Savings as a Service
These Terms & Conditions are in addition to Hub Controls General Terms & Conditions found here.
The Hub Controller cost covers the Works. Where required, Additional Works will be quoted by Us before the commencement of the Works. Any Additional Works and costs thereof will be agreed upon prior to commencement of the Works and/or Additional Works.
To avail of the savings guarantee after the first year:
- Automated Energy Reduction (“Eco-mode”) must be activated at all times.
- Monthly savings will be calculated on an annual basis.
- Savings can only be verified on a like-for-like basis. Utility providers may increase prices or may offer discounts which will distort savings generated from the Hub Controller.
- Calculations will be based on the annual cost which would have been incurred had the Hub Controller not been installed
No warranty is provided regarding the functionality of the Product, including;
- the compatibility with your smartphone and home internet network; and
- whether the Product will meet your own specific requirements.
The subscription fee for the Hub Controller service will be charged to your Payment Method once the Hub has been installed. Billing and payment collection will occur on the monthly anniversary of the date of installation. In some cases your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month.
Payment Methods. To use the Hub Controller service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. You must pay all the Charges for which we bill you, together with any Value Added Tax and any other taxes (at applicable rates from time to time) which apply in relation to any Charges payable under this Agreement. We will bill you one monthly period in advance for the Services.
Updating your Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods by updating your details via our payment portal or contacting Hub Controls at sales@hubcontrols.com. We may also update your Payment Methods using the information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s).
Cancellation. You can cancel your Hub Controller subscription at any time (after minimum period has ended), and you will continue to have access to the full Hub Controller service through the end of your billing period. Payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial membership periods. To cancel call our Customer Service contact number at +353 1 908 1771.

We shall notify your relevant bank or building society each month of the sums due to us from your account.

If your bank or building society is unable to make payment in any one month we reserve the right to immediately suspend any Direct Debit facility and demand a different method of payment.
We are entitled to calculate charges for any period in order to bring your account into line with our billing cycle, and for that purpose we reserve the right to add the whole or part of any month’s (or other billing period’s) Charges to future bills.

If you want to terminate this Agreement after the Minimum Period, one month’s written notice is required.
