Refund Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2025

1. Purpose

This Refund Policy explains when and how riders or drivers may receive refunds for payments made through Gamride Pro. It ensures fairness, transparency, and compliance with consumer-protection principles under The Gambia's commercial and digital-services regulations.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all bookings and payments made via:

  • Credit/Debit card transactions
  • In-app wallets or prepaid balances
  • Mobile money services

It applies to riders, drivers, and partners using the Platform.

3. Eligible Refund Situations

Refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:

  • Duplicate Payment – Rider is charged twice for the same trip
  • Driver No-Show – Rider was ready at pickup but no driver arrived within a reasonable time window (usually 10 minutes)
  • System Error or App Failure – Technical issue prevented ride completion after payment was deducted
  • Ride Cancelled by Driver Before Start – If a prepaid or in-app payment was made, the rider is entitled to a full refund
  • Pricing Error – Fare charged differs significantly from the instant price displayed due to system error
  • Refunds for Subscription or Wallet Deposits – Only unused wallet balances are refundable upon verified request

Note: Rides completed successfully or cancelled by the rider after driver acceptance are generally not refundable, except where system or driver misconduct is proven.

4. Non-Refundable Cases

Refunds will not be issued for:

  • Rider-initiated cancellations after pickup confirmation
  • Delays caused by traffic, weather, or other conditions beyond control
  • Price changes due to traffic conditions or demand fluctuations
  • Service fees for bookings or wallet top-ups once processed
  • Promotional credits or discount vouchers

5. Refund Request Process

Step 1 — Submit a Request

Email support@gamridepro.com or use the in-app support form within 72 hours of the transaction. Include:

  • Full name and registered mobile number
  • Ride ID or transaction reference number
  • Payment method and amount
  • Reason for refund with any supporting evidence (screenshot, receipt etc.)

Step 2 — Investigation

Our support team will acknowledge your request within 2 business days and investigate the issue with driver, payment provider, and system logs.

Step 3 — Resolution

  • Approved refunds will be processed within 7 to 14 business days, depending on your payment provider
  • Refunds are credited to the original payment method or wallet balance
  • If the refund is denied, we will provide a written explanation

6. Partial Refunds

When a ride is only partially completed due to cancellation or system failure, a pro-rated refund based on distance or time travelled may apply. This is assessed case by case.

7. Special Notes for Drivers

Drivers who receive advance payment for a ride later cancelled by the rider must return the funds via the app or as instructed by Gamride Pro. Failure to do so may result in deduction from future earnings or account suspension.

8. Chargebacks and Fraud

If a chargeback or fraudulent claim is filed, we reserve the right to suspend the user's account while the investigation is underway. Repeated false claims may lead to permanent account termination.

9. Modifications

Gamride Pro reserves the right to amend this policy from time to time. Updated versions will be published on the Platform with the revised effective date. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
