Terms of Use — evchargerhub.lk OCPI hub (v2, 2026-05-26)
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website at evchargerhub.lk and the OCPI roaming hub operated through it (together, the "Hub"). The Hub is operated by Volt Industrial Company (Pvt) Ltd, a company incorporated in Sri Lanka with its registered office at [Registered address — Colombo, Sri Lanka] (the "Operator", "we", "us").
By creating a portal account, submitting an application, or otherwise accessing the Hub, you ("you", "your") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Hub.
These Terms apply to every visitor of the website and every applicant for OCPI access. The ongoing contractual relationship between the Operator and a party who has been admitted as a connected party (a CPO, eMSP, or HUB role) is additionally governed by the Hub Service Agreement. The way we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.
1. Definitions
- "OCPI" means the Open Charge Point Interface protocol, currently version 2.2.1, as published by the EVRoaming Foundation.
- "Connected Party" means an organisation that has been approved by the Operator to exchange OCPI messages through the Hub.
- "Portal" means the web application at evchargerhub.lk used to register, apply, and manage your Hub access.
- "Hub Service Agreement" means the agreement of that name published on the Portal, as amended from time to time.
2. Account & registration
- You must be at least 18 years old and authorised to bind the organisation you sign up on behalf of.
- You must provide accurate, current, and complete information about your organisation, and keep that information up to date.
- You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. You are responsible for all activity carried out under your account.
- You must notify us promptly at the email listed in §13 if you suspect your credentials have been compromised.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Hub for any purpose other than exchanging OCPI 2.2.1 messages relating to the e-mobility services you operate;
- attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with any authentication, authorisation, scope, rate-limit, or other security control;
- submit content or data that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or that contains malware or harmful code;
- attempt to access another party's data, tokens, or accounts;
- probe, scan, or reverse-engineer any part of the Hub other than the publicly documented OCPI surface;
- use the Hub to send unsolicited communications or to enable any other party to do so;
- introduce or pass through data that you do not have a lawful basis to share under applicable data-protection law.
We may, at our discretion and without prior notice, take any technical measure we consider necessary to enforce these rules, including throttling, suspending, or revoking access.
4. Intellectual property
- The Hub software, the Portal UI, our trademarks, the OCPI hub orchestration logic, our documentation, and all related materials are the property of the Operator and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any of that to you.
- You retain ownership of the data you submit to the Hub. By submitting data, you grant the Operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, route, transform, and otherwise process that data for the purposes described in the Hub Service Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
- Open-source components used in the Hub remain subject to their respective licences.
5. Service availability
- We aim to make the Hub continuously available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. Service-level commitments, where any apply, are set out in the Hub Service Agreement.
- We may carry out scheduled or emergency maintenance at any time. Where reasonably practicable, we will give Connected Parties advance notice through the Portal or by email.
- The Hub is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
6. Suspension & termination
- We may suspend or restrict your access at any time, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe that (a) you have breached these Terms or the Hub Service Agreement, (b) your continued access poses a security, legal, or reputational risk, or (c) we are required to do so by law or by a competent authority.
- We will, where practicable, give you reasonable opportunity to remedy a non-urgent breach before suspending or terminating your access.
- You may terminate your account at any time by giving us 30 days' notice in writing. Termination does not affect rights or obligations that have accrued before the effective date of termination.
- Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including §4 IP, §7 disclaimers, §8 liability cap, §9 indemnity, §10 governing law, and §11 notices) will survive.
7. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator disclaims all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms or in the Hub Service Agreement, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, and uninterrupted operation.
8. Limitation of liability

- Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, or anticipated savings, even if advised of the possibility of such losses.
- The Operator's aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Hub, or your use of the Hub, in any twelve (12) month period, is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees actually paid by you to the Operator under the Hub Service Agreement in the preceding twelve months, or (b) LKR 300,000.
- The exclusions and cap in this §8 do not apply to: liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud; intentional misconduct; any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under the laws of Sri Lanka; or your obligations under §9 (Indemnity).
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, fee, and cost (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of these Terms or the Hub Service Agreement; (b) the data, content, or instructions you submit through the Hub, including any claim that it infringes a third party's rights or violates applicable law; (c) your violation of any applicable law, including data-protection, anti-money-laundering, and sanctions law; and (d) any unauthorised activity under your account that arises from your failure to safeguard credentials.
10. Governing law & jurisdiction
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or your use of the Hub, are governed by the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Colombo, Sri Lanka have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute, except that the Operator may bring proceedings to protect its intellectual property or to obtain injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11. Notices
Notices to the Operator must be sent to legal@evchargerhub.lk with a copy to the registered office listed at the top of these Terms. Notices to you will be sent to the work email address on your portal account. A notice is deemed received on the next working day after it is sent.
12. Changes to these Terms
- We may amend these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at /portal/legal/TERMS_OF_USE on the Portal, with an effective date.
- Material changes will be notified to active accounts at least 30 days before they take effect, through the Portal or by email. Non-material changes (such as clarifications or contact updates) take effect on publication.
- Your continued use of the Hub after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change, you must stop using the Hub before the change takes effect.
13. General
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
- Entire agreement. These Terms, the Hub Service Agreement, and the Privacy Policy together constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding the Hub, and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject matter. In the event of a conflict, the Hub Service Agreement prevails over these Terms, and these Terms prevail over the Privacy Policy in respect of contractual matters (the Privacy Policy prevails on data-protection matters).
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to do so later.
- Independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and the Operator.
- Electronic acceptance. You acknowledge that clicking "Submit application" or otherwise affirming these Terms in the Portal constitutes a legally binding signature for the purposes of the Electronic Transactions Act No. 19 of 2006 of Sri Lanka.
- Governing language. The English version of these Terms is the controlling text. Any translation is for convenience only.
