(“ChargeLab”), a Delaware corporation with a mailing address at 1049 El Monte Ave, Suite C #592, Mountain View, CA 94040. This ChargeLab Network Services Agreement incorporates the terms and conditions of the Order Form or the Dashboard, as applicable, and depending on the products and services ordered or used by Customer, may incorporate Supplementary Terms and Conditions (together, the “Agreement”). The Agreement will be a binding agreement effective on the date set out in the Order Form or the first date the services described herein are used by Customer (the “Effective Date”) and will apply to Services and Hardware (if any), provided by ChargeLab to Customer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Order Form or the Dashboard, as applicable. In this Agreement ChargeLab and Customer are the "Parties".

  1. Network Services and Support
    1. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, ChargeLab will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer the Network Services. “Network Services” consist of ChargeLab’s proprietary solution for connecting and administering electric vehicle charging stations (“EVCS”), both Level 2 charging stations (“Level 2 EVCS”) and DC fast charging stations (“DCFC”). For Network Services, the EVCS are already, or will be, installed by a third-party at properties owned or managed by Customer, as specified in the Order Form or the Dashboard (“Sites”). Customer may use the Network Services to connect and administer the EVCS.
    2. As part of the Network Services, ChargeLab will provide services to facilitate individual end users’ (“End Users”) access to the EVCS under a separate agreement between ChargeLab and the End Users. If Customer charges for EVCS access and use, Network Services include billing fees to the End Users for their usage of the EVCS (“EVCS Usage Fees”). ChargeLab will remit all EVCS Usage Fees to Customer, less any Transaction Fees owed to ChargeLab pursuant to Section 5.1 of these Terms and Conditions. Customer hereby grants ChargeLab exclusive rights to bill EVCS Usage Fees to End Users. As a condition of using the Network Services, Customer may not bill End Users directly for usage of the EVCS or engage a third-party to bill EVCS Usage Fees, submetering fees, parking fees, or any other type of fee related to the usage of the EVCS.
    3. Certain EVCS may be eligible to generate low-carbon fuel standard credits, clean fuel standard credits, clean fuel credits, carbon offsets, renewable fuels credits, emissions reduction units, or other credits, benefits, reductions, offsets, and allowances (“Carbon Credits”). ChargeLab maintains registration and administrative reporting cadences with various governing entities for the purpose of claiming Carbon Credits related to the use of the EVCS. As part of the Network Services, ChargeLab will file and claim Carbon Credits on Customer’s behalf. ChargeLab will remit to Customer any applicable proceeds earned from Carbon Credits generated by Customer’s EVCS, less Credit Processing Fees owed to ChargeLab pursuant to Section 5.1 of these Terms and Conditions. Customer hereby grants ChargeLab exclusive rights to claim Carbon Credits related to the use of the EVCS, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Parties.
    4. ChargeLab will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with technical support services in accordance with the tier of Network Services selected in the Order Form or Dashboard, as applicable, as follows:
      1. Tier 1 – qualified agents to respond as quickly as possible though a provided toll free number and 24/7 call center service. ChargeLab may also provide SMS, in-app chat, and email support in addition to the call center service.
      2. Tier 2 – qualified technicians to respond to all site host inquiries sent to sitehosts@chargelab.co within 24 hours of request (excluding weekends or official holidays).

      ChargeLab will not be held responsible for support failures caused by failures in telecommunications networks, misuse of the EVCS by End Users or other events outside ChargeLab’s reasonable control.
