Terms of Service — Jinx Charge Inc.

Entity: Jinx Charge Inc. — incorporated 2026-11-06 under the Canada Business Corporations Act (corporation no. 1836563-6), registered office 8 Red Pine Cres, Tiverton, Ontario N0G 2T0. Effective Date: 2026 · Version: 1.0

1. What this document is — and the three documents that govern you

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Jinx Charge Inc. ("Jinx Charge", "we", "us", "our") website and platform — your account, your conduct on the platform, and your general rights and obligations. They are one of four documents that together govern your relationship with us:

1. These Terms of Service — using the platform, accounts, eligibility, and conduct.
2. Membership & Rewards Terms — the money-facing terms: tiers, billing, the 70/30 vs 100% split, cancellation/refunds, and tax.
3. Privacy Policy (/privacy) — what personal information we collect, why, and how long we keep it, under PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25.
4. Data-Ownership & Express Consent Agreement (signed at signup) — the document that makes Jinx Charge the owner of your charging data (a requirement of the federal Clean Fuel Regulations) and that gives us your express consent to collect it.

By creating an account, you agree to all four. If any conflict, the Data-Ownership & Express Consent Agreement governs your charging data, the Membership & Rewards Terms govern money and billing, the Privacy Policy governs your personal information, and these Terms govern everything else.

2. What we do (in plain English)

Home EV charging produces carbon reductions, but a single homeowner can't register with the government, pay for an independent auditor, or sell credits to fuel suppliers on their own. Jinx Charge pools your home charging with other drivers, handles the auditing and government reporting, creates compliance credits under Section 102 of the federal Clean Fuel Regulations (SOR/2022-140), sells those credits, and returns a share of the value to you.

Two tiers:

The 30% on the Free tier is not our profit. Federal law (Clean Fuel Regulations s.103) requires us to reinvest 100% of credit revenue into EV charging infrastructure or driver incentives — none of it is kept as an administrative fee. The Member subscription is our only revenue.

Important: the rewards we send you are program incentives funded from credit revenue. They do not make you the owner of any carbon credit, and they are not an investment, a security, or a promise of a future payout. Credit values rise and fall with the market and depend on government regulations, audit results, and your province's grid — we describe them as estimates, not guarantees.

3. Eligibility

To create an account you represent and warrant that:

• you are at least the age of majority in your province or territory of residence;
• you are a resident of Canada;
• you own or lawfully control the electric vehicle and the home charging station you enroll; and
• your charging station is installed at a private dwelling-place in Canada that you occupy and that is intended primarily for use by you and your household (not a shared, commercial, fleet, or workplace charger).

For residential credits, your charging station must also have been installed on or before December 31, 2030 — this is a federal regulation cutoff, not our policy.

4. Your account

• You must provide accurate, current information and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You must not impersonate another person, use another person's account, or share your credentials.
• You must not register a charging station or vehicle that is enrolled with any other carbon-credit or clean-fuel program for the same calendar year (see Section 8, No double-counting).

5. Connecting your vehicle or charger

You connect your charger or vehicle through an authorized third-party API (for example, the Tesla Fleet API using OAuth). When you do:

• We never see or store your Tesla (or other manufacturer) password. You authenticate directly on the manufacturer's own sign-in screen, and the manufacturer issues us a revocable token.
• You can revoke our access at any time in your manufacturer's account settings or in your Jinx Charge dashboard.
• We never use your connection to unlock your car, control it while driving, or change its settings. We collect location only during active home charging, never while you drive.

6. Membership & billing (Members only)

If you choose the Member tier:

• Subscription price. CAD $5.99/month or $59/year, plus applicable taxes.
• Auto-renewal is opt-in. By default your membership does not renew automatically. You must affirmatively choose auto-renewal (an unchecked box at signup). We never pre-check it or hide it.
• One-click cancellation. Cancel any time in Account Settings, as easily as you signed up — no phone calls, no retention hurdles.
• Refunds. If you cancel an annual membership, you receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion, subject to applicable law.
• Renewal notice. Where required by law, we send written notice 30–60 days before any renewal.
• Quebec. In Quebec, an annual membership may renew only on an open-ended (month-to-month) basis, and the agreement is presented in French first.

Paying the membership does not purchase or unlock any carbon credit. Credits are created regardless of tier; the tier only changes how the credit value is split (70/30 on Free, 100% on Member). The subscription is always billed separately and is never deducted from your payouts.

7. Rewards & payouts

• Rewards are paid via Interac e-Transfer (or a payment method we notify you of) at the recipient details you provide at cash-out. We collect banking details only at cash-out, never at signup.
• Payouts are discretionary program incentives funded from credit revenue and are subject to the actual credits we create, verify, and sell. An "estimated value" on the dashboard is an estimate, not a balance owed.
• Credit creation depends on ECCC registration, third-party audit, provincial grid factors, and market prices. If a credit is recalled or cancelled by the regulator (for example, because the same electricity was claimed twice), the associated payout is adjusted accordingly.
• You may be responsible for taxes on rewards. If your payouts exceed a threshold, we may be required by law to report them (for example, on a T4A slip). We do not collect your Social Insurance Number at signup; we would only request it if and when a legal reporting obligation actually arises.

8. No double-counting — your key obligation

One kilowatt-hour can be claimed only once, by one program. Under federal law (Clean Fuel Regulations s.23(3)), if the same electricity is claimed by more than one person, that electricity creates no credits for anyone.

You therefore agree that while your charger or vehicle is enrolled with Jinx Charge:

• you will not enroll the same charger or vehicle in any other CFR, provincial clean-fuel, or carbon-credit program for the same calendar year;
• you will not authorize any other aggregator to access the same Tesla/OEM account or charger feed for credit creation; and
• you will notify us immediately if you sell or transfer your vehicle or charger, move, or learn of any other party claiming credits for them.

If you are switching to Jinx Charge from another network, you must formally cancel with that network, revoke its API access, and tell us the dates. We begin claiming only after your prior network's coverage ends (plus a short safety buffer). Breach of this section may result in forfeiture of unpaid rewards and termination of your account.

9. What belongs to whom

• Your charger and car are yours. Nothing in these Terms or the other documents transfers ownership of your physical vehicle or charging station.
• Your personal information is yours, subject to the rights you grant us in the Privacy Policy and the Consent Agreement.
• The charging data and the credits made from it belong to Jinx Charge, as the Clean Fuel Regulations require of a charging-network operator. This is set out in the Data-Ownership & Express Consent Agreement.
• The platform — our website, software, branding, and content — is our property (or our licensors'), and you may not copy, scrape, reverse-engineer, or resell it.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• provide false charger or vehicle information, or misrepresent your charging station's location, ownership, or install date;
• simulate or fabricate charging activity to generate credits;
• attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the platform, our data, or other users' accounts;
• use the platform for any unlawful purpose; or
• misrepresent that Jinx Charge is affiliated with or endorsed by any automaker, charger manufacturer, or government body. (We are independent; trademarks belong to their owners.)

11. Third-party services

Parts of the platform rely on third parties — vehicle/charger manufacturers (e.g., Tesla), telematics providers (e.g., Smartcar), payment processors, and cloud hosts. We are not responsible for their availability, terms, or data practices. Their terms and privacy notices apply to the services they provide you directly.

12. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

• The platform is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", except for warranties that provincial consumer protection law does not allow us to exclude.
• We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, that any particular quantity of credits will be created, or any particular credit value. Credit values depend on regulations and markets outside our control.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or lost profits or credits.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the total rewards paid to you (if any) in the 12 months before the claim.
• Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your non-waivable rights under your province's consumer protection legislation.

13. Termination

• You may stop using the platform and delete your account at any time (see the Account settings "Danger Zone").
• We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms (for example, for double-counting or fabricated charging data).
• Termination does not erase your charging history. Federal law (Clean Fuel Regulations s.166) requires us to retain records that back already-created credits for 10 years, even after you leave. Those records are read-only and can never be used to mint new credits after you leave. This is explained fully in the Privacy Policy and Consent Agreement.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will post the updated Terms with a new version number and effective date and provide reasonable notice. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If a change is materially adverse to you, you may stop using the platform and close your account.

15. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the province or territory in Canada where you reside when you enter this agreement, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein (Quebec residents: Quebec law and federal law). If you reside outside Canada, the laws of the Province of Ontario apply. Any ambiguity is interpreted in your favour.

Nothing in these Terms requires mandatory private arbitration, waives your right to start or join a court, small-claims, or class proceeding, or restricts you from publishing an honest review of Jinx Charge.
