Terms Of Use

Last Update: 2023-06-09

Welcome to SunValue! (“Website” “we” “our”). Here we provide you the opportunity through our prompting to tell us information related to where you would like a solar system and the size of solar system you are seeking in the marketplace. After you have answered the basic questions we present to you, we will then take your answers and provide them to third party service providers (collectively “Services”). The third party service providers will make further inquiries of you to determine the precise solar system and a third party provider with whom you may benefit. The determination of the actual type of system and items within the system and the costs of these items are determined by the company providing them. The third parties will contact you via email, SMS or telephone. You are not obligated to work with any of these third parties. We do not provide you information to the entire market of service providers nor do our services cover all of the types of solar systems and your search for the right solar system and installer may need to continue after our Services. These terms and conditions incorporate our Privacy Policy by reference, (collectively Agreement). If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, do not use or access our Website or use our Service. You must be 18 years of age to use our Website and Services.

This Agreement includes a provision in which you and we agree to resolve all claims between us through a binding arbitration. You also agree to a limitation of your right to participate in any Class Action case that may be brought in which we are a named party. It is important that you review these provisions and the entire agreement carefully.
