Agent Site Terms of Use
Effective Date: August 01, 2023
Introduction
Please read these terms and conditions of use carefully before accessing, using, or obtaining any materials, information, products, or services. By accessing the Ampion Agent Site, mobile or tablet application, or any other feature or Ampion platform (collectively referred to as the "Agent Site"), you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept all of these Terms, then you may not use the Agent Site. In these Terms, "we," "us," "our," and "Ampion" refer to Ampion PBC, and "you" and "your" refer to you, the user of the Agent Site.
We may modify these Terms for any reason, at any time, by posting a new version on the Agent Site. These changes do not affect rights and obligations that arose prior to such changes. Your continued use of the Agent Site following the posting of modified Terms will be subject to the Terms in effect at the time of your use. Please review these Terms periodically for changes. If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with the Agent Site in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate the use of the Agent Site.
Subscriber Enrollment Through Ampion
The Ampion Agent Site serves as an energy incentive-program enrollment engine. Please note that Ampion does not provide, own, or control any of the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).
By using this site to initiate customer enrollments with Ampion, you acknowledge and agree that Ampion will make efforts to match your enrolled subscribers with available DER owners within our system. Ampion will then assign your subscribers to identified DER owners to facilitate the sharing of solar energy credits or other benefits derived from the allocated DER capacity.
It is important to note that while Ampion will strive to facilitate the matching and assignment of subscribers with available DER owners, the actual availability and assignment of DER capacity may be subject to various factors, including the geographical location of the subscriber, the capacity of the available DER systems, and regulatory requirements.
Ampion does not guarantee or warrant the availability of DER capacity for all enrolled subscribers. The matching process and assignment of subscribers to DER owners will be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the respective Community Solar projects or agreements.
By utilizing this site for customer enrollment, you understand that the process of matching and assignment is a dynamic and evolving procedure, and Ampion reserves the right to modify or update the matching mechanism and assignment process at its discretion.
Your use of this site to initiate enrollments signifies your consent to Ampion's efforts to match your enrolled subscribers with available DER owners and their subsequent assignment.

Ampion is committed to consumer protection and ethical sales practices. It is essential that you adhere to the Ampion Sales Agent Code of Conduct which is designed to safeguard the security of sensitive enrollment data, maintain the integrity of our platform, and ensure transparent and ethical conduct throughout the enrollment process.
