Smart October 2024 Free Energy Promotion
Terms and conditions
This Promotion is open to residents of the United Kingdom aged 18 or over who are Utility Warehouse (“UW”) customers, excluding employees of UW, its agents and anyone professionally associated with this Promotion.
To enter this Promotion, you must be a UW customer using UW Energy services and contacted by UW with communications related to this Promotion (“Eligible Customer”). If your UW account is in arrears on the date at which your account credit is due to be paid, you will no longer be eligible and you will not be entered into the draw to win the Prize.
To qualify for this Promotion an Eligible Customer must, between 1 October 2024 and 31 October 2024 inclusive (“Promotional Period”), both (1) book a smart meter installation appointment and (2) have at least one traditional energy meter upgraded to a smart energy meter (“Qualifying Customer”). Bookings are subject to smart meter upgrade eligibility and engineer availability. For the avoidance of doubt, smart meter installations which are carried out involuntarily for the purpose of debt recovery are excluded from this promotion.
Maximum of 1 entry is permitted per person during the Promotion Period. No purchase neccessary.
The Prize: 10 Qualifying Customers will win £1,717 (“Prize Winners”), which is a year’s-worth of Energy calculated using Ofgem’s 1st October 2024 price cap values at Ofgem’s typical domestic consumption value for medium users (correct at 9th September 2024). This Prize will be credited to the winning Qualifying Customers’ account within 30 days of the meter installation date and appear as a credit on their monthly bill. The Prize will be used against any pre-existing debt on the account. Any remainder will show as an account balance and may be credited to your bank (if they are a direct debit customer) or via BACS transfer.
Further Prize & Entry Details and Conditions:
If, once an appointment has been conducted, a Smart Meter cannot be fitted at an Eligible Customer’s as a result of, but not limited to, location, connectivity or installation issues, then that customer will not quallify to be entered into the Prize draw.
The Prize Winners will receive their Prize via credit off a future Energy bill following the completed installation of the smart meter by UW.
If a winners’ Energy bill has exceeded £1,717 over the whole year, the winner will need to pay the remaining balance.
Winner Selection: 10 Prize Winners will be randomly selected from all Qualifying Customers. The prize draw will take place within 7 working days of the end of the Promotion Period.
Winner Notification: Each Prize Winner will be contacted via the email address and/or phone number associated with their UW account within 30 working days of Winner Selection and will be required to respond to confirm eligibility and acceptance of the Prize, within 14 days of initial contact. In the event that a Prize Winner does not respond to the initial contact within 14 days, UW reserves the right to disqualify that Prize Winner. If a Prize Winner is disqualified, UW reserves the right to award the Prize to a reserve selected in the same manner.
In the unlikely event that a Prize Winner doesn’t receive their Prize within 28 days of their bill being received, Prize Winners will have a further 28 days to inform UW by visiting https://uw.co.uk/contact. In the event that a Prize Winner does not inform UW within this time frame, UW will reserve the right to not reissue the Prize or limit its value at their sole discretion.
Provided no objection is received, if you are a Prize Winner, your surname and county of residence will be made available by UW for a period of 8 weeks. You can object to your surname or county of residence being disclosed. Without prejudice, the Promoter will provide this information to the Advertising Standards Authority on reasonable request.
The Prizes are not transferable or exchangeable and cannot be redeemed for monetary value or for any other form of compensation. If for any reason any element of a Prize is not available, the Promoter reserves the right, at its sole discretion to substitute another prize for it, of equal or greater value.
In the event that the Promotion is not capable of running as planned for reasons including but not limited to tampering, unauthorised intervention, fraud, dishonesty, technical failures, or any other causes beyond the control of UW which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this Promotion, UW reserves the right to disqualify any individual who tampers with the entry process or does not comply with these Terms & Conditions and to cancel, modify or suspend the Promotion or invalidate any affected entries.
