As a User, you authorize MakBoda to match you with a Driver or Rider based on factors such as your location, the estimated time to pick up, your destination, user preferences, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Ride-hailing Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. Each Rideshare Service provided by a Driver to a Rider shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.

b. In certain instances, Riders may have the option to rent Motorbikes through MakBoda to ride to their destination. In some markets, these Motorbikes are owned by MakBoda. In other markets MakBoda operates a bike-share program on behalf of third parties.

4. Charges

a. As a rider, you understand that request or use of Ride-hailing Services may result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges related to Additional Services are addressed in the applicable Auxiliary Agreement. Charges for Ride-hailing Services include Fares and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes as set forth from time to time on the MakBoda website, plus any tips to the Driver that you elect to pay.

b. MakBoda has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by posting applicable pricing terms in any and all locations it operates and when quoting you a price for a specific ride at the time you make a request.

c. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request as described on the MakBoda website. You are responsible for reviewing the MakBoda website or price quote within the MakBoda app and shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.

d. Fares
There are two types of fares, variable and quoted.

Variable Fares. Variable fares consist of a base charge and incremental charges based on the duration and distance of your ride. Minimum fares apply. Please note that we use GPS data from your Driver’s phone to calculate the distance traveled on your ride. We cannot guarantee the availability or accuracy of GPS data. If we lose signal, we will calculate time and distance using available data from your ride.

Quoted Fares. In some cases, MakBoda may quote you a Fare at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the ride request is confirmed. If during your ride you change your destination, make multiple stops, or attempt to abuse MakBoda, we may cancel the fare quote and charge you a variable fare based on the time and distance of your ride. MakBoda does not guarantee that the quoted fare price will be equal to a variable fare for the same ride. Quoted Fares may include the Fees and Other Charges below, as applicable.

e. Fees and other Charges

Service Fee. You may be charged a “Service Fee” for each ride as set forth on the MakBoda website or in the MakBoda App.
Prime Time. At times of high demand for Ride-hailing Services ("Prime Time”) you acknowledge that Charges may increase substantially. For all rides with a variable fare, we will use reasonable efforts to inform you of any Prime Time multipliers in effect at the time of your request. For quoted fares, we may factor in the Prime Time multiplier into the quoted price of the ride.
Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride you may cancel it through the app, but note that in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You may also be charged if you fail to show up after requesting a ride. Please check out our Help Center to learn more about MakBoda’s Cancellation Policy, including applicable fees.
Damage Fee. If a Driver reports that you have materially damaged the Driver's vehicle, you agree to pay a “Damage Fee” of up to UGX 1,000,000 depending on the extent of the damage as determined by MakBoda in its sole discretion, towards vehicle repair or cleaning. MakBoda reserves the right but is not obligated to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
Other Charges. Other fees and surcharges may apply to your ride, including actual or anticipated airport fees, Local or Central Government taxes and fees, or event fees as determined by MakBoda or its marketing partners. In addition, where required by law, MakBoda will collect applicable taxes. vi. Tips. Following a ride, you may elect to tip your Driver in cash or through the MakBoda application. You may also elect to set a default tip amount or percentage through the app; Any tips will be provided entirely to the applicable Driver.

f. General

Facilitation of Charges. All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processor. MakBoda may replace its third-party payment processor without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the payment channels MakBoda designates on the MakBoda website or in the MakBoda App. Your payment of Charges to MakBoda satisfies your payment obligation for your use of MakBoda and Ride-hailing Services. MakBoda may group multiple charges into a single aggregate transaction on your payment method based on the date(s) they were incurred. If you don't recognize a transaction, then check your ride receipts and payment history and contact us immediately for resolution, in any case, within 3 working days of such occurrence.
No Refunds. All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall always apply regardless of your decision to terminate usage of MakBoda, any disruption to MakBoda or Ride-hailing Services, or any other reason whatsoever.
Coupons. You may receive coupons that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges upon completion of a Ride. Coupons are only valid for use on MakBoda and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Coupons cannot be combined, and if the cost of your ride exceeds the applicable credit or discount value we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the Ride. For quoted or variable fares, MakBoda may deduct the amount attributable to the Service Fee or Other Charges before the application of the coupon. Additional restrictions on coupons may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion or by clicking on the relevant coupon within the Promotions or Incentives section of the MakBoda App as applicable.
Credit Card Authorization. Upon the addition of a new payment method or each ride request, MakBoda may seek the authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the ride cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge, however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft charges by the bank issuing your debit or prepaid card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.
