• • Credit Requirements

Before Peace Power arranges to supply Energy to your Site, and before this Agreement comes into effect, you must meet our credit requirements and your site must be enrolled by your Distribution Company.  By signing this Agreement, you agree to provide us with, and authorize us to request and receive from third parties, reasonable financial and credit information.  We shall use such credit information to determine if you meet our credit requirements, which we shall set from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion.  Subject to your credit worthiness, we may require a deposit for services, as described herein.  You agree to maintain credit worthiness to our satisfaction at all times throughout the Term of this Agreement, as hereinafter defined.  In the event that you do not maintain credit worthiness to our satisfaction, we may:

In the event that the Customer is a corporate entity, one of the individual contact person(s) for the Customer must be a director within the meaning of the Alberta Business Corporations Act and is hereby also explicitly agreeing to be a Customer within the meaning of this Agreement.  For greater certainty, each director who is an individual contact person hereby agrees to personally indemnify Peace Power for any amounts owing under this Agreement.

• TERM AND TERMINATION

In the event that this is a stable rate, fixed Term Agreement, you will be responsible to pay the greater of the full amount of Energy Charges payable under this Agreement until the end of the Term or an early termination fee of $75 per partial or whole year remaining on the Term.

• • Termination by Peace Power

We may cancel all or a part of this Agreement, without notice or payment, in the following circumstances:

• • • Immediately in the event of breach of any of the Customer’s obligations under this Agreement, upon which termination Peace Power will charge the Customer an early termination fee the greater of i) $75 per partial or whole year remaining on the Term of any stable rate contract plus costs for Peace Power, or ii) the outstanding value of the remainder of the stable rate contract plus costs for Peace Power, minus market value, so long as the value of the stable rate contract plus costs is more than the market value.  If the value of the remainder of the stable rate contract is less than the market value, then the market value will be deemed to be zero.  Added to this calculation will be the Customer’s anticipated excess or unused Energy multiplied by the applicable fees; or
    • On thirty (30) days’ notice if the Customer’s Energy use is measured with a daily, time-of-use, or interval meter; or
    • On thirty (30) days’ notice if the Customer uses more than 250,000 kWh of electricity or 2,500 GJ of natural gas at their Site in the twelve-month period preceding notice of termination or the pattern of energy use at their Site reasonably indicates that they will exceed more than 250,000kWh of Electricity or 2,500 GJ of Natural Gas in a twelve-month period.
  • De-Enrollment and Outstanding Obligations

When this Agreement ends, we will de-enroll your Site. Outstanding obligations under this Agreement will survive the cancellation, termination or expiry of this Agreement until the de-enrollment is finished and any outstanding obligations (including any obligation to pay) under this Agreement have been satisfied in full.

• • Credit Balance

At the termination of this Agreement, for any reason, and after all amounts outstanding have been paid, if there is a credit balance greater than $5.00 CAD, it will be refunded to you via Interac e-Transfer and sent to the current email address on file at the time of such termination.  In the event that there is a balance less than $5.00 CAD, it shall be written off and the account shall be closed.

• • Unexpected/Uncontrollable Events (Force Majeure)

• provision of energy and rates
  
  • Plans and Additional Fees

Peace Power provides Energy on a variety of plans to meet the varying needs of its customers.  The type of plan you choose will determine the rates you pay and how they are calculated.  The charge you agree to and the Energy we agree to supply you is set out in the Sign-Up Sheet and the Energy Plan Confirmation that we will send you and is based on the plan that you have chosen.  With the exception of any stable rate plan for which you have entered into an Agreement, we may change this fee from time to time with reasonable notice as described herein.  You agree to pay for, and we agree to sell and provide you, Energy based on the agreed energy charge, administration charge, transaction fee, third party charge, and any other applicable charge.  This fee shall be subject to applicable taxes, which means any applicable federal, provincial or regulatory taxes, duties, and surcharges which may be assessed, levied or imposed with respect to the supply of Energy under this Agreement.  In the event that any payment is returned for reason of insufficient funds, it will be governed by Article 6.4 herein.  Peace Power provides the following rate options, which may or may not be on offer at any given time:

• Variable electricity rate (“VER”): also known as a floating electricity rate, a VER is calculated based on the wholesale cost of electricity, which includes a processing cost and a transaction fee (a charge represented in cents per kWh for electricity and $/GJ for natural gas as posted on Peace Power’s website and known as the “Transaction Fee”) and any contract using this rate has a Term of five (5) years.  The Transaction Fee is subject to change at the sole discretion of Peace Power and upon reasonable notice to you.  A VER is calculated monthly, based on the actual month-end price for power as reported by the Alberta Electric System Operator (“AESO”) and applied to the previous month’s consumption.  For the portion of consumption that overlaps into the current month, the average rate based on a previous 30-day period is used to price that portion of consumption.  Your invoices will be adjusted from time to time to account for your actual consumption once we have received this information.
• Stable Electricity Rate (“SER”): also known as a fixed guaranteed rate, this is a predetermined rate that is valid up to a defined expiry date that you can see on your monthly statement.  Upon an SER’s expiry, the plan will be renewed on the lowest applicable SER available at the renewal date.  If no SER is available, a contract will be automatically renewed with a VER.  SER may not be available for certain Sites.
• Variable Natural Gas Rate (“VNGR”): also known as a floating natural gas rate, this is based on a volume-weighted average of transacted prices for all physically delivered natural gas in a calendar month at the Alberta AB-NIT market centre and any contract using this rate has a Term of five (5) years.  A final index price will be calculated in Canadian Dollars/Gigajoule (“$/GJ”) when all physical deliveries have been completed for the relevant month.  The final index price is typically available two business days following the final scheduled delivery for the month.  The posted rate is the average of the 2a and the 5a price posted on www.ngx.com, plus a Transaction Fee, which is subject to change at the sole discretion of Peace Power and upon reasonable notice to you.
• Stable Natural Gas Rate (“SNGR”): also known as a fixed guaranteed rate, this is a predetermined rate valid up to a defined expiry date shown that you can see on your monthly statement.  Upon an SNGR’s expiry, the plan will be renewed on the lowest applicable SNGR available at the renewal date.  If no SNGR is available, a contract will be automatically renewed with a VNGR.  SNGR may not be available for certain Sites.
• Dual Fuel Rate (“DFR”): this is a predetermined rate valid up to a defined expiry date shown that you can see on your monthly statement.  Upon a DFR’s expiry, the plan will be renewed on the lowest applicable DFR available at the renewal date.  If no DFR is available, a contract will be automatically renewed with a SER and SNGR.  If no SER or SNGR is available, a contract will be renewed with a VER or VNGR.  DFR may not be available for certain Sites.
• Green Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”): some SER are set based on the purchase of a minimum percentage of RECs by the Customer, in order to qualify for the rate.  You may also define any percentage set out in your Energy plan by which you may want to off-set your monthly electricity consumption.  This excess may be altered at any time. 
• Micro-Generation Rate (“MGR”): electricity exported to the Alberta electricity grid by micro-generators is calculated based on bi-directional meter read information provided by your Energy Distribution Company.  The rate paid for electricity exported to the electricity grid will be calculated at the same rate as electricity consumed from the electricity grid.  The credit may be delayed by one month.
• Top Up Energy Rates: If you have elected to make an optional “top up”, we will charge you an amount equal to that optional top up, as part of your energy bill.  We will record this top up as a donation made on your behalf to whatever charity Peace Power designates, or a charity that you have designated.  Even though the top up is in addition to the Energy rates, we will treat all amounts, including top ups, as amounts owing under your monthly bill.  This means that any non-payments of any amount, including top ups, will be treated as a non-payment under this Agreement.  If you wish to discontinue top ups, we will require ten (10) business days’ written notice.
• Additional Charges: in addition to the charges for Energy described above, Peace Power may charge you additional charges such as administration charges and other charges related to the supply of Energy under your plan.  Such charges will be shown on your bill.
• Paper Bill Fee: if you require a paper bill, a charge of $3.00 CAD will be added to each monthly bill to cover Peace Power’s cost of processing and mailing.
• Credit Card Surcharge: if you choose to pay your fees using a credit card, a surcharge of 2.4% will be added to each monthly bill paid by credit card to cover Peace Power’s cost of processing credit card payments.  If you choose to pay by pre-authorized debit, this surcharge will not be payable.

Any and all fees under this Agreement shall be subject to applicable third party charges, meaning the amounts that are charged to Peace Power by third parties as they relate to the supply of Energy to the Site(s), which may include: (i) enrollment and de-enrollment/exit fees; (ii) franchise fees; (iii) tariffs;(iv) local access fees; (v) transportation charges; (vi) transmission and distribution charges; (vii) rate riders; (viii) UFG-Related Charges; (ix) delivery charges; (x) taxes; and (xi) any similar or comparable charges.

• • Tools

Peace Power may also provide other energy-related services such as analytics and other tools to better demonstrate your consumption to you and to help you manage same (the “Tools”).  The Tools may be provided to you in partnership with a third party and, in order to provide you with Tools, Peace Power may need to provide your consumption and other information to third-party partners.  Such provision will be in accordance with privacy policies governing this Agreement and provision of the Energy.  By executing this Agreement, you are consenting to Peace Power providing such information to third parties as required in Peace Power’s sole discretion from time to time.

• • Rate and Plan Changes

The Energy Rate(s) offered by Peace Power change periodically based upon normal supply and demand conditions in the Alberta marketplace.  You, as a Customer, are expected to monitor the market and to actively participate in obtaining the best rates for you.  Peace Power is not responsible whatsoever of notifying you of rate changes or posted rates from other suppliers of Energy, or to change your Energy plan without your instruction and consent.  

• • • In the event that you wish to change your Energy plan, you are required to submit a rate change request form through your online portal or notify our customer care team by phone or email.  Such a change is subject to your qualifying for the new Energy plan and rate.  A minimum of ten (10) business days’ notice is required for such a change.
    • If approved, your new Energy Rate and plan will become effective following the next monthly meter read at your Site, provided that the new Energy Rate is available and effective on or after the meter read date.
    • If you are on a DFR plan, and you choose to change one of your rates, you will no longer be on a DFR plan and your electricity rate, for example, will be changed to the lowest SER available.  If there is no applicable SER, the rate will be changed to a VER.
• DEPOSIT
  
  • Security Deposit

In the event that you do not have satisfactory credit or payment history, at the sole and absolute discretion of Peace Power, we may require you to pay a security deposit (“Security Deposit”).  The Security Deposit shall be collected as follows:

• • • the Security Deposit shall be equal to 2 cents per kWh multiplied by the Customer’s estimated annual consumption for electricity and an estimate on the average monthly utility invoice for natural gas.  The total amount shall not exceed 30% of the Customer’s estimated yearly Energy invoices;
    • Peace Power will withdraw the full amount of the Security Deposit pre-enrollment and enrollment will not occur until the Security Deposit is paid;
    • the Security Deposit will be fully refunded in the event that this Agreement is cancelled within the 10-day grace period after signing this Agreement;
    • Peace Power shall hold the Security Deposit in a non-interest bearing trust account and refund it in full to you in the event that you make 12 consecutive required monthly payments without default; and
    • if you default on a payment while Peace Power is holding a Security Deposit, Peace Power may utilize your Security Deposit to pay any outstanding unpaid amounts and may, at its sole and absolute discretion, cancel or terminate this Agreement without notice to you.
• BILLING AND PAYMENT
  
  • Billing

Peace Power will bill you regularly by way of emailing you a monthly billing statement based on the most recent contact information that we have on file for you.  You must pay each bill in full.  Your billing statement will be processed monthly and the timing will be dictated by your Sites’ meter read cycle. Your bill’s payment due date may fluctuate month to month. Your billing statement email will include an online link whereby you can view, download or print invoice details for each Site. Your bill will include charges and adjustments for the Energy supplied to you under your chosen Energy plan, as well as other charges as referred to in this Agreement. The portion of your bill related to consumption is based on meter readings and estimates provided by your Distribution Company. Peace Power may also make estimates if actual data is not available. Therefore, your invoice may be debited or credited as we adjust prior period estimates to actual values. You are responsible for paying all bills in connection with this Agreement, even those that we invoice after the end of the Term for costs or adjustments incurred due to consumption during the Term or notice period when this Agreement is terminated. Subject to applicable laws, you are responsible for all charges on your bill, even if you don’t receive your bill on time, or at all, for any reason. This includes, without limitation, an interruption in postal service or a situation where we don’t have your correct contact information. We may terminate this Agreement without notice if you don’t pay your bills on time, at which point you will still owe the amounts from any and all outstanding bills.

• • Payment

You must enter into a payment agreement acceptable to Peace Power, which may include Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) withdrawals, and your billing statement will advise you when payment will be taken pursuant to that payment agreement.  Payment under this Agreement will be governed by the following terms:

• • • If you choose to pay your fees using a credit card, a surcharge of 2.4% will be added to each monthly bill paid by credit card to cover Peace Power’s cost of processing credit card payments.  If you choose to pay by PAD withdrawals, this surcharge will not be payable;
    • By providing Peace Power with your banking information, you authorize Peace Power to draw or deposit on your account with the branch of the financial institution where you maintain an account. This authorization cannot be cancelled if there is an outstanding billing balance due and payable to Peace Power;
    • You acknowledge this authorization is provided for the benefit of Peace Power and your bank, and is provided in consideration of your bank agreeing to process payments and credits against your account in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Payments Association;
    • You acknowledge and agree that Peace Power may use your account and PAD details to pay any outstanding amounts owed relating to you as a Customer, or your specific Site(s).  For greater certainty, you hereby authorize Peace Power to utilize the account and PAD issued under this Agreement to pay outstanding amounts under another agreement for another site, linked to you as a Customer, or another agreement for the same Site, linked to you as a Customer;
    • You undertake to inform Peace Power, in writing, of any change in the account information provided in this authorization at least 10 days prior to the next due date of the PAD;
    • You acknowledge that your bank is not required to verify that a PAD has been issued in accordance with the particulars of your authorization including, but not limited to, the amount and further acknowledge that your bank is not required to verify that any purpose of payment for which the PAD was issued has been fulfilled by Peace Power as a condition to honoring a PAD issued or caused to be issued by Peace Power on your account; and
    • Revocation of this authorization does not terminate any agreement for goods or services that exists between you and Peace Power. Your authorization applies only to the method of payment and does not otherwise have any bearing on the agreement for goods or service.
  • Estimated and Actual Consumption

The portion of your bill related to consumption is based on the metered or estimated Energy data provided by your Distribution Company. You hereby agree that Peace Power may adjust your bill, either within that billing cycle or on a future bill, to account for the change from estimated to actual consumption.

• • Late Payments or Disputed Bills

If we do not receive your payment in full by the due date specified on your bill, you will be charged and must pay interest at the rate of 18% per year (“Late Charge”) on all overdue amounts calculated, which Late Charge shall be compounded monthly from thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice until the date that payment is received in full.  Returned payments from financial or lending institutions for insufficient funds or any other reason will result in a charge to you of CDN$45.00 or such higher amount as is charged by the applicable financial or lending institution with respect to such returned payment.  You may dispute a bill up to thirty (30) days upon receipt of a bill; it is your responsibility to review and ensure you are being billed on the correct rate and Site ID and notify us of an error as soon as possible.

If you do not pay your bills on time, we may terminate this Agreement without notice and seek recovery of all related costs.  In the event that Peace Power has to commence collection steps on your unpaid bills, you hereby agree to pay and Peace Power hereby acknowledges that it will charge you, all costs associated with such collection.  You will be responsible for, and indemnify Peace Power for, all legal and collection fees (including fees and disbursements paid to our legal counsel on a solicitor and own client basis).  In the event that you have unpaid amounts owing at any time, Peace Power may use any deposit paid by you in order to pay same.
