Island Ride - Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 24th February 2022

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Island Ride Ltd, its parents, subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “Island Ride,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of the Island Ride application (the “Island Ride App”), website, and technology platform (collectively, the “Island Ride Platform”).

By entering into this Agreement, and/or by using or accessing the Island Ride Platform you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE ISLAND RIDE PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE ISLAND RIDE PLATFORM.

The Island Ride Platform

The Island Ride Platform provides a marketplace where, among other things, persons who seek transportation to certain destinations (“Riders”) can be matched with transportation options to such destinations. One option for Riders is to request a ride from drivers who are driving to or through those destinations (“Drivers”). Drivers and Riders are collectively referred to herein as “Users,” and the driving services provided by Drivers to Riders shall be referred to herein as “Driving Services.” As a User, you authorize Island Ride to match you with Drivers or Riders based on factors such as your location, the requested pickup location, the estimated time to pickup, your destination, User preferences, driver mode, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and/or rematch you with a Driver or Rider based on the same considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Driving Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. Each Driving Service provided by a Driver to a Rider shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.

Modification to the Agreement

Island Ride reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such modifications shall be binding on you only upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. Continued use of the Island Ride Platform or Driving Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. Unless material changes are made to the arbitration provisions herein, you agree that modification of this Agreement does not create a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration (if applicable).

Eligibility

The Island Ride Platform may only be used by individuals who have the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and are fully able and competent to satisfy the terms, conditions, and obligations herein. The Island Ride Platform is not available to Users who have had their User account temporarily or permanently deactivated. You may not allow other persons to use your User account, and you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your account. To use the Island Ride Platform, each User shall create a User account. Each person may only create one User account, and Island Ride reserves the right to deactivate any additional or duplicate accounts. Your participation in certain Island Ride programs and use of certain Island Ride products or services may be subject to additional eligibility requirements as determined by Island Ride.

By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

Charges

As a Rider, you understand that request or use of Driving Services may result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges for Driving Services include Fares and other applicable fees and surcharges, plus any tips to the Driver that you elect to pay. Island Ride has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing or quoting you a price for a specific ride at the time you make a request. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request (e.g., economy, extra seats, luxury) as described in the App. You are responsible for reviewing the applicable pricing page or price quote within the Island Ride App and shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.

Fares. There are two types of Fares, variable and quoted.

Variable Fares. Variable fares consist of a base charge and incremental charges based on the duration and distance of your ride. For particularly short rides, minimum fares may apply. Please note that we use GPS data from your Driver’s phone to calculate the distance traveled on your ride. We cannot guarantee the availability or accuracy of GPS data. If we lose signal we will calculate time and distance using available data from your ride.
Quoted Fares. . In some cases Island Ride may quote you a Fare at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the ride request is confirmed. If during your ride you change your destination, make multiple stops, or attempt to abuse the Island Ride Platform, we may cancel the fare quote and charge you a variable fare based on the time and distance of your ride. Island Ride does not guarantee that the quoted fare price will be equal to a variable fare for the same ride. Quoted Fares may include the Fees and Other Charges below, as applicable.

Fees and Other Charges.

Service Fee. You may be charged a “Service Fee” for each ride to help maintain the Island Ride Platform. This service fee is retained by Island Ride in its entirety. All fees and pricing are in Cayman Islands Dollars.
Prime Time. At certain times, including times of high demand for Driving Services (“Prime Time”), you acknowledge that Charges may increase substantially. For all rides with a variable fare, we will use reasonable efforts to inform you of any Prime Time increases in effect at the time of your request. For Quoted Fares we may factor in the Prime Time increases into the quoted price of the ride.
Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride you may cancel it through the Island Ride App, but note that in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You may also be charged if you fail to show up after requesting a ride. Once the initial ride request is sent through the app you may cancel the ride without penalty within (2) minutes of making the ride request. Rides cancelled after (2) minutes of making the ride request are subject to a charge equal to the Base Fare as shown in the app. Once a driver arrives on location they will notify you via the app, and they will wait for (5) minutes, after which time they may cancel the ride and a cancellation penalty equal to the Base Fare shall apply.
Wait Time. Once a driver has arrived on location and has made contact with you, they will wait for (5) minutes before wait time charges of CI $1.50 per minute will apply until the ride begins. After the ride starts, if you need to make a stop during your ride a wait time charge of $1.50 per minute will apply until the ride starts again.
Damage Fee. If a Driver reports that you have materially damaged the Driver's vehicle, you agree to pay a “Damage Fee” of up to $250 depending on the extent of the damage (as determined by Island Ride in its sole discretion), towards vehicle repair or cleaning. Island Ride reserves the right (but is not obligated) to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
Other Charges. Other fees and surcharges may apply to your ride, including: actual or anticipated airport fees, local fees, or event fees as determined by Island Ride or its marketing partners and processing fees for split payments. These other charges are not shared with your Driver unless expressly stated otherwise.
Tips. Following a ride, you may elect to tip your Driver in cash or through the Island Ride Platform. Any tips will be provided entirely to the applicable Driver.

General.

Facilitation of Charges. All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processor (e.g., Plug n Pay). Island Ride may replace its third-party payment processor without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the Island Ride Platform. With the exception of tips, cash payments are strictly prohibited. Your payment of Charges to Island Ride satisfies your payment obligation for your use of the Island Ride Platform and Driving Services. Island Ride may group multiple Charges into a single aggregate transaction on your payment method based on the nature of the Charges and/or the date(s) they were incurred. If you don't recognize a transaction, then check your ride receipts and payment history.
No Refunds. All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Island Ride Platform, any disruption to the Island Ride Platform or Driving Services, or any other reason whatsoever.
Coupons and Promotions. You may receive coupons that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges upon completion of a Ride. Coupons should be entered before the ride starts. Coupons are only valid for use on the Island Ride Platform, and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Coupons cannot be combined unless expressly provided otherwise, and if the cost of your ride exceeds the applicable credit or discount value we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the Ride. For quoted or variable fares, Island Ride may deduct the amount attributable to the Service Fee, or Other Charges before application of the coupon. Additional restrictions on coupons may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion or by clicking on the relevant coupon within the Promotions section of the Island Ride App.
Credit Card Authorization. Upon addition of a new payment method or each ride request, Island Ride may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the ride cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge, however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or prepaid card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.

Payments

If you are a Driver, offering services on behalf of a third-party company(employer) that has authorized you to do so within the Island Ride Platform, then that company will receive payment for the Services offered and you are subject to the terms and conditions of your employment agreement with that company. If you are a Driver, that works independently for yourself (not employed by a third-party company) then you will receive payment for your provision of Services.

All Fare payments are subject to an Island Ride Commission. You will also receive any tips provided by Users to you, and tips will not be subject to any Island Ride Commission. Island Ride will process all payments due to you through its third party payments processor. You acknowledge and agree that such amounts shall not include any interest and will be net of any amounts that we are required to withhold by law.

These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the Island Ride Platform, the Driving Services, Island Ride promotions, gift card, referrals or loyalty programs, any other goods or services made available through the Island Ride Platform, your relationship with Island Ride, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User Account or this Agreement, background checks performed by or on Island Ride’s behalf, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Island Ride, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under consumer protection laws; All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND ISLAND RIDE ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.

(b) Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND ISLAND RIDE MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND ISLAND RIDE BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any Claims, the class, collective, and/ or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

(c) Rules Governing the Arbitration

Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) pursuant to its procedural rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement.

As part of the arbitration, both you and Island Ride will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Riders or Drivers, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Rider or Driver to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Arbitration Fees and Awards.

The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands.

(e) Location of Arbitration.

Any arbitration hearings between Island Ride and a Driver/Rider will take place in the Cayman Islands.

(g) Optional Pre-Arbitration Negotiation Process.

Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and Island Ride may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and Island Ride.
