The Customer agrees that MobilityPlus, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to release firmware updates for the Charging Stations from time to time. MobilityPlus guarantees the compatibility of the purchased Charging Stations with its platform for a period of five (5) years from Commissioning of the Charging Stations.

Any notification of a defect within the framework of the guarantee must be notified in writing to MobilityPlus within 2 months from the date on which the defect was detected or should have been detected.

MobilityPlus shall not be liable for any interpretation or use made by the Customer of the data it makes available.

16. Force majeure

16.1. The parties are not bound to their obligations in case of force majeure. This refers to any situation that was unforeseeable in advance, or reasonably insurmountable if it were foreseeable, which prevents a Party from fulfilling its contractual obligations in a reasonable manner, or can only be fulfilled with serious losses or difficulties, thus drastically changing the economics of the contract. Force majeure is interpreted in the broadest sense and also includes acts of third parties. The following are examples of force majeure that release MobilityPlus from its contractual obligations: war, embargoes, riots, blockades, civil disturbances, acts of violence, acts of terrorism, technical power shortages due to infrastructure at national or European level, strikes, fires, flooding, explosions, natural disasters, pandemics.

16.2. In the event of force majeure, all obligations of the Parties arising from this Agreement shall be suspended in whole or in part for as long as the force majeure situation lasts. The Parties are hereby not obliged to pay any form of compensation.

16.3. As soon as it appears that the force majeure is of a permanent nature and lasts for more than ninety (90) days, each Party shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement immediately by registered letter, without judicial intervention and without this giving rise to any right to compensation on the part of the other Party. Services already provided by MobilityPlus shall in that case be invoiced proportionally to the Customer.

17. Right of withdrawal

17.1. Only a Consumer has a period of 14 days to withdraw from a Distance Contract relating to the purchase of goods or services without giving reasons.

17.2. The period of 14 days starts on the day the goods are delivered or, in the case of services, the Agreement was concluded. The Consumer must unambiguously inform MobilityPlus by email (at the following address hello@mobilityplus.be) of his/her decision to withdraw from the purchase of the goods or services before the period of 14 days has expired. The Consumer will then receive instruction on how to return, at his/her expense, the Charging Card to MobilityPlus. The Customer may also revoke the Distance Contract by completing the model revocation form, accessible on [website] and transmitting it by e-mail (hello@mobilityplus.be) to MobilityPlus within the revocation period.

17.3. If the Consumer has allowed the provision of services to begin during the withdrawal period, he/she shall pay an amount which is either proportional to what has already been provided at the time of the withdrawal compared to the full performance of the contract or, where possible to identify it, corresponds to the specific services purchased.

18. Transfer of services and subcontracting

18.1. MobilityPlus may at any time transfer or sub-contract all or part of its rights and/or obligations under the Agreement to a third party without the consent of the Customer. This transfer or subcontracting cannot, however, have the effect of reducing the guarantees of the Customer. This can be done without the consent of the Customer and without any compensation.

18.2. The Customer can only transfer its rights and/or obligations arising out of the contract, in whole or in part, to a third party with the prior written consent of MobilityPlus and provided that both the Customer and the transferee have duly completed and signed the transfer form provided for this purpose to MobilityPlus.

19. Applicable law and disputes

19.1. The Agreement and all possible disputes arising therefrom shall be exclusively governed by Belgian law, to the exclusion of any conflict of law rule under which the law of another jurisdiction would be applicable, and to the exclusion of the Vienna Sales Convention.

19.2. Any form of dispute, disagreement or claim arising from or related to the Agreement, or the non-performance, termination or invalidity thereof, may only be submitted to the Corporate Court of Ghent, Ghent Division for commercial matters, or in civil matters to the competent court of the judicial district of East Flanders, Ghent Division. However, if a Consumer is involved in the dispute, the court of the domicile of (one of) the defendant-Consumer will be competent.

20.5. MobilityPlus shall act as an independent contractor in the performance of the Agreement. Nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted so that MobilityPlus would be an agent of the Customer, or the Parties would form a partnership or commercial cooperation agreement.

20.6. The nullity, non-applicability, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or part of a provision of the Agreement shall not affect the operation of the remaining provisions. Such a provision stands autonomously with respect to the other provisions, without affecting the remaining provisions in terms of validity or enforceability. The disputed provision shall be deemed to be inapplicable and shall be replaced by the Parties with a provision which corresponds as closely as possible to the objective and spirit of the provision concerned, the intention of the Parties and the economic balance of the Agreement. (Sub) Titles in this Agreement have a purely illustrative value.

20.8. The failure of either Party to insist upon strict compliance by the other Party with any obligation under this Agreement, regardless of the duration of such failure, shall not constitute a waiver of its right to require strict compliance in the future.

20.9. The Customer declares to have provided MobilityPlus with all the required information prior to the acceptance of the Service by MobilityPlus. The Customer shall immediately notify MobilityPlus in writing of any change in the information which he has declared to MobilityPlus at the conclusion of the Agreement or thereafter (e.g. new address, new company name or new bank direct debit account number). Costs arising from non-compliance with this obligation shall be payable in full by the Customer.

20.10. MobilityPlus reserves the right to modify the General Conditions and the modalities of service at any time.

If these modifications are to the disadvantage of the Customer, the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the contract with MobilityPlus, subject to notification by registered letter within the month following notification of the modification of the General Conditions. This termination shall not give rise to any rights to compensation, subject to the payment by each Party to the other of all sums already due.
