  1. SERVICES


Booking Services
4.1. The Application allows You to send a request to book a Vehicle for a Ride (a “Booking Services Request”). You may book a Vehicle using the Application if one is available near You / Your location. Once You have made a Booking Services Request:

    (ii) the Application will send Your Booking Services Request to OLA UK;
    (iii) OLA UK will notify You that Your Booking Services Request is being processed; and
    (iv) OLA UK will use its reasonable endeavours to find a Driver for Your Booking Services Request and where OLA UK successfully finds a Driver to perform Your Ride, OLA UK will notify You that Your Booking Services Request has been accepted.
4.2. The Booking Services provided through the Application shall include:
    (i) Accepting or rejecting Booking Services Requests;
    (ii) Identifying Drivers to provide Rides;
    (iii) Keeping records of the Booking Services Requests;

4.3. OLA UK will only accept Your Booking Services Request once a Driver has been found to provide Your Ride. The acceptance of Your Booking Services Request is subject to the availability of a Driver around Your location at the time of Your request, inaccessibility of Your location, or a traffic accident or breakdown of the Vehicle for some other reason (and OLA UK may accept or reject the request for a Ride contained in Your Booking Services Request in its sole and absolute discretion).
Transport Services
4.4. The Transport Services do not come into effect unless and until OLA UK has successfully found a Driver to perform the relevant Ride, subsequently accepted Your Booking Services Request, provided a Booking Confirmation to You in accordance with clause 4.5 below and otherwise met the other requirements of clause 4.5.
4.5. If a Driver validly informs OLA UK that they accept the request for the Ride contained in Your Booking Services Request, OLA UK will:

    (ii) send You a Booking Confirmation through the Application;

You accept and agree that weather, traffic, roadworks, act of police or other government authorities and other unexpected delays such as traffic accidents or health incidents affecting Drivers are all outside OLA UK’s control and as a result, OLA UK does not commit to collect You at the requested pick up time or deliver You to Your requested destination or any way points by an estimated or any other time.
