Terms of Use & Service

Version 2.0: February 2023

These Terms and Conditions form the basis of the agreement between Electric Miles Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) to provide smart charging or any other service to the User (“you”). They should be read alongside our privacy policy before you use any of our services.

The use of Services is only provided on the condition that you accept and comply with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who wish to access or use the Service.

Smart Charging
Electric Miles provides a set-it and forget-it approach to charging your electric car and wants you to get the charge delivered by the time you want it.

If you have selected the smart charging option in the Electric Miles smart charging mobile app, we will schedule charging of your electric car based on the parameters you set. The charging schedule will be calculated by us and can change depending on market conditions and the grid demand.

Fees
We provide our Basic service free of charge, and there are no Fees to be paid whilst using or accessing the Basic service.

We may develop other Premium services in the future for which we may charge a Fee. If we launch such Premium services, we will communicate with you regarding the Fee to provide you with the option to switch to the Premium service feature or retain the Basic service.

Use of service with other hardware
Our services may make use of, or access other companies’ devices such as vehicles, accessories and chargers etc. These integrations are provided on an “as-is” basis and may be limited in functionality because we do not control the access to these devices and can therefore not guarantee these services.

Consent to access your electric car and/or smart home devices
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you consent to allow us to access your electric car, charge point and/or any other connected device as required to deliver the service. Providing us with access enables us to read information from your devices, and send commands to your devices, to enable us to deliver our smart charging service to you.

This may include, but is not limited to, reading the current state of your battery (e.g., obtaining information on whether it is charging, discharging, connected, disconnected and the device’s current state of charge) and sending commands to control and regulate charging (e.g., start/stop charging and controlling the flow of energy through a device). There is no obligation on the customer to provide access to any device, but access to relevant devices may be necessary for us to deliver our smart charging service to you. You may terminate our access at any time, by using the app to remove access or contacting us. Data and information on your vehicle and/or smart home device will be processed as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

Accounts
When you create an account with us, you guarantee that you are above the age of 18 and the information you provide us is (to the best of your knowledge) accurate, complete and current at all times. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate termination of your account on the Service due to non-fulfilment of the above-mentioned term.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, including but not limited to the restriction of access to your computer/mobile/tablet and/or account. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities or actions that occur under your account and/or password, whether your password is with our Service or a third-party service. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

You may not use as a username any name that is offensive, vulgar or obscene.

Carbon Abatement

You agree to take all action reasonably necessary, including by providing access to the Products as may be needed, to affect the assignment or to provide for the creation and vesting of Carbon Credits, emissions reductions or related rights to us (or persons nominated by us), and not to take any action that would create a third party interest, ownership, encumbrance or other restriction in respect of such Carbon Credits, emission reductions, environmental attributes or related rights.
