It does not offer the mentioned services but rather acts as a means for people to access them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do the SafeBoda new terms and conditions mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing sections of the Safeboda new terms and conditions is where the company emphasizes it will not be responsible for the actions of any service providers. In simple terms, if you make an order for food through the application and this food is not delivered or happens to be substandard you cannot make a complaint to the app and if you do there will be no remedy since the company is not liable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If you order for something on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SafeBoda?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@SafeBoda<\/a> or you want a package deliver, then the rider disappears.

But with the new SafeBoda terms and conditions, it looks like customers are on their own and no resolution will be given in case of a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the term service provider refers to riders, restaurants and eating places, pharmacies and grocery stores that provide products through the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing as the user will decide to choose a service provider, the responsibility now falls on them for any actions that the service provider may choose which means you can\u2019t report a SafeBoda rider for misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/how-to-improve-slow-internet-speed-while-using-vpn\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Easy ways on how to improve slow internet speed while using VPN.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the things that the company will not be liable for under the new SafeBoda terms and conditions include physical damage, bodily injuries, death, emotional distress and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole world has and continues to witness what WhatsApp is going through after taking similar action where it gave its users an ultimatum. If users didn\u2019t agree with the new terms and conditions then they would risk losing their accounts and all chats. Things quickly went downhill for WhatsApp after this after users promised to move to alternative messaging apps, the favourites being Signal and Telegram that have had more downloads globally than they\u2019ve ever had in a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp has since made desperate efforts to explain to its users what the new changes mean and clarify that many users\u2019 concerns over sharing their data are not true. It seems people have moved on as there haven\u2019t been any positive responses forcing the platform to postpone the unveiling of this update to a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could be a lesson for SafeBoda as it could see a similar end with people already expressing concerns over the new announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Basically they&#39;re closing their customer service center. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>&mdash; Steve\ud83d\udd75 (@SoberMuzzukulu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SoberMuzzukulu\/status\/1356623215423062016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 2, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/muk-proposes-a-new-learning-approach\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">MUK proposes new learning approach ahead of reporting date.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The e-hailing app unveiled the SafeBoda new terms and conditions that you must accept before you proceed to use the app. SafeBoda has made changes to its privacy policy that you are free to read through before you accept or can reject and risk losing the app. Also read: Electric bodabodas slowly dominate the local [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[83,85],"tags":[685,508,638],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techrafiki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/safeboda-99-e1494836254589.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2960"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2960"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2975,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2960\/revisions\/2975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
