You must not use on or introduce to the Software any form of destructive software such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, time bombs, cancelbots or other harmful components, files, programs or computer codes designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functioning of the Software. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Software or to an Eddie User Account, other computer systems or networks connected to the Software by password extraction or other means; interfere with or disrupt networks or servers connected to the Software or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks; and use, download or otherwise copy, or provide to a person or entity, the Eddie User directory or other Eddie User information (including participants), or data on the use or any portion thereof for purposes other than those intended for the Software.

6. Minimum System Requirements

Access to certain package(s), features, functionalities and add-ons related to the Software can only be made through an Internet network and requires a prior connection to said network. The installation, operation, execution, performance and use of and access to certain package(s), features, functionalities and add-ons related to the Software require certain information technology infrastructure, including equipment, computers, servers and software. You are solely responsible for acquiring, servicing, maintaining and updating all information technology infrastructure and equipment, including your mobile device, servers, software and communications services (such as Internet access) (collectively, “System”) that are required to allow an Eddie User to install, operate, execute, perform, access and use the Software and for all expenses relating thereto (“Minimum System Requirements”). System and Minimum System Requirements for the Software are subject to change by AXSO (in AXSO’s sole discretion) without prior notice. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your System meets Minimum System Requirements.

7. Deposits for Charging Services

Before you can access the Charging Services through your Eddie User Account, you must deposit a minimum of $10 to your Eddie User Account through the Software. You must use an accepted credit card to deposit funds to your Eddie User Account. Currently Visa®, Mastercard®, and AMEX® credit cards are accepted. Prior to charging your credit card, an authorization process will occur for the amount of your transaction. AXSO uses a third-party payment processor (currently Stripe Payments Canada, Ltd.) to securely process credit card transactions, including deposits to your Eddie User Account. All Eddie User Account deposits received by AXSO are placed in a segregated account. The deposits to your Eddie User Account do not earn, and AXSO will not pay, interest. You may request reimbursement of the balance in your Eddie User Account by contacting Eddie customer service at support@eddie.eco. No deposits to your Eddie User Account are required to access Charging Stations that are free-of-charge or to access the Charging Services as an Eddie Guest.

8. Payment for Charging Services

You can pay for Charging Services on the Eddie Network via the Software. In some cases, you may also be able to pay for Charging Services on the Networks directly with a credit card, with a radio frequency identification card, or through a mobile application made available to you by a Roaming Network that allows you to use and pay for Charging Services simply by connecting the charging cable to your electric vehicle. Such alternative payment methods may be subject to their own terms and conditions, which AXSO does not control and for which AXSO does not bear any responsibility. We encourage you to read any such terms and conditions before using such payment methods.

If you pay for Charging Services using your Eddie User Account, your Eddie User Account will be debited the cost of the Charging Fees plus applicable Taxes after each Charging Session. If for whatever reason Charging Fees cannot be processed at the time of charging, charging information will be saved and your Eddie User Account will be debited those costs at a later time (note that this may result in charges appearing in your transaction history on a different date than the date on which you used the Charging Services). If the default credit card used to pay for Charging Services expires, AXSO may select another credit card saved to your Eddie User Account as the new default payment method. The balance of your Eddie User Account may become negative after a Charging Session, and you will need to replenish your Eddie User Account to cover any such negative balance. You will not be able to use the Charging Services while you have a negative balance in your Eddie User Account. You agree that AXSO may charge you for any negative balance in your Eddie User Account when you update your payment information.

Eddie Guest need to pre-authorize payment prior to accessing and using the Charging Services. Paying for Charging Services with a credit card as an Eddie Guest will result in a $100.00 pre-authorization debit on your credit card. After each Charging Session, your credit card will be debited only for the actual cost of the Charging Fees, plus applicable Taxes and a $2.00 transaction fee. To pay for Charging Services with a credit card as an Eddie Guest, you must have a valid credit card. If your credit card is rejected for any reason, you will not be able to access the Charging Services.

If you have questions regarding your transaction history or any correction thereto, or if you wish to dispute any transaction or correction that has been applied to your Eddie User Account, please contact Eddie customer service at support@eddie.eco within thirty (30) calendar days of the transaction in question. Assuming you provide sufficient details, AXSO will review your claim and respond with its findings. If AXSO finds a billing error, AXSO will correct the error after completing its review of such claim. If you are an Eddie User, any reimbursements by AXSO for billing errors will be made in the form of a deposit to your Eddie User Account; AXSO will not make reimbursements to credit cards or issue cheques. If you used the Charging Services as an Eddie Guest, any reimbursements by AXSO for billing errors will be made in the form of a credit on the credit card you used to pay for the Charging Services. AXSO will not be responsible for any expenses incurred or direct or indirect damages resulting from billing errors. If AXSO does not find a billing error, AXSO will explain its findings. AXSO will not review or correct any billing error submitted by an Eddie User or Eddie Guest more than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the transaction.

Should you fail to replenish a negative balance in your Eddie User Account, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, AXSO may close your Eddie User Account and terminate your access and right to use the Networks. AXSO may also decline to open a new Eddie User Account for you in the future.

9. Charging Station Location and Availability

For the convenience of Eddie Users and Eddie Guests, AXSO provides a map of available Charging Stations on the Networks via the Software. This information is provided for informational, personal and non-commercial purposes only, and, while AXSO uses commercially reasonable efforts to keep the mapping information accurate, complete and up-to-date, AXSO cannot and does not warrant that it is error-free AXSO assumes no direct or indirect liability in the event that actual Charging Station availability and/or terms of use differ from the information provided on the map in the Software.

10. Fees

Charging Fees are set by Charging Station owners, at their sole discretion and in accordance with applicable law. Charging Stations may display applicable Charging Fees in different ways. Charging Fees are also posted on the Charging Station map available on the Software; in the event of a conflict, the pricing posted at the Charging Station prevails over any pricing shown on the Charging Station map. Note that Taxes may be payable on Charging Fees.

For Charging Stations on the Eddie Network, Charging Fees may be billed at a fixed rate or by energy consumed. When the Charging Fee is a fixed rate, the Charging Session will be billed at the fixed rate, no matter how much energy your electric vehicle draws from the Charging Station. When the Charging Fees are energy-based, the Charging Session is billed based on the quantity of energy your electric vehicle draws from the Charging Station. Quantity of energy transferred is calculated at the Charging Station level. Calculations reported by your electric vehicle may differ from the Charging Fees determined by the applicable Charging Station; in the event of a discrepancy, the calculation determined by the applicable Charging Station will prevail.

To the extent that the Charging Stations are reserved for private access only (i.e. where access to such Charging Stations by the general public is restricted, such as in the case of Charging Stations reserved for residents of a multi-unit residential building), depending on the payment option selected by the Equipment Operator, you may be charged a fixed monthly subscription fee of $13.95 plus applicable Taxes by AXSO for use of the Charging Station, in addition to any Charging Fees you may incur while accessing and using the Charging Services. For greater clarity, there is no cost to create or use an Eddie Account.

Charges, including Charging Fees and the monthly subscription fee referred to above, may be processed through your Eddie Account by AXSO on behalf of third parties, when an Eddie User enters into separate transactions for Charging Services with third-party Equipment Operators.

For Charging Stations on Roaming Networks, Charging Fees will be based on the rules of the Roaming Network. It is your responsibility to confirm any Charging Fees in advance of starting a Charging Session on a Roaming Network.

Any additional fees associated with accessing and using the Networks (e.g., cellular data fees incurred for use of a smart phone, idle fees, currency conversion fees, roaming fees, or parking fees/tickets where applicable) are your sole responsibility.

11. Charging Sessions

Any Eddie Guest or Eddie User with a valid Eddie User Account containing a positive balance of any amount may use the Charging Services at any Charging Station available to such Eddie User on the Eddie Network. To activate a Charging Station that is on the Eddie Network, you must use your smart phone or RFID card to find the Charging Station though the Software and follow the instructions provided to start the activation process, or, if applicable, tap the access card provided to you by an Equipment Operator on the designated area on the Charging Station.

You are responsible for reviewing and follow any safety instructions posted on or around the Charging Station and visually inspecting the Charging Station for any visible damage prior to starting a Charging Session. If you see any damage, please call the support number indicated on the Charging Station or follow the procedure described in the Software to confirm whether the Charging Station is safe to use prior to commencing a Charging Session.

Note that these Driver Terms of Use provide for important limitations on AXSO’s liability for any damage caused while using a Charging Station on the Networks.

12. Transaction Receipt

After each Charging Session, you will receive a receipt of the transaction on the Software and/or at the e-mail address specified in your Eddie User Account.

13. Obligations of Eddie Users and Eddie Guests

You agree not to make your Eddie User Account or any access card provided to you to obtain the Charging Services available to any third person. AXSO assumes no direct or indirect liability for any use of a Charging Station by a third person using your Eddie User Account. You must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules related to the Charging Stations and/or the property on which the Charging Stations are located, including any membership provisions and pricing arrangements required by an Equipment Operator. You are solely responsible for any damage that you or a third party using your Eddie User Account cause to a Charging Station or the area in which it is located and you must immediately inform Eddie customer service in writing of any such damage at support@eddie.eco, including by providing to Eddie customer service the location, Charging Station number, type of damage caused and, if available, a photo of the damage. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR ANY SITUATION THAT COULD THREATEN HUMAN LIFE OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS OR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, YOU MUST CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO YOU.

You represent that you are at least eighteen years of age and have a valid driver’s license. If you are not the owner of the electric vehicle for which you are obtaining Charging Services, you represent that you have obtained valid authorization from the owner of the electric vehicle to use the Charging Station. You represent that all information in your Eddie User Account is accurate and up-to-date and agree to take all steps necessary to update your Eddie User Account information within a reasonable time if the information changes. If you are an Eddie Guest, you represent that all information you provide via the Eddie Mobile Application is accurate and up-to-date.

You agree not to tamper with or otherwise make any modification to any Charging Station or to the charging system of your electric vehicle. You agree not to perpetuate any fraud or engage in any unlawful action against AXSO or its affiliates in relation to the Charging Stations or the Networks. Should AXSO discover that you have engaged in any such action in breach of these Driver Terms of Use, in addition to any other remedies available in these Driver Terms of Use or at law or in equity, AXSO reserves the right to contact local authorities and to calculate and deduct any amount owing from your Eddie User Account or, if you are an Eddie Guest, the credit card you used to start a Charging Station. .

You may terminate your agreement with AXSO under these Driver Terms of Use by cancelling your Eddie User Account at any time, without any fees or penalty other than as provided herein, including replenishing any negative balance in the Eddie User Account, using the “Delete my account” feature available in your user profile in the Software.

Upon any such termination, the provisions of these Driver Terms of Use shall continue to apply to any and all activities that took place hereunder, including without limitation the provisions included in Sections 19, 21 and 22.
