Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 6, 2023

Summary in plain English

EnergyBot is an online marketplace that allows businesses and consumers  to buy electricity. We list plans and prices from a wide variety of suppliers, allowing the customer to see and choose the plan that works best for them. We constantly strive to provide increased visibility and transparency for the electricity buying process.

Once a customer chooses a plan, we have automated the process of completing the agreement with the supplier and starting the switching process. Our automated process creates lower costs in an industry that is typically dominated by sales calls and paper processes. As a result, we are able to provide lower prices to customers.

The customer is billed directly by the supplier and we do not charge any fees directly to the customer. We are typically (but not always) compensated by the supplier as a sales and marketing commission. Because we replace the supplier’s internal costs of sales and marketing in a more automated way, this typically results in a lower overall cost to the customer.

Our terms and conditions below basically cover the normal legal issues faced when running a website. We do not share your information with third parties without your permission except for the supplier that you have chosen. 

We are registered with the Public Utility Commission in the states in which we operate pursuant to the requirements of each state. See the full list of states and license information here.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at (888) 743-1870.

Please read the full legal agreement below.

Supplier Agreement

The supplier that you have chosen has the final authority to complete the agreement. They may choose not to honor the pricing and/or terms shown due to credit review, electricity usage review or other reasons. If the supplier does not complete the agreement as presented, we will notify you and provide you with alternatives for your approval before proceeding.
