3. Payment via the Gocharge service 

To receive the right to use the Service, the Customer shall authenticate themselves either via an RFID or the mobile application. 


Using the Service via an RFID or the mobile application requires registration to the Service by the Customer. Such registration requires the Customer to provide personal information to Go Platform Limited, such as email address, and to select a password for their account. Additional personal information might be required to be provided by the Customer after registration, subject to ancillary services requested by the Customer, such as name and address details for being able to receive an RFID card, and payment information for the chosen payment method for being able to create a valid invoicing relationship between Go Platform Limited and the Customer and to purchase charging services through the Service.



Charging which takes place via RFID cards or the mobile application is debited to the Customer's payment card or invoiced in arrears by bill, if the latter option is offered to the Customer. 


It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the user information is always correctly registered in the Gocharge service. After registration, the Customer will be sent a one-time registration token by email for confirming the account, after which they will be able to access it. Go Platform Limited is not responsible for incorrectly input data during or after registration. 


By accepting the terms and conditions upon registration to the Service, the Customer accepts that Go Platform Limited will debit the charging fee, including applicable taxes and service charges. The final charging fee, which is based on the time of charging or the amount charged and the predetermined price notified to the Customer before charging, will be calculated once the charging is completed and debited from the Customer.
