Bolt Plus is an automatically renewing service charged monthly or yearly depending on your subscription model. You can cancel your Bolt Plus benefits following rules in Section 3 below.

Bolt Plus is a paid subscription service provided by Bolt to its users (“Bolt Plus subscription”). It allows users to benefit from discounted ride hailing services as well as other ancillary benefits intended to promote usage of Bolt Plus subscription and Bolt’s platform (collectively called “Benefits”). Benefits may be related to services provided by Bolt as well as by the providers of transport services, in which case your ability to use Benefits will always be subject to availability of relevant transport services provided by third parties as well as confirmation of a service request you make through Bolt Platform.

Bolt Plus Benefits as well as other terms and relevant details, like conditions on where and when Benefits can be used, subscription fee, term and recurring billing interval will always be available for you under your Profile section in the Bolt App. Please always review Benefits and any further conditions on your Bolt App before subscribing. Also, please note that Benefits are always subject to change so please do always check current details in your Bolt App. You can do that by going to the Profile section in the Bolt App to find all the details as well as to manage your ongoing Bolt Plus subscription.

2.Duration and Charges

You will be charged Bolt Plus subscription fee when you make a purchase on Bolt App (hereinafter “Subscription Fee”). This will be an automatically recurring subscription, meaning that you will be charged Subscription Fee again at the moment the subscription renews. Bolt Plus subscription auto-renewal moment depends on the date of your initial purchase as well as on whether you have chosen a monthly or a yearly subscription.

When purchasing Bolt Plus subscription you do authorise Bolt and/or its affiliates to charge Subscription Fee to your selected payment method at the start of your subscription period as well as for each subsequent billing cycle at the moment of auto-renewal, until you cancel your Bolt Plus subscription (see sections 3 and 8 for details). Affiliates within the meaning of these Terms are companies in which a majority ownership interest is held by Bolt and companies which hold a majority of the ownership interest of Bolt, companies controlled by Bolt and companies controlling Bolt, companies of Bolt’s group, Bolt’s cross-shareholding companies, or parties to an inter-company agreement with Bolt. Recurring payments will be charged to the same payment method you have selected when subscribing for Bolt Plus subscription for the first time, unless you have changed the payment method for Bolt Plus subscription. Bolt Balance Terms and Conditions may apply to your Bolt Plus subscription. Bolt is not responsible for any card payment and any overdraft fees you may incur. In addition, you authorise Bolt to charge any payment method associated with your Bolt account in case your primary payment method is declined or no longer available to Bolt for payment of your Subscription Fee. Please note that in case your payment methods available in the Bolt App are declined or payments fail in other ways, Bolt is authorised to cancel your Bolt Plus subscription and your Benefits will expire at the end of a billing cycle.

We will always notify you about upcoming auto-renewal in advance - normally seven calendar days in advance of the start of the next billing cycle. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, such notice will be sent no later than 30 calendar days in advance if you have chosen a yearly subscription.

You can always find your Bolt Plus subscription details including information about auto-renewal and next billing cycle in your Bolt app by going to the Profile section in the Bolt App. You will also be able to cancel your Bolt Plus subscription there or via model withdrawal form under section 8 if canceled within the initial right of withdrawal period as described in section 3.

In case offered Benefits significantly change and/or Subscription Fee increases - we will notify you about this in advance of the next auto-renewal.

Bolt Plus Subscription Fee is inclusive of the VAT. You will always see Subscription Fee breakdown in the relevant payment receipts from Bolt. A receipt will be sent to you each time your Bolt Plus subscription renews.

3.Canceling Bolt Plus Subscription

You may cancel your Bolt Plus subscription in your Bolt App (Profile -> Manage Subscription -> Cancel Subscription) up to 24 hours prior to the end of the billing cycle (which you can always see in your Bolt App) to make sure that your Bolt Plus subscription does not auto-renew. If you want to cancel your Bolt Plus subscription later than 24 hours prior to the next billing cycle - please contact our customer support team (via the Support section of your Bolt App). In such case, you do not have a right to end the contract, but Bolt will try to find an acceptable solution for you.

Please note that when you cancel your ongoing Bolt Plus subscription - the termination becomes effective at the end of the billing cycle and you will continue having access to your Bolt Plus Benefits until the end of the current billing cycle and the auto-renewal will not occur until you re-subscribe again. Please also note that Subscription Fee is non-refundable, meaning cancellation of your ongoing Bolt Plus subscription will not result in any refunds from Bolt to you, except for cancellations during the initial right of withdrawal period as described below. Should you be entitled to a refund, Bolt will make the refund to your Bolt Balance account.
