These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to or use of applications, websites, content, products, and services (the "Services") provided by DICE, a mobile transportation service platform established in Nigeria to meet the needs of users. We emphasize your safety and take precautions to ensure that you have a quality experience. DICE mobile applications or websites, on the other hand, allow users to use the technology platform to arrange and schedule transportation, logistics services, and/or food delivery, and package delivery services with independent third-party providers who have an agreement with DICE or its affiliates.

The Services

Except otherwise authorized by DICE in a separate written agreement with you, the services are provided purely for your personal, non-commercial use. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DICE DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION, LOGISTICS, FOOD DELIVERY, OR PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES OR FUNCTION AS A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER, AND THAT ALL SUCH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY CONTRACTORS WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED BY DICE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.

These terms and conditions ("Agreement") govern your use of the dice.com.ng website ("Website"), "DICE" mobile application ("Mobile Application"), and any connected products and services (collectively, "Services"). This agreement is legally binding between you ("User", "you", or "your") and DICE ("DICE", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing and using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement.

If you are engaging into this Agreement on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the capacity to bind that entity to this Agreement; in that instance, the terms "User," "you," or "your" will relate to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree to the provisions of this Agreement, you must not accept it and may not use the Services. You acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a contract between you and DICE, despite the fact that it is electronic and not physically signed by you, and that it regulates your use of the Service.

Dice is a mobile technology company that does not provide transportation, logistics, courier, or other similar services ("Services"). Independent Third Party utilize our Platform to deliver these Services. Any decision to offer or accept the Services is made at the full discretion of the user and at their own risk. Dice does not direct or control Independent Third Party in general, or their ability to provide Services. Any feature, method, or other effort that we make to improve your experience with our Platform does not indicate an employment or agency relationship with any user.

Our Platform connects Independent third-party transportation, logistics, or courier service providers ("Drivers") with their clients ("Riders"). When riders request a ride, they negotiate a price or fixed price for the driver's services. The Drivers who see the request have the option of accepting the suggested price or making their own offer. The Rider may select a Driver from the list of Drivers who have indicated an interest in accepting the request. When the rider confirms the ride, the Driver and the Rider enter into their own agreement.

Certain portions of the Services may not be available to children under the age of 18 in any circumstances.

Billing and Payments

The user can choose whether to pay with cash, debit/credit card, or mobile wallet when using the DICE app. Once a payment option has been chosen, the user may change it as desired. You must pay all fees and charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing conditions in place at the time they are due and payable.

Other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges, such as a booking fee, municipal, provincial, and national tolls, airport surcharges, and processing fees for carpool payments, may also be included in the charges. Where required by law, the prices will also include applicable taxes. Unless otherwise determined by DICE, all charges paid by you are final and non-refundable.

Between you and DICE, DICE reserves the right to establish, remove, and/or adjust charges for any or all services or items obtained through the use of the Services at any time in its sole discretion.

Such offers may effect or be applied to service payments or ride prices, lowering said amounts, and are offered in the form of bonuses.

Bonuses are only usable in the Dice app and are not transferable or redeemable for cash. Bonuses can be used to pay for license fees on Drivers orders.

 DICE may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar products or services obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. You may cancel your request for services or products from a Third Party Provider at any time before the Third Party Provider arrives, but you may be charged a cancellation fee.

Additional details about Offers can be found in a notice inside the app or through any other means of communication specified in these Terms. Dice also maintains the right to withhold or reduce Bonuses or other advantages gained through Offers if it detects or suspects that the Offer was redeemed incorrectly, fraudulently, illegally, or in violation of the particular promotion or these Terms. Dice reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice to the user, to terminate, discontinue, modify, or cancel any Offers.

If the Driver's account balance on the Dice app falls below zero, he or she must refund the entire amount owed within 2 days. The Driver's access to the Dice app will be restricted until the balance is increased to cover the debt; during this time, the Driver will be unable to see or bargain with Passengers.

Dice does not provide cash refunds for failed transaction. A refund may take up to 7 business days to be received from receipt of your request in writing for a refund. If more time has elapsed and you have yet to receive your refund, please contact us via email at support@dice.com.ng.
