Who we are and what this agreement does

In return for your agreeing to comply with these terms, we, SmartEV Limited (t/a Sevadis) of Granville House, The Heights Business Park Ibstone Road, Stokenchurch, High Wycombe, England HP14 3BG, grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free licence to use the App and any updates or supplements to it and the Services as permitted in these terms.

This is not an agreement between you and any Transaction Entity or Facilities Operator. This is an agreement between you and Sevadis.

This Agreement explains our mutual rights and obligations with regards to the App and the Service.

Sevadis provides a service to enable your payment for electricity used through an EVCP at certain facilities. Sevadis does not own, operate or maintain EVCP facilities and EVCPs and is not responsible for any such facilities or EVCPs. We have no control over the actions or omissions of any Facility Operator.

Your privacy

Under data protection legislation, we are required to provide you with certain information about who we are, how we process your personal data and for what purposes and your rights in relation to your personal data and how to exercise them. This information is provided in our privacy policy and it is important that you read this information.

Please be aware that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure and that any message or information you send using the App or the Services may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission is encrypted.

How you may use the App

  • download a copy of the App onto one or more mobile devices and use the App and the Services for your personal purposes only if you are a consumer or for your internal business purposes only if you are a business user (any user other than a consumer);

  • use your Account to make payments for any electricity used through an EVCP provided by a Facilities Operator, via the App; and

  • access your transactions through the App and review your recent account history on the App.

Who may use the app

You must be 18 or over to accept these terms and download and use the App.

To use the App and Services on behalf of an organisation or business, an authorised representative of that organisation must agree to these terms.

  • except as permitted under these terms, not rent, lease, sub-license, loan, provide, or otherwise make available, the App or the Services in any form, in whole or in part to any person without prior written consent from us;

  • not copy the App, except where such copying is incidental to normal use of the App or where it is necessary for the purpose of backup or operational security;

    • is not disclosed or communicated without the prior written consent of Sevadis to any third party to whom it is not necessary to disclose or communicate it in order to achieve the Permitted Objective; and

Account information

You can open your Account by downloading and installing the App. Account registration requires you to submit to Sevadis certain personal information, such as your name, address, telephone/ mobile phone number, email address and valid credit or debit card details. You agree to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date Account information, including having invalid or expired credit or debit card details, may result in your inability to access and use the Service. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, and you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times.

You may cancel your Account at any time, provided that you have complied with any obligations under this agreement.

We may cancel your Account if we end your rights to use the App and/or the Services in accordance with this agreement.

Payments and Refunds

You understand that use of the App and the Services related to any Transaction may result in fees and charges to you for the services or goods you receive from the Facilities Operator (Charges). You authorise us to initiate any such Charges to the Account. Sevadis will facilitate your payment of any applicable Charges on behalf of the Facilities Operator as an agent for the Facilities Operator (as a principal). Payment of the Charges in such manner will be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Facilities Operator.

We have no liability for any transaction fees, insufficient fund charges, or any other fee or charge that is assessed by a Transaction Entity in connection with your use of Transaction Entity for Transactions.

You understand that we pass all Charges to you and we are not responsible for any electricity rates, fees or any charges determined by the Transaction Entity and Facilities Operator.

You agree to pay any Charges and any applicable taxes in GBP to Sevadis. The amount of any Charges is specified by the Facilities Operator on the date of the Transaction and will be charged to the payment method selected for the Account.

We accept no liability to complete any payment transaction which cannot be cleared, whether because there are insufficient funds available on your selected payment method or otherwise.

If you are due a refund or you believe that you are due a refund in relation to any Charges, please email our Customer Service team: customerservice@sevadis.com.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
