Our relationship with you
These ClearWatt Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"), together with our ClearWatt Privacy Notice set out the rules that cover our relationship and agreement when you use the ClearWatt App, Website (when we use the term “Website” we mean the website located at www.clearwatt.co.uk and also our ClearWatt web apps from time to time), and services. They explain our responsibilities and yours, and how you can use the ClearWatt service. When you use the ClearWatt App, Website and/or service, these Terms apply to you and are legally binding so please read them. In fact, you might want to print them out or save them on your device in case you ever want to come back to them in the future.
Who we are
We're Future Motion Solutions Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 09793739, with our registered office address at Sustainable Workspaces Riverside Building County Hall 3rd Floor, Westminster Bridge Road, London, United Kingdom, SE1 7PB, and with VAT number GB272299086 (“ClearWatt”). We own and provide the ClearWatt brand, service, App and Website. Where we say "we", "our" or "us" in these Terms, that is usually who we mean. We might also mean anyone that might take over our business or we transfer our business to in the future (we will tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under any ongoing service Contract).
References to "you", "your" and the “customer” means you, the natural or legal person who uses the ClearWatt service. Please note:
- if you are accessing and using the Website, App or service for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside of your trade, business, craft or profession, you are acting as a “Consumer Customer”; or
- if you are accessing and using the Website, App or service for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession, you are acting in the course of a business and will be considered a “Business Customer”.
If you are a Consumer Customer, you should also remember that these are not a complete list of all of your or our rights or responsibilities, as there might be others under applicable law. If you want more information about your general rights as a consumer, you should contact a consumer advice organisation such as the Citizens' Advice Bureau.
If you are a Business Customer acting on behalf of your employer or another business then when you use the Website, App or service you represent and warrant that:
- you have full legal authority to bind your employer or that business; and
- you agree to these Terms on behalf of the business that you represent.
Want to contact us?
If you have any questions about or feedback on our Terms or services, get in touch with us by emailing hello@clearwatt.co.uk. If the question relates to information we have obtained from a third party, we may refer your question to them if we consider it appropriate.
What is ClearWatt?
ClearWatt provides services via its App and Website including analysis of an electric vehicle’s battery performance. ClearWatt helps you to understand the vehicle’s estimated battery ageing behaviour as well as the expected or estimated range. In addition to these services, ClearWatt provides access to a comprehensive range of online tools designed to assist customers in transitioning to electric mobility, such as ownership guides, EV searches, comparison tools and resale reports. The ClearWatt Website is considered an integral part of the ClearWatt service. Consequently, the Website and the additional comprehensive online tools are also subject to the Terms outlined in this document in the same way that the ClearWatt App is.
How it works
You may be able to order more than one service at the same time and, where this is the case, the checkout process will make this clear to you.
For any of our services, the order process asks and allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order. Please check your order carefully before submitting it, as once your order is submitted we will begin processing it immediately. You are responsible for ensuring that your order is complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
We are under no obligation to accept any order and we may reject an order for any reason in our sole discretion (this may be, for example, because we cannot verify your age, or because you are located outside of the UK).
All order processes are only available in the English language.
We will not file a copy of any Contract formed between you and us.
Following the completion of a service, ClearWatt will supply a “Report” which will provide an analysis of the relevant vehicle’s battery current operating performance. The Report will be different, and contain different information, depending on which service has been ordered and carried out. Some services may issue your Report on the same day that your order is placed, but other services will require a longer wait time for Report issuance. In any event, for all services, the Report will be issued to you no later than seven (7) days after the necessary steps have been completed for the relevant service.
Currently, we offer three different types of service, which are explained below. We reserve the right to change the services that we offer at any time (for example, by adding new services, terminating existing services, or changing existing services) and in this circumstance you will be notified in writing if any ongoing service that you have ordered is affected. This will not negatively impact your legal rights.

For example, if the vehicle being assessed is a Tesla, and you have a Tesla account, the ClearWatt App will request your consent to connect to that Tesla account. Connecting in this way would enable ClearWatt to collect information on the relevant vehicle from that third party app, which can support the Report's results. You are not obligated to provide your consent and you can simply decline the request. If you do provide your consent, you will be asked to login to your vehicle account on the ClearWatt App and ClearWatt will connect without you needing to do anything else. You will not be taken away from the ClearWatt App.
- You will be required to perform a series of “Drives” in the relevant vehicle with the App running passively in the background. The App will use the functionality of your smartphone such as the accelerometer, compass and GPS readings to determine the conditions of a Drive. We may, at our discretion, provide you with tools and insights as to how you can improve your results whilst performing Drives. You should review each Drives that the App has recorded after that Drive has concluded, and contact us if you think that the details are inconsistent or inaccurate in any manner. ClearWatt may also request that you manually input some data into the App about the vehicle’s battery before and after each Drive.
- ClearWatt may request that you share supporting evidence via your smartphone’s camera. Photographs could be requested, for example, of the vehicle’s dashboard or numberplate. You will never be asked to, and you must not, share photographs that contain any people, anyone’s likeness, or anyone’s personal data.
- Where you provide data, information and/or photographs to ClearWatt, you agree that these are complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
- Once you have completed the described steps, certain payment obligations may apply (if applicable). Please see the “Price and Payments” clause below for more information.
- Following the completion of the steps described above, you will be able to submit your order for this service.
- Once you have submitted your order, and on the condition that it is accepted by us, you will receive an email that confirms your order (the "Confirmation Email").

- You acknowledge and agree that that these Terms constitute a contract that is concluded between you and ClearWatt, and not with the “Appstore Provider”. For the purposes of this clause, "Appstore Provider" means the provider of the app store through which you have downloaded the App (for example, Apple is the Appstore Provider if you have downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, Google is the Appstore Provider if you have downloaded the App from Google Play, etc).

- You acknowledge and agree that the Appstore Provider shall not be responsible for addressing any claims that you might have relating to the App, including (without limitation): product liability claims; any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
- In the event that a third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, ClearWatt (and not the Appstore Provider) shall be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of such claim.
- You warrant and represent that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

This right may not always be available to you, for example in respect of services which have been performed or completed, even if the fourteen (14) day cancellation period is still running (or if you cancel after we have started but not yet completed the relevant services, then you remain liable to pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind).

Please check this page from time to time to take notice of any updates made to the information here.
Suspending our services
We may need to suspend the supply of a service, for example, to deal with technical problems or to update or change the service from time to time. If we suspend the service whilst you have an ongoing Contract with us, we will provide you with prior notice where this is possible (however, it may not be possible if, for example, we need to fix an issue or make a change to comply with a legal or regulatory matter).
If our supply of your service is suspended, delayed or prevented by an event outside our control, we will notify you of the issue as soon as possible and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) we will not be liable to compensate you for the suspension or delay.
If the suspension or delay is likely to persist for a substantial period of time, and this negatively impacts your rights under the Contract between you and us, you may be entitled to end the Contract and receive a refund for any services that you have paid ClearWatt directly for yourself, but not received. Please contact us without delay if you believe you are entitled to any refund.
