V. CHARGING AND PAYING VIA RFID CARD
1. Use of the RFID Card
The User may charge an electric vehicle only by using an RFID Card issued by the Provider, which is linked to their Account or to a User-Organisation Account with which the card is associated. The RFID card serves as identification before an Authorised Charging Station and constitutes the User’s consent to initiate the charging process, consent to the Terms and Conditions of the Charging Station
Operators, as well as a commitment to pay the applicable charging fees to the Provider.
The User undertakes to:
• use charging stations in good faith and in accordance with safety instructions and the respective Terms and Conditions of Charging Station Operators;
• ensure that their vehicle and charging cable are compatible with the selected station;
• not provide the RFID card to third parties, except for authorized use within a User-Organisation Account.
2. Pricing and tariffs
Charging prices are set by the Charging Station Operator based on the tariffs provided by the respective
station operators, and may include:
• the cost of energy;
• connection and usage fees;
• administrative and technical fees charged by the Provider.
The current tariffs for each station are displayed in the App. The User is considered informed of the applicable price at the 5th of charging, except in cases of temporary technical issues.
Roaming Surcharge for Charging Sessions
When the User utilises a charging station that is part of a roaming network (for example, via Hubject or other partner platforms), the price displayed in the App may be higher than the price shown directly at the station by the local Operator.
This is due to additional costs related to the roaming service – such as partner fees, administrative charges, and technical costs associated with processing and interoperability between platforms. By initiating a charging session through the App or via an RFID card, the User accepts the final price displayed in the App and acknowledges that any difference from the local price is not a surcharge imposed by the Provider, but results from roaming-related fees applied by partner networks and operators.
3. Invoicing and payment
3.1. The User receives a monthly invoice from the Provider summarizing all charging sessions completed via their RFID Card(s), or RFID Cards associated with a User-Organization Account, during the previous calendar month.
3.2. The invoice is issued within the first 5 calendar days of each month and includes:
• date, location, and duration of each charging session;
• the amount of energy consumed (kWh);
• the applicable tariff and total amount due.
An exception is made for charging sessions for which the Provider is still awaiting information from the respective Charging Station Operator – these will be invoiced in the next billing period immediately after receiving the necessary data.
Price Breakdown in Invoices Each invoice issued by the Provider may include a detailed breakdown of the total amount due, based on the following main components:
• the cost of the consumed electricity;
• an idle fee at the charging station (if applicable);
• a parking fee (if applicable);
• a session start fee (if applicable); and
• any other fee imposed by the Operator of the charging station.
The proportion between these components is determined by the specific Operator of the charging station and may vary for each individual charging session.
The User is considered to be informed of the current price structure and total amount at the 5th charging session begins, based on the information provided by the Operator of the charging station. By using an RFID card or any other means of access, the User agrees to the applicable tariffs.
3.3 Payment Processing Fee
Each invoice may include an additional payment processing fee (“processing fee” / “service fee”) that covers the costs of performing the transaction through a payment platform (e.g., Stripe).
This fee currently amounts to 1.5% of the transaction value, but its amount may change depending on the applicable terms of the payment service provider. The fee will be clearly indicated in the respective invoice.
3.4. To prevent misuse, if the total cost of charging via the User’s RFID Card reaches or exceeds BGN 1000 including VAT within a calendar month:
• The Provider may issue an interim invoice to the User for the accumulated amount;
• additional interim invoices may be issued for each subsequent threshold of BGN 1000, VAT incl., reached during the same month;
• at the beginning of the following month (no later than the 5th day), a final invoice will be issued for any remaining unpaid charging sessions from the previous month. Each invoice must be paid within five (5) calendar days of its issuance. The User is obliged to make
the payment promptly using the methods specified in the invoice.
3.5. Payment is made directly to the Provider, who is responsible for selfing amounts owed to the respective Charging Station Operators.
3.6. Each invoice shall be sent by email to the address specified in the User’s Account or to another address provided by the User.
3.7. In exceptional cases beyond the Provider’s control (e.g., delayed technical data from a charging station operator), certain charging sessions may be invoiced later.
In such cases, the Provider may issue a delayed invoice, but no later than five (5) years from the date of the charging session. The User is advised to regularly check their charging history through their Account to monitor usage and invoices issued.
4. Non-payment
4.1. In the event of late payment, the Provider reserves the right to:
• send a reminder via email or in-app notification;

XII. SET-OFF
The Provider shall have the right to set off any of its monetary obligations to the User against any amounts due from the User under these Terms of Use or any concluded Agreements, including but not limited to: unpaid fees, subscription charges, penalties, compensation, or other payable amounts.
By accepting these Terms of Use:
1. Each User and each User-Organisation expressly agree that the Provider shall have the right to set off its payable monetary obligations to them against any payable monetary obligations of the respective User or Organizational User to the Provider, regardless of the grounds on which such obligations have arisen.
2. In the event of any payable obligations, the Provider may withhold payments to the User or User-Organization up to the amount owed and perform the set-off, notifying the respective User in an appropriate manner (e.g., via a message in the Account or by email).

(1) These Terms and the Subscription Agreement are governed and interpreted in accordance with the current legislation of the Republic of Bulgaria.
(2) All disputes arising in connection with the use of the Application or the interpretation and implementation of these Terms and/or a Subscription Agreement shall be resolved by mutual agreement between the parties, and in the event of failure to reach such an agreement – by the competent court in the city of Sofia, unless the applicable legislation provides otherwise.

XIV. MISCELLANEOUS
1. Force majeure
The Provider shall not be liable for any failure to perform or delay in performing its obligations due to force majeure, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of war, strikes, technical failures, power or telecommunications network failures, hacker attacks, regulatory restrictions or other events beyond its reasonable control. In such cases, the performance deadlines shall be extended by the time during which the force majeure occurred.
2. Lack of waiver of right
The fact that either party does not exercise its right or does not insist on the application of a particular clause of these General Terms and Conditions or the Subscription Agreement concluded between them does not constitute a waiver of this right and does not deprive the party of the opportunity to exercise it subsequently.
3. Invalidity of individual clauses
If any provision of these Terms or of the concluded Subscription Agreement is declared null, void or unenforceable by a competent court or by operation of law, it shall be deemed unenforceable, without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions. The Parties shall replace it with a valid clause that most closely reflects the economic and legal content of the original.
4. Transfer of rights and obligations
The User does not have the right to transfer his rights and obligations arising from these Terms and/or the Subscription Agreement to third parties without prior written consent from the Provider.
5. Changes to the Terms
(1) The Provider has the right to change these Terms at any time by publishing an updated version in the mobile App.
(2) Users will be notified of any material change by email and through a notice in the Application within
a reasonable CME before the new terms come into effect.
(3) If the User does not agree with the changes made, he/she has the right to terminate the Subscription Agreement by stating this in writing and/or through functionality in the App.
(4) The User may at any time request the deletion of his/her Account by submitting a request via email or via the contact form in the App. Delivery may take several business days.
Important: Deleting the Account does not release the User from the obligation to pay all amounts due as of the date of the request. Blocking or deactivation of an RFID card does not exempt the User from paying for charging sessions that have already been completed. Even if the Account in the App is deleted, information associated with it (including but not limited to tax and financial data) will continue to be retained by the Provider in accordance with applicable law and as specified in the Privacy Policy.
6. Disagreements between language versions
These General Terms and Conditions may be provided in more than one language. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between the language versions, the Bulgarian version shall prevail and shall be the only legally binding version.
