17. Legal Entity Notice

MOOVA is operated by Wheelz Connect Booking Service, a duly registered sole proprietorship under Philippine law. All agreements, payments, and obligations under these Terms are legally binding on Wheelz Connect Booking Service as the operator of MOOVA.

18. Location (GPS) Tracking

IMPORTANT

When

With your explicit device/app permission, MOOVA and/or host telematics may collect precise location data only during an active rental (from "Start trip"/handover until end/return). Limited background collection may occur only while the trip is active.

Why

Safety and security, roadside assistance, theft recovery, fair usage/fee calculations, and dispute resolution (e.g., pick-up/drop-off verification).

Who Can Access

The host (for their vehicle) during the active rental, and authorised MOOVA staff only as needed for support, safety, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

Your Control

You may withhold or withdraw permission at any time in device settings; however, certain services (e.g., self-drive rentals that require tracking) may be unavailable without location permission.

Data Handling

Collection, retention, and user rights are further described in the Privacy Policy.

19. Vehicle Damage, Cleaning, Tolls & Fines

Damage

Renters are responsible for damage occurring during the rental, excluding fair wear and tear.

Cleaning/Smoking

Hosts may charge reasonable cleaning or smoking fees if disclosed in the listing and evidenced.

Tolls/Fines/Penalties

Renters authorise MOOVA to process tolls, traffic/parking fines, and related administrative fees when records are provided by authorities/hosts.

Reporting

Incidents must be reported to the host and, if applicable, local authorities and MOOVA Support without delay.

20. Insurance & Compliance

Host Insurance

Hosts are responsible for ensuring vehicles carry insurance appropriate for rental/peer-to-peer hire in their jurisdiction and for disclosing any limitations.

Renter Eligibility

Renters must meet age/licensing/experience requirements and any insurer criteria.

No Guarantee

Unless expressly stated for a specific product, MOOVA does not provide insurance coverage and does not guarantee claim outcomes.

21. Platform Role; Third-Party Services

Marketplace

MOOVA primarily operates as a marketplace/technology platform enabling hosts and renters to contract. Except where MOOVA expressly provides a service itself, MOOVA is not the lessor or carrier and is not a party to rental agreements.

Third-Party Services

The Platform may integrate third-party identity verification, mapping, payments, messaging, and analytics. Your use of such services may be governed by separate terms. MOOVA is not responsible for third-party content or services.

Additional Terms
