These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and MONIIC TECH ELECTRONICS TRANSPORT SERVICES L L C, its parents, subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers, and directors (collectively, “Moniic”) governing your use of the Moniic mobile application (the “Moniic App”), and Moniic website (collectively, the “Moniic Platform”).
Moniic provides travel services for the User simply an entitlement to carriage over a TSP independent of Moniic. Therefore, Moniic makes the necessary arrangements with the TSP in its own name, which provides the User with an entitlement to carriage over the TSP. Consequently, Users are entitled to demand travel services and other claims directly from the TSP. The User uses Moniic only as an intermediate or an arranger and not as a transport service. The compensation claim of Moniic is made up of arrangement fees as well as the advance payment made by Moniic to the TSP.
By submitting a completed booking form via the Moniic App (“Ride Request” of the User) to Moniic the User makes an offer for the conclusion of an arrangement agreement. The object of this agreement is the arrangement of the travel service to meet the User’s Ride Request.
Moniic next sends the User a confirmation of the receipt of the ride details for the travel service that needs to be arranged either by email or through the mobile App . Through this, Moniic confirms only the receipt of the User’s Ride Request. The arrangement agreement between Moniic and the User for the requested travel service comes into effect only through a separate statement (“Booking Confirmation”) by Moniic through the APP. The User is then entitled to demand transportation services from the TSP directly as well as to make further claims directly against the TSP.
By entering into this Agreement, and/or by using or accessing the Moniic Platform you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement (including the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions hereof) and accept all of its terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement, you may not use or access the Moniic platform or any of the services provided through the Moniic platform.
When using the Moniic Platform, you also agree to conduct yourself in accordance with our Terms of Service, and other supplemental terms which shall form part of this Agreement between you and Moniic. Supplemental terms may apply to certain services, such as policies for a particular event, loyalty program, activity, or promotion, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable services. Supplemental terms are in addition to and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement for the purposes of the applicable services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over this Agreement in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable services.
Moniic may amend this Agreement from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon Moniic’s posting of an updated Agreement at this location or the amended policies or supplemental terms on the applicable service. Your continued access or use of the Moniic Platform after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by this Agreement, as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Moniic may immediately terminate this Agreement with respect to you, or generally, cease offering or deny access to the Moniic Platform or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason without notice.
The collection and use of personal information in connection with the Moniic Platform is as provided in Moniic’s Privacy Policy.

The Services are used only to offer or accept Car Bookings in exchange for Payments.

- Chauffeurs and Transport Service providers are reminded that using the Services and accepting Car Booking offers or listing Vehicles for hire or reward or in a commercial or professional capacity through the Moniic Platform is subject to additional permits and licenses from the concerned regulatory authorities and government departments.

Any offering of Vehicles or acceptance of Trips in violation of regulatory compliance shall be at the sole risk of such Member and Moniic shall have no liability towards Members for such violations.
- Neither Moniic nor the Moniic Platform provides any transport services. The Moniic Platform is a communications platform for Members to transact with one another. Moniic does not interfere with Trips, destinations, or timings. The agreement for Car Booking is between the Chauffeur and the Passenger. Moniic is not a party to any agreement or transaction between Members, nor is Moniic liable in respect of any matter arising which relates to a booking between Members. Moniic is not and will not act as an agent for any Member.
- Booking and Payment
- Moniic offers its Members an online booking service (hereinafter, the “Booking Service”) with a view to facilitating the booking of chauffeured luxury rides by Passengers.
- Moniic reserves the right not to offer the Booking Service to a Trip due to: (i) changes to applicable law or changes in the practice of regulatory authorities (ii) changes to market practices or technology changes, (iii) changes of business considerations underlying the Booking Services, and (iv) other important and valid reasons.
- Car Booking Process:
- The Passenger provides details of his or her Trip on the Moniic Platform, specifying the pick-up and drop-off location, and then chooses one of the luxury vehicles listed on the Moniic Platform. The Passenger books the chosen Vehicle for that Trip from the Moniic Platform exclusively by clicking on the button “Book” (hereinafter, “Booking”). Moniic will then notify the Chauffeurs present in and around the pick-up area. If a Chauffeur accepts the Booking then Moniic will send a confirmation notification to the Chauffeur and the Passenger confirming the Booking (hereinafter, the “Booking Confirmation”). Once a Booking Confirmation has been sent, the Booking is complete and a separate binding agreement for Car Booking relating to the Trip shall be formed between the Chauffeur and Passenger(s).
- Members accept that given the nature of the service Chauffeurs and Passengers will have no recourse to Moniic for any aspect of the transaction including in relation to the cancellation or last-minute changes to the Trip, failure by the Chauffeur or the Passenger to turn up or non-payment of the Payment. In particular, it is the Chauffeur’s responsibility to collect payment from the Passenger at the time of the Trip.
- Moniic is not obliged to contact either party and will take no other steps whatsoever than those described above to manage the Booking. The operation of the Trip is solely managed by the respective Chauffeur and Passenger(s). Please note that Moniic reserves the right to change any aspect of the Moniic Platform or the Service which may include adding new services (which may require payment) or withdrawing any existing Services. Moniic does not guarantee that the Moniic Platform will be functional at all times and Services may be suspended during such periods when the Moniic Platform is not in operation. Moniic will not be liable to any of the Members in the case where the Moniic Platform is non-operational.
- Scheduled & Hourly Bookings, Changes to Service
- The User can choose between Scheduled and Hourly bookings for their Ride Request. If, according to the express wishes of the User, or guest, the actual Ride Request requires additional effort compared to the original Ride Request, the TSP should carry this out where possible. The extra effort may result in additional costs for the individual arrangement.
- Changes in Travel Arrangements are subject to the availability of the TSP and can be made by the User.
- In the case of Scheduled Bookings, the price quoted is valid for a start and destination address. An additional fee, according to the current price structure, accrues per stopover on the direct route. All Scheduled Trips are confirmed one hour before the trip is supposed to commence.
- For hourly bookings, all the requests will be fulfilled by Moniic TSPs (Transport Service Providers) who are the companies’ Transportation partners. See list of Moniic’s TSPs here. For all Hourly bookings, the trip must always end in the same Emirate as the pickup location. An hourly booking always starts at the pick-up time confirmed upon booking. For hourly bookings, there will be a minimum number of kilometers assigned based on the booked vehicle category. Users can easily view this information in the app when making an hourly reservation.
- If a ride is spontaneously lengthened (distance or number of hours) according to the wish of the User, or guest, the actual service (total distance or number of hours) will be newly calculated and priced according to the current price structure. In the case of hourly bookings, each additional 30-minute block is considered for invoicing, i.e. from the first additional minute, a half hour will be rounded up to ensure more reliable planning.
- As a result, the compensation claim from the User increases when Moniic incurs additional expenses for the Contract of Carriage. The users might be charged for the additional amount in up to 2 separate transactions.
- Transport Safety, Consequences
- Luggage, Animals
- The price given in the Booking Confirmation includes the number of pieces of luggage specified on the booking form of the App. Excess luggage, bulky luggage, or the transportation of animals not stated as an additional comment upon booking could lead to corresponding surcharges; the arrangement fee will also be higher, as stated in the Booking Confirmation.
- The TSP reserves the right to refuse the carriage of luggage and/or animals which was/were not agreed to. This also applies to animals that are not contained in a closed and suitable transport box.
- Carriage of Children
- The need for safety seats for children should be requested by the User as an additional comment by specifying the number and age of children to be transported as well as the required type of seating.
- Number of Guests and Pieces of Luggage
- The maximum number of guests and pieces of luggage specified for a particular vehicle is an estimate based on factors such as the size and weight of guests and luggage. These are therefore not binding.
- The TSP can refuse the carriage of guests or luggage if they believe they compromise the space and safety conditions.
- Prevention of Carriage
- The TSP reserves the right to refuse carriage if compelling (for example under applicable laws) requirements under Paragraph 2.4 were not at all, or not correctly, communicated by the User as an additional comment.
- If, due to this, the carriage is not possible, this does not influence the payment of Moniic through the arrangement agreement with the User for the transportation booked.
- Delays
Exceptional situations such as pandemic lockdowns, strikes, extreme weather conditions, etc. can be compensated only to a limited extent, meaning that longer waiting periods or last-minute cancellations must be accepted by Users. - Cancellations, Changes to Booking, and No-Shows
- Cancellation
- Scheduled trips:
Cancellation is free of charge if there is more than one hour left before the agreed pickup time. If there is one hour or less before the agreed pickup time, the total price must be paid. A cancellation can only be done by using the cancel feature in our App. - Hourly Bookings:
Cancellation is free of charge if there are more than 24 hours left before the agreed pickup time. If there are 24 hours or less before the agreed pickup time, the total price must be paid. A cancellation can only be done by using the cancel feature in our App.
- Changes to Booking
- Changes to bookings are generally treated as new bookings. The policy for dealing with cancellations (see Paragraph 2.6.1 above) therefore applies to the ride originally agreed upon. A compensation claim by Moniic for the originally agreed ride may be made accordingly.
- No-shows without cancellation, Delay to the User
In case of a no-show without cancellation, the User loses their entitlement to carriage over the TSP, however, this does not affect the compensation claim of Moniic towards the User.- Scheduled trips
A ride is considered a no-show if the User, or guest, has not shown up without cancellation within 30 minutes after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full, whereas possible surcharges for waiting time do not apply.
For airport pickups, the ride is considered a no-show when the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation within 30 minutes after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full, whereas possible surcharges for waiting time do not apply. - Hourly Bookings
A ride is considered a no-show if the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation after the expiration of the hours booked after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full.
For airport pickups, the ride is considered a no-show when the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation after the expiration of the hours booked after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full.
- Behavior in the Vehicle
The following behavioral standards apply to the User when traveling with the TSP: During the entirety of the ride, all guests must follow the regulations that apply to the relevant Road users, especially the seat belt regulations. Any instructions given by the TSP must be followed. It is the responsibility of the TSP to ensure a safe ride. It is therefore prohibited for guests to open the doors while driving, throw any objects from the vehicle, and/or stick body parts out of or shout from the vehicle. If the User wishes to use any of the devices or facilities in the vehicle, a brief instruction is required from the TSP. Smoking is prohibited in the guest part of the vehicle. If the User, or guest, ignores this, they are liable to pay not only the cost for the cleaning of the vehicle but also compensate for the loss of business due to the downtime of the vehicle. The consumption of food in the vehicle is prohibited. Alcoholic drinks are only allowed to be consumed in the car with prior consent. - Compensation and Payment
- Principles
The compensation claim of Moniic is specified in the Booking Confirmation. Key factors for its amount (including reimbursement of expenses to Moniic for the arranged transportation service) are the chosen vehicle class, the distance, how far in advance the ride is booked, as well as the pickup time and possibly the location. Additionally booked special requests, e.g., additional stops, bulky luggage, car seats for children, etc. may cause the price to increase. - Ride Changes
Even after the conclusion of the arrangement agreement and even after the start of the ride, provided it is possible for the TSP, the User (and the guest) can make changes to the Travel Arrangements. If a ride is spontaneously lengthened (distance or number of hours) according to the wish of the User, or guest, the actual service (total distance or number of hours) will be newly calculated and priced according to the current price structure. In the case of hourly bookings, each additional 30-minute block is considered for invoicing, i.e. from the first additional minute, a half hour will be rounded up to ensure more reliable planning.
Accordingly, the compensation claim increases for the User, due to Moniic’s expenses for the Contract of Carriage for the Benefit of the User increasing. If the distance or number of hours is less than originally booked, the price remains unaffected. - Other premiums
- Waiting Times for Scheduled rides.
For Scheduled Ride, no surcharges are applied in the case of airport (excluding long-distance train stations) for a waiting time of up to 30 minutes after the agreed pickup time, Each additional minute of waiting time will be calculated as a flat rate, including VAT, according to the hourly booking prices of the vehicle category. Any additional kilometers are subject to surcharge and are calculated according to the price per kilometer of the particular vehicle category. - Additional Kilometers for Hourly Bookings
Hourly bookings contain the kilometers (per hour) that are stated on the booking form. Any additional kilometers are subject to a surcharge and are calculated according to the price per kilometer of the particular vehicle category.
- Terms of Payment and Transaction Fees
The User can pay for their ride with a credit card. Incidental credit card charges are carried by Moniic. Any transaction fees when making payments via bank transfer ( if available for that region ) (e.g. due to different currencies or different local accounts) are carried by the User. - Payment Reminders, Unpaid Credit Card Invoices
For each payment reminder, Moniic may charge an appropriate penalty fine. For unpaid credit card debts, Moniic charges the User for the incurred expenses (bank, credit card company) and reserves the right to assert an appropriate handling fee per incident. In addition to this, the User’s access to the Moniic application will also be suspended until all unpaid dues to Moniic have been cleared. - Sending of Invoices, Payment Dates
Moniic provides the User with the respective invoice electronically as a download in their Moniic account. When paying by credit card, payment is due immediately. - Vouchers
