Your acceptance of this contract is deemed to represent acceptance of all terms. In addition to this contract, energy laws and other consumer laws also contain rules about the sale of electricity and we will comply with these rules in our dealings with you.

THE PARTIES

1. This contract is between ReAmped Energy Pty Ltd (ACN 605 682 684) who sells electricity to you at the premises and you.
2. In this contract, ReAmped Energy is referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”; and You, the customer to whom this contract applies is referred to as “you” or “your”.

The terms and conditions of this contract are as agreed between us (retailer) and you (small customer), except as provided by the energy laws.

These terms and conditions apply to you if you have accepted one of our market offers to supply electricity to you and if you are a small customer.

This contract only applies to electricity.

Subject to clauses 4.2 and 4.4, we will start supplying electricity on:

1. the date immediately following the expiration of the 10-business day cooling off period or a later date if specified in this contract - if you are an existing customer of ReAmped Energy;
2. a later date as agreed between you and us under a contract renewal, whereby you will be notified 1 month prior to the end of an existing contract term; or
3. the date responsibility for the supply of electricity at the premises has been transferred to us - if you are a new customer of ReAmped Energy;

You will be notified electronically when ReAmped Energy starts supplying you with electricity.

This contract does not cover the physical connection of the premises to the distribution system, including the maintenance of that connection and the supply of electricity to the premises. This is the role of your distributor under a separate contract called a customer connection contract.

If the premises is not connected at the commencement of this contract we will arrange for the distributor to connect the premises. You must pay us all charges and fees levied by the distributor in relation to that connection.

You must give us any information we reasonably require for the purposes of this contract. The information must be correct, and you must not mislead or deceive us in relation to any information provided to us.

If you cannot meet an obligation relating to the premises under this contract because you are not the owner you will not be in breach of the obligation if you take all reasonable steps to ensure that the owner or other person responsible for the premises fulfils the obligation.

Any discounts, including the conditions that apply to them, will be set out in the plan information document.

Amounts specified in the market offer prices and other amounts payable under this contract will be GST inclusive unless otherwise stated.

Your bill will be viewable on your ReAmped Energy online account accessible via the website. We will send your bill to you:

1. at your designated email address nominated by you; or
2. to a person authorised in writing by you to act on your behalf at the designated email address specified by you.

Bills we send to you will be calculated on:

1. the amount of energy consumed at your premises during the billing cycle (using information obtained from reading your meter data or otherwise in accordance with the Rules);
2. the amount of fees and charges for any other services provided under this contract during the billing cycle; and
3. the charges payable for services provided by your distributor.

We will give you access to your billing and consumption history free of charge. However, we may charge you where your request is in a form not provided for in energy laws.

We may, where you agree, arrange for you to pay your bills under a bill smoothing arrangement, which is based on a 12 monthly estimate of your energy consumption.

You must pay to us the amount shown on your bill (including GST) by the due date specified on your bill.

The due date will be 3 business days from the date we issue your bill. The issue date will be the date we send the bill electronically to you.

We will issue your bill monthly unless you choose to receive your bill weekly or fortnightly.

If you make a payment which is dishonoured or reversed and it results in us incurring fees or costs, we may recover these fees or costs from you.

If you have not paid your bill by the due date, you must pay the late payment charge and you may also lose any discounts associated with prompt payment. If applicable, these terms are listed in the plan information document.

You may also be required to pay any reasonable costs incurred by us for collecting overdue payments from you.

We may require that you provide a security deposit. The circumstances in which we can require a security deposit and the maximum amount of the security deposit are governed by the energy laws.

Where you have paid a security deposit, subject to clause 13.3, we must pay you interest on the security deposit at the prevailing published 90- day bank bill rate.

Subject to us satisfying the requirements in the energy laws, we may arrange for the disconnection of the premises if:

1. you do not pay your bill by the pay-by date and, if you are a residential customer, you:

   2. do not agree to an offer to pay the bill by instalments, or having agreed, you fail to comply with the instalment arrangement;
2. you do not provide a security deposit we are entitled to require from you;
3. you do not give access to the premises to read a meter (where relevant) for 3 consecutive meter reads;
4. you fail to give us safe and unhindered access to the premises as required by clause 11 or any requirements under the energy laws; or
5. there has been illegal or fraudulent use of electricity at the premises in breach of clause 16 of this contract; or
6. we are otherwise entitled or required to do so under the energy laws or by law.

Before disconnecting the premises, we must comply with relevant warning notice requirements and other provisions in the energy laws. However, we are not required to provide a warning notice prior to disconnection in certain circumstances permitted by the energy laws (for example, where there has been illegal or fraudulent use of electricity at the premises or where there is an emergency or health and safety issue).

You must not, and must take reasonable steps to ensure others do not:

1. illegally use electricity supplied to the premises; or
2. interfere or allow interference with any electricity equipment that is at the premises except as may be permitted by law; or

   1. unreasonably interferes with the connection or supply of electricity to another customer; or
   2. causes damage or interference to any third party; or
