Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the website at bestenergyconsultant.site and any advisory services provided by Best Energy Consultant, an independent energy advisory and consulting firm with its office at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware 19958 ("we", "us", "our"). By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or request our services.
1. Nature of Our Business
Best Energy Consultant is an advisory and consulting firm only. We do not generate, transmit, distribute, resell, or supply electricity, and we are not a utility, power provider, or licensed electrical contractor. Our work consists of analysis, assessment, reporting, and advice. All design, installation, and construction work described in our recommendations must be performed by appropriately licensed professionals.
2. Scope of Services
Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and fees for each engagement are set out in a written statement of work or proposal issued before work begins. Where a written scope exists, it takes precedence over general statements made on this website. We may decline to engage with, or withdraw from, any project if it falls outside our scope, presents safety or legal concerns, or conflicts with our professional judgment.
3. Information You Provide
Our analysis is only as reliable as the data behind it. You are responsible for ensuring that utility bills, meter data, facility drawings, and other information you (or your agents) provide to us is accurate and complete. We rely on the data supplied to us and on reasonable assumptions stated in our reports, and we are not responsible for errors or omissions in information provided by you.
4. Estimates Are Estimates
Figures for energy savings, cost reductions, demand reductions, and payback periods are estimates based on the data available at the time of analysis, assumed utility rates, occupancy, and operating conditions. Actual results will vary. Nothing in our reports, presentations, or discussions constitutes a guarantee, warranty, or promise of specific savings or performance outcomes.
5. Fees & Payment
Fees are quoted in writing before work begins and are payable on the schedule agreed in the applicable statement of work. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees are non-refundable once the corresponding work has commenced. Late payments may bear interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. We may suspend services if fees are overdue by more than 15 days.
6. Confidentiality & Intellectual Property
Information you share with us is treated as confidential and used solely to perform the agreed services. Reports, analyses, and other deliverables produced by us are provided for your internal use and are not to be resold, redistributed, or published without our prior written consent. Each party reserves all rights not expressly granted here.
7. Your Responsibilities
- Provide reasonable access to the facility and data needed to perform the agreed work;
- Engage appropriately licensed contractors for any implementation of recommendations;
- Obtain all required permits and approvals before work is carried out;
- Comply with applicable laws, codes, and your utility's requirements.
8. Third Parties
We may coordinate with contractors, utilities, vendors, and other third parties on your behalf, but we do not control their work and are not responsible or liable for their actions, omissions, pricing, or performance. Any vendor we help you evaluate is engaged by you directly, not by us. We do not receive commissions or referral fees from vendors, and we never do.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to our services, however caused. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of an engagement shall not exceed the fees actually paid to us for that engagement. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10. Independent Relationship
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between us and you. We are an independent contractor.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and each party consents to their jurisdiction.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes to the terms of an active engagement will be communicated in writing before they take effect.
