    releases any unused pre-authorised funds.

    reporting. Information submitted through the App or Website may not be confidential unless covered by our Privacy Policy.
  14. Failed Charging. If a Charge Point fails to provide electricity after payment has been taken (including the pre-authorisation fee), the transacting bank will automatically refund you. However, on the rare occasion that there is a system error, you must contact us within 60 days (of the transaction date) to notify us of any outstanding
    refunds. If confirmed, we may issue a refund or credit. Processing times depend on
    your card issuer.
