Taking part in invited experiences

You will need to register and satisfy the following minimum eligibility criteria:

A current E.ON Next customer

To register, you must provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date contact information, including but not limited to name and email address. You are responsible for the information you provide to us. You must promptly update your account information online in the event of any changes to this information.

You are the only authorised user of your account and, accordingly, you must not disclose information to anyone else. You should contact us immediately upon discovering any unauthorised use of your membership (see Contacting us). Any breach of these terms and/or any use of your account by anyone to whom you disclose to will be treated as if the breach or use had been carried out by you and will not relieve you of your obligations to us.

Access to experiences is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide (see below). We will not be liable if for any reason Our technology is unavailable at any time or for any period.

From time to time, we may restrict access to some experiences, for E.ON Next Your Say members.

If you choose, or you are provided with a password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms of Use.

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the experiences. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our experiences through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use, and that they comply with them.

Intellectual property rights

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights via invited experiences, and the material published via them. Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.

You may print off one copy, and may download extracts, of any page(s) from the experiences for your personal reference.

You must not modify the paper or digital copies of any materials you have printed off or downloaded in any way, and you must not use any illustrations, photographs, video or audio sequences or any graphics separately from any accompanying text.

You must not use any part of the materials we share for commercial purposes without obtaining a licence to do so from us or our licensors.

Reliance on information

Commentary and other materials posted via our experiences are not intended to amount to advice on which reliance should be placed. We therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any member, or by anyone who may be informed of any of the experience’s contents.

Our liability

The Internet is by its nature an unreliable medium. Consequently, you accept that experiences invited to are offered on an ‘as is basis’ and ‘as available basis’.

This does not affect our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, nor our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter, nor any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
