Non-Standard Cards cannot be used at outside payment terminals. After the Customer reports a Non-Standard Card as lost or stolen, the Company will advise our network of Suppliers of Non-Standard Cards which the Customer report to us as lost, stolen or being used in a fraudulent manner, in the usual way. The company will notify you as soon as they are aware that any Non-Standard Card that the Customer has notified to the Company as lost or stolen, has been used. However, because Non-Standard Cards are less easy to control and monitor, the Customer will be liable in full for all purchases made with any Non-Standard Card until that Non-Standard Card has expired or has been returned to us irrespective of whether the Card has been reported lost or stolen or whether or not our relationship with the Customer is terminated.

9.3 The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any and all claims, losses, costs, penalties, expenses, damages and liabilities that the Company may suffer or incur which in any way, directly or indirectly, arise from or relate to any transactions using Non-Standard Cards (and any associated Card numbers) issues to the Customer, however occurring (including fraudulent transactions on cloned and/or skimmed Cards).

Although the Customer will remain liable for all transactions until Non-Standard Cards have expired or been returned to us, as soon as you notify the Company that a Non-Standard Card is lost, stolen or being used in a fraudulent way the Company will attempt to prevent further use of such Non-Standard Cards (and/or any associated Card numbers) and use our reasonable endeavours to limit the Customer’s financial exposure and risk.

If you do not follow the correct procedure for disconnecting the vehicle from the Charge Point, causing the Charge Point to not be registered as available, the Customer will be liable to pay an additional charge as set out in the Standard Charges.

23.3 The Customer agrees that they are responsible for any damage caused to a Charge Point or to any other property or for any injury to any person which is caused by their breach (or the breach by any person with them or using a Card with your authority (Passenger)) of this Agreement or by your or your Passenger’s misuse, lack of care or negligence or failure to comply with any instructions or guidance in relation to a Charge Point.  The Customer must notify the Charge Point Provider immediately of any injury to any person or to any damage and follow any directions they may give you. The Customer consents to the Company sharing the following elements of the personal data (name of your company, registered address, company number, fleet officer, and company phone number) with the Charge Point Provider (and any partner whose services you sign up to use in conjunction with your Card) where necessary in connection with damage or injury for which the Customer is responsible. In such circumstances, the Company and the relevant Charge Point Provider will be independent data controllers. If the Customer and their Passengers do not comply with this Agreement then, in addition to our rights to take action against them, the Company may end their right to access and use the Charge Points with the Card.  The Customer acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Charge Point Providers: (a) guarantee the availability of all Charge Points; and (b) are responsible to the Customer if a Charge Point is unavailable at any particular time as a result of an occurrence outside of our control (such as a third party parking in a bay in breach of the rules and regulations). Neither the Company nor the Charge Point Providers will be liable to the Customer or to any Passenger, for any loss of, or damage to personal property whether during or after using a Charge Point, unless such loss or damage is caused by our negligence or if the Company has failed to use reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit or exclude the Company liability to the Customer (or the liability of the Charge Point Providers) for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law.

24.1 To ensure compliance with the Irish Anti Money Laundering Regulations and Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (or any amendments or re-enactments thereof), the Company may require, at our absolute discretion, verification of the Customers and that of any of your directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, owners or controllers. The Customer agrees to provide or procure the provision to the Company of such information and other evidence as the Company may require to satisfy such verification of identity requirements. Cards will not be issued to the Customer unless and until such verification requirements have been satisfied and we are entitled, in our absolute discretion, to determine whether such requirements have been satisfied. The Company will not be liable to any person for any loss or damage suffered or incurred (or alleged), directly or indirectly, as a result of the exercise of such discretion. Any failure by a Customer to provide the necessary evidence of identity within a reasonable time may result in delays in the issue of Cards. If, within a reasonable time following a request for verification of identity, the Company has not received evidence satisfactory to it as aforesaid, it may, in its absolute discretion, treat the relevant application as invalid.
