18.1 A request for a Booking constitutes an offer by you to purchase ROLZO Transportation Services in accordance with these Terms. This Booking request will set out the main characteristics of the ROLZO Transportation Services (including pick up and drop off points). Your offer shall only be accepted when ROLZO issues written confirmation of the relevant ROLZO Transportation Service via email or push notification from ROLZO’s mobile application, at which point and on which date and time a contract for ROLZO Transportation Services to which the Booking relates shall come into existence (“Contract“). There is no obligation on us to accept a Booking, which may be declined for any reason. If a driver becomes unavailable after we have provided you with written confirmation of the Contract, we will endeavour to find you another driver for your Booking. Where an alternative driver cannot be found, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract without compensation to you.
18.2 We will inform you of the estimated time of driver arrival and estimated time of journey completion, but these are estimates only, and time shall not be of the essence. If we cannot accept your Booking request, we will inform you of this and not charge you for ROLZO Transportation Services. Your Contract will end when the passenger journey ends or as otherwise may be provided for in these Terms.
18.3 The price for the Contract (which will include VAT, if applicable) will be provided to you via the App(s)/Website(s) Services before you place your Booking request. This may include relevant surcharges (including airport pickup, dropoff, tunnel tolls, parking or other airport charges) and/or tolls, road charging schemes, congestion charges, low emission or similar zones, and road tax. You may be charged a different amount than the price provided in certain situations, including but not limited to, material changes to the pick/up drop off point, route taken, driver waiting time, stops or traffic. The applicable rates will be available via the App(s)/Website(s) Services in this situation. These may be modified or updated from time to time. It is your responsibility to remain informed about the current rates for transportation services. Additional charges may also apply, for instance, if you, or any passenger, soils, contaminates, or damages a vehicle, in which case you may be charged for such damage and a cleaning fee.
18.4 Our accepted payment methods are set out on the App(s)/Website(s) Services. When you make a Booking request, ROLZO may need to verify your payment method by issuing a temporary authorisation hold from your bank. When ROLZO has completed the ROLZO Transportation Services, if you think a payment is incorrect, please contact us promptly to let us know.
18.5 You can make changes to your Contract through the App(s)/Website(s) Services. It will confirm if the change is not possible.
18.6 ROLZO and its affiliates may change its ROLZO Transportation Services at any time to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
18.7 Your right to cancel a Contract depends on when you decide to end the Contract. Please see Section 5 of these Terms for Cancellation of a Contract as well as our Cancellation Policy for Transfers and the Cancellation Policy for By the hour. If ROLZO is not at fault, and you do not have a right to change your mind, you can still end your Contract, but you may be charged a cancellation fee in accordance with our cancellation policy. To cancel your Contract, please follow the steps on the App(s)/Website(s) Services. ROLZO will make refunds due to you as soon as possible, where applicable.
18.8 ROLZO may end your Contract in certain circumstances, as provided for in these Terms. If ROLZO ends the Contract, ROLZO will refund any money you have paid in advance, but it may deduct or charge you as compensation for the net costs it incurs if you have broken the terms of the Contract.
