4. NATURE OF THE CARPOOL PLATFORM
CoRide provides a technology-enabled matching and facilitation service. CoRide does not itself transport Carpool Takers, operate the Ride Vehicle, or employ the Carpool Giver merely because the Giver uses the Platform.
The decision to offer, accept or complete a ride is made by the relevant Users. CoRide does not control driving, vehicle condition or conduct outside the Platform.
Carpool Services are intended for genuine ride-sharing and eligible cost sharing, not for operating a taxi, stage carriage, contract carriage, commercial passenger transport or other transportation business through the Platform.
5. ELIGIBILITY, ACCOUNT AND VERIFICATION
- You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of contracting.
- You must provide accurate, current and complete information and update it when necessary.
- One person may maintain only one Account unless CoRide expressly permits otherwise.
- Do not share, sell, transfer or allow another person to use Your Account, OTP, password or authentication credentials.
- You are responsible for activity under Your Account and must promptly report suspected unauthorised access.
- CoRide may verify identity, contact details, driving licence, vehicle, insurance, PUC, employment or other information reasonably required for safety, fraud prevention, compliance or service operation.
- Verification is not a guarantee that a User is safe, suitable, truthful or capable of performing a ride.
6. CARPOOL GIVER OBLIGATIONS
- Be at least 18 years old and legally authorised to drive the Ride Vehicle.
- Hold a valid driving licence and have lawful authority to use the Ride Vehicle.

Harassment, stalking, threats, violence, sexual misconduct, discrimination, abusive behaviour, impersonation, fraud, and misuse of another User's personal information are prohibited.
Users should use the Platform's communication tools where available. CoRide may suspend or restrict an Account, remove content, cancel matches, or take other reasonable action where it reasonably believes there is a safety, fraud, legal, or platform-integrity concern.
In the event of an emergency or imminent safety threat, Users should contact the appropriate emergency authorities first and report the incident to CoRide as soon as reasonably practicable.
9. RIDE CREATION, MATCHING AND CANCELLATION
Matching may use route, time, location, preferences, and availability. A match does not guarantee that a ride will occur.
A Carpool Giver decides whether to accept a Carpool Taker, and a Carpool Taker decides whether to accept a ride. A ride is confirmed only in accordance with the status shown on the Platform.
- Users should cancel as early as reasonably possible.
- Cancellation and no-show consequences, if any, will be displayed through the Platform and may depend on the timing and circumstances of the cancellation or no-show.
- If a Carpool Giver materially changes a confirmed ride, the affected Carpool Taker may be eligible for a reversal or refund in accordance with the applicable cancellation policy.
- CoRide may waive or modify cancellation consequences in cases involving emergencies, safety issues, technical failures, or circumstances beyond a User's reasonable control.
- Repeated cancellations, no-shows, or booking abuse may result in restrictions or suspension of the User's Account.
10. CARPOOL WALLET – CHARACTER AND SCOPE
The Carpool Wallet is a restricted in-app mechanism for recording and facilitating eligible Carpool-related transactions. It may support Ride Contributions, permitted refunds or reversals, promotional credits, and other Carpool-related adjustments expressly enabled by CoRide.
The Carpool Wallet is not intended to function as a bank account, deposit account, general-purpose payment wallet, remittance facility, or money-transfer service. Except where expressly permitted by Applicable Law and supported by the actual product structure, it does not provide cash withdrawal or general cash redemption.
Nothing in these Terms represents that the Carpool Wallet is an RBI-regulated Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) or any other regulated payment instrument unless CoRide expressly states so and the applicable regulatory requirements have been satisfied.
11. WALLET FUNDING AND USE
- Funding methods, if any, will be displayed on the Platform and may use payment instruments supported by CoRide or its payment partners.
- The Carpool Balance may be used only for eligible Carpool transactions and other uses expressly enabled or displayed on the Platform.
- Where Platform-based settlement is mandatory, cash settlement directly between the Carpool Giver and Carpool Taker is prohibited.
- Do not use the Carpool Wallet for unrelated person-to-person transfers, loans, remittances, circulation of funds, money laundering, or any activity unrelated to genuine Carpool transactions.
- CoRide may impose reasonable transaction, balance, frequency, or usage limits and may change such limits prospectively with appropriate notice.
- CoRide may hold, reverse, adjust, or restrict a balance in cases of duplicate credits, failed transactions, chargebacks, fraud, unauthorised activity, technical errors, or other legitimate reasons, subject to Applicable Law.
12. WALLET RIDE SETTLEMENT
Where the Platform uses the Carpool Wallet, the Ride Contribution displayed before confirmation will be the amount or value to be settled, subject to applicable cancellation and adjustment rules.
After the qualifying ride status is recorded, the Platform may debit the applicable amount from the Carpool Taker's Carpool Wallet and credit the corresponding eligible amount to the Carpool Giver's Carpool Wallet, after deducting any disclosed Platform Fee, applicable tax, or other permitted charge.
Amounts received by a Carpool Giver are intended to represent the sharing of eligible ride-related costs and must not be represented or used as commercial passenger-transport income in violation of Applicable Law or these Terms.
13. WALLET CREDITS, PROMOTIONS AND CORRECTIONS
- Promotional credits, cashback, and bonuses may be subject to separate eligibility, expiry, and usage conditions.
- Promotional credits are not automatically transferable, withdrawable, or redeemable for cash.
- CoRide may correct erroneous credits or debits and recover amounts arising from technical errors or fraudulent activity, subject to Applicable Law.
- Users must not exploit wallet, cashback, referral, or promotional mechanisms through fake accounts, self-referrals, collusion, or automated activity.
14. REFUNDS, REVERSALS AND ACCOUNT CLOSURE
Where a refund or reversal is due under the applicable policy, due to a failed or duplicate transaction, or for any other valid reason, CoRide may credit the eligible amount to the Carpool Wallet or return it through the original payment method, as appropriate to the transaction and Applicable Law.
A Carpool Wallet Balance does not automatically become a cash entitlement merely because a User stops using the Carpool Services. The treatment of residual balances upon closure will be governed by the actual wallet structure, disclosed policy, and Applicable Law.
Before closing an Account, Users should complete or resolve any pending rides, refunds, disputes, and other transactions. CoRide may retain records required for legal, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other lawful purposes.
15. FEES AND TAXES
CoRide may charge disclosed Platform Fees, subscription fees, or other charges for Carpool Services. Applicable taxes may be charged as required by law.
Future fee changes may be communicated through the Platform or registered contact channels. The fee applicable to a completed transaction will be the fee disclosed for that transaction, subject to correction of manifest errors or fraudulent activity.
16. PROHIBITED USES
- Using the Carpool Services as a taxi, commercial passenger service, stage carriage, or contract carriage.
- Offering rides primarily to earn a profit or commercial income rather than to share a journey and eligible ride-related costs.
- Creating or using false, duplicate, or impersonated Accounts.
- Manipulating location, route, ride, wallet, referral, rating, or transaction data.
- Using bots, crawlers, scripts, or other automated means to access or manipulate the Platform.

CoRide should maintain a separate Privacy Policy aligned with its actual data roles, notices, lawful-use mechanisms, retention practices, and grievance processes.

CoRide is not responsible for matters solely within a third party's systems, subject to CoRide's obligations under Applicable Law.
21. SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND DISCLAIMERS
CoRide will use reasonable efforts to maintain the Carpool Services; however, uninterrupted or error-free operation is not guaranteed. The Services may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, network failures, security incidents, regulatory requirements, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond CoRide's reasonable control.
Location, estimated time of arrival (ETA), route, matching, and similar information may be inaccurate, incomplete, or delayed. Users should exercise their independent judgment and should not rely on the Platform for emergency or critical transportation.
CoRide does not warrant that every User is who they claim to be, that every ride will occur, or that User information is complete or accurate. CoRide does not control the driving, vehicle condition, or conduct of Users during a ride.
22. INDEMNITY
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CoRide, its directors, officers, employees, and service providers from and against third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from Your breach of these Terms, unlawful conduct, misuse of the Platform, fraud, violation of another person's rights, or Your acts or omissions connected with a ride.
This provision does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Applicable Law.
23. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, CoRide will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses or damages, including loss of profits, goodwill, business opportunities, or anticipated savings.

- CoRide may cancel pending rides or restrict Wallet functionality where reasonably necessary to protect Users, the Platform, or transaction integrity.

26. COMMUNICATIONS
