Changes to these Terms of Use and the JPlug Solution
- Except where prohibited or restricted by applicable law, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change any element of these Terms of Use or the JPlug Solution at any time. When we change these Terms of Use, we will post the updated version of these Terms of Use to the JPlug Application. If required by applicable law, we will also provide you with prior notice of the change by sending you an email or notifying you by some other means.
- If you reside in Canada and you do not agree with the change, you may cancel these Terms of Use as set out herein. If required by applicable law, we may require you to provide consent to the change in a specified manner. If you do not agree to the change after receiving a notice from us of such change, you will stop using the JPlug Solution. Otherwise, your continued access to or use of the JPlug Solution after any changes to these Terms of Use or the JPlug Solution indicates your acceptance of such changes.
- If you reside in the United States, unless you first reject the updated Terms of Use by discontinuing all use of the JPlug Solution and sending a notice of termination using the following link: https://jplug.io/contact-us . You will be deemed to accept the changes and they will take effect at the “Update Effective Time”, which is the earlier of: (a) 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the 30th day after JPlug posts them (or a later date that we specify in the update, if any); (b) your first ever use of a new or changed feature of the JPlug Solution that is subject to the updated part of the Terms of Use, or (c) your taking some other action to specifically accept the updated Terms of Use, such as clicking to accept them. You must promptly cooperate with any request from us to authenticate that you are the account holder and that you are the actual sender of the termination notice. You agree to review these Terms of Use periodically to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version. You are prohibited from using the JPlug Solution after sending a notice of termination, except as may be necessary to follow any instructions we may provide for authentication of your identity and request. If you violate this requirement and do use the JPlug Solution after sending a notice of termination, your termination notice will be void as if it had never taken effect, and the updated Terms of Use will take effect (or will have taken effect) at the Update Effective Time.
- We may, at our discretion, suspend your access to or use of the JPlug Solution or any component thereof: (i) for scheduled maintenance; (ii) if you violate any provision of these Terms of Use; (iii) to address any emergency security concerns; (iv) to modify the JPlug Solution; or (v) if required to do so or permitted by applicable law. You may need to update third party software from time to time, at your sole cost and expense, in order to use the JPlug Solution.

Fees and Payment
- Unless otherwise indicated on the EVCS, each time you charge your vehicle at an EVCS utilizing the JPlug Solution (each, a “Charging Session”) you will be required to pay usage fees to the Site Host that owns, operates or otherwise controls the EVCS Location (“EVCS Usage Fees”). The EVCS Usage Fees will include any and all excise, sales, use, value-added or other applicable taxes. The EVCS Usage Fees will be calculated using the usage rate determined by the applicable Site Host or JPlug and will be displayed in the JPlug Solution. If required by the applicable Reseller or Site Host, you may also be required to pay an access fee the amount of which will be set out in the JPlug Solution (an “Access Fee”, and together with the EVCS Usage Fees, the “Fees”) for your access to an EVCS Location. You acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise set out in an applicable Reseller Agreement or Site Host Agreement, JPlug will collect your payment of the Fees on behalf of the Site Host and remit such payment (less any amounts owing by the Site Host to JPlug) to the Site Host (collectively, the “Payment Processing Services”).
- YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) THE FEES ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE SITE HOST; (II) EVCS USAGE FEES MAY VARY BASED ON THE APPLICABLE SITE HOST OR THE APPLICABLE EVCS LOCATION; AND (III) A SITE HOST MAY, IN ITS DISCRETION, CHANGE EITHER OR BOTH OF: (A) THE EVCS USAGE FEES; AND (B) THE ACCESS FEE. IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO REMAIN INFORMED ABOUT THE CURRENT FEES FOR THE EVCS YOU USE BEFORE STARTING A CHARGING SESSION. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JPLUG HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THE FEES. YOU HEREBY REMISE, RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE JPLUG AND THE JPLUG PARTIES OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS WHATSOEVER WHICH YOU EVER HAD, NOW HAVE OR MAY HEREAFTER HAVE, WHETHER AT COMMON LAW, IN EQUITY, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER NOW KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING FROM, IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN RESPECT OF THE FEES.
- At JPlug’s option and election and subject to Section 7(e), we may: (i) charge you the EVCS Usage Fees at the end of each Charging Session; or (ii) delay immediate processing of the charges for a particular Charging Session and later charge you the aggregate Fees you incurred in the immediately preceding 30-day period (the “Billing Cycle”). If we do not charge you at the end of each Charging Session, we may nonetheless process a pre-authorization for the amount of the Fees owing. All Fees payable by you will be set out in the JPlug Application and JPlug will prepare and send to you, at the then-current contact information that you have on file with us, an invoice for the total amount of Fees incurred in connection with each Charging Session. You agree to remit payment for all such Fees in accordance with the payment terms set out in this Section 7.
- All Fees paid by you to JPlug are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by JPlug. Unless otherwise itemized in the JPlug Application, the Fees include all applicable taxes. All EVCS Usage Fees will be in the currency identified in the JPlug Application for the applicable Fees.
- If JPlug is collecting your payment of the Fees, then you will provide JPlug or, if applicable, a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) with the information necessary to process a payment from you, including the billing information requested on the JPlug Solution or the applicable Payment Processor’s platform. The processing of payments and your relationship with the Payment Processor will be subject to the terms, conditions, practices and privacy policies of the Payment Processor, if any, in addition to these Terms of Use, including https://stripe.com/legal/consumer and https://stripe.com/privacy where Stripe is the Payment Processor. We are not responsible for any error by, or other acts or omissions of, any Payment Processor. You may pay for each Charging Session by credit card or any other manner then available on the JPlug Solution or applicable Payment Processor’s platform. By submitting your payment information to us or the Payment Processor, you authorize us or the Payment Processor to charge the applicable payment method at our or their convenience, or as provided in the applicable payment network rules, including multiple attempts to charge the applicable payment method where prior charging attempts are unsuccessful. You represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other form of payment, unless you have all necessary authorization to do so. We and any Payment Processor are not liable in the event persons acting with or without your permission use your credit card or other method of payment to make purchases on or through the JPlug Solution or the Payment Processor’s platform. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that any Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment. We reserve the right to remove or block any payment methods where such payment method has been repeatedly declined.
- If JPlug is collecting your payment of the Fees, you must provide current, complete and accurate information for any billing relating to your Account. You must promptly update all information to keep the billing information relating to your Account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify us if your payment method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft). Changes to such information can be made in your Account settings through the JPlug Solution. If you fail to provide any of the foregoing information, you agree that we reserve the right to suspend your access to the JPlug Solution until all due amounts are paid in full and terminate your Account and these Terms of Use.
- JPlug may terminate these Terms of Use and your access to the JPlug Solution if you fail to pay any Fees or other amounts payable to JPlug by the date such payment becomes due.

The following Sections, together with any other provision of these Terms of Use which expressly or by its nature survives termination or expiration, or which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of these Terms of Use, will survive expiration or termination of these Terms of Use for any reason: Sections 4 (User Data and Privacy), 7 (Fees and Payment), 8 (License to and Ownership of the JPlug Solution), 10 (Feedback), 11 (Malicious Code and Security), 12 (Disclaimer), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), 15(b) (Term and Termination; Survival), and 16 (General Provisions).
General Provisions
- Choice of Law. Except as prohibited or restricted by applicable law, these Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of: (i) the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein in the case of a User using the JPlug Solution in Canada; or (ii) the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America applicable therein in the case of a User using the JPlug Solution in the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law and such laws apply to your access to or use of the JPlug Solution, notwithstanding your domicile, residency or physical location. You will only use the JPlug Solution in jurisdictions where the JPlug Solution may lawfully be used. Except as prohibited or restricted by applicable law, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in: (ii) Ottawa, Ontario in the case of a User using the JPlug Solution in Canada; or (ii) New Castle County, Delaware in the case of a User using the JPlug Solution in the United States, in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the JPlug Solution. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms of Use. This choice of jurisdiction does not prevent us from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations in any appropriate jurisdiction.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and us with respect to the JPlug Solution.
- Waiver. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. A waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use must be in writing and a waiver in one instance will not preclude enforcement of such provision on other occasions.
- Severable. These Terms of Use apply to the extent permitted by applicable law and unless restricted or prohibited by applicable law. If any of the provisions contained in these Terms of Use are determined to be void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be severed from these Terms of Use and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
- Assignment. You will not assign these Terms of Use to any third party without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms of Use or any rights under these Terms of Use to any third party without your consent. Any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. These Terms of Use will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their permitted successors and permitted assignees.
- English Language. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms of Use and all related documents be drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.
- Construction. The terms “include” and “including” mean, respectively, “include without limitation” and “including without limitation.” The headings of sections of these Terms of Use are for reference purposes only and have no substantive effect. The terms “consent” or “discretion” mean the right of a party to withhold such consent or exercise such discretion, as applicable, arbitrarily and without any implied obligation to act reasonably or explain its decision to the other party.
