Terms of Service
1. Background; Agreement to Sell and Purchase Energy. The Contract Summary, Terms of Service, and Rewards Terms and Conditions, together with the notice containing a welcome letter, a copy of your Contract Summary, Terms of Service, and Rewards Terms and Conditions (the “Welcome Confirmation”), and any amendments to these documents from time to time, are an agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) for electric generation service between Inspire Energy Holdings, LLC (“Inspire” and “we”) and you (“Customer” or “you”).
Inspire is a retail electricity supplier licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) to offer and supply electric generation services in Massachusetts. Inspire’s DPU license number is CS-117. Inspire is not affiliated with and does not represent your Local Distribution Utility (“Utility” or “LDU”). Generation prices and charges are set by Inspire. The LDU will continue to deliver the electricity supplied by Inspire. The DPU regulates distribution prices and services. The Federal Energy Regulation Commission regulates transmission prices and services.
By entering into this Agreement, you represent that you are the customer of record for the electricity supply account subject to this Agreement, or you otherwise have authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement shall not become effective until accepted by Inspire.
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE, A JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT WILL AFFECT CUSTOMER’S LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY.
2. Rescission. Your right of rescission is described in the Contract Summary of this Agreement.
3. Term; Renewal. The term of this Agreement as shown in the Contract Summary shall commence on the date the change to Inspire is deemed effective by the LDU and shall continue for the term shown. At least thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the term, Inspire will notify Customer in writing of the terms of renewal of this Agreement and of the Customer’s right to renew or reject the renewal. Customer shall have three (3) business days from receipt of the first billing statement of the renewal term to reject renewal and cancel the renewal agreement. This Agreement may renew without your affirmative consent, even when there is a price change or a change in terms of service.
4. Pricing, Billing, and Payment. The price for all electricity sold under this Agreement shall be as set forth in the Contract Summary of this Agreement. Your supply price per kWh will not change during the term shown. The price does not include LDU charges, including, but not limited to, LDU delivery and distribution charges, which are separate amounts that you must pay your LDU. The price may be higher than your LDU’s basic service generation supply price. Inspire does not guarantee that we will provide any savings for electricity supply as compared to what the LDU would charge.
Your electricity supply price under this Agreement was determined based on a variety of factors including your average electricity usage, key characteristics of your home, and the cost to procure energy and the renewable attributes described in section 5.
You will be billed and pay for the electric generation services from Inspire based on meter readings and consumption information that Inspire receives from your LDU. The services you purchase from Inspire will be included in your LDU bill. The LDU will set your payment due date and the payment address, and any bill not paid in full by its due date may incur a late payment fee in accordance with the LDU’s billing and payment policies and procedures.
Inspire does not require customers to make a deposit. A discount on your LDU’s distribution charges may be available to qualifying residential customers. Contact your LDU for eligibility requirements and an application. These distribution charges and any eligibility for a discount do not form part of this Agreement and is a matter between you and your LDU. You can also contact your LDU for information on consumer rights pertaining to estimated bills, third-party billing, and deferred payments.
Pricing under this Agreement is based on the information provided at the time of enrollment for your account. If the information that Inspire receives from your LDU does not match the information provided at enrollment, you agree that Inspire may switch the product offering to match information received from the LDU. If that were to occur, your enrollment with Inspire will be delayed and you will receive written notice of the new product offering from Inspire and will have the ability to exercise your right of rescission as described on the first page of this Agreement.
5. Renewable Energy Product. During the term of this Agreement, Inspire will ensure that 100% of your electricity usage is matched with renewable energy credits (“RECs”). Each REC represents proof that electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource such as wind, solar, hydro, or biomass. Inspire will purchase RECs in the same calendar year as your electricity usage in order to support the development and operation of renewable energy generation. Inspire will “retire” them in a regional generation attribute system. The electricity supply actually delivered to your home or service address will not contain electricity supply generated from any particular electric generation facility. Inspire may take up to 3 months after the end of each calendar year under which this Agreement is in effect to address any deficiency that may arise in the renewable energy content of electricity sold under this Agreement in the previous calendar year.
6. Cancellation Provisions. If your LDU terminates your service, this Agreement will be automatically cancelled. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying Inspire at the contact information listed in the Contract Summary. You must provide Inspire at least thirty (30) days advance notice before the next regularly scheduled meter read in order for the cancellation to be effective as of that reading. To cancel this Agreement, please contact Inspire by phone, email, or mail at the contact information below. There is no cancellation fee if you cancel your contract prior to the end of its term.
Inspire may cancel this Agreement if at some future date there is a Regulatory Change (as defined below) that materially impairs Inspire’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, Inspire will follow applicable rules in providing notice to you if we intend to cancel this Agreement. In addition, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement at any time at our convenience with advance written notice to you of at least 30 days. Upon termination of the Agreement by you or us, you will be responsible for all Inspire generation charges incurred hereunder until your account is transferred to LDU basic service or to another competitive electricity supplier.
Cancellation is effective on the next meter read date that occurs after your LDU has accepted the switch of your account from Inspire. You will be responsible for unpaid balances as of the cancellation date, until your account is paid in full.

You are responsible for canceling any agreements with other electric suppliers from whom you are purchasing electric generation service and paying any cancellation fees (if applicable). You also have the option of receiving Basic Service generation from your LDU.

Each party will indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims (including claims for personal injury, death, or property damage), losses, fees, taxes, damages, suits, causes of actions and judgments of any kind arising hereunder while title and risk of loss are vested in the indemnifying party. You will be responsible for the payment of all transfer, sales or other taxes related to Inspire's service under this Agreement.

Promotion and Rewards Terms and Conditions
This agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions ("Promotion Terms") that apply to your participation in any promotion or reward offered by Inspire Energy Holdings, LLC ("Inspire"), including any introductory offers, offers that you access through a promotional code, or any other rebate, bonus, or incentive offered by Inspire (each a "Promotion").
These Promotion Terms are subject to your agreement with Inspire for electricity supply service (including but not limited to, where applicable, any contract summary) (collectively, "Electricity Sales Agreement"), as may be amended from time to time. The Electricity Sales Agreement constitutes a part of these Promotion Terms and is expressly incorporated herein.
Inspire reserves the right to both modify these Promotion Terms from time to time and/or to terminate any Promotion at any time and without prior notice unless notice is required under law.
Terms of specific individual Promotions applicable to you can be found in Section 6.
PLEASE NOTE:THE TERMS BELOW ARE VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY OUTLINE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU.
THE ELECTRICITY SALES AGREEMENT INCORPORATED HEREIN CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE PROMOTION TERMS.
1. Eligibility. These Promotion Terms do not apply to New York members. When Inspire offers a Promotion, it may set eligibility requirements for participation in the Promotion. Inspire reserves the right to determine whether a particular customer satisfies those requirements. Promotions are not available for all rate classes, all customer types, or in all areas. Promotions are not available in areas where Inspire does not offer its services. You may not be eligible for certain Promotions, including Promotions relating to initial enrollment with Inspire (e.g., a "Sign Up Bonus"), if you have previously been enrolled with Inspire. Promotions are limited to one per customer and electricity supply account. You may become ineligible for a promotion if your local utility company rejects or terminates your Inspire enrollment or service. Additional eligibility limitations related to specific Promotions are set forth in Section 6.
2. Limitations. Promotions are limited time offers. Promotions may not be applied as a credit or offset to reduce the amount owed by you to Inspire or your local utility company. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, Promotions have no value of any kind until they are redeemed and received by you, and you have no property rights or other legal interest in any Promotion until you redeem and receive a benefit under the Promotion and that property interest or other legal interest continues to be subject to any limitation or requirement of the specific individual Promotion terms and these Promotion Terms. To the extent a Promotion benefit is not a cash award, and unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Promotion benefit shall have no cash value. Promotions are non-negotiable. You may not transfer, pledge, sell, barter, or assign Promotions to any other party, and any attempt to do so shall be void and of no legal effect. A Promotion cannot be combined with other Promotions, discounts, reward programs, or other offers, unless specifically authorized by Inspire.
Promotion-specific terms and limitations apply (see Section 6). Inspire reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether a particular customer has met all requirements to redeem under a specific individual Promotion. The manner and means by which a Promotion or Promotion benefit may be redeemed by, conveyed to, or reimbursed to a customer is at the sole discretion of Inspire and may be by any means Inspire deems appropriate, including requiring specified affirmative actions by the customer.
Promotions are void where prohibited by law. In the event that all or part of any Promotion is found to be in violation of applicable law, Inspire shall have no obligation to provide or fulfill the terms of such Promotion.
Inspire may change or cancel any Promotion at any time. Inspire may set an expiration period for Promotion redemption or a redeemed Promotion. Inspire may revoke your participation in any Promotion at any time, and any Promotion or Promotion benefit associated with you may be forfeited at Inspire’s discretion unless already redeemed and received by you subject to any limitation or requirement of the specific individual Promotion terms and these Promotion Terms. Inspire may temporarily or permanently disqualify you from participating in any Promotion and/or adjust or cause to be forfeited any benefits under any Promotion as a result of your abusive behavior, "gaming" conduct, fraud, misrepresentation, violation of any law, bankruptcy or insolvency (subject to applicable law and regulation), or violation of any of the terms or conditions of the Promotion, these Promotion Terms, the Electricity Sales Agreement, or any other agreement with Inspire or your local utility company, in each case as determined by Inspire in its sole discretion. If you, Inspire, or your local utility company cancel your electricity service, close your Inspire account, or revoke your access to any services provided under the Electricity Sales Agreement for any reason, your claim to any Promotion or Promotion benefit not already redeemed by and received by you is forfeited.
3. Customer Information. Inspire may need to provide your information to a third-party vendor or service provider in order to fulfill some or all of a Promotion. You may opt out of Inspire providing information to these third parties by calling Inspire at 866-403-2620. Should you opt out, Inspire does not guarantee another means of accessing or redeeming a Promotion. Please see Inspire’s Privacy Policy for additional information, available at www.inspirecleanenergy.compolicies/privacy-policy.
4. Indemnification; Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability. You agree to indemnify and hold Inspire and its third-party vendors and service providers and their respective affiliates, successors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your: (i) participation in a Promotion; (ii) fraud or misuse of a Promotion; (iii) violation of these Promotion Terms; and/or (iv) violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
Inspire shall not be responsible for resolving any conflicting claims to any Promotion or Promotion benefit. Inspire is not responsible for any lost or stolen Promotion or Promotion benefit. Inspire shall have no liability in connection with or relating to any disagreements between you and your local utility company.
Inspire reserves the right (but is not required) to correct inaccurate Promotion benefit awards. If Inspire does not credit, or improperly denies, your eligibility for a Promotion to which you were otherwise eligible, then your exclusive remedy will be the issuance of the improperly denied Promotion benefit, if available, or such other alternative benefit as Inspire, in its sole discretion, may determine. Neither Inspire nor any of its affiliates, agents, or representatives have any other or additional liability to you or any other person for such error(s), subject to applicable law. The parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Electricity Sales Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Promotion Terms and subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, in no event will Inspire or any of its respective affiliates, successors, directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors be responsible or liable to you, or anyone claiming through you or on your behalf, for claims, damages, or liability arising out of participation in a Promotion or related to a Promotion, other than such claims, damages, or liability directly caused specifically by Inspire’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event will Inspire be liable for any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including without limitation lost revenue, lost profits, or lost opportunity, arising out of or relating to any act or omission of Inspire, its service providers, or any of their respective affiliates or agents, or otherwise in connection with or relating to a Promotion or its administration or that result from the use of or inability to use a Promotion or Promotion benefit, whether arising under contract, warranty, tort (including negligence or strict liability), or any other theory of liability, even if Inspire has been made aware of the possibility of such damages.
In addition, Inspire makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, and expressly disclaims any and all liability and damages with respect to type, quality, or fitness for use of goods or services provided through or in connection with a Promotion or the terms herein or otherwise obtained by you in connection with a Promotion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Inspire’s maximum aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Promotion Terms or to a Promotion shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amount paid by you to Inspire over the prior twelve months in connection with the Promotion, and (ii) $10.
5. Miscellaneous. You are solely responsible for reporting Promotion benefits on your tax returns, if applicable, and paying any tax liability relating to any Promotion is solely your responsibility. When laws require Inspire to do so, Inspire will also report Promotions as income to the Internal Revenue Service, as well as to state and local tax authorities.
Inspire may end any Promotion at any time for any reason or no reason, without notice to you unless notice is required under applicable law. Inspire may also in its sole discretion cancel, change, amend, modify, or restrict any Promotion or any aspect, term, or feature of any Promotion or these Promotion Terms at any time without prior notice and for any reason or no reason (subject to any notice requirements under applicable law). You consent to all such changes and agree that they will apply to you and the Promotions.
These Promotion Terms and the documents that they incorporate constitute the entire agreement between you and Inspire with respect to the subject matter of these Promotion Terms and supersede all prior agreements or representations, written or oral, concerning such subject matter; provided, however, nothing herein modifies the terms and conditions of the Electricity Sales Agreement.
The failure by Inspire to enforce any provision of these Promotion Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Promotion Terms, in whole or in part, without Inspire’s prior written consent. Inspire may assign its rights and/or obligations under these Promotion Terms, in whole or in part, without your consent.

Environmental Disclosure for the Electricity Products of Inspire Energy Holdings, LLC
Information Disclosure Label
Electric suppliers and distribution companies are required to provide customers with a disclosure label. The label enables consumers to look at the energy sources, air emissions, and information about the supplier’s company in order to make a more informed choice of a power supplier.
Labor Info
24% of the electricity assigned to the NEPOOL GIS Quarterly system mix came from power sources using union labor, while 76% came from power sources not using union labor. The label information percentage was calculated by dividing (1) the number of certificates identified as union labor on the NEPOOL-GIS report by (2) the sum of net energy load from the ISO-NE report. These values are for electricity generated and assigned to the NEPOOL GIS System Mix during the period 01/01/2022 - 12/31/2022.
Notes
Electricity customers in New England are served by an integrated power grid, not particular generating units. The above information is on generating units assigned to this electricity product.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Generation Price and Contract:
Generation Prices displayed are representative average prices for electricity at usage levels that are typical for residential customers. Contract items displayed present the length of your contract for generation service, and the price terms included in your contract. See your recent bills to determine average monthly use, and your Terms of Service for additional information.
Power Sources:
The electricity you consume comes from the New England power grid, which receives power from a variety of power plants and transmits the power throughout the region as needed to meet the requirements of all customers in New England. When you choose a power supplier, that supplier is responsible for generating and/or purchasing power that is added to the power grid in an amount equivalent to your electricity use. Known Resources include resources that are owned by, or under contract to, the supplier. System Power represents power purchased in the regional electricity market. Biomass refers to power plants that are fueled by wood or other plant matter. Hydro resources of greater than 30 megawatts in size are deemed “large hydro.” All other hydro resources are deemed “small hydro.” Other Renewables include fuel cells utilizing renewable fuel sources, landfill gas, and ocean thermal.
Emissions:
Emissions for each the following pollutants are presented relative to the regional average emission rate.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is released when fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil and natural gas) are burned. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is a major contributor to global warming.
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) form when fossil fuels and biomass are burned at high temperatures. They contribute to acid rain and ground level ozone (or smog) and may cause respiratory illness in children with frequent high-level exposure. NOX also contribute to oxygen deprivation of lakes and coastal waters which is destructive to fish and other animal life.
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is formed when fuels containing sulfur are burned, primarily coal and oil. Major health effects associated with SO2 include asthma, respiratory illness and aggravation of existing cardiovascular disease. SO2 combines with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to form acid rain, which raises the acid level of lakes and streams, and accelerates the decay of buildings and monuments.
Labor Data:
The information on this label regarding whether generators or suppliers operate under collective bargaining agreements is provided to inform you about whether the energy was produced in plants where employee wages and working conditions are mutually determined by employees and management and protected by union contracts. The information on this label regarding the use of replacement employees during a labor dispute is provided to inform you of whether or not a generator or supplier during a strike by or lock-out of its employees has replaced them with other workers.
