  • Ride-hailing services (Taxi/Delivery App)

  • Delivery and logistics services (Taxi/Delivery App)

  • Digital payments and transactions

Our refund approach is designed to be fair, case-based, and consistent with industry standards, while ensuring accountability from all parties involved.


2. General Refund Principles

  • Refunds are not automatic and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

  • We may issue refunds in the form of:

    • Original payment reversal

    • Wallet credit within the app

    • Service vouchers or adjustments

  • Refund decisions are based on:

    • Transaction records

    • Driver or service provider reports

    • GPS and trip data

    • Customer complaints and supporting evidence


3. Ride-Hailing Services (Taxi/Delivery App)

3.1 Completed Trips

For successfully completed trips, refunds are generally not issued unless there is a valid concern such as:

  • Incorrect fare calculation

  • Driver taking an unnecessarily long route

  • Trip not properly ended in the app

If any of the above occurs, users may request a fare review.

Cancellation fees may apply in the following situations:

  • When a rider cancels after the allowed free cancellation period

You may request a refund of a cancellation fee if:

  • The driver did not move toward your location

  • The driver asked you to cancel the trip

  • The driver took an unusually long time to arrive

  • There was a system or app error


3.3 No-Show Policy

If a driver arrives and waits for the designated waiting period but the rider does not show up, a cancellation fee may be charged. Refunds in such cases are typically not granted unless evidence shows:

  • Incorrect pickup location

  • Communication failure due to app issues

  • Safety-related concerns


3.4 Driver Conduct & Safety Issues

Refunds or credits may be issued if:

  • You felt unsafe during the trip

  • The driver behaved inappropriately

  • The vehicle condition was unacceptable

  • The driver did not follow the agreed route or instructions

All such cases are investigated thoroughly before action is taken.
