Reliance on Information Posted
The information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Website, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. Mention of solar having "no cost" or being "free" are general terms and are not meant to be a definitive guarantee that all aspects of obtaining solar power is free. Many partners associated with this site offer solar installation for free, yet there still may be a cost for the panels or electric inverters. It is truly "free to switch to solar", and there is no cost upfront to switch to solar in most cases. Purchase of residential solar is extremely nuanced, and will vary depending on which company you speak to (for a list of partners and affiliates associated with this site, see our Partner List). Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are solar products in which the solar panels and installation is truly free, where homeowners can buy a cheaper rate of power from the company that owns the solar panels (in these scenarios, you agree to lease the panels and there is no cost for installation or to receive their benefits). Contrary to PPAs or leasing, purchasing a residential solar system is required to receive most federal and/or state tax or rebate incentives, and the amount in government incentives depend on the overall cost of your solar system. Buying a solar system in cash can be significantly less expensive than using a loan product. Loan products vary on several factors, including but not limited to: interest rates, dealer fees, and length of loan terms. This site by no means is making a financial recommendation on which solar or loan product is the best fit for those who utilize this site or agree to be contacted by a licensed solar contractor in their state.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THESE PROVISIONS CAREFULLY, AS THEY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS
Binding Arbitration. YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE VALIDITY, APPLICABILITY OR INTERPRETATION OF THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY (A “DISPUTE”) WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-applicable rules, including (as appropriate) its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single independent and neutral arbitrator. For any hearing conducted in person as part of the arbitration, you agree that the hearing will be conducted in New York County, New York or the Southern District of New York. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver. ANY DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ARBITRATION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LEGAL ACTION. YOUR ACCESS AND CONTINUED USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES SIGNIFIES YOUR EXPLICIT CONSENT TO THIS WAIVER.
IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN COURTS OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you and the Company may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, whether in aid of, pending or independently of the resolution of any Dispute pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth above.
Telephone Communications and Agreement to be Contacted
Call Recording and Monitoring. You acknowledge that telephone calls to or from the Company, together with its agents and affiliates, may be monitored and recorded and you agree to such monitoring and recording.
Providing Telephone Numbers and Other Contact Information. You verify that any contact information provided to the Company, including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, email address, your residential or business telephone number, and/or your mobile telephone number, is true and accurate. You verify that you are the current subscriber or owner of any telephone number that you provide. You are strictly prohibited from providing a phone number that is not your own. If we discover that any information provided in connection with your registration is false or inaccurate, we may suspend or terminate your account at any time. Should any of your contact information change, including ownership of your telephone numbers, you agree to immediately notify us before the change goes into effect by texting STOP to any text message, calling us at 702-462-7237, mail at 9550 S Eastern Ave. Suite 253-A084 Las Vegas, NV 89123, or email at [email protected].
Your Consent to Receive Automated Calls/Texts. You acknowledge that by voluntarily providing your telephone number(s), you expressly agree to receive artificial voices, prerecorded voice messages, and/or autodialed calls and text messages (such as SMS, MMS, or successor protocols or technologies) from the Company related to promotions, any transaction, and/or your relationship with Company. You acknowledge that automated calls or text messages may be made to your telephone number(s) even if your telephone number(s) is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. You agree that the Company may obtain, and you expressly agree to be contacted at, any email addresses, mailing addresses, or phone numbers provided by you or your representative at any time or obtained through other lawful means, such as skip tracing, caller ID capture, or other means.

You understand that you do not have to agree to receive automated promotional calls/texts as a condition of purchasing any goods or services. To opt-out, please see the Opt-Out Instructions below.

You may also text HELP for help. You acknowledge and agree to accept a final text message confirming your opt-out. We may use different shortcodes for different messaging purposes, so texting STOP to one shortcode will not effectuate a stop request for all shortcodes to which you are subscribed. If you would like to stop messages from multiple shortcodes, text STOP to each shortcode to which you would like to unsubscribe. To opt-out of automated voice calls (not text messages), you must (i) provide us with written notice revoking your consent to receiving automated calls; (ii) in that written notice, you must include your full name, mailing address, account number, and the specific phone number(s) for which you wish to stop automated calls; and (iii) send this written notice to 9550 S Eastern Ave. Ste. 253-A084 Las Vegas, NV 89123.

You waive any rights to bring claims for unauthorized or undesired calls or text messages by failing to opt-out immediately or by failing to follow these instructions. Please allow up to thirty (30) days to process any opt-out request. Please note that if you opt out of automated calls or text messages, we reserve the right to make non-automated calls to you. It is possible that third parties may have your contact information and you may continue to receive communications from these third parties despite an opt out request. We are not responsible for unwanted contact from third parties. Please contact third parties directly to inform them of your communication preferences.
Fees and Charges. There is no fee to receive automated telephone calls or text messages from the Company. However, you may incur a charge for these calls or text messages from your telephone carrier, which is your sole responsibility. Message and data rates may apply.

You represent and warrant that you are authorized to incur such charges and acknowledge that the Company is not responsible for such charges.
Unauthorized Use of Your Telephone Device. You must notify the Company immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your telephone device.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all such claims, losses, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). We shall have the exclusive right to choose counsel, at your expense, to defend any such claims.
Release of Claims. In consideration of the services provided by the Company, you hereby release the Company from any and all claims, causes of action, lawsuits, injuries, damages, losses, liabilities or other harms resulting from or relating to telephone calls or text messages, including without limitation any claims, causes of action, or lawsuits based on any alleged violations of the law (including, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Caller ID Act, Telemarketing Sales Rule, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or any similar state and local acts or statutes, and any federal or state tort or consumer protection laws).
