These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are made and effective as of the date signed (the “Effective Date”) between SKIP THE DITCHES INC. (the “Corporation”) and the undersigned (the “Passenger”). These Terms shall govern the access and use by the Passenger of all applications, websites, content, products and services (collectively, the “Products”), made available by the Corporation to the Passenger.
The Corporation may immediately, at its sole and unfettered discretion, terminate these Terms and cease access to the Products by the Passenger at any time and for any reason. Notice and explanation are not required by the Corporation.
Use of the Products
The Products include but are not limited to a technology platform that enables Passengers to use the Corporation’s mobile application to arrange and schedule transportation and/or logistical services with a driver (the “Contractor”). More specifically, the mobile application allows the Passenger to request that the Contractor either provides them transportation from one location to another or that the Contractor arrive at a location and drive the Passenger, in the Passenger’s vehicle, to another location (the “Service”). The Contractor may fulfill one of two roles when providing the Service to a Passenger; the Contractor may be the one to drive the Passenger, in the Passenger’s vehicle, to the requested location (the “Driver”) or the Contractor may simply drive the Driver to the initial location where the Passenger is waiting to be picked up and drop off the Driver (the “Chaser”). The Corporation does not provide any of the Services to the Passenger and all such Services are provided by the Contractor.
It is understood and agreed by the Corporation, the Passenger and the Contractor that these Terms do not create a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and either the Passenger or the Contractor. The Contractor is an independent contractor and is not an employee of the Corporation in any capacity. The Passenger acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation shall have no vicarious liability for any actions or negligence of the Contractor. Neither the Corporation nor the Contractor shall have the right or obligation to bind the other in any manner whatsoever.
In order to use the Products, the Passenger must register for and maintain a personal account with the Products (the “Account”). The Passenger agrees to ensure the personal information in the Account remains accurate and up to date at all times. The Passenger is responsible, in all capacities, for all activity that occurs under their Account. The Passenger agrees to maintain the security and secrecy of their Account username and password at all times. The Passenger may only have one Account.
The Passenger is responsible for obtaining the data network required to use the Products as designed. The Passenger is solely responsible for all rates and fees associated with the data usage and any other rates or fees associated with using the Products. The Passenger is responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware of devices necessary to access and use the Products and Account as designed. The Corporation does not guarantee or represent that the Products will function on any particular hardware or devices. The Corporation shall not be responsible for any malfunctions and delays associated with the use of the internet, data network or any electronic communication technologies.
Rates and Payment
Payments and rates are calculated before the ride request is sent out. Once the ride is accepted, rates will be charged accordingly. There will be a 5-minute window for cancellation of the ride without penalty. Anything over 5 minutes will result in a $20 dollar charge. No shows will be charged at full rate, forfeiting a refund option. All disputes will be handled with Skip the Ditches Inc. gift cards. All major credit cards are accepted within the app as payment.
Covenants and Guarantees of the Passenger
The Passenger represents and guarantees that:
Should it be made obvious to the Corporation or the Contractor at any time, including but not limited to while the Services are being provided to the Passenger, that the Passenger has breached any of the covenants and obligations of the Passenger under these Terms, the Services shall immediately be terminated at the sole cost of the Passenger. The Passenger shall be responsible for all charges and payments associated with the initial request for Services and all costs associated with the termination of the Services due to their breach of these Terms.
Personal Information
The Passenger hereby consents to the Corporation’s collection, use and/or disclosure of the Passenger’s personal information for any reasonable purpose related to or associated with the Passenger’s use of the Products. Nothing herein shall restrict or affect the Corporation’s ability to collective, use or disclosure the Passenger’s personal information without consent where otherwise authorized under the applicable personal information protection legislation. All information collected by the Products shall be stored and used in accordance with the Corporation’s Privacy Policy.
