Electricity $250 Welcome Credit Promotion with MEGA

MEGA Saver Promotion


The supply of electricity and other eligible services to residential customers under this MEGA Saver Promotion ("Promotion") is in accordance with:

If there is any conflict between our General Terms and the MEGA Saver Terms of this Promotion, the MEGA Saver Terms below will apply.


Eligibility:

1. This Promotion is only available to new and existing residential customers in our service regions from 02 October 2023.

2. If you are an existing Megatel customer on a fixed-term contract for any service, you will either need to see out the fixed-term for that service (or pay any applicable early termination fee) before you are eligible for this plan.


Mega Saver discounts:

1. On this Promotion you will receive ongoing discounted pricing when you have electricity plus one or more other "eligible service" supplied by us at the same property and on the same account for the same billing period.

  • a) The other “edivgible services” are broadband, mobile and/or natural gas.
  • b) The MEGA Saver discounts for each service are:
    • Electricity: 5% off our standard electricity pricing for your property.
    • Natural gas: 10% off our standard natural gas pricing for your property.
    • Broadband: $20 off your monthly broadband pricing.
    • Mobile (depending on your mobile plan):
      • - $3 off your monthly mobile pricing on our 1.5GB Rollover data mobile plan.
      • - $6 off your monthly mobile pricing on our 2.5GB Rollover data mobile plan.
      • - $9 off your monthly mobile pricing on our 4GB endless data mobile plan.
      • - $14 off your monthly mobile pricing on our 12GB endless data mobile plan.
      • - $16 off your monthly mobile pricing on our 40GB Big Data mobile data plan.

4. MEGA Saver discounts will only apply once electricity and the other eligible service(s) are all connected in the same billing period. For example:

  • a) If you bundle electricity together with broadband on this Promotion, and your broadband is connected with Megatel before your electricity, the MEGA Saver discounts won’t be applied until electricity is also connected with us
  • b) Put another way, if you bundle electricity together with broadband, and your electricity is connected with Megatel before your broadband, the MEGA Saver Promotion discounts on both electricity and broadband won’t be applied until broadband is also connected with us.

Please note that our monthly invoices are typically generated between the 2nd and 3rd business day each month, and that we charge for broadband, landline and mobile services one month in advance, but energy services are charged in arrears (i.e. after energy has been consumed). This means your first invoice for all services you bundle together on this MEGA Saver Promotion may not include MEGA Saver discounts (i.e. the discounts will only kick in when all relevant services are connected in the same billing period).


Term and termination:

5. There is no fixed-term for any service on this Promotion. This means you can switch away or terminate any service at any time, by providing at least 30 days advance notice to us. However, if you:

  • a) end the supply of electricity for any reason (so that we only supply you with broadband, mobile and/or natural gas – but not electricity), your pricing for the remaining services you have with us will automatically be changed to our most recent standard broadband, mobile and/or natural gas pricing for your property (which is available on request); or
  • b) end the supply of your other eligible services for any reason (so that we only supply you with electricity), your electricity pricing will automatically be changed to our most recent standard electricity-only pricing for your property (which is available on request).

6. There are no early termination fees for any service on this Promotion. However, early termination fees apply under other promotions available in conjunction with this plan.

Price changes:

7. Your prices for any service supplied on this Promotion (before any MEGA Saver discounts are applied), and the amount of any MEGA Saver discount, are not fixed and are subject to change from time to time. We will notify you if your prices or discounts change by providing you with at least 30 days advance notice.


General:

8. This Promotion is not available in conjunction with any other Megatel promotion for any service, unless expressly specified in such other promotion.

9. This Promotion cannot be transferred to a different property and will end if you move. However, we will still provide MEGA Saver Plan discounts if you sign up for electricity and at least one other eligible service at your new property.

10. Standard acceptance and credit criteria apply. Our standard installation / reconnection fees and additional service charges (published on our website) also apply.

11. We reserve the right to change or withdraw this Promotion at any time. If you are an existing customer on this Promotion, will we provide at least 30 days advance notice before any changes take effect.

12. There are additional terms which apply to the supply of broadband and mobile services on this Promotion, as set out below. Please make sure you understand the terms that apply to these services if you bundle either or both together with electricity on this Plan.

Broadband Supply Terms:

i. Your monthly broadband price (before the MEGA Saver Promotion discount is applied) will depend on your selected download speed plan.

  • rent a modem from MegaTEL, in which case our Rental Modem Terms and Conditions will apply and there is a one-off $15 delivery charge.

iii. If you choose to bring your own modem or router to access our broadband service, you agree that your equipment is your responsibility and that we can’t help with configuration and cannot guarantee or support performance of your equipment or compatibility with our network.

iv. Add-on service charges (such as a static IP address or VoIP home phones) are not included on this Promotion and will be charged separately (without discounted pricing) if selected.

v. Additional charges may apply to new and/or non-standard broadband installations or other items such as additional work performed by an approved technician. We will let you know if charges apply.

Electricity $250 Welcome Credit Promotion


This Electricity $250 Welcome Credit Promotion provides you with a $250 welcome credit on your electricity account when you sign up for electricity on a 12-month fixed-term contract.


Please note that:

  • - This promotion is available in conjunction with MEGA Saver Promotion (however, please be aware that by using this promotion you are signing up to a 12 month fixed term for electricity).

That means, if you are a new Megatel electricity customer who signs up for a 12-month fixed- term contact for electricity plus another eligible service (gas, broadband or mobile), you will receive:

  • - a $250 credit on your new electricity account (this promotion); and
  • - ongoing discounts on all services while they remain connected with Megatel!(Mega Saver)

Eligibility

1. To be eligible for this promotion:

  • a) You must be a new residential Megatel electricity customer, meaning that you must not have an existing electricity account with Megatel, and your property should not have been powered by Megatel electricity for at least the past 6 months.
  • b) You must meet our standard acceptance criteria and sign up for electricity on a 12-month fixed-term contract at your primary residential address.
  • c) Your electricity service must be connected at your primary residential address within one month from the date you signed your application. Your primary residential address means the property where you actually live, which is not vacant, not under renovation/construction, and not an investment property or holiday home. If electricity is not connected within one month (for any reason), then this promotion and any supply obligations will automatically cease (and any account credit will be reversed).

2. This promotion comes with a $250 account credit and a 12-month fixed term supply contract. The account credit will be applied to your energy account and will show on your first bill, and is not transferable, exchangeable, refundable nor redeemable for cash or any other use apart from being applied as a credit to your Megatel energy account.


Pricing and termination fees

3. If you end your supply contract or your service is terminated for any reason before the end of your 12-month contracted supply term, an early termination fee of $250 (including GST) will apply. If you move to a different address where our services are not available before the contract end date, or if you cancel the supply contract for any reason before the contract end date, you will be charged a full early termination fee.

4. Once your electricity connection has been provisioned, your pricing will stay the same for your contracted supply term unless we adjust your pricing:

  • a) due to changes to taxes (e.g., GST), levies (including the Electricity Authority Levy and/or Gas Industry Company Levy), the NZ Emissions Trading Scheme, or any other governmental or regulatory changes; or
  • b) due to changes in third party costs, for example network company, transmission, and metering charges (which may apply to both the Daily Charge and the Variable Charge components of your electricity pricing); or
  • c) if, for any reason, the information we have relied on to set your pricing is incorrect and/or requires amendment (e.g., if your metering set-up or capacity and/or your pricing category is incorrect or changes); or
  • d) if capacity is changed by you or network company; or
  • e) if you move to a different property.

General

5. Standard acceptance criteria apply. Our standard installation / reconnection fees and additional service charges (published on our website) also apply.

6. Our Promotional Terms and Conditions, General Terms and Conditions, Energy Plan Special Terms on our website apply to this promotion. Please take some time to read them thoroughly.
