There are two separate Base agreements: the battery agreement and the retail energy provider agreement.
Here’s what it means to sign up with Base:
Base will become your energy provider for the term indicated in your agreement and will renew your energy rates at a price below the market average.
Base can access the battery when necessary and handles maintenance and warranty issues. All applicable warranties from the installer and manufacturer are transferred to you.
If you move, you can transfer the agreement to the next homeowner at no cost to you or them.
Backup energy should not be used for life-critical devices and cannot be guaranteed.
You may incur fees if the battery is damaged.
If you ever want to cancel with Base, you only have to pay a $500 deinstallation fee.
