4.2. Courier and Client
review
4.2.1. Clients who have used Unique Air Express Services
will be asked by Unique Air Express to comment on the Unique Air
Express Services and to provide a score for Unique Air Express
Services and the Courier. Unique Air Express reserves the right to
post these comments and scores on the Site/
Courier
App
(or such other platforms as owned, managed, and
controlled by Unique Air Express) without reference to the Client or
Courier. Unique Air Express shall also request the Courier to
comment on and to provide a score for the Client on the
Courier App. The Courier will provide accurate and
objective feedback that does not violate any applicable laws and
regulations.
4.2.2. The Courier acknowledges that Unique Air
Express is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not
a publisher of these comments and scores. Unique Air Express
reserves the right to refuse, edit or remove unfavourable reviews in
the event that such reviews include obscenities, or mention an
individual’s name or violate any privacy laws or any other
applicable laws and regulations. Beyond the legal and regulatory
requirements, Unique Air Express shall not have and hereby disclaims
any liability and responsibility for the content and the
consequences of (the publication or distribution of) any comments,
scores, or reviews howsoever or whatsoever.

the opportunity to connect with the Courier that maintain the
highest standards of professionalism. The Courier agrees that it
will maintain high standards of professionalism and service,
including but not limited to professional attire and maintaining an
average rating set by Unique Air Express based on feedback from
Clients for every eligible Delivery. Unique Air Express utilizes a
rating system (“Courier Rating Program”) designed to allow the
Clients to provide feedback on the level of the Delivery Service
provided by those Couriers who accept Delivery Requests received via
the Courier App.
4.2.4. Rating is the accumulated value for all
Delivery Requests completed by the Courier. For any positive rating
gained by the Courier, the Courier App gives of experience points
(“XP”) to the Courier. For any sub-par or negative rating given to
the Courier by the Customer, the XP may be written off. The
algorithm used by the Technology for calculation of XP for each
Courier will consider all feedback received from the Clients, and
other measures, set by Unique Air Express at its sole discretion, in
relation to the Delivery Request execution by the relevant Courier.
XP may be earned by the Courier by carrying out timely Deliveries,
appearing presentable and professional, communicating with the
Client in a respectful and polite manner, checking onto the Courier
App in time, by carrying out Delivery instructions as requested by
the Client, etc. Courier understands that there is a specific XP-
rating Couriers must maintain to continue receiving access to the
Unique Air Express Service and/or the Courier. The Courier will see
a push notification/pop up/other type of communication, about its
XPs accrual or deduction. The Courier can access their rating data
in the Statistics section of their Account and contact our support
team in the Courier App in case of inquiries. In the event a
Courier’s overall rating or XP falls below the applicable minimum
rating as set by Unique Air Express, Unique Air Express will notify
the Courier by email or other written means. In the event the rating
or XP (based on Client feedback and the Delivery Request execution)
has not increased above the minimum, Unique Air Express may
deactivate the Courier access to the Courier App and/or Unique Air
Express Services. Unique Air Express reserves the right, at all
times and at Unique Air Express’s sole discretion, to reclaim,
prohibit, suspend, limit or otherwise restrict the Courier from
accessing or using the Courier App, if the Courier fail to maintain
the standards of appearance and service required by the Clients. The
amount of XP gained shall determine the kind of Deliveries the
Courier shall be eligible to undertake. Couriers with poor XP may
not be eligible for taking some high value orders (in terms of
earning potential). Once the Courier levels up on XP, the algorithm
used by the Technology shall allow the Courier all kinds of orders
and Deliveries.
