sch.4-sec.4 What is the term of this contract?
If your premises are connected to our distribution system, this contract starts on the date when you start to take supply of energy at those premises. This contract ends— if your retailer notifies us that the supply of energy to the premises is to be disconnected (a termination notice )—on a date specified by us, of which we will give you at least 5 business days but no more than 20 business days notice even if you have vacated the premises earlier; or if a different customer starts receiving supply of energy for the premises—on the date the connection contract of that customer starts; or 10 business days after we disconnect the premises under the Rules, if you have not within that period asked your retailer to reconnect the premises and met the requirements in the Rules for reconnection; or if your card-operated meter is replaced with another type of meter. Rights and obligations accrued before the end of this contract continue despite the end of this contract.
