3. PLUG’N ROLL CUSTOMER ACCOUNT & CUSTOMER PORTAL 

3.1 Initial registration
The comprehensive use of charging stations in the PLUG’N ROLL charging network and the associated services requires the creation of a customer account or completed registration in the PLUG’N ROLL portal provided for e-drivers and fleet managers. To gain access to the customer portal, the customer must register as a customer for the first time with the necessary customer and payment data.  

3.2 Customer account
The e-driver has access to the stored personal data, payment methods, means of access and purchased services via the customer portal and can make changes to it. Specific historical information is also available in the customer account. Various support and contact options are also available.  

3.3 Fleet management
In the fleet management module, fleet managers have the option of ordering and comprehensively managing access resources for the e-drivers and/or vehicle fleet they manage in a bundled manner after prior activation by PLUG’N ROLL.  

3.4 Conditions of use
The PLUG’N ROLL portal can be accessed via the PLUG’N ROLL website using standard end devices with an internet browser and an active internet connection. The PLUG’N ROLL portal can also be accessed by end customers via the PLUG’N ROLL app. The customer accepts that updates to the website, the portal and the app will be made and that further use depends on this. The customer is responsible for the proper use of their end device, customer account and a fully completed registration. The customer is required to keep all login details and passwords secret and to store them in a way that third parties cannot access them. The customer account is personal and non-transferable.  

 

4. MEANS OF ACCESS & AUTHENTICATION 

4.1 Access authorisation & authentication
As part of the registration process, the e-driver has the option of activating various PLUG’N ROLL access means for activating charging stations in the PLUG’N ROLL charging network. The active means of access enables the authentication and activation of charging stations in the public PLUG’N ROLL charging network and/or certain charging stations in semi-public and private areas specifically assigned to the e-driver. Means of access are in particular: 

4.2 APP
The e-driver can use the PLUG’N ROLL app to search for, find and activate charging stations. A mobile phone with an Android or iOS operating system and a functioning internet connection are required to use the app.  

4.3 Charging chip
The e-driver can either order a PLUG’N ROLL charging chip directly as part of the registration process or place a follow-up order at a later date. The charging chip is used to activate and start/end a charging process. Furthermore, existing charging cards and other RFID badges from PLUG’N ROLL or selected partners can also be added to the customer account. The use of external RFID authentication devices requires technical compatibility.  

4.4 Swisspass
E-drivers can link their existing SwissPass in combination with an active SwissPass customer account during initial registration or at a later date in the PLUG’N ROLL portal and use it to activate charging stations.   

4.5 Ad-hoc charging without registration
At selected charging stations in the PLUG’N ROLL charging network, the customer has the option of activating charging without registration and without PLUG’N ROLL access means. Ad-hoc charging takes place via a physical credit card terminal or via a QR code payment solution and the associated payment methods available in each case.   

4.6 Special cases
Charging station owners and fleet managers may apply individual special regulations with regard to the means of access, authentication methods and charging stations they manage. In such cases, Repower provides no guarantees for functionality, billing and other consequences of this kind.  

4.7 Loss, theft & misuse
The customer shall take suitable measures to prevent unauthorised access by third parties. If a means of access is lost, the customer must inform Repower immediately in writing or by telephone. Repower will block the corresponding means of access after receiving notification of the loss. Charges made before the credit card has been blocked will be charged to the customer. There is no entitlement to reimbursement or compensation. Repower accepts no liability whatsoever in the event of loss, theft, misuse or similar of a means of access.  

 

5. PRICES 

5.1 Price announcement & price transparency
The currently valid prices and tariffs for charging processes in the PLUG’N ROLL charging network can be viewed transparently at any time before and after the charging process via the PLUG’N ROLL app. For ad-hoc payments via a physical credit card terminal, the prices and tariffs are also shown on the display of the respective charging station or credit card terminal. For ad-hoc payments via QR code, the prices and tariffs are also displayed on the terminal in the associated online payment process. PLUG’N ROLL Support is also available for price information.  

After the charging process, the customer has access to all relevant information such as the total price charged and charging details on the PLUG’N ROLL app or invoice.  

Prices may vary depending on the charging station and may vary on a daily and weekly basis. The customer undertakes to find out the applicable tariff via the means provided before starting a charge and will only start a charging process if he/she is aware of and agrees to the costs incurred.  

5.2 Subscriptions & other costs
Repower reserves the right to charge costs for starting a charging process, charging chips, charging chip replacement orders and set-up costs for customer accounts. Furthermore, any monthly subscription costs are based on the e-driver subscription type selected during registration or by subsequent selection in the customer account of the e-driver portal.   

 

6. TERMS OF PAYMENT 

6.1 Means of payment
In order to use the PLUG’N ROLL services, a valid and reliable means of payment must be deposited.  

6.2 Invoice form
Repower or a third party engaged by Repower currently sends invoices, receipts and attachments for purchased services to customers in electronic form. Repower is constantly endeavoring to expand the payment options and reserves the right to make changes in this regard.  

6.3. Billing
Billing is bundled once a month.  Repower cannot rule out delays in the transmission of charging data. Billing of the charging processes carried out can therefore take place retrospectively and may cover several billing periods.   

As part of credit card payments for ad-hoc charging via QR code or credit card terminal, an amount is pre-reserved on the credit card and the final amount is debited after the charging process has been completed.  

6.4. Terms of payment & late payment
Repower invoices must be paid within 30 days of receipt. If it is not possible to charge the customer’s credit card or if Repower does not receive payment on time, Repower reserves the right to block the customer’s access to the PLUG’N ROLL network, including the partner network.  

 

7. USE OF CHARGING STATIONS  

7.1 Intended use
Charging stations in the PLUG’N ROLL charging network may only be used to supply suitable electric vehicles with electrical energy. The customer has no right to resell the energy or use the energy for purposes other than charging the battery or operating his electric vehicle. Repower excludes all liability for misuse of the charging station and the energy obtained.  

7.2 Availability & condition of charging stations
Repower’s obligations are limited solely to procuring charging stations for the customer, activating them and accepting payments for charging processes and forwarding them to the charging station owner. The charging station owner is the operator of the charging stations brokered by Repower or commissions a third party for this purpose. The charging station owner is responsible for ensuring that its charging stations are in a ready-to-use, safe and professionally maintained condition. Repower endeavors to ensure that the charging services function properly, but accepts no liability for the availability, functionality, failure or condition of the charging infrastructure provided or for any consequential costs arising therefrom.  

The operation of charging stations in the PLUG’N ROLL charging network can be temporarily or permanently suspended without prior notice. The availability of the charging stations and the operating status is displayed on the PLUG’N ROLL app depending on the availability of the information. Repower does not guarantee that the information displayed and provided about the charging stations is correct and complete. 

7.3 Safety and utilisation regulations
For safety reasons, the customer undertakes to fulfil the necessary technical and regulatory requirements and regulations in order to be able and permitted to start the charging process at a charging station (in particular suitable cable, compatibility of the vehicle with direct or alternating current depending on the charging station, regulations of the vehicle manufacturer, etc.). No liability is assumed for the customer’s technical and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, Repower accepts no liability for the function of the charge if it is used improperly. Only rechargeable electric or hybrid vehicles that are authorised for road traffic may be connected to the charging station. The customer is obliged to observe all warning messages and to immediately take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of themselves, third parties, their vehicle and third-party property. The customer must treat the charging station and the charging services properly and with the necessary care, use them in accordance with the safety instructions and charging instructions and refrain from any unauthorised use. The charging stations and charging cables must not be damaged. The customer must notify Repower immediately of any damage to charging stations or charging cables. Charging cables at charging stations must be handled in such a way that they pose no danger to other persons or property. In particular, a cable that is permanently attached to the charging station must be properly stowed away again in the designated device after the charging process and the connectors must be protected from moisture and dirt. After completion of the charging process, the charging station and the associated parking space must be released again immediately, unless otherwise agreed, and must not be used for any other purpose. The instructions of the car park owner/operator must always be followed. Roaming charges and third-party car park charges must be observed and generally paid separately. Designated opening hours of the car park must be observed. The customer is liable to Repower and third parties for any damage caused to the charging station or its surroundings in breach of the provisions of these GTC and the safety and usage regulations. 

7.4 Power quality
Different qualities of electricity can be offered within the PLUG’N ROLL charging network. Repower does not undertake to supply a specific quality of electricity, but is committed to ensure that green electricity or a corresponding added value in the form of green electricity certificates or guarantees of origin are used by the charging station owners.  

 

8. PROVISION OF SERVICES BY THIRD PARTIES
