LG&E and KU Terms and Conditions for Smartphones

Smartphone Application End User License Agreement

Welcome to LG&E and KU! The LG&E and KU Smartphone Application End User License Agreement ("Agreement") applies to the smartphone application provided by Louisville Gas and Electric Company ("LG&E") and Kentucky Utilities Company ("KU") (referred to as the "Application"). In this Agreement, we frequently refer to "LG&E and KU" together. However, this Agreement does not have the effect of making an LG&E customer a customer of KU or making a KU customer a customer of LG&E.

Driving Safety

The highest priority of LG&E and KU is safety. LG&E and KU support safe driving practices and request that you not use the Application when you are driving a motor vehicle even if doing so is legally permitted in your location.

Governing Law

The Agreement, and all future agreements you shall enter into with LG&E and KU, unless otherwise indicated on such other agreement, shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof. This is the case regardless of whether you reside or transact business with LG&E, KU or any of their affiliates or agents in Kentucky or elsewhere. Unless a dispute would be governed by an applicable arbitration clause, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Jefferson, Kentucky. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.


Miscellaneous

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid under law, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision or provisions hereof which are otherwise valid. The failure of LG&E or KU to enforce any provision in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such provision or any other provision.
