Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Ride-Georgia. By using our platform, you agree to these terms in full.

1. Entity Status

Ride-Georgia is operated by a Virtual Zone IT Company registered under Georgian law (§24⁵ of the Tax Code of Georgia). Our core service is the provision of an IT Platform Matching Service — connecting verified independent drivers with travelers through software.

2. Service Classification & VAT

Ride-Georgia is not a transportation company. The platform fee (20%) constitutes payment for an IT-mediated brokerage service. As this service is rendered to non-resident travelers and constitutes an export of IT services, it is subject to 0% VAT in accordance with Georgian Tax Code Art. 164.

Invoices issued by Ride-Georgia will reflect: Service: IT Platform Matching Service · Tax: 0% VAT (Non-resident) · Entity: Virtual Zone Person.

3. Payment Structure (20% Booking Fee)

Booking a trip requires an upfront 20% Platform Service Fee collected online via Bank of Georgia (BOG) iPay. This is Ride-Georgia's fee for the matching service — it is non-refundable once a driver is assigned.

The remaining 80% of the trip price is paid directly to the driver upon completion of the journey.

4. Cash Payment — Agency Authorization

When selecting cash payment (100% paid to driver), you expressly authorize the driver to act as Ride-Georgia's collecting agent for the 20% platform fee included within the total cash amount. The driver, as Agent (Incashing Agent), transmits this fee to Ride-Georgia through the automated balance deduction system. This arrangement constitutes a valid agency relationship under Georgian Civil Code Art. 99–106.

An invoice reflecting this agency collection will be issued automatically and constitutes proof of payment of the platform service fee.

5. Driver Agreement

Drivers operating on this platform are bound by a separate Driver Agreement, which governs the agency relationship, deposit obligations, and commission deduction mechanics.
