    2. If your current meter set up is incorrect, we will place you on the correct pricing plan that matches your meter.
  1. If the change to the meter type or meter set up in clause 4 above means your new price will be higher than your current fixed price and (if applicable) you did not request the change of meter type, we will terminate your fixed price plan and:
    1. move your electricity supply to an open-term plan and Mercury standard rates will apply; and
    2. you will not be charged an early termination fee.

    1. You cancel within 10 days of your fixed price plan confirmation letter (meaning you will be deemed not to have taken up this offer and our standard rates will apply during that period); or

Moving
  1. If you move property during the Fixed Term, please contact us before you move and:
    1. You can take your fixed price plan with you so long as your move is within the same network and your new property has the same meter type; or
    2. If we are unable to transfer your fixed price plan to your new address because the conditions in 8(a) above are not met, you will be transferred to an open-term plan and standard Mercury prices and you will not be charged an early termination fee, as long as you remain a Mercury customer.
Other terms
