Deposit-bond This clause applies only if this contract says the vendor has agreed to accept a deposit-bond for the deposit (or part of it). The purchaser must provide the original deposit-bond to the vendor’s solicitor (or if no solicitor the depositholder) at or before the making of this contract and this time is essential. If the deposit-bond has an expiry date and completion does not occur by the date which is 14 days before the expiry date, the purchaser must serve a replacement deposit-bond at least 7 days before the expiry date. The time for service is essential. The vendor must approve a replacement deposit-bond if – 3.4.1 it is from the same issuer and for the same amount as the earlier deposit-bond; and 3.4.2 it has an expiry date at least three months after its date of issue. A breach of clauses 3.2 or 3.3 entitles the vendor to terminate. The right to terminate is lost as soon as – 3.5.1 the purchaser serves a replacement deposit-bond; or 3.5.2 the deposit is paid in full under clause 2. Clauses 3.3 and 3.4 can operate more than once. If the purchaser serves a replacement deposit-bond, the vendor must serve the earlier deposit-bond. The amount of any deposit-bond does not form part of the price for the purposes of clause 16.7. The vendor must give the purchaser the deposit-bond – 3.9.1 on completion; or 3.9.2 if this contract is rescinded. If this contract is terminated by the vendor – 3.10.1 normally, the vendor can immediately demand payment from the issuer of the deposit-bond; or 3.10.2 if the purchaser serves prior to termination a notice disputing the vendor’s right to terminate, the vendor must forward the deposit-bond (or its proceeds if called up) to the depositholder as stakeholder. If this contract is terminated by the purchaser – 3.11.1 normally, the vendor must give the purchaser the deposit-bond; or 3.11.2 if the vendor serves prior to termination a notice disputing the purchaser’s right to terminate, the vendor must forward the deposit-bond (or its proceeds if called up) to the depositholder as stakeholder.

Land – 2019 edition If the vendor accepts a bond or guarantee for part of the deposit, clauses 2.1 to 2.5 apply only to the balance. If any of the deposit or of the balance of the price is paid before completion to the vendor or as the vendor directs, it is a charge on the land in favour of the purchaser until termination by the vendor or completion, subject to any existing right. If each party tells the depositholder that the deposit is to be invested, the depositholder is to invest the deposit (at the risk of the party who becomes entitled to it) with a bank, in an interest-bearing account in NSW, payable at call, with interest to be reinvested, and pay the interest to the parties equally, after deduction of all proper government taxes and financial institution charges and other charges.

2.7 2.8

Error or misdescription Normally, the purchaser can (but only before completion) claim compensation for an error or misdescription in this contract (as to the property, the title or anything else and whether substantial or not). This clause applies even if the purchaser did not take notice of or rely on anything in this contract containing or giving rise to the error or misdescription. However, this clause does not apply to the extent the purchaser knows the true position.

The purchaser cannot rescind or terminate only because of a defect in title to or quality of the inclusions. Normally, the purchaser cannot make a claim or requisition or rescind or terminate or require the vendor to change the nature of the title disclosed in this contract (for example, to remove a caution evidencing qualified title, or to lodge a plan of survey as regards limited title).

Compliance with work orders Normally, the vendor must by completion comply with a work order made on or before the contract date and if this contract is completed the purchaser must comply with any other work order. If the purchaser complies with a work order, and this contract is rescinded or terminated, the vendor must pay the expense of compliance to the purchaser. Certificates and inspections The vendor must do everything reasonable to enable the purchaser, subject to the rights of any tenant – to have the property inspected to obtain any certificate or report reasonably required; to apply (if necessary in the name of the vendor) for – 12.2.1 any certificate that can be given in respect of the property under legislation; or 12.2.2 a copy of any approval, certificate, consent, direction, notice or order in respect of the property given under legislation, even if given after the contract date; and to make 1 inspection of the property in the 3 days before a time appointed for completion. Goods and services tax (GST) Terms used in this clause which are not defined elsewhere in this contract and have a defined meaning in the GST Act have the same meaning in this clause. Normally, if a party must pay the price or any other amount to the other party under this contract, GST is not to be added to the price or amount. If under this contract a party must make an adjustment or payment for an expense of another party or pay an expense payable by or to a third party (for example, under clauses 14 or 20.7) – 13.3.1 the party must adjust or pay on completion any GST added to or included in the expense; but 13.3.2 the amount of the expense must be reduced to the extent the party receiving the adjustment or payment (or the representative member of a GST group of which that party is a member) is entitled to an input tax credit for the expense; and 13.3.3 if the adjustment or payment under this contract is consideration for a taxable supply, an amount for GST must be added at the GST rate. If this contract says this sale is the supply of a going concern – 13.4.1 the parties agree the supply of the property is a supply of a going concern; 13.4.2 the vendor must, between the contract date and completion, carry on the enterprise conducted on the land in a proper and business-like way; 13.4.3 if the purchaser is not registered by the date for completion, the parties must complete and the purchaser must pay on completion, in addition to the price, an amount being the price multiplied by the GST rate ("the retention sum"). The retention sum is to be held by the depositholder and dealt with as follows – ● if within 3 months of completion the purchaser serves a letter from the Australian Taxation Office stating the purchaser is registered with a date of effect of registration on or before completion, the depositholder is to pay the retention sum to the purchaser; but ● if the purchaser does not serve that letter within 3 months of completion, the depositholder is to pay the retention sum to the vendor; and 13.4.4 if the vendor, despite clause 13.4.1, serves a letter from the Australian Taxation Office stating the vendor has to pay GST on the supply, the purchaser must pay to the vendor on demand the amount of GST assessed. Normally, the vendor promises the margin scheme will not apply to the supply of the property. If this contract says the margin scheme is to apply in making the taxable supply, the parties agree that the margin scheme is to apply to the sale of the property. If this contract says the sale is not a taxable supply – 13.7.1 the purchaser promises that the property will not be used and represents that the purchaser does not intend the property (or any part of the property) to be used in a way that could make the sale a taxable supply to any extent; and 13.7.2 the purchaser must pay the vendor on completion in addition to the price an amount calculated by multiplying the price by the GST rate if this sale is a taxable supply to any extent because of – ● a breach of clause 13.7.1; or ● something else known to the purchaser but not the vendor. If this contract says this sale is a taxable supply in full and does not say the margin scheme applies to the property, the vendor must pay the purchaser on completion an amount of one-eleventh of the price if –

Adjustments Normally, the vendor is entitled to the rents and profits and will be liable for all rates, water, sewerage and drainage service and usage charges, land tax, levies and all other periodic outgoings up to and including the adjustment date after which the purchaser will be entitled and liable. The parties must make any necessary adjustment on completion. If an amount that is adjustable under this contract has been reduced under legislation, the parties must on completion adjust the reduced amount. The parties must not adjust surcharge land tax (as defined in the Land Tax Act 1956) but must adjust any other land tax for the year current at the adjustment date – 14.4.1 only if land tax has been paid or is payable for the year (whether by the vendor or by a predecessor in title) and this contract says that land tax is adjustable; 14.4.2 by adjusting the amount that would have been payable if at the start of the year – ● the person who owned the land owned no other land; ● the land was not subject to a special trust or owned by a non-concessional company; and ● if the land (or part of it) had no separate taxable value, by calculating its separate taxable value on a proportional area basis. If any other amount that is adjustable under this contract relates partly to the land and partly to other land, the parties must adjust it on a proportional area basis. Normally, the vendor can direct the purchaser to produce a settlement cheque on completion to pay an amount adjustable under this contract and if so – 14.6.1 the amount is to be treated as if it were paid; and 14.6.2 the cheque must be forwarded to the payee immediately after completion (by the purchaser if the cheque relates only to the property or by the vendor in any other case). If on completion the last bill for a water, sewerage or drainage usage charge is for a period ending before the adjustment date, the vendor is liable for an amount calculated by dividing the bill by the number of days in the period then multiplying by the number of unbilled days up to and including the adjustment date. The vendor is liable for any amount recoverable for work started on or before the contract date on the property or any adjoining footpath or road.

Land – 2019 edition 13.8.1 this sale is not a taxable supply in full; or 13.8.2 the margin scheme applies to the property (or any part of the property). If this contract says this sale is a taxable supply to an extent – 13.9.1 clause 13.7.1 does not apply to any part of the property which is identified as being a taxable supply; and 13.9.2 the payments mentioned in clauses 13.7 and 13.8 are to be recalculated by multiplying the relevant payment by the proportion of the price which represents the value of that part of the property to which the clause applies (the proportion to be expressed as a number between 0 and 1). Any evidence of value must be obtained at the expense of the vendor. Normally, on completion the vendor must give the recipient of the supply a tax invoice for any taxable supply by the vendor by or under this contract. The vendor does not have to give the purchaser a tax invoice if the margin scheme applies to a taxable supply. If the vendor is liable for GST on rents or profits due to issuing an invoice or receiving consideration before completion, any adjustment of those amounts must exclude an amount equal to the vendor’s GST liability. If the purchaser must make a GSTRW payment the purchaser must – 13.13.1 at least 5 days before the date for completion, serve evidence of submission of a GSTRW payment notification form to the Australian Taxation Office by the purchaser or, if a direction under clause 4.3 has been served, by the transferee named in the transfer served with that direction; 13.13.2 produce on completion a settlement cheque for the GSTRW payment payable to the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation; 13.13.3 forward the settlement cheque to the payee immediately after completion; and 13.13.4 serve evidence of receipt of payment of the GSTRW payment and a copy of the settlement date confirmation form submitted to the Australian Taxation Office.

Completion ● Vendor On completion the vendor must give the purchaser any document of title that relates only to the property. If on completion the vendor has possession or control of a document of title that relates also to other property, the vendor must produce it as and where necessary. Normally, on completion the vendor must cause the legal title to the property (being an estate in fee simple) to pass to the purchaser free of any mortgage or other interest, subject to any necessary registration. The legal title to the property does not pass before completion.

Possession Normally, the vendor must give the purchaser vacant possession of the property on completion. The vendor does not have to give vacant possession if – 17.2.1 this contract says that the sale is subject to existing tenancies; and 17.2.2 the contract discloses the provisions of the tenancy (for example, by attaching a copy of the lease and any relevant memorandum or variation). Normally, the purchaser can claim compensation (before or after completion) or rescind if any of the land is affected by a protected tenancy (a tenancy affected by Schedule 2, Part 7 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010). Possession before completion This clause applies only if the vendor gives the purchaser possession of the property before completion. The purchaser must not before completion – 18.2.1 let or part with possession of any of the property; 18.2.2 make any change or structural alteration or addition to the property; or 18.2.3 contravene any agreement between the parties or any direction, document, legislation, notice or order affecting the property. The purchaser must until completion – 18.3.1 keep the property in good condition and repair having regard to its condition at the giving of possession; and 18.3.2 allow the vendor or the vendor's authorised representative to enter and inspect it at all reasonable times. The risk as to damage to the property passes to the purchaser immediately after the purchaser enters into possession. If the purchaser does not comply with this clause, then without affecting any other right of the vendor – 18.5.1 the vendor can before completion, without notice, remedy the non-compliance; and 18.5.2 if the vendor pays the expense of doing this, the purchaser must pay it to the vendor with interest at the rate prescribed under s101 Civil Procedure Act 2005. If this contract is rescinded or terminated the purchaser must immediately vacate the property. If the parties or their solicitors on their behalf do not agree in writing to a fee or rent, none is payable.

Time limits in these provisions If the time for something to be done or to happen is not stated in these provisions, it is a reasonable time. If there are conflicting times for something to be done or to happen, the latest of those times applies. The time for one thing to be done or to happen does not extend the time for another thing to be done or to happen. If the time for something to be done or to happen is the 29th, 30th or 31st day of a month, and the day does not exist, the time is instead the last day of the month. If the time for something to be done or to happen is a day that is not a business day, the time is extended to the next business day, except in the case of clauses 2 and 3.2. Normally, the time by which something must be done is fixed but not essential.

Anything attached to this contract is part of this contract. An area, bearing or dimension in this contract is only approximate. If a party consists of 2 or more persons, this contract benefits and binds them separately and together. A party's solicitor can receive any amount payable to the party under this contract or direct in writing that it is to be paid to another person.

An obligation to pay an expense of another party of doing something is an obligation to pay – 20.7.1 if the party does the thing personally - the reasonable cost of getting someone else to do it; or 20.7.2 if the party pays someone else to do the thing - the amount paid, to the extent it is reasonable. Rights under clauses 11, 13, 14, 17, 24, 30 and 31 continue after completion, whether or not other rights continue. The vendor does not promise, represent or state that the purchaser has any cooling off rights. The vendor does not promise, represent or state that any attached survey report is accurate or current. A reference to any legislation (including any percentage or rate specified in legislation) is also a reference to any corresponding later legislation. Each party must do whatever is necessary after completion to carry out the party's obligations under this contract. Neither taking possession nor serving a transfer of itself implies acceptance of the property or the title. The details and information provided in this contract (for example, on pages 1 - 3) are, to the extent of each party's knowledge, true, and are part of this contract. Where this contract provides for choices, a choice in BLOCK CAPITALS applies unless a different choice is marked.

However, the purchaser can rescind if – 23.9.1 the special expenses of the owners corporation at the later of the contract date and the creation of the owners corporation when calculated on a unit entitlement basis (and, if more than one lot or a higher scheme is involved, added together), less any contribution paid by the vendor, are more than 1% of the price; 23.9.2 in the case of the lot or a relevant lot or former lot in a higher scheme, a proportional unit entitlement for the lot is disclosed in this contract but the lot has a different proportional unit entitlement at the contract date or at any time before completion; 23.9.3 a change before the contract date or before completion in the scheme or a higher scheme materially prejudices the purchaser and is not disclosed in this contract; or 23.9.4 a resolution is passed by the owners corporation before the contract date or before completion to give to the owners in the scheme for their consideration a strata renewal plan that has not lapsed at the contract date and there is not attached to this contract a strata renewal proposal or the strata renewal plan. ● Notices, certificates and inspections The purchaser must give the vendor 2 copies of an information notice addressed to the owners corporation and signed by the purchaser.

thank you for choosing us. Terms and Conditions – Body Corporates

Effective July 2020


Real Utilities Retailer and Real Utilities Operator Utility Services Agreement Terms and Conditions – Residential Customers and Body Corporates 1

with us for the Premises. Where provisions in this Agreement apply only in respect of Small Customers or Other Customers (as the case may be), this is specified in the Agreement.

Introduction and important information These are the terms and conditions that apply to the supply of Utility Services at your Premises on the Embedded Utility Networks. The party providing the Utility Services to you:

(a)

in relation to the Network Services, is Real Utilities Operator; and

(b)

in relation to each other Utility Service, is Real Utilities Retailer,

Where and for so long as a Real Utilities Group Member is providing your Premises with any of Electricity Services, Network Services, or Hot Water Services during the term of the Agreement, then those services will be a ‘Utility Service’ for the purposes of this Agreement. If we have agreed with you that we are not providing you with one or more of these utility services, then that service is not a ‘Utility Service’ for the purposes of this Agreement.

and “we” or “us” is used in these Terms and Conditions to refer to either or both of Real Utilities Retailer and Real Utilities Operator in relation to the respective Utility Services as the context requires.

You have a right to cancel this Agreement in respect of any Utility Service (excluding Network Services) within 10 Business Days starting on the day after you entered this Agreement (“Cooling-Off Period”). To cancel this Agreement during the CoolingOff Period, you can call us on 1300 16 16 68 or complete the cancellation notice available on our Website. If you cancel this Agreement in respect of any Utility Service during the Cooling-Off Period:

We have given you a Registration Form that you have completed which (among other things) specifies you as the customer or “account holder” (“you”). By completing the Registration Form: (a)

you agree that you have entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) for the supply of Utility Services at the Premises on these Terms and Conditions; and

(b)

you acknowledge and give your consent to these Terms and Conditions, including the credit information consents contained in clause 18.

(a)

you will only need to pay charges for that Utility Service to the extent they were provided before you cancelled the Agreement; and

The Agreement consists of:

(b)

in the case of Electricity Services only – you must enter into a contract for the sale of electricity with an Electricity Retailer if you want to continue receiving electricity at the Premises. If you do this, we may still need to charge you for Network Charges as a customer being physically supplied electricity through the Embedded Electricity Network under this Agreement.

(a)

the Registration Form;

(b)

these Terms and Conditions;

(c)

the Building Schedule;

(d)

the Energy Price Fact Sheets, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) relevant to the Utility Services; and

(e)

any addendum or appendix we provide to you from time to time that is stated to form part of this Agreement. The Agreement applies to Residential Customers and Body Corporates for the supply of Utility Services to Premises located within a Residential Building sited in a residential strata scheme if the Premises is connected to any Embedded Utility Network(s) and you do not have another contract for the supply of Utility Services

As the owner of a portion of the Embedded Electricity Network, Real Utilities Operator is exempt from the requirement to be a Registered Network Service Provider. The Owners Corporation is also exempt from this requirement as a person considered under the Energy Laws to have control of the Embedded Electricity Network and who also owns a portion of the Embedded Electricity Network. Accordingly, neither Real Utilities Operator nor the Owners Corporation are subject to all the obligations

1


of a Registered Network Service Provider. This means that you may not have the same consumer protections as you would if you were being connected directly by a Registered Network Service Provider. However, the exemption that has been granted to Real Utilities Operator and the Owners Corporation is subject to conditions with which we (and our representatives) must comply. The conditions of our exemption can be viewed on our Website, and the website of the Australian Energy Regulator at www.aer.gov.au or (if you are in Victoria) in the General Exemption Order available on the website of the Essential Services Commission at esc.vic.gov.au. A printed copy of the applicable conditions can be provided upon request.

you will also set out alternative payment methods. Please contact us if you would like to discuss alternative arrangements to direct debit, including making payments in person, by telephone, by mail or by electronic funds transfer. In this Agreement, if the day on which something has to be done is not a Business Day, that thing must be done on or by the next Business Day. If this Agreement refers to a period of time, that period of time is to be calculated without including any day that is not a Business Day. If there is a fault or emergency related to your supply of the Utility Services, please contact: 1300 16 16 68.

The Australian Consumer Law may apply to the supply of Utility Services under this Agreement. We and our representatives must comply with our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law. The dispute resolution procedures applying to this Agreement are described in clause 17. You can also contact the relevant Energy Ombudsman or Consumer Tribunal if you have complaints about the provision of Utility Services under this Agreement. Information about the applicable tariffs under this Agreement and associated fees and charges is set out in the Energy Price Fact Sheets, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services as updated on our Website from time to time. Information about energy rebates, concessions and relief schemes as well as flexible payment options is available on our Website. Please contact us if you are experiencing financial difficulty and we may be able to offer you assistance through our Hardship Policy.

For all other queries in relation to the Embedded Utility Networks or to discuss your utility services account, please contact us at: T: 1300 16 16 68 E: support@realutilities.com.au

This Agreement is for the provision of Utility Services at the Premises only. We are not responsible: (a)

for the installation, maintenance or repair of any appliance(s), pipes or other works which facilitate the supply of water to and within the Premises, including any Owners Corporation Utility Assets or Customer Utility Assets;

(b)

in the case of Hot Water Services – for the supply or sale of water and electricity used by the Bulk Hot Water System to supply Hot Water Services to you at the Premises. Under this Agreement:

(a)

we agree to supply you Utility Services at the Premises and to comply with our obligations under Energy Laws or any other applicable law; and

(b)

you agree to:

Information about the Real Utilities Group, its business and the utility services we provide can be found on our Website. Unless you otherwise request, we propose to: (a)

(b)

Your Agreement with Us

(1)

send all utility bills and other communications to the email address nominated in the Registration Form; and

pay the amounts billed by us under this Agreement;

(2)

put in place direct debit payment arrangements for convenience, which are described in clause 12. The bill we send

provide us with safe and unhindered access to the Premises in accordance with clause 6;

(3)

not alter, remove, interfere with or otherwise damage any equipment at the Premises (if any) which facilitates

2


the supply of Utility Services to the Premises (including the Embedded Utility Networks or any meters or associated equipment), or allow others to do so; (4)

take reasonable steps to minimise risk of loss or damage you may suffer in connection with this Agreement;

(5)

provide us with accurate information (including any material change to the demand, load or usage of the Utility Services at the Premises), and update us if information you have provided to us in the Registration Form or under this Agreement has changed; and

(6)

comply with the law (including any Energy Laws) in respect of your use of the Utility Services.

3

You have the right to choose to purchase electricity with an Electricity Retailer of your choice, and to information on the options for metering that would allow this choice. If you change between different Electricity Retailers, this may require changes to your electricity meter and billing arrangements. It is the responsibility of the Real Utilities Operator to ensure that your access to an Electricity Retailer of your choice is not impeded by any network configuration or metering arrangements. We may need to coordinate with your preferred Electricity Retailer’s Metering Coordinator in relation to any metering changes required. We may appoint an Embedded Network Manager if required under the Energy Laws. The Embedded Network Manager will be responsible for coordinating your access to Electricity Retailers. The contact details of the Embedded Network Manager as at the date of this Agreement is set out in the Building Schedule. We will let you know if there is a change to the Embedded Network Manager.

We must provide, install and maintain the Embedded Electricity Network in accordance with the Energy Laws. Our obligations extend up to the connection point where electricity is to be supplied to the Premises (as defined by us) and not beyond. You acknowledge that, subject to your rights to purchase the Electricity Services from your preferred Electricity Retailer as described in clause 3, during the term of this Agreement, you may only obtain or purchase the Utility Services exclusively from us and you may not obtain or purchase these utility services from any third party supplier offering similar services. You can request for a new connection to the Embedded Electricity Network or to increase the capacity of an existing connection at the Premises by making an application to us in writing. You must enter into any agreement reasonably required by us and comply with any conditions we impose or any notices we give you in relation to this. You must let us know in writing if you no longer want to maintain these connections. You acknowledge and agree that we retain all rights of ownership of certain of the metering equipment in relation to the Utility Services, including the Hot Water Meter and other meters, which will at all times remain our personal property. We may choose to disconnect and remove the Hot Water Meter following termination of this Agreement in respect of Hot Water Services if we are no longer supplying you with any Hot Water Services.

Power of Choice

If you choose to sign up with an Electricity Retailer other than with a Real Utilities Group Member for the sale of electricity to the Premises, you should do the following things: (a)

advise that Electricity Retailer that the Premises is connected to the Embedded Electricity Network; and

(b)

contact the Embedded Network Manager and give notice of that Electricity Retailer. Subject to clause 3.5, we will help coordinate the collection of the Network Charges with your Electricity Retailer:

(a)

if a Real Utilities Group Member is the Electricity Retailer, by arranging for the Network Charges to be charged under this Agreement;

(b)

if the Electricity Retailer is any other licensed electricity retailer and collects the Network Charges from you, by making reasonable attempts to arrange for the Network Charges to be charged under a contract between us and that Electricity Retailer where they collect the Network Charges from you and pay them to the Real Utilities Operator (except to the extent that doing so would be contrary to any obligations imposed upon us under applicable Energy Laws), in which case you

3


must provide us with all information and assistance reasonably required by us to ensure that all payments for the Network Charges you make are passed on to us. You will be liable to pay us for Network Charges under this Agreement: (a)

if your Electricity Retailer does not collect the Network Charges from you; or

(b)

if you do not have an agreement with any Electricity Retailer for the sale of electricity to the Premises. We reserve the right to invoice you directly under this Agreement for the Network Charges at any time by issuing a bill for them, or including them in a bill issued, under clause 11 (except to the extent that doing so would be contrary to any obligations imposed upon us under applicable Energy Laws). You will not be liable for any Network Charges provided to the Premises for which a previous customer at the Premises is liable.

conditions have been satisfied in respect of that Utility Service: (a)

you have satisfied the requirements of our sign-up process for a utility services account;

(b)

if we have informed you that any connection fees or other charges associated with connecting the Premises to an Embedded Utility Network are payable, you have paid those connection fees or other charges;

(c)

the Premises are connected to the respective Embedded Utility Network(s); and

(d)

in the case of Electricity Services only – if you are transferring from another Electricity Retailer to the Real Utilities Retailer for the sale of electricity at the Premises, when this transfer has been completed. If you receive Utility Services from us before all of the conditions in clause 4.2 have been satisfied in respect of one or more Utility Services, we will bill you for that consumption of Utility Services in your first bill.

Subject to clause 3.8, even if we have not agreed to provide you with Electricity Services under this Agreement, if you consume electricity at the Premises without having an agreement for the sale of electricity to the Premises with a different Electricity Retailer, you agree that Electricity Services will be deemed to be a ‘Utility Service’ for the purposes of clause 1.5 until you enter into such an agreement and a transfer of responsibility for the sale of electricity at the Premises to the relevant Electricity Retailer has been completed (where relevant).

If this Agreement provides for the supply of more than one Utility Service, you can choose to terminate this Agreement under clause 4.5 in relation to one or more Utility Services rather than for all Utility Services being provided at that time. If you choose to partially terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement will continue to apply to the supply of each other remaining Utility Service. If termination is occurring at the end of your lease, tenancy agreement or ownership of the Premises, you must give us the notice required under clause 4.8 and this Agreement will be terminated in respect of all Utility Services being supplied to the Premises at that time (including Network Services).

Energy Laws in your jurisdiction may prescribe a form of contract that applies where you have not entered into an agreement for the sale of energy at your Premises. In those circumstances those Energy Laws take precedence over clause 3.7.

4

Commencement and Termination of the Agreement The Agreement will start on the date that we receive a completed Registration Form from you (in person, in the mail or through our Website) or any earlier time as required under applicable law. Unless we agree a different date with you, our obligation to supply to you a Utility Service under this Agreement will start on the date on which all of the following

Subject to this clause 4, the Agreement will terminate in respect of a Utility Service on the earlier of the following dates: (a)

when you request termination in respect of that Utility Service during the Cooling-Off Period;

(b)

on a date agreed by you and us in respect of that Utility Service;

(c)

subject to clause 4.5(h), at the end of your lease, tenancy agreement or ownership of the Premises;

(d)

when a different customer starts to receive that Utility Service for the Premises or on

4


the date that customer’s agreement for that Utility Service starts (whichever is later, to the extent permitted by law); (e)

(k)

for each Utility Service other than Network Services – in any other circumstance, 5 Business Days from the date on which a termination notice is given by you or us in respect of that Utility Service unless a different time is agreed between us; or

(l)

if you are an Other Customer – if we have Disconnected the Premises under clause 5.1(o) because you have breached any provision of this Agreement (including the obligation to pay a bill by the pay-by date), and:

(1)

you have failed to remedy that breach or failed to satisfy any reasonable conditions notified to you under clause 5.9(c) in respect of that breach within 10 Business Days of the Disconnection for the relevant Utility Service; or

(2)

if the breach related to a failure to pay moneys for a particular bill, we have used reasonable endeavours to apply the Security Deposit (if any) as contemplated by clause 14.2 and there are still amounts outstanding on the relevant bill 10 Business Days after the Disconnection for the relevant Utility Service.

Termination of this Agreement does not affect our rights to collect payments still owing to us under this Agreement. On termination of this Agreement, you must give us safe and unhindered access to the Premises to conduct a final meter reading so that we can prepare a final bill. Where the Agreement is terminated in respect of a Utility Service because: (a)

you have committed a material breach of this Agreement relating to Hot Water Services; or

(b)

you have not met the conditions for reconnection following a Disconnection in respect of that Utility Service, we will be entitled to claim from you our reasonable costs and expenses arising from your breach of the Agreement. If you are vacating the Premises, you must give us at least 5 Business Days’ written notice of the date on which you intend to vacate the Premises and provide a forwarding address to which a final bill may be sent after we have arranged a final meter read of any relevant meters.

Metering Subject to the Energy Laws, you may have the right to choose to appoint a Metering Coordinator of your choice for the Electricity Meter relevant to your consumption of electricity at the Premises and you (or your Electricity Retailer) may become liable for additional charges relating to the supply of metering related services. Changing suppliers for metering related services may require changes to your electricity meter arrangements. If you appoint a Metering Coordinator, we will have no liability for and are not responsible for the provision of metering services at the Premises or compliance with the Energy Laws in respect of the Electricity Meter, and we are not liable for any losses you may suffer in connection with metering services provided by the Metering Coordinator or their acts or omissions. Subject to clause 11.12 and unless you are entitled and have elected to appoint a Metering Coordinator in accordance with clause 8.1, we will arrange for the installation, periodic testing, repair, replacement and maintenance of the meters at the Premises to the extent we are required to do so under and in accordance with any applicable law (where relevant). We may arrange for interruptions to the supply of Utility Services to the Premises for the activities contemplated by clause 8.3. If the supply of Utility Services to the Premises will be affected, we will give you prior notice of an interruption we propose to undertake under this clause 8 if this is practicable or we are required to do so under any applicable law (where relevant). We will do our best to arrange for the meter(s) for the Utility Services to be read consistent with the requirements under any applicable law or otherwise at appropriate intervals. We may require you to pay a meter read fee if you request a physical read of any meter or we are otherwise entitled to do so. By completing the Registration Form, you acknowledge and agree that you have provided your consent

9


for us to charge you meter read fees more than once per month in response to a request you make under this Agreement for more flexible payment arrangements. This consent will remain in place until you give us notice at any time that this consent is withdrawn. If we propose to replace your meter in relation to any Utility Service, we will give you notice before doing so where this is required under applicable law. If you request that a new meter be installed at the Premises, we will arrange for the replacement in accordance with the Energy Laws.

by any Real Utilities Group Member or any Owners Corporation Group Member.

The supply of electricity or water to the Embedded Utility Networks is the responsibility of the relevant Distributor(s) and we cannot control: (a)

the quality, voltage, frequency or security of the electricity supply delivered to and on the Embedded Electricity Network; or

(b)

the quality, flow, specifications or reliability of potable cold water (as applicable) delivered to or on the Bulk Hot Water System.

Each party must notify the other party as soon as possible if it suspects that a meter (including an Electricity Meter or Hot Water Meter) at the Premises or other location is or may be defective, damaged or operating inaccurately.

The quality and reliability of the Utility Services supplied to you under this Agreement may be subject to a variety of factors that are beyond our control, including as a result of accidents, emergencies, weather conditions, vandalism, system demand and the actions of other persons including the relevant Distributor(s). Except to the extent required by law, we do not guarantee the quality, voltage, frequency or security of the electricity supply, or the quality, flow, specifications or reliability of the water supply, and we make no representation to you about the conditions or suitability of the Utility Services supplied under this Agreement, its quality, fitness for purpose or safety.

You authorise us to access or receive Metering Data, and to provide Metering Data and any other information related to or in respect of any meter installed and maintained for the purpose of measuring consumption at the Premises: (a)

to any Owners Corporation Group Member and any Real Utilities Group Member and their representatives, agents or subcontractors;

(b)

to the Embedded Network Manager, any Distributor(s) and any retailer selling electricity to or on the Embedded Utility Networks and their representatives, agents or sub-contractors; and

Supply of Utility Services

In addition to the interruptions under clause 8, there may be interruptions to the supply of Utility Services where permitted under the Energy Laws or any other applicable law or as otherwise required by the relevant Distributor(s) or a relevant authority or another third party (including any retailer selling electricity to or on the Embedded Utility Networks). Interruptions may occur at any time in circumstances including:

(c)

to any counterparty of agreements a Real Utilities Group Member (or its agents) enters into to manage any arrangements in supplying Utility Services to you (including in relation to metering related services) and their representatives, agents or subcontractors;

(d)

for the purpose of meeting obligations in relation to greenhouse gas reporting;

(a)

(e)

in respect of general Metering Data concerning the general usage of Utility Services by post code (but excluding any information relating to names or address or other identifying features), for internal analyses of usage patterns by the Real Utilities Group; and

for the purpose of maintaining the safe and efficient operation of any Embedded Utility Network or any equipment related to any Embedded Utility Network (including metering equipment);

(b)

for the installation of a new connection or a connection alteration to another customer or to restore supply to another customer in relation to a Utility Service;

(c)

where any Embedded Utility Network or External Distribution Network poses an immediate threat of injury or material

(f)

for the purpose of any Energy Laws or any other applicable law or any other lawful purpose reasonably considered necessary

10


damage to any person, any property or that Embedded Utility Network or External Distribution Network; (d)

for health or safety reasons or in an Emergency; or

(e)

in the case of Network Services – to shed demand for electricity because the total demand at the relevant time exceeds the total supply available. Third parties such as the relevant Distributor(s) or any retailer selling electricity to or on the Embedded Utility Networks (including any Electricity Retailer) may Disconnect, interrupt or reduce (or direct that there is a Disconnection, interruption or reduction of) the supply of electricity or water to the relevant Embedded Utility Networks or Premises or otherwise arrange for an interruption as permitted under the Energy Laws or any other applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, you release us from any liability:

(a)

for such Disconnection, interruption or reduction in the supply of the Utility Services or where an Electricity Retailer discontinues the sale of electricity to you under or in connection with an agreement for the sale of electricity to the Premises; and

(b)

for any variation: (1)

in the voltage and frequency of the supply of electricity; or

(2)

in the flow and temperature of the supply of Hot Water Services.

If the supply of a Utility Service to the Premises will be affected, we will do our best to give you prior notice of a proposed interruption if this is practicable or we are required to do so under any applicable law. We will do our best to restore the supply of an affected Utility Service to the Premises as soon as possible or otherwise in accordance with any applicable law.

(a)

we are not liable to you or any other person for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the total or partial failure to supply that Utility Service or the defective supply of that Utility Service;

(b)

we are not liable for any indirect, special or consequential losses suffered by you or any other person as a result of any partial or total failure to supply that Utility Service or the defective supply of that Utility Service.

10

Our Liability We agree to supply the Utility Services to you on the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the non-excludable warranties under the Australian Consumer Law, including Consumer Guarantees. Our liability to you in connection with the supply of the Utility Services is limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law. In relation to the supply or sale of electricity other than for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, our liability is limited to the resupply or re-sale of the electricity or the cost of the supply or selling of equivalent electricity by another entity, unless it would not be fair and reasonable for us to rely on this limitation. Subject to clause 10.2, our liability for breach of a condition, guarantee, right or representation arising out of or in connection with the Agreement that cannot be excluded is limited (at our discretion) to:

(a)

providing you with equivalent goods or services to the value or quality of those goods or services to which that breach relates; or

(b)

paying you the cost of acquiring goods or services which are equivalent to the goods or services to which that breach relates, unless it would not be fair and reasonable for us to rely on this limitation. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage suffered or incurred by you or by third parties, and the amount of our liability will be reduced to the extent that the event giving rise to the liability has been caused or contributed to by you or a third party, except to the extent we cannot exclude or reduce such liability at law.

Other than for failure to comply with a Consumer Guarantee, to the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any loss, damage or expense (including loss of profit, loss of revenue or loss of commercial opportunity) that you may suffer, arising out of or in relation to the supply (or failure to supply or the defective supply) of any Utility Service to you. To the extent permitted by law:

11

Utility Charges and Payment

11


The charges payable by you for the supply of Utility Services under the Agreement (“Utility Charges”) are set out in each Energy Price Fact Sheet, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services. You can also find updates about our pricing, fees and other charges on our Website. The Utility Charges in your bill: (a)

includes a separate daily fixed access tariff for each Utility Service that is applied pro rata for each day the Premises is connected for the supply of those Utility Services irrespective of the quantity of those Utility Services consumed at the Premises in that billing period;

(b)

if the Utility Services being supplied under this Agreement includes Electricity Services, will be calculated so that the Utility Charges payable for Electricity Services is inclusive of the Network Charges component;

(c)

in the case of Hot Water Services only – will be based on the amount of hot water consumed at the Premises in that billing period; and

(d)

otherwise, will be based on your consumption of the Utility Services. We will determine your consumption of the Utility Services using Metering Data or an estimation in accordance with applicable law (where relevant). If required, your consumption of the Hot Water Services will be estimated based on your historical Metering Data from the Hot Water Meter or, where this is not available, the average usage of Hot Water Services by a comparable customer over the corresponding billing period. If an estimation is used to prepare a bill and Metering Data then becomes available, subsequent bills will be adjusted to account for the difference between the estimated and measured consumption of the Utility Services. If you ask for a bill to be adjusted where a meter reading could not be conducted due to your failure to give us access, we may charge you a fee to do so. If an estimation is used to prepare a bill, you may be able to request an adjusted bill based on your Customer Read Estimate if the request is made before the due date for payment of that bill. If you provide a compliant Customer Read Estimate, we will provide you with an adjusted bill based on

the Customer Read Estimate at no extra charge. Further information on this process will be provided with your bill. In addition to the Utility Charges for the consumption of Utility Services (including the Network Charges), additional charges that you may be required (to the extent permitted by Law) to pay include connection, disconnection or reconnection fees, special meter read, initial meter read, final meter read, meter testing, late payment fees (unless you are in Victoria), any fees we incur if your payment is dishonoured or reversed and our reasonable administrative and processing costs in relation to such payment dishonouring or reversal, charges reasonably required to recover any costs imposed on us by a third party, or incurred by us as a result of or in connection with a Change in Law, in connection with our supply of the Utility Services, any other amounts referred to in this Agreement and any other fees set out on our Website (“Additional Charges”). Any Additional Charges payable by you will be set out in your bill. Details of our Additional Charges are set out on each Energy Price Fact Sheet, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services and our Website. You will not be charged Network Charges or Additional Charges in connection with the supply of Network Services that are higher than the comparable tariffs that would be charged by the relevant Distributor, had you obtained supply of electricity to your Premises directly from that Distributor and been charged for such service by that Distributor in the same circumstances (in the case of Network Charges) or subject to a standard distribution connection contract (in the case of any Additional Charges in connection with the supply of Network Services). Billing will be monthly unless otherwise agreed. If this Agreement provides for the supply of more than one of the Utility Services, we will issue you a single bill under this clause 11 in respect of all Utility Services being supplied under this Agreement in that billing period. You must pay the Utility Charges (including the Network Charges) and the Additional Charges in relation to the Utility Services and any adjustments or other amounts payable under this Agreement as specified

12


in your bills. You must pay each bill in full by the pay-by date specified in the bill, using one of the payment methods provided in the bill. If you pay by a credit card and we incur a merchant service fee, a credit card surcharge may apply as set out in each Energy Price Fact Sheet, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services. You agree that any amounts you pay towards a bill issued for your utility services account will be applied in satisfaction of the entire balance owing on your utility services account (on a whole of account basis) at the time of that payment, rather than in satisfaction of the Utility Charges and Additional Charges payable for any specific Utility Service. To the extent permitted by law, the payments you make may be allocated at our discretion: (a)

towards payment of amounts owing on your utility services account for each respective Utility Service proportionate to the fees and charges owing for each applicable Utility Service on your utility services account;

(b)

towards payment of any amounts owing on the then-oldest overdue bill, even if you intended the payment for a different bill under this Agreement; or

(c)

any other allocation agreed between us from time to time. Please contact us before the applicable pay-by date if you believe there are any issues with a bill, or if you would like us to review your bill. Our contact details (including for billing related queries) are available on our Website and as at the date these Terms and Conditions are provided to you are set out in clause 1.15. If you have a complaint or wish to dispute a bill, we will review the bill and respond in accordance with the standard complaints and dispute resolution procedures as described in clause 17. You have the right to make a written request for a meter test of the Electricity Meter and the Hot Water Meter or a check of the meter reading or metering data in respect of the Electricity Meter and the Hot Water Meter (“Meter Test”) in the event of a billing dispute. We may ask you to pay the cost of the Meter Test in advance (except to the extent that doing so would be contrary to any obligations imposed upon us under applicable law), and will reimburse you for

this cost if the meter reading or meter data proves to be faulty or incorrect. If you dispute your bill in relation to a Utility Service, while your bill is being reviewed, you will need to pay: (a)

any amount we ask you to (in accordance with the Energy Laws, the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law as relevant) for the relevant bill in relation to that Utility Service;

(b)

all amounts on the relevant bill in relation to any other Utility Services; and

(c)

any future bills by the applicable pay-by date. If the review finds the bill is correct, we are entitled to recover any unpaid amount. If the review finds the bill is incorrect, we will correct the bill under review. Any amounts paid in relation to an incorrect bill in excess of the amount showing on the corrected bill will either be refunded to you or otherwise credited to your next bill. If you have been undercharged in relation to a Utility Service, we are entitled to recover the undercharged amount in instalments in accordance with any applicable law or otherwise as soon as reasonably practicable after we determine the relevant amounts. If the undercharging was not because of your fault or your unlawful act or omission, you will only have to pay us any amounts that should have been charged in the 9 months before we notify you of the undercharge. In all other cases, we will recover all amounts undercharged. We will not charge you interest on the undercharged amount. If we discover we have overcharged you in relation to a Utility Service, we will notify you of the overcharging and repay you by either crediting or refunding the overcharged amount to your utility services account in accordance with any applicable law or otherwise as soon as reasonably practicable after we determine the relevant amounts. You may be entitled to request an immediate refund of overcharged amounts in some circumstances. If the overcharging was because of your fault or unlawful act or omission, we will only refund to you or credit to your next bill any amount that was overcharged in the 12 months before the date we discovered the overcharging. No interest is payable on any overcharged amount.

13

We may vary the Utility Charges (including the Network Charges component) and the Additional Charges by giving you notice at any time. This notice may be included as a statement in your bill. We will notify you of any change in tariff and the date on which the variation takes place in accordance with any applicable law. The Energy Price Fact Sheets, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services will also be updated from time to time to show any variation in the Utility Charges and the Additional Charges. These variations will form part of this Agreement from the date the notice is taken to have been received by you.

At your request, we will provide you with historical billing and metering data for the previous 2 years in accordance with the Energy Laws. This data will be ordinarily be provided without charge, unless we are authorised to charge you in accordance with the Energy Laws, in which case we will notify you prior to fulfilling your request. Amounts payable under this Agreement may be stated to be exclusive or inclusive of GST. Where an amount is not stated to include GST and is payment for a “taxable supply” as defined for GST purposes, to the extent permitted by law, that payment will be increased so that the cost of the GST payable on the taxable supply is passed on to the recipient of that taxable supply.

22

period immediately following the date the notice is taken to have been received by you. Other than as provided in this Agreement, no variation of the provisions of the Agreement may be inferred from a course of conduct.

23

This clause 23 applies if you are a Body Corporate. As a Body Corporate, you may be considered a Small Customer under the Energy Laws for the purposes of the supply of Utility Services (excluding Hot Water Services) under this Agreement. This depends on the level of electricity you use at the Premises in a year.

General Provisions Some of our obligations under this Agreement may be carried out by another person, however we remain liable to you for any failures to comply with those obligations. Subject to clause 21.4, the Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes all prior arrangements or understandings between you and us in connection with the provision of Utility Services at the Premises (excluding any agreements relating to the set-up of the Embedded Utility Networks you may have entered if you are a Body Corporate). If any term or clause of the Agreement is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, then the other terms remain valid and unaffected and will continue for the duration of the Agreement.

If you are a Small Customer, certain protections provided by the Energy Laws will apply to you in relation to the supply of the Utility Services (excluding Hot Water Services) under the Agreement. If you are not a Small Customer and: (a)

the Premises are located within a Residential Building sited in a residential strata scheme; or

(b)

if we agree in writing, the Premises are located adjacent or reasonably proximate to, or otherwise services, a Residential Building sited in a residential strata scheme; or

(c)

if we agree in writing, the Body Corporate operates shared facilities at the Premises or otherwise has the benefit of the Premises,

If we do not exercise or enforce any right or power under the Agreement, that failure will not amount to a waiver of that right or power. Any delay in doing so will also not amount to a waiver of that right or power. Subject to clause 21.2, we may vary this Agreement by giving you at least 20 Business Days’ written notice of the variation. If a variation that affects the terms on which one or more of the Utility Services supplied under this Agreement is made, and such variation is not acceptable to you, you may, by giving us notice, terminate the supply of the affected Utility Service(s). If you choose to terminate this Agreement in relation to some but not all Utility Services, then this Agreement will continue to apply to the supply of each other remaining Utility Service. The Agreement will be varied by agreement between us if you have accepted that variation by not terminating this Agreement in the 20 Business Day

Provisions relating to Body Corporates

we may still supply you Utility Services under this Agreement as an Other Customer however you may not have the benefit of the same provisions of the Energy Laws as a Small Customer. You must give us notice as soon as reasonably practicable: (a)

if you are an Other Customer (whether as at the date of this Agreement or subsequently during the term of this Agreement) – if you reasonably believe you are no longer an Other Customer; and

(b)

if you are a Small Customer (whether as at the date of this Agreement or subsequently during the term of this Agreement) – if you reasonably believe you are no longer a Small Customer.

Effective July 2020


Real Utilities Retailer and Real Utilities Operator Utility Services Agreement Terms and Conditions – Residential Customers and Body Corporates 1

with us for the Premises. Where provisions in this Agreement apply only in respect of Small Customers or Other Customers (as the case may be), this is specified in the Agreement.

Introduction and important information These are the terms and conditions that apply to the supply of Utility Services at your Premises on the Embedded Utility Networks. The party providing the Utility Services to you:

(a)

in relation to the Network Services, is Real Utilities Operator; and

(b)

in relation to each other Utility Service, is Real Utilities Retailer,

Where and for so long as a Real Utilities Group Member is providing your Premises with any of Electricity Services, Network Services, or Hot Water Services during the term of the Agreement, then those services will be a ‘Utility Service’ for the purposes of this Agreement. If we have agreed with you that we are not providing you with one or more of these utility services, then that service is not a ‘Utility Service’ for the purposes of this Agreement.

and “we” or “us” is used in these Terms and Conditions to refer to either or both of Real Utilities Retailer and Real Utilities Operator in relation to the respective Utility Services as the context requires.

You have a right to cancel this Agreement in respect of any Utility Service (excluding Network Services) within 10 Business Days starting on the day after you entered this Agreement (“Cooling-Off Period”). To cancel this Agreement during the CoolingOff Period, you can call us on 1300 16 16 68 or complete the cancellation notice available on our Website. If you cancel this Agreement in respect of any Utility Service during the Cooling-Off Period:

We have given you a Registration Form that you have completed which (among other things) specifies you as the customer or “account holder” (“you”). By completing the Registration Form: (a)

you agree that you have entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) for the supply of Utility Services at the Premises on these Terms and Conditions; and

(b)

you acknowledge and give your consent to these Terms and Conditions, including the credit information consents contained in clause 18.

(a)

you will only need to pay charges for that Utility Service to the extent they were provided before you cancelled the Agreement; and

The Agreement consists of:

(b)

in the case of Electricity Services only – you must enter into a contract for the sale of electricity with an Electricity Retailer if you want to continue receiving electricity at the Premises. If you do this, we may still need to charge you for Network Charges as a customer being physically supplied electricity through the Embedded Electricity Network under this Agreement.

(a)

the Registration Form;

(b)

these Terms and Conditions;

(c)

the Building Schedule;

(d)

the Energy Price Fact Sheets, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) relevant to the Utility Services; and

(e)

any addendum or appendix we provide to you from time to time that is stated to form part of this Agreement. The Agreement applies to Residential Customers and Body Corporates for the supply of Utility Services to Premises located within a Residential Building sited in a residential strata scheme if the Premises is connected to any Embedded Utility Network(s) and you do not have another contract for the supply of Utility Services

As the owner of a portion of the Embedded Electricity Network, Real Utilities Operator is exempt from the requirement to be a Registered Network Service Provider. The Owners Corporation is also exempt from this requirement as a person considered under the Energy Laws to have control of the Embedded Electricity Network and who also owns a portion of the Embedded Electricity Network. Accordingly, neither Real Utilities Operator nor the Owners Corporation are subject to all the obligations

of a Registered Network Service Provider. This means that you may not have the same consumer protections as you would if you were being connected directly by a Registered Network Service Provider. However, the exemption that has been granted to Real Utilities Operator and the Owners Corporation is subject to conditions with which we (and our representatives) must comply. The conditions of our exemption can be viewed on our Website, and the website of the Australian Energy Regulator at www.aer.gov.au or (if you are in Victoria) in the General Exemption Order available on the website of the Essential Services Commission at esc.vic.gov.au. A printed copy of the applicable conditions can be provided upon request.

you will also set out alternative payment methods. Please contact us if you would like to discuss alternative arrangements to direct debit, including making payments in person, by telephone, by mail or by electronic funds transfer. In this Agreement, if the day on which something has to be done is not a Business Day, that thing must be done on or by the next Business Day. If this Agreement refers to a period of time, that period of time is to be calculated without including any day that is not a Business Day. If there is a fault or emergency related to your supply of the Utility Services, please contact: 1300 16 16 68.

The Australian Consumer Law may apply to the supply of Utility Services under this Agreement. We and our representatives must comply with our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law. The dispute resolution procedures applying to this Agreement are described in clause 17.

You have the right to choose to purchase electricity with an Electricity Retailer of your choice, and to information on the options for metering that would allow this choice. If you change between different Electricity Retailers, this may require changes to your electricity meter and billing arrangements. It is the responsibility of the Real Utilities Operator to ensure that your access to an Electricity Retailer of your choice is not impeded by any network configuration or metering arrangements. We may need to coordinate with your preferred Electricity Retailer’s Metering Coordinator in relation to any metering changes required.

You acknowledge that, subject to your rights to purchase the Electricity Services from your preferred Electricity Retailer as described in clause 3, during the term of this Agreement, you may only obtain or purchase the Utility Services exclusively from us and you may not obtain or purchase these utility services from any third party supplier offering similar services. You can request for a new connection to the Embedded Electricity Network or to increase the capacity of an existing connection at the Premises by making an application to us in writing. You must enter into any agreement reasonably required by us and comply with any conditions we impose or any notices we give you in relation to this. You must let us know in writing if you no longer want to maintain these connections. You acknowledge and agree that we retain all rights of ownership of certain of the metering equipment in relation to the Utility Services, including the Hot Water Meter and other meters, which will at all times remain our personal property.

conditions have been satisfied in respect of that Utility Service: (a)

(b)

if we have informed you that any connection fees or other charges associated with connecting the Premises to an Embedded Utility Network are payable, you have paid those connection fees or other charges;

the Premises are connected to the respective Embedded Utility Network(s); and

in the case of Electricity Services only – if you are transferring from another Electricity Retailer to the Real Utilities Retailer for the sale of electricity at the Premises, when this transfer has been completed.

Subject to clause 3.8, even if we have not agreed to provide you with Electricity Services under this Agreement, if you consume electricity at the Premises without having an agreement for the sale of electricity to the Premises with a different Electricity Retailer, you agree that Electricity Services will be deemed to be a ‘Utility Service’ for the purposes of clause 1.5 until you enter into such an agreement and a transfer of responsibility for the sale of electricity at the Premises to the relevant Electricity Retailer has been completed (where relevant).

If this Agreement provides for the supply of more than one Utility Service, you can choose to terminate this Agreement under clause 4.5 in relation to one or more Utility Services rather than for all Utility Services being provided at that time. If you choose to partially terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement will continue to apply to the supply of each other remaining Utility Service. If termination is occurring at the end of your lease, tenancy agreement or ownership of the Premises, you must give us the notice required under clause 4.8 and this Agreement will be terminated in respect of all Utility Services being supplied to the Premises at that time (including Network Services).

Energy Laws in your jurisdiction may prescribe a form of contract that applies where you have not entered into an agreement for the sale of energy at your Premises. In those circumstances those Energy Laws take precedence over clause 3.7.

Commencement and Termination of the Agreement The Agreement will start on the date that we receive a completed Registration Form from you (in person, in the mail or through our Website) or any earlier time as required under applicable law. Unless we agree a different date with you, our obligation to supply to you a Utility Service under this Agreement will start on the date on which all of the following

Subject to this clause 4, the Agreement will terminate in respect of a Utility Service on the earlier of the following dates: (a)

when you request termination in respect of that Utility Service during the Cooling-Off Period;

(b)

on a date agreed by you and us in respect of that Utility Service;

(c)

subject to clause 4.5(h), at the end of your lease, tenancy agreement or ownership of the Premises;

for each Utility Service other than Network Services – in any other circumstance, 5 Business Days from the date on which a termination notice is given by you or us in respect of that Utility Service unless a different time is agreed between us; or

(l)

if you are an Other Customer – if we have Disconnected the Premises under clause 5.1(o) because you have breached any provision of this Agreement (including the obligation to pay a bill by the pay-by date), and:

(1)

you have failed to remedy that breach or failed to satisfy any reasonable conditions notified to you under clause 5.9(c) in respect of that breach within 10 Business Days of the Disconnection for the relevant Utility Service; or

(2)

if the breach related to a failure to pay moneys for a particular bill, we have used reasonable endeavours to apply the Security Deposit (if any) as contemplated by clause 14.2 and there are still amounts outstanding on the relevant bill 10 Business Days after the Disconnection for the relevant Utility Service.

Termination of this Agreement does not affect our rights to collect payments still owing to us under this Agreement. On termination of this Agreement, you must give us safe and unhindered access to the Premises to conduct a final meter reading so that we can prepare a final bill. Where the Agreement is terminated in respect of a Utility Service because: (a)

you have committed a material breach of this Agreement relating to Hot Water Services; or

(b)

you have not met the conditions for reconnection following a Disconnection in respect of that Utility Service, we will be entitled to claim from you our reasonable costs and expenses arising from your breach of the Agreement.

We will do our best to arrange for the meter(s) for the Utility Services to be read consistent with the requirements under any applicable law or otherwise at appropriate intervals. We may require you to pay a meter read fee if you request a physical read of any meter or we are otherwise entitled to do so. By completing the Registration Form, you acknowledge and agree that you have provided your consent

9


for us to charge you meter read fees more than once per month in response to a request you make under this Agreement for more flexible payment arrangements. This consent will remain in place until you give us notice at any time that this consent is withdrawn. If we propose to replace your meter in relation to any Utility Service, we will give you notice before doing so where this is required under applicable law. If you request that a new meter be installed at the Premises, we will arrange for the replacement in accordance with the Energy Laws.

by any Real Utilities Group Member or any Owners Corporation Group Member.

The supply of electricity or water to the Embedded Utility Networks is the responsibility of the relevant Distributor(s) and we cannot control: (a)

the quality, voltage, frequency or security of the electricity supply delivered to and on the Embedded Electricity Network; or

(b)

the quality, flow, specifications or reliability of potable cold water (as applicable) delivered to or on the Bulk Hot Water System.

Each party must notify the other party as soon as possible if it suspects that a meter (including an Electricity Meter or Hot Water Meter) at the Premises or other location is or may be defective, damaged or operating inaccurately.

The quality and reliability of the Utility Services supplied to you under this Agreement may be subject to a variety of factors that are beyond our control, including as a result of accidents, emergencies, weather conditions, vandalism, system demand and the actions of other persons including the relevant Distributor(s). Except to the extent required by law, we do not guarantee the quality, voltage, frequency or security of the electricity supply, or the quality, flow, specifications or reliability of the water supply, and we make no representation to you about the conditions or suitability of the Utility Services supplied under this Agreement, its quality, fitness for purpose or safety.

You authorise us to access or receive Metering Data, and to provide Metering Data and any other information related to or in respect of any meter installed and maintained for the purpose of measuring consumption at the Premises: (a)

to any Owners Corporation Group Member and any Real Utilities Group Member and their representatives, agents or subcontractors;

(b)

to the Embedded Network Manager, any Distributor(s) and any retailer selling electricity to or on the Embedded Utility Networks and their representatives, agents or sub-contractors; and

Supply of Utility Services

In addition to the interruptions under clause 8, there may be interruptions to the supply of Utility Services where permitted under the Energy Laws or any other applicable law or as otherwise required by the relevant Distributor(s) or a relevant authority or another third party (including any retailer selling electricity to or on the Embedded Utility Networks). Interruptions may occur at any time in circumstances including:

(c)

to any counterparty of agreements a Real Utilities Group Member (or its agents) enters into to manage any arrangements in supplying Utility Services to you (including in relation to metering related services) and their representatives, agents or subcontractors;

(d)

for the purpose of meeting obligations in relation to greenhouse gas reporting;

(a)

(e)

in respect of general Metering Data concerning the general usage of Utility Services by post code (but excluding any information relating to names or address or other identifying features), for internal analyses of usage patterns by the Real Utilities Group; and

for the purpose of maintaining the safe and efficient operation of any Embedded Utility Network or any equipment related to any Embedded Utility Network (including metering equipment);

(b)

for the installation of a new connection or a connection alteration to another customer or to restore supply to another customer in relation to a Utility Service;

(c)

where any Embedded Utility Network or External Distribution Network poses an immediate threat of injury or material

(f)

for the purpose of any Energy Laws or any other applicable law or any other lawful purpose reasonably considered necessary

10


damage to any person, any property or that Embedded Utility Network or External Distribution Network; (d)

for health or safety reasons or in an Emergency; or

(e)

in the case of Network Services – to shed demand for electricity because the total demand at the relevant time exceeds the total supply available. Third parties such as the relevant Distributor(s) or any retailer selling electricity to or on the Embedded Utility Networks (including any Electricity Retailer) may Disconnect, interrupt or reduce (or direct that there is a Disconnection, interruption or reduction of) the supply of electricity or water to the relevant Embedded Utility Networks or Premises or otherwise arrange for an interruption as permitted under the Energy Laws or any other applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, you release us from any liability:

(a)

for such Disconnection, interruption or reduction in the supply of the Utility Services or where an Electricity Retailer discontinues the sale of electricity to you under or in connection with an agreement for the sale of electricity to the Premises; and

(b)

for any variation: (1)

in the voltage and frequency of the supply of electricity; or

(2)

in the flow and temperature of the supply of Hot Water Services.

If the supply of a Utility Service to the Premises will be affected, we will do our best to give you prior notice of a proposed interruption if this is practicable or we are required to do so under any applicable law. We will do our best to restore the supply of an affected Utility Service to the Premises as soon as possible or otherwise in accordance with any applicable law.

(a)

we are not liable to you or any other person for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the total or partial failure to supply that Utility Service or the defective supply of that Utility Service;

(b)

we are not liable for any indirect, special or consequential losses suffered by you or any other person as a result of any partial or total failure to supply that Utility Service or the defective supply of that Utility Service.

10

Our Liability We agree to supply the Utility Services to you on the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the non-excludable warranties under the Australian Consumer Law, including Consumer Guarantees. Our liability to you in connection with the supply of the Utility Services is limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law. In relation to the supply or sale of electricity other than for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, our liability is limited to the resupply or re-sale of the electricity or the cost of the supply or selling of equivalent electricity by another entity, unless it would not be fair and reasonable for us to rely on this limitation. Subject to clause 10.2, our liability for breach of a condition, guarantee, right or representation arising out of or in connection with the Agreement that cannot be excluded is limited (at our discretion) to:

(a)

providing you with equivalent goods or services to the value or quality of those goods or services to which that breach relates; or

(b)

paying you the cost of acquiring goods or services which are equivalent to the goods or services to which that breach relates, unless it would not be fair and reasonable for us to rely on this limitation. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage suffered or incurred by you or by third parties, and the amount of our liability will be reduced to the extent that the event giving rise to the liability has been caused or contributed to by you or a third party, except to the extent we cannot exclude or reduce such liability at law.

Other than for failure to comply with a Consumer Guarantee, to the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any loss, damage or expense (including loss of profit, loss of revenue or loss of commercial opportunity) that you may suffer, arising out of or in relation to the supply (or failure to supply or the defective supply) of any Utility Service to you. To the extent permitted by law:

11

Utility Charges and Payment

11


The charges payable by you for the supply of Utility Services under the Agreement (“Utility Charges”) are set out in each Energy Price Fact Sheet, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services. You can also find updates about our pricing, fees and other charges on our Website. The Utility Charges in your bill: (a)

includes a separate daily fixed access tariff for each Utility Service that is applied pro rata for each day the Premises is connected for the supply of those Utility Services irrespective of the quantity of those Utility Services consumed at the Premises in that billing period;

(b)

if the Utility Services being supplied under this Agreement includes Electricity Services, will be calculated so that the Utility Charges payable for Electricity Services is inclusive of the Network Charges component;

(c)

in the case of Hot Water Services only – will be based on the amount of hot water consumed at the Premises in that billing period; and

(d)

otherwise, will be based on your consumption of the Utility Services. We will determine your consumption of the Utility Services using Metering Data or an estimation in accordance with applicable law (where relevant). If required, your consumption of the Hot Water Services will be estimated based on your historical Metering Data from the Hot Water Meter or, where this is not available, the average usage of Hot Water Services by a comparable customer over the corresponding billing period. If an estimation is used to prepare a bill and Metering Data then becomes available, subsequent bills will be adjusted to account for the difference between the estimated and measured consumption of the Utility Services. If you ask for a bill to be adjusted where a meter reading could not be conducted due to your failure to give us access, we may charge you a fee to do so. If an estimation is used to prepare a bill, you may be able to request an adjusted bill based on your Customer Read Estimate if the request is made before the due date for payment of that bill. If you provide a compliant Customer Read Estimate, we will provide you with an adjusted bill based on

the Customer Read Estimate at no extra charge. Further information on this process will be provided with your bill. In addition to the Utility Charges for the consumption of Utility Services (including the Network Charges), additional charges that you may be required (to the extent permitted by Law) to pay include connection, disconnection or reconnection fees, special meter read, initial meter read, final meter read, meter testing, late payment fees (unless you are in Victoria), any fees we incur if your payment is dishonoured or reversed and our reasonable administrative and processing costs in relation to such payment dishonouring or reversal, charges reasonably required to recover any costs imposed on us by a third party, or incurred by us as a result of or in connection with a Change in Law, in connection with our supply of the Utility Services, any other amounts referred to in this Agreement and any other fees set out on our Website (“Additional Charges”). Any Additional Charges payable by you will be set out in your bill. Details of our Additional Charges are set out on each Energy Price Fact Sheet, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services and our Website. You will not be charged Network Charges or Additional Charges in connection with the supply of Network Services that are higher than the comparable tariffs that would be charged by the relevant Distributor, had you obtained supply of electricity to your Premises directly from that Distributor and been charged for such service by that Distributor in the same circumstances (in the case of Network Charges) or subject to a standard distribution connection contract (in the case of any Additional Charges in connection with the supply of Network Services). Billing will be monthly unless otherwise agreed. If this Agreement provides for the supply of more than one of the Utility Services, we will issue you a single bill under this clause 11 in respect of all Utility Services being supplied under this Agreement in that billing period. You must pay the Utility Charges (including the Network Charges) and the Additional Charges in relation to the Utility Services and any adjustments or other amounts payable under this Agreement as specified

12


in your bills. You must pay each bill in full by the pay-by date specified in the bill, using one of the payment methods provided in the bill. If you pay by a credit card and we incur a merchant service fee, a credit card surcharge may apply as set out in each Energy Price Fact Sheet, Basic Plan Information Document or Price and Product Information Statement (as applicable) for the Utility Services. You agree that any amounts you pay towards a bill issued for your utility services account will be applied in satisfaction of the entire balance owing on your utility services account (on a whole of account basis) at the time of that payment, rather than in satisfaction of the Utility Charges and Additional Charges payable for any specific Utility Service. To the extent permitted by law, the payments you make may be allocated at our discretion: (a)

towards payment of amounts owing on your utility services account for each respective Utility Service proportionate to the fees and charges owing for each applicable Utility Service on your utility services account;

(b)

towards payment of any amounts owing on the then-oldest overdue bill, even if you intended the payment for a different bill under this Agreement; or

(c)

any other allocation agreed between us from time to time. Please contact us before the applicable pay-by date if you believe there are any issues with a bill, or if you would like us to review your bill.

If a variation that affects the terms on which one or more of the Utility Services supplied under this Agreement is made, and such variation is not acceptable to you, you may, by giving us notice, terminate the supply of the affected Utility Service(s).

16.4

Exclusion and limitation of liability (a)

Despite anything else in this deed, none of the RU Utility Service Providers will be in default of their respective obligations under this deed to the extent that one or more of the RU Utility Service Providers are unable to provide any Utility Services as a result of the termination of, or the failure of any person to comply with any of their obligations, or the suspension of those obligations, under: (1)

an agreement for the connection of the Embedded Electricity Network to the external electricity distribution network (as defined in the Electricity Supply Act 1995 (NSW) as amended from time to time);

(4)

if a RU Utility Service Provider or the owner or operator of any external distribution network is directed or permitted to do so under a Regulatory Requirement;

(8)

The Owners Corporation acknowledges that it has not relied on any predictions, forecasts, advice or statements of opinion by the RU Utility Service Providers, or any of employees or agents of the RU Utility Service Providers, as to the appropriateness or financial effect of this deed, market conditions, or the likelihood or otherwise of price changes or events that may constitute a Change in Law.

GST (a)

In this clause 21, all italicised and emboldened terms have the same meaning as in the GST Law. In addition: (1)

“Recipient” means the party that receives the Supply from the Supplier;

(2)

“Supplier” means the party that provides the Supply to the Recipient and includes the representative member of the GST Group if the Supplier is a member of a GST Group;

(3)

“Supply” means any supply to the Recipient by the Supplier pursuant to this deed. However, if the GST Law treats part of a supply as a separate supply for the purpose of determining whether GST is payable on that part of the supply or for the purpose of determining the tax period to which that part of the supply will be attributable, such part of the supply will be treated as a separate supply for the purposes of this clause.

(b)

Unless expressly stated otherwise in this deed, all amounts referred to in this deed, including amounts used to determine a payment to be made by one party to the other (other than under this clause) are exclusive of GST (GST Exclusive Consideration).

(d)

(1)

the GST Exclusive Consideration to be provided under this deed for that Supply is increased by an amount equal to the GST payable by the Supplier (excluding any Excess GST);

(2)

the Recipient must pay the additional amount payable under clause 21(c)(1) to the Supplier at the same time and in the same manner as the GST Exclusive Consideration for the Supply is otherwise required to be provided upon receiving a tax invoice from the Supplier for that Supply or as otherwise provided in this deed;

Whenever an adjustment event occurs in relation to a Supply, the Supplier must determine the net GST in relation to a Supply (taking into account any adjustment and excluding any Excess GST) and if the net GST differs from the amount previously paid under clause 21(c)(1), the amount of the difference must be paid by, refunded to or credited to the Recipient, as applicable;

Set out at the end of this Policy, we include our credit reporting policy, which deals with particular types of personal information we handle in connection with the provision of credit to our customers. It is Real Utilities' policy to respect the confidentiality of personal information and the privacy of individuals. Real Utilities is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) including the Australian Privacy Principles (“Australian Privacy Principles”) and any relevant privacy code registered under the Privacy Act. The Privacy Act defines 'personal information' as information or an opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. What kind of personal information do we collect? The type of personal information we may collect and hold includes (but is not limited to) names, address, identification information, date of birth, age, contact details like phone numbers and email addresses, concession card details, payment card information, employment status, position held as well as other information contained in forms you provide. We also collect information about your interactions and communications with us (including in person, online and via telephone or email). Information is also collected regarding your use of our webpages under the URLs frasersproperty.com.au/RealUtilities and realutilities.com.au (“Real Utilities Webpages”)(see further below).

The types of individuals we usually collect this information about include: - customers, clients, applicants for utility services and suppliers; - individuals who share premises with the individuals described above, or who otherwise use electricity that we supply; - job applicants, employees, and contractors; - shareholders; and - other people who may come into contact with Real Utilities in the ordinary course of our business. What methods do we use to collect your personal information? Personal information may be obtained directly from you, including by way of telephone conversations, emails, internet enquiries you make or forms you fill out (online or in hard copy), face-to-face meetings or interviews. There may be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impractical to collect it directly from you. For example, we may obtain a reference from a third party. We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

Depending on the product or service concerned, personal information may be disclosed to: - related entities of Real Utilities; - entities that are authorised under the energy laws (or that are otherwise exempt from this requirement) to provide utility services to customers (“Electricity Service Providers”), on whose behalf we act as agent in providing utility services; - other parties involved in the electricity supply chain; - trusted joint venture / alliance partners; - service providers and specialist advisers to Real Utilities or Electricity Service Providers (as the case may be) who have been contracted to provide Real Utilities with services in relation to electricity supply arrangements (including metering related services) or administrative, technology, website hosting, financial, payment processing, research or other services; - other insurers, courts, tribunals and regulatory authorities as agreed or authorised by law;

- reference agencies or insurance investigators; or - anyone authorised by an individual, as specified by that individual or the contract. Some of these organisations may be located overseas so they may not be subject to privacy obligations comparable to those under the Australian Privacy Act. We require that organisations outside the group comprising Real Utilities who handle or obtain personal information as service providers to Real Utilities acknowledge the confidentiality of this information and comply with the Australian Privacy Principles. We also generally require that these organisations only use this information for purposes authorised by us and that they otherwise follow our reasonable directions with respect to the handling and storage of this information. Real Utilities may decide to buy or sell assets which form part of or relate to its business or a division or organisation within Real Utilities. In any such transaction, personal information will usually be one of the transferred assets and will be disclosed to the purchaser to use for the same purposes as it was previously used by Real Utilities. Sensitive information is subject to greater restrictions Some personal information which we collect is 'sensitive'. Sensitive information includes a person's racial or ethnic origin, religion, membership of political bodies or trade unions, sexual preferences or activities, criminal record, state of health and medical history. Sensitive information, specifically health information, may be relevant to applications by prospective employees and while consent will be sought before this is obtained, we may not be able to adequately assess candidates' suitability for some positions without this information. Real Utilities may act as an Energy Service Provider or as an agent on behalf of Energy Service Providers to provide utility services to customers. In either of these capacities, Real Utilities is required to collect health information about customers receiving, or applicants for, utility services from an Electricity Service Provider regarding Life Support Customers (whether the customer/applicant itself or a third party Life Support Customer). We will only collect, use and disclose health information or other sensitive information about a Life Support Customer with the consent of the relevant party, unless otherwise authorised by law. The Australian Privacy Principles require that sensitive information is used and disclosed only for the purposes for which it was provided, or for directly related secondary purposes, unless you agree otherwise or if the use or disclosure of this information is required by law (for example, to prevent a crime or serious injury). Management and security of personal information Real Utilities trains it employees who handle your information to comply with this Policy and the Privacy Act and to otherwise respect the confidentiality of your information and your privacy. Real Utilities regards breaches of your privacy very seriously. How do we store personal information? Safeguarding the privacy of your information is important to us, whether you interact with us personally, by telephone, mail, over the internet or other electronic media. We and our technology service providers hold personal information in a combination of secure computer storage facilities and paper based files and other records and take steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. The Privacy Act also requires us not to store personal information longer than necessary. Where we no longer require any personal information for a purpose permitted under the Privacy Act, we will take steps to destroy or de-identify it. We will store your personal information in Australia for the purposes set out above. As mentioned above, Real Utilities may disclose your personal information overseas, including to New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Canada, USA and other countries. How do we keep personal information accurate and up-to-date?

We may collect personal credit information as described in this Policy under ‘What methods do we use to collect your personal information?’. We also exchange personal credit information with CRBs. This helps them to maintain information about you to share with credit providers and other permitted parties for purposes including credit assessments. Please note that you can request CRBs not to: - use or disclose your personal credit information, if you are or are likely to be a victim of fraud; and - use your personal credit information to determine your eligibility to receive direct marketing from credit providers. We may also exchange personal credit information with your representatives, referees and legal advisors and with other credit providers, credit insurers, debt buyers and parties involved in any sale of our business or assets. The purposes for which we may use and disclose your personal credit information collected from CRBs include: - assessing your credit applications; - rating your credit worthiness; - managing your credit arrangements; - collecting overdue payments; - participating in the credit reporting system; - assigning debts; and - handling complaints and requests. We may use and disclose other personal credit information for these purposes and also as described in this Policy under ‘How do we use personal information and to whom may we disclose it?’. Please see the following sections of this Policy in relation to the storage of your personal credit information and your rights to access and correct that information, and make complaints:
