Bills Splitting Terms & Conditions

These Terms apply to any Contract made between You and Squiggle Energy for the provision of Services. Please read them carefully and make sure You fully understand them before agreeing to purchase Our services. Before completing the sign-up process, You will be asked to agree to these Terms.

Version 1.1Last updated 21 October 2026Huddle Utilities t/a Squiggle Energy · Company No. 09380853
The bill splitting promise

Every occupant who signs up for a Bill Splitting Service enters an individual agreement and is responsible only for their own allocated share — never for another occupant’s arrears.

Clause 3.2.2 sets this out in full: if one occupant fails to pay, the outstanding balance and any recovery action are pursued solely against that occupant.

Your quote is shared, not fixed

Per-person quotes are based on the occupancy details You give Us at sign-up. The final amount each occupant pays is the total property charge divided by the number of confirmed sign-ups, so it may be higher or lower than the original quote.

Deemed contracts are the exception

If You use energy without a signed agreement, a Deemed Contract applies automatically and joint and several liability returns. See Clause 20.

1.2.We reserve the right to amend these Terms from time to time as set out in Clause 4.

1.3.You agree to pay Us for Services We provide under these Terms once a contract is formed between us, in accordance with Clause 7 and 8. This includes any additional charges as laid out in the aforementioned Clauses.

1.4.If You are arranging for a third party to pay for Your services on Your behalf, they will be bound by these same Terms, as stated in Clause 9.

1.4.1.Please note that the Ultimate Beneficiary of the services is liable for payment of the Services if the third party fails to pay for whatever reason, including, without limitation, a voluntary arrangement or legal proceedings or other steps taken in relation to the third party’s winding-up or liquidation; the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, administrator, administrative receiver or similar officer in respect of the third party or its assets; or a composition, assignment or arrangement with the third party’s creditors.

1.4.2.Squiggle Energy assumes no responsibility or liability in the event that a third party fails to remit payment for Services. The Ultimate Beneficiary is still obligated to settle payment with us; however, they have the option to pursue legal action against the third party if the latter fails to fulfil their payment obligation, provided that the Ultimate Beneficiary has already made payment to the third party.

1.5.You may cancel this contract within the Initial Cancellation Period. Beyond that time, cancellation will be in accordance with the Terms set out in Clause 13.

1.5.1If You request or agree to have Your broadband service installed or activated within the 14-day statutory Initial Cancellation Period, You expressly acknowledge and agree that You are requesting the service to start before the end of the Initial Cancellation Period. Consequently, Your 14-day cooling-off period will no longer apply.

The Contract With You

3.1.These terms and conditions and Our applicable tariff and monthly costs information and your Order that you are given during your sign-up shall form the Contract between You and Squiggle Energy for the supply of Services to the Property.

3.2These terms will be binding once the first Customer accepts the Order and You begin receiving Squiggle Energy services.

3.2.1Please ensure that You read these Terms carefully, and check that the details on the Order and in these Terms are complete and accurate before You sign or agree to the Order. If You think that there is a mistake, please contact Us to discuss it.

3.2.2Each occupant who signs up for a Bill Splitting Service at a property enters into an individual agreement and is responsible only for their own allocated share of the property charges. No occupant shall be jointly or severally liable for the debts, arrears, or payment obligations of any other occupant. If an occupant fails to make any payment due, any outstanding balance, debt recovery action, collection costs, or legal proceedings relating to that unpaid amount shall be pursued solely against the defaulting occupant. Under no circumstances will any other occupant of the property be required to pay, guarantee, or otherwise be held responsible for the unpaid charges of another occupant that is signed up.

3.2.2.1However under the Electricity Act 1989 and Gas Act 1986, a Deemed Contract applies automatically when you use energy without a signed agreement (e.g., when moving into a new property or after a fixed contract expires). Under these circumstances, joint and several liability applies; meaning all occupiers, tenants, or partners are held individually responsible for the full amount of the energy debt, not just an equal share.

3.2.3The per person quotes provided are based on the occupancy details received at the time of sign up (for example, a quote for a 3-bedroom property assumes the property cost is shared accordingly). The final amount payable by each occupant will be calculated by dividing the total property charge by the total number of confirmed sign ups for that property. As a result, the price per tenant may be higher or lower than the original quote once adjusted.

3.3.When You sign and submit the Order to Us, this does not mean that We have accepted Your order for Services. Our acceptance of the Order will take place as described in Clause 3.4. If We are unable to supply You with the Services, We will inform You of this and We will not process the Order.

3.4.These Terms will become a binding contract between You and Us when We contact You and confirm We are able to provide You with the Services required.

3.5.By submitting the Order to Us, You accept responsibility for the Order in full. We have the right to bill You in full for the Order until other Tenants agree to Our Terms.

3.6.If any of these Terms conflict with any term of the Order, the Order will take priority.

3.7.We shall assign a unique number to each Order and inform You of it when confirming the Order. Please quote this number in all subsequent correspondence and dealings with Us.

3.8.If You have any existing Utilities and service providers that will be replaced by Our Services, You may need to contact Your existing services provider(s) in order to terminate those services. Your existing services providers may charge cancellation fees in relation to their contract with You, and We accept no liability for this.

3.9.Each Customer is a party to the Contract, and changes relating to cancellation of the Services must be made in writing by each Customer and are only effective once Squiggle Energy has confirmed the cancellation in writing.

3.10.Where more than one Customer has entered into a contract and changes to the package are requested, all Customers must give their consent before any amendment is actioned by Us. This consent must be provided in writing either by letter or email.

Changes to Order or Terms

4.1.We reserve the right to revise these Terms from time to time in the following circumstances:

4.1.1.Changes occur in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

4.1.2.We deem this appropriate in relation to Our business.

4.3.You may make a change to the Order for Services at any time before the start date of the Services by contacting Us. Where this means a change in the total price of the Services, We will notify You of the amended price in writing.

4.4.If You wish to cancel an Order, please see Your right to do so in Clause 13.

5

Providing the Services

5.1.We will make reasonable endeavours to supply the Services to You from the date agreed between Us in the Order. The estimated start time for providing Services will vary between the types of Services. We may be unable to fulfil Your order if sufficient payment information has not been added to Your account.

We will not be liable for any delay or non-performance where You have not provided this information to Us after We have asked You to provide it. If We suspend the Services due to this, You do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended but this does not affect Your obligation to pay for any invoices already sent.

5.4.We may have to suspend the Services while resolving technical problems or to make improvements to the Services which have been agreed between You and Us in writing. We will contact You to let You know in advance where this occurs unless the problem is urgent or is classified as an emergency. You do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended under Clause 5.4, but this does not affect Your obligation to pay for any invoices already sent.

5.5.The cost of Services will vary depending on the Package agreed between Us in writing for each Order. The individual cost breakdown for the Services will be provided to You in writing as part of any Order. Tariffs are displayed within the Contract. .

5.6.Where We are providing Services to You, Your extent to use Utilities and Services will be estimated in the Order (see Clause 26 of Our terms for an indication of usage allowances). If it becomes apparent that You have exceeded these estimated usages, We reserve the right under these Terms and any Order to charge You the relevant Fees or pass onto You any additional charges incurred from third-party Utilities or service providers.

5.7.If You do not pay Us for the Services when arranged as set out in Clause 8, We may suspend the Services with immediate effect until any outstanding amounts have been paid in full (except where You dispute an invoice under Clause 8.4). 5.7.1. For energy supply, we can suspend or disconnect the supply if:

5.7.1.a.You have not paid your bill on time;

5.9.When You request electricity or gas services from Us, it can take up to two (2) months for Us to start supplying You with either Service. This process may be delayed by items including, without limitation, missing meter information, debt on the previous supplier account or missing address information. We reserve the right to close the account after 2 months.

5.10To be eligible, Your Property must have a fully operational and communicating Smart Meter installed.

5.10.1If a Smart Meter cannot be installed, if You refuse an installation/upgrade appointment, or if Your Smart Meter permanently loses signal/connectivity and is unable to send automated readings to us, We reserve the right to require You to manually submit accurate monthly meter readings.

5.10.2If You fail to submit these manual readings for two (2) consecutive months, or fail to arrange a required Smart Meter installation as per 5.10.1, We reserve the right to change Your Order and the pricing of it, including the Fees You pay, from the start of Your Contract or later.

6.1.In the unlikely event that there is any defect with the Services, You agree that You will contact Us as soon as reasonably possible, and We will use every effort to repair or fix the defect as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to actions required by third-parties Utility providers.

6.2.You will not have to pay for Us to repair or fix a defect with the Services under Clause 6.1, except where an appointment is missed or damage is caused wilfully or by negligence.

6.3.As a consumer, You have legal rights in relation to Services not carried out with reasonable skill and care or if the materials and equipment We use are faulty or not as described.

Monthly costs and Fees

7.1.The price of the Services will be in Your Contract which We send when We confirm Your Order. All of the Fees will be available to You at the point We take payment or provide a statement of payment and Fees which are due. Price changes will not affect Orders that We have already confirmed with You.

7.2.These Service prices are non-exempt from VAT and the specific VAT rate applied may differ between the Services in a Package. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Order and the date of delivery or performance, We will adjust the rate of VAT that You pay, unless You have already paid for the Services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

Gas and electricity

7.4.The prices We charge for supplying gas and electricity are set out in Your Contract and on Our Website. Charges may include both standing charges and unit rate. However it may also be standing charges only or unit rate only.

7.8.The start and end dates of Your Contract should reflect the time period where You are the legal occupier or owner of the Property, and We may update Your Contract to reflect the correct dates.

Water and sewerage

7.9The water fees in your payment plan are calculated based on the average water charge in your local area, the size of Your Property and a variable bill splitting administration fee, at an average of £2.80 per site per week. If Your water bill issued by your water provider exceeds 20% of the fees in the Squiggle Energy payment plan, we reserve the right to charge you for the additional amount.

7.9.1.We are not responsible for the type of water billing at your property whether it is by meter or by a rateable or assessed value. We will pay the charges set by your water authority during your supply period.

7.9.2.We are not responsible for the installation of a water meter.

7.9.3We are not responsible for covering the cost of water leaks and any additional charges we incur as a result will be passed on.

7.9.4.If you are on our variable water product our administration fee for water service is £2.80 per week per house.

7.9.5If you are on a fixed water product you will pay a set monthly fee outlined at the outset of your contract.

7.9.5.1Your fixed water product is subject to a fair usage policy. If your actual water bill is more than 25% higher than the Squiggle Energy payment plan charges (per annum), you may be charged the total cost of your water bills as received from your water supplier plus an admin fee of £2.80 per week.

Broadband

7.10.The broadband fees are charged at a monthly rate and advertised at the point of sign-up. The rate varies depending on packages and the internet speed requested.

7.10.1If we supply a broadband dongle as part of your services, You are charged (i.e. your broadband fees commence) from the date we post the dongle to your address, and You are charged in accordance with the monthly broadband fee advertised at the start of your contract.

7.10.2You are responsible for returning the dongle when your broadband line is installed. If You fail to return the dongle, You will be charged for the cost of missing equipment and You may be charged an additional broadband fee for dual-access to internet services.

This fee will be shared equally between all Customers on the Contract and apportioned on a per-Customer basis. An additional payment may be applied alongside Your payment plan to cover the cost of Your installation.

7.11.We may charge for installation of broadband, if a fibre to the Property (FTTP) is required.

7.11.1.Broadband provision is subject to physical network survey. If additional engineering work (including but not limited to ducting, poles, or excessive construction work) is required by the wholesale infrastructure provider (e.g., BT or Virgin Business, Vodaphone), We reserve the right to pass these additional survey and installation charges on to You in full.

7.12.You will not be charged for appointments unless you miss appointments.

7.13The broadband service entails a minimum contract period of 12 months, during which Customers are billed for the full 12 month cost regardless of the installation date. This aligns with the standard practice in the internet supply industry, where minimum contract periods are enforced to ensure a steady revenue flow and cover the expenses associated with Customer acquisition, maintenance and the necessary infrastructure for broadband provision. It is advisable for Customers to thoroughly review and comprehend the terms and conditions of the contract before committing to the service to avoid any unforeseen billing discrepancies.

7.13.1.Your broadband billing is not pro-rata which means You will be billed for the full month of broadband if Your contract ends or begins within that month.

Cancelling Your Internet:

7.14.You may cancel Your internet free of charge any time up to three working days before the start of Your installation appointment. If You give Us less than three working days notice, a charge of up to £60 may be applied to Your account. Once the internet has been installed, You have entered a contract to keep the internet for the length of Your tenancy. Cancelling the internet once it is installed leads to, apart from in exceptional circumstances, high cancellation fees. These charges, which are applied by the internet provider, will be passed directly on to the Customer.

7.14.1.You will be responsible for returning any equipment we have sent to you, including without limitation, dongles and boosters. Where the equipment is not returned or if it is returned in poor condition, you will be charged for the cost of the equipment.

7.14.2.If an engineering appointment is cancelled, missed, or classified as "failed" due to lack of property access or user error, or if You cancel the contract after infrastructure work has commenced but before the line is live, any cancellation or abortive labour fees charged to Us by the network provider (up to the full cost of the infrastructure deployment) will be passed directly onto the Customer's account.

TV licence

7.15.The fees will be calculated monthly in advance in accordance with the cost of purchasing Your TV licence from the TV Licensing Authority on behalf of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

7.15.1.TV licences are purchased quarterly, and if You cancel during your contract, you will be responsible for payment until the latest quarter in which We have paid on your behalf.

Missed appointment fee

7.16.If You do not give Us two (3) Working Days’ notice that You cannot make an appointment where Our agents or engineers are due to attend Your property, We will charge You a missed appointment fee. This will be equal to the amount it costs Us to rearrange the appointment and will be passed on directly from the provider. If an engineer appointment is considered to be "failed" or arranged unnecessarily (for example if a fault is caused by wilful neglect, damage or by user error), We may then be charged for this by Our providers. In this circumstance, We reserve the right to pass these charges on to You in full.

Failed Payment Fee and Late Payment Fee

7.17.If Your monthly or termly scheduled payment fails, We will try to take the payment again within seven (7) calendar days. We will warn You about the failure via text and/or email. If the reattempt fails as well, we may apply a £15 failed payment fee to Your account. Additionally, if you are behind on Your payment plan and we have contacted You about it, we may apply a £15 late payment fee to Your account.

Additional Fees

7.18.We may also charge You for other reasonable costs incurred by us. These include:

7.18.1.£60 site visit fee, for visiting Your property if We have already offered or tried to contact You by letter, phone or email, and You have refused or failed to do what We have asked You to do to meet these terms;

7.18.2.where You interfere with Your meter or steal water; or

7.18.3.the reasonable costs that We incur if You choose to pay Your fees by bank transfer or cheque; or

7.18.4.the reasonable costs that We incur for processing Your payment if You choose to pay Your fees by credit card; or

7.18.5.the reasonable costs We incur if You ask Us to send Your bills or statements via post instead of electronically, unless You require physical copies due to accessibility needs, vulnerability, or an inability to access digital services.

7.18.6.All Our prices and other charges are affected by UK tax or, if applicable, duty, including VAT at the appropriate rate.

7.19Our prices may change at any time, and We reserve the right to change these as appropriate. This will be communicated in writing to You.

7.20Where applicable to Your Product or Package, a Management Fee may apply to cover ongoing account administration and management. If applicable, the fee amount and payment frequency will be detailed in Your Order. Management Fees form part of Your monthly payment plan and are non-refundable after the 14-day Initial Cancellation Period.

8

Payment

8.1.Where We are providing Services to You, We may ask You to make an advance payment for one Month of the Services. Your rights to a refund on cancellation are set out in Clauses 13 and 14.

8.1.1.If You sign up after Your contract has started, Your first payment will be taken either 10 Working Days or seven (7) Working Days after the sign-up date depending on Your payment method.

8.1.2.Your first payment may include a catch-up payment for any months missed by a delayed or late sign-up.

8.1.3.After Your initial payment, all remaining payments will be scheduled on the first (1st) of each month unless We agree otherwise in writing.

8.1.5When You start a Contract with Us, You will pay an amount monthly in advance as per a payment plan (which will be based on an estimate of the gas and electricity consumption at Your property). You will only be charged for the energy You use, and We will then reconcile this payment plan with Your actual energy usage and settle the difference at the end of Your contract.

8.1.6For unlimited usage, you will have a set monthly amount that will be reconciled based on over or under usage.

8.1.7. We may change Your monthly payments for gas and electricity if We notice that You are using, or are likely to use, more energy than was estimated at the start of Your contract. Payments will be set to attempt a zero balance at the end of Your contract period or, if You remain with Us, over the next twelve months.

8.1.8.We may change Your payments if Your Contract length is amended either by Us or You. The price change will reflect the latest and best estimate for the supply during the updated Contract period based on estimates provided by an energy industry third-party data provider.

8.3.If after discussions You are unable to pay Our fees or You do not contact Us if You are unable to make Your payments, We reserve the right to instruct debt collection agents to collect the outstanding fees on Our behalf. Should this take place, You will have to pay an extra amount to cover the reasonable costs of the debt collection agents with the applicable VAT.

8.4.If, however, You dispute an invoice amount in good faith and contact Us to let Us know promptly, this Clause will not apply for the period of the dispute as long as You are regularly in touch with Us to resolve the dispute.

8.5.Where multiple Customers share a tenancy at a Property and one Customer ends their tenancy at that Property after the Initial Cancellation Period, it is the responsibility of all Customers (departing and remaining Customers) to inform Us immediately and no later than 30 days after ending their tenancy. It will be the departing Customer’s responsibility to continue paying their Fees to Us unless:

8.5.1.The remaining Customer(s) at that Property agree to pay the departing Customer’s proportion of the Fees and inform Squiggle Energy of their intention to do so; or

8.5.2.A replacement Customer agrees to take over the tenancy at that Property under these Terms and those of the Order to continue paying Our Fees; or

8.6.In either situation, We will notify all other Customers continuing to pay for Services in writing of any changes of this nature. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any delay or failure by Us to issue such written notification shall not affect, invalidate, or extinguish the liability of the remaining or replacement Customer(s) for the ongoing Fees.

8.7.We reserve the right to withhold the Deposit or proportion of Deposit from the departing Customer until such amendments to payment are agreed in writing.

8.8.If Your agreed scheduled payment fails, We reserve the right to continue to attempt the payment until successful or an alternative schedule is put in place.

12.2.An Event Outside Our Control is defined as any act or circumstance which is beyond Our reasonable control, including without limitation, any act of God, the public enemy, strike, lock-out or other industrial action, civil commotion, public demonstration, sabotage, act of vandalism, blockade, riot, invasion, insurrection, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war declared or undeclared, or threat or preparation for war, fire, lightning, explosion, storm, flood, drought, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or another natural disaster, an unforeseen increase in wholesale energy costs beyond ordinary volatility or failure of public or private telecommunications networks.

12.5.Our obligations under these Terms will be suspended and the time for performance of Our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control.

12.6.You may cancel the contract if an Event Outside Our Control takes place and You no longer wish Us to provide the Services. Please see Your cancellation rights under Clause 13. We will only cancel the contract if the Event Outside Our Control continues for longer than 30 days in accordance with Our cancellation rights in Clause 14.

13

Your Rights to Cancel and Applicable Refund

13.1You have the right to cancel your Order within 14 calendar days of signing your Order without incurring cancellation or exit fees, except as provided below for services activated or installed during this period.

13.1.1If your energy or water service begins within the 14-day cooling-off period, you may still cancel without exit fees, but you will remain liable for the supply and usage charges consumed up to the date cancellation is confirmed. Following cancellation, energy will be billed at our standard variable tariff until you switch suppliers or your tenancy ends.

13.1.2If you choose an installation date within the 14-day cooling-off period and the broadband service goes live, your right to cancel free of charge under the cooling-off period no longer applies. You will be liable for all connection, installation, and usage charges, plus early termination fees.

13.1.3If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period, no fees apply. If the service is active and a TV licence has already been purchased, you remain liable for the full cost of that quarterly licence period.

13.1.4Any advance Management Fees paid for services not yet supplied will be refunded. If services commenced during the cooling-off period, a pro-rata portion covering the active days will be retained.

13.2If you wish to cancel your Contract after the 14-day cooling-off period has passed, you must provide at least 30 calendar days’ written notice. Cancellations are only effective once all signed occupants on the Contract confirm their intention to terminate.

13.2.1A £30 cancellation fee per service per Tenant applies to water services cancelled before the end of the Minimum Term. Energy service cancellations after 14 days do not incur exit fees, but you will be billed at our standard variable tariff for ongoing supply until your tenancy concludes or you switch suppliers.

13.2.2Cancellation fees will not apply if the Contract is cancelled under Clause 13.3 (Our Default or Events Beyond Control), or if Squiggle Energy cancels the account due to outstanding debt.

13.2.3You remain liable for all utility usage, fixed charges, and Management Fees accrued up to the end of the 30 day notice period or account closure date.

13.3You may cancel the Contract with immediate effect by written notice without penalty if:

13.3.1We breach this Contract in a material way and fail to fix it within 30 days of written notification;

13.3.2We go into liquidation, administration, or receivership;

13.3.3We revise these Terms under Clause 4.1 to your material disadvantage; or

13.3.4An Event Outside Our Control affects performance for more than 30 days.

13.4If all occupants wish to end the Contract early, you must provide written confirmation from every contract holder alongside written consent from your landlord or letting agent confirming you are no longer responsible for utility bills at the Property.

13.5Upon cancellation, We will perform a final balance reconciliation:

13.5.1If your account is in debit after cancellation, We reserve the right to apply any Deposit held toward the debt and invoice you for any remaining balance.

13.5.2If your account is in credit after final billing, We will refund the remaining balance to you within 30 days.

13.5.3Cancellation processing takes up to 5 Working Days. Any active supply during this processing window will be charged at standard variable rates.

14

Our Rights To Cancel

14.1.We may have to cancel an Order before the start date for the Services due to an Event Outside Our Control or the unavailability of key personnel or key materials without which We cannot provide the Services. We will promptly contact You if this happens.

14.2.If We have to cancel an Order under Clause 14.1 and You have made any payment in advance for Services that have not been provided to You, We will refund these amounts to You.

14.3.Where We have already started work on Your Order for Services by the time We have to cancel, You will pay Us any costs We reasonably incurred in starting to fulfil the Order, and this charge will be deducted from any refund that is due to You or, if no refund is due to You, invoiced to You. We will tell You what these costs are when You contact Us. However, where You have cancelled an Order because of Our failure to comply with these Terms (except where We have been affected by an Event Outside Our Control), You do not have to make any payment to Us.

14.4.If we decide to cancel your Order, We will not charge You anything for Services You have not been supplied with.

14.5.Once We have begun to provide the Services to You, We may cancel the contract for the Services at any time by providing You with at least 30 calendar days’ notice in writing. If You have made any payment in advance for Services that have not been provided to You, We will refund these amounts to You.

14.6.We may cancel the contract for Services at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice if:

14.6.1.You do not pay Us when You are supposed to as set out in Clause 8.3. This does not affect Our right to charge You interest under Clause 8.2; or

14.6.2.You break the contract in any other material way and You do not correct or fix the situation within 14 days of Us asking You to do so in writing.

14.7.If after We cancel or terminate Your Contract, it becomes apparent that You are in debit to Us, We reserve the right to withhold any Deposit paid to Us and to demand payment of the balance for Fees relating to Services (or a proportion of the Services) We provided to You. Conversely, if You are in credit after the cancellation or termination of an agreement to provide Services, We will refund the amount within 30 days.

16.1.2.Process Your payment for such Services;

16.2.You agree that We may pass Your personal information (or those of Your Third-Party Finance Provider) to credit reference agencies and that they may keep a record of any search that they do.

16.3You consent under these Terms to Us passing Your personal details to third parties within the UK who may be able to assist You with additional relevant services. This does not affect Your statutory rights to object to this, provided You communicate this to Us in writing when making an Order or thereafter.

16.4More details of Our data protection policy can be found here Squiggle Energy Privacy Policy

17

Token Meter Usage for Fees

17.1Certain Properties may still be using Token Meters to calculate Utility or Service usage. Generally, We do not cover utilities provided by token meters, so if Your house has a token meter, We will remove it from Your payment plan. In extenuating circumstances where We cover the use of a token meter, You will be provided with a means to make prepayments. You must keep the relevant payment device provided by Us safe. Failure to do so may result in additional costs and fees for You to replace the payment device.

17.2It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that they maintain sufficient credit on their Token Meter for their usage of Utilities and Services.

17.3At the end of Your Order with Us, We reserve the right to retain any excess credit to cover outstanding Fees You owe. Should there be any excess credit on Your meter account, We will refund this to You without request.

17.4You are obligated to inform Us if You have a prepayment or token meter within Your property as it can affect Our ability to supply Your services.

18

Contract Energy Allowance

18.1We will make every effort to send notifications if You go over Your energy allowance and provide You with handy energy-saving tips. Please note that We are not liable for energy usage within properties, and the ultimate responsibility for energy usage lies with the Customer. A usage breakdown for the property is available to all Customers in their online account, and it is the Customer’s responsibility to monitor their usage appropriately.

18.2If Your property has multiple meters for the same service, it may lead to Your online usage graphs becoming inaccurate. If this is true of Your property, You will need to request an update from Our customer service team about Your energy usage.

18.3We may change Your monthly payments for gas and electricity if We notice that You are using or are likely to use a different level of energy than was estimated at the start of Your contract.

18.4We encourage You to submit regular meter readings throughout the year. Based on these readings, We will be better able to monitor Your usage and inform You whether You are under or over the allowance covered in Your payment plan. Failure to do this may result in missed usage warnings resulting to Us being unable to highlight overusage in a timely manner.

19

Meter Readings

19.1The purpose of Smart Meters is for both You and Us to review the usage of Services and ensure accurate readings. However, even where a Smart Meter is installed, regular meter readings will still need to be sent to us.

19.2Likewise, We will collect information from Your Smart Meter and You agree that We can obtain and record as necessary to manage Your Utilities usage. We will use these readings as a basis to calculate and charge Fees.

19.3If a Property does not have a Smart Meter installed and We believe it is necessary, We will bear the cost of installation through use of Our Agents/Engineers. If there is no Smart Meter installed and the Customer desires this, We may add this additional cost to Your Fees, subject to discussion and agreement with You.

19.4You are obligated to supply meter readings at the start, end and at monthly intervals throughout Your contract. If We do not receive readings, We will use estimates to determine Your energy usage.

19.5We will do Our best to notify You when We require readings. We will also attempt to send field agents to collect Your readings.

19.6We may require photographic readings in these circumstances, including but not limited to the following:

19.6.1the reading provided is significantly different from the estimates or actual meter readings We have on record; or

19.6.2We believe the meter reading is taken from a different meter to the one We have on record for the Property.

20

Deemed Contracts

20.1A Deemed Contract is a statutory contract between You and Us, which is deemed to exist because We supply Services to a property of which You are the Tenant or Owner when You have not actively agreed to that Service by us.

20.2This includes when You do not take any action to move supplier at the beginning of Your occupation of the Property or at the end of Your agreed Order with Us.

20.3In such instances, an Order will be deemed to be between Us and a Tenant or the Owner until We are contacted by another Customer.

20.4If Your previous contract period expires and We continue to supply energy to Your property, a new deemed contract will be formed between us. The deemed contract will be charged at the prevailing standard variable tariff until We agree on new contract terms.

20.4.1Any direct debits will not be transferred to Your new contract until we get further confirmation that You would like to continue to pay via direct debit. You will be required to pay on receipt of Your invoices.

20.4.2The deemed contract does not include bill splitting services, and all tenants using or consuming energy in the property will be held jointly liable for all energy invoices. If the property is unoccupied, the owner will be held liable.

21

Final Statements

21.1Upon completion of the tenancy, You are entitled to request a final statement outlining Your property’s total usage for the year and reconciling this with payments that You have made. We will make every effort to complete this process within three (3) months of the request; however, We reserve the right to extend this time in a manner We deem appropriate in relation to Our business.

21.1.1The late receipt of bills from suppliers;

21.1.2Missing or disputed meter readings;

21.1.3Intervention from a third-party representative/ombudsman;

21.2All Customers will receive a final statement but requests will be prioritised.

21.3Unlimited Plan Customers will receive a final statement which will reconcile their monthly payments against the contracted payment total.

21.3.1Statements may include cost for missing equipment, late payment fees or missed appointment fees.

21.4Any amount requested on the final statement will be automatically scheduled on Your account using Your payment method after the statement has been issued.

21.4.1If You would like to request a payment plan, We will require i) one proof of forwarding address (e.g. a utility bill or bank statement) and ii) one copy of photo identification (e.g. a driving licence or passport).

21.5Final statements can be reissued at any time following the termination of Your contract if there are alterations regarding Your billing, meter readings, payments, or liability period registered on Your account, or if new information regarding Your utilities is discovered to impact Your account balance.

22

Additional Important Terms

23.1.We may transfer Our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, and We will always notify You in writing if this happens, but this will not affect Your rights or Our obligations under these Terms.

23.2.You may only transfer Your rights or Your obligations under these Terms to another person if We agree in writing.

23.3.This contract is between You and Us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

23.4.When You take Our water service, You agree that You authorise Us to act on Your behalf with the water and sewerage suppliers from the requested start date until either the service or these terms end.

23.5.We will register Your property with the relevant water and sewerage suppliers and pay for Your water and sewerage at Your property from the requested start date until either the service or these terms end.

23.6.The owner of the property is responsible for any supply or quality issues at Your property, including repairing and maintaining Your part of the water service piping.

23.7.You agree to comply with the standard terms and conditions of the water and sewerage supplier(s) that supply Your property with water and sewerage. If You have any queries, please contact Us at any time.

23.8.Each of the paragraphs and clauses of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs and clauses will remain in full force and effect.

23.9.If We fail to insist that You perform any of Your obligations under these Terms, or if We do not enforce Our rights against You, or if We delay in doing so, that will not mean that We have waived Our rights against You and will not mean that You do not have to comply with those obligations. If We do waive a default by You, We will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that We will automatically waive any later default by You.

23.10.These Terms and the terms of any Order are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Both Parties to this Contract agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the England & Wales courts. However, if You are a resident of Northern Ireland, You may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if You are a resident of Scotland, You may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

23.11.To prove that a Tenant is liable for billing over a period of time, a Tenancy Agreement alone will not suffice. We need the full tenant name, date of birth, mobile phone number, email address and alternative physical address. Should this information not be provided, We will hold the Owner responsible for the duration of the period.

25

Unreasonable Usage Terms for Unlimited Contract

25.1.The purpose of this policy is to ensure the utilities at the property are not used for the following purposes:

  • 25.1.1 Non-Domestic
  • 25.1.2 Commercial
  • 24.1.3 Industrial

25.1.4Re-Selling Purposes

  • 25.1.5 Charging electric vehicles

25.2.If in Our opinion You are using Your utilities for any of these reasons or that the Usage is irresponsible and/or negligent, We may ask You to moderate Your Usage.

25.2.1If We find your energy usage is in breach of the Fair Usage Policy, we reserve the right to transition your account to a standard Greensaver tariff and bill you on your consumption.

25.3.Customers signing up for an unlimited package are obliged to sign up using the correct number of bedrooms in the property, regardless of the number of tenants within that property.

25.4.If, upon investigation, Squiggle Energy finds an unlimited Customer has signed up using an incorrect number of bedrooms for a property, Squiggle Energy reserves the right to backdate additional charges to the start of the contract to correct underpayment.

Electricity & Gas

25.5.Our unreasonable usage figure has been determined using the Ofgem Typical Domestic Consumption Values, published April 1st, 2020.

25.6.Typical Domestic Consumption Values (TDCVs) are industry standard values for the annual gas and electricity usage of a typical domestic consumer. Below, You will see how Our unreasonable limits compare to standard consumption at a property based on house size.

Water

25.7.Your water allowance is a monetary value. This has been calculated using the average metered water usage per person, as calculated by the Consumer Council for Water. The Consumer Council for Water is a non-departmental public body whose sponsor department is Defra. CCWater is independent of both the regulator, Ofwat, and the water companies.

25.8.This Clause only applies to properties with a water meter (about 50% of the UK housing stock). Rateable values are fixed and therefore any charges cannot be classed as over-usage. For more information on the difference between meters and rateable values, please see our FAQs.

25.9.Water charges vary massively around the country, but We will only issue additional charges if Your water bill is >10% higher than the Squiggle Energy payment plan charges (per annum).

25.10.Unlimited package Customers will be warned when they exceed the unreasonable usage policy and will be contacted to discuss their payment plan options to avoid paying for additional usage at the end of their contract.

25.11.Any usage exceeding the Unreasonable Usage Policy laid out above will be charged to You at the end of Your tenancy. For energy, this will be charged at the location-specific energy price cap level of the time. For water, an additional monetary value will be added.

27

Third-party Suppliers

27.1It may be necessary for Us to pay third-party suppliers on Your behalf to ensure full coverage of utility services during Your contract period. If We need to pay third-party suppliers on Your behalf, these are the terms which apply:

27.4We will only cover the cost of gas and electricity within Your contract dates.

27.5If the third-party invoice requested payment far in excess of payments made to Us, We may decide to either: not pay the invoice, request further payment from You or apply the charge in full to Your final statement before We make the payment on Your behalf.

28

Disconnection

28.1We can suspend or disconnect the supply if:

28.1.1You have not paid your bill on time;

28.1.2You are in material breach of the Contract;

28.1.3We have reason to believe your Metering Equipment may have been damaged or tampered with; and/or

28.1.4We are required to do so by any law, code or agreement.

28.2If We disconnect the supply, you are required to pay:

28.2.1Our reasonable costs to disconnect the supply; and

Your Information

30.1We agree that we will use any personal data that you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is available on our website at https://squiggle.energy/. We may run checks on you (and anyone else also responsible for payment) at Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention agencies, initially and periodically to help us assess your ability to pay for your Energy bills. When we run this check, the credit reference agency will record the fact that a check was made (even in the event that you do not become a Squiggle Energy customer).

30.2If you have an account with us, we will routinely share information about your payment record with credit reference agencies. If we consider that your account is in default (i.e. you have not paid us and are in breach of your Contract) we will notify you and if you do not pay us, we will report the unpaid debt to credit reference agencies who will record that default on your credit file.

30.3If you want to see what information credit-reference and fraud-prevention agencies have about you, you can contact the following UK agencies. They will charge you a small fee.

30.5We will always process personal data fairly and lawfully in accordance with your rights.

The processing of all data will always be necessary to provide our product and services and will not unduly prejudice your privacy.

30.6It may be necessary to share your data with third parties, including any partner if you are served under a white-label supply arrangement, in order to process your data and comply with industry obligations.
