User Portal Terms of Use
Effective Date: July 23, 2024
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 User Portal, mobile or tablet application, or any other feature or Ampion platform (collectively referred to as the "User Portal"), 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 User Portal. In these Terms, "we," "us," "our," and "Ampion" refer to Ampion PBC, and "you" and "your" refer to you, the user of the User Portal.
We may modify these Terms for any reason, at any time, by posting a new version on the User Portal. These changes do not affect rights and obligations that arose prior to such changes. Your continued use of the User Portal 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 User Portal in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate the use of the User Portal.
Subscription and Services
The Ampion User Portal serves as a gateway to energy incentive programs and related services. Please note that Ampion does not provide, own, or control any of the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).
By using this portal to participate in programs with Ampion, you acknowledge and agree that Ampion will make efforts to provide you access to available DER owners within our system. The actual availability and access to DER capacity may be subject to various factors, including your geographical location, the capacity of available DER systems, and regulatory requirements pertaining to both the specific DER and the meter classification of the offtaker.
Ampion does not guarantee or warrant the availability of DER capacity for all users. The process of accessing DERs will be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the respective Community Solar projects or agreements.
Your Responsibilities
You will be responsible for all use of the User Portal under your unique username. You will not share your username and password with anyone, and you will not allow anyone other than yourself to access your credentials. You agree not to engage in any improper use of the User Portal, including but not limited to providing false information, impersonating any person or entity, attempting unauthorized access, or violating any applicable laws or regulations.
The permissions you receive under this Contract are bound by the following limitations: (a) you are prohibited from licensing, selling, or otherwise using the Services or Website for commercial resale purposes; (b) you may not alter, translate, adapt, or engage in reverse engineering of any element of Ampion’s Services or web assets, as such actions are explicitly forbidden by law; (c) you are not allowed to use any manual or automatic methods, such as spiders, bots or other data-mining tools, to collect data from our web assets (d) unless explicitly mentioned in this Contract, you may not copy, distribute, or display any part of the Services or Website.
Your Data
Ampion will use your personal data only as long as necessary to enroll, manage, bill and collect payment for your participation in the energy incentive programs and related services, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws, or as needed to identify, preempt, and recover from any security events or incidents. If you wish for Ampion to remove your personal data, you may request this in writing by contacting security@ampion.net. Removal of payment tokens can only be completed after all subscriptions have been deallocated and all balances have been paid in full. Ampion will need to retain records of payments or non-payments and certain other information for operational, legal and tax purposes.
Intellectual Property
We, along with our corporate affiliates, own all of the text, images, software, trademarks, service marks, and other materials contained on the User Portal. You will not copy or transmit any of this material without proper authorization.
