2. Definitions
§2.1“Cancellation” means termination of a booking before completion of the service.
2.2“Cancellation Fee” means a fee that may apply based on booking stage and timing, where shown in-app.
2.3“Refund” means any approved amount returned or adjusted for an eligible case in accordance with this Policy.
2.4“No-show” means the User or the Captain does not appear or is not reachable within a reasonable time at pickup as determined by platform rules.
3. When Cancellation Fees May Apply
§3.1Where the Platform displays a Cancellation Fee at the time of cancellation, the User shall be liable to pay such fee subject to applicable law.
3.2Cancellation fees (if any) are intended to compensate for costs incurred after acceptance and dispatch (including time and distance) and to deter repeated abuse of cancellations.
3.3The applicable amount, if any, shall be displayed in-app based on booking stage and may vary by city and operational conditions.
- Captain has accepted and is en route (depending on elapsed time/distance).
- Excessive repeated cancellations (abuse prevention).
- User no-show after a reasonable waiting time (if applicable).
- Goods trip cancellation after loading has started (if applicable).
Local operational rules may apply. Where in-app display differs, the in-app shown fee at the time of cancellation shall govern for that booking, subject to applicable law.
4. When Refunds May Be Eligible
§4.1Refund eligibility shall be determined on a case-by-case basis and may require verification using platform logs and available evidence.
4.2Refunds may be full or partial depending on service stage, components already delivered (including waiting time), and applicable fees.
4.3Fraudulent, abusive, or materially false claims may result in denial of refunds and may lead to account restrictions.
- Duplicate payment or payment processing error (verified).
- Trip not started due to captain unavailability (case-based).
- Incorrect charge due to system or calculation error (verified).
- Service failure confirmed by logs/support review (case-based).
Cash trips, offline settlements, and third-party payment rails may require alternate handling (e.g., adjustment/credits) subject to feasibility and lawful requirements.
5. How Refunds Are Processed
§5.1A refund request shall be raised through official support channels and shall include booking ID and a clear description of the issue.
5.2The Provider may verify requests using booking status, timestamps, geo-signals, and other available logs and evidence.
5.3Where approved, refunds shall be initiated to the original payment method where applicable, subject to payment rail limitations and compliance checks.
5.4Processing time depends on banks/payment networks; the Provider may share status updates upon request.
What to include in a refund request
