Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

By creating an account or using this platform as a rider, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully before booking any ride.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to register as a rider. By registering, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and up to date. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts found to contain false information.

2. Account Responsibility

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Any activity performed under your account is your responsibility. Notify us immediately at support if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Booking a Ride

When you request a ride, you enter into a direct service agreement with the driver. We act as a technology platform connecting riders and drivers — we are not a transportation provider. Ride availability depends on driver presence in your area.

  • Set your pickup and destination accurately before confirming.
  • Fare estimates are displayed before booking and may vary due to traffic or route changes.
  • Rides are confirmed only after a driver accepts your request.

4. Fares & Payment

Fares are calculated based on distance, time, and applicable surcharges. All fares are displayed in BDT (৳). You agree to pay the full fare upon trip completion.

  • Payment may be made via cash or in-app wallet as available.
  • Additional charges (tolls, waiting time) may apply and will be shown at trip end.
  • Receipts are available in-app after each completed trip.

5. Cancellation Policy

You may cancel a ride before the driver arrives. Repeated cancellations or cancellations after the driver has arrived may result in a cancellation fee and/or temporary account restrictions.

  • Cancellations within 2 minutes of booking: no fee.
  • Cancellations after 2 minutes: a nominal fee may apply.

6. Rider Conduct

You agree to treat drivers with respect. The following are strictly prohibited:

  • Verbal or physical abuse of any driver or third party.
  • Damaging the driver's vehicle.
  • Requesting the driver to break traffic laws.
  • Travelling with more passengers than the vehicle capacity.
  • Consuming alcohol or illegal substances during the trip.

Violations may result in permanent account suspension and legal action.

7. Lost & Found

We are not responsible for items left in a vehicle. If you leave an item behind, you may contact the driver through the app. Retrieval of items is at the driver's discretion and availability.

8. Safety

Always verify the vehicle plate number and driver photo before boarding. Use the share-trip feature for your safety. In case of emergency, contact local authorities (999) and then notify us via the app.

9. Ratings & Feedback

After each trip you will be asked to rate your driver. Your rating contributes to maintaining service quality. Abusive or false ratings violate our community guidelines and may result in account action.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, including delays, route deviations, or driver conduct. Our total liability shall not exceed the fare amount of the relevant trip.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
