Booking and Cancellations:
Pulse Energy Mobile Application may provide an option of advance booking on some Pulse Energy Enabled Charging Stations (“Booking Feature”). For booking any charging station in advance, a boooking fee (“Booking Fee”) is payable from your selected payment mechanism. The Booking Fee paid by you is non-refundable and non-transferable, and can be applied only on the Pulse Energy Enabled Charging Station selected at the time of booking and only for the time period for which the booking is made (“Booking Slot”). Please note that charging at your selected Pulse Energy Enabled Charging Station will auto-stop 5 minutes before the end of your Booking Slot, or before the end of the last Booking Slot in case you have booked multiple consecutive Booking Slots, to allow you time to disconnect your electric vehicle and egress from the charging station before the next Booking Slot.
If you use the Booking Feature, once a booking is made, apart from the Booking Fee deduction, your estimated Session Fees plus an additional amount of INR 150 will be blocked from your account (“Blocked Amount”). Session Fees shall be adjusted against the Blocked Amount and any amount remaining from the Blocked Amount will be refunded back to the original payment mechanism) selected by you at the time of booking. 100% of the Booking Fee shall be adjusted in the Session Fees for charging done during the Booking Slot(s) if the Session Fees exceed the Booking Fee. In the event, Session Fees are less than the Booking Fee then the Session Fees shall be adjusted against the Booking Fee and the balance amount shall be forfeited and can neither be applied for future bookings nor be refunded. You may be eligible for a partial or full refund of Booking Fee only as per the Booking & Cancellation Policy available on the Pulse Energy Mobile Application. For eligible refund requests, the whole or portion of the Booking Fee which qualifies for refund will be refunded to the original payment mechanism within 30 days of the request.
