SECTION A – GENERAL TERMS
1. THESE TERMS ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN KOSOVO
These Terms are only applicable to our Services in Kosovo. Should you wish to access and use our charging infrastructure and associated services outside of Kosovo separate terms and conditions are applicable.
​
Please see our Website for further details.
​
2. OTHER TERMS MAY APPLY
By entering into these Terms you are also agreeing to comply with the provisions of third party terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Services (please see Paragraph 14 of Section B Third Party Terms) and updates made to these Terms in the future (please see Paragraph 15 of Section A Changes to these Terms).
​
3. OUR CHARGING NETWORK
Our charging services enable you to recharge your vehicle using the charging stations that we own and/or operate (the ECHARGE Charging Stations) and in some circumstances using charging stations owned and/or operated by third parties (Third Party Charging Stations) (together the Charging Stations and all the Charging Stations together forming the Network).
A list of the ECHARGE Charging Stations and Third Party Charging Stations forming the Network is updated regularly and can be viewed via the App or the Portal.
The use of our Services relies on third party communications and mobile data networks and you agree that there may be circumstances where the App, the Portal and/or the Services are unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control.
We may modify, restrict access to, or suspend the Services available on the Network at any time where it is reasonably necessary for our internal business operations, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or where this is due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control.
Your use of our Services does not constitute a supply of electricity to a premises. The Services offered by ECHARGE are strictly limited to recharging service of your vehicles and in no form should be understood and/or perceived as direct sale of electricity.
Where using Third Party Charging Stations you must comply with signage and safety instructions as notified to you from time to time by the owner and/or operator. Except as expressly set out in these Terms, we are not responsible for your use of Third Party Charging Stations.
4. RECHARGING YOUR VEHICLE AT CHARGING STATIONS
When using the Charging Stations you acknowledge and agree that:
-
you will act in a safe manner and comply with all signage, safety and usage instructions displayed at the Charging Station, in the App and/or in the Portal when using the charging services;
-
where charging cables are not provided at a Charging Station you will be responsible for providing charging cable(s) to connect your vehicle to the Charging Station. You will only use charging cables of a standard and quality not less than those recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer and will not use any cables which are damaged, faulty or modified in any way;
-
it is your responsibility to ensure that, when you use our charging services, you physically disconnect your vehicle from the Charging Station correctly after charging is complete;
-
if you have used a charging cable provided at the Charging Station you must ensure it is stored safely once you have finished using it; and
-
you will vacate the Charging Station promptly when your vehicle is not on charge.
5. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO NOT GUARANTEE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO CHARGE YOUR VEHICLE
Charging an electric vehicle is dependent on several factors, including (but not limited to) the technical specifications of the electric vehicle in question, the battery charge level and capacity and the charging station itself. Such factors will have an effect on the charging of any electric vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that we make no guarantee regarding the amount of time required to charge an electric vehicle using our Services.
6. PAYMENT FOR RECHARGING YOUR VEHICLE AT CHARGING STATIONS
Our electric vehicle charging service enables you to recharge your vehicle with electricity from the Network using the Charging Stations. To use this service you must:
-
request authorization for a charging session (which we may accept at our sole discretion); and
-
where applicable, pay for the charging session.
You may pay for your use of our Charging Stations:
-
using the payment methods listed on the selected Charging Station (where the relevant Charging Station allows for direct card payments) or using an authorised credit or debit card via the App or the Portal (a Pay-As-You-Go User); or
-
using an authorised credit or debit card that has been uploaded on your Account (a Registered Card) via the App or the Portal or a Charge Card, see Section B of these Terms for further details.
Approval of your request to purchase electricity from us is at our sole discretion. We may refuse to authorise a purchase if any of the following applies:
-
we reasonably suspect fraud or illegal activity;
-
you’ve reported your payment card as lost or stolen;
-
we reasonably consider this is necessary to protect the security of your Account;
-
because allowing you to use our Services means we may break a law, regulation, code or other duty that applies to us, or could expose us to action or criticism from any government, regulator or law-enforcement organisation;
-
you have not made any payment that is owed to us in full by the date due; or
-
we cannot reasonably meet your request.
Your request will lapse if electricity does not start being dispensed from the selected Charging Station within a “time out period” that starts when the selected Charging Station’s display screen and/or lamps indicates it is ready to start charging and ends at a time determined by us, from time to time (the Time Out Period).
You may cancel your request for any reason up until the point at which you connect the charging cable to your vehicle at the selected Charging Station.
7. CONTACTLESS PAYMENT
When using our electric vehicle charging service at Charging Stations on the Network you may be able to use a contactless payment method to make payment. When we refer to a contactless payment card, we are referring to a debit card, credit card, prepaid card, charge card, sticker, smart phone, smart watch or other card or device that is used to transmit contactless payment information to or from a payment account (such as a credit card account, current account, electric money account or digital wallet).
Contactless payment cards are not currently accepted at all Charging Stations across our Network so you should make sure that you check whether they are accepted at the Charging Station you wish to use.
It is also your responsibility to check the price of our Services at the Charging Station before you begin charging your electric vehicle. Please see Paragraph 11 for information on pricing when using the Network.
To use a contactless payment card, you must touch it on the card reader at the selected Charging Station at the start and end of each time you use our electric vehicle charging service.
To pay the correct amount for the charge, you must always touch in and out using the same contactless payment card.
When you touch your contactless payment card on a card reader on the Charging Station, you are giving authorisation for the cost of your use of our Services to be charged to your payment account.
Before charging your electric vehicle, a pre-authorisation hold against your payment account will be made in accordance with Paragraph 9.
After you have finished charging your electric vehicle we will charge you for using our electric vehicle charging service. The amount charged to your payment account will be calculated based on the amount of electricity you have used and the applicable price for the Charging Station you have used, as well as any applicable additional fees. Please see Paragraph 11 for information on pricing when using the Network.
If you would like any further information about where you can use contactless payment cards on the Network or you experience any problems when using contactless payment cards, please contact us using Our Contact Details.
8. HOW OUR PAYMENT SERVICE PROVIDER WILL PROCESS YOUR CARD DETAILS
Your payment card details will be processed by us (including on our Portal or App) solely for the purpose of sharing these with our third party payment provider. Only the last four digits of your payment card details will be seen by our personnel or, where applicable for App users, the App Store or Google Play.
If you use an authorized debit or credit card to pay for Services (or add these details to your Account), such details are collected, stored and processed by our payment services provider (our Payment Services Provider), who processes your purchases.
​
9. WE MAY PLACE A HOLD ON YOUR PAYMENT CARD
For fraud prevention purposes, you authorize us (or our Payment Services Provider) to place a pre-authorization hold against your credit card or against your bank account (for debit cards):
-
of up to €30.00 (including VAT) each time you use a payment card to purchase electricity from a Charging Station (a Pre-Purchase Hold); or
-
of an amount equivalent up to €1.00, each time you load a new debit or credit card as a Registered Card to your Account (a Pre-Authorisation Hold);
If a Pre-Authorisation Hold or a Pre-Purchase Hold is not granted by your bank or credit card provider for any reason, for example, if the relevant account does not have the funds necessary for the Pre-Authorisation Hold or the Pre-Purchase Hold, you will not be able to proceed with the purchase of electricity or card registration on your Account (as applicable).
Your bank or credit card provider should remove a Pre-Purchase Hold or Pre-Authorisation Hold promptly following the purchase of electricity or your payment card being added as a Registered Card (as applicable), although this could take two to three business days. Please contact your bank or credit card provider if you have any questions regarding the release of a Pre-Purchase Hold or Pre-Authorization Hold.
​
Once your charging session has ended, the Pre-Purchase Hold will be adjusted to reflect the total cost of the purchased electricity and you will receive a transaction summary.
A Pre-Purchase Hold will be made each time you authorise payment using a payment card. In some cases, this may result in multiple Pre-Purchase Holds – for example, if you authorise a payment and this “times out” before you take your recharge, a Pre-Purchase Hold will have been taken against your payment card. If you then authorise another payment to purchase recharge, another Pre-Purchase Hold will be taken against your payment card. We will not be responsible if, by having multiple Pre-Purchase Holds, your bank declines a transaction due to insufficient funds.
10. USING A CHARGE CARD FOR PAYMENT
Your use of your Charge Card to purchase recharge will be in accordance with Section C of these Terms.
If you register your Charge Card for use with the Services, you must keep the physical Charge Card issued to you.
For charging sessions purchased using your Charge Card, a transaction summary will be available to view in your Account.
11. PRICE FOR CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE AND OTHER CHARGES
The price for our vehicle charging services may vary according to whether you use our vehicle charging services as a registered user and request and select vehicle charging services using the App and/or Portal (see Section B of these Terms) or as a Pay-As-You-Go User.
For Pay-As-You-Go Users, the price for our vehicle charging services will be:
-
where a Pay-As-You-Go User pays via a direct card payment at a Charging Station that allows for direct card payments, the price shown on the relevant Charging Station at the time your charging session starts; or
-
where a Pay-As-You-Go User pays via the App or Portal, the price that is displayed on the App or Portal at the time your charging session starts.
When registered users request and select vehicle charging services using the App and/or Portal and pay using a Registered Card, the price for our charging services will be the price shown in the App and/or the Portal at the time the charging session starts. For registered users, or Pay-As-You-Go Users who pay via the App or Portal, any pricing that appears on the Charging Station is not relevant to use of our Services – the price for using our charging services on the Network, including use of Third Party Charging Stations, will be the price listed on the App and/or the Portal.
Please note that prices shown on Charging Stations and/or displayed in the App and/or the Portal will change from time to time and from Charging Station to Charging Station without prior notice.
If the price is not clearly shown on a Charging Stations and/or in the App and/or the Portal, or if you require any help with applicable pricing, please do contact us using Our Contact Details and we will be happy to help.
We may charge you a fee if your vehicle occupies a Charging Station when the vehicle is not being charged. Details of applicable charges and when these may be charged will be shown on the Charging Station and will be listed in the App and/or the Portal.
All prices shown on Charging Stations and quoted on our App and/or the Portal are inclusive of VAT.
12. IF YOU ENCOUNTER AN ISSUE WITH THE SERVICES
If a defect with Services or any Charging Station comes to your attention, you should contact us as soon as possible to allow us a reasonable opportunity to repair or fix the defect.
Where you are using a Third Party Charging Station you may also be required to contact the third-party provider of that charging station.
You acknowledge that we do not guarantee the working order or suitability of any Charging Station and/or our Services at any given time (including the suitability of any Charging Station and/or our Services for your vehicle). Due to the nature of electrical charging services, we cannot guarantee a continuous, fault-free service. Charging Stations may be impaired by too many users trying to use a particular Charging Station within any period of time, electrical faults, and other factors or conditions. The Charging Stations may fail or require maintenance without notice.
13. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you use our Services, we will process your personal information. Our Privacy Policy sets out the ways in which we will collect, store and process data relating to your use of our Services (including the App, the Portal, and the Charge Card) and include details of your rights to access and request correction of any of your personal information that we hold.

15. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may amend these Terms from time to time and will notify you of any changes by publishing an updated version in the App, the Portal and/or the Website. We will provide you with no less than 14 days notice of any changes unless we reasonably believe that the change is not to your disadvantage, in which case we may give you less notice. Please check the terms published in the App, the Portal and/or the Website periodically for changes.
Examples of reasons why we would need to make changes to these Terms include:
-
to reflect updates to the functionality, security, options of the Services, the App, the Portal and/or the Charge Card;
-
to reflect reasonable changes to the way we run our business because of a change in the electricity or automotive charging industries, in technology, or in the systems we use; or

to reflect legal or regulatory requirements that apply to us.
Your continued use of the Services, the App, the Portal and/or the Charge Card will confirm your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms you may not be permitted to continue to use our Services.
As these Terms have no fixed end date, we may from time to time need to make changes for reasons not set out here. As long as you can end your agreement to these Terms without charge, we may make changes to these Terms for reasons that are not set out here.
If you want to end your agreement to these Terms because of one of the changes we make, you can do this without charge by contacting us using Our Contact Details.

You must also comply with all applicable laws when using the App, the Portal, the Charge Card and/or the Services.
17. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL
If we don’t meet our obligations under this agreement due to events outside of our control – such as failure of a Charging Station (including a communications failure, any failure of electricity supply to the Charging Stations, or events arising from the actions of the third party owner, operator, or electricity supplier), industrial disputes or because we have to comply with a relevant law – we won’t be responsible for any losses and costs caused to you.
Where such an event affects our performance of the Services to you, we will restart the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event is over.

If you are a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to the Services. We must ensure that:

You may have the right to ask us to repeat or fix the Services or for a price reduction or a refund.
19. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Our Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and it is your responsibility to ensure that they meet your requirements.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties and conditions whether express, implied or statutory with respect to the provision of the Services are excluded.
Except for any legal responsibility that we cannot exclude in law (such as for death or personal injury) or arising under applicable laws relating to the protection of your personal information, we will not be legally responsible for any loss or damage you suffer arising from:
-
you selecting the incorrect Charging Station as your selected Charging Station;
-
your use of a charging cable not provided by us;
-
your use of a charging cable which is of a standard and quality less than that recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer;
-
your use of a Charging Station and/or vehicle otherwise than in accordance with all applicable laws, health and safety and usage instructions (including those of your vehicle’s manufacturer);
-
any damage or alteration to your equipment, including your mobile device or your vehicle as a result of use of the Services;
-
suspension or loss of access to the Services; or
-
any Charging Station (including any selected Charging Station) being occupied, out of service or unavailable for any reason outside of our reasonable control, for example a third-party blocking a Charging Station.
If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during your registration or application process (as applicable).
The paragraphs above set out our liability when supplying the Services for domestic/personal use. In the event that you use the Services for commercial or business purposes then, in addition to those paragraphs:
-
our aggregate liability to you under these Terms shall not exceed thirty euros (€30.00); and
-
we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
20. YOUR LIABILITY TO US

21. WE MAY TRANSFER THESE TERMS TO SOMEONE ELSE
You agree that we may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organization. We will always notify you if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these Terms. You may transfer your rights and obligations under these Terms with our prior written agreement. We may not agree to a proposed transfer without reasonable evidence that our rights and obligations under these Terms will not be affected.
22. NO RIGHTS FOR THIRD PARTIES
These Terms form a contract between you and us and these Terms do not give rise to any rights under the LAW ON OBLIGATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS for third parties to enforce any of these Terms.
23. IF A COURT FINDS PART OF THESE TERMS ILLEGAL, THE REST WILL CONTINUE IN FORCE
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
24. EVEN IF WE DELAY IN ENFORCING THESE TERMS, WE CAN STILL ENFORCE THEM LATER
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
25. THESE TERMS ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Kosovo.

infringe our intellectual property rights or those of any third-party in relation to your use of the App and/or the Portal, including by uploading any material to the App and/or the Portal (to the extent that such use is not licensed by these Terms); or
-
do anything we reasonably consider to be disreputable or capable of damaging our reputation, including that of the App, the Portal and/or the Website or the Services.
11. HOW WE KEEP YOUR DATA SECURE
We will enforce or implement any security measures we consider appropriate for the App, the Portal and/or the Website and may update and add security measures to the App, the Portal and/or the Website at our discretion.
Security of your use of the App, the Portal and/or the Website is important to us. We will take reasonable steps in accordance with applicable laws to prevent any bugs, viruses, trojans, or the like from affecting the App, the Portal, the Website and/or the Services. However, we cannot guarantee that the App, the Portal and/or the Website will always be available, fault-free and secure or that it will be free from viruses or other harmful programs.
​
Please be aware that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure and that any message or information you send using the App and/or the Portal may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission is encrypted.
12. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP YOUR INFORMATION UP TO DATE AND SECURE
To use some of the Services from your Account, we will ask you for information including your name, email address and payment credentials. You must provide accurate and complete information in response to these questions and keep the information up to date.
If you use the Pay for Recharge Service (or any additional Services that we add to the App, the Portal and/or the Website that require additional security) you may be required to, or have the option to, create an additional passcode or password or use your mobile device’s touch ID functionality – for example, when you add a Registered Card for the Pay for Recharge Service.
Please be aware that any fingerprint activated for touch ID on your mobile device will be taken to be valid and you are responsible for any purchases made using any fingerprints stored on your mobile device.
You are responsible for ensuring that:
-
you are the only person who uses the App installed on your mobile device – you must not authorize anyone else to use the App installed on your mobile device;
-
you only use the App and/or the Portal on one mobile device at any time;
-
you keep secure your Charge Card and ensure that no unauthorized person can access or use it;
-
your Account password and passcode (if applicable) are kept secure – for example, you must not tell anyone else your password or passcode and your password or passcode must not be kept as a written or electronic record with or on your mobile device;
-
the information you have provided to us is updated if your details change – for example, it is essential that you update your email address if it changes in order to continue to use the Pay for Recharge Service; and
-
you are able to access any emails and communications that we correctly send to you using the details that you provide to us. It may be necessary for you to check your email “junk mail” folders and/or make changes to your email filter settings to ensure that our emails are received directly into your email inbox folder.
We are under no obligation to check that any instruction or confirmation made by you through the App and/or the Portal is from you.
You must notify us immediately using Our Contact Details (Account Suspension Notification), if the security of your mobile device and/or your Account information is compromised due to:
-
your mobile device being lost or stolen;
-
your Charge Card being lost or stolen;
-
your Account password and/or passcode (if applicable) becoming or likely to become known by another person; and/or
-
unauthorized access to your mobile device, Charge Card and/or your Account.
You acknowledge that we will not have any obligation to notify your Registered Card issuer of fraudulent or unauthorized charge activity or to take any action on your behalf. However, we may disclose your information where we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to protect the rights, property or safety of the App, the Portal, the Website, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
You will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions made from receipt of an Account Suspension Notification by us. We will not be liable for any transactions using your Account and/or your Charge Card until the receipt of an Account Suspension Notification by us. We are only liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your password and/or passcode (if applicable) secure in respect to any unauthorized transactions made following our receipt of an Account Suspension Notification from you.
