Generally, Rewards may be redeemed in various forms in Sunnova’s sole discretion, including, but not limited to in the form of a gift card or cash. Restrictions may apply. For example, if the Reward is in the form of a prepaid reward card or electronic prepaid card, it may be subject to the issuer's terms and conditions.

Each Reward will be issued as a Visa Prepaid Reward Card or electronic prepaid card issued by Group O.

If Sunnova’s or Group O’s delivery of a Reward will require Sunnova to issue User a 1099 form, Sunnova’s obligation to make the Reward shall be conditioned upon receipt of, from User, any required tax documentation necessary to issue the 1099 which will be handled by Sunnova’s agent for these matters, Group O.

Verified Qualified Entry

Rewards are subject to verification. Sunnova may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation.

Violate applicable law;
Infringe the intellectual property rights of Sunnova or any third parties;
Stalk, harass, or harm another individual;
Collect or store personal data about Users;
Impersonate any person;

Resell, barter, trade, auction or otherwise generate income by providing access to the Program to others;
Engage in actions that disparage or malign or call into question the reputation of Sunnova, in Sunnova’s sole discretion.

Fraudulent and Suspicious Behavior. Sunnova may prohibit a User from participating in the Program or receiving a Reward, in its sole discretion, if Sunnova determines such User is attempting to undermine the fairness, integrity or legitimate operation of the Program in any way by cheating, hacking, deception, or any other unfair playing practices of intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other Users or representatives of Sunnova. Use of any automated system to participate is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification. Users may not enter with multiple or fake emails addresses or accounts, use fictitious identities or use any system, bot or other device or artifice to participate in the Program or receive a Reward. Sunnova reserves the right to disqualify any User and/or cancel any Reward(s) it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Program or violating the Terms. Referrals generated by a script, macro or other automated means will be disqualified.

Governing Law

By participating in the Program, you agree that you have read, understand and will abide, and be bound, by these Terms. Except where prohibited, disputes, claims and cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Program or a Reward shall be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

General

The Program and the Terms are void where any aspect of the Program is prohibited, taxed or otherwise restricted by law or where registration, bonding, local judging or translation is required. The Program is subject to all national, state, and local laws including applicable tax codes.
Sunnova shall not be liable for any failure of or delay in relation to the Program for the period that such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, pandemic, war, strikes or labor disputes, embargoes, government orders or any other force majeure event.

Arbitration

By participating in the Program, You agree to resolve any disputes arising from the Program or related to these Terms through binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act rather than any state arbitration law. The arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) by a single neutral arbitrator. Either party may initiate the arbitration process by filing the necessary forms with the AAA. To learn more about arbitration before the AAA, you can review materials available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in the location that is most convenient to you. If the AAA is unavailable to administer the dispute, then the arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by JAMS, under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) by a single neutral arbitrator agreed on by the parties within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the arbitration. If JAMS is not available either, then the parties shall select another recognized arbitration administrator which can offer a location for arbitration that is close to you.

If you initiate the arbitration, you will be required to pay the first $125 of any filing fee. We will pay any filing fees in excess of $125 and we will pay all of the arbitration fees and costs. If we initiate the arbitration, we will pay all of the filing fees and all of the arbitration fees and costs. We will each bear all of our own respective attorney’s fees, witness fees, and costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.
The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any legal or equitable remedy or relief that a court could order or grant under the Terms. The arbitrator, however, is not authorized to change or alter the Terms or to make any award that would extend to any transaction other than yours. All statutes of limitation that are applicable to any dispute shall apply to any arbitration between you and Sunnova. The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, briefly stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Only disputes involving you and Sunnova may be addressed in the arbitration. Disputes must be brought in the name of an individual person or entity and must proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The arbitrator will not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the dispute. If you and we arbitrate a dispute, none of you or us, nor any other person, may pursue the dispute in arbitration as a class action, class arbitration, private attorney general action or other representative action, nor may any such dispute be pursued on your or our behalf in any litigation in any court except as specifically provided below. Claims regarding any dispute and remedies sought as part of a class action, class arbitration, private attorney general or other representative action are subject to arbitration only on an individual (non- class, non-representative) basis, and the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. This means that the arbitration may not address disputes involving other persons with disputes similar to the disputes between you and us.

EVEN IF ANY PART OF THIS SECTION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE THAT MIGHT ARISE BETWEEN OR INVOLVING YOU AND SUNNOVA, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTE.

BECAUSE YOU AND WE HAVE AGREED TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION, YOU AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT DISPUTE IN COURT, OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT DISPUTE, OR ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES AS DEFINED HEREIN. FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES AND MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IT IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL BAR YOU OR SUNNOVA FROM: (I) OBTAINING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FROM A COURT AGAINST THREATENED CONDUCT THAT COULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE HARM, LOSS OR DAMAGE, UNDER THE USUAL EQUITY RULES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE RULES FOR OBTAINING RESTRAINING ORDERS AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS; OR (II) OBTAINING A JUDGMENT FROM A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION CONFIRMING THE AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR; OR (III) OBTAINING RESOLUTION OF A DISPUTE IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF THE DISPUTE FALLS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO TRANSFER RESOLUTION OF SUCH A DISPUTE FROM A SMALL CLAIMS COURT TO A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION).
