In the event that the rate of CPI is negative, we will only increase the Fees by 3.9% in the relevant year. For example, a previous monthly charge of £100 + VAT would become £109.30 + VAT assuming a January CPI of 5.4%.
- Subject to applicable regulations, we shall increase our Fees for any Services (including without limitation by revising any tariff) as a result of any increase in charges made to us by third party providers by a sum equal to any such increase. In such circumstances you shall not have the right to cancel the Contract.
- Where we propose to increase our Fees for any Services (including by revising without limitation any Tariff) as a consequence of a regulatory change and that the increase is no greater than the additional cost to us caused by the regulatory change, we will give you written notice of any such increase not less than 30 days before the proposed date of the increase. In such circumstances you shall not have the right to cancel the Contract.
