UNITED’S BRING YOUR OWN THERMOSTAT (B.Y.O.T) PROGRAM AGREEMENT FOR UNITED MEMBERS
Thank you for your interest in the United’s B.Y.O.T. Program, a service offered by United Cooperative Services, Inc. (United).
United’s B.Y.O.T. Program allows you to participate in a program for residential members offered by United, called “United’s B.Y.O.T. Program”. As part of United’s B.Y.O.T Program, your eligible Thermostat(s) will automatically change the temperature set-point in your home on the event day without any manual intervention by you. At any time that you desire, you may override this temperature set-point simply by turning your Thermostat(s) to a different temperature setting. As part of United’s B.Y.O.T. Program, United will work with Open Access Technology International, Inc. (OATI), United’s demand response management system provider, to reduce member usage during peak periods.
Your agreement to these terms (“Agreement”) gives your thermostat manufacturer, Resideo Technologies, Inc. (Honeywell), and OATI permission to access and use your energy usage and billing information, to enable United’s B.Y.O.T. Program and for United to enroll you in United’s B.Y.O.T. Program, pursuant to the terms and conditions below as well as United’s Tariff’s, Fees, Charges, Rules and Regulations. Any additional Thermostats installed at your United service address will be automatically enrolled in United’s B.Y.O.T. Program.

Incentive(s)
United account holders are eligible to earn incentive payments or other rewards (“Incentives”) for enrolling and/or continued enrollment in United’s B.Y.O.T. Program. Incentives will be provided pursuant to the applicable United offer.
