2.7 Discounts and promotion codes

We offer special promotion codes to riders to provide discounts on rides (“Voi Credits”). To apply Voi Credits to a trip’s fare, enter the relevant promotion code any time before Your trip begins. In order to be able to use a promotion code, You have to have added a payment method.

Promotion codes are entered into the Voi App by way of selecting “Free Rides” from the menu and then “Redeem Code”. To check Your Voi Credit balance, select “Profile” and then “Voi Credits”.

Voi Credits will be used by default, so if You have a free ride on Your account, this will automatically be Your next trip. If all Voi Credits have been used during a ride, You have to pay for any remaining part of the ride. If a promotion code has an expiration date, it has to be used prior to such date. Codes cannot be extended or renewed.

Voi Credits are one-time offers and can only be redeemed via Voi App. Voi reserves the right to modify or cancel discounts not yet redeemed via the relevant promotion code at any time without notice. Voi Credits may be limited to one per customer and account and may not be combined with other offers. Discounts are non-transferable and may not be resold or refunded.

2.8 Share Voi and get free rides

You may share Your promotion code with friends and thereby earn credits. You do this by way of selecting “Free Rides” in the Voi App, where You will find Your personal invite code. You share Your personal invite code by tapping “Send Code” and selecting one of the options available. These options can e.g. be text, email, sharing on social media or copying Your personal invite code.

When a friend completes its first trip with Voi after using Your personal invite code, Your account will automatically receive Voi Credits.

Personal invite codes should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes. This means You can share Your invite link with Your personal connections (i.e. people that You know) via social media as long as You are the primary content owner. Public distribution on sites where You are a contributor but not the primary content owner is not permitted. Promoting Your referral code via search engine marketing (for example, AdWords, Facebook) is also not permitted.

Referred invitation codes are only applicable to an invited user’s first ride and not intended for existing users. Existing users attempting to take advantage of the referral program may have their referral promotions disabled.

2.9 Revoke credits and deactivate accounts

Voi reserves the right to suspend rider accounts and revoke referral promotions that violate these terms.

We at all times reserve the right to deactivate Your account where You have not paid or in any other way have breached this section 2.
