PROFESSIONALISM & RESPECT
PickMe maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding all forms of discrimination, harassment or abuse.

Non-discrimination
It is unacceptable to refuse to provide or accept services based on a person’s race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable Sri Lankan law. This type of behavior can result in permanent loss of access to the PickMe platform.

No inappropriate behavior
Passengers and drivers expect each other to act appropriately and respect boundaries. It is disrespectful to make derogatory remarks about a person or group. Furthermore, commenting on appearance, asking overly personal questions and making unwanted physical contact are all considered inappropriate behaviors. Anyone who solicits or engages in sexual conduct while using the PickMe platform may lose future access to PickMe. We encourage you to be mindful of other users’ privacy and personal space. Violence of any kind will not be tolerated.

Human Kindness
Calm and clear communication is the most effective way to defuse any disagreement that may arise between you and Driver. All Passengers and drivers expect to be treated with respect and courtesy by one another. This expectation extends to personal property as well. As a Passenger, it is your responsibility to treat your driver’s vehicle with respect and not intentionally damage or remove their personal items from it. As a driver-partner, it is your responsibility to make every reasonable effort to return any lost items in your vehicle. It is best to treat a lost item respectfully. It is unacceptable to require additional payment to return an item; doing so could cause you to lose access to the PickMe platform.

SAFETY
The safety of Passengers and drivers on the PickMe platform is of utmost concern. In order to best protect everyone in the vehicle, we require the following:

Compliance with the law
Illegal substances and - unless explicitly allowed by law - open containers of alcohol are not permitted in drivers’ vehicles. This is against the law and a serious violation of PickMe’s policy. Furthermore, PickMe does not tolerate drug or alcohol use by drivers while using the PickMe app. If Passenger believes a driver may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, please request that the driver end the trip immediately and inform PickMe.and also Driver has discretion to give transportation to a Passenger under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

PickMe prohibits human trafficking of any kind, including the commercial sexual exploitation of children, while using our app. Anyone who engages in such activity may lose access to PickMe. As a driver, it is your responsibility to transport Passengers safely in accordance with the rules of the road in your city. Driving when you're drowsy can cause accidents. So if you ever feel tired, take a break. And remember that according to the experts “sleep is the only true preventative measure against the risks of drowsy driving”. As a Passenger, it is your responsibility to abide by the seat belt laws in your state(When required).

Disabilities
PickMe expects compliance with all Sri Lankan laws governing the transportation of riders with disabilities. However Driver has a sole discretion to refuse to give transportation to the Passenger with an animal.

Following the rules
Violations of this Terms and could result in loss of your PickMe Account. Please report any violations to PickMe, we want to hear your feedback! Alert us and we’ll take action!
