By using the Voltaware services you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must stop using the Voltaware services immediately.

Please read through these terms and conditions carefully, as they apply to all residential customers who take services from us.

The words highlighted in bold throughout these terms and conditions have special meanings which can be found in the Glossary at the end of these terms and conditions. Also, where we say "include" or "including" in these terms and conditions and then give examples, it does not mean that these are the only examples of what we are referring to.

A. Voltaware services

1. The services we will provide you are “Disaggregating your electricity bill by individual appliances in your home, tracking your energy use in real-time and developing reports on the Voltaware mobile app”. These are referred to in this document as the “services”.

2. To use the services, you must register for a user account and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the applicable registration form.  The information required is the property type, size, the number of people living, the number of bedrooms, if you generate power and a list of appliances.

3. Access to our services is provided via the Voltaware application (this is referred to in this document as the “application” and more particularly described in the Glossary below).  Such access is generally permitted on a subscription basis. If you are being provided with the service on a trial basis, we will withdraw access to the services if you do not pay your subscription at the end of the trial.

Please note that although we support tablets, the application is not optimised for them.

5. We aim to provide a continuous, high-quality service using reasonable care and skill. However, we may modify or temporarily suspend the services, or part of them, to the extent necessary for us to carry out maintenance, technical repair, enhancement or emergency work. We will try to provide any maintenance services that we believe are necessary for us to provide the services to you. We will try to minimise the impact of this on you and we will restore the services to you as soon as we can. Where possible, we will notify you if this occurs between the hours of 9 am and 23 pm and is due to last for more than 1 hour.

6. We may from time to time develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the software which supports the application and related services. These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice to you or receiving any additional consents from you. You hereby consent to such automatic updates. If you do not want to receive such updates, your only remedy is to stop using the equipment and uninstalling the application.

7. We will always aim to provide you with continued access to services but we will not be liable for interruptions or other problems with the services which are matters beyond our reasonable control, which include without limit the matters listed in Section H (Matters beyond our reasonable control).

Please contact us on https://voltaware.com/support. In many circumstances it may be possible for us to correct a fault remotely.

9. Due to the nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee specific levels of performance for the services. Although we aim to offer you the best service possible, we make no promise that our online services will meet your requirements and we cannot guarantee that the service will be fault free.

10. We do not guarantee or promise any specific level of energy savings or other monetary benefit from the use of the equipment, the services or any feature thereof.

From time to time, we may use the services to provide you with information that is unique to you and your energy usage and suggest an opportunity to save money on energy bills if you adopt suggestions or features of the equipment or the services. You acknowledge that these recommendations are not a guarantee of actual savings, and you agree not to seek monetary or other remedies from us if your savings differ.
