If you ever use their website or app, you give up your right to sue them in court or join a class action — disputes go to private one-on-one arbitration instead. (There is a 30-day email opt-out, noted in fair points.)

you hereby agree that either you or we may require any dispute, claim, or cause of action ('Claim') between you and us or any third parties arising out of use of the Site, the Services, and any other actions with us ... to be arbitrated on an individual (non-class) basis... YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. AS PART OF THIS WAIVER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN AN ARBITRATION

Terms of Use

They can rewrite the terms of use at any time just by posting them, and you have waived your right to even be told about the change — using the site afterward counts as accepting whatever is new.

We can change, update, add, or remove provisions of these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms on the Site. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes to these Terms except for changes to our agreement to arbitration

Terms of Use

At the end of your electricity plan, they mail a renewal offer with new pricing, and if you don't actively reject it within 10 days, you're locked into the new term automatically — silence counts as a signature.

You will have 10 days from the date of the Offer to reject the Offer. Otherwise, the Offer will be deemed accepted by you without the need for further signature or other affirmative action by you.

Electricity Purchase and Sale Terms and Conditions (residential contract)

They admit that under privacy law they do 'sell' your data: identifiers, IP addresses, device IDs, geolocation, and browsing activity go to advertising networks and data analytics providers, listed as done for 'Advancing our commercial or economic interests.'

We do not sell personal data in the conventional sense. However, like many companies, we use cookies and other tracking technologies to display advertisements about our Services to you on nonaffiliated websites, applications, and online services... When we engage in those activities, we sell personal data (i.e., information from cookies) to third-party advertisers and analytics companies.

Privacy Policy

Anything you send them through the site — ideas, messages, content — they can keep, modify, republish, and sublicense to others forever, for any purpose even loosely connected to their services, without paying you.

By forwarding any content or communications to us through the Site or by other electronic means, you thereby grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, world-wide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, freely transferable, and freely sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, redistribute, and display such content and communications in any form for the purposes of providing the Services and any purpose tangentially related to the Services. No compensation will be paid to you

Terms of Use

One-sided court protection: they can get a court order against you without proving they were harmed and without posting a bond — while you're barred from suing them in court by the arbitration clause.

in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that may be sought under the mandatory arbitration provision of these Terms, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond
