Electronic Signature and Communication Disclosure

We want to provide you with communications electronically and conduct business with you electronically.

Certain laws and regulations require us to provide communications to you “in writing,” which means you may be entitled to receive the information on paper. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the “E-Sign Act”) allows us to provide you communications electronically and to conduct transactions with you electronically, with your consent. We also need your general consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. Before we can provide you with any Services (as defined below), you must review and consent to the terms outlined below. Please read this Electronic Signature and Communication Disclosure ("Disclosure") carefully prior to providing us with your consent. This Disclosure describes how we deliver and receive communications to and from you electronically, and asks you to consent to doing business with us electronically and to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. If you do not agree to this Disclosure or you later withdraw your consent provided herein, you may not be able to continue to use our Services since they are provided electronically only.

The words "we," "us," and "our" means Electricity Ratings, LLC, their agents, affiliates, representatives, service providers, assignees and successors, and the words "you" and "your" means you, the individual(s) and any entity on whose behalf you may be acting (if any), who has submitted a request for Services or otherwise uses, accesses or interacts with Services. "Communication" means each application, agreement, disclosure, notice, fee schedule, response to claims, statement, privacy policy, record, document and/or other information or documents related to the Services or that you sign, submit or agree to at our request.

“Services” means each and every product or service we offer or will offer. The Scope of Communications to Be Provided in Electronic Form This Consent applies to all Communications and Services.
