1. Introduction
Our Services give users access to equiwatt’s smart energy platform and the company’s energy rewards program. The smart energy platform has been developed to launch a form of demand-side response (DSR) for the smart grid that reduces peak-time demand by modifying electrical load characteristics on the UK’s energy network at certain times of day by engaging with residential energy consumers. Users are rewarded points via their smart meter for either reducing peak-time energy or shifting energy to off-peak hours by turning appliances and devices on or off manually at the plug socket or automatically by leveraging the functionality of internet-enabled devices such as smart plugs, electric vehicles and smart appliances.
The key elements of our Services are:
To use app based notifications and email messaging to engage with the user and advise them to shift their energy usage during equiwatt’s energy events - equivents
To guide the user on how to participate in equivents manually via their compatible smart meter.
To guide the user on how to automate their participation in equivents by providing instructions on how to pair their appliance or devices to equiwatt using compatible smart devices and or other integrations.
To use third-party energy monitoring tools such as smart plugs and power/current sensing functionality for the purpose of sensing, monitoring and logging connected appliance or device energy data to enhance user experience, enhance DSR service performance and detect user participation in equivents.
To provide access to installing and using equiwatt’s Powercapsule hub for the purpose of sensing, monitoring and logging household electricity data to enhance user experience, enhance DSR service performance, detect user participation in equivents and award reward points for energy shifting activities.
To provide access to a gift store where points earned through equiwatt’s energy rewards program can be redeemed for a selection of third-party gift vouchers or third-party product discounts.
2. Definitions
Smart Meters - An electricity meter that measures and records the amount of electricity consumed in the home and communicates this data wirelessly to utility companies and 3rd parties for billing and monitoring purposes. equiwatt connects with a user’s smart meter in order to verify energy reduction and award rewards points for participating in ‘equivents’.
Smart Devices - We refer to ‘Smart Devices’ as smart technology that is or can be connected to our platform including, but not limited to smart plugs, electric vehicles, appliances, smart appliances, smart thermostats, heaters, etc.
equivents - Energy events, during which equiwatt will notify users to temporarily shift their electricity usage by switching appliances and devices off or on. We will also remotely and temporarily switch off or on users' connected smart enabled appliances and other devices. equivents typically last for 1 hour, however, participants can manage their time of participation preferences through the app. equivents come in three different variations - powerDOWN, instant powerDOWN and powerUP events.
Powercapsule - A smart energy hub manufactured by equiwatt for the purpose of sensing, monitoring and logging household electricity consumption via a third-party current sensor connected non-intrusively to an electricity meter
Smart Plug - A smart plug connects household appliances to your smart home network. They plug into traditional electrical sockets and allow you to remotely manage appliances online and via accompanying apps.
Demand Side Response (DSR) - The method by which the amount of energy and/or time of use by consumers (the demand side) is altered in response to an event when the grid is under stress or electricity supply is abundant.

4. Description of Services
Our Services are designed to coordinate energy shifting activities at specific times to either reduce peak-time energy consumption or shifting consumption to off-peak hours, and to provide flexibility to the electricity system. The aggregated reductions may be sold in the energy market. For these purposes, equiwatt will monitor the energy consumption of your connected technology smart meter and smart devices through a smart plug, Powercapsule, electric vehicle and/or smart charger. In the event that data needs to be sent to a third party including but not limited to research technology organisations or the regulator, equiwatt will share this data in accordance with our Privacy Policy for the purpose of delivering, improving, enhancing and validating our Services.
To enable timely energy shifting, our Services contain a feature to remotely manage your connected technology (‘Smart Devices’) from your account.
By using the App and our Service you agree that we are entitled to connect to your Smart Meter and use the data from your Smart Meter to provide the Service and for our own business purposes.
By accepting the Terms & Conditions you are authorising equiwatt to remotely manage your home appliances and other assets, such as electric vehicles, chargers, smart thermostats etc. on your behalf. You may at any time choose to override any actions taken by our Services.
In order to deliver our Services to you, Smart Meters and 'Smart Devices' may be managed through services operated by third parties
For our service delivered through smart meters, n3rgy data service ( https://data.n3rgy.com) is used by equiwatt Limited to interface with the national smart meter systems in order to collect, store, manage and share with equiwatt Limited your Smart Meter data. This service uses the Smart Energy Code (https://smartenergycodecompany.co.uk) Party credentials and Party ID of N3RGY DATA LIMITED, incorporated and registered in England and Wales with the company number 11712674.
For our service delivered through smart plugs, equiwatt uses the manufacturers of TP-Link’s KASA application, where you have opened an account and provided log-in credentials of the ‘Smart Devices’ to equiwatt.
For our service delivered through electric vehicles, equiwatt uses a secure API (application programming interface) service. You will be asked if you wish to connect your vehicle and be redirected to a secure login portal to enter your login credentials, the ones used for the vehicle's manufacturer app. We will find the EV and ask you to allow equiwatt access to your vehicle.
By providing the ‘Smart Devices’ credentials you agree and understand:
You have the authority and rights to provide your credentials to equiwatt.
You authorise equiwatt to remotely manage, namely temporarily switch off and back on your device(s) or pause electric vehicle charging, based on your settings during equivents.
equiwatt may not be able to turn your device back on at the end of an equivent due to Internet-connectivity related or other service issues.
We will monitor all ‘Smart Devices’ to ensure they are switched back on or off after taking part in an equivent so they are returned to their pre-event state. equiwatt will take all measures necessary to try to turn them back on. In the case, we cannot turn an appliance or device back on after 3 consecutive attempts, we will contact you via email.
In the specific case of equiwatt providing any trial equipment for free, whether this is a smart plug, a Powercapsule or both, if once you have received the equipment and you do not install and take part in the trial within 15 days, you will be asked to return the equipment to equiwatt. You will also return all equipment to equiwatt if you install the equipment but do not take part in the trial for more than 30 days from receiving the equipment. If you choose to stop using our Services and equipment in the initial 6 months after the 30 days stated above, you are obliged to return the equipment to equiwatt.
Our app features and functions will be subject to updates as our Services evolve. You acknowledge that equiwatt may update, modify, or discontinue partly or totally any features and/or functions within our Services at any time at our discretion.
5. Service Limitations

7. Data Protection
All personal Data is collected, stored and deleted strictly in line with GDPR regulations as stated under the equiwatt Privacy Policy (https://www.equiwatt.com/privacy). The Personal Data you provide to us when you register for our Services will be used to administer your participation for the purposes described in these terms and conditions.
equiwatt will use your Personal Data:

In such cases, your data will be anonymised and shared securely with the third party with no way of any third party being able to personally identify you, your device or your household from the data.
8. Points & Rewards
Each user is entitled to rewards based on their level of participation in our Services. Points will be allocated on a constantly changing scale dependent on the level of the Smart Meter usage and market conditions. The value of rewards on offer and the frequency of events are dependent on the grid operator or energy market equiwatt is running the event for.
We do not guarantee a set number of points for a certain amount of energy saved per kWh. The amount of points granted to each user is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, ‘Smart Meter’ forecast, equivent participation preferences and manual response engagement, which is reflected in the total amount of energy shifted by a user.
Points will not be credited to a user's account until their successful participation in an equivent has been verified. This process involves validating how much energy has been shifted during an event with the grid operator responsible for running the event, to make sure that the correct level of rewards are passed on. This process can take up to 30 days from the date of the event.
When users have accumulated enough points, they will be able to redeem them for rewards. The rewards can be made effective through our Gift Store section of the app where the steps will guide users to complete the redeeming process.
Once a user has redeemed a gift they will receive confirmation by email along with an estimated timeframe by which the gift will be passed onto them.
Points redemption is restricted to one account per household. Please note that the rewards are not guaranteed and equiwatt reserves the right to change the terms or remove the offer without any prior notice.
Please note that if no half-hourly data can be retrieved for a Smart Meter from the Smart Meter DCC after 2 weeks of a user participating in an equivent, then no points will be awarded.
Please note that any points earned will expire after 1 year of inactivity on a user's account (e.g. they have not logged into the app and participated in any equivents for 1 year).
Points and rewards are not sponsored by any third party or other technology providers.
