2 — Who Are We?
Jay is an electronic platform owned by Dhad Cloud Company, registered and licensed in accordance with the regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Jay acts as an electronic intermediary connecting users with stores and service providers, without being a direct party to the contract concluded between the user and the store regarding order preparation, product quality, or service performance.
Jay does not prepare, manufacture, or sell any product, and does not interfere with the content, pricing, or ingredients of store menus. Responsibility for the quality of products and services, and compliance with applicable health and regulatory requirements, rests exclusively with the relevant store or service provider.

Each booking and home-visit service has its own detailed terms, which are shown to the user the first time that service is used and form an integral part of these general Terms.
Jay reserves the right to add new services, modify existing services, or discontinue them at any time, with notice to users of any material changes.
Upcoming services: Jay is developing additional services that will be announced once ready for launch. Each new service will have its own independent registration page and terms of use, similar to the store registration mechanism.
4 — Order and Self-Pickup Mechanism
4.1 How does ordering work?
- The user browses the available stores and selects the required products or services.
- The user adds the items to the shopping cart and reviews the order details and invoice.
- Once the order is confirmed, the store must accept it within one minute of receiving it through its available portal. If it is not accepted within this period, the order is automatically cancelled and the full amount paid is refunded to the user.
- Once the store accepts the order, the contract is formed between the user and the store, and the user receives a notification confirming acceptance and the expected readiness time.
4.2 Geolocation Tracking for Easier Pickup
The Jay platform provides a geolocation tracking system that allows the store to see the user's location while heading to pick up their order. The purpose of this feature is to:
- Notify the store of the customer's approach so the order can be prepared at the right time.
- Reduce waiting times and improve the pickup experience.
- Enable the order to be handed to the customer without having to leave their vehicle, if they wish.
The user agrees to enable location services when using the self-pickup service. Stores cannot be browsed nor can any order be completed without enabling this permission. Tracking stops automatically once pickup is complete.
Notice — disabling location during an active order: Forcibly disabling location permission after payment is completed and while the order is being prepared, before pickup, affects the entire process. In this case the user bears any consequences related to a failed or delayed pickup and is not entitled to claim any compensation or refund. Continuing this behavior may lead to account suspension or blocking.
4.3 Special Requests and Notes
- The user may add notes or special requests to products before adding them to the cart.
- The store may charge additional fees for special requests, which are borne entirely by the user.
- All menu details and contents are the store's responsibility; Jay does not guarantee their accuracy or conformity with reality.
5 — Table Booking at Restaurants
- The platform allows the user to reserve a table in advance at participating restaurants.
- The booking is confirmed once the restaurant accepts it, and the user receives a notification accordingly.
- The user must arrive at the scheduled time. In case of delay or no-show, the restaurant may cancel the booking according to its internal policy.
- Jay acts only as an intermediary in the booking process; the restaurant is responsible for assigning the table and managing the full dining experience.
The full booking mechanism and its specific terms are shown within the dedicated bookings section inside the app and form an integral part of these Terms.
6 — Appointment Booking at Stores and Service Centers
6.1 Types of service providers
This service includes, but is not limited to: salons and beauty centers, maintenance centers, clinics, sports and fitness centers, and any store requiring a prior appointment.
6.2 Two service models
The user books an appointment and personally goes to the store's location at the scheduled time. In case of delay or cancellation outside the allowed period, each provider's specific terms apply.
A store representative goes to the user's location to perform the service. The user must provide the store with an accurate address and correct contact details.
6.3 Provider obligations
The provider is responsible for: arriving at the scheduled time, service quality, providing qualified staff, and complying with applicable safety and licensing regulations. Jay bears no responsibility for any breach by the provider unless clear negligence on the platform's part is proven.
