PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY
Updated: March 10, 2025
Please read the following Terms of Use carefully before using Qmerit’s or any Program Sponsor’s “Find an Installer” Website (the “Website”) and the services available through the Website (the “Services”). By accessing or using this Website or any of the Services, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth below. You should review these terms and conditions regularly as they may change at any time at our sole discretion. If you do not agree to any term or condition, you should not access or otherwise use this Website.

1. This Website is Intended to Help You Identify a Third-Party Licensed Installer
This Website is provided to you by Qmerit Electrification LLC, without charge, as a convenience and for your information only. The purpose of this Website is to help you find an installer for electrification products who has demonstrated certain competencies for the installation of specified products in your home or business (an “Installer”). Our services are available as a matter of convenience to assist you in contacting local Installers and receiving bids for installation of electrification products. While you may access our services by means of a link from the manufacturer of your vehicle, your electrification product manufacturer, or a fleet management company (a “Program Sponsor”), neither we nor the Program Sponsor guarantee the qualifications or quality of any Installer and, in all cases, it remains your responsibility to negotiate, select and contract with any of the Installers featured on this Website.
2. While We are Not Your Installer, We Stand Behind Our Nationwide Network of Certified Electricians Who are Dedicated to Providing Safe, Hassle-Free Installation Services.
Qmerit Provides to You Peace of Mind by doing the following:
Every installation by a certified Installer is required to meet the standards of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and that includes any AHJ-mandated permitting and inspections. Qmerit tracks and collects permit receipts, permit applications, and proof of a passed inspection on projects as required.
Your hired Installer will use high-quality materials in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, as well as local and national electrical code requirements.
- Making You Aware of Financial Incentives
Qmerit will proactively inform you of available rebates to help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
- Supporting You at Every Step
Your project is managed by our Customer Success Team. If you have any questions, Qmerit promises to respond within one business day.
- Providing More for Your Money
We provide exceptional value when combined with Qmerit’s competitive pricing, high-quality materials, and permitted, code-compliant expert installation. services, This comprehensive approach offers our customers superior quality and reliability at a competitive cost. Qmerit is willing to offer a comparative bid or, if an alternative installer is unavailable, or a quote evaluation conducted by a Certified Master Electrician to ensure you are getting the best value.
Every installation is backed by the Installer’s 12-month warranty on electrical parts and labor. This warranty acts as an extra layer of protection on top of your charger manufacturer’s product warranty. If an Installer fails to honor their 12-month warranty within ten (10) business days, contact Qmerit, and we will work to identify an alternative Installer to correct the issue.
3. We are Not Licensed Contractors, and You Are Solely Responsible for the Installer You Hire
We are not a general contractor or a licensed contractor of any type, and neither we nor the Program Sponsors are performing the installation services and are not managing or overseeing any Installer who performs services. While certain service providers are visible as Installers on our Website, once those service providers submit evidence of having met specific criteria set by us or our Program Sponsor, neither we nor the Program Sponsors endorse nor are responsible or liable for any Installer, nor any of their related claims, data, advertising, products, goods or services available or unavailable from, or through, an Installer or any other third party. Although we may in many cases collect payment from you, or from a Program Sponsor or from a vehicle finance company, and then process payments being paid to the Installer for the work the Installer is doing at your home, we are not the Installer, and we are not responsible for any of the work performed by the Installer. Notwithstanding any steps that we may take, your determination of which Installer to select, as well as your dealings with, or participation in promotions with, any other Installers and any other terms, conditions, representations or warranties associated with such dealings, are between you and the Installer exclusively. You should make whatever investigation or use whatever other resources that you deem necessary or appropriate before hiring or engaging any Installer.

Qmerit shall have sole control of the defense of any such Claim.
16. Third Parties May Have Rights Under This Agreement
Some of the provisions of these Terms of Use are for the benefit of Qmerit and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers, as well as Program Sponsors. You acknowledge that each of these individuals or entities, including any party designated as a Released Party or Indemnified Party, shall have the right to assert and enforce those provisions directly against you on its own behalf, and such parties shall be intended third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use.
17. How This Agreement May Be Terminated
These Terms of Use may be terminated by either party without notice at any time for any reason provided that you may no longer use our Website after you have terminated these Terms of Use. Provisions 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 12-19 of these Terms of Use shall survive any termination.
18. Notices May Be Provided Electronically
By use of the Website, you consent to receive electronic communications from us via email or directly to your account, and you agree that any such communications satisfy any legal requirement to make such communications in writing. You also agree that we may communicate any notices to you under these Terms of Use, through electronic mail, regular mail or posting the notices on the Website. All notices to us will be provided by either sending: (i) an email to customerservice@qmerit.com or (ii) a letter, first class certified mail, to Qmerit Electrification, LLC, 2 Venture, Suite 550, Irvine, California 92618; Attn: User Services. Notices sent by mail will be deemed delivered upon the earlier of the verification of delivery or two (2) business days after being sent.
19. Applicable Law; Limited Time to Make a Claim
Any claims relating to our Website, the Services you receive, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that any legal action or proceeding between us for any purpose concerning these Terms of Use or the parties’ obligations shall be brought exclusively in arbitration in accordance with Section 20 below. YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR WILL FOREVER BE BARRED. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Use shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
20. Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
We both agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Qmerit arising in connection with or relating in any way to the Website, the Services or these Terms of Use, or to your relationship with Qmerit or any of our Program Sponsors as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Services or these Terms of Use) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration before a single arbitrator. We both agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Mandatory Arbitration provisions in these Terms of Use or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court, except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration.
BOTH YOU AND QMERIT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both of us agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
21. Efforts to Resolve a Claim Before Commencing Arbitration
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Our address for Notice is: Qmerit Electrification, LLC, ATTN: General Counsel, 2 Venture, Suite 550, Irvine, California 92618. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, either one of us may commence an arbitration proceeding.
22. How Arbitration is Commenced and Administered
Once the procedure in Section 20 has been satisfied or the time has expired, either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between us will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in force (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and we both agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. We can also help put you in touch with the AAA. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.
23. Where the Arbitration Would Take Place
Subject to Section 25 below, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address, or the closest location in which the AAA is able to administer the arbitration. If the claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.
24. Who Pays for the Arbitration?
If you choose to file an arbitration proceeding and you are required to pay a filing fee, we will reimburse you for that filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US $25,000, in which case you will be responsible for the filing fee. We will pay any other arbitration fees, including your share of arbitrator compensation, unless otherwise required by AAA rules or court order. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. If we are the prevailing party, you will reimburse us for any arbitration costs or fees we paid on your behalf. Except as part of an indemnity obligation which expressly recites the recovery of attorneys’ fees set forth in these Terms of Use, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees.
25. Enforceability
A motion to compel arbitration may be brought by either party in any court in any jurisdiction or venue in which an action has been filed. If the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 19 – 24 are invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree to the following provisions in lieu of arbitration: The exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall be the federal or state court in Orange County, California, and we both hereby agree and consent to such exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy related to these Terms of Use in such jurisdiction and venue. You waive any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue or forum non conveniens to a claim brought in such court; provided, however, that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to litigate the action in the county or state where any breach by you occurred or where you can be found. No action may consolidate more than your individual claims and you waive the right to have any court preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You agree to limit any relief sought with the court to only your claims as the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by your individual claim.
26. Miscellaneous
These Terms of Use and other agreements, rules, and policies incorporated by reference to these Terms of Use, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between us and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Qmerit regarding the subject matter contained in these Terms of Use. Additional terms and conditions may exist between you and third parties, including but not limited to, Installers. These Terms of Use are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate this agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between us as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Website. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of these Terms of Use.
