An outline of what this document has to cover.
Placeholder — not in force
This page is an outline of what the document needs to cover, not the document. It has not been written or reviewed by a lawyer and nothing on it is binding on anyone. Replace it before the site goes live.
Outline
1. What UpRide is
Must cover · The definitions of Partner (the person driving their own route), Commuter (the person riding along), and the Commute, Group and Trek products including the Route and Pod plans. How UpRide's role is described in law is for counsel following formal Ghana regulatory classification — the website must not classify the model, and this section must not be drafted from marketing copy.
2. Who can use it
Must cover · Minimum age, account accuracy, one account per person, and the grounds on which an account can be suspended or closed.
3. Partner approval
Must cover · What documents are required, that approval is a check rather than a guarantee, the vehicle and driving licence conditions, and a Partner's own responsibility for roadworthiness and valid insurance.
4. Insurance and Partner obligations
Must cover · Rebuilt from scratch. The previous draft was written around a capped cost-share model that no longer reflects Partner economics, and it asserted an insurance position the company is not entitled to assert. Counsel and the insurer set what cover a Partner must hold, what UpRide requires as evidence of it, and what happens if an insurer takes a different view.
5. Accepting and declining trips
Must cover · That a Partner is asked rather than dispatched and may decline; the difference between a Route booking and a Pod commitment; what a Commuter is entitled to when a Partner declines or cancels; the waiting-time rule at pickup; and the consequences of repeated no-shows on either side.
6. Fares, plans and payment
Must cover · How the Commuter fare is calculated from the distance band and the Commute plan; how a Partner's share is calculated; recurring weekly subscriptions, renewal and cancellation; payment timing and refunds; and what happens to a Trek seat reservation that is not paid for in time.
7. Trek
Must cover · How Trek differs from a Commute trip, seat reservation and hold periods, cancellation of a scheduled run by the Partner, and refunds. Trek may require a different licensing treatment from Commute; counsel reviews the operating model before paid launch.
8. Group
Must cover · Employer and community arrangements, fixed-route scheduling, what is offered on a corridor and on what terms, and how a dedicated vehicle is governed — who operates it, under what licence and with what cover. None of that is settled, which is why the product is presented as in design.
9. Conduct
Must cover · Expected behaviour of both Commuters and Partners, prohibited conduct, mutual ratings, and the reporting, suspension and enforcement process.
10. Liability
Must cover · The limits of Mobility Hub Africa's liability given it is not the transport provider, and what is expressly not excluded under Ghanaian consumer law.
11. Changes, governing law and disputes
Must cover · How and when terms change, notice given, governing law (Ghana), and the dispute resolution route.
