Asked whether registering a username and password for a VPC account constitutes "creating an E-toll account", Sanral said that it does not.
This means that a scary part of Sanral's E-toll website Terms & Conditions does not apply to this account. The section is entitled “By registering, you agree to pay e-toll” which states:
When you register with us and you link a motor vehicle to your e-toll account, you agree to pay all e-toll transactions for that motor vehicle. This applies even if you are not the user when the e-toll transactions take place.
Sanral re-iterated that these Terms & Conditions do not apply in this instance, with a spokesperson providing the following statement:
"The Terms and Conditions, (together with applicable legislation) governs the relationship between Sanral and the registered e-toll account holders, while various legislations e.g. the Sanral Act, Toll Tariff Gazette and Regulations govern the relationship for non-registered users."
