PART 2: TERMS OF SERVICE

  1. Scope of Services & Relationship

1776 Energy LLC is a registered electric broker.

  • Broker Status Only: We act strictly as an intermediary between you and licensed Retail Electric Providers (REPs) or energy suppliers. We are not an energy supplier, we do not generate or distribute electricity, and we do not issue your monthly utility bills.
  • No Utility Responsibilities: Any issues regarding power outages, line maintenance, or billing discrepancies must be managed directly with your local Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) or your chosen retail supplier.
  1. Service Fees and Broker Compensation
  • No Direct Client Fees: 1776 Energy LLC does not charge residential or commercial clients any direct fees for our standard utility rate comparison and procurement services.
  • Broker Compensation Disclosure: In compliance with applicable regulatory standards, you acknowledge that 1776 Energy LLC is a compensated intermediary. Our brokerage services are funded via commissions paid directly by the retail energy provider or supplier with whom you choose to enroll.
  1. Rate Quotes and Market Volatility
  • Quotes are Non-Binding: Any electricity rate quotes provided by 1776 Energy LLC are estimates based on wholesale market conditions at that specific moment. Rates fluctuate constantly and are not guaranteed until a final contract is formally accepted, processed, and executed by the chosen supplier.
  • No Future Performance Guarantees: We provide rate comparisons based on historical data and current market availability. We offer no guarantees that the selected rate will remain the lowest option available in the market during the life of your contract.
  • Utility Pass-Through Charges: You acknowledge that retail electricity rates are subject to change based on adjustments to non-bypassable delivery fees mandated by local utilities and approved by governing regulatory bodies. 1776 Energy LLC is not responsible for changes to your total bill resulting from utility rate adjustments.
  1. Finality of Contracts

Once you sign an electricity supply contract with a provider, that contract constitutes a legally binding agreement strictly between you and that provider. 1776 Energy LLC has no authority to alter, cancel, or terminate your contract, nor are we liable for any early termination fees you may incur if you switch providers.

  1. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, 1776 Energy LLC, its officers, and its employees, shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of our Services. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of business revenue, power interruptions, grid failures, billing errors by the provider, or data breaches occurring outside our direct control.

Because our brokerage and procurement services are provided to you at no direct cost, you agree that 1776 Energy LLC holds zero financial liability ($0.00) for any claims, losses, or disputes arising under these Terms.

  1. Dispute Resolution & Mandatory Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

  • Mandatory Arbitration: You and 1776 Energy LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or our Services will be settled through binding, individual arbitration, rather than in a court of law.
  • Waiver of Jury Trial: You agree to waive your right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class-action lawsuit against 1776 Energy LLC.
  • Location: Any arbitration proceedings will take place in the State of Texas and will be administered by a recognized arbitration association (such as the American Arbitration Association) under its commercial rules.
  1. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
