TOU Pilot Study Agreement for SCE Customers

Thank you for your interest in the Time of Use Pilot Study (“TOU Pilot Study”), a study offered by Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) using your Nest Thermostat.

With the goal of creating a product that can help SCE customers save money on time-of-use rate plans, SCE will work with Nest Labs, Inc. (“Nest”) as part of the TOU Pilot Study to understand how SCE customers use their Nest Thermostat to manage electricity use in response to their time-of-use pilot rate schedule. In addition, as part of the TOU Pilot Study, Nest will remotely manage your Nest Thermostat, including changes to the temperature setpoint without any manual intervention by you. At any time that you desire, you may override this temperature setpoint simply by turning your Nest Thermostat to a different temperature or using the Nest website or mobile application.

Your agreement to these terms (“Agreement”) gives Nest permission to receive your TOU Pilot Study rate schedule from SCE, and to use the rate schedule in support of the TOU Pilot Study, and for SCE to enroll you in the TOU Pilot Study, pursuant to the terms and conditions below. Any additional Nest Thermostats installed at your SCE service address will be automatically enrolled in the TOU Pilot Study.

Nest will administer TOU Pilot Study in accordance with the Nest Terms of Service, privacy policies and other policies on Nest’s website (http://www.nest.com/legal) and applicable laws and regulations.
