EVCS manufacturers that claim to be OCPP-compliant may have only implemented part of the protocol, may have incorrectly interpreted the protocol or may ship hardware with other firmware bugs.

ChargeLab reserves the right to approve or reject the make and model of EVCS hardware, in addition to EVCS firmware version, to ensure compatibility. A previously approved EVCS may be deemed no longer approved or compatible if loaded with an unapproved firmware version that has not undergone ChargeLab compatibility testing.
5.4. New EVCS. If Reseller selects an EVCS hardware model or firmware version that has not been previously tested and approved by ChargeLab, additional fees may apply for testing and validation of the hardware and firmware.
5.5. Hardware Release. ChargeLab shall not be liable for any issues, loss or damages arising from the use of hardware that has not been approved by ChargeLab. Reseller on behalf of itself and its Customers and End Users hereby releases and forever discharges ChargeLab from any and all liability for such issues, losses or damage. ChargeLab cannot guarantee the performance of any EVCS hardware, including approved EVCS. As contemplated in Section 5.2, ChargeLab is not an EVCS manufacturer. Firmware bugs and other EVCS issues will not always be detected in ChargeLab compatibility tests.
6. Connectivity Services
6.1. SIM Cards. SIM cards ("SIMs") provided by ChargeLab may only be inserted in a charging device model that is pre-approved for SIM use by ChargeLab. The SIM shall not be used for any other purpose. ChargeLab shall not be responsible for any maintenance or removal of the SIMs once they are inserted into the charging device. Should SIMs need to be replaced in order to change cellular network providers or otherwise improve connectivity, ChargeLab shall provide replacement SIMs but shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by Reseller or its Customers in connection with replacing SIMs.
6.2. Third-Party Cellular Data Providers. ChargeLab is not a telecommunications or cellular data provider and does not provide any representation, guarantee or warranty in respect of the availability, quality, or reliability of connectivity at the charging site. It is the responsibility of the Reseller and Customer to verify the signal strength at the installation site prior to installation of the charging devices.
6.3. Data Cap. ChargeLab cellular data plans include up to 200 MB of data usage per month per SIM. In the event of additional usage, Reseller will pay ChargeLab for such additional usage on a monthly basis in arrears at a rate of $0.10 per MB.
6.4. Configuration. Reseller shall notify ChargeLab prior to hardware shipment if they require ChargeLab to configure the SIMs for use with the charging device. If Reseller chooses to configure the SIMs themselves, Reseller shall provide Seller with a list of SIMs and device IDs for ChargeLab’s records.
6.5. Termination of Other Services. In the event that the EVCS is replaced or sold, or in the case that this Agreement is terminated, Reseller shall be responsible for removing the SIM from the device and shall notify ChargeLab of the removal. ChargeLab shall not be responsible for any charges or fees associated with the use of the SIM after the removal from the charging device or termination of service.
6.6. Connectivity Services Indemnification. Reseller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ChargeLab and its employees, officers, directors, affiliates, agents, contractors, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or related to Reseller’s use, maintenance, or removal of the SIMs or Connectivity Services.
7. White-label and Custom Services
7.1. White-Label Services. Reseller may wish to offer Network Services under their own brand or a newly created brand which they own (“White-Label Brand”). ChargeLab will customize and operate a version of select Network Services featuring the White-Label Brand in exchange for fees specified in this Order Form(“White-Label Fees”).

7.3. Multiple Services. ChargeLab offers multiple distinct Network Services, including but not limited to core EVCS administration services, web app, iOS mobile apps, Android mobile apps, Customer dashboard & reports, End User reports, and RFID card management. Each Service shall be treated independently for the purposes of white-labeling. A payment of White-Label Fees for one Service does not create any obligation for ChargeLab to provide other White-Label Services. Each White-Label Service must be purchased separately, though ChargeLab reserves the right to bundle multiple White-Label Services. The bundling of multiple Services for white-labeling purposes does not constitute the merger of such Network Services for any other purposes.
7.4. Updates. Any updates to ChargeLab’s Core Network Services will be automatically added to the White-Label Services subject to a reasonable implementation delay and good standing for payment of the White-Label Fees. The definition of Core Network Services is determined by ChargeLab’s internal product teams and subject to change from time to time.
7.5. Interchangeable Language within this Reseller Agreement. Within this Reseller Agreement, the meaning ChargeLab Services and White-Label Services are interchangeable for the purposes of Section 7. For further clarity, if Reseller purchases White-Label Services, they may promote the White-Label Services in the place of ChargeLab Network Services.
7.6. Independent Contractors. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of ChargeLab’s provision of White-Label Services.
7.7. Custom Services. In conjunction with the purchase of White-Label Services or through a separate agreement, Resller may request that ChargeLab add custom features, capabilities, and components to its Services (“Custom Services”).
