Vehicle charge time and functionality notice
- Charge times for your electric vehicle are affected by many factors, including the capacity of your electric vehicle, the capacity of the electric vehicle charger, and the compatibility of the communication protocols used by each.
-
Certain chargers must be operated in a certain manner to ensure that:
- The vehicle can be connected to the charger;
- The vehicle can accept a charge from the charger;
- The vehicle can be disconnected from the charger (which may be locked during charging for safety reasons);
- The appropriate fee is billed to your account.
- You are responsible for reviewing and following all relevant instructions and directions in relation to your use of any connected electric vehicle charger and your electric vehicle, and without limiting any other part of the Terms of Use, Hwisel EV is not responsible for any damage that you cause to you, your vehicle, an electric vehicle charger, or to anyone else through use of our services. If you have any difficulties using a electric vehicle charger, you should contact us.
- Some electric vehicle chargers use certain safety and functional features to manage the charging of electric vehicles. Such features may include plug locks, plug ejection devices, plug shapes and sizes to enforce compatibility between the vehicle and the charger, electronic and software processes to enforce compatibility between the vehicle and charger, and other means to ensure safety and to initiate, conduct, and conclude a charge.
- Hwisel EV is not responsible for you taking any action that causes damage to the charger or an electric vehicle. Further, you must not use excessive force when plugging in a cable, unplugging the cable, or otherwise operating the charger. You indemnify Us and you will keep Us indemnified against all loss and damage caused or contributed by you during your use of any charger.
- Payment
You understand that the use of the Service may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from Us or a Third-Party Provider (“Charges”). After you have received services or goods obtained through your use of the Service, HWISEL EV will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of itself or the Third-Party Provider as such we are the Third Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third-Party Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by HWISEL EV. You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third-Party Provider for services or goods received by you from such Third Party Provider at the time you receive such services or goods. HWISEL EV will respond accordingly to any request from a Third-Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by HWISEL EV using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which HWISEL EV will provide you with a receipt. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that HWISEL EV may, as the Third-Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.
As between you and HWISEL EV, HWISEL EV reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Service at any time in HWISEL EV’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. HWISEL EV will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. HWISEL EV may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Service, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Service or the Charges applied to you. You may elect to cancel your request for services or goods from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to such Third Party Provider’s arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services or goods provided. Except with respect to the Service requested through the Application, HWISEL EV does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Third Party Provider. Any representation by HWISEL EV (on HWISEL EV’s website, in the Application, or in HWISEL EV’s marketing materials) to the effect that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” and/or “included” in the payments you make for services or goods provided is not intended to suggest that HWISEL EV provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the Third Party Provider. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third Party Provider who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through the Service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third Party Provider.

HWISEL EV reserves the right to change its price list and to institute new charges at any time after purchase, upon thirty (30) days prior to written notice to you by letter, e-mail, text message, bill message, or other communications.

You are responsible for all taxes applicable to the fees and charges in any applicable jurisdiction.
HWISEL EV reserve the right to approve you or require additional conditions (such as satisfactory credit checks) for the payment option you select.

Such license does not license any other Content to you, including Subscriber Content. If you wish to use your HWISEL API Implementation to display or deliver any Content provided to us by a Subscriber, you must obtain the prior agreement of that Subscriber to that use, by obtaining a license from the Subscriber, in terms of use governing the use by that Subscriber of your HWISEL API Implementation, for your use of that Content. This limited license is subject to the usage restrictions set forth in Section 6, and any further restrictions set out in your Terms of Use and privacy policy agreed to by the Subscriber. If you do not present Terms of Use and a privacy policy to our Subscribers upon their use of your HWISEL API Implementation, you may not use the HWISEL API.
Your use of the HWISEL API is also subject to the following restrictions. You may not:

- reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Service or any part thereof;
- circumvent or render ineffective any IP address-based functionality or restriction imposed by the Service;
- circumvent technological measures to prevent direct database access, nor manufacture tools or products to that effect;

You agree to carefully monitor your use of the HWISEL API and ensure that it remains within reasonable operational limits for both your own server capacity and ours. You acknowledge and agree that we may impose or adjust the limit on the number of transactions you may send or receive through the Service; such fixed upper limits may be set by us at any time, at our discretion.
HWISEL EV has no responsibility to any person for any use or misuse of any Content obtained through the HWISEL API. If you are a Subscriber, you should consider carefully whether you wish to give an API Developer access to your Content through the HWISEL API. If you wish to revoke access to your Content through the HWISEL API, you should change your HWISEL API key or revoke authorization of the HWISEL API Implementation to your Content. Please contact us at support@Hwisel.com if you want assistance doing this.
HWISEL EV may monitor your use of the HWISEL API for any reason, including but not limited to: quality assurance, the improvement of HWISEL EV products and services, and verification of your compliance with these Terms of Use. You shall not interfere with such monitoring or otherwise obscure from HWISEL EV any aspect of your use of the HWISEL API. You acknowledge that any use by us of your HWISEL API Implementation for such purpose will not constitute our agreement to any terms of use you purport to require us to comply with in such use.

- Content that, in the sole judgment of HWISEL EV, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Interactive Areas or the Service, or which may expose HWISEL EV or its affiliates or its users to any harm or liability of any type.
Finally, HWISEL EV has a “zero-tolerance” policy towards SPAM: you may not use the Interactive Areas or the Service generally to send commercial or other messages to any third-party if those messages are not solicited, authorized or welcomed by the third-party, and in your use of the Service you must comply with all applicable laws, including laws that apply in any jurisdiction to SPAM and marketing practices, and with any applicable marketing association guidelines on ethical marketing practices.

HWISEL EV reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in the Connected Bank Accounts Terms at any time and in its sole discretion, as described in the Terms of Use. All terms that are defined in the Terms of Use bear the same meaning in these Connected Bank Accounts Terms. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between the Terms of Use and the Connected Bank Accounts Terms, the Connected Bank Accounts Terms apply.
Third Party
Although it is made available through the Site, the Connected Accounts Service is provided by a third-party service provider (the “Third Party“). The Third Party requires the information that you provide when you connect accounts through the Connected Accounts Service, including the details of the financial institutions that you deal with and your financial user IDs and passwords, in order to provide the Connected Accounts Service. By providing the requested information and connecting an account, you consent to the disclosure of such information to the Third Party and the use of such information by the Third Party as necessary to provide the Connected Accounts Service. You agree to follow the Third Party’s standard operating procedures, including without limitation security procedures, with respect to your use of the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service.

All implied warranties, including without limitation for merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are excluded.
Limitation Of Liability
You also agree that the Third Party, as a provider of the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service, is entitled to the same liability restrictions and limitations as those to which HWISEL EV is entitled under the Terms of Use and the Connected Bank Accounts Terms. Neither HWISEL EV nor the Third Party shall be liable for any direct, special, indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or tort damages, or for any other damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of profits or loss of data, whether in an action in contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence) or otherwise, arising out of or in any way connected with the use of or inability to use the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service, including without limitation and damages caused by or resulting from your reliance on the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service or that result from mistakes, errors, omission, interruptions, deletion of files or email, defects, viruses, delays in operation or transmission or any failure of performance, whether or not resulting from acts of goods, communications failure, theft, destruction or unauthorized access to HWISEL EV’s or the Third Party’s records, programs or services.
In no event shall the aggregate liability of HWISEL EV and the Third Party, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), product liability, strict liability or other theory, arising out of or relating to the use of the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service exceed any compensation paid by you for access to or use of the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service during the three months prior to the date of any claim.
Threatening Conditions
If the Third Party reasonably believes that the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service, or your conduct or that of any User in using the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service (including without limitation a User intentionally initiating fraudulent or unauthorized access or payments, or violating any agreement under which it has been provided access to the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service), violates any applicable laws, rules, regulations or industry standards, or otherwise poses a threat to the Third Party, or to any of the systems, security, equipment, processes, intellectual property or reputation of HWISEL EV, the Third Party, or the Third Party’s Technician (a “Threatening Condition”), the Third Party will provide HWISEL EV with notice of the Threatening Condition, and HWISEL EV and the Third Party will use reasonable efforts to cure or cause the correction of the Threatening Condition. If, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Third Party, an imminent or actual Threatening Condition exists, the Third Party may suspend any and all use of the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service or the applicable portion thereof until such Threatening Condition is cured. The Third Party may terminate your use of the Credit Card and Bank Accounts Service without further requirement of notice if the Threatening Condition remains uncured more than thirty (30) calendar days after the Third Party notifies HWISEL EV of the Threatening Condition.
