Khalasi Terms and Conditions

Effective and last updated: September 12, 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern use of the Khalasi mobile application and related web pages. By using Khalasi, you agree to these terms and the Khalasi Privacy Policy.

Safety comes first: Khalasi provides location and route information for convenience. Do not operate the app while driving, and do not rely on it as the only source for travel or safety decisions.

1. Who may use Khalasi

You must be at least 13 years old to use Khalasi. If local law requires parental or guardian consent at a higher age, you may use the service only with that consent. A person sharing a vehicle must have permission from the driver or vehicle owner to share its details and location.

2. What the service provides

Khalasi helps drivers and conductors (khalasis) share a vehicle's current location and helps passengers find active public vehicles. Features may include vehicle and route search, nearby-vehicle filtering, live maps, approximate arrival information, local favorites, usage alerts, and user-requested share links.

Khalasi is an information platform. It does not operate vehicles, sell tickets, set fares, employ drivers, guarantee seats, arrange transportation contracts, or control a vehicle's route, condition, schedule, or conduct.

3. Driver location sharing

Location sharing starts only after the driver or khalasi enters the required information, accepts the disclosure, and chooses Start Sharing.
While active, vehicle details, route information, latest precise location, and update time are visible to passengers.
On supported Android devices, sharing may continue while Khalasi is in the background or the phone is locked. An ongoing Android notification indicates that sharing is active.
The person who started sharing is responsible for stopping it when the trip or shift ends and for keeping the device charged, connected, and positioned to receive location signals.
A network outage, device shutdown, forced closure, disabled permission, or operating-system restriction may delay location updates or deletion of the live record.

4. Accuracy and travel decisions

Locations, distance, movement direction, freshness labels, and estimated arrival times are approximate. They can be wrong or delayed because of GPS accuracy, the driver's update interval, network conditions, map data, traffic, route changes, stops, or device settings. An estimate does not guarantee that a vehicle is approaching, will stop, has available seats, follows the displayed route, or will arrive at a stated time.

Passengers should verify the vehicle, route, destination, fare, and boarding location directly. Always follow traffic rules and use ordinary care near roads and moving vehicles.

5. Your information and responsibilities

You are responsible for information you enter or share through Khalasi. You agree to provide information you reasonably believe is accurate and current and to correct it when it changes. Do not enter another person's private information or impersonate a driver, vehicle owner, transport company, or public authority.

You grant Khalasi a limited, non-exclusive permission to host, process, display, and transmit the vehicle, route, and location information you provide only as needed to operate, secure, and improve the service. This permission ends when the relevant data is deleted, except for aggregate operational records and information Khalasi must retain by law.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

submit false vehicle locations, routes, identities, or availability;
track, harass, threaten, deceive, or endanger another person;
use automated tools to scrape, copy, overload, reverse engineer, or disrupt the service;
bypass security controls or attempt unauthorized access to Firebase, another user's data, or app systems;
use Khalasi for an unlawful purpose or violate another person's rights; or
share harmful links, malware, spam, or misleading content.

7. Third-party services

Khalasi relies on third-party services, including Firebase, device location services, Photon, OpenStreetMap, Leaflet, and Android system features. Their availability, content, and handling of requests are controlled by their respective providers and may change. Map data may be incomplete or outdated. Use of third-party services may also be subject to their terms and privacy practices.

8. Service availability and changes

Khalasi may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue a feature to maintain security, comply with law, manage technical or financial limits, or improve the service. Free hosting, database, mapping, or other service limits may affect availability. Khalasi does not promise continuous, error-free, or permanent access.

9. Intellectual property

Khalasi's application code, design, branding, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party names, maps, libraries, and marks belong to their respective owners. These terms do not transfer ownership to users.

10. Suspension or termination

Khalasi may restrict or terminate access when reasonably necessary to address misuse, false data, security threats, legal requirements, or repeated violations of these terms. You may stop using Khalasi at any time and may request deletion as described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, Khalasi is provided "as is" and "as available." Khalasi makes no warranty that data will always be accurate, current, available, or suitable for a particular trip. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or warranties that applicable consumer law does not allow to be excluded.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Khalasi and its operator are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising from inaccurate locations, missed vehicles, route or fare disputes, service interruption, device or network failure, third-party conduct, or a user's unsafe or unauthorized use. Any liability that cannot legally be excluded remains limited only as permitted by applicable law.

13. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated when Khalasi's features, providers, or legal obligations change. The revised terms will show a new effective date. Continued use after the updated terms become effective means you accept them, where permitted by law.
