THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. BY USING OUR SITE, YOU ARE CONFIRMING YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN, YOU MUST LEAVE OUR SITE IMMEDIATELY.

This Terms of Service Agreement (“TOS”) is a legal agreement between you and Energy Loan Network, Inc. (“ELN”), and governs how you may use our website (“Site”) and the ELN Service defined in Section 1. When you utilize our Service, you are confirming your understanding of and agreement with these Terms and the license granted herein. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by ELN.

For all questions about how we use the information we obtain through your use of the Site and Service, please review our Privacy Notice. By using the Site and Service, you agree to also be bound to the Privacy Policy.

1. Service Description. We provide a solar and energy efficiency financing platform (the “Service”) that enables contractors to assist consumers to finance the purchase and installation of residential solar energy systems and other energy efficiency upgrades by connecting them with participating lenders (“Lenders”). The Service is provided to consumers free of charge. ELN is not a broker or Lender, but it may offer information and guidance to assist consumers to select the Lender that best meets their needs. All Lenders are independent third parties, each of which employ their own lending criteria, and not all consumers will qualify. ELN does not sell, resell, or license any of the services offered by Lenders or contractors, nor is ELN acting as an agent for Lenders. ELN DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR, OR LIABILITY RELATED TO, ANY SERVICE OFFERED BY PARTICIPATING LENDERS AND CONTRACTORS (see Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability, below). Any questions, complaints, or claims related to any Lender should be directed to the Lender. ELN only offers the information that Lenders provide regarding their programs, and is therefore not responsible for any inaccuracies in the information we offer. Information on this site s provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement by ELN of any participating Lender.

2. Applying for Financing. If you elect to apply for financing on our Site, you do so under the specific terms offered by a Lender, so you must also agree to and understand those terms.
