Bundles and Credits

As part of your Account, SWVL may provide you with access to a wallet feature in the SWVL mobile application which may allow you to: (i) manage payment for Services; (ii) add and store pre-paid credit balance (“SWVL Credit”); and/or (iii) transfer SWVL Credit to or receive SWVL Credit from other users, against payment of any applicable fees and subject to any limits on the number of transfers or the amount of SWVL Credit you can send and/or receive, which fees and limits may be modified by SWVL (in its sole discretion) from time to time.

When transferring SWVL Credit balance to another user, the amount transferred and the applicable fees (if any) will be deducted from your Account balance and will be transferred to the other user. Once the request for the transfer of SWVL Credit is completed, the transfer cannot be cancelled or otherwise reversed. You agree that in providing you with this feature, SWVL is merely enabling the transfer of SWVL Credit balance and is no way responsible for the actions of the individual users, including the reason for which SWVL Credit is transferred by or to you.

You may be entitled to purchase bundles of SWVL Credit (“SWVL Bundles”) or you may receive trip discounts ("Trip Discounts") that you can apply toward payment of certain services provided by SWVL or fees charged by SWVL in relation to the Services.

SWVL Bundles, SWVL Credits and Trip Discounts are only valid for use on the SWVL Platform and are not transferable or redeemable for cash, are non-refundable, and may only be used for certain Services. SWVL Bundles and Trip Discounts cannot be combined, and if the cost of your ride exceeds the applicable credit or discount value we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the trip.

Additional restrictions on SWVL Bundles, SWVL Credits and Trip Discounts may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion or specific terms. SWVL may cancel, or vary the terms, relating to any SWVL Bundles, SWVL Credits or Trip Discounts at any time in its sole discretion.

SWVL may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at SWVL's sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.

In the event that you undertake in any of the above while participating in SWVL Services, the driver shall be permitted to refuse to provide you services or, if such services have commenced, a driver shall be permitted to refuse to continue to provide you services.

You understand that use of the SWVL Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider (which shall also include any amounts which are charged by SWVL for the provision of the SWVL Services) ("Charges"). After you have received services obtained through your use of the SWVL Service, SWVL may: (a) facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider as such Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent; and (b) collect any applicable fees payable to SWVL directly from you or, in the case of a cash payment, from the relevant Third Party Provider on your behalf. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Provider. Charges may include other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges, including a booking fee, national, provincial and municipal tolls, airport surcharges and processing fees for split payments, and will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by SWVL. You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third Party Provider for services received by you from such Third Party Provider at the time you receive such services. SWVL will respond accordingly to any request from a Third Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service.

All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by SWVL using the preferred payment method designated in your Account (which may include, credit card, cash, mobile payment, or such other payment methods which SWVL may accept in your jurisdiction), after which your ride history in your Account will be updated with a receipt for the ride and SWVL may also send you a receipt by email. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that SWVL may, as the Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account (including any amounts which may be deposited in the SWVL wallet), if available.

As between you and SWVL, SWVL reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the SWVL Services at any time in SWVL's sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. SWVL will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. SWVL may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the SWVL Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the SWVL Services or the Charges applied to you.

You may elect to cancel your request for services from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to such Third Party Provider's arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.

This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services provided. SWVL does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Third Party Provider. Any representation by SWVL (on SWVL's website, in the Application, or in SWVL's marketing materials) to the effect that tipping is "voluntary," "not required," and/or "included" in the payments you make for services or goods provided is not intended to suggest that SWVL provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the Third Party Provider. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third Party Provider who provides you with services obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through the SWVL Service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third Party Provider.

Repair or Cleaning Fees

You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, Third Party Provider vehicles and property resulting from use of the SWVL Services under your Account in excess of normal "wear and tear" damages and necessary cleaning ("Repair or Cleaning"). In the event that a Third Party Provider reports the need for Repair or Cleaning, and such Repair or Cleaning request is verified by SWVL in SWVL's reasonable discretion, SWVL reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the Third Party Provider using your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by SWVL to the applicable Third Party Provider and are non-refundable.

IN THE EVENT THEREOF, YOU AGREE TO PROVIDE PROPER NOTIFICATION OF AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND ACCEPT THE BENEFIT OF ANY INSURANCE SERVICE PROVIDED AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SWVL IS NOT ACTING AS A BROKER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE ANY GUARANTEES, WARRANTIES OR ANY OTHER ASSURANCES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

SWVL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RELATED TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE SWVL SERVICES, EVEN IF SWVL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SWVL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LIABILITY OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF: (I) YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SWVL SERVICES OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SWVL SERVICES; (II) ANY TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, EVEN IF SWVL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (III) ANY TRANSACTION, INTERACTION OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND ANY OTHER PERSON WHO IS USING THE SWVL SERVICES, EVEN IF SWVL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SWVL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND SWVL’S REASONABLE CONTROL. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIRD PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES REQUESTED THROUGH SOME REQUEST BRANDS MAY OFFER RIDESHARING OR PEER-TO-PEER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND MAY NOT BE PROFESSIONALLY LICENSED OR PERMITTED. IN NO EVENT SHALL SWVL’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SWVL SERVICES FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED UNITED STATES DOLLARS FIVE HUNDRED ($500) OR THE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT IN THE CURRENCY IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

THE SWVL SERVICES MAY BE USED BY YOU TO REQUEST AND SCHEDULE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES WITH THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, BUT YOU AGREE THAT SWVL HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO YOU RELATED TO ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER IN THIS SECTION 5 DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

INDEMNITY

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD SWVL AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH: (I) YOUR USE OF THE SWVL SERVICES OR SERVICES OR GOODS OBTAINED THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SWVL SERVICES; (II) YOUR BREACH OR VIOLATION OF ANY OF THESE TERMS; (III) SWVL’S USE OF YOUR USER CONTENT; OR (IV) YOUR VIOLATION OF THE RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS AND OTHER USERS.

Lost Property

You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that you remove your property from the vehicle of a Third Party Provider when disembarking. Should you leave your property in the vehicle of a Third Party Provider, the Third Party Provider may hand over your property to you, SWVL or to the SWVL local service entity.

Whilst you may expect Third Party Providers to hand over your property to you, the offices of SWVL or the SWVL local service entity, SWVL or the SWVL local service entity shall not be held liable in the event of the Third Party Provider not handing over your property as expected. Moreover, SWVL or the SWVL local service entity shall not be liable for the loss or damage to your property whilst it is in transit.

Whilst SWVL or the SWVL local service entity will take reasonable steps to establish the owner of property left in a Third Party Provider’s vehicle if returned to the offices of SWVL or the SWVL local service entity, when your property is in SWVL’s or the SWVL local service entity’s possession, you understand and agree that: (i) SWVL or the SWVL local service entity will only keep your property in its possession for a maximum period of one month from the date on which the Third Party Provider handed your property to SWVL or the SWVL local service entity; and (ii) should you fail to collect your property from SWVL or the SWVL local service entity before the expiry of the one month period stipulated, SWVL or the SWVL local service entity will be entitled to deal with your property as it deems fit and you shall have no claim whatsoever against SWVL or the SWVL local service entity in respect of your unclaimed property.

Arbitration

You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Applications or SWVL Services (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration between you and any relevant Affiliate in your jurisdiction, or between you and SWVL Inc if no other Affiliate is incorporated in your jurisdiction, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and SWVL are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and the relevant Affiliate otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of this Agreement. This “Dispute Resolution” section applies to all Disputes (as defined below) between you and SWVL and/or any of its Affiliates.

Arbitration Process and Rules

Any dispute, conflict, claim or controversy arising out of or broadly in connection with or relating to the Applications or these Terms, including those relating to its validity, its construction or its enforceability (any “Dispute”) shall be first mandatorily submitted to mediation proceedings under the International Chamber of Commerce Mediation Rules (“ICC Mediation Rules”). If such Dispute has not been settled within sixty (60) days after a request for mediation has been submitted under such ICC Mediation Rules, such Dispute can be referred to and shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Arbitration Rules”). The ICC Rules' Emergency Arbitrator provisions are excluded. The Dispute shall be resolved by one (1) arbitrator to be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The place of both mediation and arbitration shall be in the city in which the applicable Affiliate with which you have a Dispute has its registered office. The language of the mediation and/or arbitration shall be English, unless you do not speak English, in which case the mediation and/or arbitration shall be conducted in both English and your native language. The existence and content of the mediation and arbitration proceedings, including documents and briefs submitted by the parties, correspondence from and to the International Chamber of Commerce, correspondence from the mediator, and correspondence, orders and awards issued by the sole arbitrator, shall remain strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the express written consent from the other party unless: (i) the disclosure to the third party is reasonably required in the context of conducting the mediation or arbitration proceedings; and (ii) the third party agrees unconditionally in writing to be bound by the confidentiality obligation stipulated herein.

Choice of Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Affiliate is incorporated, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles, except as may be otherwise provided in supplemental terms applicable to your region.
