Important things to know
- Fourth Trimester is a plan add-on available to Contact customers who have a newborn in the primary household. It is limited to one offer per newborn and per household.

- Fourth Trimester is limited to 1,000 customers and will be allocated on a first in, first served basis.
- The Fourth Trimester provides around three months of free energy and energy related service fees to eligible customers in the form of bill credits taking the relevant charges to zero for three consecutive full monthly bills after acceptance and does not include broadband, bottled LPG or outstanding debt.
- If you leave or move house, the Fourth Trimester will end and no credit will be given for any remaining period.
- This will apply to both estimated and actual bills and no credit will be given for any estimated read which is subsequently adjusted.

Where you receive less than 90 days, we will apply a further credit on your bill following the end of the Fourth Trimester which will be based on your average daily usage.
