Welcome to JoinMeWaka — the smart, safe, and sustainable way to share your journey and save together.
By accessing or using the JoinMeWaka mobile app, website, or related services (“Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully before using our platform.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using JoinMeWaka, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other policies referenced herein.
If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must:

  • Be at least 18 years old to use JoinMeWaka.

  • Provide accurate and complete information during registration.

  • Maintain a valid form of identification and, if driving, a valid driver’s license, vehicle registration, and insurance.

JoinMeWaka may verify your documents or suspend your account if information is found to be false or incomplete.

3. User Verification

JoinMeWaka requires all users (drivers and passengers) to undergo a verification process which may include:

  • Mobile number verification

  • Government ID upload

  • Driver’s license and vehicle document checks

  • Ratings and community reviews

Verification does not guarantee the conduct of users. JoinMeWaka is not responsible for actions taken by any user before, during, or after a ride.

4. Use of the Service

JoinMeWaka is a ridesharing platform, not a transportation provider.

  • Drivers and passengers connect independently to share rides and split costs.

  • JoinMeWaka does not own vehicles or employ drivers.

  • All arrangements are made between users at their own discretion.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable regulations.

5. Ride Posting & Matching

Drivers may post available rides by specifying route, time, available seats, and per-seat cost.
Passengers may request rides that match their preferences.
JoinMeWaka uses smart matching technology to connect compatible users based on:

  • Routes and timing

  • Preferences such as music, conversation style, and comfort options

JoinMeWaka does not guarantee ride availability or compatibility.

6. Payments
  • Ride payments are based on per-seat pricing set by the driver within platform limits.

  • Payments may be made via wallet, card, or cash.

  • JoinMeWaka may charge a service fee on completed rides.

  • Refunds for cancelled rides are subject to the Cancellation Policy in the app.

JoinMeWaka is not responsible for any direct payments made outside the platform.

7. Cancellations and Refunds

Both drivers and passengers may cancel rides according to the app’s cancellation timelines.
Frequent or late cancellations may result in account suspension.
Refunds (if applicable) are processed according to JoinMeWaka’s internal policy and payment provider rules.

8. Safety and Conduct

Your safety is our priority.
Users must:

  • Treat co-travelers with respect and courtesy.

  • Avoid illegal substances, harassment, or discrimination of any kind.

  • Comply with all traffic and road safety laws.

JoinMeWaka provides tools such as:

  • SOS Emergency Button for urgent help

  • Real-time GPS tracking

  • Trip sharing with friends and family

However, JoinMeWaka cannot guarantee the personal safety or behavior of users.

9. Ratings and Reviews

After each trip, users can rate and review one another.
Ratings help maintain trust within the community.
JoinMeWaka reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts based on repeated poor ratings or reports of misconduct.

10. Environmental Tracking

JoinMeWaka provides CO₂ reduction estimates to promote eco-friendly commuting.
These numbers are approximate and intended for awareness purposes only.

JoinMeWaka collects and processes personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.
By using the app, you consent to such data processing, including:

  • Identity verification

  • Location tracking during rides

  • Payment processing and fraud prevention

We never sell user data to third parties.

12. Limitation of Liability

JoinMeWaka acts solely as a platform connecting users.
We are not liable for:

  • Accidents, injuries, delays, or losses occurring during rides

  • Misconduct or negligence by users

  • Disputes between users

Your use of the Service is at your own risk.
