For more information about EVgo’s collection and use of Personal Information in connection with the Services, please read our Privacy Policy, located at: https://www.evgo.com/privacy-policy/.

• You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or products you receive (“Charges”). Details of Services, pricing for such Services, and any supplemental terms offered by EVgo (collectively, a “Plan”) are located in your online Account and on the Site. Please login to your Account or visit the Site for further information on your Plan.

Pricing
Unless your Plan specifies otherwise, EVgo reserves the right to establish and revise Plan pricing, including membership fees and time or usage-based rates, at any time in EVgo’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that some aspects of Plan pricing are based on certain geographical areas, and, therefore, pricing may vary according to the location of the EVgo Charging Station. You may view current Plan pricing on the Mobile App and/or the Site. EVgo will use reasonable efforts to inform you of material changes in Plan pricing that may apply to you, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of pricing. All Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by EVgo.

EVgo 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, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. If you are receiving a free trial or Promotional Program not associated with a Plan, you may be placed on a successor Plan at the end of such trial or program. Any such Plan will have no monthly fee and will provide you with access to EVgo Charging Stations.

Billing & Payment
Generally EVgo will charge the method of payment that you designate during the creation of subsequent modification of your Account (“Designated Payment Method”) every time you initiate a charging session on an EVgo Charging Station ("Session Payment").  Each Session Payment will be collected on the same day as the applicable charging session ("Session Payment Date").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, EVgo may, at its sole discretion, elect to allow for Session Payments to accrue during an applicable month, in which case EVgo will collect the accrued Session Payments on the last day of your Billing Period.  As used herein, "Billing Period" means each one-month period commencing on and following the date you sign up for the Services. 

For any Plan with monthly membership fees (“Membership Fees”), EVgo will charge your Designated Payment Method on a monthly basis on the last day of each Billing Period (“Membership Payment Date”). You will receive an email confirming your payment and an Account invoice each month.  Since the Billing Period begins on the date you sign up for the Services under that Plan, if you sign up for multiple Plans with Membership Fees on different days of the month, each Plan will have its own corresponding Billing Period and Membership Payment Date.

If EVgo is unable to collect payment on the Session Payment Date or Membership Payment Date (each, a "Payment Due Date"), EVgo reserves the right, to be exercised In EVgo's sole discretion, to disable your access to the Services without advanced notice.  EVgo will thereafter, from time to time in its sole discretion, initiate further charges of your designated payment method until such time as your outstanding invoice is paid in full. If EVgo is unable to collect payment by the fifth day following the Payment Due Date, EVgo will add to the outstanding balance a one-time late payment fee (a “Late Payment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the outstanding invoiced amount multiplied by (ii) the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) or (b) the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. If EVgo is unable to collect payment of the outstanding amount (including the Late Payment Fee) by the tenth day following the Payment Due Date, EVgo may suspend your Account. If EVgo is unable to collect payment of the outstanding amount (including the Late Payment Fee) by the twenty-fifth day following the Payment Due Date, EVgo may deactivate your Account. If your Account is deactivated due to non-payment as set forth above, EVgo may assess an additional fee to reactivate your Account after delinquent payment is received; provided, however, that EVgo shall have sole discretion to determine whether to reactivate a deactivated account.

You understand if you have an unpaid balance to EVgo and do not make satisfactory payment arrangements, your account may be placed with an external collection agency. You will be responsible for reimbursement of the fee of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 35% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable collection and attorney’s fees incurred during collection efforts.

In order for EVgo or their designated external collection agency to service your account, and where not prohibited by applicable law, you agree that EVgo and the designated external collection agency are authorized to (i) contact you by telephone at the telephone number(s) you are providing, including wireless telephone numbers, which could result in charges to you, (ii) contact you by sending text messages (message and data rates may apply) or emails, using any email address you provide and (iii) methods of contact may include using pre-recorded/artificial voice message and/or use of an automatic dialing device, as applicable. Furthermore, you permit and consent to the designated external collection agency to share personal contact and account related information with third party vendors to communicate account related information via telephone, text, e-mail, and mail notification.

In the event of any such closure of your account, you will not be eligible for a refund of any fees and you may be prohibited from reopening your account, opening a new account or accessing any existing account. You agree that we shall not be liable, in any way, for any closure pursuant to this section of the Terms.

  • Upon any closure of your account: (i) these Terms and all rights granted under these Terms shall cease immediately (except those expressly surviving or which by their nature would survive); (ii) all access to the Service and your account will cease immediately; (iii) you will be billed for, and we may automatically attempt to collect from your payment method, any outstanding amount owed; and (iv) all of your data will (at our option) be deleted from our servers and backup systems and we may not have or keep backup of the data and User Content. We recommend that you run very regular backups. As well, we also recommend that you ensure you have retrieved all data and User Content and made all necessary backups before submitting any request to close your account or any of the Service. You agree to hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, losses or damages arising from any closure of your account. Any and all sections in these Terms which impose obligations continuing in their nature shall survive closure or otherwise continue to remain in full force and effect even after account closure. You are not permitted to access your account or any of the Service formerly associated with your account following any closure.

This Section 8 sets forth the terms of an arbitration agreement between you and EVgo.

ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER YOU NOR EVGO WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT CONSOLIDATED CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OR ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. ALSO, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE PRECLUDED FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST EVGO BY SOMEONE ELSE.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and EVgo
You and EVgo agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms and the Terms of any Plans or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and EVgo, and not in a court of law.

You acknowledge and agree that you and EVgo are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. However, you and EVgo each retain the right to bring an individual action to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality, or other breach of these Terms for which equitable relief may be available.

Rules & Governing Law
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://adr.org/Mediation or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Unless both you and EVgo otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of California.

Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Location and Procedure
The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California. If either party’s claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and EVgo submit to the Arbitrator, unless either party requests a hearing, or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If a party’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision
The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive damages, or any other monetary relief not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The award may include equitable relief. The Arbitrator will not make any ruling, finding, or award that does not otherwise conform to the Terms. The arbitrator may render a summary disposition relative to all or some of the issues, provided that the responding party has had an adequate opportunity to respond to any such application for such disposition. Only declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded by the Arbitrator in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. The parties agree to treat all aspects of the arbitration as confidential, as provided in the AAA Rules. Before making any disclosure permitted by the rules, a party shall give written notice to the other party and afford such party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

Changes
Notwithstanding the aforementioned provisions of this Section 8 Arbitration Agreement, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if EVgo materially changes the terms of the Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Terms, you may reject any such change by providing EVgo written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail addressed to EVgo at 11835 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 900, Los Angeles, CA 90064, Attn: Legal Department, or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to support@evgo.com, with the words “Attention: Legal Department” in the subject line. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and EVgo in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or agreed to any subsequent changes to the Terms).

Severability and Survival
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, then: (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and, (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Choice of Law
These Terms, your use of EVgo equipment and/or the Services, the terms of your Plan, and any dispute you may have with EVgo Services LLC related to the Site, Driver Portal, or Mobile App shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the state of California, except as may be otherwise provided in the above Arbitration Agreement. Where permitted under the Arbitration Agreement of Section 8, you agree to irrevocably submit in any legal proceeding relating to these Terms to a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Los Angeles, California. The foregoing choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to the arbitration clause in Section 8 or to any arbitrable disputes as defined therein. Instead, as described in Section 8, the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to any such disputes.

General
These Terms, including, but not limited to, the Privacy Policy (and updates to these Terms and the Privacy Policy), and any other terms agreed to in writing by the parties or by way of your use of the Site or the Services shall constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and EVgo regarding this subject matter, and shall supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous representations or understandings relating to this subject matter. The headings of sections and paragraphs in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation. You may not assign, transfer or convey (collectively, “assign” or its variants) these Terms, in whole or in part, your Plan, or your Account, Login Credential, or password without EVgo’s prior written approval EVgo may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without your consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be of no power or effect. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you, EVgo or any third-party provider as a result of these Terms, your Plan or use of the Services. If any provision of these Terms or the terms of any Plan are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law. EVgo’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by EVgo in writing. This provision shall not affect the Severability and Survivability section of the Arbitration Agreement of these Terms. Applicable provisions of these Terms will continue in effect after termination or expiration of a Plan or Account to the extent necessary, including those for billing adjustments and payments, indemnification, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution. EVgo’s rights under these Terms shall survive any termination of these Terms.
