Access to Network and Devices
You are responsible for obtaining the necessary data access to use the Services. Data and messaging charges may apply from your mobile network operator if you access or use the Services from a wireless device, and you are responsible for these charges. You are responsible for obtaining and updating the appropriate equipment or devices necessary to access and use the Services and applications, including any updates to them. INTLAQ does not guarantee that the Services, or any part thereof, will work on any specific equipment or device. Additionally, the Services may be subject to outages and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.
Payment
You understand that using the Services may result in charges for the services you receive from a third-party service provider ("Fees").
After you receive services obtained through your use of the service, INTLAQ will facilitate your payment of the applicable Fees on behalf of the third-party service provider as a limited payment collection agent for the third-party service provider.
Payment of the Fees in this manner is as effective as if you made the payment directly to the third-party service provider. The Fees will include applicable taxes as required by law.
All Fees you pay are final and non-refundable unless otherwise specified by INTLAQ. You retain the right to request a reduction of the Fees from the third-party service provider for the services and goods you received from them at the time of receiving such services and goods. Consequently, INTLAQ will respond to any request from any third-party service provider to modify the Fees for a specific service or good.
All Fees are due immediately and will be facilitated by INTLAQ using your preferred payment method specified in your account, after which INTLAQ will send you a receipt via email. If the primary payment method you designated in your account is expired, invalid, or cannot be charged, you agree that INTLAQ, as a limited payment collection agent for the third-party service provider, may use your secondary payment method in your account, if available.
- As agreed between you and INTLAQ, INTLAQ reserves the right to create and/or cancel and/or revise the Fees for any of the services or goods obtained or all of them through the use of the services at any time at INTLAQ's sole discretion.
- Furthermore, you acknowledge and accept that the applicable Fees may significantly increase in certain geographic areas during periods of high demand. INTLAQ will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the Fees that may apply to you, provided that you are responsible for the charges incurred on your account regardless of your awareness of them or the specific amounts related to that account.
- From time to time, INTLAQ may provide some users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in varying amounts charged for the same services or goods or for similar services and goods during the use of the services, and you agree that these promotional offers and discounts—unless also made available to you—have no bearing on your use of the services or the Fees charged to you. You may choose to cancel your order for services or goods provided by a third-party service provider at any time before the third-party service provider arrives, as you may be required to pay a cancellation fee if they have already arrived.
- This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the third-party service provider for the services and goods provided.
- Except for ride hailing services requested through the application, INTLAQ does not allocate any portion of your payments as a gratuity or tip to the third-party service provider. Any statement made by INTLAQ (on its website or in the application or marketing materials) that tips are "voluntary" and/or "not required" and/or "included" in the payments you make for the services provided does not imply that INTLAQ provides any additional amounts to the third-party service provider other than the amounts specified above.
- You acknowledge and agree that while you are free to provide additional payments as a tip to any third-party service provider providing you with services through the service, you are not obligated to do so. Tips are given voluntarily. After receiving services through the service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and provide additional feedback about the third-party service provider.
Repair or Cleaning Fees
You will be responsible for the cost of repairing damages (or necessary cleaning) to the third-party service provider’s vehicles and property arising from your use of the services in your account that exceeds damages from "normal wear and tear" and necessary cleaning ("Repair or Cleaning"). If the third-party service provider reports the need for repair or cleaning and INTLAQ approves the request for such repair or cleaning at its reasonable discretion, INTLAQ reserves the right to facilitate payment of a reasonable cost for such repair or cleaning on behalf of the third-party service provider using the payment method specified in your account. INTLAQ will transfer these amounts to the relevant service provider and will be non-refundable.
Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.
The services are provided "as is" and "as available." INTLAQ disclaims all representations and warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, not explicitly stated in these terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Additionally, INTLAQ makes no representations or warranties regarding the reliability or accuracy of the schedules, quality, suitability, or availability of the services or any goods requested during the use of these services or regarding the uninterrupted nature of the services or their error-free operation. INTLAQ does not guarantee the quality, suitability, safety, or capability of third-party service providers.

- INTLAQ will not be liable for any damages, liabilities, or losses arising from: (1) your use of the services or reliance on them, or your inability to access or use the services; or (2) any business transaction or relationship between you and any third-party service provider, even if INTLAQ was advised of the possibility of such damages.

- You may use INTLAQ services to request and schedule transportation services from third-party service providers; however, you agree that INTLAQ has no liability or obligation to you regarding any transportation services provided to you by third-party service providers except as expressly set forth in these terms.

Indemnification.

Governing Law; Arbitration.

Any disputes, disagreements, claims, or controversies arising from these services or these terms or related to them (including regarding their validity, interpretation, or enforcement, referred to as a "Dispute") shall first be resolved mandatorily through settlement procedures under the mediation rules of the Chamber of Commerce.
- If the mentioned dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days from the submission of the request for settlement according to the Chamber's mediation rules, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration and resolved finally and exclusively under the arbitration rules of the Chamber.

The venue for both mediation and arbitration shall be Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, without prejudice to any law, and the Arabic language shall be the language of mediation or arbitration unless the parties are non-Arabic speakers, in which case mediation or arbitration will be conducted in both Arabic and English.
- The fact of the existence and content of the mediation and arbitration proceedings, including documents and pleadings submitted by either party, correspondence from the Chamber of Commerce, correspondence from the mediator, and correspondence and orders and decisions issued by the sole arbitrator, shall remain highly confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the express written consent of the other party unless: (1) disclosure to the third party is reasonably required in the context of executing the mediation or arbitration proceedings; and (2) the third party agrees in writing without condition to abide by the confidentiality obligations outlined in these terms.

Vouchers do not constitute stored value or a deposit held by INTLAQ and cannot be redeemed for cash. If your email address is not available in INTLAQ's records (for reasons such as not having provided this address to INTLAQ or for any other reason), INTLAQ will not seek to contact you, and any compensation for the VAT amount will be subject to your application as specified in paragraph 10 below.

Smoking Policy
