Authorization

What you are signing for

By this form you grant authorization to Stekker.app B.V., trading under the name Stekker (hereinafter: Stekker), to register the electricity consumption of your charging point(s) on your behalf in the Energy for Transport Register of the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa), to administer and trade the resulting Emission Reduction Units (ERE's), and to pay out the net proceeds after deduction of the commission to you.

The authorization is granted on the day you submit this form and applies for five full calendar years, counted from the calendar year of issuance. There is no tacit renewal: the NEa requires an authorization to carry a date of issuance and to state a term of validity in calendar years (Article 9, paragraph 8, Energy for Transport Regulation). When the term expires, Stekker asks you to sign again. You may withdraw the authorization as at the end of each calendar year. If the agreement ends earlier, the authorization lapses on that same date — it never runs longer than the agreement itself.

With the NEa only one registration service provider can be registered per connection at a time, and that registration always applies for a whole calendar year. Switching to another party for the same connection can therefore only take effect on 1 January.

How this works in practice

Registration requires three kinds of data: about your connection, about your charging point, and about what you have charged. You provide the first yourself at sign-up; Stekker then retrieves the charging sessions automatically from your charging point. Stekker checks whether everything meets the legal requirements and then registers your kilowatt-hours with the NEa.

One requirement is strict: your charging point must have a MID meter — a meter that complies with the European Measuring Instruments Directive. Only such a measurement is accepted by the NEa. If your charging point does not have one, Stekker cannot register your consumption and it therefore yields no payout.

Every kilowatt-hour that is not registered costs Stekker money too. Stekker therefore makes every effort to get your data and supporting documents suitable for registration.

Declarations and authorizations

The undersigned hereby declares and authorizes:

1. Registering, trading and paying out: Stekker to register electricity on the undersigned's behalf in the Energy for Transport Register, to administer and trade the ERE's that result from it, and to pay out the proceeds after deduction of the commission, during the calendar years for which this authorization is granted.
2. Being entitled to sign: the undersigned is registered for the stated EAN code in the Central Connection Register (CAR) as the connection holder, or signs with that holder's consent. Anyone signing on behalf of a company or an owners' association declares to be authorized to represent it. Business customers cooperate, at Stekker's request and within fourteen days, with the formalities the NEa attaches to an authorization, such as confirmation via eHerkenning.
3. The NEa to inspect the connection register: the NEa may request and inspect the data about the stated connection from the Central Connection Register (paragraph 2.1 of the Information Code for Electricity and Gas) at the distribution operator. This consent reaches no further than what the NEa needs for its supervision of the renewable energy for transport system.
4. Stekker to request data from third parties: Stekker may, for the performance of the service, request data about the connection, the charging point and the charging sessions from third parties — including the manufacturer or operator of the charging point, the Charge Point Operator, the grid operator, a metering service and the CAR. This includes retrieving meter readings and consumption data of the connection, to the extent needed to record, validate or substantiate registrations. Stekker processes personal data solely as described in the Privacy Statement.
5. Inspection of the charging point: Stekker's registration verifier and the NEa may verify whether the charging point and the charging location meet the legal conditions for registration, remotely or on site if necessary (Article 10, paragraph 1, Energy for Transport Decree). The undersigned cooperates: access to the charging point and the meter, and demonstrating that the installation matches what is registered. If that cooperation is not given, or the NEa rejects a registration for that reason, the right to payout over the kilowatt-hours concerned lapses.
6. One registration service provider, no double registration: as long as this authorization is valid, the undersigned authorizes no other registration service provider for the same connection, does not register the charged electricity himself, and provides no consumption data to another party in order to have the same consumption registered elsewhere in the Energy for Transport Register.
7. Only electricity that went to a car: the payout applies solely to electricity delivered via the charging point to an electric vehicle. The undersigned declares that the stated charging sessions and kilowatt-hours actually relate to that, and contain no consumption that went to other uses.
8. No stacking with operating subsidy: for self-generated electricity that is delivered to transport via the charging point and registered as fully renewable, the undersigned declares not to have received any operating subsidy such as SDE++. Charging from the grid does not fall under this, not even when netting is applied.
9. Reporting changes: the undersigned reports within fourteen days, via his Stekker account, anything that matters for the registration. In any case: a change of name, a different EAN code or a changed registration in the CAR, the replacement, expansion or removal of the charging point or the meter, the expiry or transfer of the energy contract, a different use of the connection, and relocation. On relocation the authorization for that EAN code ends on the day the registration as connection holder in the CAR for that address expires.
10. Data complete first, then registration: the undersigned understands that registration can only take place once the requested data and supporting documents are correct and complete and Stekker has assessed and approved them. Until that moment there is no registration and therefore no payout.
11. Fourteen days' cooling-off period: if the undersigned is a consumer, he may dissolve this authorization and the agreement within fourteen days of submitting this form without giving reasons (Article 6:230o Dutch Civil Code). The authorization then lapses and no costs are due. This statutory right does not apply to business customers and owners' associations.
12. Term of validity: this authorization applies for five full calendar years from the day of issuance and is not tacitly renewed. The undersigned may withdraw it as at the end of each calendar year. For the rest, the General Terms and Conditions below apply.

General Terms and Conditions

1. Stekker and these terms

1.1 Stekker is the trade name of Stekker.app B.V., established at Herengracht 208, 1016 BS Amsterdam, registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number 76476758. Stekker is on the Dutch Emissions Authority's list of registration service providers.

1.2 These terms apply to the ERE service: registering charging consumption on the customer's behalf in the Energy for Transport Register, trading the ERE's that result from it, and paying out the proceeds.

1.3 If the customer is a consumer, mandatory consumer law always prevails, even where these terms deviate from it.

1.4 Stekker rejects any purchasing conditions or other terms of the customer.

1.5 Deviating arrangements only bind Stekker if Stekker confirms them in writing. Where these terms say 'in writing', email and a message via the customer portal also count.

1.6 If a separately signed agreement conflicts with these terms, that agreement prevails.

The amount the customer receives: the gross proceeds of the registered ERE's minus the commission.

Registration verifier:

The independent party that checks whether the legal conditions for registration have been met.

3. Sign-up, authorization and cooling-off period

3.1 The agreement is concluded as soon as the customer signs up, accepts these terms and grants the authorization.

3.2 At sign-up the customer provides in any case: the EAN code and address of the connection, the details of the charging point and the meter, and an IBAN in his name.

3.3 Stekker may refuse or suspend a sign-up or require additional data, without giving reasons.

3.4 The customer warrants the accuracy, completeness and currency of everything he provides.

3.5 The customer declares to be entitled to grant the authorization for the stated EAN code, in that he is registered as connection holder in the CAR or acts with that holder's consent. Anyone signing on behalf of a company or owners' association declares to be authorized to represent it. Business customers cooperate, on request and within fourteen days, with the formalities the NEa attaches to the authorization, such as confirmation via eHerkenning.

3.6 The authorization is exclusive. As long as it is valid the customer authorizes no other registration service provider for the same connection, does not register the electricity himself and does not have the same consumption claimed elsewhere. The customer warrants that no existing registration, power of attorney or other arrangement with a third party stands in the way.

3.7 The authorization is granted for five full calendar years and is not tacitly renewed; Article 9, paragraph 8, of the Energy for Transport Regulation requires a fixed term of validity in calendar years. The customer may withdraw it as at the end of each calendar year. If the agreement ends, the authorization lapses on that same date.

3.8 If the customer is a consumer, he may dissolve the agreement within fourteen days of it being concluded without giving reasons (Article 6:230o Dutch Civil Code). The authorization then lapses and no costs are due. This right does not apply to business customers.

3.9 The customer reports within fourteen days, via the customer portal, anything that matters for the registration: a change of name, a different EAN code or changed CAR registration, replacement, expansion or removal of the charging point or the meter, the expiry or transfer of the energy contract, a different use of the connection, and relocation.

4. What Stekker does

4.1 Stekker handles the whole chain: collecting and checking data, registering with the NEa, trading the ERE's and paying out the proceeds.

4.2 Stekker provides a best-efforts obligation, not an obligation of result. Stekker guarantees no proceeds, no ERE price and no acceptance by the NEa, and depends in part on third parties for the outcome. Amounts and expected proceeds mentioned are indicative.

4.3 Stekker is not an energy supplier and does not supply electricity itself.

4.4 Stekker independently determines at what moment and at what price ERE's are traded.

4.5 Stekker makes the process transparent via the customer portal: which kilowatt-hours have been submitted, which have been registered, which commission applies and when payout follows.

4.6 Stekker may engage third parties in the performance. Stekker shares personal data solely as described in Article 13.

4.7 The authorization gives Stekker the power to request data about the connection, the charging point and the charging sessions from third parties, including the manufacturer or operator of the charging point, the Charge Point Operator, the grid operator, a metering service and the CAR. This includes retrieving meter readings and consumption data, to the extent needed to record, validate or substantiate registrations.

5. The charging point and the measurement

5.1 Registration is only possible on the basis of a measurement the NEa accepts. The charging point must therefore have a meter that complies with the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). Without a MID meter Stekker cannot register the consumption of that charging point and no right to payout arises. Stekker assesses at sign-up whether the stated charging point meets this requirement.

5.2 Full session data is needed for every charging session. If it is missing or not traceable, the session cannot be registered.

5.3 Stekker determines which measurement sources and delivery formats it accepts. Stekker accepts manually delivered session data only after assessment, and in principle only for charging points for which an automatic connection with Stekker exists or has existed. Stekker may refuse a manual delivery when origin, accuracy or traceability is insufficiently established.

5.4 The customer arranges a working internet connection for the charging point himself and reports outages. Faults in the charging point itself are for the customer's account.

5.5 Only electricity delivered via the charging point to an electric vehicle qualifies for payout. The customer warrants that the stated sessions actually relate to that.

5.6 For self-generated electricity registered as fully renewable, the customer warrants that no operating subsidy such as SDE++ has been received for it. Charging from the grid does not fall under this, not even when netting is applied.

5.7 Charging consumption qualifies from 1 January 2026. Charging sessions from before sign-up also count, provided they fall after that date, were measured with a MID meter and the session data is complete and traceable.

6. Inspection and verification

6.1 The NEa may verify a registration and inspect it on site. Stekker's registration verifier checks whether the charging point and the charging location meet the legal conditions (Article 10, paragraph 1, Energy for Transport Decree).

6.2 The customer cooperates with those inspections, digitally or on site: access to the charging point and the meter, and demonstrating that the installation matches the registration.

6.3 If the cooperation is not given, or the NEa rejects a registration for that reason, the right to payout over the kilowatt-hours concerned lapses.

7. Payout, commission and disbursement

7.1 The customer receives a payout per registered kilowatt-hour, based on the gross proceeds Stekker realizes on the market for ERE's.

7.2 Stekker withholds 15% of the gross proceeds as commission. This covers, among other things, registration with the NEa, trading, administration, verification, certification and disbursement. Amounts are exclusive of VAT, to the extent VAT applies.

7.3 If the customer also uses Stekker's active smart-charging service, the commission is twenty-five percent (25%). The extra ten percentage points cover the operational costs of smart charging: algorithms, server costs, development and real-time control. Stekker charges no commission on the saving on the energy bill that smart charging yields; that saving is entirely for the customer.

7.4 The payout is the gross proceeds minus the commission from 7.2 or 7.3.

7.5 Disbursement follows once three conditions are met: the NEa has accepted the registration and definitively awarded the ERE's, the ERE's have been sold and the proceeds have been received by Stekker, and any required verification has been completed.

7.6 Disbursement generally takes place in the first quarter following the year in which the charging consumption took place.

7.7 If the customer, when submitting his charging consumption, indicates he would like to be paid out earlier, and there is enough volume to conclude short-term contracts with buyers, disbursement can take place earlier. That is a best effort of Stekker, not a right of the customer.

7.8 The amount of the payout moves with market prices, with acceptance by competent authorities and with the applicable regulations. Stekker uses no fixed rate per kilowatt-hour.

7.9 The customer warrants that the stated IBAN is correct and current and in his name.

7.10 The customer cannot suspend a payout or set it off against what he believes he is owed by Stekker.

8. Correction and reclaim

8.1 If the NEa rejects, corrects or reverses a registration, or if it later turns out the customer provided incorrect or incomplete data, Stekker may correct the registration, adjust or suspend amounts not yet paid out, reclaim amounts already paid out and set off outstanding claims against future disbursements.

8.2 Stekker informs the customer what it is correcting and why.

9. Duration, termination and relocation

9.1 The agreement runs per calendar year and is continued each time by one calendar year as long as the authorization is valid and the customer has not terminated. It is never entered into for more than one calendar year at a time.

9.2 The customer may terminate at any time free of charge. Because one registration service provider is registered with the NEa per EAN code per calendar year, a termination takes effect at the end of the current calendar year: if it reaches Stekker by 31 December at the latest, the agreement ends at the end of that year. If the customer wants to switch to another registration service provider as of 1 January, the termination must be received by 30 November at the latest, so the registration change at the NEa can be processed in time.

9.3 Until the end date Stekker remains the registration service provider for the registered EAN code. All kilowatt-hours measured in that year are registered, traded and paid out net by Stekker, at the commission applicable at the moment of registration.

9.4 Stekker may terminate the agreement with a notice period of three months.

9.5 In case of fraud, misuse, repeated incorrect data delivery or when continuation is reasonably not possible, Stekker may terminate with immediate effect. On suspicion of misuse Stekker may suspend access to the customer portal.

9.6 The registration is tied to the EAN code. On relocation the agreement for that EAN code ends on the day the customer's registration as connection holder in the CAR for that address expires. Kilowatt-hours measured until that date are still registered, traded and paid out. The customer reports a relocation as soon as possible and at least a month in advance. For the new address the customer signs up again.

9.7 On bankruptcy of either party the agreement ends by operation of law.

9.8 Even after termination Stekker retains the administration underlying submitted registrations, for tax obligations and for audits by or on behalf of the NEa. Stekker may refuse a request to delete personal data on that ground, to the extent the data is needed to substantiate earlier registrations. The retention periods are in the Privacy Statement.

10. Changes

10.1 Stekker may adjust these terms, the commission, the calculation method and the disbursement moments when market conditions, regulations or the NEa give cause to do so. Stekker announces changes at least a month in advance via the customer portal and by email; where it concerns the commission or the disbursement moment and the customer is a consumer, at least two months in advance.

10.2 If a change works out unfavorably for a consumer, that consumer may terminate free of charge within a month of the announcement, regardless of the contract term. Charging consumption already registered is settled at the commission that applied at the moment of registration.

10.3 If a business customer does not agree, he may end the agreement with due observance of Article 9.

10.4 If the laws or regulations around registration change, or such a change is reasonably to be expected, Stekker may adjust the agreement to the extent needed to keep complying with those regulations. If the adjustment works out unfavorably for the customer, he may terminate free of charge.

10.5 If registering, recording or trading ERE's is no longer permitted, or is reasonably no longer justifiable for Stekker, Stekker may terminate with immediate effect. In that case the parties owe each other no compensation.

11. Liability

11.1 Stekker is liable solely for direct, demonstrable damage.

11.2 Stekker is not liable for lost proceeds due to price fluctuations on the ERE market, due to changes in laws, regulations or policy, due to decisions of the NEa or other authorities, due to outages at the NEa, grid operators, CPO's or other registers, or because a charging point or meter was not connected or not working.

11.3 Stekker is never liable for indirect damage and consequential damage.

11.4 Stekker's liability is limited to the amount actually paid out to the customer in the twelve months before the damage-causing event.

11.5 A claim lapses twelve months after the customer discovered the damage or could reasonably have discovered it.

11.6 The customer is liable for damage Stekker suffers because he attributably provided incorrect, incomplete or misleading data or failed to meet his obligations. This also includes sanctions from supervisors. The customer indemnifies Stekker against third-party claims directly connected with this.

12. Force majeure

12.1 Stekker need not perform an obligation when force majeure prevents it from doing so.

12.2 This includes in any case: outages at the NEa or other registers, outages or changes in networks, API's or platforms of third parties, failure of IT systems, power and internet outages, cyber incidents, delay at certification bodies, government measures and strikes.

12.3 As long as the force majeure lasts, Stekker's obligations are suspended. Stekker informs the customer as soon as possible and limits the consequences where it reasonably can.

12.4 If the force majeure lasts longer than three months, both parties may end the agreement without compensation. Sessions already measured and registered are settled where possible in accordance with Article 7.

13. Privacy and data

13.1 Stekker processes personal and consumption data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.

13.2 Stekker uses that data solely for the performance of the service, the payout and the fulfilment of legal obligations towards the NEa and grid operators.

13.3 Stekker shares personal data with third parties only when needed for the performance of the service or when the law requires it.

13.4 The customer keeps his login details confidential.

13.5 The Privacy Statement is at stekker.app/privacy.

14. Partners and third parties

14.1 Stekker may cooperate with partners or third parties in the performance, including Charge Point Operators, energy suppliers, platforms, intermediaries and technical service providers.

14.2 Unless agreed otherwise in writing, partners do not act as Stekker's representative and are not authorized to make commitments on Stekker's behalf.

14.3 Stekker is not bound by statements, commitments or guarantees of partners, unless Stekker has expressly confirmed these in writing.

14.4 The agreement is concluded solely between the customer and Stekker.app B.V.

15. Intellectual property

15.1 All rights to the customer portal, the Stekker app and the associated software and content rest with Stekker.app B.V.

15.2 The customer receives a personal, non-transferable right of use for the duration of the agreement.

15.3 The data the customer provides remains the customer's.

16. Applicable law and disputes

16.1 Dutch law applies to the agreement.

16.2 The customer reports a complaint to Stekker first. Stekker responds within ten working days.

16.3 If the parties do not reach agreement, disputes are submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam.

16.4 If the customer is a consumer, he may, within a month after Stekker invokes 16.3, choose the court competent under the law.

16.5 The European Commission offers a platform for online dispute resolution at ec.europa.eu/odr.

17. Final provisions

17.1 If a provision is wholly or partly null, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply in full.

17.2 In that case the parties consult on a replacement provision that stays as close as possible to the purpose and intent of the original.

17.3 If a provision is null or voidable towards consumers but valid towards business customers, it continues to apply to business customers.

17.4 Stekker may transfer its rights and obligations to a legal successor.

17.5 These terms apply from 1 January 2026.
