You need to post the error message to give us a chance to suggest solutions.  Snippets of code with no context don't give us anything to go on.

the error that i am getting is 

System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object

This sounds like one of your getinstance method calls is returning null.

 

Do you definitely have custom setting instances with those names?
