End User Terms & Conditions
CHARGE N GO APP – END USER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Effective date: 6th August 2026
Last updated: 6 August 2026
Version: 2.0
1. About these Terms
These End User Terms and Conditions apply to your access to and use of:
- the Charge N Go Australia mobile application;
- the Charge N Go web application;
- QR-code, RFID and other supported charging-access methods;
- your Charge N Go account;
- EV charging sessions initiated through the Charge N Go platform; and
- related payment, billing and customer-support services.
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Charge N Go Australia Pty Limited.
By creating an account, accepting these Terms in the App or initiating a charging session, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not create an account or use the Charge N Go App or charging services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or another applicable law.
2. Who We Are
Legal name: Charge N Go Australia Pty Limited
ABN: 35 656 295 171
Trading name: Charge N Go Australia
Website: chargengo.au
Support email: support@chargengo.au
Customer support: 1800 940 799
In these Terms:
- App means the Charge N Go mobile application, web application and associated digital services.
- Charge N Go, we, us and our mean Charge N Go Australia Pty Limited.
- Charger means an EV charger accessible through the Charge N Go platform.
- Charging Session or Session means a charging transaction initiated through the App, QR code, RFID card or another supported access method.
- Fees means the charging, time, session, parking, idle, overstay, payment or other fees displayed before a Session begins.
- Site means the premises at which a Charger is located.
- Site Host means the owner, occupier, manager or operator of the Site or Charger.
- you and your mean the person using the App or charging services.
3. Our Role and the Role of Site Hosts
Charge N Go provides or arranges access to EV charging services and provides associated account, platform, payment, billing and customer-support services.
Unless the App clearly identifies another supplier before a Session begins, your contract for the Charging Session is with Charge N Go.
A Site Host may:
- own or control the Site or Charger;
- determine the charging tariff and applicable idle or parking rules;
- set Site access conditions and operating hours;
- impose parking restrictions; and
- engage Charge N Go to operate or manage the Charger and collect payments.
Charge N Go may collect Fees as the charging-service provider, merchant of record or authorised payment and platform operator, depending on the relevant Site arrangement.
Payment for a Charging Session does not give you a general right to enter, remain at or park at a Site. You must separately comply with all Site access and parking conditions.
Parking fines, infringement notices and charges imposed independently by a Site Host, parking operator or government authority are separate from the Fees charged through the App unless expressly stated otherwise.
4. Eligibility
You must:
- be at least 18 years old;
- have legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement;
- provide accurate account and payment information; and
- use the App and Chargers only for lawful purposes.
You must not create an account using another person’s identity or payment information without their authority.
Where you use the service through an employer, fleet, strata, property or other organisational account, additional conditions imposed by that organisation may apply.
5. Your Account
You are responsible for:
- keeping your login credentials, PIN and authentication methods secure;
- taking reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised access;
- keeping your contact and payment information current;
- promptly reviewing your charging and payment records; and
- notifying us promptly if your account, RFID card or device may have been compromised.
You are responsible for Charging Sessions and transactions that you authorise or that result from your failure to take reasonable care of your account credentials or access devices.
You are not automatically responsible for unauthorised transactions that:
- you did not authorise;
- were not caused or contributed to by your fraud or negligence; or
- occurred after you notified us that your account or access method had been compromised.
We may ask you to change your password, verify your identity or take other reasonable security measures.
6. Accessing Chargers
Depending on the Charger, you may be able to start a Session using:
- the Charge N Go App;
- the Charge N Go web application;
- a QR code;
- an RFID card or tag;
- a fleet or organisational account; or
- another access method made available by Charge N Go.
Not every access method will be available at every Charger.
Before beginning a Session, you must:
- check that the Charger and connector are compatible with your vehicle;
- check the tariff and other applicable Fees;
- inspect the cable, connector and Charger for visible damage;
- follow the instructions in the App and at the Site; and
- ensure that your vehicle can be charged safely.
Do not use a Charger that appears damaged, unsafe, wet beyond its intended weather rating, vandalised or otherwise unsuitable for use. Report the issue to Charge N Go or the Site Host.
7. Pricing and Fees
Before you initiate a Charging Session, the App, web interface or Site signage will display the applicable pricing components where relevant.
These may include:
- a price per kilowatt-hour;
- a price per minute;
- a fixed start or session fee;
- an idle or overstay fee;
- an integrated parking fee;
- a minimum Session fee;
- a payment or transaction fee; and
- any other unavoidable fee applying to the Session.
Prices displayed to individual consumers are inclusive of GST unless clearly stated otherwise.
Because the final cost depends on factors such as energy delivered, charging duration and idle time, the total Session cost may not be known when the Session begins.
By initiating a Session, you accept the tariff and Fees displayed immediately before the Session begins.
Changes to a tariff will apply to future Sessions and will not ordinarily apply retrospectively to a Session already in progress.
Where you initiate a Session using RFID or another method that does not display pricing directly, the applicable pricing will be the current tariff shown in the App, on the relevant Charger or on Site signage.
You should check the current tariff before starting every Session, as tariffs may differ between Sites and may change over time.
8. Idle, Overstay and Time-Based Fees
A Charger may have an idle, overstay or time-based fee intended to encourage drivers to move their vehicles after charging or after a maximum permitted period.
Before a Session begins, the applicable information should identify:
- the amount of the fee;
- when the fee starts;
- whether a grace period applies;
- whether the fee applies after charging stops, after a specified time or under another stated condition; and
- any maximum charging or parking period.
You are responsible for monitoring your Session and moving your vehicle within the applicable time limit.
App notifications are provided as a convenience. You remain responsible for checking the Session status even if a notification is delayed, blocked or not received.
An idle or overstay fee will not be knowingly retained where our investigation establishes that it was incorrectly imposed because of a fault in the Charger, App or Charge N Go platform.
Separate parking conditions or fines may continue to apply even where no idle fee is charged through the App.
9. Starting and Ending a Charging Session
When you initiate a Session, you authorise Charge N Go to:
- authenticate your account or access method;
- send instructions to the Charger;
- record charging and transaction information;
- calculate the applicable Fees; and
- charge your nominated payment method or available wallet balance.
A Session begins when it has been accepted by the Charger and charging or billable access has commenced.
To end a Session, you must follow the instructions shown in the App and on the Charger. Depending on the Charger, this may require you to:
- select “Stop Charging” in the App;
- stop the Session through the vehicle;
- present the RFID card again;
- wait for the Charger to release the cable; and
- disconnect and return the cable safely.
Physically disconnecting the vehicle may not always end the Session in the charging platform.
You should check that:
- the App shows that the Session has ended;
- the Charger indicates that charging has stopped; and
- the connector has been safely returned or secured.
If you cannot stop a Session, or the Session remains active after you have stopped charging or unplugged, contact us promptly using the support number displayed in the App or on the Charger.
We will review available Charger, platform and payment records and correct Fees that our investigation establishes were incorrectly charged because of a technical fault.
You must not repeatedly start and stop Sessions to evade a legitimate fee or interfere with Charger operation.
10. Metering and Session Records
The amount payable for a Session will be calculated using the applicable tariff and the Session information reported by the Charger or charging platform.
Relevant records may include:
- energy delivered;
- Session start and end times;
- connection duration;
- charging duration;
- idle duration;
- Charger and connector identifiers;
- tariff information; and
- payment and authentication records.
Session information may be delayed or corrected where:
- the Charger temporarily loses connectivity;
- information is transmitted after the Session ends;
- an obvious metering, tariff or processing error is identified; or
- a Site Host or service provider supplies corrected information.
We will not knowingly increase a completed Session charge without a reasonable basis and supporting records.
11. Payment Authorisation
You must maintain a valid payment method or sufficient approved wallet balance where required.
By adding a payment method, you authorise Charge N Go and its payment providers to:
- verify the payment method;
- tokenise and securely retain payment credentials;
- place a temporary pre-authorisation or authorisation hold;
- process Session charges;
- process refunds and adjustments; and
- retry a failed payment as permitted by these Terms and applicable law.
A pre-authorisation is not necessarily a completed charge. The amount may temporarily reduce your available account balance until your bank or card issuer releases it.
The timing for releasing a pre-authorisation is generally controlled by your bank or payment provider.
Charge N Go does not ordinarily receive or store your complete card number or card security code.
12. Wallet and Account Credits
Where the App offers a wallet or prepaid account balance:
- wallet funds may be used for eligible Charge N Go services;
- wallet funds do not earn interest;
- wallet funds are not a bank deposit;
- promotional credits may be subject to separate conditions disclosed when issued; and
- purchased credits and promotional credits may be used in a specified order disclosed in the App.
You must not use the wallet to conduct unauthorised payment transfers, money laundering, fraud or other unlawful activity.
Requests to refund an unused purchased balance will be considered subject to:
- identity and payment verification;
- any applicable promotional conditions;
- amounts already used or owing;
- the capabilities of the original payment method; and
- applicable law.
Nothing in this section limits any refund right available under the Australian Consumer Law.
13. Failed and Outstanding Payments
If a valid payment is declined or remains unpaid, we may:
- notify you of the outstanding amount;
- retry the nominated payment method;
- ask you to provide another payment method;
- restrict the initiation of new Sessions; or
- suspend your account until the outstanding amount is resolved.
Except in cases of suspected fraud, security risk or repeated non-payment, we will ordinarily give you a reasonable opportunity to address an outstanding payment before suspending your account.
We will not treat a payment as owing where it is subject to a genuine unresolved billing dispute without first reviewing the relevant information.
You must not improperly reverse or charge back a valid payment for a Charging Session you received. This does not restrict your right to dispute an incorrect or unauthorised transaction.
14. Receipts and Charging History
After a completed Session, we will make a receipt or transaction record available through the App, by email or through another reasonable method.
The record will generally show:
- the date and time;
- the Site or Charger;
- the energy delivered;
- the Session duration, where applicable;
- the tariff and relevant Fees;
- the total amount charged; and
- applicable GST information.
You should review your receipt and contact us promptly if you believe it contains an error.
A delay in reporting an issue does not remove any right that cannot lawfully be excluded, but prompt notice may help us obtain and review relevant Charger records.
15. Refunds and Billing Disputes
Contact us if you believe:
- a Session failed to start;
- no charging service was provided;
- a Session ended prematurely;
- a Session remained active after you attempted to stop it;
- the wrong tariff was applied;
- the energy or time calculation appears incorrect;
- an idle fee was incorrectly charged;
- you were charged more than once; or
- a transaction was unauthorised.
Please provide, where available:
- your account email;
- the Site;
- the Charger or connector number;
- the date and approximate time;
- the transaction or Session reference;
- the amount disputed;
- your vehicle details where relevant; and
- screenshots or other supporting information.
We may review Charger logs, platform records, payment information and Site information before determining the outcome.
Where a charge is found to be incorrect, we may:
- reverse the transaction;
- refund the affected amount;
- adjust the Session;
- issue an account credit with your agreement; or
- provide another remedy required by law.
Approved card refunds will be initiated to the original payment method unless another method is agreed or reasonably required.
Your bank or card issuer may require additional time to make a processed refund available.
16. Your Safety and Site Responsibilities
You must:
- use the Charger only for its intended purpose;
- follow manufacturer, vehicle, App and Site instructions;
- comply with road, parking, building and safety rules;
- take reasonable care when handling charging cables;
- place cables where they do not create a trip or traffic hazard;
- supervise children and other persons under your control;
- ensure that your vehicle is safely positioned; and
- stop using the Charger if an unsafe condition arises.
You must not:
- use visibly damaged equipment;
- use an adaptor unless it is lawful, compatible and approved for the relevant equipment;
- force a connector into your vehicle;
- disconnect another user’s vehicle;
- obstruct access to other Chargers;
- perform repairs or electrical work on a Charger;
- open a Charger enclosure;
- bypass a safety mechanism; or
- remain connected contrary to emergency or Site instructions.
In an emergency, contact emergency services on 000 and follow any emergency shutdown instructions at the Site.
17. Prohibited Conduct
You must not:
- use the App, account or Charger fraudulently or unlawfully;
- tamper with, damage or misuse a Charger;
- interfere with another person’s Session;
- use automated tools to access or overload the platform;
- introduce malware or harmful code;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to another account or system;
- impersonate another person;
- manipulate Session, tariff or payment data;
- use stolen or unauthorised payment credentials;
- copy, modify or reverse engineer the App except to the limited extent expressly permitted by law; or
- use Charge N Go intellectual property without permission.
We may report suspected unlawful activity to the appropriate authorities.
You may be responsible for reasonable loss or damage directly caused by your deliberate or negligent breach of this section, subject to applicable law.
18. Availability of the App and Chargers
We aim to provide reliable services, but a Charger or the App may sometimes be unavailable because of:
- planned or emergency maintenance;
- power or telecommunications outages;
- Charger faults;
- software or network problems;
- Site closures or access restrictions;
- another vehicle occupying the Charger;
- safety concerns;
- vandalism or damage;
- third-party service interruptions; or
- events outside our reasonable control.
Charger availability and status shown in the App may not always be real-time or accurate.
We do not guarantee that:
- a particular Charger will be available at a particular time;
- every Charger shown in the App will be operational;
- a Charger will deliver its maximum advertised power;
- your vehicle will accept the Charger’s maximum power;
- charging will complete within a particular time; or
- the App will always operate without interruption.
Charging speed may be affected by the vehicle, battery condition, temperature, Charger capacity, power availability, load management and other technical factors.
We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the services and addressing faults within our control.
19. Updates and Maintenance
We may update the App or platform to:
- improve functionality;
- address faults;
- introduce new features;
- maintain compatibility;
- improve cybersecurity;
- comply with law; or
- change the way our services are delivered.
Some updates may be required before you can continue using the App.
Where reasonably possible, we will provide advance notice of planned outages that are likely to materially affect the service.
20. Privacy
We handle personal information in accordance with the Charge N Go Australia Privacy Policy, available in the App and on our website.
The Privacy Policy explains:
- what information we collect;
- why we collect it;
- how we use and disclose it;
- overseas processing;
- retention and security;
- access and correction rights; and
- how to make a privacy complaint.
Where consent is legally required for a particular collection, use or disclosure, we will request that consent separately or provide an appropriate choice.
You can manage optional permissions, such as device-location access, through your device or App settings where available. Some features may not operate without the relevant permission.
We may use aggregated or de-identified charging information for:
- operational reporting;
- network planning;
- Charger-performance analysis;
- service improvement; and
- reporting to Site Hosts and business partners.
Where you use an employer, fleet, strata or organisational account, the relevant account administrator may be able to view Charging Sessions associated with that account, vehicle or RFID identifier.
21. Intellectual Property
The App, platform, software, branding, content and related intellectual property are owned by or licensed to Charge N Go.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the App for accessing Charge N Go services.
This licence does not permit you to:
- reproduce or commercially exploit the App;
- remove ownership or copyright notices;
- create a competing product using protected elements of the App;
- sell, sublicense or transfer access; or
- modify or reverse engineer the App except where applicable law expressly permits it.
22. Suspension and Account Closure
We may temporarily restrict or suspend your access where reasonably necessary because:
- you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms;
- an amount remains unpaid after reasonable notice;
- we reasonably suspect fraud or unauthorised use;
- your activity creates a safety or security risk;
- your account is being used unlawfully;
- suspension is necessary to protect another person or the platform; or
- suspension is required by law.
Where urgent action is not required, we will ordinarily provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to address the issue.
You may contact us to dispute a suspension.
You may stop using the App at any time and may request closure of your account through the App or by contacting support.
Account closure does not:
- cancel a Charging Session already in progress;
- remove an obligation to pay valid outstanding Fees;
- prevent us from completing a refund or dispute investigation; or
- require us to delete information that we are legally entitled or required to retain.
23. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to:
- the law;
- regulatory requirements;
- our services or technology;
- payment or security requirements;
- the App’s functionality; or
- our business operations.
We will provide reasonable notice of a material change through the App, by email or on our website.
Where reasonably practicable, we will provide at least 14 days’ notice before a material change takes effect.
A shorter notice period may apply where a change is urgently required for legal, security, fraud-prevention or safety reasons.
Changes will not retrospectively alter the price or terms of a completed Charging Session.
If you do not agree to a material change, you may stop using the service and close your account before the change takes effect.
Your use of the App or initiation of a new Charging Session after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
24. Australian Consumer Law
Our services come with consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
These may include guarantees that services will be:
- provided with due care and skill;
- fit for a purpose you made known to us; and
- supplied within a reasonable time where no time was agreed.
Where a service does not comply with an applicable consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to have the service supplied again, cancel the affected service, receive a refund or recover compensation, depending on the nature and seriousness of the problem.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies those rights.
25. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party is responsible for loss or damage to the extent that the loss or damage was caused or contributed to by that party’s breach, negligence, unlawful conduct or failure to take reasonable care.
Charge N Go does not exclude liability for:
- liability that cannot lawfully be excluded;
- breach of an applicable consumer guarantee;
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud or wilful misconduct; or
- direct and reasonably foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these Terms.
Subject to those rights, Charge N Go is not responsible to the extent that loss or damage is caused by:
- your failure to follow safety or Site instructions;
- misuse of a Charger;
- an unsafe, defective or incompatible vehicle;
- unauthorised modifications or adaptors;
- conduct of another driver or Site user;
- a Site condition outside our reasonable control;
- independent parking enforcement;
- inaccurate information provided by you;
- interruption by a telecommunications, electricity or payment provider outside our reasonable control; or
- an event outside our reasonable control that we could not reasonably prevent or overcome.
Charge N Go is not responsible for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when the relevant service was supplied, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
The availability of one remedy under these Terms does not prevent you from exercising another remedy available under applicable law.
26. Events Outside Our Reasonable Control
Neither party will be liable for a failure or delay caused by an event outside that party’s reasonable control, except for:
- an obligation to pay an amount already validly incurred;
- an obligation imposed by the Australian Consumer Law; or
- an obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Events outside reasonable control may include natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, widespread power failure, telecommunications failure, industrial action, government action, cyberattack, civil disturbance or damage to third-party infrastructure.
The affected party must take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of the event.
27. Complaints and Contact Details
For questions, complaints or requests concerning:
- a Charging Session;
- a payment;
- an idle or parking fee;
- a refund;
- account access;
- the App; or
- these Terms,
contact:
Charge N Go Australia Pty Limited
Email: support@chargengo.au
Telephone: 1800 940 799
Website: chargengo.au
Please provide relevant account, Site, Charger and transaction information.
We will acknowledge complaints promptly, investigate them in good faith and aim to provide an outcome within 10 business days.
Where a matter is complex or requires information from another provider, we may require additional time. If so, we will provide an update.
Nothing in these Terms limits your right to contact a state or territory consumer-protection agency, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, a court or a tribunal.
28. General Provisions
If part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be read down or removed to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining Terms will continue to apply.
A delay by either party in exercising a right does not waive that right.
You may not transfer your account or rights under these Terms without our written consent.
We may transfer our rights and obligations as part of a genuine sale, restructure or transfer of the Charge N Go business, provided that doing so does not materially reduce your rights under these Terms.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any pricing or Site conditions presented before a Session begins, constitute the agreement applying to your use of the relevant services.
29. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
You and Charge N Go submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia.
Nothing in this clause prevents you from exercising a right available under applicable consumer law in another Australian state or territory.
