As a Solar Installer, in exchange for the payment of Fees for your Subscription (as outlined further in this section) and subject to your compliance with these TOU, Powerlily.io grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicensable limited license to remotely access and use, solely for your internal business purposes, the Powerlily Services (as applicable) through the relevant Website as permitted for the Subscription purchased by you, solely as an end User, and on behalf of any Authorized Users. This granted license is limited by the Intellectual Property Provisions found further in these TOU.
Any free trial or other promotion that provides a User access to the Services must be used within the specified time of the trial, or subject to any other limitations as described during the sign-up process. At the end of the trial period, your use of those Services will expire and any further use of the Services are prohibited unless you pay the applicable Subscription Fee as described in the next sub-section.

There are several Subscription plans with a range of Services for purchase, as further described in the registration page for Powerlily, for the amounts listed on those pages (the “Fees“, which shall also refer to payments made for other optional products or activities displayed through the Services). If you have purchased a Services Subscription we will provide the Services under the Service Subscription that you have selected upon activation of the Subscription, for the duration of the Subscription specified at the time of Subscription activation. Selecting the Subscription for a period of time (which may be monthly, or other time lengths, hereinafter a “Term“) will charge you a Subscription Fee every Term which will renew itself automatically. Subscriptions will renew at the end of the Term automatically, prepaying for the same length of the previous Term.
You may prevent the automatic renewal of your Subscription by canceling your account no less than 5 days prior to the end of the Term. To cancel your Subscription, you must call 1-888-997-1101 and explain the reason for cancellation. Cancellation requests are only processed once you have received written confirmation via email.

Cancellations will be processed within 5 business days of request. Your account and these TOU are not considered terminated/cancelled until you receive a reply with a written confirmation via email, or a verbal confirmation on the phone. Cancellation requests sent through agents via Live Chat, in person, or through other email addresses will not be processed. Powerlily.io reserves the right to terminate any and all written agreements, including these TOU at any time, as more fully described herein-below.
