Drivers provide transport services on an independent basis (either in person or via a company) as economic and professional service providers. HEYA RIDE is not responsible in any way for the fulfilment of the contract entered into between the passenger (you) and the driver. Disputes arising from consumer rights, legal obligations or from law applicable to the provision of transport services will be resolved between the passengers and drivers. Data regarding the drivers and their transport service is available in the HEYA RIDE app and receipts for journeys are sent to the email address listed in passenger’s profile.
