In addition, you acknowledge that you shall be liable for any additional charges relating to your Trip as specified in the Pricing Schedule which include:

  1. Excess kilometre charges for every kilometre travelled over the daily limit detailed in the Pricing Schedule.
  2. Traffic, road toll, parking infringements, speeding, or traffic signal offences received from any enforcement authority (each an ‘Infringement Notice’).

  4. Vehicle relocation costs and Unauthorised Parking Fees as detailed in the Pricing Schedule if the Vehicle is not returned to an Approved Mevo Carpark in the Flex Zone or the Loop Base (as applicable).
  5. Any cleaning fees arising from the return of the Vehicle which Mevo considers to be in an excessively dirty condition which requires extra cleaning resource. This includes but is not limited to, food, vomit, spillage of fluids, stains, hair, sand, grime, rubbish removal, unpleasant odours, any smoking or tobacco residue or any evidence that the Vehicle has been used to transport pets.
  6. A card payment dishonour fee.
  7. Mevo administration charges which are detailed in the Pricing Schedule.

Upon sending a “Start Trip” command using the Mevo App, you agree for an authorisation hold to be placed on your payment method, pending finalisation of the applicable charges when the Trip has ended. You understand that a Trip cannot commence unless the authorisation hold has been approved and there are no outstanding fees owing on your Personal Profile. Mevo has sole discretion to change the authorisation hold amount at any time.

Mevo will promptly forward any Infringement Notice and associated reminder notices (if applicable) to you. You have the right to challenge, complain about, query or object to the alleged offence directly with the issuing enforcement authority. You have the right to seek a court hearing within 56 days from the date of the Infringement Notice or 28 days from the date of issue of a reminder notice. Mevo will notify you of any additional charges arising from an Infringement Notice prior to charging your payment method as saved in your Personal Profile.

If you fail to pay for any amout due in connection with your Membership within 14 days of the due date for payment, Mevo may charge, without prejudice, and you must pay all additional cost as outlined below:

  1. All debt, legal or other external agency collection fees and charges incurred by Mevo for the recovery of the outstanding amounts.
  2. Interest charges on the outstanding amounts. Interest accrues at a rate of 10% per annum in excess of the interest rate payable by Mevo for overdraft fees, calculated on a daily basis, compounding monthly. Interest begins accruing after the 14 day grace period for payment until the payment is actually received.
  3. Mevo debt management fee as detailed in the Pricing Schedule.

You acknowledge that Mevo may pass any debts to an external debt collection agency, at which point the debt must be payable to the debt collection agency directly and not to Mevo.
