This information is provided in our Privacy Policy for this App and it is important that you read that information carefully.
The ways in which you can use the App and Documentation may also be controlled by the rules and policies of the Appstore from which you downloaded the App, so you should also read their rules and policies carefully.

Third-Party Service Providers
When using certain features of the App, you may be put into contact with one or more third-party service providers (as further described below). Where you engage with, and obtain services such as electronic vehicle charging (Third-Party Services) from such third-party service providers, you acknowledge that your contract for such Third-Party Services is with that third-party service provider, not with us. We do not provide, and have no responsibility for, Third-Party Services.
The Connection Points that you may locate and or access using this App are not operated or controlled by us. They are controlled by independent third parties (Hosts). Amongst other things, the Hosts set the prices for use of the relevant Third-Party Services, and any other terms for using such Third-Party Services. It is important that you ensure you are satisfied with any such prices and terms prior to making use of the applicable Third-Party Services. Any dispute or disagreement about the provision of those Third-Party Services is a matter between you and the applicable Host.
Where you make any payment via the App to a Host, we do not process that payment. The payment is processed as Third-Party Services by Opayo. As with Hosts, it is important that before entering your payment details or making a payment, you have reviewed and ensured you are happy with all applicable rules and policies of Opayo. Any dispute or disagreement about the provision of Third-Party Services relating to payment processing is a matter between you and Opayo.
Account creation and anonymous use
The App may allow one or both of the following options for using the App and accessing the Third-Party Services:
Account – you can enter your details and create an account, to which you can add credit from time-to-time. This credit is then applied against Third-Party Services received from Hosts; or
Pay As You Go – you can instead make payments for specific Third-Party Services on an “as and when” basis, without first topping up an Account balance. This can be done either via an Account or without entering your details (but please bear in mind that many functions of the App will not be available without setting up an Account.
Where you create an Account but do not log into it for a 12 month period, we may close your Account either temporarily or permanently. You will forfeit any credit balance remaining on your Account in such circumstances.
You may not transfer the App to someone else
We are giving you personally the right to use the App and the Service as set out above. You may not transfer the App or the Service to someone else, whether for money, for anything else or for free. If you sell any device on which the App is installed, you must remove the App from it.
Changes to these terms
We may need to change these terms, for example to reflect changes in law or best practice or to deal with additional features which we introduce. We will notify you of a change when you next start the App.
If you do not accept the notified changes you will not be permitted to continue to use the App and the Service.
Update to the App and changes to the Service
From time to time we may automatically update the App (or ask you to manually update the App) to change the Service to improve performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to the operating system or address security issues
If you choose not to install such updates or if you opt out of automatic updates you may not be able to continue using the App and the Services.
If someone else owns the phone or device you are using
If you download or stream the App onto any phone or other device not owned by you, you must have the owner's permission to do so. You will be responsible for complying with these terms, whether or not you own the phone or other device.
