This agreement and all of the terms and conditions herein, will remain in full force and effect, to the extent of the laws that you work and/or reside in, during and after you use of CAR TECHNOLOGY, or are a user. There are sections of CAR TECHNOLOGY that we make accessible to its user in the general public without the process of registering and you may visit, peruse, and browse those sections; however, we hold the right to make changes, control, limit, regulate, decrease, or restrict those sections at any time, for any reason or no reason, in our discretion, without any notice or prior consent from you.

You will give your valid e-mail address, and for any reason or no reason, we may ask that you present other information that we may require in order to create your account. We may also, on occasion or at any time in our discretion, present users with further codes or passwords that may be required to access, enter, connect to, and/or use certain services, promotions, features, websites, mobile applications, or functions of CAR TECHNOLOGY. Please carefully read our Privacy Policy, which details the confidential and personally attributable information, i.e. your "Personal Information," that we compile, maintain, use, retain, disclose, manage, handle, accumulate, and store. When setting up your account, it is imperative that you give accurate, authentic, correct, factual, and complete information. You are completely liable for any and all activity that transpires with your user ID, and it is imperative that you keep your account password protected and secure. Maintaining the confidentiality of your password is your exclusive responsibility.

You agree not to use another user’s user ID or account. We are not, nor will we ever be, liable or held accountable for any harm caused, in connection of, or related to the theft, exploitation, extortion, misappropriation, mishandling, misuse, or disclosure of any portion or in its entirety of your user ID, or your disclosure, authority, or authorization of anyone else to use or handle your user ID.

ELIGIBILITY

CAR TECHNOLOGY can only be used by those users who can form legally binding contracts under the relevant laws, legislations, mandates, regulations, rulings, statutes, acts, codes, decrees, precedents, or by any other governmental requirements of the jurisdiction in the area of which you use the CAR TECHNOLOGY. As stated above, CAR TECHNOLOGY is not authorized for the use of persons under the age of 23 or for users who have had their user account either temporarily or permanently terminated, deactivated, or suspended. By enrolling and therefore becoming a user, you are representing and warranting that you are at least the age of 23 and that you have the right, ability, authority, capacity, and competence to enter into and adhere to the terms and conditions that are set forth within this agreement. It is against this agreement to authorize any other person’s usage and access to your user account, and you accept, acknowledge, and agree that you are the singular approved user of your account.

III. CAR TECHNOLOGY

The CAR TECHNOLOGY is comprised of mobile applications and related services which enable any persons and/or companies who are in need of transportation (“Riders”) to receive a referral service, provided by us, in which they are matched and connected with different persons and/or companies that offer such services to their requested destinations (“Drivers”). Both drivers and riders shall create a user account that enables access to the CAR TECHNOLOGY. (Drivers and riders shall be mutually referred to herein as “Users”). Each person who decides to engage in and register to use CAR TECHNOLOGY may only establish one user account as a driver and one user account as a rider. CAR reserves the right and will shut down any additional accounts that a single user attempts to create immediately with or without notice to you. As a user of CAR TECHNOLOGY, websites, mobile application, content, and functions, you authorize CAR to provide you with a referral for a driver or rider based on certain factors and information, for instance your location, the estimated time of arrival to pick up, your requested destination, any user requests or preferences, platform capability and efficiency, and to allow access for both driver and rider to cancel an existing match and/or rematch based on the same choices or any modified preferences that the user may change. For any and all purposes of this agreement, the driving services rendered by drivers to riders that are matched through the CAR TECHNOLOGY shall be mutually considered and referred to as the “Services”. Any arrangement by a user to offer, accept, or decline services by another user is a decision made at that user’s sole discretion and is in no way under the control of CAR and as such all responsibility or liability falls unto those users who made the decision for services. Each and every transportation service rendered by a driver to a rider will establish a separate arrangement between such persons and CAR does not assume any responsibility or liability from this interaction.

The CAR TECHNOLOGY provides riders the ability to be selective in their search requests and only receive results based on those specific requests; CAR does not warrant that any request will be filled with available drivers meeting any specialized requests or preferences of any rider.

Along with arranging and scheduling transportation, CAR TECHNOLOGY also arranges for the logistics and/or delivery services in order to purchase certain goods, services, or products, including the use of third party providers of services, products, and/or goods that are under agreement with CAR or CAR affiliates, known herein as "Third Party Providers". In certain circumstances, the services that you are requesting may also include an option to receive transportation, logistics, and/or the delivery of services, products, or goods for an upfront price, which is subject to authorization by the relevant third party providers. YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION, GOODS, LOGISTICS, PRODUCTS, AND/OR DELIVERY SERVICES THROUGH THE AVAILABILITY OF THE CAR SERVICES DOES NOT IN ANY WAY CONSTITUTE CAR AS A PROVIDER OF TRANSPORTATION, GOODS, LOGISTICS, PRODUCTS, AND/OR DELIVERY SERVICES OR AS A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER.

You understand, acknowledge, and accept that certain options of the CAR TECHNOLOGY may be made accessible under CAR’s assorted brands and our many types of request options that are available with different types of transportation or logistical needs. You accept, acknowledge, and agree that the CAR TECHNOLOGY may be made accessible under such brand names or request options by or in relation with: (i) CAR’s subsidiaries, parents, assigns, and affiliates; or (ii) through certain independent Third Party Providers, including Transportation Network Company drivers, Transportation Charter Permit holders, or holders of comparable transportation permits, authorizations, permissions, sanctions, or licenses.

You agree to the use of a 3rd party telematic technology application supplied by CAR’s insurance provider that will monitor your driving behavior, this software may score your driving behavior and inform CAR and CAR’s insurance company of any unsafe or poor driving habits. CAR reserves in its sole right to terminate your account based on the findings of these reports without notice.

Drivers will subscribe to the CAR TECHNOLOGY and pay CAR monthly service fees. CAR will provide drivers full access to the CAR TECHNOLOGY based on the licensing and subscription plan that the driver has selected and paid for. CAR will auto draft the driver’s bank account or process these fees on a credit card as selected and provided for by the driver, and the driver authorizes CAR to make such deduction or draft. CAR reserves the right to suspend the driver's account for any breach of this agreement or nonpayment until such condition is cured. Driver’s subscription fees are nonrefundable and are considered earned at time of payment. Driver’s subscription fees can either be month to month or annually, depending on the applicant’s choice, and require a 30 day written cancellation notice.

CAR TECHNOLOGY may, from time to time, offer orientation videos (“Videos”) for drivers. Videos are for informational purposes only. Drivers agree that no representations, recommendations, or guarantees are being made in videos offered by CAR. The people in the videos are paid actors and are not users of CAR TECHNOLOGY. Drivers may elect to watch the videos and incorporate any practices at their discretion. Drivers assume all responsibility for any actions they take based upon practices conveyed in the videos.

As a registered CAR driver, you will receive payment for your trip fares pursuant to the terms of the “CAR Driver Payment Plan,” which shall form part of this agreement between you and CAR. The driver payment plan is available in the driver dashboard when you log into your account.

You acknowledge and understand that it is not a requirement for you to give this consent as a condition of obtaining or purchasing any property, goods, or services that might be available to you.

Users of the CAR mobile app are given the option to allow access to their contacts. If allowed, CAR TECHNOLOGY uses this information solely for the purpose of identifying matches that will be returned when a rider performs a ride search as part of our friends and family feature. This data is not stored on the CAR servers and is not used or sold by CAR for any reason except said matching feature.

IF, AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON, YOU DECIDE TO DISCONTINUE OR OPT OUT OF ANY OR ALL PROMOTIONAL EMAILS, YOU CAN UNSUBSCRIBE BY FOLLOWING THE “UNSUBSCRIBE OPTIONS” AS SET FORTH IN ALL OF THE PROMOTIONAL EMAILS THAT MAY BE SENT TO YOU.

CAR FLEET SERVICES.

CAR TECHNOLOGY has an available feature that allows riders to utilize “Fleet Services” in which CAR serves as a dispatch service for professional drivers such as taxi cabs, professional for-hire vehicles, and the like (“Fleet Drivers”). Riders acknowledge that when using Fleet Services, Fleet drivers are not TNC drivers as defined by the Florida statutes and, as such, are not subject to the requirements of s.627.748 Florida statutes, including without limitation: background screening requirements and insurance requirements, but rather fleet drivers are governed by other laws, rules, and authorities applicable specifically to fleet drivers.

VIII. RELATIONSHIP WITH CAR

You accept, acknowledge, recognize, and agree that as a driver on the CAR platform, website, and mobile app that you and CAR are in a direct business relationship as a licensee and licensor, and that the relationship between both the parties under this agreement is expressly that of licensee and licensor. You and CAR specifically acknowledge and agree that (1) this is not an employment agreement and as such does not constitute an employment relationship between you and CAR; and (2) that no joint venture, employment, enterprise, franchisor- franchisee, investment, partnership, cooperation, or agency relationship is intended, contracted, created, established, promised, proposed, or exists by this agreement. You have absolutely no power, authority, or authorization to bind CAR and you understand not to hold yourself out as an employee, agent, or authorized representative of CAR in any way.

CAR does not, and will not be considered to, direct or control you broadly or in your conduct under this agreement definitively, as well as in relation with your supplying of services, your acts, actions, exclusions, or omissions, or the operation, application, preservation, and maintenance of your vehicle that you use. You maintain the exclusive right to decide when, where, and for the amount of time that you will take advantage of the CAR TECHNOLOGY. You maintain the option or choice to accept, decline, or ignore riders' solicitation for services via CAR TECHNOLOGY. You may also cancel a confirmed or accepted request for services through CAR TECHNOLOGY, which will still be subject to CAR then-current cancellation policies.

You accept, acknowledge, recognize and agree that you have complete judgement for deciding to give or not to give Services or to otherwise enlist in any other business or employment activities, actions, or enterprises.

RIDER FARES, SERVICE FEES, PAYMENTS, AND OTHER CHARGES

As a rider, you acknowledge that the application to use or the usage of the CAR TECHNOLOGY may create charges or fees for you. Charges may include but are not limited to, pass through driver fares and/or any other relevant fees such as, special adjustments, waiting fees, service fees, parking, tolls, admission fees, surcharges, driver tips, airport fees, insurance fees, special parking fees, extra luggage fees, booking fees, and any government imposed taxes that may apply in your city or ride location.

Drivers have the exclusive authority to set their own rates (“Fare” or “Fares”), CAR does not set fares for riders. Drivers post their hourly fares on CAR TECHNOLOGY and a minimum fare that they charge regardless of the time, distance, or fare. Drivers are independent owner-operators and have the option to receive payments from riders in various forms such as cash, checks, or through the convenience of the CAR’s card processing program (“CAR Card Processing”). Fares may vary dependent upon the particular driver that you request. Please be aware that not all drivers are priced the same and there may be several reasons for the variation in fares such as the vehicle type and age, driver status, special services, market or region or other considerations placed on the rates by the driver. You are responsible for reviewing the driver’s page and/or the fare quotes within the CAR TECHNOLOGY and shall be responsible for all charges incurred under your user account, regardless of your awareness of such charges, or the amounts thereof. When requesting transportation, the quote that is displayed (“Quote”) is based on the current road and traffic conditions, however, these quotes are subject to change, greater or lesser, depending on the actual time it takes to complete your ride. Driver’s fares are calculated pro-rata by minutes and the driver’s hourly rate multiplied by the actual time it takes to complete the trip. At the conclusion of a ride, you may decide to tip your driver.

A service fee (“Service Fee”) is added to every ride that is arranged through the CAR TECHNOLOGY and the rider shall pay the fare and service fee through CAR’s card processing. CAR's card processing includes payments made using a card, the term “Card” will include all credit, gift, promo, or debit cards. CAR reserves the right from time to time to adjust the service fees, as necessary. Service fees are in addition to the overall fares along with any additional charges or adjustments that may occur during the rider’s trip. Service fees will also be added to charges for cancellations and damages that are processed on the rider’s card. CAR reserves the right to use any of the revenue from any charges for any purpose that CAR chooses, in its sole discretion. A booking fee (“Booking Fee”) is applied to every ride and is the fee CAR charges to support its business and provide riders and drivers with the use of the CAR TECHNOLOGY. An insurance fee (“Insurance Fee”) is applied to every ride and is a calculation based from the total insurance cost that is billed to CAR in order to provide such coverage’s as are mandated by Transportation Network Company (“TNC”) laws, if they apply to CAR TECHNOLOGY or services. Riders are billed this insurance fee pro rata based on the amount of mileage for each ride from the start point to the end point. Insurance fees may vary from location to location or other factors that may be implied by the insurance carrier. CAR may impose an addition to the insurance fee at its sole discretion. Drivers and riders agree that chargebacks (“Chargeback”) on credit cards used to pay for CAR’s services or CAR TECHNOLOGY shall not be permitted. In the event of a chargeback, drivers and riders agree that they will be charged a $30.00 “Chargeback Fee” by CAR. Such chargeback fee shall be final and assessed by CAR in its sole discretion. Drivers and riders agree that the chargeback fee is reasonable. In the event that drivers or riders dispute a charge on their credit card, they must contact CAR customer service to dispute the charge.

Please be aware that other fees and surcharges may be implemented to your ride. Some examples of this are any actual or expected airport fees, any relevant state or local fees, event fees which are decided by CAR and/or its marketing partners, and any processing fees that may be charged for split payments. Furthermore, where required by applicable law CAR will also obtain any relevant taxes from you. To learn more please review your market’s CAR page for further specifics on any other charges that could potentially apply to your ride.

After requesting a ride through CAR, you have the option to cancel your ride through the mobile app, however please note that a cancellation fee may apply. A cancellation fee may also be assessed if you fail to show up to the designated pick-up location after requesting a ride or are not available at your location and ready to go within 5 minutes of the driver’s arrival. You can review our help center at any time to read more about our cancellation policy.

There is a no-refund policy on any and all charges. This no-refund policy will be fully enforced at all times no matter the reason for your decision to cancel your use of the CAR TECHNOLOGY, including any interruption to the CAR TECHNOLOGY, or for any and all other reasons.

Upon the use of a new payment method or for each ride requested, CAR may request approval of your chosen payment method to authenticate said payment method, establish that the cost of the ride will be covered in your account of choosing, and safeguard against any unauthorized transactions. This authorization is not a permanent charge, although, it may be visible and as such deduct your available credit on your bank statement by the allowed authorization amount until whenever your bank’s next processing cycle happens. Please keep in mind that if the authorization amount is more than the total amount of funds available to deposit in your chosen account, you may be given an overdraft of NSF charges by your bank that is issuing your debit or prepaid card. We cannot and will not be held responsible at any time or for any reason for these charges and are not able to provide you with assistance in recovering the losses or fees from your bank. Please look over the CAR help link if you would like to learn more.

All of the charges and payments will be facilitated by CAR using the payment method that has been designated in your user account settings. After services have been rendered, you will receive a receipt through your chosen email. If for any reason your primary user account payment method is found to be expired, closed, invalid, frozen, or otherwise not available to be charged the fee, you accept, understand, and agree that CAR may attempt to use a secondary payment method that is available in your account.

REPAIR, CLEANING, OR LOST AND FOUND FEES.

If at any time a driver reports that a rider has physically caused a mess within the driver’s vehicle, damaged, or injured the driver's vehicle in any way including getting sick (vomited or released other bodily fluids or solids) in the vehicle, or rider’s pet has caused any damages or has released any fluids (vomit, poop, pee, saliva), rider acknowledges that rider will be responsible for paying a damage fee (“Damage Fee”) up to a maximum amount of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00), depending on the scope of the damage that was incurred (which will be decided by the driver at their sole discretion), for vehicle repair, sanitation, and/or cleaning. CAR holds the right (but is in no way duty-bound) to certify or otherwise require any documentation of such damage before processing any of the damage fees requested. CAR has expressly required that drivers photograph and document within 3 minutes of the end of trip, any damages or required cleaning necessary to restore the vehicle to the condition that it was in prior to processing any claim thru the CAR TECHNOLOGY against any rider that is in question of damages or cleaning.

Users (whether the rider or driver, depending on where the fault lies) will also be responsible and liable for any damages to property that is in relation or connection to the use of the CAR TECHNOLOGY or CAR’s services. CAR maintains the right to facilitate the payment for the reasonable cost of any and all repairs, but is in no way duty-bound or obligated to facilitate these transactions, by using the payment method that is designated to your personal account. Such amounts, as well as those referring to any lost and/or found goods, will be transferred by CAR to a third-party provider or the person whose property was damaged, if relevant, and as such all of these transactions are non-refundable.

The amounts in connection to repair, cleaning, damages, and/or lost & found fees relevant in your market may be found at https://help.callaride.com/knowledge/riders#fares-fees-and-charges and may be updated by CAR, in its sole discretion. Please check back periodically as these coverages and amounts may be updated or changed from time to time.

ORDER PLACEMENT FOR DRIVER OR RIDER SEARCHES.

When you initiate a search that is location based, the results displayed will be for all CAR drivers that are considered to be in that particular category and who are located in the particular area as-selected by the CAR user. In the event that there are no results to be found for a particular city location that has been requested, the search will then expand to a county level. After that, if there are still no results displayed for that particular category, then the search will automatically expand to the state level. CAR does not guarantee the availability of drivers on CAR TECHNOLOGY and riders specifically agree that CAR will not be responsible for driver unavailability.

XII. YOUR INFORMATION

CAR also has a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy for drivers while using the CAR TECHNOLOGY.

Depending upon the area that you are providing transportation services through the CAR platform, some laws, legislations, mandates, regulations, rulings, statutes, acts, codes, decrees, and/or precedents prohibit the use of dashboard cameras and/or other recording devices and as such may not be allowed during rides. Please also be aware that in some cities, states, or areas a signage may be required to make known the presence of any recording devices. Please refer to the laws on recording devices that have been implemented in the area that you use the CAR services.

XIV. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Any and all intellectual property rights within the CAR TECHNOLOGY are hereby owned by CAR completely and entirely. These rights include, but are not limited, to the database rights, copyrights, design rights (no matter if they are registered or not), trademarks (also registered or not), and other comparable rights that occur in the world along with the right to request protection for same. Any and all other trademarks, logos, service marks, company, or product names announced within CAR TECHNOLOGY are the property of their corresponding owners.

CAR and any other CAR logos, designs, graphics, icons, scripts, and service names are registered trademarks or trade dress of CAR in the United States and all other countries (“Marks”). If you provide services as a driver, CAR allocates to you, for the duration of this agreement, and contingent to your observance with this agreement, a fixed, revocable, license to show and use marks exclusively in relation to giving services through CAR TECHNOLOGY (“License”). This license is fixed and non-transferable (meaning you cannot assign it to someone else) and you do not have the right to give or appropriate it to any third party or to give, permission, license, or sublicense with respect to any of the allowances granted hereunder without CAR’s express and prior written permission, which it may withhold at any time for any reason or no reason at its sole discretion. The marks may not be used in any way that could ever cause confusion.

You agree and acknowledge that CAR is the owner and only licensor of the marks, information, websites, scripts, content, CAR TECHNOLOGY, and trademarks including all goodwill correlated therewith. You also agree and acknowledge that your use of the marks will not mean any further interest in or of any ownership of the marks in you but rather inures to the benefit of CAR. Failure to adhere to this agreement may result in permanent removal from any and all CAR TECHNOLOGY or services and functions and/or non-refundable loss of payments until such time as the offensive matters or materials are resolved.

You acknowledge and agree that you will not at any time:

design any components that use the marks or any by-products of the marks as a trademark, service mark, trade name, or trade dress, other than as solely approved by CAR in writing prior to such use;
use the marks in any and all ways that may impair their legality as proprietary trademarks, service marks, trade names, or trade dress, or use the marks any other way than is stated in this agreement;
take any action that would threaten, jeopardize, impair, debilitate, or diminish CAR as the rightful owner of the marks or their authority and therefore their ability to enforce the marks, which includes denying, challenging, contending, or opposing CAR’s rightful ownership of the marks;
attempt to gain trademark registration or renewal of trademark registration for any of the marks, any subordinate of the marks, any consolidation of the marks and/or any other name, or any trademark, service mark, trade name, symbol, or word which is comparable to the marks;
or make usage of the marks on or in relation to any enterprise, product, action, service, or activity that is in infringement of any laws, legislations, mandates, regulations, rulings, statutes, acts, codes, decrees, precedents, or by any other governmental requirements or standard in the country, county, or area that you are using CAR TECHNOLOGY or services.

The consequences of infringement of any arrangement of this license could result in prompt termination of the license at CAR’s sole discretion and at any time. CAR controls the right to rescind your license to use marks for any reason or no reason at all. If you construct anything that uses the marks (in infringement of this agreement), you acknowledge and agree that upon their construction CAR will solely own all rights, titles, and interests in those constructs, including any alterations, modifications, or adjustments to the marks or any subordinate works that can be construed as based on the marks. You also acknowledge and agree to give any interest or right you may have in such constructs to CAR, and to give any and all information and to provide any documents as reasonably needed by CAR to facilitate CAR to establish such control.

CAR will always respect the intellectual property of others, and demands that its users do the same when working with CAR. If you have reason to believe that any constructs on the CAR TECHNOLOGY violate your copyrights, please view our copyright policy for information on how to make a copyright inquiry.

ADA POLICY

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a combination of federal laws that require employers with 15 employees or more to not discriminate against any applicants or individuals who have disabilities. We must also provide reasonable accommodations for any riders, drivers, or users who are either qualified to drive or are qualified to request services through CAR TECHNOLOGY. It is the policy of CAR to comply with all federal and state laws pertaining to the employment of persons with disabilities and to act in accordance with regulations and guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Additionally, it is CAR policy to not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in regard to using the CAR TECHNOLOGY in any way. Beyond any legal obligations, CAR is committed to providing accommodations for all who want to make use of our services and that will allow its employees and customers with disabilities to contribute to the community at the highest levels.

In the event that an individual with a disability requests a service and that service can be reasonably accommodated without generating undue hardship to a driver or causing a direct threat to others safety, he or she will be given the same available opportunities for requesting services as any other user. Any users who present a direct threat to the health, safety, and/or well-being of themselves or others when using the services will not be allowed to continue their usage.

CAR will reasonably accommodate and give the same opportunities to qualified individuals with disabilities who apply to be drivers unless doing so causes a direct threat to these individuals or others while using the CAR TECHNOLOGY and if the perceived threat cannot be eliminated by reasonable accommodation or if the accommodation creates an undue hardship to CAR, other riders, drivers, or users. If you have any other questions or concerns about the ADA Policy, please feel free to contact the CAR help center.

XXI. TERM AND TERMINATION

This agreement shall be effective once you have created a user account. At any time, this agreement may be terminated by rider or driver by deleting and ceasing use of CAR TECHNOLOGY. Please note that even though this agreement has terminated, any and all covenants or provisions of this agreement that can legally survive termination shall continue in perpetuity or the longest period permitted by the applicable law.

Furthermore, CAR may terminate this agreement and/or deactivate your rider or driver account at any time without advance notice. This right to terminate shall include the following grounds without limitation:

the fact that you are no longer able to give services or are no longer able to operate the approved vehicle under the relevant laws, legislations, mandates, regulations, rulings, statutes, acts, codes, decrees, precedents, or by any other governmental requirements of the jurisdiction in the area of which you work in congruence with your local, regional, state, country, county, or areas laws; or
you fall below the CAR required star rating that is expected of you or the cancellation threshold.
CAR has the genuine conviction that these actions are completely essential in order to preserve the safety of the CAR community, the public, and/or any third parties.

XXII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

By entering into this agreement and using CAR TECHNOLOGY, you acknowledge and understand that you are obligated to seek a resolution to any and all allegations that you may have in reference to CAR on an individual basis through mandatory binding arbitration, as explained within this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from being involved in any class, cumulative, collective, shared, mutual, or representative action that you may have against CAR, and will also preclude you from becoming a part of or recuperating any benefits or relief from any ongoing or future class, cumulative, collective, shared, mutual, or representative action that has been brought against CAR by anyone else.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and CAR.
BOTH YOU AND CAR JOINTLY AGREE TO RELINQUISH ANY AND ALL RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO THE SETTLEMENT OF ANY DISAGREEMENTS, DISPUTES, CONFLICTS, CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, OR CONTENTIONS IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE, JURY, OR TRIAL BY JURY AND HAVE AGREED TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, as described below. This includes any disagreements, disputes, conflicts, claims, controversies, or contentions that emanate out of or are in relation to the terms of this agreement, or the existence, presence, breach, infringement, termination, obligation, enforcement, perception, interpretation, translation, or any validity thereof, or your access, connection, use, or admittance of the services at any time, no matter whether the offense took place before or after the date that you agreed to the specific terms of this agreement, they will be resolved by binding arbitration between you and CAR, and not in a court of law. This agreement to arbitrate any disputes, known as our “Arbitration Agreement” is administered by the Federal Arbitration Act and will endure even after the agreement terminates or if your agreement with CAR ends. ANY ARBITRATION THAT HAPPENS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL HAPPEN ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; ANY CLASS ARBITRATIONS, WHETHER COLLECTIVE, CUMULATED, CONSOLIDATED, CONJOINED, MUTUAL, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SHARED, OR CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS THAT HAVE BEEN SET FORTH. Any exclusion to this is strictly announced below and this Arbitration Agreement shall apply to all claims (as characterized below) between you and CAR, which includes any disputes to our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders. This Arbitration Agreement shall also apply to any claims between you and the CAR service providers, which includes any background check providers and/or payment processors, and these service providers are considered contracted third party beneficiaries to this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.
YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT YOU AND CAR BOTH HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRESENT DISPUTES OR CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER EXCLUSIVELY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, CUMULATIVE, COLLECTIVE ACTION, SHARED, MUTUAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER). YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT BOTH YOU AND CAR ARE RELINQUISHING THE RIGHT TO SEEK OR HAVE A DISPUTE DETERMINED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CUMULATIVE, COLLECTIVE, SHARED, MUTUAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. DESPITE THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED, THIS SUBSECTION (B) WILL NOT APPLY TO ANY REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT CLAIMS THAT ARE BROUGHT AGAINST CAR.
Rules Governing the Arbitration.
Any arbitration that is handled pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, otherwise known as the AAA Rules, that are in enforcement at the time that the arbitration is entered, as adjusted by the terms that have been set forth in this agreement. Copies of these rules can be accessed on the AAA’s website at www.adr.org/arb_med (the AAA Rules) or by calling the AAA whose phone number is 1-800-778-7879. If petitioned by you and if accurately based on the facts and precedence of the claims given notwithstanding the aforementioned, the arbitrator will have the ability to choose a different set of AAA Rules, but in no circumstances will the arbitrator be able to combine more than one person’s claims, nor will they be able to officiate over any form of class, cumulative, collective, shared, mutual, or representative case.
As part of the arbitration process, both you and CAR have the option for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is applicable to the dispute or claim. The arbitrator may allocate any individualized decisions that would be applicable in a court decision. The arbitrator will contribute a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s determination which will disclose the award given along with the judgements, findings, and outcomes on which the decision has been based upon.
Both of the parties involved acknowledge and agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, government, state, internal, or local court or agency, will have restricted authority to determine any claims or disputes regarding the analysis, interpretation, explanation, applicability, judgment, enforceability, formation, or appropriateness of this Arbitration Agreement. This includes any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void, invalid, or voidable. The arbitrator will also have the responsibility for deciding all threshold arbitrability arguments, including those arguments pertaining to whether the terms of this agreement are unconscionable, unethical, unjust, illusory, or immoral and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, postponement, delay, deferment, laches, stoppage, or estoppel.
The arbitrator will determine the validity of all disputes and claims in conformity with any pertinent law, and will honor all claims of entitlement or privilege that are recognized by the laws. The arbitrator will not be constrained or bound by any rulings in previously held arbitrations concerning different riders or drivers but is bound by rulings in previously held arbitrations in which the same rider or driver was involved to the extent that is enforced by any relevant laws. The arbitrator’s decision and any award given is final and binding and the judgment on the award concluded by the arbitrator may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction thereof, given that any award can be disputed or challenged in a court of able jurisdiction.
Any choice of law or other provision in the terms of this agreement notwithstanding, both parties agree, concede, accept, and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement confirms a matter involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will control its understanding, interpretation, translation, application, and enforcement and any proceedings in relation thereto. It is the binding agreement of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules will preempt all state laws to the fullest extent that is permissible by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are not found to cover any claim that may emerge under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that claim shall be determined under the laws of the State of Florida.
Process
Whichever party decides to begin arbitration has to give the other party a written demand for Arbitration as stated in the AAA Rules. (The AAA has a form called Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules which can be located at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The person that will be chosen as the Arbitrator will either be (a) a retired judge or (b) an attorney that is explicitly licensed to practice law in the State of Florida and will be decided by the parties involved from the roster of consumer dispute arbitrators that is provided by the AAA. In the event that the Parties involved are unable to settle upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of deliverance of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will assign the Arbitrator in concurrence with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Fees and Awards.
Your responsibility for the payment of any AAA filing, administrative, arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
Location, Procedure, and Manner of Arbitration.
Unless an agreement is made between you and CAR otherwise, any arbitration hearings between CAR and a Rider will occur in the place of the county of your billing address, and any arbitration hearings between CAR and a Driver will also occur in the county of which the Driver gives their Services. If AAA arbitration is not available in your county, you agree that the arbitration hearings will occur at the nearest accessible location for an AAA arbitration. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, CAR acknowledges and agrees that you may decide whether the arbitration will be handled exclusively on the basis of documentation that has been given to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as decided by the AAA Rules. In the event that your Claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be decided by the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator will have the ability to conduct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, accordant to the facilitated nature of the arbitration, which is also subject to the AAA Rules.
Along with the severability provisions that are described above, if at any time any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is determined to be illegal, unenforceable, or unlawful for any reason under relevant law that is not preempted by the FAA, the offending provision will be severed and the rest of the Arbitration Agreement will continue to have full force and effect. To the extent that any severed claims must therefore continue on a class, cumulative, collective, shared, mutual, or representative basis, these disputes or claims must therefore be litigated in a civil court of able jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and that both parties acknowledge and agree that the litigation of those disputes or claims will be stayed to await the outcome of any individual claims still being decided in arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision
The Arbitrator will disclose an award within the time frame detailed in the official AAA Rules. Any judgment on the arbitration award given may be entered in any court having able jurisdiction to do so. An Arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on all parties concerned. An Arbitrator’s determination and judgment thereon will have no precedential, complementary, or collateral estoppel.
