Refund & Cancellation Policy

Effective Date: January 16, 2026

Jamaica: new-feature policy supplement

Version JM-2026-10-07 · Added 7 October 2026 · Jamaica operations only

Legal-review notice: these rules distinguish platform policy from legal and carrier requirements. They are not an exhaustive statement of law, proof of regulatory approval or certification of compliance. The operator must obtain Jamaican legal review before relying on them as final contractual terms. Current law and non-excludable consumer rights take priority over inconsistent earlier wording.

Payments, refunds and consumer rights

Ride-share payments and refunds

Food-order cancellation windows do not automatically apply to rides. Review any disclosed ride cancellation/no-show terms before booking; challenge a charge if the driver did not arrive, the trip was not provided, a safety issue occurred or the amount is incorrect. Card authorisation may temporarily reserve funds and is not itself a final charge; bank release and refund posting times vary. Refunds and adjustments depend on the facts and applicable rights, not an automatic promise for every cancelled ride. Keep the ride reference and receipt. Never pay a second time solely because a card hold remains visible.

Inter-parish sales and carrier claims

Assess the product sale, carrier shipping charge and any separately arranged final-mile charge separately. A carrier handover does not mean the buyer has received the goods. For defects, missing items, loss, damage or failed delivery, contact Support and the responsible seller/carrier promptly, retain packaging and provide available evidence. Changed-mind returns and disclosed return costs are distinct from remedies for defective or misdescribed goods. Do not assume carrier insurance, a fixed payout, a mandatory 24-hour claim limit or a blanket non-refundable shipping fee. Check current carrier terms; statutory remedies take priority.

Advertising disputes and statutory protection

An ad impression or a food clip is not a purchase or a guarantee of product availability. Purchased goods and services remain subject to their applicable refund terms and Jamaican consumer rights. Sponsor payment or campaign disputes require the actual agreed campaign terms and delivery records; no undocumented refund or performance guarantee is implied. The Consumer Protection Act prohibits misleading practices and preserves remedies in applicable circumstances. Nothing in these policies removes statutory rights or excludes liability where Jamaican law does not permit it, including prohibited exclusions for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Earlier general disclaimers, liability caps or short reporting windows must be read subject to this protection.
