These supplemental Charging Terms apply to the Charging Services, as defined below, and the Rivian Site and Rivian App, which allow you to make purchases and pay for fees associated with charging the Rivian vehicle ("Vehicle") linked to your Account (defined below) through your stored Payment Methods (the "Wallet"). The Wallet is maintained and operated by Rivian and its third-party payment service providers (collectively, "Rivian"). To use the Charging Services, you must accept the Rivian General Terms and Conditions ("Rivian Terms") and the Rivian Payment Terms ("Payment Terms"). Please read each of these documents carefully. Together with these Charging Terms, these documents establish what you can expect from us and what we expect from you as you use our services.
