Agreeing to these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and WattaWatt (“we”, “us”) about using the WattaWatt website. By using it, you agree to them and to our privacy policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use WattaWatt.
What WattaWatt does, and doesn’t do
WattaWatt estimates what electricity plans would cost a Texas home that chooses its own retail provider, using that home’s 12 months of usage, and ranks the plans by that estimated cost. There are no accounts.
We aren’t an electricity provider or a utility, and we don’t sell electricity. We don’t sign you up for plans. When you choose one, we link you to the provider’s website, and you enroll with the provider on its terms. Your contract is with the provider.
Nothing on WattaWatt is legal, financial or other professional advice. Our guides explain how Texas electricity plans and rules generally work. Check what applies to you with your provider or the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Our prices are estimates
- Every price on WattaWatt is an estimate. We calculate it from each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) as we’ve recorded it, the delivery utility’s published charges for your ZIP code, and the usage you confirm.
- Your real bills will be different. Our estimates leave out sales tax and charges that aren’t on the EFL, and they can’t predict changes in your usage, the weather, or a provider’s or the delivery utility’s prices. Plans marked Unverified haven’t been checked against their EFL yet.
- Plans and prices change. A plan we show may no longer be offered, or may cost more when you sign up. Before you enroll, read the plan’s EFL, Terms of Service and Your Rights as a Customer documents. If anything on WattaWatt differs from them, the provider’s documents are what count.
- Reading a bill can go wrong. An AI service reads the usage from the file you upload, and it can misread. It’s up to you to check the numbers on the confirm page before you price plans.
- We don’t promise that the plan we rank first is the cheapest for you, or that we show every plan you can buy.
What you upload and enter
- Upload only bills and usage screenshots you’re allowed to share: your own, or with the account holder’s permission.
- Don’t upload anything that isn’t a bill or usage screenshot, or anything harmful or illegal.
- You keep any rights you have in what you upload. You let us use it to run WattaWatt for you, as our privacy policy describes.
- Anyone with your results link can see your results, so share it with care.
- Contract reminders are a courtesy. We don’t guarantee they’ll arrive on time, or at all, so keep track of your contract end date yourself.
How we make money
WattaWatt is free to use, and no electricity provider pays us. If that changes, we will update these terms first. Any fee will never change the ranking, which is based only on estimated cost, and plans from providers that pay us will be labeled.
Our full disclosures, including who operates WattaWatt, how we’re paid and how to complain, are on the Disclosures page.
Fair use
Please don’t:
- use WattaWatt to break the law or anyone’s rights;
- copy plan data or pages in bulk, or scrape the site with automated tools (search engines indexing our public pages are welcome);
- send automated uploads, or try to get around the upload limit;
- try to break, overload or get unauthorized access to WattaWatt or the systems it runs on;
- pretend to be someone else, or to speak for WattaWatt.
We may limit or block access for anyone who does.
Our content
The WattaWatt name and logo, and the site’s design, text, guides and graphics, belong to us or to those who license them to us. You’re welcome to use WattaWatt for yourself and to share links to it. Don’t copy, sell or republish our content without permission.
Provider names, logos and plan names belong to their owners. We show them only to identify each provider’s plans. That doesn’t mean the provider endorses WattaWatt, or that we endorse the provider.
Other websites
WattaWatt links to other websites, such as providers’ sign-up pages, Electricity Facts Labels and Power to Choose. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for what they say or do.
No warranties
WattaWatt is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that WattaWatt will be accurate, complete, available without interruption, free of errors, or fit for a particular purpose.
Limits on our liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost savings or profits, that come from using WattaWatt. That includes any difference between our estimates and what you’re charged, and the plan you choose. Our total liability for any claim about WattaWatt is limited to $100. Some laws don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
Your responsibility
If you misuse WattaWatt or break these terms, and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, to the extent the law allows.
Changes
We may change WattaWatt, or stop offering it, at any time. We may also update these terms: we’ll post the new version here and change the date at the top. If you keep using WattaWatt after that, the new terms apply.
Law and disputes
Texas law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about these terms or WattaWatt will be decided by the state or federal courts in Texas, and you and we agree to those courts’ jurisdiction.
The rest
If part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a term right away, we haven’t given it up. These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about WattaWatt.
