RIDENOW WALLET
Promotional Balance Policy
This policy explains the nature, permitted usage,
restrictions, non-withdrawal conditions, expiry,
cancellation treatment and misuse provisions applicable
to Promotional Balance issued by RideNow.
Policy Version: PROMO-2.0
Effective Date:
28 Aug 2026
This Promotional Balance Policy forms part of the applicable
RideNow Terms of Service, Wallet Terms and promotional
programme conditions.
By accepting, receiving or using Promotional Balance,
the account holder acknowledges and agrees to the
applicable conditions contained in this policy and the
relevant promotional offer.
1. Actual Wallet Balance and Promotional Balance
RideNow maintains a distinction between the customer's
actual wallet balance and Promotional Balance.
These balances are not interchangeable and do not carry
the same rights or permitted uses.
Actual Wallet Balance
Actual Wallet Balance represents the customer's
applicable wallet funds and may be used toward
eligible RideNow services in accordance with the
applicable Wallet Terms and service conditions.
Promotional Balance
Promotional Balance is a promotional benefit issued
by RideNow and may be used only as a discount toward
eligible Domestic or International Holiday Packages,
subject to this policy.
Promotional Balance is NOT a general-purpose wallet
balance.
It cannot be used interchangeably with Actual Wallet
Balance for ordinary travel-service transactions.
2. Nature of Promotional Balance
Promotional Balance is a promotional credit or benefit
granted by RideNow under an applicable promotional offer,
campaign, wallet recharge programme or other promotional
arrangement.
Promotional Balance is promotional credit only.
It is not cash, a bank deposit, a security deposit,
interest-bearing money, a transferable financial
instrument or an independently withdrawable monetary fund.
Promotional Balance is maintained separately from Actual
Wallet Balance and may be subject to eligibility,
validity, usage, expiry and other promotional conditions.
3. Promotional Credit
The amount of Promotional Balance credited to a customer
shall be determined by the applicable promotional offer
or campaign.
A particular offer may specify its own:
-
Promotional credit percentage or amount.
-
Minimum recharge or transaction requirement.
-
Maximum promotional benefit.
-
Eligibility requirements.
-
Validity or expiry period.
-
Eligible Holiday Package categories.
-
Other campaign-specific conditions.
Where an offer contains terms different from the general
conditions in this policy, the specific terms displayed
with that offer shall apply to that promotional benefit,
subject to applicable law.
4. Permitted Usage of Promotional Balance
Promotional Balance may be used only as a discount
against an eligible RideNow Domestic or International
Holiday Package, subject to the 30-day advance
requirement and the maximum usage limit described in this
policy.
Permitted:
Promotional Balance may be applied toward an eligible
Domestic Holiday Package or International Holiday Package,
subject to the minimum 30-day advance requirement and the
maximum usage limit described in this policy.
Promotional Balance cannot be used for
-
Flight tickets or standalone flight bookings.
-
Bus tickets or standalone bus bookings.
-
Cab, taxi or other standalone transportation bookings.
-
Hotel-only or standalone hotel bookings.
-
Visa services or visa processing charges.
-
Travel insurance or similar standalone services.
-
Wallet recharge or addition to Actual Wallet Balance.
-
Cash withdrawal or cash equivalent.
-
Transfer to another customer or RideNow account.
-
Any other service for which Promotional Balance is not
expressly permitted by RideNow.
The availability of a service on the RideNow platform does
not automatically make that service eligible for
Promotional Balance usage.
4A. Minimum 30-Day Advance Requirement
Promotional Balance may be used only for an eligible
Domestic or International Holiday Package where the
scheduled travel start date is at least 30 calendar
days from the date on which the Promotional Balance is
applied toward the booking.
Promotional Balance is NOT available for Holiday
Packages with fewer than 30 days remaining before
the travel start date.
Having Promotional Balance available in the customer's
wallet does not by itself make the booking eligible.
Eligibility Examples
-
Travel starts after 45 days:
Promotional Balance may be eligible.
-
Travel starts after 30 days:
Promotional Balance may be eligible.
-
Travel starts after 29 days:
Promotional Balance cannot be used.
-
Travel starts after 10 days:
Promotional Balance cannot be used.
-
Same-day or past travel:
Promotional Balance cannot be used.
Important:
Eligibility is determined using the applicable Holiday
Package travel start date and the date on which Promotional
Balance is intended to be applied.
The 30-day requirement is a mandatory eligibility condition
and is separate from the 25% maximum promotional usage
limit.
5. Maximum Promotional Balance Usage — 25%
Promotional Balance may be used as a discount for an
eligible Domestic or International Holiday Package only
when the travel start date is at least 30 days in advance.
Subject to this eligibility requirement, Promotional
Balance may be applied up to a maximum of
25% of the applicable Holiday Package value.
Maximum Promotional Discount = 25% of the eligible
Holiday Package value.
The customer's available Promotional Balance does not
increase this 25% transaction-level limit.
Holiday Package Value
₹1,00,000
Minimum Travel Advance Required
30 Days
Maximum Promotional Usage (25%)
₹25,000
Customer Promotional Balance
₹40,000
Maximum Promo Discount Allowed
₹25,000
Remaining Package Amount
₹75,000
In the above example, even though the customer has
₹40,000 Promotional Balance, only ₹25,000 may be applied
to the ₹1,00,000 eligible Holiday Package, provided the
package travel start date is at least 30 days away.
If the travel start date is less than 30 days away,
Promotional Balance usage shall not be permitted regardless
of the customer's available Promotional Balance.
The unused Promotional Balance remains subject to its
original validity, expiry and other applicable conditions.
6. Actual Wallet Balance for Other Services
Where a customer uses RideNow services such as flights,
buses, cabs, hotel bookings, visa services or other
eligible travel services, the applicable payment shall
be made using the customer's Actual Wallet Balance or
another payment method permitted for that service.
Promotional Balance does not replace or reduce the amount
payable for services that are not eligible for Promotional
Balance usage.
For example, if a customer has:
-
Actual Wallet Balance: ₹10,000
-
Promotional Balance: ₹5,000
and purchases a ₹7,000 flight ticket, the applicable
₹7,000 payment will be taken from the Actual Wallet
Balance, subject to the applicable service and wallet
rules.
The ₹5,000 Promotional Balance will remain available for
eligible Holiday Package usage, subject to its applicable
conditions and expiry.
7. No Withdrawal, Encashment or Conversion
Promotional Balance cannot be withdrawn, encashed or
converted into Actual Wallet Balance by the customer.
-
It cannot be transferred to a bank account.
-
It cannot be transferred to UPI, card or another
external payment instrument.
-
It cannot be converted into cash.
-
It cannot be exchanged for a cash equivalent.
-
It cannot be transferred to another customer.
-
It cannot be used to recharge or increase the
Actual Wallet Balance.
-
It does not accrue interest.
Promotional Balance has no independent cash
withdrawal entitlement.
The existence of a Promotional Balance amount in a
customer's account does not create an automatic right
to receive that amount in cash or through any external
payment method.
8. Cancellation, Refund and Rescheduling
Where Promotional Balance is applied to an eligible
Holiday Package, the cancellation, refund or rescheduling
of that package shall be governed by the applicable
Holiday Package terms, booking conditions and supplier
policies.
Promotional Balance used as a discount does not become
Actual Wallet Balance or cash merely because a booking
is cancelled or refunded.
Any refund arising from a Holiday Package cancellation
shall be processed according to the applicable booking,
cancellation and refund terms. The promotional component
is not automatically converted into a cash refund.
Where RideNow permits restoration of unused or eligible
Promotional Balance following a cancellation, such
restoration may be subject to the original promotional
validity and other applicable conditions.
9. Validity and Expiry
Promotional Balance may carry a validity or expiry period
determined by the applicable promotional programme.
Where a specific promotional offer states an expiry date,
that expiry date shall apply to the relevant Promotional
Balance.
Upon expiry, the applicable Promotional Balance may be
removed or marked as expired and shall not automatically
become Actual Wallet Balance or cash.
Customers are responsible for reviewing the promotional
balance information and using eligible Promotional Balance
before its applicable expiry.
10. Misuse, Manipulation and Exploitation
Promotional Balance is intended solely for legitimate use
in accordance with the applicable promotional programme
and these terms.
Any attempt to misuse, manipulate, exploit, fraudulently
obtain or circumvent the Promotional Balance system may
result in action against the Promotional Balance and,
where appropriate, the associated account or transaction.
Examples of prohibited or abusive conduct include
-
Creating or operating multiple accounts to obtain
additional promotional benefits.
-
Attempting to bypass the 25% Promotional Balance
usage restriction.
-
Attempting to bypass or circumvent the mandatory
30-day advance requirement.
-
Manipulating package prices, bookings, cancellations
or transactions to obtain an unauthorized promotional
benefit.
-
Attempting to convert Promotional Balance into
Actual Wallet Balance or cash.
-
Attempting to transfer Promotional Balance or
promotional benefits to another account.
-
Exploiting bugs, technical errors, system defects or
unintended system behaviour.
-
Using fraudulent, misleading or unauthorized
information to obtain Promotional Balance.
-
Attempting to combine promotions in a manner not
permitted by the applicable promotional offer.
-
Any other conduct that RideNow reasonably considers
to be misuse, manipulation or exploitation of the
promotional programme.
11. RideNow's Right to Restrict, Deny or Withdraw
Promotional Balance
RideNow and Noivo Tech Pvt. Ltd. reserve the right,
subject to applicable law and the applicable promotional
terms, to take appropriate action where Promotional
Balance or a promotional programme is found to have been
misused, manipulated, exploited, fraudulently obtained
or otherwise abused.
Such action may include, without limitation:
-
Restricting the use of Promotional Balance.
-
Denying the application of Promotional Balance to
a transaction.
-
Suspending Promotional Balance temporarily or
permanently.
-
Reducing or adjusting an incorrectly credited
Promotional Balance amount.
-
Reversing Promotional Balance issued due to error,
abuse or unauthorized activity.
-
Withdrawing or cancelling Promotional Balance.
-
Cancelling or reversing promotional benefits obtained
through misuse or manipulation.
-
Restricting eligibility for future promotional offers.
-
Taking action against accounts or transactions
associated with suspected abuse, subject to applicable
law and relevant terms.
RideNow / Noivo Tech Pvt. Ltd. reserves the right to
restrict, deny, suspend, reduce, cancel, reverse or
withdraw Promotional Balance where it reasonably
determines that the Promotional Balance has been
misused, manipulated, exploited, fraudulently obtained
or used in violation of the applicable promotional
conditions.
These rights are intended to protect the integrity of
RideNow's promotional programmes and prevent unfair or
unauthorized benefits.
12. Technical Errors and Incorrect Credits
Promotional Balance may occasionally be affected by
technical errors, system failures, duplicate transactions,
incorrect calculations or other unintended circumstances.
Where Promotional Balance is incorrectly credited due to
a technical or operational error, RideNow may correct,
reverse or adjust the incorrect amount, subject to
applicable law.
An accidental or incorrect promotional credit does not
create an unconditional entitlement to retain or withdraw
the incorrectly credited amount.
13. No Guaranteed Future Promotional Benefit
Receiving Promotional Balance under one promotional
programme does not guarantee that the customer will
receive the same or any Promotional Balance under future
programmes.
Promotional campaigns may have separate eligibility,
validity, benefit and usage conditions.
14. Account Closure, Suspension or Ineligibility
Promotional Balance may become unavailable if the
customer's account is closed, suspended, blocked or
otherwise becomes ineligible under the applicable RideNow
terms or promotional conditions, subject to applicable law.
Promotional Balance does not create an independent right
to maintain an account or continue receiving promotional
benefits.
15. Promotional Balance Records
RideNow may maintain records relating to the issuance,
utilization, expiry, reversal, cancellation and adjustment
of Promotional Balance for operational, accounting,
compliance, customer-support, audit and dispute-resolution
purposes.
Promotional Balance transactions may appear separately
from Actual Wallet Balance transactions in the customer's
wallet statement or transaction history.
16. Holiday Package Terms Still Apply
Promotional Balance usage does not override the applicable
terms of the selected Holiday Package.
Package availability, pricing, inclusions, exclusions,
cancellation charges, amendment charges, supplier
conditions, taxes, government charges and refund rules
remain subject to the applicable Holiday Package and
supplier terms.
Promotional Balance is only a permitted payment discount
mechanism and does not alter the underlying service
conditions.
Eligibility under this Promotional Balance Policy,
including the minimum 30-day advance requirement, does not
guarantee package availability or a fixed package price.
17. Policy Changes
RideNow may update this Promotional Balance Policy from
time to time to reflect changes in promotional programmes,
products, services, operational requirements, security
measures or applicable legal requirements.
Changes will generally apply prospectively unless otherwise
required by applicable law or specifically stated in the
relevant promotional programme.
The policy version applicable to a Promotional Balance
transaction may be recorded against the relevant
promotional credit or transaction.
