Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to Sunder Energy! We provide property owners access to solar energy products.

Please carefully read through these terms and conditions (“Agreement”), because it is a binding agreement between our website visitors, users, mobile and web application end users, current and potential customers, clients, our potential and actual employees, contractors, and other business partners (“you” or “your“) and Sunder Energy, LLC (“Sunder,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). This Agreement is effective when you sign up or otherwise use any of the Services or access any content or material that is made available by Sunder through the Services (the “Content”).

This Agreement incorporates our Privacy Policy (https://sunderenergy.com/privacy-policy/). You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by it. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Privacy Policy, then you may not use the Services or consume any Content.

The term “Services” includes all software, mobile and web applications, widgets, tools, and functionality made available through the Services, including our platform and any help desk system, connectivity API’s, related support services, and business relationship services. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new features or products, including those that require additional fees, are also included in the term “Services.” If you have a separate agreement with us and the provisions of that separate agreement conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of that separate agreement control.

You may access the Services via a mobile phone or other mobile device. You acknowledge that your mobile carrier’s standard charges and data rates apply to any access to the Services from any mobile device. Further, your access to the Services may be limited by your mobile carrier’s terms and policies or by your mobile device’s settings, software, and hardware. We are not responsible to provide the Services to you based on your mobile carrier’s or mobile device’s requirements or limitations.

D. User-Generated Content

Certain portions of the Services allow you to upload or post your information to the Services. The information that you post may or may not be intended to be made available to third parties (including, for example, text, messages, compilations, personal information, names, pictures, payment information, reviews, and other information) (“User Content”). For the avoidance of doubt, “User Content” includes any such content posted to any support community we may establish, as well as to any other part of the Services.

You represent and warrant that, with respect to any User Content you post, (1) you have all requisite consent and authority, whether by ownership or right through a license to post such User Content, and (2) such User Content, or its use by Company as contemplated by this Agreement, does not violate this Agreement, applicable law, or the intellectual property (including without limitation copyright), publicity, personality, or other rights of others or imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Content by Company or any entity or individual without express written consent from such individual or entity.

We may, but we have no obligation to, monitor or review User Content. In all cases, we reserve the right to remove or disable access to any User Content for any or no reason, including but not limited to, User Content that, in our sole discretion, violates the Agreement. We may take these actions without prior notification to you or any third party. Removal or disabling of access to User Content is at our sole discretion, and we do not promise to remove or disable access to any specific User Content.

Where applicable and permitted under applicable law, you also waive any “moral rights” (or the equivalent under applicable law) such as your right to be identified as the author of any User Content.

You are solely responsible for all User Content that you post and share in any manner. We are not responsible for User Content, nor do we endorse any opinion contained in any User Content. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER LOCAL LAW, YOU SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD US HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS) IF ANYONE BRINGS A CLAIM AGAINST US RELATED TO USER CONTENT THAT YOU POST, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO SUCH CLAIM.
