Terms of use

1. What Sakay is

Sakay is a public directory that helps renters in Cebu and Bohol find vehicles with a driver and contact the vehicle owner directly. Sakay is not a transport operator, booking platform, payment processor, or party to any rental agreement. We do not quote, set, collect, or hold rates or deposits.

2. No bookings or payments

All schedules, routes, waiting time, inclusions, and rates are agreed directly between the renter and the owner. Sakay never asks for payment on behalf of an owner. Treat anyone claiming otherwise as suspicious and report the listing.

3. Owner responsibilities

• You must own the vehicle or be authorised by the registered owner to offer it for hire with a driver.
• The vehicle must hold valid for-hire classification and a current Official Receipt / Certificate of Registration (OR/CR). You must upload the latest OR/CR for administrator review.
• You consent to your vehicle photos and listing details being displayed publicly on Sakay, and to your contact number being shown to signed-in users with verified emails. You may withdraw a listing at any time, after which the number is no longer displayed on that listing.
• You must comply with Philippine law, including LTFRB rules for for-hire vehicles, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), and local ordinances in Cebu and Bohol.
• Listings are reviewed before publication. Administrators may reject, suspend, or remove a listing that is inaccurate, unsafe, or missing documents.

4. Renter responsibilities

• Verify the vehicle, the driver's licence, and the OR/CR in person before the trip.
• Agree on the total cost and inclusions before departure. Do not send deposits to anyone you have not verified.
• Use the contact details only to inquire about a genuine rental. Harassment, spam, and scraping are prohibited.

5. Accounts

You sign in with a Google account, and Google shares your name and email address with us. We only accept accounts with a valid, verified email address. Contact numbers are shown only to signed-in accounts. Your use of Google sign-in is also governed by Google's own terms and privacy policy. We may suspend accounts that breach these terms or that show suspicious activity, and we log account actions for safety.

6. Prohibited content

Do not post false or misleading listings, expired documents, stolen photos, prices or payment links, or content that discriminates against or endangers others. Listings may be removed without notice.

7. Sponsored placements

Administrators may assign a SPONSORED badge and a start and end date to approved listings. Sponsored listings are labelled and shown ahead of standard results. Sponsorship does not imply an endorsement of the owner, vehicle, or driver.

8. Limitation of liability

Sakay provides the directory “as is”. We do not guarantee vehicle availability, driver conduct, roadworthiness, or the accuracy of owner-provided information. To the extent permitted by law, Sakay is not liable for losses arising from arrangements made between users.

9. Changes

We may update these terms as the service grows to new locations. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new date.
