1. How SparkCharge Mobile Subscriptions Work
You agree to prepay a set fee monthly, for a SparkCharge Mobile provider to bring a portable EV charger to a location where your compatible electric vehicle is located. The SparkCharge Mobile provider will then deliver the requested amount of charge to your vehicle. When you buy a SparkCharge Mobile subscription, you agree to have your credit card charged every Billing Cycle on a recurring basis, you agree to these SparkCharge Mobile Subscription Terms, as well as the specific terms of the Offer. Offers are limited and subject to change.
By participating in this Program you are agreeing to these SparkCharge Mobile Subscription Terms. If you do not agree to these SparkCharge Mobile Subscription Terms, do not participate in the Program.
Please note:
The quantity of charge delivered to the vehicle may vary depending on the state of the charge of the vehicle. 50 minutes of charge delivered to one vehicle may yield 50 miles, however, the same amount of time charging another vehicle may result in less range.
Most EVs are programmed to slow down charging speeds at 80%. For this reason, SparkCharge Mobile will only charge up to 80%.
2. Duration and Frequency of Charges
When you buy a SparkCharge Mobile Subscription, you'll be charged the one-month rate or annual rate (depending on the subscription you choose) for your first Billing Cycle on the date of purchase, which activates the SparkCharge Mobile Subscription for the term set forth in your Offer. Unless you cancel, you'll be charged at the Billing Cycle stated in your SparkCharge Mobile Subscription Offer based on the initial purchase date on your selected payment method. BY DEFAULT (AND WITH PRIOR NOTICE TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW), YOUR SPARKCHARGE MOBILE SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH BILLING CYCLE, AND THE PASS RATE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR SELECTED PAYMENT METHOD. If you do not want your SparkCharge Mobile Subscription to renew automatically, you can cancel your subscription in accordance with Section 3 below.
If your selected payment method is declined, SparkCharge Mobile will prompt you for a new payment method but reserves the right to terminate any unpaid periods in your SparkCharge Mobile Subscription with no further charges to you. SparkCharge Mobile and/or its parent, subsidiaries and/or affiliates are not responsible for any fees charged by the cardholder's bank including, but not limited to, overdraft fees, insufficient funds fees, interest charges, foreign exchange fees, cross-border fees, and other penalties levied by the cardholder's bank.
