a. Cancellation Terms for Drivers:

Users rely on you for delivery or provision of the Services. You agree that high and/or frequent cancellation rates will impair the Users’ experience and negatively impact the reputation and branding of Zippy.

While you may cancel a booking, the cancellation shall be based on acceptable cancellation reasons as shown in the Application. Zippy reserves the right to amend the acceptable cancellation reasons from time to time. A cancellation that is not based on one of the acceptable reasons or ignoring a booking may be counted in determining if your access to the Service will be temporarily suspended.

If you feel that you have been unfairly rated due to the additional fees imposed on riders, please write in to support@rydezippy.com to submit your appeal. Based on our Ratings and Review Moderation Policy, the team will review your appeal and consider removing ratings that are irrelevant to the driver’s quality of service.

b. Cancellation Terms for Users:

If you decide to cancel your ride booking or do not show up at the designated location, you may be charged a Cancellation Fee or such other Cancellation Fee as Zippy may notify from time to time via the Cancellation and Waiting Time Policy on Zippy’s website.

If you feel you were incorrectly charged a Cancellation Fee, you may contact Zippy in writing at support@rydezippy.com for assistance.
