Last updated: August 22, 2026
CHAPTER 1 – PURPOSE, SCOPE & APPLICABILITY
1.1 Purpose
This Cancellation & Refund Policy ("Policy") establishes the legal and operational framework governing Booking cancellations, Cancellation Charges, refunds, Subscription Fee refunds, dispute handling, operational reviews, and related matters arising from the use of the Splitt-E Platform.
This Policy seeks to promote fairness, transparency, operational consistency, and balanced treatment of Users and Driver Partners while preserving Splitt-E's ability to administer and improve its Platform in accordance with Applicable Law and evolving business requirements.
1.2 Scope
This Policy applies to:
- mobility Bookings;
- parcel delivery Bookings;
- Booking cancellations;
- Cancellation Charges;
- Outstanding Cancellation Charges;
- Subscription Fees paid to Splitt-E;
- refund requests;
- promotional credits;
- billing adjustments;
operational reviews relating to cancellations and refunds; and
other matters expressly governed by this Policy.
1.3 Applicability
This Policy forms an integral part of the contractual relationship between Splitt-E, its Users, and Driver Partners.
By using the Platform, Users and Driver Partners acknowledge that this Policy applies in addition to the User Terms & Conditions, Driver Partner Agreement, Privacy Policy, Subscription Policy, and other applicable Platform Policies.
1.4 Relationship with Other Documents
This Policy shall be read together with all applicable Splitt-E legal documents.
Where a matter is not specifically addressed in this Policy, the relevant provisions of the User Terms & Conditions, Driver Partner Agreement, Privacy Policy, Subscription Policy, Community Guidelines, or any other applicable Platform Policy shall continue to apply.
Where Applicable Law requires a different approach, Applicable Law shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
CHAPTER 2 – DEFINITIONS & INTERPRETATION
2.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this Policy:
Booking means a mobility or parcel delivery request accepted through the Platform.
Cancellation means termination of a Booking before its completion.
Cancellation Charge means an amount that may become payable following a Cancellation in accordance with this Policy.
Driver Movement means the distance, time, or other measurable movement of a Driver Partner towards the designated pickup location after accepting a Booking, as reasonably determined through Platform Records.
Outstanding Cancellation Charge means any unpaid Cancellation Charge recorded against a User Account.
Platform Records means Booking history, GPS information, timestamps, in-app communications, in-app call records (where available), technical logs, operational metadata, and other records maintained by Splitt-E relating to Platform operations.
Refund means any reimbursement, reversal, adjustment, account credit, or other financial resolution approved by Splitt-E under this Policy.
Subscription Fee means the amount payable by a Driver Partner to Splitt-E for subscription-based access to Platform services.
2.2 Definitions in Other Agreements
Where a capitalised term is not specifically defined in this Policy but is defined in the User Terms & Conditions, Driver Partner Agreement, or another applicable Platform Policy, that definition shall apply unless the context requires otherwise.
2.3 Interpretation
Unless the context otherwise requires:
- headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation;
- words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa;
- references to one gender include all genders;
- references to a person include natural persons, legal entities, and other recognised organisations;
the words "including", "such as", and similar expressions shall be interpreted as illustrative and not exhaustive.
CHAPTER 3 – GOVERNING PRINCIPLES
3.1 Fairness
Splitt-E strives to administer cancellations, refunds, and related disputes fairly, reasonably, and in good faith.
Neither a User nor a Driver Partner shall automatically be presumed to be at fault merely because a complaint, cancellation request, or dispute has been submitted.
3.2 Operational Flexibility
This Policy establishes the governing legal principles applicable to cancellations and refunds.
Operational procedures, technical workflows, user interfaces, settlement mechanisms, calculation methodologies, and Platform features may be modified by Splitt-E from time to time without requiring amendment of this Policy, provided such modifications remain consistent with Applicable Law and the governing Platform Agreements.
3.3 Separation of Legal Framework and Operations
Nothing in this Policy requires Splitt-E to maintain any particular technical implementation, payment workflow, recovery mechanism, notification process, or operational methodology.
Splitt-E reserves the right to improve or modify its operational processes in response to technological developments, business requirements, regulatory changes, fraud prevention needs, safety considerations, or user experience improvements.
3.4 Current Operating Model
Under the Platform's current operating model, payments relating to mobility and parcel delivery services are generally made directly between the User and the Driver Partner.
Subscription Fees payable by Driver Partners are generally payable directly to Splitt-E.
Nothing in this Policy shall be interpreted as a representation that the current operating model will remain unchanged indefinitely. Splitt-E reserves the right to introduce alternative payment, settlement, or operational mechanisms where reasonably required by Applicable Law, business requirements, technological developments, or future Platform services.
3.5 No Automatic Entitlement
The existence of a Cancellation, complaint, dispute, refund request, or operational issue does not, by itself, create an entitlement to compensation, reimbursement, refund, account credit, Cancellation Charge waiver, or any other financial relief.
Any such relief shall be determined by Splitt-E in accordance with this Policy or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
3.6 No Waiver
Any failure or delay by Splitt-E in exercising any right, discretion, or remedy under this Policy shall not constitute a waiver of that right, discretion, or remedy.
3.7 Preservation of Legal Rights
Nothing contained in this Policy shall limit or exclude any rights, remedies, protections, or obligations available to Splitt-E, Users, or Driver Partners under Applicable Law.
CHAPTER 4 – GENERAL CANCELLATION PRINCIPLES
4.1 Right to Cancel
Subject to this Policy, the applicable Platform Agreements, and Applicable Law, a User or Driver Partner may cancel a Booking before its completion.
The exercise of a cancellation right does not automatically exempt either party from the consequences described in this Policy.
4.2 General Principles
Cancellation of a Booking does not automatically:
- result in a Cancellation Charge;
- entitle any person to a refund;
- establish fault or liability;
constitute a breach of the applicable Platform Agreement; or
create an entitlement to compensation.
Each matter may be assessed independently based upon the available information and the circumstances of the Booking.
4.3 Recognition of Driver Partner Effort
Where a Driver Partner has accepted a Booking and commenced travelling towards the designated pickup location, Splitt-E recognises that the Driver Partner may have incurred operational costs, including time, fuel, vehicle usage, and loss of potential earning opportunities.
Accordingly, a Cancellation Charge may become applicable where Splitt-E reasonably considers it appropriate.
4.4 Operational Methodology
Splitt-E may determine the methodology used to assess whether a Cancellation Charge applies and the amount of such Cancellation Charge.
Such methodology may consider one or more factors including:
- Driver Movement;
- distance travelled;
- time elapsed;
- estimated operational costs;
- Booking characteristics;
- Platform Records;
- fraud prevention measures;
- safety considerations;
historical operational information; and
any other operational criteria reasonably determined by Splitt-E.
The methodology may be revised, improved, or replaced from time to time without requiring amendment of this Policy.
4.5 Platform Errors
Where Splitt-E reasonably determines that a Cancellation Charge, notification, calculation, or operational action has resulted from a technical malfunction, software error, system failure, data inconsistency, or other operational error, Splitt-E may correct, reverse, adjust, or otherwise rectify the affected matter.
CHAPTER 5 – USER CANCELLATION
5.1 General Principle
A User may cancel a Booking through the Platform in accordance with applicable Platform procedures.
Cancellation does not automatically prevent the application of a Cancellation Charge.
5.2 Cancellation Before Driver Movement
Where a User cancels a Booking before Driver Movement has commenced, a Cancellation Charge will ordinarily not apply unless exceptional circumstances reasonably justify otherwise.
5.3 Cancellation After Driver Movement
Where Driver Movement has commenced before the User cancels the Booking, Splitt-E may determine that a Cancellation Charge is applicable.
In making such determination, Splitt-E may consider:
- Driver Movement;
- time invested by the Driver Partner;
- operational costs reasonably incurred;
- Platform Records;
- Booking circumstances;
- safety considerations;
fraud indicators; and
other relevant operational factors.
5.4 Notification of Cancellation Charge
Where a Cancellation Charge is determined to be applicable, the Platform may notify the User of:
- the applicable amount;
- the basis upon which the charge has been determined;
available settlement options; and
the potential consequences of non-settlement.
The format, timing, and method of such notification may vary depending upon Platform functionality.
5.5 Settlement Opportunity
Where operationally available, the User may be provided with an opportunity to settle the applicable Cancellation Charge.
Settlement may occur through:
- direct payment to the Driver Partner under the current operating model;
- a Platform-supported payment mechanism, where introduced;
- account adjustment;
any other settlement mechanism adopted by Splitt-E.
Settlement of a Cancellation Charge shall not, by itself, constitute an admission of liability by the User.
5.6 Failure to Settle
Where an applicable Cancellation Charge is not settled, Splitt-E may:
- record the amount as an Outstanding Cancellation Charge;
- notify the User;
- require settlement before permitting certain future Platform activities;
recover the amount through another operational mechanism introduced by Splitt-E; or
adopt any other reasonable operational response.
Nothing in this Clause obligates Splitt-E to pursue recovery in every case.
5.7 Waiver or Adjustment
Splitt-E may waive, reduce, reverse, or otherwise adjust a Cancellation Charge where it reasonably determines that exceptional circumstances exist.
Such determination shall remain entirely within the reasonable discretion of Splitt-E, subject to Applicable Law.
CHAPTER 6 – DRIVER PARTNER CANCELLATION
6.1 General Responsibility
Driver Partners are expected to honour accepted Bookings and should cancel only where reasonably necessary.
6.2 Legitimate Grounds
Without limitation, a Driver Partner may reasonably cancel a Booking where circumstances include:
- vehicle breakdown;
- accident;
- medical emergency;
- personal safety concerns;
- unlawful conduct;
- materially incorrect Booking information;
- inability to lawfully perform the Booking;
force majeure events; or
other circumstances beyond the Driver Partner's reasonable control.
6.3 Unjustified Cancellations
Repeated or unjustified cancellations may affect Platform reliability.
Following review, Splitt-E may take reasonable operational action including:
- educational guidance;
- warnings;
- temporary operational restrictions;
- performance review;
- temporary suspension;
permanent termination in serious cases; or
other action permitted under the Driver Partner Agreement.
6.4 Safety
Nothing in this Policy discourages a Driver Partner from cancelling a Booking where the Driver Partner reasonably believes cancellation is necessary to protect personal safety, public safety, or to comply with Applicable Law.
CHAPTER 7 – CANCELLATION CHARGES & SETTLEMENT
7.1 Purpose
Cancellation Charges are intended to reasonably recognise operational costs that may arise following certain Booking cancellations.
Cancellation Charges are not intended to operate as penalties.
7.2 Settlement
Where operationally implemented, Cancellation Charges may be settled directly between the User and the Driver Partner under the Platform's current operating model.
Splitt-E may introduce alternative settlement mechanisms where reasonably required by Applicable Law, operational requirements, technological developments, or future Platform services.
7.3 Partial Settlement
Where Splitt-E reasonably determines that only part of an applicable Cancellation Charge has been settled, Splitt-E may:
- record the remaining unpaid balance;
- adjust the Outstanding Cancellation Charge;
seek settlement of the remaining amount through applicable operational mechanisms; or
otherwise resolve the matter as reasonably considered appropriate.
7.4 Driver Confirmation
Where a User indicates that a Cancellation Charge has been settled directly with the Driver Partner, Splitt-E may seek confirmation from the Driver Partner and may also review other available Platform Records.
Driver confirmation constitutes one factor that Splitt-E may consider and shall not necessarily be treated as conclusive evidence.
Splitt-E may determine the status of an Outstanding Cancellation Charge after considering all reasonably available information.
7.5 Outstanding Cancellation Charges
Outstanding Cancellation Charges shall not ordinarily accrue interest unless:
Applicable Law requires otherwise; or
Splitt-E expressly notifies Users of a different operational arrangement introduced in accordance with Applicable Law.
7.6 No Guarantee of Recovery
Splitt-E does not guarantee recovery of every applicable Cancellation Charge.
Splitt-E may waive, defer, compromise, write off, recover, or otherwise resolve any Outstanding Cancellation Charge where it reasonably considers such action appropriate.
CHAPTER 8 – GENERAL REFUND PRINCIPLES
8.1 General Principle
Refunds are not automatic.
Any request for a refund, reversal, adjustment, account credit, or other financial resolution shall be considered in accordance with this Policy, the applicable Platform Agreements, and Applicable Law.
8.2 Independent Assessment
Each refund request may be assessed independently.
The approval or rejection of one refund request shall not create a precedent or entitlement for any future request.
8.3 Good Faith
Users and Driver Partners are expected to submit refund requests honestly, accurately, and in good faith.
Knowingly submitting false, misleading, fabricated, or fraudulent refund requests may result in action under the applicable Platform Agreements or Applicable Law.
8.4 Operational Review
Before approving or declining a refund request, Splitt-E may:
- review Platform Records;
- verify transaction details;
- request additional information;
- request supporting documents;
- conduct operational reviews;
- review technical records;
consider previous account activity; and
undertake any other reasonable verification process.
Nothing in this Policy obligates Splitt-E to undertake identical verification procedures for every refund request.
CHAPTER 9 – SUBSCRIPTION REFUNDS
9.1 Scope
This Chapter applies exclusively to Subscription Fees paid by Driver Partners to Splitt-E.
It does not apply to payments exchanged directly between Users and Driver Partners unless expressly stated otherwise.
9.2 General Rule
Subscription Fees are generally payable for access to Platform services and associated benefits.
Unless otherwise provided under this Policy, another applicable agreement, or Applicable Law, Subscription Fees are ordinarily non-refundable after activation of the applicable Subscription.
9.3 Duplicate Subscription Payments
Where Splitt-E reasonably determines that the same Subscription Fee has been paid more than once due to a technical error, duplicate transaction, banking issue, or other verifiable circumstance, Splitt-E may:
- refund the duplicate amount;
- issue an account credit;
adjust future Subscription Fees; or
adopt another reasonable financial resolution.
9.4 Incorrect Billing
Where Splitt-E determines that a Driver Partner has been incorrectly charged due to a Platform malfunction, technical error, operational mistake, or billing issue, Splitt-E may:
- reverse the incorrect transaction;
- issue a refund;
- issue an account credit;
adjust future billing; or
adopt another reasonable corrective action.
9.5 Suspension of Review
Splitt-E may suspend or delay consideration of a Subscription refund request where it reasonably suspects:
- fraud;
- identity misrepresentation;
- payment irregularities;
- chargeback abuse;
unlawful conduct; or
other suspicious activity.
9.6 Promotional Subscription Plans
Subscription plans offered under promotional campaigns, trial programmes, discounted offers, or special commercial arrangements may be subject to separate refund conditions published at the time of the offer.
CHAPTER 10 – CURRENT PAYMENT MODEL
10.1 Current Operating Model
Under the current operating model of the Platform, payments relating to mobility and parcel delivery services are generally made directly between the User and the Driver Partner.
Accordingly, Splitt-E generally does not receive, hold, process, distribute, or settle such payments.
10.2 Subscription Payments
Subscription Fees payable by Driver Partners are generally payable directly to Splitt-E using the payment methods supported by the Platform.
10.3 No Agency Relationship
Under the current operating model, nothing in this Policy shall be interpreted as creating an agency, escrow, trustee, banking, money transmission, payment intermediary, fiduciary, or similar relationship between Splitt-E and the parties in respect of payments exchanged directly between Users and Driver Partners.
10.4 Current Commercial Model
Under the Platform's current operating model, Splitt-E generally does not deduct a Platform commission from amounts agreed between a User and a Driver Partner for mobility or parcel delivery services.
This Clause describes the current operating model only.
Nothing in this Policy shall prevent Splitt-E from introducing alternative commercial arrangements where reasonably required by:
- Applicable Law;
- regulatory requirements;
- technological developments;
- business requirements;
operational improvements; or
future Platform services.
10.5 Taxes
Nothing contained in this Policy affects:

other deductions required under Applicable Law.

- the request arises solely from a change of mind;
- the applicable Subscription has already been substantially utilised;
- fraud or misuse is reasonably suspected;
- the request is inconsistent with this Policy;
the request is submitted after the applicable dispute period without reasonable justification; or
the circumstances otherwise fall outside the scope of this Policy.

- reversal to the original payment method;

issue a refund; or
otherwise correct the billing event.

CHAPTER 13 – PROMOTIONAL CREDITS
13.1 Promotional Programmes
Splitt-E may introduce promotional campaigns, incentive programmes, referral benefits, coupons, discounts, credits, rewards, or similar commercial programmes.
Such programmes may be governed by separate terms published by Splitt-E.

CHAPTER 14 – FAIR REVIEW & OPERATIONAL RESOLUTION
14.1 Guiding Principle
Splitt-E is committed to administering cancellation-related and refund-related matters fairly, reasonably, objectively, and in good faith.
The existence of a complaint, dispute, cancellation request, refund request, or allegation shall not, by itself, establish fault, liability, entitlement, or wrongdoing.
Each matter may be independently assessed based upon the available information, Applicable Law, the governing Platform Agreements, and the surrounding circumstances.
14.2 Platform Review
Where Splitt-E reasonably considers it appropriate, it may review available Platform Records before determining an appropriate operational response.

or any other relevant person.
Such information may include:
- written explanations;
- invoices;
- receipts;

transaction confirmations; or
any other supporting material reasonably relevant to the matter.
Failure to provide requested information shall not automatically determine the outcome of a review but may be considered together with all other available information.

- the seriousness of the matter;
- the value involved;
- the availability and reliability of Platform Records;

operational practicality; and
any other circumstances reasonably considered relevant.

15.2 Time Limit for Raising Disputes
Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or another applicable Platform Policy, cancellation-related disputes, refund-related disputes, billing disputes, or other matters governed by this Policy should ordinarily be reported within forty-eight (48) hours from:

- fraud indicators;
- Applicable Law; and
any other relevant circumstances.
Nothing in this Chapter obligates Splitt-E to review every delayed dispute.

17.3 No Waiver
No failure, omission, delay, relaxation, or partial exercise by Splitt-E of any right, discretion, remedy, or power under this Policy shall constitute a waiver of that right, discretion, remedy, or power.
Any waiver shall be effective only if expressly made in writing by an authorised representative of Splitt-E.
17.4 Severability
If any provision of this Policy is determined by a court or competent authority to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.
17.5 Entire Policy
This Policy constitutes the entire cancellation and refund policy of Splitt-E and shall be read together with the User Terms & Conditions, Driver Partner Agreement, Privacy Policy, Subscription Policy, Community Guidelines, and other applicable Platform Policies.
Nothing contained in this Policy shall be interpreted independently where another applicable Platform Agreement expressly governs the same subject matter.
17.6 No Limitation of Legal Rights
