Terms of Service

This platform is a coordination tool that helps users discover, post, and manage shared rides.

All trips are arranged directly between users.

We do not guarantee that:

• a trip will occur
• a driver will arrive on time

Drivers must only post trips using vehicles they are authorized to operate.

Vehicle information may be required to:

Once a trip begins, vehicle information may be snapshotted and frozen for record-keeping and safety purposes.

When creating a trip, drivers define:

• Route and timing
• Seat and luggage limits
• Pickup and drop-off flexibility
• Payment methods
• Booking rules

Drivers are responsible for ensuring trip details are accurate.

Exact addresses may be processed into public-safe location labels (e.g., neighborhood or landmark) to protect privacy.

Precise location details may only be shared with relevant users during active coordination windows.

Riders may request or join trips depending on driver settings.

Bookings may:

• Require approval
• Be automatically accepted
• Be subject to payment windows

The platform does not process payments unless explicitly stated otherwise.

All payment arrangements are made directly between users.

We do not:

• Hold funds
• Guarantee payments
• Resolve payment disputes

The platform includes automated systems that may:

• Expire unpaid bookings
• Lock trips at cutoff times
• Start check-in windows
• Auto-start trips if drivers are late
• Auto-complete trips after extended inactivity

These actions are best-effort safeguards, not guarantees.

Notifications are provided for convenience.

We do not guarantee:

• delivery
• timing
• accuracy in all cases

Users are responsible for checking trip status within the platform.

Personal information (such as names, phone numbers, pickup notes) is shown only when relevant to an active or recent trip.

Access may change automatically based on:

• trip status
• booking status
• time since trip completion

The platform may retain limited historical records (e.g., completed trips, bookings, ratings) for safety, accountability, and system integrity.

Users must:

• Treat others respectfully
• Avoid harassment, discrimination, or abuse
• Avoid illegal activity

We may investigate reports of misuse and take action including:

• warnings

We are not obligated to mediate disputes.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts at any time for:

• policy violations
• safety concerns
• abuse or misuse
• system integrity reasons

We are not required to provide continued access.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for accidents, injuries, losses, or damages
• We are not responsible for user behavior
• We are not responsible for missed rides or failed coordination

The platform is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.
