2. What is Charge Anywhere?
2.1
Charge Anywhere is a subscription service made available via the
OVO Charge app which allows users to access
Charging Stations around the UK, France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands and pay a reduced fee for their charging while out and about by signing up to one of our Membership Plans. You can also register without a Membership Plan and just pay after every Charging Session for the amount of electricity you use in a Charging Session (a
“Pay As You Go Customer”). Pay As You Go Customers don’t benefit from a discounted charging rate.
The OVO Charge app is a technology platform that allows users to connect with independent third-party service providers, Charge Point Operators (
“CPOs”) and use their Charging Stations in selected locations. You can view a map of locations we cover in the app. OVO doesn’t provide any charging services to you directly or own any of the Charging Stations.
3. Eligibility
3.1 To sign up to Charge Anywhere, you must:
be over 18;
live in any of the UK, Germany, France, Belgium or the Netherlands;
download the OVO Charge app;
create an account and register a valid payment card which must be in your name;
select from one of our Membership Plans, or register as Pay As You Go customer; and
select a home country where most of your EV Charging will occur for correct billing purposes.
3.2 You don’t have to be an OVO customer to sign up for Charge Anywhere
3.3 The creation of excessive multiple accounts (on a single Device or otherwise) and any misuse of the Services in different locations, including by attempting to leverage any pricing differences of Membership Plan in countries other than the country of registration of your Membership Plan and shall constitute a material breach of these Terms and we reserve the right to end your subscription to Charge Anywhere.
International Charging
3.4 As Charge Anywhere is available in different countries, when setting up an account with us and signing up for a Membership Plan you will be required to choose a single main country of residence from a drop down list that will come up on the app. You must choose the country where most of your EV Charging will be occurring. If your country of residence is not listed on the app, then Charge Anywhere is not available for you.
3.5 Although you are allowed to access the Services and use Charging Stations in different locations (for example, in a country which is not the one you have selected during your registration), you must ensure that at least 50% of your EV Charging takes place in that selected country where you have purchased your Membership Plan. If we suspect or identify that you are abusing your usage of the Services and carrying out 50% or more of your EV Charging in a location different than the one selected during your Membership Plan registration, we reserve the right at our sole discretion. to cancel your account or re-assign it to the correct country (being such the location where you most often carry out your EV Charging).
4. Charging
4.1 You can Charge your EV at any of the Charging Stations shown in the app. You can start a Charging Session using the app. Sometimes this will require access to your Device’s camera to scan the respective QR code of the Charging Station.
4.2 To use a Charging Station to charge your EV, you must have a valid payment card linked to your account and have sufficient funds on your card. If you do not have sufficient funds on your card you will not be able to charge your EV.

4.4 You acknowledge that we process payments through a third-party service provider and do not provide or own any EV Charging Stations or function as a Charge Point Operator. All such EV charging services are provided by independent CPOs who are not employed or otherwise engaged by OVO or any of its affiliates.
4.5 We are not responsible for the maintenance or proper functioning of the EV Charging Stations and accept no liability in relation to your use of the EV Charging Stations. The CPOs are fully responsible for ensuring the operation and maintenance of their own EV Charging Stations. Any problems or questions that might arise with regard to the Charging Stations, connection issues or other services that lie outside of Services provided to you under these Terms should be raised with and dealt with by the respective party offering these services (for example: the CPO).
4.6 The CPO provides access to its Charging Station through the app and, by using the Charging Station, you are automatically agreeing to the respective CPO’s terms and conditions.
4.7 The availability of Charging Stations is subject to change. You can find an updated list of Charging Stations on the app.
4.8
While every effort has been taken to ensure that all the information we provided to you via the app is correct, we do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained within the app, nor for the consequences of any actions taken or not taken as a result of this information. CPOs are solely responsible for providing the most accurate information about their Charging Stations. We shall have neither liability nor responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any loss or damage caused, or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly by the information contained within the app or the Services.
Your responsibilities when using a Charging Station

This implies that you use these Charging Stations according to their intended use as governed by the terms and conditions of the respective CPO. If you require guidance, service or support on how to use any particular EV Charging Station, you will need to contact the CPO that you are using directly. Their customer services contact details may be found on their website and are often advertised at the EV Charging Station itself.
4.10. Any gross misconduct or misuse by you leading to damage of Charging Stations will constitute a material breach of these Terms and your Membership Plan will be terminated.
4.11 Any disputes will be handled between you and the CPO directly. However, if a claim is raised against us by a CPO because of your misuse of the Services (including, without limitation, misuse which has led to damage of a specific Charging Station or any other breach of these Terms or the CPO’s terms), we shall pass on any such liability to you and you shall be liable to the CPO directly for any damage.
5. Payments
5.1 The price you will pay for EV Charging (the
“Rates”) carried out through Charge Anywhere will be displayed in our app.
5.2. Rates are shown in your local currency and are priced individually for each country.
5.3 We endeavour to ensure that Rates displayed on the app reflect the CPO’s most up to date price, however, occasionally, changes and errors occur, and we do not accept any responsibility if the Rates displayed on the app are inaccurate or do not reflect most up to date price.

If you are a Membership Plan Customer or a Pay as You Go Customer (for further details, please see clause 5.6 below), we will charge you after every Charging Session successfully completed through the app for the amount of electricity you have consumed in that Charging Session as well as any applicable fees. All charges will be calculated with reference to our Rates displayed on the app and will be automatically deducted from the payment card registered in your account.
5.5. All bills, invoices and prices provided to you by us are inclusive of any applicable VAT. To the extent any personal or other taxes are payable by you in respect of this Agreement in the jurisdiction where you reside or otherwise, they shall be entirely your responsibility.

The specific prepayment value varies depending on the country where your Charging Session takes place. This fee is refunded once your charge is completed and paid for. More information on pre-authorisation fees is available in the app.
5.7 It is your responsibility to ensure that the registered payment card is valid, up-to-date and has sufficient funds. In the event that debiting or charging your payment card is not possible, you may not be able to charge your EV and we may deactivate your ability to use the Services until you update your payment details and your payment transactions can be successfully completed.

8. Charge Anywhere Subscription Customers
8.1. As a Membership Plan Customer, you choose to pay a monthly subscription fee to OVO (“
Monthly Charge”) which will enable you access to OVO’s Services at a fixed discount per kilowatt-hour (“
Discounted Rate”) depending on your Membership Plan. We may offer different Membership Plan options from time to time and your Monthly Charge and respective Discounted Rate will be determined by the Membership Plan you choose. If a Charging Station charges a time fee rather than a fee per kilowatt-hour, your fixed discount will apply to the time fee.
8.2. The Discounted Rate will be made available to you via your account as soon as we have successfully taken the Monthly Charge from your payment card. This is done on a periodic basis and this will usually be done monthly (“
Payment Date”). However, we may change this period, and we would give you at least 14 days' notice of this.
8.3. You can switch between Membership Plans indefinitely and the switching can be done within our app.
8.4. If you switch your Membership Plan to have access to a more advantageous Discounted Rate (
“Upgrade Switch”), the new Membership Plan you’ve chosen to subscribe to will appear instantaneously on your app and you will be immediately charged for the difference on a pro-rata basis between your previous lower Discounted Rate and the new higher one. On the next billing date following your Upgrade Switch, you will continue to be charged for the Discounted Rate corresponding to your new Membership Plan.
8.5. If you switch your Membership Plan to a less advantageous Discounted Rate (
“Downgrade Switch”), the Discounted Rate you will be charged for in the relevant month you’ve effectuated the Downgrade Switch will not change and, on the next billing date following your Downgrade Switch, the lower Discounted Rate you’ve downgraded to will apply.
8.6. In order to use our Services via our Membership Plans, you must pay the Monthly Charge, whether or not any amount of electricity is consumed by you in a given month. If your Device is lost or stolen you remain responsible for all the Charges to your account that may be incurred until you successfully change your login credentials or ask us to do this for you.
8.7. We may change the Membership Plans available (or introduce new ones) and any pricing or other terms therein from time to time at our sole discretion and we will give you at least 7 days’ notice of any update.

As a Pay As You Go Customer, you choose not to subscribe to a particular Membership Plan and you will pay for the electricity that you use as you consume it. You will be billed at the Rate displayed on our Application and you will not benefit from any discount available to Membership Plan Customers. However, we will take no direct debit from your account (i.e., Monthly Charge) if you do not use the Services.
