4. ENROLLMENT IN ONE BILL
Nexamp may offer a service that allows you to consolidate the bills you receive from your Utility and Nexamp into one bill that is paid automatically each billing cycle (“One Bill”).To use the One Bill feature, you must be enrolled in our autopay program and paperless billing. If you are enrolled in the One Bill service:
5. AUTOPAY & RECURRING PAYMENTS
By enrolling in autopay for payments due under your Community Solar Subscription Agreement (“Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill”) or the One Bill service, you authorize and order Nexamp to have your payment method debited or charged for the amount noted on your monthly Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill or One Bill, as applicable. You understand that this authorization and order will remain in effect until you cancel it in writing, which must occur at least fifteen (15) days prior to the next Transaction Date in order to take effect for that billing period. You understand that funds may be withdrawn from your account each period no later than 10 days after your Utility bill(s) post to your Utility Account (or if you use One Bill with multiple Utilities, within 10 days of the earliest Utility bill posting to your Utility Accounts). If you are enrolled in the One Bill service and you stop automatic payment by notifying Nexamp in writing or disabling automatic payment through the Nexamp website, or if you are unenrolled from One Bill as described in Section 4, Nexamp will no longer pay your Utility bills.
If you stop automatic payment, you authorize an immediate debit or charge of your payment account for any currently outstanding balance. If you had been enrolled in the One Bill service, you will be responsible for paying all future Utility bill(s) directly to your utility. If you have a Community Solar Subscription Agreement in addition to One Bill, new Nexamp Community Solar Bill balances will continue to be visible through the Service, but new Utility bills will not be visible.
You agree to receive the notice required by 12 C.F.R. § 1005.10(d)(2) only if the difference between (a) your current Nexamp One Bill and your previous Nexamp One Bill or (b) your current Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill and your previous Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill meets an applicable threshold in this paragraph. For business customers, your One Bill must be $5,000 greater than the previous month’s One Bill or Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill. For residential customers, your Nexamp One Bill or Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill must be (1) $1,000 greater than the previous month’s One Bill or Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill, as applicable and (2) 150% variant greater than the average of your previous thirteen-months Nexamp One Bills or Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill, as applicable. However, if you are a residential customer who has solar power and has an annual “true-up” with your Utility, your Nexamp One Bill or Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill must be $5,000 greater than the previous month’s Nexamp One Bill or Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill.
If when Nexamp attempts to debit or charge your payment method for the One Bill, there is a rejection for insufficient funds or declined credit, you understand that Nexamp may, at its option, attempt to contact you in order to resolve the missed payment, but if full payment is not received within three (3) calendar days of the invoice date, you will be removed from the One Bill.Once you are removed from the One Bill, you will become responsible for paying all Utility bill balances, currently outstanding as well as future balances, directly to your Utility. Nexamp is not responsible for delays in paying your Utility due to insufficient funds.If you have a Community Solar Subscription Agreement, you will become responsible for paying your Nexamp Community Solar Subscription Bill when due.Nexamp is not responsible for any overdraft fees, over-the-limit fees, or insufficient fund charges (including finance charges, late fees, or similar charges) charged to you by your financial institution as a result of your failure to maintain a sufficient balance or sufficient credit to process the payment to Nexamp. Nexamp reserves the right to charge you for any such fees or charges assessed to Nexamp that result from your failure to maintain a sufficient balance or sufficient credit to process the payment to Nexamp. In addition, transaction fees may apply for credit card and ACH bank debit payments. You agree not to dispute Nexamp’s recurring billing with your financial institution, bank or credit card company provided it is conducted in accordance with these Terms.
6. ELECTRONIC CONSENT REGARDING RECURRING PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION
If you enroll in autopay, you consent to receive a copy of your payment authorization for recurring monthly payments in electronic form only instead of receiving a paper copy. This consent applies only to recurring payment authorizations as to which we are required to provide you with a written copy under applicable law. If you would like a paper copy of your recurring payment authorization, you may contact us at support@nexamp.com to request a paper copy. We may charge you a reasonable service charge for the delivery of a paper copy, but we will inform you of the applicable service charge at the time of your request.
7. ONE BILL
If you are enrolled in the One Bill service:
Within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date, you will receive one One Bill upon each utility statement being posted by the utility from Nexamp instead of a monthly bill from your Utility. Your One Bill will show (i) any amounts owed by you to your Utility; (ii) any amounts owed by you to Nexamp; and (iii) your savings resulting from any community solar credits you received, if applicable.It may also show any environmental impact associated with your participation in a program, if applicable. Nexamp will check the payment method you have on file to confirm that sufficient funds exist and send you your One Bill.Three calendar days after we send your One Bill, we will remit payment on your behalf to the Utility and charge your payment method.You agree to pay to Nexamp the amount shown on each One Bill.
8. UTILITY ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS

In connection with the One Bill service, you authorize Nexamp to receive Utility notices on your behalf, where permitted, and you acknowledge and agree that we may not send any or all of these notices to you. You agree that Nexamp shall not be liable for any delays or failure to deliver any Utility notices to you.
You acknowledge and agree that when Nexamp is accessing and retrieving your account information from third-party sites, Nexamp is acting on your behalf as your agent, and not as the agent for or on behalf of the third party.
By using the One Bill service, you acknowledge and agree that Nexamp is acting only as an intermediary between you and your Utility and is not a party to any transaction between you and your Utility. Nexamp assumes no responsibility or liability of any kind with respect to your relationship with your Utility, including with regards to the delivery of electricity, natural gas or any other utility provided by your Utility, and Nexamp does not endorse, recommend, and/or assume any responsibility or liability for any products, services or statements made by your Utility.
Nexamp is not liable for the accuracy of your Utility bills or errors by the Utility. If you believe your Utility bill is inaccurate, you must address this directly with your Utility. Nexamp uses commercially reasonable efforts to generate your One Bill in a timely manner with accurate information. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the content of any One Bill, and Nexamp will not be liable for any delays or failure to deliver your Utility bill(s). You agree to hold Nexamp harmless should your Utility fail to deliver your Utility bill(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all Utility bills.

SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEXAMP DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (i) PAYMENTS WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOUR UTILITY ON TIME (ONE BILL SERVICE); (ii) THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICE IS FREE OF ERRORS; (iii) THE FUNCTIONS OR FEATURES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MECHANISMS FOR THE DOWNLOADING AND UPLOADING OF CONTENT) WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS; (iv) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR (v) THE SERVICE OR THE SERVER(S) THAT MAKE THE SERVICE AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXAMP MAKES NO WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE TIMING OF PAYMENTS TO THE UTILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE ONE BILL SERVICE. YOU SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY COST INCURRED BY YOU OR NEXAMP DUE TO ANY DELAY IN PAYMENT TO THE UTILITY NOT CAUSED BY NEXAMP, INCLUDING ANY DELAY IN PAYMENT CAUSED BY (A) INSUFFICIENT FUNDS RECEIVED FROM YOU, INCLUDING FROM ANY AUTOMATIC PAYMENT METHOD THAT YOU AUTHORIZED, (B) INCORRECT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU, (C) THE UTILITY, OR (D) FORCE MAJEURE. NEXAMP SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LATE FEES OR PENALTIES CHARGED BY THE UTILITY DUE TO A DELAY IN PAYMENT TO THE UTILITY CAUSED BY NEXAMP.
20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NEXAMP OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, VENDORS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO DATA, OR COSTS OF OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE, ANY MATERIALS, INFORMATION, OR RECOMMENDATIONS APPEARING ON THE SERVICE, OR ANY LINK PROVIDED ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER OR NOT NEXAMP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CIVIL LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, VIOLATION OF STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE.
THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO ANY DAMAGES OR PERSONAL INJURY ARISING FROM ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DELETION, DEFECTS, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUSES, FILE CORRUPTION, COMMUNICATION-LINE FAILURE, NETWORK OR SYSTEM OUTAGE, YOUR LOSS OF PROFITS, ANY THEFT, DESTRUCTION, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, LOSS OR USE OF, ANY RECORD OR DATA, AND ANY OTHER TANGIBLE OR INTANGIBLE LOSS.

THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN NEXAMP AND YOU.
BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

This provision does not require you to indemnify us for any unconscionable commercial practice by Nexamp or for Nexamp’s negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact. You agree that the provisions in this Section will survive any termination of your account, these Terms or your access to the Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Nexamp and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees harmless from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

These Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Nexamp will be interpreted in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States of America without regard to any conflict-of-law or other principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
Exclusive Venue. Any claim or dispute that between you and Nexamp that arises out of or is related to the Service and is not eligible for small claims action shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defense of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
Force Majeure. Under no circumstances shall Nexamp or its licensors or suppliers be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure”).
Notices. We may deliver notice to you by email, posting a notice on the Service or any other method we choose and such notice will be effective on dispatch. If you give notice to us, it will be effective when received by mail at Nexamp, 101 Summer Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02110, Attn: General Counsel. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Nexamp by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Service except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you used the Service, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Service may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Service for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law.
Entire Agreement. These Terms (and all terms and conditions incorporated herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and Nexamp with respect to your use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and Nexamp on the subject matter, except as expressly provided herein. These Terms apply only to the Service and do not supersede any terms specific to Community Solar in your Community Solar Subscription Agreement.
Severability. In the event that any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.
Relationship of the Parties. No partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these Terms. No agency relationship is intended or created by these Terms beyond or other than the agency relationship created and described in Section 9.
Third-Party Beneficiaries. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
System Availability. Nexamp will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available at all times except for: (a) planned downtime, or (b) any unavailability due to Force Majeure. Planned downtime and routine maintenance and updates may result in temporary unavailability of the Service. Nexamp will have no liability to you or any third party in respect of your inability to access the Service at any time.
Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms or respond to a violation by any party does not waive our right to subsequently enforce any terms or conditions of the Terms or respond to any violations.
Interpretation. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
Section Titles. The headings used in the Terms are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.
