Yorkshire Energy: 45 days before tariff end but will they charge exit fee?

My tariff with Yorkshire Energy is finishing at the end of September. I've done a cheap energy club comparision using updated energy usage amounts and Igloo come out best. Martin says at the top of the Energy Club comparison that companies shouldn't charge you an exit fee within 50 days of renewal but checking the T&Cs it says:

7.4 If you leave us before the end of your contract or move onto another available tariff you may be liable to pay an exit fee.

Has anyone else been in this situation with YE - were you charged? I'm hovering over the switch but don't want a nasty surprise! TIA

The Ofgem rule for a penalty free exit is to initiate the Switch 49 days or less from the contract End Date - I found no problems with YE with a switch

It takes about 3 weeks for the Switch to be made, but two weeks of this is your 14 day window to change your mind
