- 00001. IronWatt Service Overview: IronWatt is in the business of, among other things, collecting, on behalf of owners (“Hosts”) of charging stations for electric vehicles, fees charged to users by such Hosts for access to their charging stations. IronWatt offers “IronWatt Cards”, available in the form of radio frequency identification cards as well as digital cards via the IronWatt mobile application or authorized third party, that permit users to access to those charging stations on IronWatt network (each, a “IronWatt Enabled Charging Station”) that such users are authorized to use. IronWatt offers IronWatt Cards branded with the IronWatt name, or, in some instances, with the brand of a third party (each, a “Branding Affiliate”). Regardless of such branding, IronWatt remains solely responsible for the operations of IronWatt, including, IronWatt Cards. Except with respect to the negligence or willful misconduct of a Branding Affiliate, you agree to release and hold harmless all Branding Affiliates from any causes of action related to the IronWatt Cards.
- 00002. IronWatt Account: This Agreement accompanies and is part of each IronWatt account (each, a “IronWatt Account”). IronWatt Cards, as well as redemption codes for credits for digital IronWatt Cards, may be obtained in connection with an offer or program (“Program”) offered by IronWatt or one of its partners (each, a “Program Partner”). If you are activating a IronWatt Card or redemption code pursuant to a Program, you acknowledge and agree that additional program-specific terms and conditions (“Program Terms”) shall apply to your participation in such Program. See here for applicable Program Terms: https://www.IronWatt.net/legal/partner-programs. By opening a IronWatt Account, you acknowledge and consent to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Program Terms, which shall govern your use of your IronWatt Card and IronWatt’s mobile application. To the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and any Program Terms, the Program Terms shall control as it relates to your participation in the Program.
- 00003. You Agree to:
- 00001. Sessions Fees*
- · Pay all the fees (“SESSION FEES”) for access to a charging station initiated by you, or through the use of your IronWatt Card in any manner, including, without limitation, with your IronWatt Card(s) at a station, remotely by a customer service agent at your request or using an application embedded in any smart phone or similar technology.
- · Promptly review your statement and notify IronWatt Customer Service of any questions regarding Session Fees. Fees not questioned within 30 days of notice will be deemed valid.
- · Promptly update online any changes to your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and any applicable credit card information, including, without limitation the applicable credit card number, expiration date and billing address when that new information is first known. (See contact information below). You remain liable for all Session Fees billed to your account until you have notified IronWatt Customer Service of any changes in your IronWatt Card(s) or until you have cancelled your account.
* This Section 3.1 does not apply to Organization Users. “Organization User” is a IronWatt Account user whose Sessions Fees will be paid via an authorized third party (e.g., fleet management company, payment provider, etc.) under a separate written agreement with IronWatt (“Third Party Payment Provider”).

When using your IronWatt Card for payment of Session Fees, your card will be read by the applicable IronWatt Charging Station and a record of your transaction will be created. Session Fees will be charged to your account in accordance with the price configured by the Host. It is your responsibility to be aware of the price charged by the Host for access to the applicable IronWatt Enabled Charging Station. If you use, or allow another person to use, your IronWatt Card on any IronWatt Enabled Charging Station, you agree to pay the fees specified by the Host. You agree that IronWatt may share with the Host any information contained in this IronWatt Account Agreement for purposes of processing and collecting session fees, and enforcing Network policies.
* This Section 4 does not apply to Organization Users
- 00005. Minimum Account Balances, Fees and Charges; Cancellation *:
- 00001. Although IronWatt takes a credit card number when you apply for a IronWatt Account, your credit card will not be charged until the first time you use your IronWatt Card at a IronWatt Enabled Charging Station that requires payment. Except as otherwise set forth in applicable Program Terms, at that time, your account will be charged an initial prepaid balance in the amount of ten dollars ($10.00) and the session fees associated with your charging session will be deducted from that balance. In addition, you authorize IronWatt to, from time to time, replenish your account, through a charge to your credit card, in an amount equal to the greater of (i) ten dollars ($10.00) or (ii) your average monthly fees, each time your account balance falls below the replenishment threshold (currently $5.00), until you have notified IronWatt Customer Service of any changes to your IronWatt Card(s) or until cancellation of your IronWatt Account. To avoid additional charges on your IronWatt Account, you must notify IronWatt Customer Service or cancel your IronWatt Account prior to the next charge. You may cancel your IronWatt Account by e-mailing support@IronWatt.com.
- 00002. You agree that your replenishment amount and replenishment threshold are both subject to change based on your average monthly usage.
- 00003. You agree to waive all interest or other benefits, if any, which may accrue on any prepaid balances in your IronWatt Card. In the event that the balance in your IronWatt Account cannot be replenished because payment on your credit card is declined, or in the event of any other failure by you to maintain the required balance or properly maintain your account, IronWatt may close your account and, in the case of any negative account balance, institute collection proceedings in order to collect any unpaid balance and, at IronWatt’s sole option, all fees, costs or other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by IronWatt in connection with its collection efforts.
* This Section 5 does not apply to Organization Users.
- 00006. Recurring Fees; Cancellation *: If you create a IronWatt Account, then you authorize IronWatt or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until you have notified IronWatt Customer Service of any changes to your IronWatt Card(s) or until cancellation of your IronWatt Account, all accrued sums set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere in these Terms. To avoid additional charges on your IronWatt Account, you must notify IronWatt Customer Service or cancel your IronWatt Account prior to the next charge. You may cancel your IronWatt Account by e-mailing support@IronWatt.com.
* This Section 6 does not apply to Organization Users.
- 00007. Account Suspension: In the event that the balance in your IronWatt Account cannot be replenished because payment on your credit card is declined, or in the event of any other failure by you to maintain the required balance or properly maintain your account, IronWatt may close your account and, in the case of any negative account balance, institute collection proceedings in order to collect any unpaid balance and, at IronWatt’s sole option, all fees, costs or other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by IronWatt in connection with its collection efforts.
- 00008. IronWatt Cards:
- 00001. If a IronWatt Card fails to operate for reasons other than abuse or improper use and is returned to the IronWatt Customer Service Center, IronWatt will replace that IronWatt Card at no charge.
- 00002. If a IronWatt Card is lost or stolen, please report such loss or event online, immediately (by deleting your card from your IronWatt Account), or, if you do not have access to the internet, inform IronWatt Customer Service immediately (see contact information at the end of this document). You remain liable for all Session Fees initiated with your IronWatt Card until you have notified the Customer Service Center that your IronWatt Card has been lost or stolen.
- 00003. Your IronWatt Card usage is subject to the terms of the IronWatt Privacy Policy. For example, you agree that your IronWatt Card usage may be used by IronWatt to analyze averages, trends, and other anonymous patterns of usage, as per the IronWatt Privacy Policy.

- 00018. Limitation of Liability:
- 00001. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE IronWatt ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY IronWatt ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS.

- 00004. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER, LIMITATIONS AND RELEASE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
- 00019. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
- 00001. Generally: Except as described in Section2 and 19.3, you and IronWatt agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND IronWatt ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
- 00002.
- 00003. Exceptions: Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
- 00004. Opt-Out: If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 19 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to IronWatt, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 254 East Hacienda Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once IronWatt receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 19 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 20. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
- 00005. Arbitrator: This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.org, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting IronWatt.
- 00006. Commencing Arbitration: Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). IronWatt’s address for Notice is: IronWatt, Inc., 254 East Hacienda Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or IronWatt may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, IronWatt will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.
- 00007. Arbitration Proceedings: Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or IronWatt must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
- 00008. Arbitration Relief: Except as provided in Section 8, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by IronWatt before an arbitrator was selected, IronWatt will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
- 00009. No ClassActions: YOU AND IronWatt AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and IronWatt agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
- 00010. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision: If IronWatt makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to IronWatt’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with IronWatt will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
- 00011. Enforceability: If Section8 or the entirety of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable, or if IronWatt receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

You should take steps to keep your information safe (including your password) and to log out of your account after use. Where we have provided you, or you have chosen, a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Website, or a IronWatt RFID Card to access charge stations, you are responsible for keeping your password and IronWatt RFID Card confidential. You must not share these with anyone or store them in a way that may allow a third party to access them. If that happens, you agree to report it immediately to privacy@IronWatt.com. IronWatt cannot be held responsible for your failure to keep your password or IronWatt RFID Card secure.

We do not engage in such activity; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased or leased goods or services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by emailing privacy@IronWatt.com. Please note we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request. Once verified, we will maintain your request in the event our practices change.
