PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Welcome to theimageEntergy Mississippi Smart Thermostat Program (“Program”). The Entergy Mississippi Smart Thermostat Program seeks to engage Entergy Mississippi residential customers with qualifying

thermostats. Participants may reduce stress on the grid in their electricity service area, and may be eligible to receive an incentive, subject to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). These terms constitute the entire agreement between the Sponsor Parties and Participants relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other such prior or contemporaneous oral and written agreement and understanding. The Sponsor or a Sponsor Party’s failure to enforce any term of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. These Terms will be binding on the Sponsor Parties and its successors and assigns, and Participants.

Program Description. Participants will authorize Entergy Mississippi to adjust their Devices on days when electricity demand is high, helping to reduce demand when it counts most, as further described below in “Adjustment Events”.

Program Application: If Participant is eligible to participate in the Program and agrees in writing to participate (including via electronic signature), Participant shall comply with the Terms as they are outlined, below, even if a Participant’s application is not accepted or approved by the Sponsor Parties. Participant’s failure to comply with these Terms may result in a Participant’s disqualification from the program, which is in the sole discretion of Sponsor or Sponsor Parties and is final and binding in all respects. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any Participant for, among other things: (1) tampering or attempting to tamper with the operation of the Program, or

(2) violating these Terms or the terms of use of any Sponsor Parties’ property or services. Any false information provided within the context of the application to the Program by a Participant is a violation of these Terms and may result in the immediate disqualification from the Program and up to the forfeiture of the program incentive. A Participants application must be accepted by the Sponsor and Entergy Mississippi, and such application must not be withdrawn or terminated, and a Sponsor Party reserves the right to deny acceptance to the Program or incentives if a Participant’s application and all required information are not complete or accurate. Such acceptance of a Participant’s application is at the sole discretion of Sponsor and Entergy Mississippi.


Acceptance of Agreement. The use of an electronic signature process to accept and sign these Terms, including Participant’s indication of acceptance of these Terms by a click-through or click-wrap process presented on the enrollment website, shall constitute effective execution and delivery of these Terms, and shall form a binding agreement between Participant and the Sponsor.


Definitions. In the context of these Terms,



Program Period. The Program is effective as of January 1, 2021 and will be renewed at the discretion of Entergy Mississippi (the Program Period). Participants in the Program may be automatically re-enrolled in subsequent Program Periods at Sponsor’s discretion, subject to the then-current Terms for the Program.


How To Apply. You can apply to participate in the Program through your Vendor mobile app or at the program enrollment website specified below. Sponsor and Entergy Mississippi may accept or reject your application in their sole discretion.


Adjustment Events. Participants agree to allow Sponsor Parties to adjust Devices, with such adjustments referred to as “Adjustment Events”. Adjustment Events may change a Participant’s device mode, setpoint, or other settings, as applicable. For Devices that allow for temperature control, Adjustment Events may include or be preceded by pre- cool or pre-heat periods, wherein the then-current or scheduled target temperature setpoint is temporarily changed to prepare for the subsequent Adjustment Event. For certain types of services offered by the Sponsor Parties, an Adjustment Event may occur even if the Device is in any kind of hold mode at the start of the Adjustment Event.

Participant may opt out of an Adjustment Event at any time directly by adjusting his/her device. Adjustment events typically occur no more than fifteen (15) times per program year; typically occur between noon and 7:00 p.m. Central Time (i.e., peak demand periods) but may occur outside the typical event window in the event of a grid emergency; may last up to a maximum of four (4) hours (not including pre-cooling); may include a pre-cooling period that would begin approximately 30-90 minutes before the adjustment event. Accepted Participants may override adjustment events, recognizing that overriding adjustment events may reduce their Annual Participation bill credit.


Authorization, Program Changes, Suspension or Cancellation. The Sponsor Parties’ ability to offer the Program is contingent on receiving certain approvals and acceptances from Entergy Mississippi. Entergy Mississippi may change the Program requirements, incentives or terms and conditions, including suspending acceptance of applications or terminating the Program, at any time without notice.

After 12 months, a Participant may withdraw from the Program by emailing the Sponsor Parties contact address specified below. Withdrawal will not affect other services provided to a Participant by the Sponsor Parties.

If the Participant decides to terminate their participation in the Program after 12 months, they will no longer be eligible to earn an Annual Participation Bill Credit. After terminating their participation, the customer will be allowed to re- enroll in the Program or apply for participation in other Entergy Mississippi-sponsored demand response programs.

Changes to the Terms. The Sponsor Parties may modify these Terms at any time. The Sponsor Parties will notify accepted Participants by email at the most current email address Sponsor has on record when any material changes to these Terms are made. Continued participation in the Program thereafter signifies acceptance to such modified Terms.
