Welcome to the Discover Energy Insight !
To make it easier for you to understand the terms on which we provide our services, we’ve tried to keep these terms of use (Terms) as simple as possible by using plain English.
When we talk about “the Company”, “we,” “our,” or “us” in these Terms, we are referring to Discover Energy Pty Ltd ABN 20 619 204 750.

We’ve also used a few other capitalised words and phrases as shorthand to refer to recurring concepts. Each of these are defined in bold and in brackets after the concepts are first mentioned.
