Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026  ·  qaimo.pk


1. Overview

Qaimo Sawari uses an attendance-based billing model. A ride is only billed when both the Owner marks "Arrived" and the Passenger confirms "Boarded." This model is designed to protect both parties — if attendance is not confirmed for a given day, no charge applies for that day.


2. When You Are Charged

A single ride direction is billed only when the following sequence is completed:

  1. The Owner marks "Arrived" at the agreed pickup point
  2. The Passenger confirms "Boarded" at the agreed pickup point

If either confirmation is not completed for a given direction, that ride is not billed.

For routes with both a morning and evening commute, each leg is treated as an independent billing event. Being charged (or not charged) for one leg does not affect the other.


3. Cancellations

3.1 Skipping a Day (Before the Ride)

Either party may skip a confirmed ride direction before it begins. No charge applies if the skip is made before the cancellation cutoff (currently 2 hours before the scheduled departure).

We encourage skips to be made with reasonable notice to avoid inconvenience. Repeated last-minute skips may affect your account standing.

3.2 No-Show (Passenger)

If the Owner has marked "Arrived" but the Passenger does not confirm boarding within a reasonable window, the Owner may mark the ride as a no-show. In this case:

  • The no-show is billed — the passenger is charged as if they boarded, since the owner arrived and waited
  • The no-show is recorded against the Passenger's account
  • Repeated no-shows may result in account review or suspension

3.3 Cancellation After Billing (Ride Incomplete Due to Owner)

If the Owner fails to complete the ride after the Passenger has already boarded (e.g., the owner leaves the route early), no charge applies for that incomplete leg. The Passenger should report the incomplete ride via support@qaimo.pk so our team can manually reverse the charge.


4. Refunds

4.1 Disputed Charges

If you believe you have been incorrectly charged for a ride, you may raise a dispute within 7 days of the ride date by contacting support@qaimo.pk with:

  • Your registered email address
  • The ride date and route
  • A description of the issue

We will investigate and respond within 5 business days.

4.3 Non-Refundable Scenarios

  • Rides where both "Arrived" and "Boarded" were legitimately confirmed
  • Platform fees (Qaimo's 10% cut) on completed rides
  • Disputes raised after 7 days of the ride date
  • Confirmed no-shows where the owner's arrival is verified

5. Qaimo's Platform Fee

Qaimo deducts a 10% platform fee from each completed ride's fare. This fee:

  • Is non-refundable once a ride is completed
  • May be revised with prior notice to users

6. How Refunds Are Processed

All refunds are currently processed manually by the Qaimo support team following dispute resolution. Billing adjustments are reflected in your next invoice cycle or applied as a credit against outstanding dues.

For urgent matters, contact support@qaimo.pk directly.


7. Repeated Violations

Users who repeatedly exploit the billing system (e.g., falsely marking boarding confirmation for rides they did not attend, or filing repeated bad-faith disputes) will have their accounts reviewed and may be suspended.
