Terms & Conditions

January 2026 – June 2026 Nation Options

The following document sets out the terms and conditions of service for Nation Options Limited. By using the Nation Options service/s you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Price Comparison / Switching Service

Nation Options provides a price comparison / switching service to UK businesses. To be eligible you must:

• Be a business resident in the UK
• Be eighteen years or older (if a sole trader)
• Meet the credit scoring requirements of any supplier

If you accept a quotation and a contract is executed between you and the supplier, the contract is binding and you will not be permitted to revoke acceptance.

Charges

Nation Options is remunerated directly by suppliers via a commission uplift within your unit cost. Our average uplift is a few percent of your total energy cost (typically around 1p). Further information on commission can be requested from our Customer Services team.

Duplicate contract fees / Change of Tenancy / Failure to go live

If you enter into a duplicate contract, move premises without notifying us, or fail to provide required information causing a contract to fail, Nation Options reserves the right to charge a £750 + VAT fee per meter (or the total commission we would have earned, whichever is higher).
