Thank you for your interest in the APS SmartCharge program (“APS SmartCharge” or the “Program”) that is being made available to Arizona Public Service (“APS”) by APS’s service provider Geotab Inc., carrying on business as Geotab Energy (“Geotab Energy” or “we”).

Your participation in the Program is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions” or this “Agreement”). Your participation in the APS SmartCharge, however, is completely voluntary.

PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAM MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. If you are not at least 18 years old OR you do not agree with any of these Terms and Conditions, including the Privacy Policies and wireless terms linked below, do not participate in the Program. 

BY DOWNLOADING, USING, OR ACCESSING ANY OF GEOTAB ENERGY’s DEVICES, SOFTWARE, SERVICES AND OTHER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING UPDATES AND UPGRADES THEREOF (COLLECTIVELY “PRODUCTS”), OR BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM YOU CONCLUDE A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BASED ON THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH GEOTAB ENERGY ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF.

Geotab Energy reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any modifications to these Terms and Conditions will be made available for viewing at the following web address: https://www.smartchargerewards.com/aps/terms/. Please check this page periodically. Your continued participation in the Program after any changes will constitute your acceptance of any modifications to these Terms and Conditions.

Overview of the Program 

Geotab Energy is the owner of the SmartCharge RewardsTM program.

APS has engaged Geotab Energy to provide APS with SmartCharge RewardsTM Products in order for APS to learn more about Electric Vehicles (EVs) that are being charged in its service territory, to learn more about the EV driving and charging patterns and preferences of EV drivers, and to provide an incentive for EV owners to charge their vehicles during times that are beneficial for APS. If you are selected to participate in SmartCharge RewardsTM, you will either be provided with a Geotab branded ‘GO’ Device or equivalent (“Connected Car Device”) for installation in the on-board diagnostics port of your vehicle OR prompted to connect your own device [charging station (“3rd Party Device”) or vehicle manufacturer (“OEM”) account] at the discretion of Geotab Energy and APS. Either type will be considered the participant’s “Device” or “Devices” for the purposes of participation in this program.

By connecting a Device to your SmartCharge RewardsTM account, you permit Geotab Energy to access data from that Device for the purpose of your participation in this program as described below in the Data Collected by the Device; Privacy section.

Each applicant whose applications are accepted by APS and who agree to these Terms and Conditions will be a participant in the Program (“Participant” and together the “Participants”). Participants may be eligible to earn cash equivalent rewards known as “SmartCharge RewardsTM” for things such as: joining the Program, activating a Device, sharing data, and charging at specific times of day. Each program will have a specific rewards structure which will be communicated to the participants upon joining the program.

During and after your participation in the Program, you may be asked to participate in follow up surveys, studies, audits, evaluations or verifications conducted by Geotab Energy or APS or their agents or service providers in connection with the Program. While we hope that you choose to participate in these surveys, your participation will be completely voluntary.

Participants will be able to view certain data about their vehicle charging behavior and track her/his SmartCharge RewardsTM through personal log-in access to the Geotab Energy SmartCharge RewardsTM portal (the “Portal”). To log into the Portal, Participants must have access to a computer, smartphone, or other mobile device, with Internet access.

Vehicle Manufacturer (“OEM”) Account 

To connect your OEM Account to SmartCharge RewardsTM without the need of a physical device provided by APS, you will be asked to input your OEM username and password (“Credentials”) into an interface within your SmartCharge Rewards account portal. This information will be used to retrieve an authentication token unique to you. The authentication token will be stored and used to retrieve your vehicle data. The Credentials are not saved within SmartCharge RewardsTM.

SmartCharge RewardsTM is unable to remotely start a vehicle as Credentials are not stored.

OEM authentication tokens can be revoked at any time by changing your OEM password. This will result in SmartCharge RewardsTM no longer being able to access your vehicle data unless and until you provide a new OEM authentication token again. You accept all responsibility for safeguarding your OEM password and abiding by any agreed upon contractual obligations between you and your vehicle manufacturer.

Data Collected by the Device; Privacy 

To conduct the Program and provide participants with the Products and services outlined in this Agreement, facilitate appropriate customer service, and to enhance and improve Products and services, Geotab Energy will collect information through the Device.

Any Device type will collect at minimum the following information to ensure accurate calculation of charging information:

  • About your Charging – Charging start and end date and time, charging power (kW), charging energy (kWh), GPS coordinates or address of where the charging session occurred.

When possible, a Device may also collect additional information to enhance participant experience, provide additional services to APS, or enhance and improve Products and services. This information may include:

  • About your EV – VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), make, model and model year.
  • About your driving – basic trip metrics such as duration, times, energy consumption (gas/diesel and electricity), and GPS.
  • GPS data collected while driving is not stored in the SmartCharge Rewards product and is not shared with your utility.

A subset of the collected data outlined above will be used to populate an online dashboard made available for you to view in the SmartCharge RewardsTM Portal (aps.smartchargerewards.com) so that you can monitor your own vehicle’s charging and driving.

Geotab Energy will have access to all the collected data. APS will have access to some, and possibly all, of this data, depending upon what data APS deems pertinent to the goal of its participating in a SmartCharge RewardsTM program.

Data that is collected through the Connected Car Device will be erased from the device once the data is transferred to Geotab Energy. The data collected by the Device is encrypted when transmitted to Geotab Energy servers. Data will also be encrypted when Geotab Energy sends it to APS.

In addition to the data listed above, APS and Geotab Energy will collect the information you provide on your Program application and any surveys or other Program evaluations that you choose to complete and submit during your participation in the Program.

Collected information that is transferred to Geotab Energy and APS will be retained by Geotab Energy and APS for the period necessary to fulfill the service to you and satisfy APS and SmartCharge RewardsTM objectives.

Please see the SmartCharge RewardsTM Privacy Statement available at smartchargerewards.com/privacy-policy for further information on data collected by Geotab Energy and how it may be used by Geotab Energy. Please also see APS’s Privacy Statement which is available at www.aps.com/en/Utility/Regulatory-and-Legal/Privacy-Policy for further information on how APS collects and may use and share your information, including any of the above-described data and information that APS receives about you in connection with your participation in the SmartCharge RewardsTM program.

Without limiting the terms of the Privacy Policies referenced above, Geotab Energy and APS may use the information they obtain about you through your participation in the Program, including data collected through the Device provided to you (collectively, “Participant Information”), in order (a) to operate, administer, market, evaluate, analyze, change or improve the Program, the Devices and the SmartCharge RewardsTM Portal, and (b) to prepare and present general, aggregated or anonymized results and information about the Program to third parties, including governmental entities such as public service commissions. Geotab Energy and APS may also use and publish information regarding your participation in the Program, your use of the Device, and your use of the SmartCharge RewardsTM Portal as long as the information is presented in an aggregated or anonymized format (i.e., in a manner that does not identify you).

How to Participate in the SmartCharge RewardsTM Program 

If you wish to participate in SmartCharge RewardsTM, you must do the following:

  1. Complete an application which can be found at smartchargerewards.com/aps. The SmartCharge RewardsTM team will review your application to confirm eligibility. If accepted, Geotab Energy will send you a confirmation email which will ask you to create a SmartCharge RewardsTM account.
  2. Connected Car Device(s) must be activated and installed, or OEM Account linked to the Portal, before data can be collected and before a Participant can earn any SmartCharge RewardsTM. If you do not activate and/or install the Device(s) within 7 days of receipt, you will receive a notice, via email, reminding you to install and activate the Device.

You will be withdrawn from the Program if you do not link your OEM Account or install and activate your Connected Car Device within 3 weeks of receipt. If you decide not to install and activate the Device, you must return the Device so that it may be provided to another Participant. Please email support@smartchargerewards.com to arrange for device returning instructions or use the returning shipping label provided with your device. Please do not return any Device to Geotab Energy that you installed in a vehicle.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU HAVE PROVIDED US IS ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE, AND CAN RECEIVE EMAIL MESSAGES FROM THE PROGRAM.

The Device: How it Works 

The Connected Car Device is installed by plugging it into the OBD II Port of a battery electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (or its proprietary diagnostics connector). Participants with an OEM proprietary diagnostic connection will also receive (free of charge) a special adapter that is needed to install the Connected Car Device. Device installation is easy to do. PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION. If you require any assistance with locating the OBD II Port, OEM proprietary diagnostics connector, or need installation directions, please refer to the installation instructions available at smartchargerewards.com/support.

Geotab Energy and APS will not be held responsible for data losses or rewards losses resulting from software updates to vehicles or 3rd party devices from the manufacturer. Geotab Energy will make every reasonable attempt to make the SmartCharge Rewards system compatible with changes made by manufacturers of vehicles and 3rd party devices on our supported list but cannot guarantee whether compatibility will be possible or timely following a change by the manufacturer.

Withdrawal from the Program; Termination of the Program 

Your participation in SmartCharge RewardsTM is completely voluntary so you are free to withdraw from the Program at any time. To withdraw from the Program, remove the Device from your EV and notify Geotab Energy of your withdrawal at support@smartchargerewards.com.

For each month that you do not charge an EV with a properly installed Device in the APS service territory, you will receive an email inquiring about your continued interest in participating in the Program. If you do not charge an EV with a properly installed Device in the APS service territory for three (3) consecutive months, you will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Program.

Once the Program terminates or a Participant withdraws from, or is deemed withdrawn from, the Program, continued collection of data from the EV(s) in which a Device(s) is installed will stop within 20 business days after termination or withdrawal in order to protect the privacy of Participants.

A Participant (i) who withdraws from the Program voluntarily or is deemed to have withdrawn due to limited charging activity (as described above), or (ii) if the Program is terminated, will continue to have post-termination access to the Portal for ninety (90) days. Once a Participant no longer has access to the Portal, the Participant will no longer be able to view previously recorded data from their EV or SmartCharge RewardsTM redemption codes and links.

In addition to the above, APS or Geotab Energy, by sending an email notice to the Participant, reserve the right to immediately terminate Program participation of anyone who engages in any fraudulent activity or actions in violation of these Terms and Conditions. This type of termination will result in Participant’s immediate loss of access to the Portal and any accumulated SmartCharge RewardsTM.

How to Earn SmartCharge RewardsTM 

During the Program, SmartCharge RewardsTM may be earned on a per-vehicle basis by charging at particular times or engaging in other activities like completing a survey or referring a friend. SmartCharge RewardsTM will begin to be calculated and accrued once the Device is activated in Geotab Energy’s SmartCharge RewardsTM portal. Geotab Energy and APS reserve the right to add, change or remove activities for which SmartCharge RewardsTM may be earned and/or the number of SmartCharge RewardsTM earned thereby at any time. For details about how you can earn SmartCharge RewardsTM in your program, please see smartchargerewards.com/aps. Please check this page periodically for changes to how SmartCharge RewardsTM may be earned.

How to Redeem SmartCharge RewardsTM 

On the 15th day of each month (or the next business day), the SmartCharge RewardsTM earned for the previous month will be calculated based on 1,000 SmartCharge RewardsTM points equaling $1.00 and are automatically paid via PayPal. The available redemption options may change at any time at the discretion of Geotab Energy and APS.

On the 15th day of each month (or the next business day), Participants will receive an automated email notification to tell them whether they have earned SmartCharge RewardsTM during the previous month. If rewards points were not earned during the previous month, the email notification will remind the participant to charge their vehicle in the APS service territory and to maintain the Device installed in the vehicle.

APS and Geotab Energy are not responsible for late, lost, stolen, incomplete, undelivered, illegible, damaged, mutilated, misdirected financials rewards (including the delivery of electronic gift cards) or for returned or undeliverable emails notifying you about your SmartCharge RewardsTM balance or for other errors or problems of any kind (including email delivery issues and deletions cause by spam filters that limit email delivery) whether human, mechanical, electronic, network, computer, typographical, printing or otherwise relating to or in connection with the offer, including, without limitation, errors or problems which may occur in connection with the administration of the offer or the processing of request.

Expiration of SmartCharge RewardsTM 

SmartCharge RewardsTM which have been redeemed (paid through PayPal or converted to an electronic gift card or code) do not expire except as per terms established by the program financial rewards redemption partners; please review these other terms. Withdrawn participants will have 90 days from the termination date to redeem rewards or they will be lost if contact details are not accurate.

No Transfer of SmartCharge RewardsTM; Verification of SmartCharge RewardsTM 

You cannot combine or transfer SmartCharge RewardsTM with other Participants and you cannot transfer or sell SmartCharge RewardsTM. Any attempt to combine, transfer or sell SmartCharge RewardsTM will result in your disqualification from the Program and forfeiture of all SmartCharge RewardsTM earned. If APS or Geotab Energy has reason to believe that you have violated these Terms and Conditions, they may terminate your participation in the Program and take any other or additional action they deem appropriate in their discretion.

All SmartCharge RewardsTM earned in this Program will be subject to verification by APS and/or Geotab Energy, whose decisions are final and binding. If you believe that you earned SmartCharge RewardsTM that were not properly accrued to your account, please contact the Program’s customer service at support@smartchargerewards.com. All Program decisions by APS and/or Geotab Energy regarding the awarding of SmartCharge RewardsTM are final and binding. Earned SmartCharge RewardsTM and/or electronic gift cards or codes that are subsequently determined to have been invalid for any reason are subject to forfeiture or return/repayment, as applicable, and, depending on the circumstances, Program disqualification.

Taxes 

You are responsible for paying all taxes, if any, associated with your receipt of SmartCharge RewardsTM or any other thing of value in connection with the Program.

Participant Information and Security Measures 

You are solely responsible for your failure to keep all user identifications and passwords (your “Login Credentials”) secure. You must notify APS and Geotab Energy immediately about any breach of security or unauthorized use of your SmartCharge RewardsTM Portal account. If we suspect, in our reasonable opinion, fraudulent or unauthorized activity on your account, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our website or any applicable services or both and will contact you to advise of this decision.
