Common use of ELECTRICITY SUPPLY Clause in Contracts

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. 13.1 The nature of the electricity supplied to you (a) may not be free from interruptions or fluctuations and may fluctuate in quality from time to time; (b) will be of the quality of electricity contained in the Western Power Network electricity network; and (c) may not suit your specific needs if, for example, you have specific goods or equipment at your premises that require a continuous electricity supply free from interruptions or fluctuations in supply or fluctuations in quality. There are things you can do to minimise the impact of these interruptions, fluctuations and other supply limitations so that you can protect your property and interests. For example, in the case of an unexpected, prolonged power outage affecting your refrigerator/freezer contents, you may be reasonably able to minimise your loss (depending on the circumstances) by asking a friend/neighbour if you can use their refrigerator/freezer (if they are not affected by the outage) or by obtaining bagged ice from your local service station or other outlet. If those or similar options would not be reasonably available to you in that situation, then you should consider if the value of the contents of your refrigerator/freezer (such as important medicines or expensive foods, wines or other produce) means they are worth protection by some other, possibly more substantial and reliable means that you could reasonably put in place (such as a back-up power supply). You are best placed to know your particular needs and how best to protect them. So, if you do have particular needs or specific goods or equipment that require a continuous electricity supply free from interruptions or fluctuations in supply or fluctuations in quality, then you should take reasonable care to ensure you: (d) address your particular needs, including making suitable alternative arrangements (for example, a back-up supply or alternative power source); (e) protect persons, property, goods and equipment at the premises from any loss, harm or damage that arises if the electricity supplied to you is not free from interruptions or fluctuations in supply or fluctuations in quality (for example, installing surge protection devices for sensitive equipment); and (f) otherwise do what you reasonably can to mitigate your loss arising from any interruptions or fluctuations in supply or fluctuations in quality. Further, as electricity is by its nature inherently dangerous (including risks of fire and electrocution) you must take care in relation to your use and treatment of electricity supplied. You must only use electricity with appropriate wiring, fittings, appliances and installations that comply with applicable laws and relevant safety standards (including as regards to their proper installation, use and maintenance) and in accordance with the instructions for safe use provided by the manufacturer or a licensed electrician.
