Nothing in these Terms in any way affects the legal rights of consumers. However, the User acknowledges and accepts that where the Driver makes a purchase from a Trader on behalf of the User, and the User later wishes to exercise any consumer rights he or she may have against the Trader, the Trader may refuse to acknowledge the User’s consumer rights under the contract in circumstances where the User cannot prove that he or she has a contract with the Trader for the relevant purchase. Neither PHO/Wheely nor the Driver shall have any responsibility to the User in these circumstances and shall have no obligation to enter into any correspondence or negotiations with the relevant Trader.

However, Wheely and/or Driver provide no warranties or guarantees of any kind that Goods will be complete, of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and/or meet the requirements of the User and/or Recipient. Further Wheely or Driver shall not be liable for any damaged or missing Goods (unless such damage or loss arises as a result of Driver’s negligence or wilful default) in which the User shall deal directly with Driver. Except where User can demonstrate the damage to or loss of Goods is caused by Driver negligence or wilful default, User must seek to recover any loss or damage from the Trader directly.

    1. For any complaints or questions regarding lost & found items, please mail us via support@wheely.com, or report us via the chat function in the App.
    2. These Terms and all non-contractual obligations arising in any way whatsoever out of or in connection with the Terms are exclusively governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes or claims arising out of or related to these Terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
    3. If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

  18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
    1. If the User has a complaint relating to these Terms, the App or any services available through the App, Wheely will try to resolve the complaint using its internal complaints-handling procedure. Please contact Wheely by email at support@wheely.com, by telephone on +44 20 3936 9971 or by chat feature within an App.
    2. If the complaints-handling procedure is exhausted and Wheely has not been able to resolve the complaint, Wheely will provide the name and website address of an alternative dispute resolution (« ADR ») provider that would be competent to deal with the complaint. If the User makes a request for the dispute to be settled by ADR, Wheely will consider whether or not it wishes to participate in ADR but is not obliged by law to participate.
    3. The User may wish to use the online dispute resolution (« ODR ») platform to resolve the dispute, although Wheely is not obliged by law to participate in the process. The ODR platform was created by the EU Commission as a platform that allows consumers and traders to settle disputes relating to online purchases with the assistance of an impartial dispute resolution body. For more details, please visit the website on the « Your Europe » portal : https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr. (Wheely’s email address is support@wheely.com.)
