2.1 Related to a Token. On our Platform dashboard you can activate your Token to be able to charge at your Charging Station(s) and start tracking your transactions. When activating your Token, you can subscribe to roaming, which is a Subscription allowing you to charge your electric vehicle at a Charging Station within the EVBox Network at the applicable rates.

By subscribing to roaming or using the Token to this respect, you agree to the rate of the Charging Station operator (which can be a third party with whom EVBox has concluded a roaming agreement but that does not change the fact that EVBox has no influence over the applicable rates of that operator). It is your responsibility to know and comply with the parking policy and/or terms of use associated with any Charging Station within the EVBox Network.
2.2 Related to a Charging Station. On our Platform dashboard you can activate your Charging Station to manage your Charging Station and track all charging sessions. If you have a business account and depending on the applicable laws, when activating your Charging Station, you may activate it for guest use by other end-users and set a chargeable rate for such guest use.

6.1 If you are a business user. All fees for the Subscription are set in the currency as stated in the Platform and are exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes and contributions. EVBox reserves the right to (i) index the fees for Subscription on annual basis with effect from anniversary of the Subscription based on the Services producer price index (SPPI) of the quarter preceding the anniversary; and (ii) increase the fees upon renewal of the Subscription.

(b) recovery of all judicial costs and extrajudicial collection costs incurred by EVBox in order to achieve fulfilment of the obligation. The extrajudicial collection costs amount to 15% of the outstanding invoice amount, with a minimum of EUR 40 (forty euro), or an equivalent amount in the agreed currency;
(c) at EVBox’s option, suspend, terminate or rescind the execution of the Subscription, without prejudice to the right of EVBox to recover/claim any incurred damages;
(d) prompt payment of any amounts under any invoice issued by EVBox, whether or not such invoices are due at the time of non-payment.
