Sunrun.com Terms of Service

Last updated: April 16, 2021

IMPORTANT: The section below titled “Dispute Resolution & Arbitration” requires you to arbitrate claims you may have against Sunrun Inc. ("Sunrun" or "we"), meaning you cannot bring claims against Sunrun in court, and confirms your agreement to a class action waiver in arbitration. It affects your legal rights. Please read it carefully.

Welcome to sunrun.com. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and Sunrun, regarding your use of our websites (including www.sunrun.com and www.mysunrun.com), our mobile application (mySunrun), and our services, including our services available through our online tools (the website and services are collectively referred to as the "Service"). Please read these Terms carefully.

In addition, when using certain features of the Service, such as any downloadable software applications and the Credit Tool that we make available, you also will be subject to any additional guidelines, terms, or agreements applicable to such features ("Policies"). All such Policies are incorporated by reference into these Terms. If these Terms are inconsistent with any Policy, the terms in the Policy will control.

We may periodically make changes to these Terms. By accessing or using the Service or downloading and installing the application, you accept these Terms and any modifications that we may make to these Terms. It is your responsibility to review the most recent version of the Terms frequently and remain informed of any changes to it. If you continue to use the Service after we modify these Terms, you will be deemed to have consented to terms of the modified Agreement for your use of the Service as of the date of the modification. If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

The Service. Sunrun provides a simple and affordable option for homeowners who want to switch to solar energy. Homeowners can receive free quotes for home solar solutions. Sunrun partners with top PV panel installation companies to install solar systems. Sunrun monitors the performance of your system and provides full insurance and a money-back performance guarantee. Sunrun delivers an assortment of services through the Service, including the ability for customers to pay their Sunrun bill and view the output of their solar power system.
Eligibility. You must be 18 years of age or older to use the Service. Use of the Service is void where prohibited. You represent and warrant that any profile information you submit is true and accurate and that you are 18 years of age or older and are fully able and competent to enter into and abide by these Terms. The Services are not intended for those under the age of 18.
Account Registration. If you have entered into a Solar Power Purchase Agreement or Lease Agreement with Sunrun ("Sunrun Customer"), you must register for an online account to use certain features of the Service. You may be required to provide billing or additional information. When you register, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information about you as may be prompted by registration forms on the Service ("Registration Data"); (b) maintain the security of any logins, passwords, or other credentials that you select or that are provided to you for use on the Service; and (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to us, and to keep all such information accurate, current, and complete. You will notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security by emailing us at customercare@sunrun.com.
Payments by Sunrun Customers. You may use the Service to pay invoices from Sunrun, including your monthly invoice for your lease or your electricity production, either an estimated amount or the actual amount generated. Sunrun reserves the right to implement fees or change the fees for certain Services at any time by providing you notice on the Service or otherwise. If you elect to use the Service to pay invoices from Sunrun, you authorize Sunrun to charge or to direct its third party payment processors to charge the credit card, debit card, or bank account identified by you (which you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use) for the amount of the selected invoice in US dollars, including all applicable taxes. If you choose to use the Service to make recurring payments, you agree that your credit card, debit card, or bank account will automatically be charged by Sunrun or its third party payment processors. If you wish to terminate a recurring payment and avoid a charge for a subsequent time period, you must do so at least 7 days before the next recurring payment. You may cancel a recurring payment by emailing Sunrun at customercare@sunrun.com. If Sunrun does not receive payment from your credit card provider or bank, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand, and Sunrun may suspend your access to the Service in addition to any other remedies Sunrun may have under this Agreement or the Solar Power Service Agreement. Sunrun reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your credit card by the issuer, bank, or financial institution including, but not limited to, membership, overdraft, insufficient funds, and over the credit limit fees. You agree to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within 90 days after they first appear on your account statement. If you do not bring them to our attention within 90 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. All sales are final and Sunrun will not issue refunds.
Promotions. As a part of the Service, we may email or provide you offers and other specials from Sunrun or from third parties (collectively "Promotions"). Promotions may expire, and are otherwise subject to change without notice. We have no control over their legality or the ability of any third-party to conduct or honor a Promotion (including the sale in accordance with the offer).
Use of Data. Depending on your user settings and what information you provide us, Sunrun may help you monitor your home solar power system by providing you with data, including statistics about your solar power system, projections about future usage, or statistics about your monthly invoices ("Data"). While the Data may represent how your solar system is functioning, the Data is not strictly used in the calculation of your monthly invoices. Also, some of the Data may not post to the Service immediately (e.g., your system output). Any Data on the Service is for informational purposes only. Sunrun does not confirm the accuracy of any Data posted to the Service. Sunrun is not responsible for your use of the Data.
Credit Tool. Sunrun may provide you the opportunity to run a credit report through a third party ("Credit Tool").

Copyright Infringement. We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and ask you to do the same.

If you believe that your user content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content in your user content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the copyright agent: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (3) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; (4) your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address; and (5) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in San Francisco, California and will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
