You are responsible for regularly reviewing this Agreement. Continued use of the NTS Rider App Platform after any such changes shall constitute User consent to such changes.

USE OF OUR SERVICE

AT YOUR SOLE AND VOLUNTARY DISCRETION, YOU ARE ELECTING TO INSERT AN ORDER FOR SERVICE (“A REQUEST”) WITH THE TAXI COMPANY THROUGH THE NTS RIDER APP INSTEAD OF THROUGH OTHER AVAILABLE MEANS, SUCH AS BY CALLING THE TAXI COMPANY DIRECTLY BY TELEPHONE OR USING THE TAXI COMPANY’S WEBSITE. BY INSERTING A REQUEST, USER AGREES TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

ELIGIBILITY

Any use or access to the NTS Rider App  by any person under 18 years of age is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The NTS Rider App is not available to, or authorized for use by, any Users previously removed from the NTS Rider App by the taxi company, any Users or persons acting on behalf of an organization or entity and is not in his or her personal or individual capacity, or any Users accessing the NTS Rider App for any purpose other than to seek to participate in an actual ride for personal purposes, unless specifically authorized by the taxi company (collectively “Unauthorized Users”). Unauthorized Users are strictly prohibited from accessing or attempting to access, directly or indirectly, the NTS Rider App.

NTS RIDER APP LICENSE

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, User are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the NTS Rider App for personal, noncommercial use only. The taxi company may terminate this license at any time for any reason.

OUR CONTENT

Except for User User Content, the NTS Rider App and all materials therein or transferred thereby, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, music, and User Content belonging to other Users (the “NTS Rider App Content”), and all intellectual property rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of NTS and its licensors (including other Users who post User Content to the Service). Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a license in or under any such intellectual property rights, and User agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any NTS Rider App Content. Use of the NTS Rider App Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited.

FARE CALCULATION

Fares may be charged by way of either the live taximeter, which calculates the fare based upon the actual time elapsed and/or distance travelled during the trip, or, by way of an Upfront Price, as described below.  Whether the taximeter or upfront price is used is within the sole discretion of the taxi company providing the requested transportation.

 The NTS Rider App contains a feature that estimates the final price for a trip (the “Upfront Price”) using the passenger’s entered pickup address, the passenger’s entered drop off address, and a third-party mapping service that supplies live traffic and suggested routing information for User trip. You acknowledge and authorize the NTS Rider App  to send User trip information to the third-party mapping service for the purposes described in this section. These data points are used in an algorithm to compute the Upfront Price based on a combination of the anticipated distance to be driven and anticipated travel time between the entered pickup address and the entered drop off address while prioritizing the fastest route available according to the mapping service. Each fare calculated using an Upfront Price includes a technology fee not to exceed $1.00 that will be charged to the passenger and paid to the taxi company, not the driver. 

 You acknowledge that traffic conditions change constantly and unpredictably, and that incidents can occur that will significantly affect User driving time and distance that are completely outside the control of the driver. The driver may exercise independent judgment regarding how to safely and expeditiously transport User in ways that may increase the time and/or distance traveled. In addition, the User acknowledges that the User may occasionally change the drop off point, either due to a change of mind or a mistake in entry. If, at the time of booking a ride, the User selects to pay using a stored credit card in the NTS Rider App, the User agrees to allow the taxi company to attempt to immediately charge the User credit card for the remaining owed amount of the final trip fare. 

 In some cases, passengers elect to add a stop while on their trip to a previously entered order. In these cases, the NTS Rider App  will attempt to recalculate the fare for the entire trip, including the additional stop requested by the passenger.  You acknowledge that, in such cases, the price will be adjusted for adding the additional stop to the trip route as well as any time the driver must wait for the passenger while at the stop. You agree to pay for all additional fare and fees calculated for User additional stop. If, at the time of booking a ride, the User selects to pay using a stored credit card in the NTS Rider App, the User agrees to allow the taxi company to attempt to immediately charge the User credit card for the remaining owed amount of the final trip fare. 

 Finally, If User elect to terminate the trip before reaching User’s stated destination, User will nevertheless be charged the Upfront Price. By agreeing to the upfront price, the customer is agreeing to pay this upfront price amount even if they elect to terminate their trip before reaching their stated destination. By agreeing to this Terms of Service, the User agrees to waive all rights to being charged a lower price if the User elects to terminate their trip before reaching the User’s stated destination. However, if the User is not satisfied with the final price that they were changed, they may contact our Customer Care team by sending an email to support@rideyellow.com and including as much trip information as possible, so that we can review the eligibility of their trip for a partial refund. 

PAYMENTS, FEES, GRATUITY, PROMOTIONS, AND PRE-AUTHORIZATIONS 

 Payment of fares as computed in the foregoing section are due immediately at the conclusion of the trip and are non-refundable. 

 If, at the time of booking User ride, the User selects to pay using a stored credit card in the NTS Rider App and in order to ensure that the credit card selected by the User for payment has sufficient remaining credit to pay for the full fare of the requested trip, the NTS Rider App will immediately preauthorize the User’s selected credit card for the trip for the combined payment amount of the Upfront Price, any fees, and any gratuity (driver tip) applied to the trip (as discussed below). The preauthorization process will, in all cases, reduce the amount of remaining credit available on the User’s credit card. In the event that the preauthorization process fails, the User will be prevented from entering their order via the NTS Rider App unless the User selects a different credit card to be charged for the the trip that has sufficient credit or if the User selects “Pay in Cab” as their payment option, in which case, the User will be obligated to pay for the trip either in cash or via the vehicle’s onboard credit card processing equipment. 

 If a User who books a ride with the NTS Rider App and who chooses to pay with a stored credit then decides to cancel their ride prior to the ride commencing, the preauthorized funds will be made void within fourty-eigth (48) hours of the ride cancellation, minus any cancellation fee. Similarly, if a User’s final payment amount for a completed trip turns out to be less than the preauthorized amount that was charged for the trip for any reason, then the surplus preauthorized credit will be made void and/or released within fourty-eight (48) hours. 

 In the event that the final fare is recalculated due to traffic conditions, adding a stop or extra such as an airport surcharge, additional waiting time, or a change in tip amount, and where the total amount to be charged exceeds the available credit on the User’s credit card, User acknowledges that the NTS Rider App will charge the User’s credit card for the previously preauthorized amount, and User will be required to pay the remaining owed amount either in cash or via the vehicle’s onboard credit card processing equipment.

 For Users who book a ride with the NTS Rider App and choose to pay with a stored credit card, the app offers the ability for the User to change from the credit card they had selected at the time of booking to different a credit card while the trip is in progress for the purpose of charging this different credit card for the final trip payment. Our system will attempt to charge this different credit card at the end of the trip. However, if the charge attempt is declined for any reason, including insufficient funds, then our system will charge the credit card that was selected and preauthorized at the time of booking the ride. 

 In the event that the User cancels or withdraws a Request on the NTS Rider App more than five (5) minutes after the Request is accepted by a driver, User agrees to pay a nonrefundable Five Dollar ($5) cancellation fee, which will be paid to the driver.

 By using the NTS Rider App, User acknowledges that tipping is a customary practice in the taxicab industry.  The NTS Rider App contains a default gratuity (driver tip) that is set by the taxi company that will apply whenever a User pays with a registered credit card in the NTS Rider App. The charge for the fare plus the default gratuity will be preauthorized on the User’s credit card at the time the order is entered. The NTS Rider App also provides the ability for Users to either set their own default gratuity (including to zero if desired), or, when using a registered credit card for payment and after a trip commences, to change the default or User-entered gratuity for that trip to any desired amount. Gratuities cannot be changed after the trip is complete; once the driver ends the trip. 

 Participating taxi companies may have a policy which requires passengers to pay a cleaning or repair fee in the event any passenger causes damage or soils the taxicab beyond normal wear and tear. Users and passengers will be responsible for any cleaning or repair of any damage or destruction of the vehicle or any part thereof, or from the results of any behavior that renders the vehicle unable to be used for the transportation of passengers or goods, that is caused by User, or any passenger riding on a trip secured by User hereunder.

 The taxi company reserves the right to at its sole discretion, make promotional offers with different features to any User. These promotional offers have rules that may limit their application, and applicable discounts under such offers may be used to reduce the fare owed for a trip.

 All information that the User provides in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the NTS Rider App and with the taxi company’s service in general must be accurate, complete, and current. The User agrees to pay all charges incurred on User’s credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the NTS Rider App and the taxi company service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred.

 To ensure proper payment, the User is solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with the User account. If User disputes any payment made hereunder, User must notify the taxi company that serviced User trip in writing (User can send an email to: support@rideyellow.com) within thirty (30) days of such payment. Failure to notify the taxi company within thirty (30) days shall result in the User automatically waiving any claim relating to such disputed payment. A User’s trip payment as well as any evaluation of a partial or full refund of any given trip payment shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by the taxi company. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by the taxi company or have any effect under this Agreement.

CONSENT TO RECEIVE AND SEND TEXT MESSAGES

 The NTS Rider App communicates with Users through text messages. Users may be charged by their mobile provider for the receipt of such messages and by use of the NTS Rider App, Users automatically acknowledge and consents to receipt of text messages generated by their use of the NTS Rider App. 

TERMINATION

 Users may at any time terminate and delete their account by simply uninstalling the NTS Rider App from their mobile device. Upon uninstallation of the app from the User’s mobile device, all records of past ride bookings made by the User on the NTS Rider App along with any and all trip data associated with those records will not be deleted from our system.

USER ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS

 For all NTS Rider App User accounts, no person (User, passenger, or other persons) may ever use any User’s account without permission. When creating a User account, the User must provide accurate and complete information. The User is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on their User account. If any breach of security or unauthorized use of a User account occurs, the User must notify us immediately by emailing us at support@rideyellow.com. NTS nor any of our partner taxi companies will be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of a User’s account.

 

USER ACCESS TO THE SERVICE

 Without prior notice, NTS and it’s partner taxi companies may change a User’s level of access to the NTS Rider App or any portion thereof, including but not limited to stopping entire access to or use of the NTS Rider App or features thereof and/or creating User usage limits for the NTS Rider App. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend User access to the NTS Rider App without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination User violates any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason whatsoever. Upon a User’s termination for any reason or no reason, the User continues to be bound by this Agreement.

Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Mobile Software is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license, or End User License Agreement, if any, authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the Mobile Software or any copy thereof, and NTS and its third party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in the Mobile Software (and any copy thereof). Any attempt by User to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, is void.

GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION

 Governing Law, Venue. You agree that: (i) use of the NTS Rider App shall be deemed solely based in the state of Florida, and (ii) the NTS Rider App shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over the taxi company, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Florida. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Florida, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Broward County, Florida for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below.

 Arbitration. For any dispute with the taxi company, the User agrees to first contact us at support@rideyellow.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the event that the User and the taxi company are not able to resolve the dispute informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims by the taxi company for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Arlington County, Virginia, unless User and the taxi company agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS ALL PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE TAXI COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by the User, but may be assigned by the NTS and its partner taxi companies without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES AND CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT

The taxi company may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to User via email notice, written or hard copy notice, “push” mobile notification including but not limited to SMS text messages, as determined by the taxi company at our sole discretion. The taxi company reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that the User may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Agreement. The taxi company is not responsible for any automatic filtering User or User network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address User provides us.

If a court of competent jurisdiction deems any provision of this Agreement invalid, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

NO WAIVER

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and the taxi company’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
