Granting consent to these Terms and Conditions is necessary for accessing and using the ELVO management platform.

 

  1. Definitions
  2.  

    The ELVO Platform

    Presented by ELVO TECHNOLOGY S.R.L., the ELVO Platform (“platform”, “the ELVO platform”, “the ELVO management platform”, “we”, “our”) accessible at elvo.io is a sophisticated ecosystem designed to empower Customers and Partners with intelligent functionalities for managing electric vehicles (EV). It is important to recognize that Customers and Partners are granted distinct capabilities within the platform, the specifications of which will be outlined in the course of this document. Please be aware that the terms of use set forth here are intended for Customers interacting with our platform and must be adhered to accordingly.

     

    The ELVO App

    This app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices, is developed and managed by ELVO. As a comprehensive digital tool, it facilitates user access to a wide range of functions tailored for EV drivers, such as locating charging stations, monitoring charging progress, managing payments, and more.

     

    Charge Point Operator (CPO)

    A business or organization that oversees the operation, maintenance, and provision of Charging Infrastructure. This includes, but is not limited to, the physical hardware (charging stations) and the necessary software solutions for user interaction, station monitoring, and charge data management.

     

    Charging Infrastructure

    Compatible charging outlets that are connected to the ELVO App.

     

    Contract

    The explicit consent given to these Terms and Conditions constitutes a legal agreement between the Customer or Partner and ELVO in this business context. This Contract establishes the right of the Customer and/or Partner to access and use the ELVO platform and its associated services. It clarifies the terms of service, user obligations, fee structures, and other critical aspects of the software service offering.

     

    Electric Vehicle

    Vehicles powered entirely or in part by electric motors, which draw energy from rechargeable batteries. These include various models, such as battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), which can be charged at dedicated charging points.

    End User/User/Driver

    Drivers who download, install, and register on the ELVO App must be of legal driving age and hold a valid driving license to use the service. By registering and giving consent to the Terms and Conditions of the App, end users affirm their eligibility and are granted access to use the Charging Infrastructure through the app.

     

    Customers

    The term “Customers” within the ELVO platform refers to individuals or businesses that own charging stations, with the aim of managing these stations efficiently, using statistics about them, and integrating them into the broader ELVO public charging network. Customers use the ELVO management platform to monitor their EV charging stations. To access this service, the Partner is required to pay a monthly fee directly to ELVO or one of its authorized Partners.

    ELVO Direct Customers

    Customers enrolled directly by ELVO, without the intermediation of a Partner.

    Partners

    The term “Partners” within the ELVO platform refers to companies that operate as Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to access the ELVO charging infrastructure through a white-label and co-branding solution. This arrangement allows them to leverage ELVO’s advanced technology and network under their own branding, facilitating an easy and efficient integration into their existing operations with the possibility of reselling ELVO subscriptions to their customers.

     

    White-label and Co-branding

    Our service is based on a white-label and co-branding solution, encompassing both a versatile app and a robust platform. This solution is provided by ELVO to our Partners, who are thus empowered to use this technology under their own name by applying the white-label to our Mobile App and using our Platform in a co-branding manner. The essence of the white-label and co-branding approach is that, although the technology and infrastructure are created by ELVO, Partners customize and manage them further with their own customers.

     

  3. Scope of the Platform
  4.  

    These TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS AND CONDITIONS”) regulate the contractual relationship basis between ELVO and the Customers or Partners. These TERMS AND CONDITIONS govern only the use of the ELVO platform. Please be informed that the ELVO App targets a different user segment with different terms.

    ELVO provides Customers and Partners with digital products and services described within these Terms and Conditions.

    ELVO may change these TERMS AND CONDITIONS at any time with effect for the future. Changes to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS will only become effective with the express consent of the Customer/Partner.

     

    ELVO Direct Customers have access to the ELVO platform, which serves as a comprehensive tool for monitoring their charging stations. This platform provides detailed insights into usage statistics, enables the integration of their stations into the public ELVO App, and facilitates the monetization of their charging infrastructure. To benefit from these services and capabilities, ELVO Direct Customers are required to subscribe to a monthly payment plan, ensuring continuous access and support for their operational needs.

    ELVO Partners include enterprises seeking to adopt the Platform and/or ELVO App through a white-label and co-branding solution, aiming to leverage the full range of functionalities. This strategic move allows them to become Charge Point Operators (CPOs), giving them the autonomy to comprehensively manage their own Customers.

    The ELVO Platform operates as a Software as a Service (SaaS) business, offering subscription-based access to both Direct Customers and Partners. This model underscores our commitment to delivering scalable, cloud-based solutions tailored to meet diverse needs, depending on the specificity of the subscription and the type of client.

  19. ELVO-Partner Relationship, Responsibilities, and Limitations
  20.  

    ELVO is firmly committed to providing our partners with reliable, scalable, and state-of-the-art white-label applications and co-branded platforms, empowering them to operate autonomously and efficiently. This structure allows us to extend our technological reach while enabling Partners to maintain direct control and nurture individual relationships with their Clients.

    After integrating our white-label application and co-branded platform, Partners enroll their own Clients. It’s crucial to remember that these Partners are responsible for managing the relationships with the Clients they enroll and the users of their white-label application. This may include Customer service, their own Terms and Conditions for the application, holding personal data of their Clients and application users, etc. The ability of Partners to customize and brand the platform allows them to maintain a unique and independent interface with their Clients, though powered by ELVO’s underlying technology.

     

    ELVO reserves the right to set minimum and maximum price thresholds. This strategy is designed to align with market demands while promoting the success and sustainability of our Partners. By implementing these price parameters, ELVO aims to maintain a competitive edge and ensure profitability and mutual growth.

     

    ELVO provides a comprehensive and efficient onboarding strategy for its Partners, which may include access to a dedicated Account Manager. This approach ensures personalized guidance and support, facilitating a smooth and efficient integration process for new Partners.

     

    ELVO is responsible for ensuring that the white-label application and co-branded platform provided remain fully operational. This commitment underscores our dedication to delivering continuous, reliable service and maintaining the high standards expected from our technological solutions.

     

    ELVO reserves the right to impose restrictions on a Partner’s operational terms or account in extreme circumstances, especially when there are legitimate reasons, such as legal issues involving illegal or suspicious activities, non-compliance with ELVO’s terms and conditions, or actions that could lead to market devaluation. This measure is a crucial part of maintaining the integrity and lawful operation of our services.

     

    The white-label application and co-branded platform provided by ELVO may include provisions for technical inspection, such as quality testing and compliance with industrial standards or regulations. ELVO undertakes the timely execution of updates and maintenance of the platform and white-label application in accordance with necessary legal and operational standards for technical purposes.

     

    In specific circumstances, ELVO may charge distinct pricing structures for the white-labeled application and co-branded platform provided, considering that these services can be tailored to meet various operational domains.

     

    Please be aware that using the ELVO platform as a Partner may involve a monthly subscription fee. Detailed information regarding this fee will be available in the pricing section of your account for full transparency and easy access. Please refer to sections 8 and 9 of this document for more details.
