Charge 2 Go Terms and Conditions
Date: 16 Jun 2022
Net Zero Energy Ventures Pty Ltd trading as Charge 2 Go is driven to make the ownership of electric vehicles a great experience for everyone. We are interested in creating a supportive and dedicated community of EV owners that will drive a broader acceptance of the capability and value of owning an EV.
1. Our Values
When using the Charge 2 Go service, we ask that all Users abide by a common set of standards and principles which will make the experience pleasant one for everyone.
We require all our Platform Users to:
• comply with all applicable laws• not use the Platform to cause a nuisance or make fake bookings• use the Platform only for its intended purpose• not cause any nuisance or damage, and not behave inappropriately• leave only useful and informative reviews about the facilities, Hosts or Users (do not make it personal)
2. Platform Service (“Service”)
Charge 2 Go offers the following Service:
• Allow the owner of an EV charging supply (Host) to list the location, facilities, price, EV charging unit type, availability (time, operational), photos, and other locational features that promote the usage of the charging facility.• Allows the owner of an EV (EV User) to locate via the listing or mapping capability of the app or website a suitable location, time and price to use the Service.• Allows a booking between Host and EV User to occur via the app with confirmation of booking details and payment transaction to occur once the transaction is confirmed by both parties.
When your booking is made with Charge 2 Go, Charge 2 Go is responsible for the Platform Service and its operations – not the experience. Users – Hosts and EV Users, are responsible for the overall experience. The Platform does not recommend or endorse a particular Host or User. All Users can leave reviews of their experience.
As a Host, you are permitted to list your EV charger only if you are the rightful owner of the charging facility, or you are authorised to act on behalf of the rightful owner. It is the responsibility of the Host to ensure all details about the Service are accurate at any point time and that the service is available.
We take reasonable care in providing our Platform, but it is possible that sometimes the information on it is not accurate (information from the Hosts is uploaded by the Hosts). We can’t be held responsible for any errors, any interruptions, or any missing bits of information provided by Users – although we will do everything we can to correct/fix them as soon as we can.
To make a booking, you will need to create an Account as the payments made between the Host and EV User are managed via the Platform.
Please make sure all your info (including payment and contact details) is correct and up to date, or you might find that payments are delayed or cannot be made. You are responsible for anything that happens with your Account, so please don’t let anyone else use it, and please keep your username and password secret.
Only Hosts with available chargers and timing slots will be shown on the Platform for the required location.
We may, without prior notice, change the Service; stop providing the Service or features of the Service, to you or to users generally; or create usage limits for the Service. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Company shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction.
The Service is provided on an as available basis. The Service may from time to time not be available at a particular time or location.
3. Pricing
When you make a booking, you agree to pay the Host the cost of the service agreed at the time of making the booking.
All listing prices are in $/hr.
The energy price calculator is provided solely for the purpose of understanding the approximate value of the charging service to the Host based on the assumptions provided by the Host. The energy price calculator requires the user to input assumptions of electricity costs in $/kWh, profit assumptions in $/kWh and estimate utilisation of the EV charger in hours/week and provides guidance of a reasonable listing price in $/hr and estimated annual profit in $. Charge 2 Go does not guarantee that such an annual profit will be achieved by the Host.
Charge 2 Go transactions fees are deducted from the Host and is structured as a % of earnings or minimum amount, whichever is greater per transaction.
4. Payment Process
Payments occur directly between the Host and the EV User and are in Australian Dollars (AUD). This payment is managed by a third-party payment provider who charges payment fees directly to Charge 2 Go and is recovered through our transaction fees from the Host.
The Host and User will be required to provide their bank details for the transaction to take place. If no bank details are provided, then transaction cannot take place on the Platform.
All User bank accounts must be held in Australia.

6. Transaction Process
The following steps occur in a paid transaction processed through Charge 2 Go via Stripe:
• The EV User opens the listing page, selects options (dates with an end date of up to 85 days from now), and clicks on the "Book" button.• The EV User reviews the details of the purchase and inputs their credit card details. The payment happens immediately.• Once the payment is made, the EV User is taken to a page that displays the transaction details. They are told that the Host needs to accept the transaction before the money is transferred.• The Host gets an email notification of a new transaction that needs to be accepted. If the transaction is not accepted within 3 days or before the end date (whichever comes first), the transaction is cancelled, and no money is transferred. Once accepted, the money is captured from the buyer's card, and funds are put on hold. Both parties get a receipt of the transaction via email.• Charge 2 Go receives a commission for the service. That payout will happen according to Stripe's schedule (about 5 to 10 business days).• Both Users can then discuss freely to agree on charging details.• EV User or Admin marks the order as completed (Users have met, the charge has been completed), or the order is automatically marked as completed after 3 days. Funds are then moved from the Stripe balance to the Host account.• Stripe transfers the money from the Stripe balance to the Host’s bank account. Stripe takes about 7 days to move the money.• Users can then review each other.• Even if the transaction is marked as completed immediately, the money will appear in the seller's bank account after a minimum of 7 days.
