6. ORDERING, PAYMENT AND CANCELLING TRANSPORTATION SERVICE TERMS.

If the Busy Boda app user orders  transportation and the driver has confirmed the receipt of service then the transportation is considered pre-ordered. All pricing is reflected in local currency (Kenya Shillings) unless otherwise specifically denoted on the screen. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider (“Charges”). After you have received services or goods obtained through your use of the Service, Busy Boda will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of 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 Busy Boda. Further as between you and Busy Boda, Busy Boda reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in Busy Boda’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. Busy Boda 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.

You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third Party Provider for services or goods received by you from such Third Party Provider at the time you receive such services or goods. Busy Boda will respond accordingly to any request from a Third Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good. The Company reserves the right to determine the final prevailing pricing. Please take note the pricing information that may published on the website may not reflect the prevailing pricing. Busy Boda 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 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 Services or the Charges applied to you. These promotional offers, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your offer or contract. The Company may change the fees for our Services as we deem necessary for our business. We encourage you to check back at our website ir terms and conditions periodically if you are interested about how we charge for the Services. All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Busy Boda using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which Busy Boda will 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 Busy Boda may, as the Third Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services or goods provided. Any representation by Busy Boda (on Busy Boda’s website, in the Application, or in Busy Boda’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 Busy Boda 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 or goods 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 Service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third Party Provider.

You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, Third Party Provider motor bikes and property resulting from use of the 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 Busy Boda in Busy Boda’s reasonable discretion, Busy Boda 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 Busy Boda to the applicable Third Party Provider and are non-refundable. Busy Boda does not guarantee the price of your ride once notified to you by SMS or on the Application as this is an estimate only. The actual fare payable will be broadly similar to the estimate we have provided, but the exact fare depends on various conditions beyond our control. The actual fare payable will be displayed at the end of the ride and this fare will be deducted from your nominated credit card account automatically.

Cancelling the use of an ordered transportation is considered to be the situation where the driver has notified about the receipt of an order and the Busy Boda app user waives the transportation service after receipt of the notice. Cancelling the use of an ordered transportation is also considered to be the situation where the user of the Busy Boda app or people whom the transportation was ordered for do not appear on the motor bike within 5 minutes as of the time when the driver notified them about the arrival of the motor bike in its destination. In case of cancelling the transportation service the Busy Boda app user has to pay a penalty fee at our discretion. In the event that the Busy Boda user notifies about the cancelling of transportation service within 2 minutes as of receiving of the notification concerning the receipt of the order through Busy Boda, the user does not have to pay the penalty fee. We have the right to revoke the right to use the app if the user has waived the use of transportation service on 3 successive instances in one 24 hour period. In the case the app notifies the user about the number of cancellations and after waiving the 3rd time, Busy Boda cancels the usage right. Busy Boda usage right can be cancelled for up to six months. After that the user can reactivate his/her user account by contacting the local team via email.
