected.

7.11 You must have the device bill payer's permission before incurring these charges. If you lose your internet connection whilst accessing our App, you may not be able to continue accessing it, transactions may be interrupted and the information you see on our App may not be accurate or up to date.

7.12 If you are not the device bill payer for the device being used to access our App, you will be assumed to have received permission from the bill payer.

7.13 We are not responsible for any of our App functionality not being available because you do not have an internet connection or any available data allowance on your device.

7.14 We are not responsible for any failure or delay in managing a payment due to your failure to maintain the internet-connection, battery of the device or other connection issue. Your energy supply may be interrupted if you do not make top-ups or other payments to your account in good time.

7.15 We are committed to ensuring that our App is as useful and efficient as possible but this App does not replace your In-Home Display.

7.16 You acknowledge and accept that to be able to provide you with our Services, we automatically collect data from your Smart Meter, including any data that your Smart Meter records half-hourly and that we collect from time to time.

7.17 Please note that we can only use your Smart Meter half-hourly data with your consent. By accepting the App Terms and using our App, you consent to us collecting and using this data.

7.18 You may withdraw your consent to our collecting and using half-hourly data by contacting our Customer Services Team by email on customerservices@utilita.co.uk or by calling 0345 207 2000. However, if you withdraw your consent you will not be able to use our App.

7.19 You can find out more information about our Services, how you can pay any outstanding charges, how the Payment System operates, and how you can manage your account with us by reading our Standard Terms or viewing our Codes of Practice (utilita.co.uk/help/codes-of-practice) which provides guidance and information sheets which explain the provision of the Services in more detail.

8. Using The Power Up Functionality

8.1 Where you meet the criteria, you can apply for a Power Up through our App which can be applied to your account as a top-up, the amount of which can be variable. The value of this energy is then repaid as a debt to us from your future top-up payments at the agreed rates until the Power Up is repaid in full. Please see our website utilita.co.uk/help/my-utilita for more information.

8.2 Please note that we also offer:

8.2.1 extra credit on prepayment meters (“Emergency Credit”) in the event you run out of pre-paid credit as explained in more detail here: utilita.co.uk/help/about-prepayment-meters; and

8.2.2 a ‘no disconnect’ mode that the prepayment meters can enter into to ensure you do not lose supply, even if Emergency Credit has not been activated or it has expired (“Friendly Credit Hours”) as explained in more detail here: About Prepayment Meters | Help | Utilita Energy.

These enable your supply to continue whilst you arrange a normal payment to top-up the credit on your meter. However, if you use these facilities and still run out of credit, you must repay them and get into credit by at least £2 to get back on supply.

8.3 It is recommended that you make use of the Emergency Credit and Friendly Credit Hours before you apply for a Power Up to ensure that you satisfy any outstanding credit you have used prior to going back on supply and to avoid you needing to repay any energy used under a Power Up application as a debt from your future top-up payments.

8.4 If you are experiencing difficulties in paying for your energy, please contact our Customer Services Team by emailing customerservices@utilita.co.uk or calling 0345 207 2000. We have a number of procedures in place to support those with short term, or longer-term payment difficulties. Please see our “Difficulties Paying” Code of Practice for more information.

8.5 Alternatively, please visit our “Know Your Rights” section on our website, available here: utilita.co.uk/help/know-your-rights.

3 HOW WE LOOK AFTER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information we hold about you is stored on secure servers that are protected from external access using best practice in information technology. Staff access our systems by individual password protected schemes, which limit access to your data to those who need to use it to provide our Services

Some of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that where we use certain service providers, we use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries .

If you change your mind, please tell our Customer Services Team. Even if you refuse marketing, we will still contact you to advise you that you have won a prize and will not exclude you form a draw unless you opt out of this scheme.

You can also ask:

that any inaccurate information we hold about you is corrected;
that we delete information about you in certain situations;
that we stop using your personal information for certain purposes;
that we don’t make decisions about you by completely automated means;
that personal data you have given us be provided to you in a common machine readable format, or sent to a third party where this is technically feasible;
