ConEd ecosave Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”)

Welcome to the ConEd ecosave program (the “Program”) presented by ecobee Technologies ULC, d/b/a ecobee (“ecobee”) and Generac Grid Services LLC (“Generac”). Throughout these T&Cs, the references to “you” and “your” refer to you as the undersigned ecobee customer, participant in the Program, account holder with Consolidated Edison of NY (“Utility” or “Program Administrator”), and owner/purchaser of an eligible ecobee smart thermostat (“Thermostat”) that is connected to the electrical system of your home. Purchases of a discounted ecobee thermostat for the Program are administered through an e-commerce platform configured by Techniart Inc. ("Techniart") who is also a data processor for the Program. Your participation in the Program is governed by these T&Cs.

THIS PROGRAM IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

How the Program Works. The Program makes the services described herein available to you as an ecobee customer that will participate in a demand response program administered by Utility and managed by Generac.

For participating in the Program in accordance with these T&Cs, you will receive an incentive once the Utility approves your enrollment in the program, your device is connected and your participation is confirmed, as reflected on the attached Schedule A (“Incentive”). An Incentive is limited to one per utility account number.

The length of the term of the Program is reflected on the attached Schedule B (“Term”). These T&Cs shall be in effect for the time that you participate in the Program. The Program will continue throughout the Term unless terminated earlier in accordance with these T&Cs. At the end of the Term, ecobee or Generac may contact you about future incentive programs for which you may be eligible at that time, including, reenrollment in the Program, or other ecobee or Generac programs. If you would like to unenroll from the Program at any time, you can do so by contacting Generac Customer Support at 1-855-388-3148. If you withdraw from the Program or violate Program Requirements prior to the completion of the demand response summer season (May-September), you may forfeit your right to receive Incentives under the Program.

During the Program, your Program Administrator will initiate a number of demand response events (“Events”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program. In response, ecobee and Generac will initiate a slight setpoint adjustment on your thermostat during an Event for a duration of no more than 4 consecutive hours. The participation of your Thermostat in these Events is an essential component of the Program, and you agree to use your best efforts to participate in the maximum number of your Program Administrator’s applicable Events during the term of the Program. The number and nature of the Events will be decided by the Program Administrator. During time periods without an Event or the end of the summer demand response season, your Thermostat will not be adjusted.

Participation in the Program will not affect your Thermostat warranty, which will remain in full force and affect in accordance with its terms.

Program Requirements. The following describes your additional requirements for participation in the Program. Your failure to comply, in the sole discretion of ecobee, with any of these requirements below or any other obligation or requirement of these T&Cs or the Program may at any time result in: (a) suspension or disqualification and unenrollment from the Program; or (b) the termination of these T&Cs, and any such results shall be final and binding in all respects and without liability to ecobee or Generac. Further, failure to comply with the Program may result in your Utility modifying your participation in, suspending, or disqualifying and unenrolling you from the Program.

• You must reasonably assist ecobee’s technicians and support staff in diagnosing, troubleshooting, or remedying any problems with your Thermostat, its Connectivity, or any connected component or material system.
