Terms of Service

1.1These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or the "User") and World of Bikers FZE, a free zone establishment registered in Sharjah Publishing City, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates ("WoB", "we", "us" or "our").

1.2They apply to your use of the World of Bikers website at worldofbikers.org (the "Website"), the World of Bikers mobile application, including the Ride Tracker (the "App"), and the services offered through them (together, the "Services"): membership, Long Distance Rider ("LDR") certification, the WoB Shop, the WoB Marketplace, WoB Pro, WoB Miles, ride and event registration, and the community features.

1.3By creating an account, registering for a ride or otherwise using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, our Returns & Refunds Policy and our Community Guidelines, which form part of this agreement. If you do not accept them, you must not use the Services.

2.1You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to create an account or buy from us. A younger person may only take part in a ride or event with the written consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on their behalf.

2.2You must give accurate, complete and current information, and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity on your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use.

2.3New profiles are reviewed and approved by WoB. We may refuse, suspend or close an account, with or without notice, where we reasonably believe that these Terms, the Community Guidelines or the law have been breached, or that the account has been used fraudulently.

2.4You may close your account at any time from the App settings or by contacting us. Closing an account does not cancel any amount already owed or any order already placed.

3.1You must use the Services lawfully and in line with the Community Guidelines. You must not post or send content that is unlawful, defamatory, abusive, hateful, misleading or that infringes anyone's rights, and you must not harass other members.

3.2You must not interfere with the Services or try to gain unauthorised access to them, copy or scrape them at scale, falsify GPS or ride data, use them to send spam, or use them for any purpose other than their intended personal, non-commercial use (apart from sellers using the Marketplace as set out in these Terms).

3.3We may remove content or listings and take action against accounts that breach this section. We are not obliged to monitor content, but we may do so.

4.1An LDR certificate is awarded only after the ride has been recorded through the App, submitted and reviewed by WoB, and the applicable certification fee has been paid. Whether a ride meets the requirements of a level is decided by WoB acting reasonably, and that decision is final.

4.2You must ride lawfully and safely, and record and submit your ride honestly. Altering route or distance data, or submitting a ride you did not complete, entitles us to refuse or withdraw the certificate and to close your account, without refund.

4.3Certification fees and certificates are digital products. Once a certificate has been issued, the fee is not refundable, except where the law requires otherwise. A fee paid for a ride that is refused for reasons that are our fault will be refunded.

4.4The LDR level and rules, and the fees, may be changed for future rides. A certificate attests only that the recorded ride met the stated requirements. It is not a driving qualification or an endorsement of your riding.

5.1Prices are shown in United Arab Emirates dirhams (AED) unless stated otherwise, and include or exclude value added tax as stated at checkout. Delivery charges, any discount and the final total are shown before you confirm your order.

5.2Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider. We do not store your full card details. By paying, you confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method.

5.3A contract for a purchase is formed when we confirm your order. We may cancel or refuse an order, for example if an item is unavailable, a price or description was shown in error, or we suspect fraud. If we cancel an order after you have paid, we will refund the amount you paid.

5.4Discount codes and WoB Miles redemptions are subject to the conditions shown with them, may not be combined unless stated, and have no cash value.

6.1The WoB Shop sells merchandise supplied by WoB. Colours and sizes are shown as accurately as we can, but screens vary. Delivery options, charges and estimated times are shown at checkout, and free collection may be available from our Dubai collection point.

6.2Returns, exchanges and refunds are governed by our Returns & Refunds Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Nothing in these Terms removes any right you have as a consumer under applicable UAE law.

7.1The WoB Marketplace is a platform on which members can list items and contact other members. WoB is an intermediary only. A sale through the Marketplace is a contract solely between the buyer and the seller, and WoB is not a party to it and does not own, inspect, guarantee or take responsibility for the items listed.

7.2Sellers must be entitled to sell the items, must describe them accurately and honestly, and must comply with applicable law. Buyers should inspect items before paying. Members deal with each other at their own risk.

7.3Paid options, such as boosting a listing, are shown with their price before you pay and are not refundable once the listing has been boosted, unless the law requires otherwise. We may refuse, edit or remove listings and suspend sellers who break these Terms or the Community Guidelines.

8.1WoB Pro is an optional paid plan. Its price, length and features are shown before you buy. Unless a plan is stated to renew automatically, it ends at the end of its period. We may change the features of a plan for future periods.

8.2WoB Miles are loyalty points earned for distance recorded with the Ride Tracker. They are not money, have no cash value, cannot be sold, exchanged or transferred, and can only be used in the ways we make available, such as towards purchases in the WoB Shop or on WoB Pro.

8.3We may change how Miles are earned, valued and redeemed, and we may correct or remove Miles that were credited by mistake, obtained through misuse or fraud, or that belong to a closed account.

9.1Motorcycling is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. By taking part in any ride, event or activity connected with WoB, you confirm that you understand and voluntarily accept these risks.

9.2You are solely responsible for your riding, your motorcycle and its roadworthiness, your driving licence, your insurance, your protective gear and your compliance with UAE road traffic law and the safety rules of the ride. The ride leaders and WoB volunteers give guidance, but they are not responsible for your safety.

9.3To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release WoB, its owners, officers, employees, volunteers and sponsors from claims for loss, injury or damage arising from your participation, except where the loss is caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct or where liability cannot be excluded by law.

9.4Registering for a ride does not guarantee a place. We may change, postpone or cancel a ride, for example because of weather, safety or lack of participants, and we may remove anyone whose conduct puts others at risk.

9.5If you register for a ride, you confirm that the emergency contact, blood group and other details you give are accurate. We may share them with ride marshals and emergency services if needed.

10.1The Ride Tracker records your route, distance and speed while a ride is in progress, including while the App is in the background or the screen is off. You choose when to start and stop a ride. If you use group rides or Live Location, your position is shared with the members of that group or with the people you send your link to, for as long as you share it.

10.2We handle personal data in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable UAE data protection law. You are responsible for deciding with whom you share your Live Location link.

10.3The Ride Tracker and its routes and maps are provided for information. They may be inaccurate or unavailable, and you must not rely on them as your only means of navigation or for your safety. You must not use the App while riding in a way that is distracting or unlawful.

11.1You keep the ownership of the photos, listings, comments and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant WoB a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce and adapt your User Content to operate and promote the Services, including on our website, App and social media, for as long as it remains on your account and for a reasonable time afterwards for backups and records.

11.2You confirm that you own, or have the right to give us, the User Content, and that it does not breach the law or anyone's rights.

11.3The Services, including the World of Bikers name, logos, designs, software, text and other materials, belong to WoB or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms give you only a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Services. You must not use our brand without our written permission.

12.1The Services use third-party services, such as payment processing, maps and place search, messaging and email. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them. We are not responsible for third-party services or for websites we link to.

13.1The Services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, WoB gives no warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, and excludes all warranties that are not expressly stated in these Terms.

13.2Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

14.1To the fullest extent permitted by law, WoB will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or loss of data, or for any loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you accepted these Terms.

14.2To the fullest extent permitted by law, WoB's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Services is limited to the amount you paid to WoB in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

14.3WoB is not liable for the acts or omissions of members, sellers, buyers, ride participants or other third parties.

14.4Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

15.1You agree to compensate WoB for any loss, claim, damage and reasonable legal costs that arise from your breach of these Terms, your unlawful use of the Services, your User Content, or your dealings with other members, except to the extent that the loss was caused by WoB.

16.1We may suspend or end your access to the Services at any time if you breach these Terms or the law, or if we have to do so for legal or security reasons. We may also stop offering a Service, and where we do so we will give reasonable notice where we can and refund any pre-paid amount for the part of the Service that you did not receive.

16.2Clauses that by their nature should continue after the Terms end, including those on payment, content licence, risk, liability, indemnity and governing law, will continue.

17.1We may update these Terms from time to time, for example for legal, security or service changes. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last updated. If a change is material, we will tell you in the App, on the Website or by email. If you continue to use the Services after the change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, you must stop using the Services.

18.1These Terms, with the documents they refer to, are the whole agreement between you and WoB about the Services and replace earlier understandings.

18.2If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest will continue to apply. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not give it up.

18.3You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours to a successor of the business.

18.4We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, power or internet failure, government action and acts of third parties.

18.5Notices to you may be sent to the email address on your account or shown in the App or on the Website. Notices to us must be sent to the contact details in clause 20.

19.1These Terms and any dispute connected with them are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Sharjah and the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied there.

19.2If you have a complaint, please contact us first. We will try in good faith to settle any dispute amicably within 30 days of receiving your written complaint.

19.3If a dispute is not settled in that time, the competent courts of the Emirate of Sharjah have exclusive jurisdiction, without affecting any right you have as a consumer to bring a claim before another competent court or authority.
