Business Model

1. Our Platform constitutes a technology platform that links independent third-party providers of transportation ("Drivers") and their clients ("Passengers") with each other to arrange and schedule transportation services.

2. When Passengers request a ride, they are connected to the nearby Driver. The Driver has sole and complete discretion to accept or reject each request.

3. OIOT does not provide transportation services or function as a transportation carrier. All transportation services are provided by independent third-party contractors who are not employed by OIOT.

4. The Passenger must pay the Driver the price set forth on the Platform. This agreed price includes all charges associated with the ride (fees, tolls, levies, taxes, etc.). OIOT does not interfere with the settlement between the Driver and the Passenger.

5. The Platform enables Users to book rides with various vehicle types, including taxis, private cars, shared rides, and other transport options as available in their location.

6. Drivers registered on the Platform operate independently and may set their availability, routes, and service areas at their discretion. OIOT does not mandate work hours, operational zones, or pricing beyond what is displayed on the Platform.

7. The Platform may provide estimated fare calculations based on distance, time, and surge pricing; however, the final fare is subject to the Driver’s discretion, platform rules, and applicable local laws.

8. OIOT acts as an intermediary between Passengers and Drivers but does not assume responsibility for the safety, condition, or availability of vehicles.

9. OIOT reserves the right to suspend or terminate Driver accounts that violate platform policies, including but not limited to misconduct, fraud, or non-compliance with legal and safety standards.

10. Any promotions, discounts, or loyalty rewards offered through the Platform are subject to change at OIOT’s discretion and may have specific terms and conditions governing their use.

Your Safety

1. The health and safety of OIOT Users is our priority. We take reasonable steps to keep the Platform a safe and secure environment for our Users. For example, we review and obtain documents of all Drivers before allowing them to provide their Services. Additionally, we may conduct spot checks to verify that the Driver’s account is used by the Driver who registered it, and that the Driver uses the vehicle associated with this Driver’s account. We may ask Passengers to pass a liveness check or verify their identity by providing a government-issued ID number.

2. Despite our best efforts, we acknowledge the limits of an online platform’s ability to facilitate offline safety. We have no control over the quality or safety of the transportation that occurs as a result of the Services. You acknowledge and accept the same.

3. We cannot guarantee that each Passenger or Driver is who he or she claims to be. Please review the photos of the Driver or Passenger You see on the Platform to make sure it is the same individual You see in person. But if You notice that the Driver who arrived to You is different from the Driver in the OIOT app, please refrain from using the Service from such Driver and report to OIOT and we will investigate and apply liability measures to such Driver.

4. We urge You to exercise caution and care when interacting with other Users. You avail Services at Your own risk.

5. In case of any suspected threat to health or safety, immediately report it to user support (support@OIOT.app) or use the 'SOS button'.

6. Safety has two options:

7. 1) Option 1 gives You an opportunity to call the police. If You click the 'SOS' button, a standard dial bar with an auto-fitted police number will open.

8. 2) Option 2 gives You an opportunity to share Your ride information with a number from Your contacts. If You click on the 'Share ride' button, the selection panel of the recipient of the ride information opens and then the information about Your ride is sent to the number specified by You.

9. We try to do our best to keep our app safe and convenient for You. Therefore, we are constantly improving and modifying user verification systems and the functionality of our application.
