PLEASE READ THESE USER TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE ByRoad APPLICATION AND/OR USING OUR WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICE.
The ByRoad Terms and Conditions (“User Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between ByRoad (“ByRoad” “we”, “us”, or “our”), the owner and operator of the www.ByRoad.com website and its related software application and platform (hereafter, collectively referred to as the “ByRoad Service”) and you (“you” or “your”), the user of the ByRoad Service. BY USING THE ByRoad SERVICE IN ANY FORM OR FASHION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NAVIGATING ByRoad.ae OR UTILIZING THE ByRoad MOBILE APPLICATION OR ONLINE PLATFORM), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THESE USER TERMS, AND ByRoad PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.ByRoad.ae/PRIVACY-POLICY/ AND WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE ByRoad SERVICE.
THE USER TERMS ARE INTENDED FOR ALL USERS OF THE ByRoad SERVICE, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SIMPLY NAVIGATING THE WEBSITE OR THOSE WHO REGISTER AN ACCOUNT. HOWEVER, DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE USER TERMS AFFECT USERS DIFFERENTLY, SO PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.
1. ByRoad Service Overview.
ByRoad provides an online platform whereby users can connect with vendors who offer roadside assistance and tow services (hereafter, “Providers”). Users can access the ByRoad Service through the use of the ByRoad.ae website or ByRoad mobile application and can be accessed by you on your single mobile device (smart phone) or computer. ByRoad is not directly involved in or otherwise a party to any transactions that may take place between users and Providers. ByRoad has no control over the quality, safety, or legality of any aspect of Providers’ services or offerings or any claims made by Providers about the services they offer, the truth or accuracy of warranties or pricing supplied by Providers to ByRoad, the ability of Providers to provide the services offered, or the ability of users to pay for Provider’s services. ByRoad does not conduct background checks regarding any users or Providers. ByRoad is not a broker, agent or insurer for any users or Providers. ByRoad makes no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding any content or information provided by users or Providers. We encourage you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available through the ByRoad Services. All purchases made by users from Providers are made at each party’s own risk. ByRoad has customer information and privacy policies as set forth in its Privacy Policy http:/ByRoad.ae/privacy-policy/, which is fully incorporated herein by reference.
2. Registration for ByRoad Service.
Registration with the ByRoad Service is subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
(a) Eligibility: By registering with ByRoad, you represent and warrant that all registration information you submit, including, without limitation, your first and last name, mobile telephone number, vehicle information (make, model, year, etc.), and credit card or financial account payment information is completely accurate and truthful. ByRoad may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer access to or use of the ByRoad Services to any party and change the eligibility criteria at any time. By registering with ByRoad, you represent that if you are an individual, you are of legal age to enter into a binding contract and that if you are registering on behalf of a legal entity, that you are authorized to enter into, and bind the entity to, these User Terms and register for the ByRoad Service.
(b) Security of Registration Information: You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and correctness of your registration information. You are fully responsible for all activity, liability and damage resulting from your failure to maintain password confidentiality. You agree to immediately notify ByRoad of any unauthorized use of your password or any breach of security. You also agree that ByRoad shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your password secure.
(c) Compliance: You agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content. In addition, you must abide by our policies as stated in the User Terms as well as all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time via the ByRoad Service, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and each of which may be updated by ByRoad from time to time without notice to you.
3. How to use the ByRoad Service.
The ByRoad Service offers you a platform to send a request for roadside assistance or tow services to a Provider. The GPS receiver, which should be installed on the mobile device (smart phone), or Internet Protocol address on your computer, requests your permission to detect your location and sends your location information to the relevant Provider. The Provider has sole and complete discretion to accept or reject each request for service. The Provider also has sole and complete discretion over whether to use the ByRoad Service to receive the leads generated through the ByRoad platform. If the Provider accepts a request, the ByRoad mobile application notifies you and provides information regarding the Provider – including vehicle information, and the ability to contact the Provider by telephone.
Once you select a Provider, please note the following:
PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION: ByRoad will place an immediate payment authorization to your credit card account in the estimated amount of the service (or in the case of roadside assistance, the amount quoted in the ByRoad mobile application). However, the ultimate charge to your credit card account will be for the actual cost of the service.
CANCELLATION
Cancellation is subject to payment of AED 100 non-refundable charge.
You will be charged the full amount of the quoted service price for any of the following cancellation instances/reasons: driver is on scene and you cancel for any reason; driver determines you have inaccurately stated the conditions of your vehicle thus the cost of service will be higher than initially quoted and you cancel service; you are Gone On Arrival (GOA) and/or fail to cancel service.
ADDITIONAL CHARGES:
To the extent your description of the services needed and/or conditions impacting your vehicle are deficient, inaccurate or otherwise misstated and/or the services required are more extensive than your description indicated, the price quote provided through the ByRoad mobile application shall not be binding and you are responsible for paying for any additional services needed and/or requested.
For the avoidance of doubt: ByRoad itself does not provide any roadside assistance or tow services, and ByRoad is not a services carrier. Any roadside assistance and/or tow services are through the Provider. ByRoad solely provides the platform through which you and the Provider can learn about each other. The provision of the services by the Provider to you is therefore subject to any agreement that you choose to enter into with the Provider. ByRoad is never a party to any such agreement and you hereby agree to release ByRoad from all liability and claims arising from any acts or omissions of Provider.
4. Your Use of the ByRoad Service.
By using the ByRoad Services, you agree to the following restrictions on your use of the ByRoad Service:

Use of the ByRoad Service without obtaining Provider services is free of charge for users. ByRoad reserves the right to introduce certain fees in the future. However, ByRoad shall provide you with prior written notice of such fees.

You agree that you will pay for all services you purchase from the Provider, and that ByRoad may charge your credit card account as provided by you when registering for the ByRoad Service for the Provider services, including any taxes and late fees, as applicable, that may be accrued by or in connection with your account. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing ByRoad with a valid credit card account for payment of all fees at all times. All payments are non-refundable, subject to applicable law.
ByRoad uses a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to link your credit card account to the ByRoad Service. The processing of payments or credits, as applicable, in connection with your use of the ByRoad Service will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer in addition to these User Terms. ByRoad is not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor and you hereby agree to release ByRoad from all liability arising from any acts or omissions of Payment Processor. In connection with your use of the ByRoad Service, ByRoad will obtain certain transaction details, which shall be maintained in accordance with ByRoad’s Privacy Policy.
6. No Employment/Agent/Broker Relationship.
ByRoad is not an employment service and does not serve as an employer of any user of the ByRoad Service or Provider. ByRoad is not liable for any tax or withholding, including but not limited to unemployment insurance, employer’s liability, social security or payroll withholding tax in connection with any use of the ByRoad Service or Provider’s services. No brokerage, agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these User Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly set forth herein, ByRoad is not acting and does not act as an agent or broker for any users, Providers, or any other user of the ByRoad Service.

THESE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF ByRoad, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE USER TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE ByRoad SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED AED 350. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE USER TERMS HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE OR IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ByRoad does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted access to the ByRoad Service. Although ByRoad attempts to maintain the integrity and accuracy of the information accessible through the ByRoad Service, we make no guarantees as to its correctness, completeness, or accuracy.

The quality of the services requested through the use of the ByRoad Service is entirely the responsibility of the Provider who ultimately provides such services to you.

IN ADDITION, NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION (ORAL OR WRITTEN) OBTAINED BY YOU FROM ByRoad OR ITS AFFILIATES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

During use of the ByRoad Service, you may enter into correspondence with, purchase goods and/or services from, or participate in promotions of third party service providers, advertisers or sponsors showing their goods and/or services through a link on the ByRoad Service. These links take you off the ByRoad Service and are beyond ByRoad’s control. The websites you can link to have their own separate terms and conditions as well as a privacy policy. ByRoad is not responsible and cannot be held liable for the content and activities of these websites. You therefore visit or access these websites entirely at your own risk.

17. Invalidity of one or more provisions.

ByRoad may change these User Terms and will post the modified terms (which shall then become the agreement between you and ByRoad) with the new effective date listed above. ByRoad will also give you prior notice that the User Terms have been changed using the contact information provided by you. Therefore, you agree to keep your account information up-to-date. ByRoad also encourages you to check the terms of these User Terms from time to time to see if they have been updated.

20. Assignment.
You may not assign your rights under these User Terms without prior written approval of ByRoad.
21. Applicable law and Dispute Resolution.
The User Terms and the resolution of any dispute related to these User Terms will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state.
You and ByRoad agree to resolve any disputes between us in accordance with this Section 21. If you believe that ByRoad has not adhered to the User Terms or you have any dispute with ByRoad, please contact ByRoad using the contact information provided below. We will do our best to address your concerns and each party agrees to attempt to resolve any disputes with the other amicably.
Except as provided herein, you and ByRoad agree that we will resolve any disputes between us that we cannot resolve as provided above through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. All such controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and ByRoad relating to the ByRoad Services or these User Terms (each a “Claim”) shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Center and/or UAE law. If DIAC is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an available alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) and the rules of such provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs, documents, or other evidence submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.
For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is AED 10,000 or less, the DIAC (or ADR Provider, if applicable), you and ByRoad must abide by the following rules: (a) the arbitration will be conducted solely based on written submissions; and (b) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds AED 10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the DIAC (or ADR Provider, if applicable) rules, and the hearing (if any) will be held in a location reasonably convenient to both parties unless the parties agree otherwise on a specific location.
If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, ByRoad will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and ByRoad also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and ByRoad retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these User Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these User Terms.
Neither you nor ByRoad may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or ByRoad’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
If any provision of this Section 21 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section 21 shall continue in full force and effect.
