- We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the Platform at least thirty (30) days before the effective date. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
- These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Cancellation & Refund Policy, and (for Service Providers) the Service Provider Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and BuraqWash LLC.
2. Eligibility

- BuraqWash reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel bookings at our sole discretion if we suspect fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity.
3. Platform Description
- BuraqWash is a technology platform that connects customers with independent professional car washers and home cleaners ("Service Providers"). BuraqWash does not itself perform car washing, detailing or cleaning services.
- Service Providers are independent contractors — they are not employees, agents or representatives of BuraqWash. BuraqWash facilitates the connection, booking and payment between customers and Service Providers.
- While we vet Service Providers through background checks, identity verification and quality reviews, BuraqWash does not guarantee the outcome, quality or timeliness of any particular service.
4. Account Registration
- To use BuraqWash, you must create an account using a valid email address and phone number or through a supported social login (e.g., Google).
- You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at support@buraqwash.com of any unauthorised access or use of your account.
- BuraqWash will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to secure your account. One person may maintain only one active customer account.
5. Bookings
- When you place a booking through BuraqWash, you are entering into a direct service agreement with the assigned Service Provider. BuraqWash acts as an intermediary to facilitate this transaction.
- You must provide accurate and complete information for your booking, including: vehicle details (make, model, colour), service location, property access details (for home cleaning), and any special instructions.
- Instant Bookings are confirmed immediately and a Service Provider is assigned as soon as one is available. Scheduled Bookings are confirmed at least two (2) hours before your selected date and time.
- We reserve the right to cancel or suspend bookings made with fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading information. Repeated false bookings may result in permanent account suspension.
6. Pricing, Fees & Payment
- All prices are displayed in US Dollars (USD) and are inclusive of the service cost. A transparent Platform Service Fee of $4.99 is applied to each booking and is shown separately at checkout.
- Payment is processed securely through Stripe. We accept major credit/debit cards. Cash payment may be available in select markets.
- The price displayed at the time of booking is the price you pay — prices will not increase after confirmation. However, we reserve the right to update pricing for future bookings at any time.
- Tips are optional and 100% of tips go directly to the Service Provider.
- If a payment fails, we will attempt to notify you and may suspend your booking until payment is resolved. Unpaid balances may be sent to collections.
7. BW Prime Membership
- BuraqWash offers a premium membership programme called BW Prime with three tiers: Gold (10% off all bookings, 1 complimentary wash per month), Platinum (15% off, 2 complimentary washes per month), and Diamond (20% off, unlimited complimentary washes, VIP priority scheduling).
- BW Prime memberships are billed monthly on a recurring basis. By subscribing, you authorise BuraqWash to charge your payment method each billing cycle until you cancel.
- You may cancel your BW Prime membership at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds will be issued for unused days.
- Complimentary washes included in your membership are non-transferable, cannot be redeemed for cash, and expire at the end of each billing cycle (they do not roll over).
- BuraqWash reserves the right to modify membership pricing, benefits or tiers with thirty (30) days' advance notice. You may cancel before the changes take effect if you do not agree.

- Late Cancellation Fee: Cancellations made between thirty (30) minutes and two (2) hours before the scheduled time incur a $15 cancellation fee.
- No-Show / Last-Minute Cancellation: Cancellations made less than thirty (30) minutes before the scheduled time, or if you are not available when the Service Provider arrives, will be charged the full service amount.
- Service Provider Cancellation: If a Service Provider cancels your booking, you will receive a full refund or priority rebooking at no additional cost.

9. Service Quality Disputes
- BuraqWash is a technology platform that facilitates connections between customers and independent Service Providers. BuraqWash does not perform, guarantee or warrant the quality, outcome or timeliness of any service. All services are provided solely by independent Service Providers.
- If you are dissatisfied with the quality of a car wash or home cleaning, you may report the issue through the Platform within twenty-four (24) hours of service completion. BuraqWash will facilitate communication between you and the Service Provider to attempt resolution.
- The Service Provider is solely responsible for the quality of their work. Any re-service, compensation or refund is the obligation of the Service Provider, not BuraqWash. BuraqWash may, at its sole discretion, facilitate a resolution but is under no obligation to provide financial compensation.
- Quality dispute reports must include: your booking ID, a description of the issue, and photographic evidence where applicable.
- BuraqWash reserves the right to take action against Service Providers who consistently receive quality complaints, including suspension or permanent deactivation from the Platform.
10. Damage & Liability

All Service Providers are independent contractors who are solely responsible for their own actions, negligence and the consequences of their work.
- All Service Providers on BuraqWash are required to maintain their own general liability insurance as a condition of using the Platform. Any damage claim must be directed to the Service Provider and/or their insurance carrier.
- BuraqWash may, at its sole discretion, facilitate communication between you and the Service Provider to help resolve a damage dispute, but BuraqWash has no obligation to compensate, reimburse or pay for any damage.
- To report damage, you must: (a) notify us within two (2) hours of service completion; (b) provide photographic or video evidence of the damage; (c) provide evidence of the item's condition before the service (where available); and (d) cooperate with any investigation.
- BuraqWash reserves the right to suspend or deactivate Service Providers who are the subject of verified damage claims. This action does not create any financial liability for BuraqWash.
- BuraqWash expressly disclaims all liability for: property damage, vehicle damage, personal injury, lost or stolen items, pre-existing damage, and any consequential, indirect or incidental damages arising from services performed by Service Providers.
11. User Responsibilities

- (e) Not use the Platform for any illegal, fraudulent or unauthorised purpose.
- (f) Not attempt to circumvent the Platform by engaging Service Providers directly for services outside of BuraqWash.
- (g) Keep your account credentials confidential and notify us immediately of any unauthorised access.
12. Service Provider Relationship
- Service Providers on BuraqWash are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between BuraqWash and any Service Provider.
- Service Providers set their own schedules, choose which jobs to accept, provide their own equipment and supplies, and control the manner and method of performing services.
- BuraqWash does not control, direct or supervise Service Providers in the performance of their work. For the complete terms governing the Service Provider relationship, please see the Service Provider Agreement.
