7. PROVIDING THE GOODS

7.1 The costs of supply, delivery and installation of the Goods will be as set out in the Sales Contract.

7.2 When we will provide the Goods. We will arrange a mutually convenient date for delivery and/or installation prior to any delivery and/or installation taking place. If you provided us with express consent to install during your statutory 14-day cancellation period, we will do our best to install the Goods either upon delivery of the last component of the Goods (the Delivery Date) or within 7 days of the Delivery Date.

7.3 We may need certain information from you so that we can deliver and install the Goods, for example, instructions regarding access. We will contact you to ask for this information if needed. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Sales Contract (and Clause 11.1.2 will apply) or postpone or re-schedule delivery and/or installation of the Goods. We will not be responsible for supplying the Goods late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.4 What happens if there is a delay.

7.4.1 If our supply of the Goods is delayed then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. If there is a risk of substantial delay or if we confirm we are unable to deliver the Goods to you, you may contact us to end the Sales Contract and receive a refund for any Goods you have paid for but not received. Nothing in this Clause 7.4 affects your statutory rights and you retain the right to cancel the Sales Contract as set out in Clause 9.

7.4.2 If no one is available at your address to meet the Octopus engineer when they arrive to install the Goods, we will get in touch to inform you of how to rearrange the Octopus technician’s visit.

7.4.3 If you do not allow us to access to your property to install the Goods as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may postpone and/or re-schedule installation. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property, we may end the Sales Contract and Clause 11 will apply.

7.4.4 You have legal rights if we deliver any Goods late. Subject to clause 7.4.6, If we miss the delivery deadline for any Goods then you may treat the Sales Contract as at an end straight away if we confirm that we will not be able to deliver the Goods to you.

7.4.5 You may reschedule your delivery date, but you must give us at least 24 hours’ notice (and such notice must be provided on a working day) if you want to do this, or we may, at our discretion, charge you a fee of up to £150 as an administrative service fee. To reschedule your appointment or cancel your Sales Contract pursuant to the terms set out above please call us on 0808 196 6842 or email us at the address set out in the Product Terms for your Good.

7.4.6 We may reschedule your delivery date at our reasonable discretion, which will affect your wait time. Where we change your date, the periods and right of cancellation in clause 9 will remain in force.

7.5 Responsibility for the Goods.

7.5.1 Goods will become your responsibility from the time that we deliver the Goods at the address you provided to us.

7.5.2 You will own the Goods once we have received payment in full.

7.5.3 Where applicable for your Goods we will provide you with handover documentation once installation of the Goods has been completed.

8. YOUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SALES CONTRACT

8.1 You agree to:

8.1.1 promptly provide us with any information we request and comply with our reasonable requirements;

8.1.2 make all necessary preparations to your property for your installation as set forth in your Sales Contract;

8.1.3 provide us with safe, free and unobstructed access to your property to carry out the installation; and

8.1.4 comply with all applicable laws, planning authority instructions, and obtain all necessary consents which we require for us to install the Good; and

8.1.5 comply with any additional Customer obligations set out in the Product Terms.

8.2 If you fail to cooperate with us or meet these obligations, we may cancel or delay your installation and charge you a cancellation fee which will only cover our reasonable costs incurred in these circumstances and which shall not exceed £150.

9. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE SALES CONTRACT

9.1 You end your Sales Contract with us in certain circumstances. Your rights when you end the Sales Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the Sales Contract. You can end the Sales Contract for the following reasons:

9.1.1 if what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the Sales Contract (or to get the Goods repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back) – see Clause 12;

9.1.2 if you want to end the Sales Contract because of something we have done in breach of these terms, as set out in Clause 9.2 or

9.1.3 if you have just changed your mind about the Goods per Clause 9.3, you may be able to get a refund if you provide us with notice at any time from placing your order online until the end of the cooling off period, but this will be subject to deductions and you will have to pay our reasonable costs incurred, including the costs of any uninstallation, collection and destruction if required, together with administrative and operational costs (such as scaffolding costs) incurred. We will provide a quote for these costs should you contact us to discuss the uninstallation and removal of your Goods. As noted at paragraph 10.3, if the installation work has been completed at this point, this could mean that you are charged a significant proportion of the agreed price, as it is likely to be impossible to re-fit the Goods to another property.

9.1.4 Where you are cancelling delivery and installation of your Goods, we request that you give us at least 24 hours’ notice prior to your date of installation. This helps us ensure we can serve all customers efficiently.

9.2 Ending the Sales Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a Sales Contract for a reason set out at Clause 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 below, the Sales Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Goods which have not been provided to you. The reasons you can end this Sales Contract under this clause 9.2 are:

9.2.1 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Goods you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed; or

9.2.2 you have a legal right to end the Sales Contract because of something we have done wrong, and depending on the nature of our breach of these terms, you may be entitled to compensation pursuant to your rights as a consumer.

9.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms at clause 9.4.

9.4 You have 14 days after the day you receive (or someone you nominate receives) the Goods, in which period you may cancel the Sales Contract. Where your Goods are split into several deliveries over different days, you have 14 days after the day you receive (or someone you nominates receives) the last delivery to change your mind about the Goods and cancel the Sales Contract.

9.5 If you would like us to install the Goods during the cancellation period referenced in clause 9.4 above, you will need to provide express written consent to install during that period. The form required for signing shall be included in your Sales Contract pack. Should you later decide to cancel the contract within your 14-day cancellation period, then you will have to pay reasonable charges for goods and services supplied up to the date that you cancel and for making good your property. This will include the reasonable fees for the work done so far and the reduced value of the Goods. Please note that the Goods, once installed, will be considered bespoke as they have been fitted to the requirements of your property.

10. HOW YOU MAY END THE SALES CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF

YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND)

10.1 To end the Sales Contract with us, you should let us know by calling customer services on 0808 196 6842 or email us at the address set out in the Product Terms. You should provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address. You may also provide us with the cancellation notice set out at the schedule to these terms with your email or written cancellation, but we do not require this.

10.2 If you are entitled to, and choose to, end the Sales Contract pursuant to your rights under this Agreement or the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 after the Goods have been installed, you must contact us to arrange any uninstallation of the Goods by us. Please call customer services on 0808 196 6842 or email us at the address set out in the Product Terms to arrange the uninstallation. You must allow us to uninstall the Goods in these circumstances. If you end the Sales Contract for any reason after Goods have been dispatched to you or you have received them and the Goods have not been installed, you must let us know and arrange a time for collection with us.

10.3 We will pay the costs of return or uninstallation if the Goods are faulty or misdescribed, or we are legally required to do so because of something we’ve done wrong. In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind during the 14 days following receipt of the Goods ordered pursuant to clauses 9.1.1 or 9.1.2) we may charge you for the reasonable costs and fees incurred in relation to the Goods and services received prior to cancellation. If we have commenced work prior to the expiry of the 14-day cancellation period with your consent, we will charge you reasonable fees for the work done so far and the reduced value of the Goods. If the installation work has been completed, this could mean that you are charged a significant proportion of the agreed price, as it is likely to be impossible to re-fit the Goods to another property.

10.4 We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:

10.4.1 for Goods which we have not offered to collect, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Goods back to us. For information about how to return Goods to us, see Clause 10.2.

10.4.2 In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of you telling us that you have changed your mind.

11. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

11.1 We may end the Sales Contract if you break it. We may end the Sales Contract at any time by writing to you if:

11.1.1 you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 28 days of us reminding you that payment is due; or

11.1.2 Where you have signed the Sales Contract and we are unable to contact you for a period of thirty (30) days following reasonable attempts to make contact;

11.1.3 you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Goods, for example, instructions regarding access to your property.

11.2 If we end the Sales Contract in the situations set out in Clause 11.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Goods we have not provided.

12. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GOODS

12.1 If you have any questions or complaints about the Goods, you should contact us. You can find details of who to contact in the complaints policy provided in your Product Terms.

12.2 We will install your Goods with reasonable care and skill. Your Goods may be supplied with a warranty provided by the manufacturer of the product to cover defects in the Goods, depending on the relevant Goods and manufacturer in question. Any applicable manufacturer warranty documentation will be provided to you following installation of your Goods, and we will assist you with making a warranty claim should your Goods be defective under that manufacturer warranty.

12.3 In addition, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with the Sales Contract and your rights as a consumer. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

13. PRICE AND PAYMENT

13.1 The price of the Goods (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the Sales Contract. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Goods advised to you are correct. However please see Clause 13.6 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Goods you order.

13.2 If the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Sales Contract and the date that we supply the Goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

13.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before providing any quotes so that, where the Goods’ correct price at the date of the Sales Contract is less than our stated price at the date of the Sales Contract, we will charge the lower amount. If the Goods’ correct price at the date of the Sales Contract is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions and no contract will have been entered into.

13.4 We accept payment with American Express, China UnionPay, Discover & Diners Club, Japan Credit Bureau, Visa and Mastercard. When you must pay depends on what you are buying, and will be detailed in the Product Terms. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the Goods to you.

13.5 If you do not make any payment due to us under the Sales Contract by the Due Date we may:

13.5.1 charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount;

13.5.2 Pause or cancel any tariff linked to the Goods;

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

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

13.5.5 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, including through any debt collection agency.

13.6 If you think an invoice is wrong you must contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

14. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

14.1 If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of us breaking this Sales Contract or us failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Sales Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

14.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Goods as summarised at Clause 12.2.

14.3 We will make good any damage to your property caused by us when installing the Goods. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while installing the Goods. In addition to your statutory rights, we separately guarantee that our installation work shall be conducted with reasonable care and skill (the Installation Warranty). Should you suffer any damage to your property in the five years following the installation because of our failure to install in accordance with the Installation Warranty, we shall remedy the damage you have suffered.

14.4 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Goods for domestic and private use. If you use the Goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14.5 Octopus does not limit or exclude its liability where doing so would be unlawful. Otherwise, and subject to clauses 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, and 14.4 of these General Terms, our total aggregate liability under your Sales Contract shall not exceed the sum of £30,000.

15. DATA PROTECTION

15.1 You agree that we may use any personal data that you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy which is available on our website at https://octopus.energy/policies/privacy-policy/, and as set out in these terms. You further agree that we may share your personal data with distribution network operators and electricity systems operators (known as DSOs and ESOs respectively) for the purposes of submitting an application for installation of your Goods at your property, and such personal data shall be handled in accordance with that DSO or ESO’s privacy policy in place from time to time.

15.2 Further provisions relating to data protection are set out in the Product Specific Terms.

16. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

16.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your statutory rights or rights under the Sales Contract.

16.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

16.3 Nobody else has any rights under this Sales Contract. This Sales Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither we or you will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the Sales Contract or make any changes to these terms.

16.6 These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Goods in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Goods in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Goods in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

EV CHARGERS PRODUCT TERMS

1.INTRODUCTION

1.1 These terms, together with the general terms and conditions of sale and installation (known as the Contract Terms), and your Estimated Quote (defined below) and, any Additional Works Quote (if applicable) shall form the contract between you and Octopus Energy Services Limited (company number 10434397) (“we”, “us”, “our” and “Octopus”) for the sale, purchase and installation of your charge point. Any defined terms used in these Product Terms which are not defined here shall have the meaning given to them in the Contract Terms. Our ability to provide you a charge point under the Sales Contract is dependent on the information you have provided to us in your Online Customer Journey. If any of this information changes you must let us know immediately as it may impact your Estimated Quote and/or our ability to complete your installation. By completing payment you confirm that you agree to be bound by these terms.

1.2 For the purposes of these terms:

1.2.1 “EV Goods” means electric vehicle charge point hardware, cabling, wiring, fittings, and safety devices installed as required; and

1.2.2 “Estimated Quote” means the Standard Quote and/or the Additional Works Quote, as applicable.

2. ELIGIBILITY

2.1 To be eligible for us to install the EV Charger at your property you must complete the Online Customer Journey, have the legal right to have the EV Charger installed (both internal and external to your home) and obtain any required planning or building approvals required for your installation (collectively referred to as the “Eligibility Criteria”).

2.2 Should you need to amend or update your Eligibility Criteria information, you must inform us as soon as you become aware of the change using the contact information in these terms, as it may impact our ability to complete the sale and installation.

3. THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY FOR EV GOODS

3.1 In order to place an order for EV Goods, you will need to complete the Online Customer Journey which can be accessed using the following link. You are responsible for making sure the information provided online is accurate and complete.

3.2 Following your completion of the Online Customer Journey we will generate an Estimated Quote which will incorporate the General Terms and Product Terms, which you can accept and pay for online. Once we receive payment, we contact you via email to complete a remote pre-installation survey. Making the payment will constitute your acceptance of our offer and at this point the binding Sales Contract will come into existence between you and us, but please note that our obligation to deliver and install EV Goods under this Contract is subject to completion of any Additional Works required for the installation of your EV Goods being completed.

3.3 If you do not make payment for the EV Goods, we will not proceed with your installation and we will refund any payment you may have made to us for the EV Goods.

3.4 We will review the information provided in the pre-installation survey. Occasionally, we may identify that we need more information or works to be completed to proceed with the installation safely (Additional Works).

3.5 If no Additional Works are required to complete the installation, we will proceed with scheduling an installation date for your EV charger.

3.6 If Additional Works are required, we will notify you of our findings via email. We will inform you as part of our findings where Additional Works must be organised by you and completed by a third-party before we can proceed with an install (for example, any groundwork for hiding cable runs), to the extent we haven’t already informed you as part of the Online Customer Journey. If there are any Additional Works which we can provide, and there are additional costs associated with such Additional Works, we will generate an Additional Works Quote. This will be shared with you by email so you can accept the quote. Payment must be made within 14 days of receiving an Additional Works Quote. If you do not wish to proceed, you can decline the Additional Works Quote and we will cancel the Sales Contract and issue a full refund for any previous payments.

3.7 Where Additional Works must be completed before we can schedule your EV charger installation (for example, any groundworks), we need you to provide confirmation of when these works are complete, so we can then schedule your EV charger installation.

3.8 If upon review we find that we are unable to fulfil your order and/or complete an installation because you have not fulfilled the conditions required for us to complete delivery or installation, we will inform you of this via a phone call or email and will not charge you for the EV Goods and return any sums you have paid.

4. OUR CHARGES AND OLEV GRANT APPLICATION

4.1 If we consider your property is likely to be suitable for the EV Goods then we will provide you with a price for this work which assumes that your premises require a standard installation service only, as described on our website (a Standard Installation).

4.2 Any Quote that we provide will be valid for 14 days. To accept the Estimated Quote you will need to make full payment of the amount stated in the Estimated Quote provided at the end of the Online Customer Journey via the link provided.

4.3 Quotes do not include changes to your home’s electrical service that your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) may require, such as unlooping, or a three-phase (3-phase) power connection. If your home requires a main fuse (service cut-out) upgrade, we may be able to undertake these works for you, but where we are not allowed to do these additional works, your DNO may levy a separate charge for doing them.

4.4 Any Quote that we provide will be valid for fourteen (14) days. After such time, we may, at our discretion, elect to issue a new Quote.

4.5 In the event that we issue a Quote with incorrect details (including price), we will issue a corrected Quote based on the information you provided.

4.6 Where you intend to apply for the government OLEV EVHS Grant we will use the information you provide us to submit the application form on your behalf. Where your application is unsuccessful or it ceases to be available, you will need to pay the difference to us before we can proceed with your installation.
