3.2 In order to start and carry out the paid charging process, reev collects personal data of the User, such as their email address and billing address (including name). In the final step, the User must select a payment method and, for authorisation purposes, enter the valid payment details for that method. By subsequently clicking the button “start charging process now with obligation to pay”, the User makes an offer to conclude a contract for use and electricity supply with the Partner CPO and thereby accepts the Partner CPO’s contractual terms. The Partner CPO accepts the offer by starting the charging process. reev acts merely as a transmitter of the respective declarations.

3.3 The remuneration due for the supply of electricity in favour of the Partner CPO is billed immediately after the payment method has been entered and authorised accordingly, via the payment service provider engaged by reev.
