Shahin App Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Shahin. These terms explain how you can use the Shahin App. When you buy a charging package or charge your car, you also agree to the terms of the charging company that sells the package or runs the charger, set out in that company's annex to these terms.

Last updated: 15 October 2026.

1. About Shahin

1.1       Shahin is Oman's national app for electric vehicle charging. Use it to find chargers, check whether they are available, buy charging packages, and start and stop charging where the operator supports it.

1.2       In these terms, "Shahin", "we" and "us" mean the Shahin App, provided by Hyve Online, and "you" means the person using it. When you create an account, the app asks you to accept these terms, and by using the app you agree to them.

2. Charging operators and their annexes

2.1       The chargers in the app are run by licensed charging companies ("operators"). Each operator sells its own charging packages and provides charging under its own terms, in line with the rules set by the Government of Oman.

2.2       Each operator's terms are set out in a separate annex to these terms (the "operator's terms"). The annexes currently included are:

•        Annex A: Electric Vehicles One LLC (EVO)

2.3       An operator's annex applies only when you buy a package from that operator or charge at its chargers. Before your first purchase from, or charge with, an operator, the app shows you its annex and asks you to accept it. Before each purchase, the app also shows the operator's name, what the package includes and its price.

2.4       Each annex is a separate agreement between you and that operator. Shahin is not a party to it and is not responsible for the operator's packages, prices or charging. You buy packages from the operator, not from Shahin. The operator is responsible for its packages and chargers, including prices, VAT, invoices, validity, refunds, fair use and renewals. For questions about any of these, contact the operator using the support details in the app.

2.5       Each operator may update its own annex and tells its customers in the app before important changes take effect. A change to an annex does not change these terms.

2.6       These terms cover the app. Each annex covers its operator's packages and charging. If they differ on a package or a charge, the annex applies.

3. Your account

3.1       You must be 18 or older to create an account.

3.2       Give us accurate details when you sign up (your name, email, phone number and date of birth) and keep them up to date in Settings. Changing your phone number or email needs verification.

3.3       Your account is for you only. Keep your login details safe and do not share your account with anyone.

3.4       You are responsible for what happens on your account, unless it is caused by us or happens after you have told us about misuse. If you think someone else has used it, tell us straight away at support@shahinev.com.

3.5       If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may suspend or close it.

4. Buying packages

4.1       Prices are in Omani Rials. VAT is added at the applicable rate and shown before you pay.

4.2       You pay the operator directly, through the operator's own licensed payment provider in the app. Shahin does not store your full card details.

4.3       Charging packages are bought directly in the app and are not sold through the app store, so the app store does not handle their payments or refunds.

4.4       The operator issues a tax invoice in Arabic for every purchase and renewal.

5. Charging your car

5.1       You can start and stop charging in the app at chargers that support it.

5.2       The app uses your location to show chargers near you. Where an operator requires it, the app also checks your location when you start a charge, to confirm that you are at the charger (geo-fencing).

5.3       Charger details such as availability, connector type, power and price come from the operators. We work to keep them accurate, but we cannot guarantee that a charger will be available or working when you arrive.

5.4       At the charger, check that your car is compatible, follow the operator's instructions and site rules, and move your car when charging is done.

5.5       If you see a fault or anything unsafe, stop charging and report it in the app. In an emergency, such as smoke, fire or sparks, move away and call 9999.

6. Charging with different operators

6.1       Where available, you can use your account at chargers run by different operators. Each charge follows the terms of the operator that runs the charger.

6.2       A package can only be used where its operator's terms allow.

7. AI assistant

7.1       The app may include an AI assistant to answer your questions.

7.2       Its answers are generated automatically, may be wrong or incomplete, and are for general guidance only. They are not legal advice or an official government decision.

7.3       For questions about regulations or official announcements, the assistant is set up to use only content provided or approved by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, but its answers may still be wrong. Please check important matters through the Ministry's official channels.

7.4       Messages you send to the assistant are processed by OpenAI to generate replies and are not used to train AI models. Please do not share sensitive personal details in the chat.

8. Using the app properly

You must not:

•        use the app for anything illegal;

•        give false details, pretend to be someone else or use another person's account;

•        try to access our systems without permission, or interfere with the app, the chargers or their networks;

•        upload or spread viruses or harmful code;

•        copy or collect data from the app using bots or other automated tools;

•        reverse engineer or decompile the app;

•        resell the app or exploit it commercially without our written agreement (business use of an operator's packages is fine where that operator agrees in writing);

•        harass or abuse other users or staff.

9. Our app and content

9.1       The app, its software, design and content, and the Shahin name and logo, are protected by intellectual property rights that belong to their owners and licensors.

9.2       We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, as allowed by these terms and by the rules of the app store you downloaded it from.

9.3       Operator names and logos belong to the operators, and maps belong to the map providers.

9.4       If you send us feedback, we may use it to improve the app.

10. Your privacy

10.1     Hyve Online, which runs the app, is responsible for your personal data in the app and protects it in line with Oman's Personal Data Protection Law (Royal Decree 6/2022). Our Privacy Notice explains in full what we collect and why.

10.2     What we collect: your sign-up details (name, email, phone number and date of birth), your location while you use the app, your vehicle details, details of your charges (energy, time, power and battery level), your package and payment records, your RFID card details if you use one, the messages you send to support or to the AI assistant, and information about your device and how you use the app (such as app version, crash reports and usage statistics).

10.3     Why: to run your account, show you chargers and directions, manage your packages and charging, help you when you contact us, prevent fraud, meet legal requirements and improve the app.

10.4     Who we share it with: the operator whose charger or package you use, which is responsible for the data it uses for its own packages and payments; the operator's payment provider; and the companies that host and support the app, including analytics and AI service providers. We also share data with government authorities where the law requires it.

10.5     Your choices: we ask for your explicit consent where the law requires it, for example for marketing, and you can withdraw it at any time. You can ask to see, correct, update, block or delete your data, to get a copy of it, or to have it sent to another organisation, by contacting our data protection officer at privacy@shahinev.com. We reply within 45 days. If a data breach affects your data, we will tell you. You can turn off location access in your phone settings, but some features will not work without it.

10.6     How long we keep it: while your account is open, and only as long as needed for the purposes above; after that, only as long as needed to settle disputes, prevent fraud or meet legal duties.

11. Other services in the app

11.1     The app uses services from other companies, such as maps, navigation and payments. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them, and you must follow any third-party terms that apply to your use of the app, such as your mobile data plan.

11.2     We are not responsible for other websites linked from the app.

12. Our responsibility to you

12.1     We work to keep the app running smoothly, but we cannot promise that it will always be available, free of errors or compatible with every device.

12.2     Charging is provided by the operators. Their chargers, packages and charges are covered by their terms, not by Shahin.

12.3     We are not responsible for indirect losses, such as lost time, income or data.

12.4     Our total responsibility to you for the app is limited to OMR 150.

12.5     Nothing in these terms limits responsibility for death, injury or damage to your property caused by our fault, for fraud, or for anything else that Omani law does not allow to be limited, and nothing affects your rights as a consumer under Omani law.

13. App store terms

13.1     These terms are between you and Shahin, not the app store. Shahin, not the app store, is responsible for the app, its content, maintenance and support, and the app store has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it.

13.2     You must also follow the terms of the app store you downloaded the app from. If these terms conflict with the app store's terms on a matter that concerns the app store, the app store's terms apply.

13.3     If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store and it does not work as these terms describe, you can tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the app, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app, and any other claims, losses or costs from the app not meeting a warranty are Shahin's responsibility, not Apple's.

13.4     Apple is not responsible for any claim about the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, privacy or intellectual property claims. Shahin, not Apple, handles these, including investigating, defending, settling and discharging any intellectual property claim.

13.5     You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

14. Closing your account

14.1     You can delete your account at any time in Settings > Delete Account, or by emailing support@shahinev.com.

14.2     We may suspend or close your account, without notice if necessary, if you break these terms or the law, give false details, or put the app, the chargers or other people at risk.

14.3     When you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except what we must keep to settle disputes, prevent fraud or meet legal duties. Data held by an operator, and any unused package, are covered by that operator's terms.

15. Changes

15.1     We may update the app, add or remove features, or pause it for maintenance or security.

15.2     We may update these terms. We will tell you in the app before important changes take effect, and ask you to accept them where needed. The date at the top shows the latest version. Operators update their own annexes, as described in Part 2.

Annex A: EVO Package and Charging Terms

This annex to the Shahin App terms sets out the terms of Electric Vehicles One LLC (EVO). It applies only when you buy an EVO package or charge at an EVO charger using the Shahin App.

Last updated: 15 October 2026

1. Who we are

1.1       EVO is Electric Vehicles One LLC, Al Qurum, Bausher, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. In this annex ("these terms"), "EVO", "we" and "us" mean EVO, and "you" means the account holder.

1.2       These terms are a separate agreement between you and EVO. Shahin is not a party to them. They apply to EVO packages and to charging at EVO chargers, alongside the Shahin App terms. For anything about EVO packages or EVO chargers, these terms apply.

1.3       The app asks you to accept these terms before your first EVO purchase. By buying an EVO package or starting a charge at an EVO charger, you agree to them.

2. Our packages

2.1       The app shows our current packages, with the price, VAT, what is included, how long each package lasts and whether it renews automatically. The details shown when you buy are the ones that apply.

2.2       There are two kinds of package:

•        Energy packages let you use up to the amount of charging energy shown in the app, over one or more charges, while the package is active.

•        Unlimited packages let you charge as often as you like while the package is active, within the fair use limits in Part 6.

2.3       You need an active EVO package to charge at EVO chargers, and packages can only be used at EVO chargers.

2.4       A package starts when you buy it and ends at the time shown in the app. Anything you have not used by then expires.

2.5       For energy packages, the app may show how far you can drive as an estimate1 2. The energy you receive is measured by the charger's meter.

2.6       You can buy a package more than once, as the app allows.

2.7       Packages are for your account only. They cannot be transferred, resold or exchanged for cash.

2.8       From time to time we may offer promotional packages. Any special conditions are shown in the app.

3. Prices and payment

3.1       Prices are in Omani Rials. VAT is added at the applicable rate and shown before you pay.

3.2       You pay EVO the full price when you buy, through EVO's payment provider in the app.

3.3       Invoices will be sent by email to the address registered on the customer's account.

3.4       We may change our packages and prices at any time. Changes apply to new purchases and to renewals, not to a package period you have already paid for.

4. Automatic renewal

4.1       A package renews automatically when it ends if the app shows it as auto-renewing or you turn on automatic renewal for it. The renewal is charged to the payment method you saved with EVO's payment provider. Before you buy, the app shows the price, how often the package renews and how to turn renewal off.

4.2       The renewal is charged at the price shown in the app for that package on the renewal date.

4.3       You can turn off automatic renewal in the app at any time before the renewal date. Your package then stays active until it ends. Deleting your account also stops renewal and ends any active package. Refunds for any unused part follow Part 5.

4.4       If the renewal payment does not go through, the package does not renew.

5. Refunds

5.1       You cannot cancel a package or get a refund because you change your mind. Any other refund, credit, replacement package or extra time is at our discretion, except as set out in 5.2 or required by law.

5.2       If a fault at an EVO charger or in our systems means you do not get the charging you paid for, contact EVO support. We will look into it and, where the fault is confirmed, we will, as we choose, restore the energy, extend your package or refund the affected part.

5.3       This does not affect any refund rights you have under Omani law.

6. Fair use

6.1       Packages are for personal use only. They cannot be used for taxi, ride-hailing, delivery, fleet or other commercial purposes unless you have a corporate agreement with EVO.

6.2       Each package is for one user, the account holder, and cannot be shared.

6.3       You can only have one charge running at a time.

6.4       Each unlimited package has a fair use limit for its package period. Charging under the package must not go above the equivalent of1 2:

•        1 day package: 850 km

•        1 week package: 2,100 km

•        1 month package: 4,200 km

For a package longer than 1 month, the 1 month limit applies to each 30 days of the package. If you reach the limit, charging under the package may stop for the rest of that period, and we may also act under 6.7.

6.5       Charging at EVO chargers starts through geo-fencing: your phone must be at the charger, with location turned on, to start a charge.

6.6       When your charge is finished, please move your car so others can charge. If you repeatedly leave your car at a charger after charging has ended, we may suspend your package or your access to EVO chargers.

6.7       If we reasonably believe a package is being used against these rules, we may stop a charge, suspend or cancel the package, or suspend your access to EVO chargers. Any refund is at our discretion, subject to Omani law.

7. Charging at EVO chargers

7.1       Check that your car is compatible with the charger and connector, and follow the instructions at the charger and in the app.

7.2       Charging speed depends on your car, its battery level and temperature, the charger model, and how many cars are charging at the same charger. We cannot guarantee a particular speed, charging time or charge level.

7.3       Chargers may sometimes be unavailable because of maintenance, faults, power supply issues or other reasons outside our control. We cannot guarantee that a charger will be available when you arrive.

7.4       Follow the rules of the site where the charger is located, such as parking rules and opening hours.

7.5       If you see damage, a fault or anything unsafe, stop charging, do not use the charger, and report it in the app or to EVO support. In an emergency, such as smoke, fire or sparks, move away and call 9999.

7.6       You are responsible for damage to an EVO charger caused by your misuse, negligence or deliberate act.

8. Our responsibility to you

8.1       We are not responsible for damage to your car or property caused by an incompatible car, misuse of the charger, or not following the instructions at the charger or in the app.

8.2       We are not responsible for indirect losses, such as lost time, income or opportunity.

8.3       Our total responsibility for a package is limited to the price you paid for it.

8.4       The limits in 8.1 to 8.3 do not apply to death or injury caused by a fault in an EVO charger or by our negligence, to fraud, or to anything else that Omani law does not allow to be limited. The limit in 8.3 does not apply to damage to your car or property caused by a fault in an EVO charger or by our negligence. Nothing in these terms affects your rights as a consumer under Omani law.

9. Your privacy

9.1       EVO protects the personal data it uses to provide your packages and take your payments, in line with Oman's Personal Data Protection Law (Royal Decree 6/2022).

9.2       We use it to provide your packages and charging, for billing and invoices, to help you when you contact us, to apply fair use and prevent fraud, to improve our network, and to meet legal requirements.

9.3       We share it with the Shahin App, our payment provider, companies that support or advise us (such as IT, audit and legal service providers), and authorities where the law or an official directive requires it.

9.4       With your consent, we may send you offers and news. You can opt out at any time.

9.5       To see, correct or delete the data we hold about you, or to withdraw your consent, contact support@evo.om. We reply within 45 days. We keep your data while you use EVO packages, and after that only as long as needed to settle disputes, prevent fraud or meet legal duties; for example, tax records are kept for 10 years.

10. Suspension

10.1     We may suspend or cancel a package, or your access to EVO chargers, if you break these terms, misuse a charger, put people or property at risk, or give false details. Any refund is at our discretion, subject to Omani law.

11. Changes to these terms

11.1     We may update these terms. We will tell EVO customers in the app before important changes take effect. Changes to these terms do not change the Shahin App terms.

11.2     Changes will not reduce the benefits of a package period you have already paid for, unless the law or an official directive requires it.

12. Help and complaints

13. Law and language

13.1     These terms are governed by the laws of the Sultanate of Oman, and the courts of Oman deal with any dispute.

13.2     These terms are available in Arabic and English. If they differ, the Arabic version applies.

1 Distances are converted from the charging energy used, at 20 kWh per 100 km.

2 Actual driving range differs between vehicles and depends on the car, how it is driven and the conditions. Fair use limits are measured on the charging energy used, converted as in note 1, not on the distance your car actually drives.
