Southern California Edison Company (SCE), a California Investor-Owned Utility, hereby provides these Terms and Conditions as part of the Customer Agreement (“Agreement”) for the Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) Program (the “Program”). SCE may modify or discontinue the Program at any time at its sole discretion, without prior notice, or by order of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The Program is not part of the electric service customers receive from SCE and is funded by California utility customers, administered by SCE under the auspices of the CPUC, and is subject to the availability of funds. Licensed Contractors (“Contractor”) have been contracted by SCE to provide services related to the Program. The identity of the Contractor shall be provided to Customer in advance of the work commencing, including the Contractor’s license information.

    1. I certify that I meet the eligibility requirements and that the information regarding household members and income provided in this Agreement are true and correct. Upon request, I agree to provide proof of total gross household income.
    2. I authorize both SCE and Contractor to examine my income documentation, utility account, and other information pertinent to this Agreement.
    3. I certify that this Agreement contains the entire agreement between SCE, Customer, and Contractor; and any other agreement, statement, or promise made by any party that is not contained in this Agreement shall not be binding or valid.
    4. d) I hereby waive any claim to, and agree not to apply for or receive, any State or Federal tax credits, utility cash rebates, or any other utility incentives (“Incentives”) with respect to any measures, improvements, and services (“Measures”) installed on the property listed on this Agreement (“Property”) pursuant to the Program.
    5. Notwithstanding that the Measures identified during my enrollment appointment and identified in the Agreement are the exclusive home improvement goods or services provided to me as part of the Program, I understand that minor Measure additions or subtractions may occur at point of installation because of previously unrecognized housing conditions.
  3. As the Customer, I understand that if I qualify and am approved for participation,
    1. I grant permission to SCE and Contractor to access the property to provide all feasible Measures included in the Program including outlet grounding (the “Work”) as determined necessary by SCE and Contractor pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Program. I hereby expressly waive any rights that I may have to the return of any components, parts, or appliances repaired or removed from my home, including those provided by Business & Professions Code § 9843 or any similar statute.
    2. understand the Contractor must install all Measures in accordance with all local, state, and federal building codes and agree to grant permission to SCE, their authorized Contractor(s), city, county, state or municipal building inspectors and any other Program representatives, as applicable, reasonable access to my home and property to perform any applicable inspection(s). I understand that failure to comply with the inspection process may create a safety concern as well as may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
      1. If during inspection, any work related to the installed measures requires adjustment, repair, or replacement due to permit requirements, an authorized, licensed Contractor will perform such work at no charge.
      2. I understand that upon acceptance of the replacement Measure(s), the old equipment or product(s) being replaced will be dismantled and recycled in accordance with all applicable laws.

      5. I understand that I am responsible to read the owner’s manual and to complete and mail-in the warranty card included for each applicable measure that I may receive from the program.
      6. Once the Measure(s) have been installed by the Contractor(s), I understand that the Measure(s) identified on the Installation Report have been installed at the specified installation address by an authorized, licensed contractor and that the installation occurred in the stated location.
      7. Once the Measure(s) have been installed by the Contractor(s), the removal, replacement, modification, or failure to properly maintain the installed Measure(s) according to manufacturer guidelines may void all applicable warranties.
