Nectr will only contact the Referee by phone between 9am and 6pm on weekdays, or 9am and 5pm on Saturdays. Nectr will not call on Sundays or public holidays.

Referral Reward

For the Referrer to receive a reward (a Referral Reward):

• a Referee, after being contacted by Nectr, must sign up to a Nectr New Energy Product plan using the application form provided by Nectr, within 6 months of providing their contact details and have their installation completed;
• the Referee must then be officially advised by Nectr of the installation completion at their premises.; and
• the Referrer must have paid their first Nectr bill in full and by the due date.

Nectr will then provide the Referrer with a one-off monetary credit of $150 (Referral Reward) to be applied to their next Nectr electricity bill, provided their account payments are up to date.  If their account payments are not up to date, no credit will be applied and the Referral Reward will not apply.

You must only refer friends who are aged 18 or over, meet the Referee Eligibility criteria stated above (to the best of your knowledge) and who you are sure have given their implied or express consent to be contacted by Nectr (including by telephone). You must not email or text anyone about this Referral Program unless they have given their implied or express consent to receive the email or text from you. You must not publish or advertise the Solar and Battery Referral Program or share it with anyone except as expressly permitted by this clause.

For the avoidance of doubt, referrals not made directly to Nectr in accordance with the above cannot be claimed retrospectively and therefore are not eligible for a reward.

There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer.  However, there is a limit of 4 Referral Rewards that may be earned per Referrer, per calendar month.  If you earn multiple Referral Rewards, they will be credited to your Nectr account and applied to your next bill. Any remaining credit on your Nectr account will be carried over and applied to subsequent bills until the credit is used up.

A Referee may only be referred by one Nectr customer under this Solar and Battery Referral Program. If Nectr receives multiple recommendations for a Referee that meet the criteria of this Solar and Battery Referral Program, a Referral Reward will only be applied to the Referrer whose recommendation meets the requirements of the Solar and Battery Referral Program and is received first by Nectr.

In no circumstance will any part of a Referral Reward be paid to you in cash. If you still have any Referral Reward credit balance on your Nectr account when your contract with Nectr ends, you will forfeit that credit balance.

Liability

Nothing in these terms and conditions restricts, excludes or modifies any consumer rights that consumers may have under any statute including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

Except for any conditions, warranties and representations expressly stated in these terms and conditions, to the extent permitted by law Nectr excludes all conditions, warranties and representations under or in connection with the Solar and Battery Referral Program and these terms and conditions.

• supplying the relevant services again; or
• paying the cost of having the services supplied again.

Nectr’s liability to you under or in connection with the Solar and Battery Referral Program or these terms and conditions (including in negligence), except for any liability Nectr has to you in relation to any Referral Rewards properly earned by you under these terms and conditions, will be reduced by the extent, if any, to which you contributed to that liability.

General

You are responsible for your own costs associated with participating in the Solar and Battery Referral Program. If you participate using (in relation to yourself) multiple email addresses, phone numbers or names, you may be disqualified from further participation.

Nectr may, at any time, require you to produce documentation to establish to Nectr’s satisfaction your eligibility to participate in the Solar and Battery Referral Program (for example, documentation establishing your identity, age, place of residence and ownership of residence). Failure by Nectr to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not waive those rights.

Nectr may exclude or suspend you from the Solar and Battery Referral Program or from receiving benefits under the Solar and Battery Referral Program if you:

• breach these terms and conditions;
• engage in any conduct that may jeopardise the fair and proper conduct of the Solar and Battery Referral Program;

Referral Rewards cannot be transferred or exchanged. The Referral Rewards include any applicable GST.

Any reference to $ or dollars in connection with the Solar and Battery Referral Program is to Australian dollars.

Nectr is not responsible for any tax implications arising from you receiving a Referral Reward. You should seek independent financial advice. If for GST purposes this Solar and Battery Referral Program results in any supply being made for non-monetary consideration, you must follow the Australian Taxation Office’s stated view that where the parties are at arm’s length, goods and services exchanged are of equal GST inclusive market values.

Nectr may amend these terms and conditions from time to time, provided that the amendments do not cause unreasonable financial or other detriment to customers. The amended terms and conditions will apply from the time they are posted on the Nectr website or otherwise notified to customers.

Nectr may terminate the Solar and Battery Referral Program by notifying customers on the Nectr website or otherwise, provided that Nectr provides sufficient notice so that the termination does not cause unreasonable financial or other detriment to customers.
