Welcome to GozoCabs.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites, mobile applications, communication channels, customer-support systems and other technology platforms operated by Gozo Technologies Private Limited ("Gozo", "GozoCabs", "we", "us" or "our").
Gozo Technologies Private Limited has its office at F-210, UGF, Sushant Shopping Arcade, Sushant Lok Phase-I, Gurugram, Haryana – 122001, India.
Please read these Terms carefully.
If you make a booking on behalf of another person, you are responsible for informing that traveller of these Terms and relevant booking conditions. These Terms shall apply to the Customer as well as the Traveller, as applicable.
In these Terms, "including" means "including without limitation."
"Gozo" or "GozoCabs" means Gozo Technologies Private Limited.
"Gozo Platform" means Gozo's websites, mobile applications, telephone and call-centre systems, SMS, WhatsApp and other messaging channels, customer and vendor management systems, support-ticketing systems, APIs, automated systems and other technology or communication channels through which Gozo facilitates its Services.
"Customer", "Consumer" or "You" means any individual, company, organisation, agent or other person accessing or using the Gozo Platform or making a booking through Gozo.
"Traveller" means the person or persons who actually use the Transportation Service. The Customer and Traveller may or may not be the same person.
Where the Customer makes a booking for another Traveller, the Customer is responsible for communicating these Terms and all relevant booking information to such Traveller.
"Provider", "Provider Partner" or "Operator" means an independent third-party taxi operator, fleet operator, vehicle owner, transportation service provider or other person or entity using or interacting with the Gozo Platform to offer Transportation Services.

"Transportation Service" means the actual transportation service provided to the Customer or Traveller by a Provider.
"Services" means the technology, marketplace, booking, communication, customer-support, payment-facilitation and related services provided or facilitated through the Gozo Platform.
“Data Breach” means unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction of Personal Data.
Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular service:
The actual Transportation Service is provided by an independent third-party Provider.
Gozo does not ordinarily own or operate the vehicles used to provide Transportation Services and does not employ the Drivers providing such Transportation Services.
Providers independently determine how they operate their transportation businesses, subject to applicable law, their contractual obligations with Gozo and applicable Gozo Platform policies.
Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating an employer-employee, partnership, joint venture, agency or principal-agent relationship between Gozo and any Provider or Driver.
Gozo's involvement in facilitating bookings, payments, communications, customer support, quality monitoring, technology services or operational coordination does not by itself make Gozo the provider or operator of the Transportation Service.
The Provider is independently responsible for the Transportation Service provided to the Customer.
Providers are responsible for ensuring, as required by applicable law, that vehicles and Drivers used to fulfil bookings possess appropriate registrations, licences, permits, insurance, fitness certificates and other legally required documents or authorisations.
Providers are responsible for maintaining their vehicles in a roadworthy condition and for the conduct of their Drivers and other personnel.
Gozo may undertake reasonable verification, onboarding, quality-control and compliance measures in relation to Providers, Drivers and vehicles.
However, such measures do not constitute a guarantee or warranty by Gozo regarding the conduct, performance, safety, suitability or continued compliance of any Provider, Driver or vehicle.
Customers may request Transportation Services through the Gozo Platform.
All bookings are subject to availability of suitable Providers, Drivers and vehicles.
A booking shall generally become confirmed when Gozo issues a booking confirmation through the Platform, email, SMS, WhatsApp or another authorised communication channel.
Your booking confirmation may specify:
vehicle category;
You are responsible for reviewing your booking confirmation and promptly informing Gozo if any material information is incorrect.
Where booking-specific terms conflict with these general Terms, the more specific booking terms shall apply to that booking to the extent of such inconsistency.
Gozo may provide Driver and vehicle information after a Driver and vehicle have been allocated to your booking.
Customers should verify, in particular, the vehicle registration number and Driver identity.
Where operational circumstances reasonably require substitution of a Driver or vehicle, the Provider may arrange a replacement subject to applicable law and Gozo's policies.
Where reasonably practicable, updated Driver or vehicle information will be communicated to the Customer.
If the Driver or vehicle is materially different from the information provided by Gozo and no updated information has been communicated, the Customer should contact Gozo before commencing the journey.
A Customer who voluntarily chooses to travel in an unauthorised vehicle or with an unauthorised Driver contrary to information provided by Gozo may assume additional risks associated with that decision.
Gozo takes Customer and Driver safety seriously.
Pickup and drop addresses must be valid and reasonably accessible residential, commercial or public locations.
A Driver may refuse to enter or wait at a location that reasonably presents a safety, accessibility or legal concern and may request the Customer to use an alternative nearby pickup or drop point.
Gozo, the Provider or Driver may require reasonable proof of identity from a Customer or Traveller for safety, fraud-prevention, booking verification or regulatory purposes.
Customers must not use the Platform or interact with a Driver in any manner that distracts the Driver or encourages violation of traffic or safety laws.
For long-distance journeys, Providers may implement Driver rest periods, Driver changes or vehicle changes where reasonably required for safety or regulatory reasons.
Customers and Travellers must comply with applicable laws and behave appropriately towards Drivers, Providers, Gozo personnel and other persons.
Customers and Travellers shall not:
threaten, abuse, intimidate, harass or assault a Driver, Provider or Gozo representative;
Provider or Customer information obtained through the Gozo Platform.
A Driver or Provider may refuse to commence or may discontinue a Transportation Service where there is a reasonable safety, legal or behavioural concern.
Gozo may suspend or terminate access to the Platform in cases involving suspected fraud, misuse, abusive behaviour, safety concerns, non-payment or material violation of these Terms.
Prices displayed on the Gozo Platform may change until a booking is confirmed.
Despite reasonable efforts, pricing or availability errors may occasionally occur.
Where an obvious pricing or system error occurs, Gozo may contact the Customer for approval of the corrected price or cancel the booking without applying cancellation charges attributable solely to that error.
Bookings created with assistance from Gozo's customer-support personnel may include a support-facility or assisted-booking charge.
Where such a charge has been clearly included in the booking price, it represents costs associated with providing assisted-booking facilities and may be non-refundable once the service has been provided.
Depending upon the booking type, the quoted fare may include or exclude additional charges such as:
tolls;
The booking confirmation will specify the principal inclusions and exclusions applicable to your booking.
Where actual usage exceeds the booked distance, duration, itinerary or package limits, additional charges may become payable.
A change requested by the Customer to the destination, route, pickup point, travel date, travel time or itinerary may result in a change in fare.
Customers agree to pay all amounts legitimately due in connection with their booking.
Gozo may collect or facilitate collection of payments on behalf of Providers and may use third-party payment processors.
Customers authorise Gozo and applicable payment partners to process booking payments, refunds, adjustments and other legitimate booking-related transactions.
Amounts due may include:
booking fares;
arising from the booking.
Gozo may suspend further use of the Platform until undisputed outstanding amounts are paid.
Gozo may offer promotional discounts, coupons, credits or Gozo Coins from time to time. Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotional offers cannot be combined.
Gozo Coins and promotional credits:
are intended for use on eligible future Gozo bookings;
to applicable promotional terms.
Gozo may cancel promotional credits obtained through fraud, misuse, system error or violation of promotional conditions.
Gozo aims to provide Customers flexibility in managing their travel plans.
A booking may generally be cancelled before the scheduled pickup time through the Gozo Platform or authorised customer-support channels.
Your booking confirmation will ordinarily specify a date and time until which your booking may be cancelled without cancellation charges.
This is your "Free Cancellation Period."
If you cancel before expiry of the Free Cancellation Period, no cancellation charge shall ordinarily apply unless your booking-specific terms expressly provide otherwise.
After expiry of the Free Cancellation Period, cancellation charges may apply.
The applicable cancellation charges and relevant time windows will be communicated as part of your booking terms.
Gozo attempts to provide Driver and vehicle details as soon as they become available.
For bookings where this condition is expressly communicated, accessing Driver or vehicle information may end your Free Cancellation Period.
Before you access such information, Gozo will endeavour to provide reasonable notice that accessing the information will end your Free Cancellation Period.
If you proceed after receiving such notice and subsequently cancel the booking, applicable cancellation charges may become payable.
Cancellation charges compensate Gozo and/or the Provider for costs incurred, vehicle allocation, Driver allocation and lost opportunities resulting from holding transportation capacity for your booking.
Where your booking was created using chargeable assisted-booking or customer-support facilities, applicable support-facility charges may remain non-refundable following cancellation because those services have already been provided.
A Customer is considered a "No-Show" where the Customer or Traveller is not present at the agreed pickup location and the assigned Driver is unable to establish reasonable contact with the Customer at the scheduled pickup time.
Unless the booking terms specify otherwise, the Driver may wait for approximately 30 minutes from the scheduled pickup time.
After the applicable waiting period, the booking may be treated as cancelled due to Customer No-Show.
The Customer may be liable for up to the entire Booking Amount as a cancellation/no-show charge where permitted by the applicable booking terms and law.
Customers should inform Gozo as early as reasonably possible of any requested change to the scheduled departure time.
Gozo recommends providing at least 24 hours' notice where practicable.
A request for rescheduling does not guarantee that the same vehicle, Driver, Provider or price will remain available.
Rescheduled bookings may be subject to availability and revised pricing.
Gozo aims to achieve the highest possible booking fulfilment rate.
However, circumstances may occasionally prevent a Provider from fulfilling a confirmed booking.
Where Gozo or the Provider is unable to fulfil a confirmed booking, Gozo may attempt to arrange an alternative Provider or vehicle.
Where no reasonably suitable alternative is available and the booking cannot be fulfilled, amounts collected in advance for the unprovided Transportation Service will be refunded, subject to applicable law.
Gozo may additionally provide promotional credits or Gozo Coins as a goodwill gesture. Such goodwill credits are not cash compensation and are subject to applicable promotional terms.
Where a Customer is entitled to a refund following cancellation or non-fulfilment, the refundable amount shall generally equal the amount paid in advance less applicable cancellation charges, non-refundable support-facility charges and other amounts legitimately due.
After Gozo initiates the refund, additional time may be required for the amount to appear in the Customer's bank, card, wallet or payment account depending upon the relevant bank, card network, payment gateway or payment provider.
Refunds cannot ordinarily exceed the amount actually paid by the Customer for the relevant booking.
Where applicable, Customers should provide their Booking ID and payment information reasonably required to identify and process the refund.
All journey durations, pickup times, distances, routes and estimated arrival times displayed or communicated through Gozo are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
Actual travel may be affected by:
Customers travelling for flights, trains, meetings, appointments or other time-sensitive events are responsible for allowing adequate additional travel time.
To the maximum extent, Gozo shall not be liable for consequential losses resulting from delays, including missed flights, trains, appointments, meetings, connections or events.
Vehicles may occasionally experience mechanical or operational problems despite reasonable maintenance.
Where a vehicle becomes unable to continue a journey, the Provider and/or Gozo may make reasonable efforts to arrange repairs, a replacement vehicle or another practical solution.
The availability and timing of a replacement cannot be guaranteed, particularly in remote locations or during circumstances outside reasonable control.
Customers and Travellers are responsible for their personal belongings during Transportation Services.
Gozo does not take custody of passenger belongings and does not guarantee recovery of property left in a vehicle.
Where reasonably possible, Gozo may assist the Customer in communicating with the relevant Provider or Driver regarding lost property.
Gozo shall not be responsible for loss, theft, damage, destruction or non-recovery of personal belongings except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
Customers may be responsible for reasonable cleaning, repair or restoration costs resulting from intentional or negligent damage or excessive soiling of a vehicle caused by the Customer, Traveller or persons travelling as part of the Customer's booking.
Gozo may facilitate recovery of such charges on behalf of the Provider after considering reasonable supporting information.
By using the Gozo Platform, you consent to receiving booking-related and administrative communications electronically through channels including:
Electronic communications may constitute written communications.
Transactional communications necessary to administer or fulfil a booking may be sent irrespective of marketing preferences.
Marketing communications will be subject to applicable law and available opt-out mechanisms.
Gozo may use automated systems, artificial intelligence, chatbots and similar technologies for purposes including:
Automated or AI-generated responses are intended to assist Customers but may occasionally contain incomplete, inaccurate or outdated information.
Customers should contact Gozo customer support where an automated response appears materially inconsistent with their confirmed booking.
You may require a Gozo Account to access certain Services.
Accounts may include individual, agent, reseller or corporate accounts.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activities occurring through your account.
You should promptly notify Gozo if you reasonably suspect unauthorised access to your account. Gozo may suspend, restrict or terminate an account where reasonably necessary because of:
A person must ordinarily be at least 18 years old to independently create and operate a Gozo Account.
A person under 18 should not independently book or receive Transportation Services unless accompanied or appropriately authorised and supervised by a responsible adult, subject to applicable law and Provider policies.
This includes, without limitation, loss arising from:
Where Gozo is legally liable in connection with a particular booking, Gozo's aggregate liability shall, to the maximum extent, be limited to the lower of:
(b) ₹10,000.
Where Gozo is legally liable in connection with a single event, incident, systemic service failure, or Data Breach (as defined in Clause 26A) affecting multiple bookings or Customers simultaneously, Gozo's total aggregate liability to all affected Customers collectively arising from that event shall not exceed ₹1,00,000 in any 12-month period. Where claims arising from such an event exceed this aggregate limit, individual Customer claims shall be reduced pro rata.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Gozo processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
Information reasonably necessary to fulfil and support a booking may be shared with Providers, Drivers, payment processors, customer-support providers, technology providers and other service providers involved in delivering the Services.
Gozo may obtain and process information including booking information, transaction information, communications, device information and location-related information for purposes including:

The Gozo Platform and its software, trademarks, logos, designs, text, graphics and proprietary materials belong to Gozo or their respective licensors.
Use of the Services does not grant Customers ownership of Gozo intellectual property.
Customers may not copy, reproduce, reverse engineer, commercially exploit, remove legal notices from or otherwise misuse Gozo's intellectual property except as expressly authorised or permitted by applicable law.
Customers acknowledge that Transportation Services booked through the Platform are ordinarily provided by independent third-party Providers.
Accordingly, to the maximum extent, Gozo shall not be responsible for acts or omissions attributable solely to a Provider or Driver, including matters relating to:
in performance of the Transportation Service by the Provider.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability of Gozo that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
Gozo provides its Platform and Services using commercially reasonable efforts. However, the Platform and Services are provided on an "as available" basis.
Gozo does not guarantee:
To the maximum extent, warranties not expressly provided in these Terms are excluded.
Nothing in these Terms limits statutory rights available to Customers that cannot lawfully be waived.
To the extent, the Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Gozo, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives against third-party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs and reasonable expenses arising directly from:
the Customer's material breach of these Terms;
use of the Platform;
caused by the Customer or Traveller to a Provider, Driver, vehicle or third party;
violation of applicable law or third-party rights by the Customer or Traveller; or
This indemnity shall not apply to the extent that the relevant claim results from Gozo's own breach of applicable law or contractual obligations.
Gozo shall not be responsible for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Such circumstances may include:
fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other natural disaster;
of terrorism;
or labour disruption;
During such circumstances, Services may be suspended, delayed, modified or subject to revised pricing where reasonably necessary.
Gozo will endeavour, where reasonably practicable, to communicate material disruptions affecting confirmed bookings.
Customers should report complaints concerning Transportation Services as soon as reasonably practicable and preferably within 7 days after completion of the relevant trip.
Prompt reporting helps Gozo obtain relevant information from the Provider and investigate the complaint effectively.
Complaints submitted substantially later may be more difficult to investigate because relevant records or evidence may no longer be readily available.
Nothing in this provision restricts statutory rights or legally prescribed complaint periods available to Customers.
Customers may contact Gozo through the customer-support and grievance channels published on the Gozo Platform.
Gozo may suspend, restrict or terminate access to all or part of the Platform where reasonably necessary because of:

Gozo may add, modify, replace, suspend or discontinue features or Services where reasonably necessary.
Where reasonably practicable and appropriate, Gozo will provide notice of material changes affecting existing Customers or confirmed bookings.

The latest version will be published on the Gozo Platform with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Changes will apply prospectively unless immediate application is reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, security or operational reasons.
Where required by applicable law, material changes will be separately notified or consent obtained.
Continued use of the Platform after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of India.
The Customer and Gozo should first attempt in good faith to resolve disputes through Gozo's customer grievance mechanism.
Any dispute may, at the Customer's option, be referred to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, as amended. Nothing in this clause requires a Customer to submit to arbitration, and a Customer retains the unqualified right to instead approach a consumer forum or commission of competent jurisdiction under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Where a Customer elects arbitration, it shall be conducted by a sole independent arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. Where the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, appointment shall be made in accordance with applicable law. The language of arbitration shall be English. The seat and venue of arbitration shall be Gurugram, Haryana, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
Subject to the Customer's right under Section 34(2) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 to file a complaint before the consumer commission having jurisdiction over the Customer's place of residence or work, courts at Gurugram, Haryana shall have jurisdiction in relation to matters arising from these Terms that are not resolved through arbitration or before a consumer forum.
Nothing in this clause prevents a Customer from exercising any right or remedy available under applicable consumer-protection law.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed or interpreted to the minimum extent necessary while the remaining provisions shall continue in effect.
Failure by Gozo to enforce any provision of these Terms on any occasion does not constitute a waiver of Gozo's right to enforce that provision subsequently.
These Terms, together with:
Gozo's Privacy Policy;
Gozo Services.
Where a booking-specific or service-specific term directly conflicts with these general Terms, the more specific term shall prevail for that booking or service.
