Pilot operating policy

Pilot terms.

These terms define how TriniDrop operates during the controlled Trinidad parcel-delivery pilot.

Access

Merchants and drivers may self-apply, but every operating account requires owner approval before creating, accepting, or completing deliveries.

Service scope

The MVP handles small parcels and one-driver large parcels that fit a car, SUV, or van. Food, cold-chain, heavy freight, and two-person cargo are out of scope.

Dispatch

Merchants choose a linked preferred driver or the approved driver pool. Admin staff may assign, reassign, publish, unpublish, cancel, or resolve exceptions.

Proof

Delivery completion requires OTP or signature proof. COD deliveries also require collected amount confirmation before the delivery can be completed.

Fees

Merchant delivery fees and driver payouts are flat configurable pilot rates. Admin adjustments may be applied for returns, disputes, failed deliveries, or special handling.

Disputes

Admin owns cancellation, refund, fee, COD, retry, and return outcomes. Delivery events, notes, proof records, and COD ledger entries are used for review.

Account removal

The owner may suspend or remove a merchant or driver account for unsafe handling, prohibited goods, repeated failed handoffs, unresolved COD issues, or misuse of customer data.

Policy changes

Pilot terms may change as operations mature. Active pilot users should be notified before material changes affect dispatch, COD handling, proof, fees, or account access.
