TERMS OF SERVICE
(Effective August 1, 2005)

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

EnergyManager.com, Inc. ("EnergyManager") welcomes you. EnergyManager provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at: EnergyManager.com/TOS. In addition, when using particular EnergyManager services, you and EnergyManager shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services which may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

EnergyManager provides users with access to EnergyManager's proprietary website for the limited purpose of enabling the user to identify and quantify discrepancies between (a) the user information that you provide and (b) published electric utility rate information for the utility(ies) that serve you and your current rate as you indicate in the user information that you provide to EnergyManager (the "Service"). You are solely responsible for determining whether such discrepancies result from inaccurate information that you provide to EnergyManager or from errors made by one of your electricity providers. The Service does not constitute or provide you with engineering, legal, accounting or other professional advice. If you are unable to determine the cause of a discrepancy reported by EnergyManager, EnergyManager recommends that you obtain such professional advice. Many other companies (including an affiliate of EnergyManager) provide consulting services related to utility costs and services on an individualized basis for a fee. You can learn about the affiliate of EnergyManager that provides such advice at: EnergyManager.com/Affiliates.

The Service may include certain communications from EnergyManager, such as service announcements and administrative messages and that these communications are considered part of the Service and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. The Service is provided "AS IS" and EnergyManager assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining and paying for access to the Service. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree: (a) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself or your company, your electric utility provider(s), your current rate, your electricity use and equipment and the level of EnergyManager Service for which you subscribe and all related requested information as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) to maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete at all times. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or EnergyManager has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, EnergyManager has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, without refund of any Subscription Fees that you previously paid.
