SERVICE PROVIDERS
Siteowner connects customers with companies and persons (hereinafter, “Providers”) that provide services and sell products.  Some of these services relate to energy services.  This Site does not represent or imply that any service category available on this Site contains a complete or comprehensive list or choice of all service Providers that can provide service to you at your particular address. This Site may exclude certain service Providers that have not agreed to participate on this Site. Accordingly, there may be service Providers that can provide you with service at your particular address that do not appear on this Site and are not listed as a choice for you to select under a particular service category contained on this Site. You are in no way obligated to use this Site or to choose any particular service provider that appears on this Site.
Our websites will suggest various Providers for your energy service.  We do not guarantee that you will receive the lowest price or the best service.  We do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the prices listed on this or other affiliated websites are the lowest prices offered in the market, or even the lowest prices offered by the referenced service Providers.  We make no warranties or representations of any kind regarding the services you will receive.  Various Providers pay us fees to refer them customers.  In some cases, our fees from energy services Providers are $0.006 per kilowatt hour of electricity.  We may refer you to a provider or list a specific provider or promote a specific provider specifically because they pay us a higher fee than other Providers in the same market.  In this regard, there may have a conflict of interest between your interests and our interests.  By using our websites, you acknowledge this conflict of interest, agree to conduct your own due diligence to determine whether our recommendations are appropriate for you, and waive any and all claims you might have against us arising out of any such conflict.

USE OF OUR SERVICES
Whenever you order or purchase a service or product through this Site you are warranting to us and the applicable service provider that you are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal authority to enter into the transactions made available through this Site and will use this service in accordance with all terms and conditions herein and as set forth in this Site.

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INFORMATION PORTRAYED
Siteowner is not responsible for content contained on our sites, including pricing information for the Services.  With regard to energy services, the Total Rate shown on our sites may differ from the Total Rate shown on Providers’ sites and may differ from what you might experience if you become a customer of one of our Providers.  Providers may change their rates from time to time and such changes are beyond our control.  Computation of Total Rates depend on assumptions for average usage and rounding rules, which may differ between our Site and Providers’ sites.   You should rely on the Total Rates posted by Providers in the market rather than on information provided on our sites.  You are responsible for reading and understanding the terms of service and other disclosures made by Providers.

PROVIDER CONTRACTS
If you enter into an agreement with a Provider, you will be responsible for reading and understanding the terms of that contract.  It is also your responsibility to comply with the terms of any such agreement.  You will be solely responsible for any early termination or other fees associated with that agreement in the event that you breach the agreement or terminate it early.  We cannot be liable for any damages to you in the event that a Provider breaches its agreement with you.  In that event, we will be happy to assist you in locating another provider.  You waive any claims for damages against us, and represent and warrant to us that you are not relying on us to recommend any particular provider.  You agree that you will conduct full due diligence on any Provider with whom you choose to do business and you recognize that we have not conducted any such due diligence.
