About Us
We are Homebox, a trading name of Billing Better Limited (Company number: 10444812).
Homebox provides a bills management service which allows individuals and groups of residents to consolidate multiple bills at their domestic property. You will be able to choose which bills we manage which are subject to their own individual terms and conditions.

Fees and charges
You will make payment to Homebox on a monthly basis by direct debit which we deposit into a household e-money account. This payment is not directly a fee or charge, and may vary depending on the cost of your bills at the property or any one-off charges.
From your household e-money account we will:
• make payment to each Supplier for any due bills;
• collect the agreed Homebox Subscription Fee; and
• pay any one-off installation, set-up costs or cancellation fees.
A minimum Homebox Subscription Fee of £15 is payable monthly. Over 12 months the minimum total Subscription Fee is £180. Your agreed Subscription Fee is shown when you sign up and does not include the cost of any utilities or other services you have agreed to.
Where you live with other Residents, you will be jointly and severally liable with the other Residents at your Property to pay us the fees. This means that if one Resident fails to pay their share, the other Residents must pay that share.
Subscription and fee increases
Your Homebox Service is an annual subscription, payable monthly. It will automatically renew for a further 12-month period until cancelled.
You are responsible for paying the Subscription Fee until the agreement comes to an end. We will send you a reminder notice 30 days before your agreement is first renewed and then every 6 months..
Cancellation and cooling off period
You may cancel your Subscription at any time by providing us with 30 days notice by contacting us and paying the minimum Subscription Fee for each remaining month of your agreement.
You may cancel your Homebox Service within 14 days of signing up (or your annual renewal date) without penalty, under your statutory cooling-off rights.. You should email us or send us the Model Cancellation Form that is available in the PDF version of these terms. We will send any refunds due to you within 14 days when using your cooling-off rights.
The cancellation of the Homebox service does not cancel all bills we manage for you and you may be liable for any early termination fees or cancelled installation fees to the bill provider.

4. Suppliers

4.1
Our Service allows you to choose which bills you would like us to manage and from a limited selection of tariffs and Suppliers. We do not offer all Suppliers available on the market, and individual suppliers may have other tariffs available directly. Our Service allows you to choose utility bills from the following types of Suppliers:
● Gas and/or electricity supplier (authorised and regulated by Ofgem);
● Internet and telecoms provider (authorised and regulated by Ofcom);
● Water and/or sewage supplier (authorised and regulated by Ofwat);
● Council tax with a local authority; and
● TV packages
4.2
When you sign up, you will be able to choose which Suppliers you would like to service your Property. By signing up for the Service, you hereby authorise us to set up accounts (where possible) under the name of the Residents, with the chosen Suppliers. The Residents will be liable for the utility bills and bound to the terms of the Supplier. You acknowledge that by providing this authorisation, you may become directly contractually bound to the Supplier’s terms and conditions, and you agree to comply with all such terms.
4.3
Some Suppliers will require their utility bill to be in our name or will be managed through another Third Party Intermediary. Where required, you must provide such assistance and documentation as is required by any such Supplier to transfer the account into our name. However, you agree that even though the utility bill is in our name, the Residents remain liable for the full payment of the utility bills.
4.4
To enable us to provide our Service to you, you grant us the authority to contact your chosen Suppliers to transfer and/or commence the utilities services from the Supplier, and otherwise deal with your Suppliers on your behalf. This may include providing the Supplier with our own contact details including email address and correspondence address.
4.5
We may require you to sign a Letter of Authority providing us with consent to set up, close down and manage your bills with your chosen Suppliers. Where you sign this Letter of Authority digitally, you acknowledge that we may replicate this onto paper using automated means. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us.
4.6
Should any Supplier become insolvent (goes bust) we may arrange for the transfer of your utilities to a new Supplier. We will notify you should we need to transfer your Supplier. If you do not agree to the change in Supplier, you must respond to us within 14 days using the information in our notification. In the event that you choose not to transfer your Supplier through Homebox, your supply may still be transferred to a new Supplier chosen by the regulator.
4.7
Where a Supplier has become insolvent, we will work with the insolvent Supplier, their insolvency administrators and the new Supplier to transfer your account. This process can take between 3 - 6 months before final bills are confirmed, and may delay the confirmation and payment of bills and refund of any credit balances. We will only be able to issue refunds where the Supplier has credited the Household e-money account, and will hold any bill payments until we have confirmed the correct account details with the new Supplier.

5. Responsibilities

5.1
Under this Agreement You and all Residents are responsible for:
  1. Providing us with regular meter readings ideally monthly, but no less than every 3 months by taking a photo and uploading this to the Platform.
  2. Making monthly payments by direct debit to the household e-money account held with Lettspay, where a direct debit fails you must promptly contract us to arrange alternative payment;
  3. Promptly uploading all bills or notifications you receive from a Supplier by taking a photo and uploading this to the Homebox Platform.
5.2
We are responsible for:

  3. Communicating with the Supplier to resolve any issues you may have;
  4. Providing the Platform and promptly uploading all bills we receive to your Account;
5.3
You will be jointly and severally liable with the other Residents at your Property to pay us the Fees on a monthly basis until this Agreement comes to an end. This means that if one Resident fails to pay their share of the Fees, the other Residents must pay that share. In practice, if a Resident fails to pay their share of the Fees by the due date, we shall contact the Resident who has failed to pay and ask them to do so. If that Resident fails to respond, or in any event fails to pay their share of the Fees by the time the next Fees are due, then the outstanding sum shall be payable by the other Residents as part of the next bill.

6. Payment and fees

6.1
You will make payment to Homebox on a monthly basis by direct debit or other payment methods which we make available. We will deposit the payment into a Household e-money account (e-money account) held with our partner Lettspay, an e-money agent of Modulr FS Limited. This payment is not directly a fee or charge, and may vary depending on the cost of your bills at the Property.
6.2
Our Service and Platform is provided as part of the Subscription which will continue for an initial period of 12 months. You will be charged a monthly Subscription Fee which is based on the number of bills we manage for your Property and the number of Residents. We will confirm the monthly Subscription Fee amount when you sign up and request a quote.
6.3
We will use the balance from your e-money account to make payment to the bill providers and to collect the Subscription Fee. The balance remains on the account for future bills which fluctuate with seasonal energy usage. With the exception of unlimited energy tariffs, the balance is returned to you when the Agreement has concluded.
6.4
For each Property we will estimate the average monthly household costs taking into account all bills and fees. This is then divided across all liable Residents as the monthly payment due from You and/or each Resident. We periodically revise the estimate of your household costs and update the monthly payment amount accordingly. Where the payment amount increases we will provide you with reasonable notice of the increase.
6.5
You agree that you must pay any set up costs due to a Supplier, including installation of a telephone line or other internet connection and the costs of providing, installing and delivering an Internet router. We will make these setup costs available to you, and these set up costs will be included in the first payment you are required to make.
6.6
You may request a refund of any credit in your household e-money account which exceeds your monthly payment amount, after considering all outstanding bills for that period. We reserve the right to refuse any request where we believe the credit balance is necessary for any seasonal changes in energy usage or anticipated tariff increases.
6.7
Once you have signed up to an Account and we have agreed to provide you with our Service, you agree to pay the monthly Homebox Subscription Fee by the specified Payment Date to benefit from your Subscription.
6.8
During the term of your Subscription, you will be charged the same Subscription Fee on an ongoing monthly basis from the Payment Date. If new bills are added or the number of residents change, we may charge a supplementary Service fee at the same per bill and/or resident rate. We will provide you with reasonable notice of these changes.
6.9
Your Subscription will be terminated at the tenancy end date, provided that this has been provided to us prior to the subscription period either at sign up or before any Subscription renewal.
6.10
Unless your Subscription is terminated in accordance with this Agreement, your Subscription will automatically renew after the first 12 months, for further periods on an ongoing annual basis.
6.11
Every six months, we will provide you with renewal notification. We reserve the right to increase the Subscription fee at your renewal date by providing you with reasonable notice. The notice period will be sufficient to allow you with the option to not renew your Subscription if you do not agree to the increase in the Subscription Fee.
6.12
You must promptly inform us if a Resident leaves the Property, provide the details of the new Resident, if any. We will continue to provide the Services to all remaining Residents, and the monthly payments will be divided across all remaining Residents.

7.7
