General Rules on Hala Competitions, Contests and Giveaways
Unless otherwise specified, Hala will conduct all competitions, contests and giveaways (each a “Competition”) as described in this section and by entering or participating in a Competition, each entrant or participant (“Entrant”) agrees to these rules, whether or not any separate additional specific terms apply to the Competition.
When entering or participating in a Competition, an Entrant may be eligible for a prize specified in the corresponding promotional material (the “Prize”). Hala may reject an entry at its own discretion, provided that such rejection will not conflict with applicable law.
The Prize is non-transferable, non-exchangeable and no cash alternative is offered. In the event of a Prize being unavailable, Hala reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of equal or greater value if circumstances beyond Hala’s control make it necessary to do so. To the extent permitted by law, the Competition Winner (defined below) will be responsible for any and all taxes incurred in relation to receipt of the Prize.
Participation in a Competition does not automatically mean that the Entrant has won the Prize. A winning entry (the “Competition Winner”) will be chosen by random draw (performed by a computer process or supervised by an independent third party) or by a panel of individuals adjudicating the entries. Reasonable efforts will be made to contact the Competition Winner but if the Competition Winner cannot be contacted or fails to reply to Hala’s communication within the communicated timeframe, Hala reserves the right to offer the prize to the next eligible Entrant. Hala will not be liable if the Prize does not reach the Competition Winner for reasons beyond Hala’s reasonable control.
Without prejudice to the “Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability & Indemnity” section, Hala will not accept responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, interruptions, deletion, or unauthorized access to Competition entries, or entries lost or delayed, whether or not arising as a result of server functions, virus, bugs, or other causes outside Hala’s control. IN NO EVENT SHALL HALA’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO ANY ENTRANT FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COMPETITION OR ANY MATERIAL PUBLISHED IN RELATION TO A COMPETITION EXCEED THE MONETARY VALUE OF THE PRIZE.
Hala reserves the right to cancel or amend the Competition and any associated terms and conditions. Any changes will be notified to the Entrants as soon as reasonably practicable. If these terms do not, or do not clearly, cater for a solution to any matter which may arise, then Hala shall have the sole discretion to decide finally on any such matter. Hala’s decisions on any aspect of the Competition are final and binding and no correspondence will be entered into about it.
Other Promotions, Bundles, Credits, Mobile Top Ups, and Referral Programs through the Careem Platform

Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Taxi Franchise. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Hala.
If you elect to pay via the Careem Platform, you will receive a receipt via email to the email address registered to your Account.

Any representation by Hala (on Hala’s website, its marketing materials or elsewhere) to the effect that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” and/or “included” in the payments you make for services provided is not intended to suggest that Hala provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to Captains. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Captain who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary.
