Three (3) minutes of use of PIM Batteries are provided to enable you to check for technical defects. If a defect is found, the PIM Battery must be returned to the Charging Station within those three (3) minutes. After three (3) minutes, the PIM Battery will be deemed to be fully functional and you will be charged for the full rental time. We recommend checking the PIM Battery’s functionality immediately after pick-up. 
  • If you identify any signs of damage, or experience any difficulties with any PIM Battery or Charging Station while using the PIM Battery, you should contact PlugInMove via the Support contact methods available at www.pluginmove.co.uk and in the App’s FAQs.
  • Should you continue to use a PIM Battery that is clearly defective, damaged, or unfit for use, you will be solely responsible, and PlugInMove will not bear any responsibility or liability for, any resultant damage or injury to the body and/or property of you or any third party.
  • You agree to use the PIM Battery for the purpose intended as specified on our Website, and in a considerate, reasonable, and lawful manner. We cannot guarantee that it can fully charge your device.
  • You may not damage, deface (including, without limitation, by marking or affixing anything to the PIM Battery), soil, attempt to repair, disassemble, destroy or conceal the PIM Battery or its cables, labels or the Charging Station, or do anything to the PIM Battery or Charging Station that would prevent or hinder use of the PIM Battery by subsequent users.
  • You must return the PIM Battery to the Charging Station in the same condition in which you received it. If the PIM Battery is returned damaged, or otherwise in a state of disrepair, you will be charged in accordance with clause 7. If you cause or permit damage to occur to the Charging Station, you will be charged in accordance with clause 7.

  • you will be able to return a PIM Battery at all times to the Charging Station from which you rented the PIM Battery, especially where there are numerous Charging Stations at or in the vicinity of one location. In the event this does occur, please check the App for available locations, or contact us for assistance.
  • Subject to these Terms of Use, PIM Batteries are available only as a convenience, and are intended for use solely by eligible users capable of operating the PIM Battery independently.

  • Please note that we may change pricing for this Service as we deem necessary or appropriate, so please check these Terms of Use and the display on the Charging Station every time you rent a PIM Battery. In the event that the rates noted in these Terms of Use are not the same as those displayed on the Charging Station; the rates noted on the Charging Station shall apply.
  • The charge payable by you for rental of the PIM Battery shall be calculated using the time the PIM Battery has been removed from the Charging Station, multiplied by the then-effective charges for each 30 minute or 60 minute or 90 minute period, as appropriate depending on the rate chosen by you at the time of renting the PIM Battery (Rental Charges).
  • You require an account to use PlugInMove’s Services, including rental of a PIM Battery, which requires the provision of details of a valid debit or credit card or electronic wallet (like Apple Pay). Those details are passed to our third-party payment processor, and more details are contained in our Processing Notice. Pre-paid and cash cards cannot be used as a means of payment.
  • If you attempt to block or recall payment of Rental Charges to which we are properly due, we may (without limitation on our remedies or our entitlement to pursue payment of such owed Rental Charges) block your Account so that you may not rent PIM Batteries for any period in the future.
  • When you have finished using the PIM Battery, you can conclude the Rental Period by returning it to a vacant slot on the Charging Station in accordance with the instructions on the Website and the App. We recommend that you verify your return of the PIM Battery has been successful by you checking for a notification on the display screen confirming the return or your receipt of an email acknowledging successful return.
  • The data generated by the App is conclusive evidence of the duration of use of a PIM Battery. PlugInMove will not be responsible for failure to correctly return a PIM Battery in accordance with the relevant instructions, and you will be charged for the ongoing Rental Period and any other charges that are associated with the failure (including, without limitation, a Loss Fee as described in clause 7.8 below).
  • Your use of any PIM Battery is limited to a period of 24 consecutive hours. Any use exceeding this is deemed to be a loss of the PIM Battery and (in addition to the Rental Fee which will continue to be chargeable and owed), you will be charged a fee of £75 (Loss Fee). If you lose a PIM Battery, you must notify us immediately via the App.
  • If you breach clause 6.5 in respect of the Charging Station, you will be responsible for all losses and damages suffered by us or any third party as a direct or indirect result and (in addition, and including, without limitation) fees for repair or replacement of the Charging Station, which we expect to cost at least £2,500 (excluding VAT).

  • In the event that you dispute, or disagree with the amount of, any charge on your credit or debit card, you should contact us at admin@pluginmove.co.uk as soon as you become aware of the disputed charge, and within ten (10) business days.
