BikeZap is a community marketplace. It does not sell, ship or guarantee any item — you deal directly with the other user.

Terms & Conditions

Effective date: 29 September 2026  ·  Operator: Abhay Soni  ·  Open this document on its own page

Please read this before you use BikeZap

BikeZap is a marketplace platform, not a shop. We build the software that lets people meet and transact. We are not the seller, buyer, landlord, tenant, employer, service provider or broker in any deal that happens on the app — unless we expressly say so in writing. That single idea runs through all of these terms.

1. Who we are

BikeZap ("BikeZap", "we", "us", "our") is an Android mobile application operated by Abhay Soni, an individual developer based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. BikeZap is a technology platform that allows users to post listings and communicate with other users to buy, sell, rent or offer goods and services.

When we use "you", "your" or "your account", we mean the person or business entity that created the account. When we use "user", "member" or "seller", "buyer", "renter", "landlord", "employer" or "service provider", we mean any person using BikeZap in that role.

You can reach us at microuserme@gmail.com or on WhatsApp at +91 78978 97500.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By creating an account, posting a listing, or otherwise using BikeZap, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the app.

If you accept these terms on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have the legal authority to bind that organisation, and "you" includes that organisation.

Some features may additionally require you to accept separate terms (for example, a rental handover agreement). Where that happens, the additional terms apply only to that feature and only for as long as you use it.

3. Eligibility

  • You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use BikeZap, because our categories include property, vehicles, employment and rental agreements. If you are under 18, do not use the app; a parent or guardian may use it on your behalf instead.
  • You must be legally capable of entering into a binding contract in India.
  • You may hold only one active account at a time, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
  • You must provide accurate information about yourself and keep it up to date.
  • You may use BikeZap only for lawful purposes and only where it is legal for you to do so.

4. Account registration and security

  • BikeZap signs you in with an email address and a password, handled by Firebase Authentication. We do not read your password. If you lose access to your email, use "forgot password" in the app to receive a reset link.
  • You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Keep your device secure, do not share your sign-in credentials, and do not let someone else use your account.
  • Tell us immediately at microuserme@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorised access, and change your BikeZap password from the app. If your email account has been compromised, change that password too.
  • Provide a phone number you actually control and can respond on. Many important messages (buyer enquiries, verification calls, rental handovers) depend on it.
  • Do not use another person's name, identity documents, email address, phone number, or photos in your listings. Impersonation leads to permanent removal.
  • Accounts that are unused and inactive for 6 months may be removed after we try to contact you. Restore access by signing in before that happens.

5. Free seller verification

Basic use of BikeZap — browsing, chatting and posting up to the standard listing limits — is free. So is seller verification. BikeZap does not charge a verification fee, a listing fee, a subscription fee, or any other fee to use the app, and we will never ask you to pay to become a verified seller or to publish a listing.

Verification is always free
  • Verification is free for every seller. There is no fee, no charge, and no payment of any kind, inside or outside the app.
  • To display a Verified Seller badge, we manually review your profile and identity information. Once approved, the badge is issued at no cost.
  • A verified badge is optional. You can use BikeZap fully without ever requesting one, within the free listing limits.
  • We will never ask you to pay for a listing, a verified badge, a buyer lead, feature access, or a guaranteed sale. If anyone contacts you claiming to be BikeZap and asks for money to boost a listing or unlock a feature, it is a scam — please report it to us.

Because there is nothing to pay for, there is no fee to dispute. If you are ever asked to pay anything in the name of BikeZap, contact us at microuserme@gmail.com.

6. Listings: what you post

Everything you post on BikeZap is "Your Content". You are solely responsible for it, and you must have the legal right to post it. When you post a listing you promise that:

  • You own the item or service, or you have the owner's clear permission to list it. You are not a middleman reselling goods you have never seen.
  • The description, title, price, condition, year, model, and photographs are true, accurate and complete.
  • Your photographs are your own or properly licensed. Do not use stock photos, photos from another seller, dealership press shots, or the manufacturer's catalogue images as if they were the actual item.
  • You disclose every known defect, damage, accident history, pending legal issue, and anything a buyer would consider material. "Like New" must actually look like new.
  • You state a realistic price. Fake or placeholder pricing, "DM for price", bait pricing of ₹1, and listings that exist only to redirect users elsewhere are not permitted.
  • Any licence, permit, registration, tax, clearance or documentation the item requires is valid and transferable.
  • You do not include another person's phone number, email, QR code, social handle or payment ID in a listing or message without their consent.

We review listings. We may edit, hide, demote or remove any listing that does not meet these standards, and we may ask you for proof of ownership (receipt, invoice, RC book, bill of sale, original photographs with a timestamp, or a short live video).

7. Prohibited items, goods, services and categories

The following may never be listed, sold, rented, offered or advertised on BikeZap, in any category, at any price, for any reason. This list is not exhaustive; anything that cannot lawfully be traded, advertised or transported in India is prohibited.

Always prohibited — no exceptions

  • Weapons and ammunition — firearms, pistols, rifles, air guns that fire, swords, daggers, knuckles, explosives, ammunition, gun parts, silencers, and any weapon or part of a weapon.
  • Drugs and controlled substances — narcotics, psychedelics, steroids, hormones, medical drugs, surgical drugs, CBD/Hemp products, and any substance prohibited under the NDPS Act, 1985.
  • Tobacco, nicotine and related products — cigarettes, bidis, cigars, gutka, pan masala, hookah products, e-cigarettes, vaping devices, nicotine pouches and e-liquids.
  • Alcohol and tobacco surrogates, including unsealed or untaxed liquor.
  • Counterfeit and replica goods — fake branded products, replicas of luxury labels, counterfeit documents, counterfeit currency, imitation designer wear, pirated software, films, music or textbooks, and bootleg or cracked software.
  • Stolen goods and goods with no provable ownership — including any vehicle, part or electronics without a valid bill of sale, invoice or RC.
  • Wildlife and protected species — any animal or plant listed in the Schedules of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, ivory, sandalwood, exotic hardwood, or any product derived from them.
  • Live animals for commercial trade — see section 11.
  • Human organs, tissues, blood and medical samples offered for sale.
  • Oversized / quadricycle / two-wheeler BS6 variants and any vehicle part that breaches RTO or motor vehicle certification rules.
  • Government and official items — police uniforms, government ID cards, ration cards, passports, voter ID cards, driving licences, seals, stamps and official records of any kind.
  • Surveillance and hacking tools — spyware, stalkerware, keyloggers, hidden camera devices, bugging equipment, hacked data, dumps of login credentials or card numbers.
  • Unofficial or deceptive financial products — guaranteed-return schemes, Ponzi schemes, pyramid / MLM recruitment, pyramid chains disguised as "income opportunities", loan offers from unlicensed entities, and any scheme whose main income comes from recruiting new members rather than from selling a real product.
  • Multi-level marketing and network marketing plans where recruitment commissions are the primary model.
  • Adult, pornographic, sexually explicit or nude content, and any sexual services.
  • Content that is hateful, defamatory, or incites violence, communal disharmony, or hatred against any community, caste, religion, gender, disability or nationality.
  • Content that infringes somebody else's intellectual property without permission.
  • Misleading or fraudulent job, internship, work-from-home or recruitment offers, including any that require a payment or a purchase to "start".
  • Prohibited drugs paraphernalia, and any product designed to inject, sniff, or consume a controlled substance.
  • Radioactive, hazardous, toxic, or environmentally unsafe materials without the licences required to handle them.
  • Anything seized, banned or restricted by any government authority, including items subject to import bans.
  • Products that mislead about their origin, certification, warranty or compliance marks (for example, falsely claiming BIS, ISI, CE or FSSAI certification).

Not permitted on BikeZap at all

  • Prescription-only or Schedule H/H1 medical products, over-the-counter medicines in repackaged form, medical claims or "miracle cure" advertisements.
  • Alcoholic beverages for sale or delivery.
  • Firearms, air guns and ammunition of any kind, including for sport and decoration.
  • Live food animals, poultry or fish sold for slaughter through the app.
  • Loan / credit / insurance products offered by unlicensed or unverified providers, and any "loan against bike" offer that requires an upfront fee.
  • Crypto, binary options, forex trading signals, betting, gambling, and paid gambling-related services.
  • Escort, dating, or companionship services.
  • Any service or product whose primary purpose is to obtain a user's phone number, OTP, password, card details, or KYC documents for a fraud. "KYC for loan", "verify your bank for cashback" and similar are fraud.

Restricted and high-risk — allowed only with care

  • Vehicles: you must have a valid RC book, insurance and, where applicable, a valid pollution certificate and number plate. Vehicles without papers, with tampered VIN or engine number, or suspected to be stolen are removed and may be reported.
  • Property: you must own the property or be the authorised agent/tenant. You must not list a property you are only brokering without disclosing that you are a broker.
  • Electronics: serial numbers and IMEI numbers must be genuine; stolen IMEIs are a police matter and we cooperate with law enforcement.
  • Second-hand goods: you must have a bill of sale or written handover record, and you must be able to produce it on request.
  • Parts and consumables: must be clearly described as original, compatible, or aftermarket. Do not pass off aftermarket parts as genuine OEM.

Lists of prohibited items also apply to the title, description, photos, tags, chat messages and comments of a listing. Removing the word from the title does not make it permissible.

8. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to, and not to allow anyone using your account to:

  • Give false or misleading information about yourself, your goods, your service, your qualifications or your availability.
  • Post content that is obscene, sexually suggestive, hateful, threatening, abusive, or that promotes hatred or discrimination of any kind.
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, impersonate, defame, or intimidate another user, or contact them to complain about content outside the platform in a way that crosses into harassment.
  • Commit fraud, forgery, phishing, or advance-fee scams. This includes the "fake buyer" scam, the overpayment-refund scam, fake screenshots of payments, and asking a seller to "verify" their card.
  • Request or collect an advance payment, deposit, booking amount or "reservation fee" for a transaction you cannot immediately complete.
  • Send unsolicited bulk messages, spam, or promotional blasts. Commercial promotion to strangers is not messaging, it is spam.
  • Harvest, scrape, crawl, or bulk-collect any part of BikeZap, or use bots, scrapers, spiders, or automated means to read, copy or download listings, reviews, photos, profiles or data.
  • Copy, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from the app, its name, logo, design, or source code.
  • Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark, watermark or proprietary notice.
  • Circumvent, disable or interfere with our moderation, rate limits, ad limits, or any technical measure we use to protect the platform.
  • Use automated systems to post listings, send messages, or create multiple accounts.
  • Access or attempt to access another user's account, data, chats or device.
  • Use BikeZap to store, transmit or distribute malware, or to send content that damages, overloads or disrupts the service.
  • Misrepresent your identity, age, location, or qualifications.
  • Impersonate BikeZap staff, a verified seller, or any other person or business.
  • Publish an event, show or performance using someone else's name, likeness or content without permission.
  • List a job, internship or course that discriminates on the basis of religion, caste, gender, disability, age, marital status, pregnancy or sexual orientation, or that requires any payment to participate.

9. How you communicate with other users

BikeZap chat is provided so that buyers and sellers can talk. It is a communication tool, not a payment tool, a contract, or an escrow.

  • Keep conversations on the record. A written record protects both parties if something goes wrong.
  • Do not share payment credentials, OTPs, PINs, passwords, bank details or card numbers with anyone, including someone claiming to be BikeZap staff. BikeZap never asks for your OTP, PIN or password.
  • Do not click links, download files, or scan QR codes sent by strangers.
  • Do not move a conversation to another app or platform to avoid our safety systems, and do not ask another user to do so.
  • Do not post another user's personal information, or use it for marketing.

10. Transactions, payments and money

BikeZap does not handle your money

We do not hold, escrow, guarantee, collect or disburse any payment between users. Prices you agree with another user are settled directly between you, by a method you both choose. BikeZap is not liable for that money.

  • BikeZap is not a party to your transaction. The contract for a sale, rental, lease, service or job is between you and the other user.
  • No guarantee of sale, rent, job, service or lead. We do not guarantee that a listing will sell, that a renter will return the item, that a job will be genuine, or that a service provider is competent.
  • BikeZap does not provide credit. We are not a lender, broker, financier or payment institution, and we are not registered as one. Any loan or financial arrangement is between you and a third party, at your own risk. Any listing promising credit must say who the lender is and that it is regulated.
  • No platform fees. BikeZap is free to use. We do not charge a verification fee, a listing fee, a subscription fee, a commission, or any cut of your sale price, and we do not sell advertising placements inside your listing. Payments are made directly between you and the other user.
  • Refunds. Because payments between users never pass through us, we cannot refund a payment another user collected from you. We can only help you reach them, and suspend a proven fraud account.
  • Taxes. You are responsible for any income tax, GST, TDS or other tax arising from what you earn through BikeZap, and for complying with Indian tax law. We may ask you for tax information where we are legally required to.
  • Payments must be made only to the person you are transacting with. Never pay a third-party account "on behalf" of a seller, and never accept payment into an account that does not belong to the person named on the listing.

11. Category-specific rules

Vehicles, two-wheelers and parts

Only list a vehicle or part you own or are authorised to sell. You must be able to produce the RC book, insurance, purchase invoice and, for a used vehicle, a valid pollution certificate. Engine and chassis numbers must not be altered, and the number plate must not be swapped. A handover must happen in person, with the papers and the keys, and both parties should photograph the odometer and the vehicle at handover. A proper sale or rental agreement in writing is strongly advised.

Property (rent, lease, sale)

You must own the property or be the owner, the owner's authorised agent, or a tenant offering to sublet with the owner's written consent. State clearly whether rent/lease is direct or whether you are a broker and what fee (if any) the owner pays you. BikeZap never collects rent, deposits, brokerage or token money — every rupee goes to the landlord, tenant or the declared broker, never to us. Do not demand a "booking" or "blocking" amount as a condition of showing a property.

Jobs, internships and courses

You must be a legitimate employer, recruiter, agency or registered training provider, and you must disclose who you are and which company you are hiring for. You must not require, accept or benefit from any payment — no registration fee, security deposit, training fee, "uniform fee", "kit fee" or "refundable" advance to process an application. Do not ask for sensitive personal data at the application stage beyond what a genuine hiring process needs. Do not discriminate. Do not recruit for unlicensed lending, gambling, adult content, MLM or pyramid schemes, or for any activity in section 7. If a role is "work from home" involving deposits, crypto deposits, task-based earnings, or bank card activity, treat it as a likely scam and do not post it. Off-platform coordination for interviews is fine, but never require payment to attend one.

Services

Describe what the service includes and what it does not. Provide a written or digital estimate that the customer can accept before work starts. BikeZap does not hold service deposits or advance payments. Do not demand full payment up front for work not yet done, and do not switch off an item midway to force extra payment. Licensed work (electrical, plumbing, gas, structural) must be done by a qualified professional.

Pets and animals

You may list pet accessories, food and equipment freely. For live animals, you must comply with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and all state rules, you must not sell wild-caught, protected, exotic, pregnant, nursing or unweaned animals, and you must not list an animal that requires a wild animal permit you do not hold. Live animal sales for commercial or breeding purposes are not supported on BikeZap. When meeting a seller, insist on vaccination records and a proper bill of sale. If an animal is delivered sick, injured or dies, report it to us and to your local veterinary authorities — we cannot adjudicate the sale, but we will remove fraudulent listings.

Electronics and mobile phones

  • IMEI and serial numbers must be genuine and must not be blocked or blacklisted. Stolen-device listings are a criminal offence and are removed and reported.
  • State clearly whether the device is new, sealed, refurbished or used, and describe the battery health and warranty honestly.
  • Do not sell counterfeit, grey-market-undeclared or "locked" devices as unlocked. Network-locked devices must be disclosed as locked.
  • Factory or brand warranty transfers only if the brand allows it. Say so plainly rather than implying coverage exists.
  • Before purchase, verify the IMEI on the brand's or the regulator's official site.

Books, education and stationery

Second-hand books are fine. Pirated textbooks, course material, question banks and study material for competitive examinations that infringe a copyright are prohibited, as are "notes" copied from paid or subscription platforms. You must have the right to sell the material you list.

Fashion, watches and jewellery

State clearly whether an item is branded original, replica, or unbranded. Listing replicas as originals is prohibited. For high-value jewellery, meet in a public place, verify identity, and get a written bill of sale with the buyer's ID recorded.

12. Ratings and reviews

  • Only rate or review a person or business you have actually interacted with as a counterparty on BikeZap.
  • Write what happened, honestly and specifically. No fake reviews, no incentivised reviews, no reviews written for or against competitors, no review bombing.
  • Do not include personal information about the person reviewed, no threats, no offensive content, and no claims you cannot support.
  • We may remove a review that is false, retaliatory, spam, or off-topic, and we may suspend accounts used for review manipulation.
  • Ratings are a user opinion, not a fact and not a guarantee. We do not verify every transaction or every review.

13. Content moderation, reporting and enforcement

Reporting

If you see a listing, message or user that breaks these terms or our Community Guidelines, report it from the listing or the chat screen inside the app, or email microuserme@gmail.com with the listing link or ID, what is wrong, and any supporting evidence.

How we respond

We review content and reports on a risk basis. Depending on what we find, we may:

  • Remove or hide a listing, or hide it from search results.
  • Require proof of ownership or identity before a listing or a verified badge is restored.
  • Issue a warning, restrict a feature such as verified status or listing limits, or limit the number of listings an account may post.
  • Suspend an account temporarily.
  • Terminate an account permanently, in cases such as a verified ban, sale of counterfeit goods, or a serious breach of these terms.
  • Preserve evidence and report the matter to law enforcement, to a platform, or to a regulatory or consumer-protection authority where the law requires it.

We may act without prior notice where the content is illegal, involves weapons, drugs, counterfeits, trafficking, child safety, hate speech, or an active scam. Where the law requires notice or a hearing, we will provide it.

Appeals

If your content or account was actioned, you can appeal once by emailing microuserme@gmail.com with the listing ID or account email and a short explanation. A different person from the original reviewer will consider the appeal wherever possible, and we will respond within 15 working days.

14. Suspension and termination

You may close your account and delete your data at any time — see Account & Data Deletion.

We may suspend or terminate your account, and delete or restrict your listings, if you:

  • Breach these terms or the Community Guidelines, whether or not it caused harm.
  • Are repeatedly reported and the reports are substantiated.
  • Engage in fraud, scams, harassment, or illegal activity.
  • Provide false identity, ownership, or registration information.
  • Infringe intellectual property rights of another party.
  • Are a minor, or are acting for someone who is.
  • Fail to comply with a lawful order from a competent authority.

Where it is fair and lawful to do so, we will tell you why and give you a chance to fix the problem before terminating a dormant or first-offence account. Some breaches — listed in section 13 — are not curable.

15. Licence you give us for your content

You keep ownership of everything you post. By posting it on BikeZap, you give BikeZap a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, back up, transmit, display, resize, crop, compress and make your content available to other users and to search engines only to the extent needed to operate and display the service — for example, showing your listing to someone browsing the marketplace and generating thumbnails.

  • This licence ends for a given item when you delete it, except that copies already stored in routine backups may persist until they age out.
  • You confirm that you have the right to post the content, and that posting it does not infringe anyone else's rights.
  • You grant us permission to display your public profile information (name, photo, city, member-since date, ratings) alongside your listings, as every marketplace does.
  • You keep the right to use your own photos and text elsewhere.

16. Our intellectual property

The BikeZap name, wordmark, logo, app icon, user interface, design, layout, code, database design, and all associated intellectual property belong to Abhay Soni. Nothing in these terms transfers that ownership to you.

You may not copy, modify, create derivative works of, publish, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, sublicense, sell, or commercially exploit any part of BikeZap or its intellectual property, or use our brand or logo in a way that suggests endorsement or partnership, without our prior written permission. Vehicle brand names and logos that appear in the app belong to their respective manufacturers and are used for identification only.

17. Third-party services

BikeZap relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase, Google AdMob, Supabase, Cloudinary, and map and tile services such as OpenStreetMap. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not by these terms. If a third-party service is unavailable, we may be unable to provide a feature. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party services or of any website you reach from a listing.

18. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BikeZap and its operator provide the service, the app and all content "as is" and "as available", with no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including:

  • No warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always available.
  • No warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
  • No warranty about any listing, seller, buyer, item, vehicle, property, service, employer or job. We do not verify the truth of listings beyond the review described in section 6.
  • No warranty of fitness or safety for any purpose, including fitness to ride, roadworthiness, structural safety, or suitability of any item for a child, pet or vehicle.
  • No professional advice. Nothing in the app or on these pages is legal, financial, tax, medical, safety or investment advice.
  • Content is generated by users. It may be inaccurate, misleading, offensive or unlawful, and it may not represent our views.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded, including your statutory rights as a consumer under Indian consumer protection law.

19. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Abhay Soni and BikeZap are not liable for:

  • Any loss or damage arising from a transaction, conversation, or interaction between you and another user.
  • Any act or omission of another user, including fraud, deception, non-performance, or insolvency.
  • The existence, quality, condition, safety, authenticity, legality, or fitness of any item, vehicle, property, service, or advertisement.
  • Any accident, injury, illness, or death, whether to you, a buyer, a renter, a bystander, or an animal.
  • Theft of, or damage to, a vehicle, item or property during a rental, viewing, test ride, delivery or handover.
  • Any payment, advance, deposit or rental fee paid to another user, and any loss of that money.
  • Any outcome of a job application, hiring decision, or course enrolment.
  • Infringement of intellectual property rights by user content.
  • Failure, outage, or unavailability of a third-party service, including Firebase, Google, AdMob, Supabase, Cloudinary or a map provider.
  • Data loss or account compromise to the extent it results from your negligence, a weak device password, or you sharing your credentials.
  • Loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, or any indirect or consequential loss.
  • The app being unavailable on a particular device or network.

Aggregate liability cap: where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for all claims arising in any twelve-month period is limited to INR 1,000, or the total amount you paid us in that period, whichever is higher. This cap does not apply where applicable law prohibits it, in particular to fraud, wilful misconduct, or any liability under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 that cannot be limited.

20. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Abhay Soni and BikeZap against any claim, demand, loss, damage, penalty, or reasonable legal cost arising from: your content; your breach of these terms or the Community Guidelines; your violation of any law or of a third party's rights; your dealings with another user; or your use of a third-party service you contacted through a listing. This obligation survives deletion of your account.

21. Security

We use industry-standard measures — encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege database rules, and monitoring — to protect the platform. No system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for protecting your own device, your Google account, and your login credentials. Please report any suspected security issue to microuserme@gmail.com; we will not pursue action against a researcher who acts in good faith, avoids privacy violations and service disruption, and gives us reasonable time to fix an issue.

22. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and how to exercise your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. That policy is incorporated into these terms by reference.

23. Advertising

BikeZap is supported by advertising, including ads served by Google AdMob. Advertisements are selected by third-party networks and are not endorsements by BikeZap. We do not control the content of third-party ads, and we are not liable for it. Ads that you interact with are between you and the advertiser; we may remove advertisers at our discretion.

24. Suspension of the service

We may suspend or withdraw all or part of BikeZap, temporarily or permanently, for maintenance, upgrades, security reasons, legal or regulatory orders, non-payment, or if continuing would be unlawful or unsafe. Where the suspension is not for your breach, we will tell you and restore access as soon as reasonably practicable.

25. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to the dispute process in section 26, the courts at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or your use of BikeZap. If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection of mandatory consumer forums or courts in your area.

26. Complaints and grievance redressal

If you are unhappy with BikeZap, with a listing, or with how we handled a complaint, please contact us first. Most issues are resolved by email.

Grievance Officer — Abhay Soni

Email: microuserme@gmail.com  ·  Phone / WhatsApp: +91 78978 97500
Address: Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India  ·  Response time: acknowledged within 48 hours, resolved within 30 days
Support hours: Monday–Saturday, 10:00–19:00 IST

We aim to acknowledge every complaint within two working days and to resolve it within thirty days. If a complaint concerns an active rental, an ongoing payment dispute, a safety issue, or illegal content, we will prioritise it and, where appropriate, restrict the listing or account while it is investigated.

You may also raise a complaint before the National Consumer Helpline (1915) or the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (ncdrc.nic.in) if you are not satisfied with our response.

27. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect new features, a change in law, or feedback from users. The "Effective date" at the top tells you when the current version took effect. If a change is material and reduces your rights, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use BikeZap after the change means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, you can delete your account.

28. General

  • Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy, the Community Guidelines and any feature-specific terms form the entire agreement between you and BikeZap and replace any earlier statement about the subject matter.
  • No waiver. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
  • Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain in force.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them as part of a merger, reorganisation, or sale of the business, and we will give you notice.
  • No partnership. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, employment, fiduciary or joint-venture relationship between you and BikeZap.
  • Notices. Notices to you are sent through the app, to your registered email, or to your phone number.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics, war, civil unrest, government action, or failure of third-party infrastructure.
  • Language. If a translation of these terms differs from the English version, the English version prevails. Both are published on this page.
  • Versions. BikeZap is offered on Android. These terms apply to the app and to this website.
