Energy Maisons LLC (“Energy Maisons,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent commercial energy advisory service incorporated and operating in the State of California, United States.
We are not a utility company, energy broker, licensed electrical contractor, financial institution, or legal services provider. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by, or acting as an agent of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Glendale Water & Power, Burbank Water and Power, Pasadena Water and Power, or any other California investor-owned utility, municipal utility, or community choice aggregator.
Utility names and service territory references are used solely for the purpose of identifying the utility providers whose tariff schedules we are experienced in analysing. Such use constitutes nominative fair use and does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by those utilities.
Energy Maisons provides general commercial energy advisory services, including informal analysis of electricity billing data, identification of potential inefficiencies in rate schedule selection, and high-level guidance on demand management and distributed energy resources. All services are advisory in nature only.

Opting out will not affect any ongoing contractual or advisory relationship you have elected to enter into with us under a separate written agreement.
Submitting your bill through the Energy Maisons platform does not create any binding contract, agreement, or obligation between you and Energy Maisons, except for the obligations expressly stated in these Terms.

Utility company names (including PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, LADWP, SMUD, and others referenced on this platform) are trademarks of their respective owners.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Energy Maisons LLC, its officers, members, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for any damages arising out of or related to your use of our platform or services.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain categories of damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Energy Maisons LLC and its officers, members, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:
Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, you agree to contact Energy Maisons at legal@masons.energy to describe the nature of your dispute and provide a reasonable opportunity (not less than 30 days) for us to resolve it informally.
Binding Arbitration. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you and Energy Maisons agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND ENERGY MAISONS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this provision is found to be unenforceable, the arbitration agreement shall be null and void in its entirety.
Small Claims Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in San Francisco County, California, if the claim qualifies for small claims jurisdiction and is brought on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
Arbitration Costs. For claims where the amount in controversy does not exceed $10,000, we will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. For claims exceeding $10,000, AAA fee allocation rules shall apply.
Energy Maisons reserves the right to modify these Terms & Conditions at any time. Changes will become effective immediately upon posting the revised Terms to this page. The “Last Revised” date at the top of this document will be updated to reflect the date of the most recent revision.
For material changes — those that materially affect your rights or obligations under these Terms — we will endeavour to notify existing contacts by email to the address on file at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the platform or services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. We recommend bookmarking this page.
These Terms & Conditions and any dispute arising out of or related to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
To the extent that any claim is not subject to binding arbitration under Section 11, you and Energy Maisons each irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California for the resolution of such claims.
If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms otherwise remain in full force and effect.
The parties further agree that in such event they will negotiate in good faith to replace the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the original commercial intent of the replaced provision.
The invalidity of any one provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision herein.
