Common use of Meter Readings Clause in Contracts

Meter Readings. We may ask you for a meter reading before we start supplying your gas. Where possible, you should provide a photograph of the meter reading taken on the start date and email this to us using the contact details shown on the contract schedule or published on our website at xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/ from time to time. If we do not receive a meter reading from you for the date we start supplying you with gas, we will estimate a reading based on how much gas was previously being used at the site(s) and this estimated reading will be binding. We may appoint an agent to read the meter in accordance with normal industry meter reading cycles. Where possible, meter readings will be taken via AMR, with manual readings taking place as a backup and/or in the absence of AMR capability. A manual reading will also be taken as and when required (in accordance with the conditions of our licence to supply) in order to verify the accuracy of the AMR. If you wish to provide us with meter reads yourself (either taken by you or a third-party supplier) you must ensure that they are: • accurate; • taken in accordance with applicable industry meter reading cycles; • provided to us within any +/- 1 business day of the start of the agreed invoice period If the meter reads you provide do not comply with the requirements above, we may invoice you for the costs we have incurred in appointing an agent to read the meter. We reserve the right to use a different meter reading from the one you give us if we or our agent read(s) the meter and get(s) a reading that is different from yours.
