Services: the services, including without limitation production of any comparisons, analysis, documents or information produced by IGP for or on behalf of the Customer, to be provided by IGP pursuant to this Contract.
Utility Providers: any provider of water, gas and/or electricity.

(b) Any phrase introduced by the terms including, include, in particular or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms.

- COMMENCEMENT & TERM
The Contract shall commence on the date when the Letter of Authority has been signed by both parties and shall continue, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, until either party gives to the other not less than 30 days’ written notice to terminate.
- SUPPLY OF SERVICES
3.1 IGP shall supply the Services to the Customer from the date of execution of the Letter of Authority in accordance with this Contract.
3.2 In supplying the Services, IGP shall perform the Services with reasonable care and skill.
- CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS
4.1 The Customer shall:
(a) co-operate with IGP in all matters relating to the Services;
(b) provide, in a timely manner, such information as IGP may reasonably require, and ensure that it is accurate in all material respects; and
(c) immediately inform IGP if there is any change in the Customer’s circumstances and/or business, which may affect the provision of the Services;
(d) immediately inform IGP if there are any reasons why the authority given by the Letter of Authority should be revoked;
(e) provide authority for IGP to enter into discussions and/or arrangements with such Utility Providers as IGP may determine (as further detailed in the Letter of Authority) and the Customer agrees that IGP may supply any information, data or documents that IGP may receive from the Customer to any such Utility Provider; and
(f) comply with the provisions of the Bribery Act 2010 and any other applicable legislation.
4.2 If the performance by IGP of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of the Customer, its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, IGP shall:
(a) not be liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer that arise directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay; and
(b) be entitled to recover any additional costs, charges or losses of commissions IGP sustains or incurs that arise directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
- COMMISSION
IGP is remunerated directly by Utility Provider and received a commission in the event that the Customer enters into a supply contract with the Utility Provider. Such commission is usually included in your agreed unit rate of energy e.g. we secure a price for electricity at 15.5p per kWh and apply an uplift of 0.8p per kWh. The unit rate of energy we would offer you would therefore be 16.3p per kWh. Our commission would be calculated as 0.8p x your annual energy consumption x the agreed contract term. Our uplifts vary depending on size of contract, term and other factors such as your credit risk. Our average uplift is typically under 1p per kWh. The Customer hereby confirms that it is aware that commissions may be payable direct to IGP and waives any rights it may have to challenge such commissions now or in the future. If you wish to confirm how much commission we expect to receive on a contract, please just get in touch with a member of our customer services team.
