NRMA EV Charging Network
Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to the provision of NRMA EV (Electric Vehicle) Network Charging services to any individual user of any EV Charger operated by the NRMA Electric Highways Pty Ltd (ABN 35 659 311 163) ("NRMA", "we", "our" or "us" in these Terms). The Dictionary in paragraph 22 of this document sets out the meaning of capitalised terms used in these Terms.

1 Application of these Terms

1.1 It is a condition of us providing the Services that you accept these Terms. These Terms, as also appearing on our website, and your acceptance of them form the entire agreement between us in relation to the Services and your use of an EV Charger.

1.2 By using an EV Charger, you agree to be bound by these Terms and affirm that you are at least 16 years of age. If you do not agree with any of these Terms, you may not use the EV Charger or receive the benefit of the Services.

1.3 These Terms are legally binding on you and us, and we may amend these Terms from time to time and any changes are effective when posted to this page. We will also notify you of any changes to these Terms via the NRMA EV Charging App prior to receiving the Services. It is your responsibility to check this page regularly for updated versions of the Terms. If you object to any variation to these Terms, your only remedy is to immediately discontinue your use of the Services.

1.4 As long as you comply with these Terms, we grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to park in an EV Charger parking bay, use the EV Charger and receive the benefit of the Services.

2 Payment

2.1 The Fees payable by you for use of the EV Charger are based on the quantity of power you consume while using the EV Charger (on a kWh basis), plus any taxes and additional fees including idle fees and transaction fees where applicable (“Fees”). You agree to pay the Fees, together with any further charges applied by us related to the Services notified prior to you using the Services or the Charger, without set off or deduction. All Fees and charges must be paid via the NRMA EV Charging App through an NRMA EV Charging Account, by authorising automatic or one-time payments.

2.2 When you add a payment method to your NRMA EV Charging Account, such as a credit card, certain information including device location, device identification number, and card information may be shared with our payment processor and our banking partners to process your payment, comply with financial regulations, to prevent fraud, and for troubleshooting any payment issues. Card information is encrypted during the transmission that prevents unauthorized access without specific permissions and we will not have access to the actual card number. For information on how we handle your payment information, please see NRMA’s Privacy Policy here: www.mynrma.com.au/privacy-policy.htm.

2.3 You must maintain at least one valid payment method in your NRMA EV Charging Account. You permit us to store, maintain, and recover funds from your specified payment method in accordance with these Terms. If you fail to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date payment information, including by not updating an invalid or expired payment method, we reserve the right to restrict your access to the functionality of the EV Charger or to suspend your use of the Services.

2.4 You are entirely responsible for all and any activities which occur on your NRMA EV Charging Account as a result of your failing to keep your login information for the NRMA EV Charging App secure and confidential (including unauthorised use of your credit card or other payment details, if applicable). You acknowledge and agree that any Services received via your NRMA EV Charging Account may result in Fees being applied to your saved payment method, including taxes as required by law.

2.5 All payments will be made using the Stripe online payments platform. By using the NRMA EV Charging App, the Services or when making any payment in relation to your use of the EV Charger, you must accept Stripe’s terms and conditions here: https://stripe.com/au/legal/consumer. Your use of the payment services provided by Stripe is subject solely to Stripe’s terms and conditions and we are not responsible to you for your use of their payment platform. You acknowledge that we have no responsibility for and are not liable in relation to any information provided to or via Stripe’s payment platform.

2.6 In the event that any attempt to take payment of the Fees from you should fail using the payment method saved in your NRMA EV Charging Account, you agree that we are permitted to recover directly from you all or less than all of the amount owed for the Services, and any fees, costs or other expenses incurred by us in connection with our collection efforts including banking fees and charges.

2.7 If we are unable to collect payment of our Fees, we may:

2.8 NRMA may alter its pricing model for provision of the Services at any time. Any updated pricing will be on the NRMA EV Charging App and must be accepted by you prior to your receipt of the Services.

3 Refund Policy

3.1 Subject to applicable laws including any rights you may under the Australian Consumer Law, NRMA will only provide you with a refund of the Fee in the event we are unable to continue to provide the Services or if we make a decision that it is reasonable to do so under the circumstances.

4 Idle Fees

4.1 In consideration of others who need to use our EV Chargers, we ask that you move your vehicle when it is finished charging. To encourage this, you may incur an idle fee for the time your vehicle remains parked in an EV Charger parking bay or connected to an EV Charger after it is finished charging. Idle fees may apply at all our EV Chargers. We may waive the idle fee if your vehicle is moved within the period notified to you by text message after it is finished charging. To avoid idle fees, we recommend you monitor your vehicle while using our EV Chargers and encourage you to use the NRMA EV Charging App to track your vehicle’s charge status.

4.2 By remaining parked in an EV Charger charging stall or connected to a charger after your vehicle is finished charging, you accept the idle fee rate communicated to you on the NRMA EV Charging App.

5 Non-NRMA Members

5.1 Non-NRMA members may access our charging network on a pay per use basis. To charge your vehicle if you are a non-NRMA member, you must download the NRMA EV Charging App, create an NRMA EV Charging Account and store a valid payment method in your NRMA EV Charging Account. We will place a temporary payment authorisation hold on your payment method at the start of each charge session, and will release the authorisation when your charge session is complete and successfully paid. NRMA offers NRMA membership that may allow you to charge your vehicle at lower Fees than would otherwise apply. NRMA membership pricing and signup details are available on the NRMA website.

5.2 The pay per use billing unit and rate may change from time to time, and the latest information is provided in the NRMA EV Charging App. NRMA Member and non-member pricing will be shown in NRMA EV Charging App (whichever applies to you). By charging your vehicle in a particular location, you accept the price of charging communicated to you through the NRMA EV Charging App.
