CLUB ROULEZ ÉLECTRIQUE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
PREAMBLE
Club Roulez Électrique enables owners and authorized users of an eligible charger to participate in a program under which data from charging their electric vehicle at home is used to calculate and record Roulez Électrique Points (Program). Subject to compliance with the applicable conditions, these Points may be converted into a payment or another form of compensation in accordance with the terms then in effect. At the time of conversion, each Roulez Électrique Point represents one Canadian cent ($0.01). The Program is offered and administered by Roulez Électrique Inc. (“Roulez Électrique”) and is intended, among other things, to reduce the costs associated with using an electric vehicle.
Participation in the Production or Beta Phase
You may participate in the Program in its production phase or its Beta phase (Beta), depending on the type of charger you register.
Chargers identified in the Application as being in the Beta phase participate in the Program in that phase until we inform you that they have been admitted to the production phase. All other chargers participate in the Program in the production phase.
This Agreement applies to your participation in the Program whether your charger is in the production phase or the Beta phase. However, certain provisions apply only to chargers identified in the Application as being in the Beta phase.
Our Commitment to You
We believe that your participation must be based on trust, transparency and informed consent.
For this reason, we undertake to:
- clearly explain how the Program works;
- protect your personal information in accordance with applicable laws;
- limit the collection of information to what is necessary and permitted by law;
- inform you of any material change to the Program;
- answer your questions transparently.
How Does the Environmental Monetization of Your Charging Work?
When you charge your electric vehicle at your residence using a connected charger, the data associated with that charging may, in certain circumstances, enable the creation of Carbon Credits recognized under Canada’s _Clean Fuel Regulations_.
In many cases, the applicable rules provide that the reporting or monetization rights associated with this data initially belong to the entity that operates the platform or network from which the charging data is generated and hosted, generally the manufacturer of your charger or its technology platform provider.
That entity may then choose to claim the Carbon Credits associated with your charging itself.
When it does not claim them, you may join the Program to allow us to access the charging data associated with your charger, collect and validate it, and use it in an effort to have the Carbon Credits associated with your residential charging recognized, reported, aggregated, transferred or monetized.
The purpose of the Program is to share with you a portion of the net economic value that may be generated by Carbon Credits attributable to your home charging, in order to reduce the costs associated with using your electric vehicle. This portion of the potential net economic value is recorded as Roulez Électrique Points in your Club Roulez Électrique Account.
The Roulez Électrique Points accumulated in your account during a calendar year may, subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, be converted into a payment or compensation generally paid near the end of the summer of the following year. For illustrative purposes only, for 2026, we currently expect to award approximately thirteen (13) Roulez Électrique Points per eligible kWh. Since each Point represents one Canadian cent ($0.01) at the time of conversion, thirteen (13) Points then correspond to a conversion amount of thirteen cents ($0.13) per eligible kWh. If all conditions are met, we currently expect to allow the conversion of Points accumulated in 2026 around September 2027.
We use the other portion of the net economic value generated by your eligible charging exclusively to establish, develop and maintain the Program, and to support the development of our charging infrastructure intended primarily for occupants of private dwellings and the public in Canada.
In certain circumstances, we may be unable to have the Carbon Credits associated with your home charging recognized, received or monetized. In such a case, we will not be able to convert the Roulez Électrique Points into any compensation whatsoever for the charging concerned.
This may occur in particular in the following cases:
- the manufacturer of your charger claims the Carbon Credits itself;
- the data has already been used in another program during the same calendar year;
- the charger or data is deemed ineligible, incomplete, unverifiable or insufficient;
- an auditor or authority refuses or reduces the Carbon Credits;
- the Carbon Credits cannot be sold; or
- changes to the applicable rules, the manufacturer’s practices, verification requirements or market conditions prevent us from obtaining the expected net economic value.
When Charging Data is transmitted directly to Roulez Électrique’s OCPP server, Roulez Électrique acts as the operator of the server receiving that data for the administration of the Program, subject to the applicable requirements of the Clean Fuel Regulations and any other applicable law.
Certain Eligible Chargers may be configured to transmit their Charging Data directly to the OCPP server designated by Roulez Électrique. In such a case, Roulez Électrique collects this data for the administration of the Program. Depending on the circumstances and subject to the requirements of the Clean Fuel Regulations and other applicable laws, this configuration may make Roulez Électrique the entity operating the system from which the Charging Data is generated for the purposes of the Program.
What Is Important to Understand
The Program:
- is not a paid subscription
- does not require you to purchase a product or service
- does not deprive you of any ownership rights in your vehicle or charger
- does not prevent you from using your charger as you wish

7. CHARGER CONNECTION AND ACCESS TO CHARGING DATA
Charger Connection and Access to Data
By connecting an Eligible Charger to the Program, whether through a manufacturer account, a compatible technology interface, an application programming interface (API), the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) or any other communication or integration method accepted by Roulez Électrique, you authorize us to receive, collect, synchronize, access, process, use, retain and, where necessary, transmit the Charging Data required for the purposes of the Program.
When your Eligible Charger is configured to communicate directly with the OCPP server designated by Roulez Électrique, you acknowledge that the Charging Data is transmitted directly to that server in accordance with your charger’s configuration settings.
This authorization allows us, among other things, to administer your participation in the Program, verify the eligibility of the Charging Data, calculate Roulez Électrique Points and exercise the rights and carry out the activities provided for in this Agreement with respect to the Charging Data and Carbon Credits. It remains valid throughout your participation in the Program, subject to the provisions of this Agreement that, by their nature, survive its termination or the end of your participation.
Insufficient, Incomplete or Interrupted Data
The operation of the Program depends on the availability, accuracy, integrity and reliability of the Charging Data transmitted by your Eligible Charger, whether that data is obtained through an API, an OCPP connection or any other system, platform, network, technology interface or third-party provider used in connection with the Program.
If an Eligible Charger, manufacturer account, OCPP connection, API, OCPP server, technology interface, network, Internet connection, third-party provider or any other component of the technical infrastructure ceases to provide sufficient, reliable, complete or usable Charging Data, including because of an outage, interruption, technical failure, configuration change, loss of connectivity or incompatibility, we may, among other things:
a) temporarily suspend the calculation of Roulez Électrique Points;
b) exclude certain Charging Data;
c) request additional information or verification;
d) temporarily or permanently suspend the participation of the Eligible Charger until compliant transmission of the Charging Data is restored.
Compatibility and Availability of Integrations
The compatibility of an Eligible Charger or technology integration may vary depending in particular on the charger model, firmware, supported OCPP protocol version, configuration settings, relevant territory, available interfaces, permissions granted, account settings, OCPP server requirements, or changes made by a manufacturer, platform operator, service provider or any other third party.
Accordingly, we do not guarantee that all Eligible Chargers, technology interfaces, APIs, OCPP connections, OCPP protocol versions or third-party services will remain compatible, available or fully functional at all times.
Where reasonably necessary for technical, operational, contractual, regulatory or security reasons, we may add, modify, suspend or remove a technology integration, API, feature, OCPP protocol version, OCPP server or the compatibility of an Eligible Charger.
8. CHARGERS CONFIGURED USING THE OCPP PROTOCOL
Certain Eligible Chargers may be connected to the Application using the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
When an Eligible Charger is configured to communicate with the OCPP server designated by Roulez Électrique, the provisions of this section are in addition to those of section 7 and prevail in the event of an inconsistency relating to this connection method.
By configuring your charger using the OCPP protocol, you acknowledge in particular that:
a) the charger transmits the Charging Data directly to the OCPP server designated by Roulez Électrique or to that of its service provider in accordance with the configuration applied to the charger;
b) this configuration may prevent, in whole or in part, the simultaneous transmission of the same Charging Data to the manufacturer’s cloud server or to any other platform, depending on the charger’s technical characteristics or the manufacturer’s choices;
c) certain features, analyses, histories, services, integrations, mobile applications or online services of the manufacturer or third parties may be limited, modified, suspended or become unavailable, in whole or in part;
d) it is your responsibility, before configuring the charger, to verify that this connection method meets your needs and remains compatible with the services of the manufacturer or any other provider you use;
e) the OCPP protocol permits the transmission of Charging Data only from the time the Eligible Charger is configured to communicate with the OCPP server designated by Roulez Électrique. Charging sessions completed before this configuration are therefore not transmitted to the Program and cannot be recovered or recorded retroactively;
f) subject to the Program Terms, you may later restore your charger’s native or previous configuration. From the time of that change, Charging Data that is no longer transmitted to Roulez Électrique’s OCPP server can no longer be used in connection with the Program. To ensure the stability, integrity and security of its technology infrastructure, Roulez Électrique may also terminate your charger’s eligibility as of that reconfiguration. A charger removed from the Program in this manner may be registered again only with the written authorization of Roulez Électrique;
g) any change to the charger’s firmware, OCPP configuration, security certificate, endpoint, implementation of the OCPP protocol or any other setting that may affect communication with the OCPP server may interrupt or compromise the transmission of Charging Data and, consequently, its eligibility under the Program.
Roulez Électrique does not guarantee that all chargers advertised as compatible with the OCPP protocol will remain compatible at all times. Changes to OCPP protocol versions, firmware, security requirements, manufacturers’ cloud services or regulatory requirements may require technical adjustments or result in the temporary or permanent suspension of a charger’s eligibility until a compatible solution becomes available.
9. ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION AND PREVENTION OF DOUBLE COUNTING
Authorization to Verify To verify your eligibility for the Program, prevent Double Counting and ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, you authorize us to conduct reasonably necessary verifications with third parties concerning your Eligible Charger, service address, account, serial number, Charging Data or associated Carbon Credits. These verifications may include determining whether the same data, equipment or attributes are already registered, claimed or used under another rewards, compliance or Carbon Credit program.
Ineligibility, Duplicate Registration or Lack of Authorization If duplicate registration, a duplicate claim, data incompatibility, lack of authorization or any other situation that may affect eligibility for the Program is identified, the situation may result in the corrective measures provided for in this Agreement, to the extent applicable.
10. PROHIBITED CONDUCT
Prohibited Conduct
In connection with your use of the Application and participation in the Program, you undertake not to:
- register an Eligible Charger without holding the rights, authorizations or consents required for its registration and the communication of its associated Charging Data;
- provide false, misleading, incomplete or inaccurate information, or falsify Charging Data, location data, meter readings, proof of ownership, supporting documents or identifying information;
- circumvent, disable, compromise or attempt to circumvent security mechanisms, eligibility controls, verification procedures, Double Counting prevention measures or any other control implemented in connection with the Program;
- use robots, scripts, automated programs, technical processes or other unauthorized means to access the Application, manipulate data, artificially generate Roulez Électrique Points or interfere with the normal operation of the Program;
- sell, assign, report, register, claim or use the same Charging Data, environmental attributes, compliance units or Carbon Credits in more than one program;
- compromise or attempt to compromise the availability, integrity, confidentiality or security of the Application, computer systems, databases or infrastructure used in connection with the Program;
- use the Application or the Program for fraudulent, abusive, illegal or Agreement-incompatible purposes.
Any violation of this section may result in the corrective measures provided for in this Agreement, to the extent applicable, without limiting any other remedy available by law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is prohibited to create multiple accounts for the purpose of improperly obtaining referral Roulez Électrique Points, circumventing Program rules or artificially generating benefits to which you would not otherwise be entitled.
11. SUSPENSION, TERMINATION AND RELATED EFFECTS
Termination at Your Initiative You may, at any time, stop using the Application and end your participation in the Program by requesting the closure of your account or the removal of your charger in accordance with the procedures provided in the Application or by contacting us.
However, if your participation ends before the end of a calendar year, the Charging Data already collected for that year may no longer be eligible for the Program or may not allow the recognition, validation or monetization of the corresponding Carbon Credits. You may then lose, in whole or in part, the Roulez Électrique Points accumulated or their conversion into any payment or compensation that might otherwise have resulted.
Our Right to Suspend or Terminate We may suspend or terminate, in whole or in part, your access to the Application or your participation in the Program when such action is reasonably necessary to ensure the integrity, security, administration or compliance of the Program.
Without limiting the foregoing, any situation that may give rise to a corrective measure under this Agreement may also justify suspension or termination.
Where circumstances permit, we will provide you with reasonable prior notice stating the reasons for the suspension or termination.
Effects of Suspension or Termination Suspension or termination ends your future participation in the Program and the accumulation of new Roulez Électrique Points as of its effective date.
However, suspension or termination does not revoke the rights, authorizations, consents, verifications, audits, corrections, document-retention obligations or other provisions that, by their nature or under the terms of the Agreement, must survive the end of your participation in the Program.
12. CORRECTIVE MEASURES
We may take any reasonable corrective measure when a situation compromises or may compromise eligibility, the accuracy of Charging Data, the integrity of the Program, regulatory compliance, the prevention of Double Counting or compliance with the Agreement.
These measures may include adjusting, suspending, cancelling or terminating your participation in the Program; removing or recovering Roulez Électrique Points; excluding Charging Data; refusing conversion; recovering a payment or compensation; and requesting additional information.
These measures are in addition to the other rights and remedies provided by the Agreement or by law.
13. ROULEZ ÉLECTRIQUE POINTS AND THEIR CONVERSION
Formula.
Roulez Électrique Points are awarded according to the formula described in the Application or in the Program Terms. This formula may provide, among other things, for the award of a fixed number of Points, a number of Points calculated according to eligible kWh, a share of net revenue converted into Points, promotional Points or any other form of award provided under the Program.
Subject to compliance with the applicable conditions, each Point that becomes convertible represents one Canadian cent ($0.01) at the time it is converted into a payment. The payment amount is calculated using the following formula:
Number of Points converted × $0.01 = payment amount.
For example, the conversion of thirteen thousand (13,000) Points results in a payment of one hundred and thirty dollars ($130), subject to any correction, withholding or other measure permitted by the Agreement or by law.
Net Revenue
When the number of Roulez Électrique Points awarded is determined, in whole or in part, on the basis of revenue derived from Carbon Credits, net revenue may be calculated after deducting costs related in particular to measurement, data collection and processing, aggregation, brokerage, validation, verification, audits, registries, compliance, taxes, payments, customer service, fraud prevention, chargebacks and Program administration.
These items may affect the number of Points awarded, but do not change the conversion value of $0.01 applicable to each Point that becomes convertible.
Roulez Électrique Points
Roulez Électrique Points are solely a unit of account used in connection with the Program. They do not constitute an asset, property, a compliance unit, a receivable, an acquired right to a payment or compensation, or a payment commitment by Roulez Électrique. They have no inherent monetary value and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged or otherwise disposed of.
Roulez Électrique Points do not constitute an asset, property, credit, compliance unit, receivable, deposit, earned income, amount due, payment commitment or guarantee of payment. They have no inherent monetary value and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged or otherwise disposed of. They may be converted into a payment or compensation only in accordance with the terms set out in this Agreement and the Program Terms.
Roulez Électrique Points recorded in your Club Roulez Électrique Account may be converted into a payment, compensation or any other benefit only after all applicable Program conditions have been fulfilled. These conditions include, without limitation, the validation, verification and audit of Charging Data, the recognition, validation and monetization of Carbon Credits associated with eligible charging, our actual receipt of the funds, and your continued compliance with this Agreement and the other Program requirements.
Payment or Compensation
Subject to our actual receipt of the funds and compliance with the applicable Program conditions, a button will be added to your dashboard in the Application for each year of Roulez Électrique Points that may be converted (for example, “2026 Points”). The first day on which this button is displayed constitutes the Conversion Date for the Roulez Électrique Points of the year concerned.
When a conversion request is validly submitted, the payment amount is calculated by multiplying the number of Points converted by $0.01. For example, the conversion of eighteen thousand five hundred (18,500) Points corresponds to a payment of one hundred and eighty-five dollars ($185), subject to any correction, withholding or other measure permitted by this Agreement or by law.
As long as the Roulez Électrique Points for a given year have not been converted and the applicable period has not expired, the corresponding button remains displayed on your dashboard. Once you request the conversion of those Points, the button disappears and may no longer be used for that same year.
Subject to the limitation periods prescribed by applicable laws, Roulez Électrique Points for a given year automatically expire if they have not been converted within three (3) years following their Conversion Date. Upon expiry, the corresponding button automatically disappears from your dashboard and any request to convert those Points is refused.
Payment may be made by Interac e-Transfer to the email address or mobile telephone number listed in your account, or by any other payment method that we may offer from time to time.
Instead of a cash payment, we may also offer you, with your consent, compensation in the form of a credit, discount, product, service, gift card, promotional benefit or any other benefit. The value assigned to the Points used to obtain this compensation is calculated at the rate of $0.01 per Point, unless another arrangement is clearly presented to you and you expressly accept it to the extent permitted by law. The other terms and conditions applicable to the compensation will be specified when it is offered to you.
Taxes
You are solely responsible for determining and paying any tax obligation that may arise from a payment or the provision of compensation resulting from the conversion of Roulez Électrique Points in your account. We do not provide tax advice and recommend that you consult a professional where necessary. We may request the tax information required, withhold amounts where required by law, or issue the slips, statements or other tax documents required by applicable legislation.
14. VERIFICATIONS, AUDITS AND DOCUMENT RETENTION
You undertake to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request for information, documents, evidence or assistance made by Roulez Électrique or its Partners in connection with a verification, audit, validation or any other process intended to confirm eligibility for the Program, the accuracy of Charging Data, the absence of Double Counting, compliance with applicable regulatory requirements or compliance with the provisions of the Agreement.
For this purpose, Roulez Électrique may ask you to provide, within a reasonable period, any relevant document or information, including proof of identity, ownership, residence, authorization to use the Eligible Charger or any other information reasonably necessary for the purposes of the Program.
You acknowledge that a refusal to cooperate, failure to provide the requested information or documents, or the submission of inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information may result in the suspension of your participation in the Program, the cancellation of any affected Roulez Électrique Point, the refusal to convert those Points into a payment or compensation, or the termination of this Agreement.
Roulez Électrique may retain the information, documents and records required for verification, audit, regulatory compliance, record-keeping, tax obligations, the defence of rights or Program management for the period permitted or required by applicable law, even after the end of your participation in the Program.
15. SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE BETA PHASE
The Program is currently offered in the Beta phase with respect to certain chargers. By participating in the Program during this phase, you acknowledge and accept that certain features, technology integrations, calculation methods, validation processes and methods for awarding Roulez Électrique Points or Carbon Credits may be incomplete, evolve or be modified without notice to allow for the improvement and gradual deployment of the Program.
You also acknowledge that, as of the date you join the Program, Roulez Électrique may not have entered into a contractual agreement with the entity operating the platform, network or technology infrastructure from which your electric vehicle Charging Data is generated, transmitted, aggregated or hosted, including the manufacturer of your charger, software provider, network operator or any other relevant technology service provider.
Accordingly, Roulez Électrique cannot guarantee that these entities do not claim, have not claimed or will not claim, directly or indirectly, the Carbon Credits that may be associated with charging recorded through your charger or with the data transmitted by it.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and accept that:
a) certain eligible charging may ultimately not be recognized for the creation, certification, validation or monetization of Carbon Credits;
b) certain Carbon Credits potentially associated with your charging may have been, may be or may become claimed, registered, transferred, sold or otherwise allocated by a third party;
c) Roulez Électrique may be unable to record, certify or monetize certain Charging Data because of rights claimed by a third party or the absence of an agreement with that third party;
d) Roulez Électrique Points awarded under the Program may be subject to the corrective measures provided for in section 9 when charging or a Carbon Credit cannot be validated in accordance with the applicable requirements;
e) Roulez Électrique does not guarantee that a Carbon Credit will be created, recognized, certified, registered or monetized in relation to any particular charging session;
f) the number of Roulez Électrique Points that may be awarded, their eligibility for conversion, and the economic value of Carbon Credits or any resulting compensation may vary or be nonexistent;
g) Roulez Électrique may refuse or limit the participation of certain chargers, platforms, manufacturers or technology providers until the necessary validations or agreements have been obtained.
Subject to any mandatory provision of law, Roulez Électrique shall not be liable for the absence of the creation, certification, recognition, transfer or monetization of Carbon Credits where that situation results, in whole or in part, from the rights, claims, practices, policies, systems or omissions of a third party over which Roulez Électrique exercises no reasonable control.
Roulez Électrique nevertheless undertakes to make reasonable efforts to enter into the necessary agreements with the relevant technology providers and to gradually improve the reliability, completeness and recognition of eligible Charging Data under the Program.
16. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Roulez Électrique collects, uses, discloses, retains and destroys personal information only to the extent necessary to administer the Program, operate the Application, comply with its legal obligations and fulfil the purposes described in its Privacy Policy.
Roulez Électrique processes personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy, Québec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, and any other applicable privacy law.
17. SEPARATE CONSENTS
Consents relating to the collection, use, disclosure and sharing of personal information, access to Charging Data, eligibility verification and the prevention of Double Counting are presented separately in the Application or through any other mechanism provided by Roulez Électrique. By confirming these consents through the applicable mechanisms, you authorize Roulez Électrique to carry out the activities described therein, subject to the limits prescribed by law and the Privacy Policy.
The consents, authorizations, representations or commitments applicable to your participation in the Program may also be set out in the Agreement, the Program Terms, the Privacy Policy or the other documents to which they refer. The fact that a consent, authorization or commitment is presented separately does not limit or reduce its scope, validity or effect when it is validly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in a document forming an integral part of it.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Roulez Électrique uses reasonable means to collect, transmit, process and retain the Charging Data used in connection with the Program. However, the Participant acknowledges that these operations depend in particular on the proper functioning of the Eligible Charger, its hardware and software components, its firmware, the Internet connection or telecommunications network, the manufacturer’s servers, application programming interfaces (APIs), the OCPP protocol, OCPP servers, cloud service providers, electrical networks and other systems or services operated by third parties.
Consequently, Charging Data may, in particular because of an outage, service interruption, power failure, loss of connectivity, synchronization failure, transmission error, technical failure, software or firmware update, configuration change, maintenance, cybersecurity incident or any other circumstance reasonably beyond Roulez Électrique’s control, be lost, incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, corrupted or never transmitted to the Program.
Subject to the rights granted to the Participant by applicable laws, Roulez Électrique does not guarantee that all charging performed using an Eligible Charger will be recorded, transmitted or counted under the Program, or that Charging Data will be available at all times.
Subject to the mandatory provisions of law, Roulez Électrique shall not be liable for the loss of Roulez Électrique Points, the loss of the opportunity to convert them, Carbon Credits, payments, compensation, benefits or any other consequence arising directly or indirectly from the loss, absence, delay, inaccuracy or incompleteness of Charging Data resulting from such circumstances.
However, this section does not limit Roulez Électrique’s liability where the damage results from its intentional fault, gross fault or to any other extent that such a limitation is prohibited by applicable laws.
19. NO WAIVER
A party’s failure to exercise, delay in exercising or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided for in the Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy, or of any other right, power or remedy. Each party retains the ability to exercise its rights and remedies within the periods prescribed by law or, where applicable, by the Agreement.

This Agreement, including its preamble, the Program Terms, the Privacy Policy and any document to which it expressly refers, constitutes the complete and exclusive contractual provisions between the parties concerning the Program and the use of the Application. It supersedes and cancels any prior agreement, communication, negotiation, promise, representation or understanding, whether written or oral, concerning the same subject matter.
