Charging Program Agreement

1. How the Charging Program Agreement Works

By joining the Charging Program Agreement, you are allowing WattsApp to act as the charging network operator for your enrolled chargers under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR).

This means WattsApp will:

• Collect and securely manage EV charging and electricity usage data;
• Use that data to calculate, verify, and report charging activity under the CFR program;
• Work directly with regulators, auditors, and verification bodies where required.

WattsApp operates independently. We are not acting as your agent, partner, or representative outside of this specific regulatory role.

2. Charging Data & Ownership

What data is involved?

When you participate, charging session data and related analytics are generated through the Platform.

Who owns the data?

To keep the program compliant and auditable:

• WattsApp owns the aggregated and processed charging data used for CFR reporting and verification.
• You keep ownership of your physical charging equipment.

By participating, you allow WattsApp to:

• Collect, store, analyze, and aggregate charging data;
• Submit required data to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and authorized auditors;
• Use the data for regulatory compliance, audits, and credit creation.

These data rights continue even if you leave the program, for data already collected.

3. Clean Fuel Regulation Credits & Rewards

Who owns the CFR credits?

All Clean Fuel Regulation credits generated from charging activity enrolled through WattsApp:

• Belong exclusively to WattsApp;
• Cannot be claimed, sold, transferred, or monetized by you.

What about rewards or payments?

If WattsApp offers you payments, rebates, or incentives:

• They are rewards for participation, not ownership of credits;
• They do not make you a credit holder or credit creator;
• They do not create a partnership, joint venture, or profit-sharing arrangement.

4. No Double Counting

To protect everyone in the program:

• Your enrolled charging activity cannot be used in any other carbon or environmental credit program;
• The same data cannot be shared with another CFR aggregator.

Please notify us right away if:

• Someone else claims rights to the same charging data;
• Your equipment ownership or control changes;
• Your regulatory status changes.

Using the same data twice is a serious issue and would be considered a material breach.

5. Your Consent

By joining the Charging Rewards program, you give WattsApp permission to:

• Access charger data through APIs, OCPP, CTs, gateways, or similar systems;
• Store and process that data for CFR purposes;
• Share required data with regulators, auditors, and verifiers.

This consent:

• Applies for as long as you participate;
• Is not dependent on receiving payments or incentives;
• Continues for historical data even after you exit the program.

6. Audits & Recordkeeping

CFR programs are audited — sometimes years later.

You agree to:

• Provide reasonable documentation if requested (such as charger ownership or site details);
• Cooperate with audits or verification reviews;
• Keep accurate records related to your enrolled equipment and charging activity.

If incorrect or misleading information is provided, you are responsible for any resulting issues or losses.

7. Rewards & Payments

If WattsApp offers incentives or rewards:

• They are discretionary, variable, and not guaranteed;
• They depend on successful credit issuance and monetization;
• They may change, pause, or end without notice.

WattsApp is not responsible for:

• Delays in credit issuance;
• Changes in credit market value;
• Regulatory changes affecting eligibility or value.

8. Changes in the Law

Environmental regulations evolve.

You acknowledge that:

• CFR rules or interpretations may change;
• Credits may be adjusted, rejected, or revoked retroactively.

WattsApp is not responsible for regulatory or policy changes beyond its control.

9. Leaving the Program

Either you or WattsApp may end participation in accordance with the Platform Agreements.

If participation ends:

• WattsApp may continue using historical data already collected for regulatory and audit purposes;
• Any credits already created or in progress remain WattsApp’s property.

Key protections (data rights, credit ownership, audits, liability limits) continue after termination.

10. Protection for WattsApp

You agree to protect and compensate WattsApp if issues arise due to:

• Incorrect or misleading information you provide;
• Double counting or duplicate program enrollment;
• Failure to cooperate with audits or verification.

11. Limits on Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law:

• WattsApp is not responsible for indirect or consequential damages;
• Our total liability under this Agreement is limited to amounts paid to you (if any) in the previous 12 months.

12. No Partnership

Participating in the Charging Rewards program does not create:

• A partnership;
• A joint venture;
• A fiduciary or agency relationship.

13. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and applicable federal laws.

14. Entire Agreement & Priority

This Agreement, together with the Terms & Conditions of Service and Privacy Policy, represents the full agreement for the Charging Rewards program.

If there’s a conflict:

1. This Charging Rewards Agreement applies first
2. Then the Terms & Conditions
3. Then the Privacy Policy

15. Electronic Acceptance

By creating an account, or using the Platform in any way, you confirm that:

• You have read and understood this Agreement;
• You agree to be legally bound;
• Electronic acceptance is the same as signing a paper contract.
