Welcome to Yourenergy™ New Zealand’s on-line energy website where you can list your power and gas for free. In registering with Yourenergy™ you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1.1 Acceptance of terms and conditions:
The terms and conditions are the terms on which Yourenergy NZ Ltd referred in this agreement as “Yourenergy™” offers you as a registered user to access to the services offered on the Yourenergy Website. By registering with Yourenergy™ you accept these terms and conditions. If you do not accept these terms and conditions, please do not proceed with registration.
1.2 Services:
Yourenergy™ provides a venue to introduce registered users who want to auction their power and gas consumption. Yourenergy™ does not take any part in the sale of energy other than by providing our Website as a venue for members who register with us. If a bid is accepted by the registered user (you), a contract of sale will be formed between the buyer and the seller directly. We do not act as agent for either party and do not participate in any sale or transaction between you and the Energy Supplier. Whilst though some of the Services are being referred to as an auction, Yourenergy™ is not an auctioneer (whether under the Auctioneers Act 2013 or otherwise).
1.3 At your own risk:
Transactions and information shared between you and suppliers bidding are conducted entirely at your own risk. You agree that Yourenergy™ takes no responsibility or liability for any misconduct of any of its registered users or suppliers including, without limitation, members that have registered under false pretenses. Yourenergy™ gives no undertakings, representations, or warranties in relation to energy services sold on the Website. We encourage you to check carefully supplier trading terms before acceptance.
1.4. Auction length:
Yourenergy™ auction length is 5 working days from listing to close. This may be extended in the event of a TOU meter where we require uploading of data from your current retailer.
1.5. After close of Auction:
Yourenergy™ will contact you immediately at the close of the auction to accept the winning bid. You have 48 hours to accept this bid. If your bid is not accepted within this time the offer is withdrawn.
1.6 Security:
We have verified your site address through your ICP provided. This is required for the supplier to verify the address to which energy is to be supplied.
1.7 Password security:
We have endeavoured to protect your identity through you having access via your own password. Please ensure that your password is protected.
1.8 Member Credit worthiness:
As part of Yourenergy™ terms and conditions, you have agreed to a payment method of either direct debit or credit card. This is for the benefit for the supplier to appease their payment terms.
1.9. Fixed Pricing Agreements:
You understand that the energy cost is the only element that can be fixed by the supplier in your auction. These are also outlined in the terms with your winning supplier. Any changes in network charges, meter fees, levies or taxes which are beyond the control of the supplier can be passed on. 2.0 REGISTERING AS A BUSINESS MEMBER
