Before signing
Points to check
- The retail supplier, generation investor and Kraken software business are affiliated but legally and commercially distinct.
- Check smart-meter requirements for time-of-use products.
- Recalculate the quote with your own annual consumption, contract dates and every known fee.
- Confirm broker remuneration, renewal terms, payment method and the complaint escalation route in writing.
