These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC applications, websites, technology, facilities, and platform (collectively, the “BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform”).
By entering into this Agreement, and/or by using or accessing the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement (including the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions in Section 17) and accept all of its terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement you cannot use our platform.
The BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC 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 rideshare drivers who are driving to or through those destinations (“Drivers”). Drivers, Riders, and any other individuals, excluding any Excluded Individuals, using the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform are collectively referred to herein as “Users,” and the driving services provided by Drivers to Riders, and other transportation related services provided by Drivers in connection with the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, shall be referred to herein as “Rideshare Services.” “BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Services” shall include any service provided by BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC pursuant to the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform (for clarity, BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Services does not include Rideshare Services or Third-Party Services). As a User, you authorize BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC to match and/or rematch 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, ride mode, driver mode, membership status, regulatory or other third-party requirements, user statistics, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match based on the same or other considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept
Rideshare Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. A separate agreement is formed between Drivers and Riders when the Rider accepts the Rideshare Services offered by the Driver.
BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC 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 BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform after any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of 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).
The BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC 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 BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC 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, you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your User account, and you may not use your User account on behalf of any third party, except as otherwise expressly permitted by BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC. To use the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, each User shall create a User account. Each person may only create one User account, and BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC reserves the right to deactivate any additional or duplicate accounts. Your participation in certain BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC programs and use of certain BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC services may be subject to additional eligibility requirements as determined by BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC. By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.
As a User, you understand that request or use of Rideshare Services, BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Services, or Third-Party Services may result in charges (“Charges”) to you and/or to an organization, if applicable. Charges to Riders and/or organizations, if applicable, for Rideshare Services include Fares (defined below) and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes, plus any tips to the Driver that you elect to pay. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by posting applicable pricing terms to your market’s BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Cities Page 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., shared, economy, extra seats, luxury) as described on your market’s BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Cities Page or within the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform. You are responsible for reviewing the applicable BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Cities Page or price quote within the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform and shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.
There are two types of Fares, quoted and variable. • Quoted Fares. When you make a ride request using the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC
Platform, BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC will quote you a Fare at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the ride request is confirmed. If your final destination is not the same as the destination in your ride request, or the time or distance of your ride differs substantially from your quoted fare, or if you attempt to abuse the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, we may, at BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC’s sole discretion and determination, cancel the fare quote and charge you a variable fare as described below. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC does not guarantee that the quoted fare price will be equal to a variable fare for the same ride. Quoted fares may include the Rideshare Service Fees and Other Charges below, as applicable. • Variable Fares. Variable fares consist of a base charge and incremental charges based on the time 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. In addition to the variable fare, the total cost of your ride may include the Rideshare Service Fees and Other Charges below, as applicable.
• Service Fee. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC may charge a “Service Fee” for each ride, as set forth on the applicable BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Cities Page.
• Prime Time. At certain times, including times of high demand for Rideshare Services (“Prime Time”), you acknowledge that Charges may increase substantially. For quoted fares, we may factor Prime Time increases into the quoted price of the ride.
• Priority Pickup and Wait & Save. In some cases, you may be able to select an expected pick up that is faster or slower than standard for a higher or lower Fare, respectively.
• Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride you may cancel it through the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, but note that in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC may also charge a fee if you fail to show up after requesting a ride.
• 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 BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC in its sole discretion), towards vehicle repair
or cleaning. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC reserves the right (but is not obligated) to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
• Abuse Fee. If we receive a credible report that you have misused or abused the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, you agree to pay an “Abuse Fee” of up to $250 as determined by BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC in its sole discretion. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC reserves the right (but is not obligated) to verify or otherwise require documentation of abuse prior to processing the Abuse Fee.
• Tolls. In some instances tolls, toll estimates, or return tolls may apply to your ride. Please see our Help Center and your market’s BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Cities Page for more information about toll charges. We do not guarantee that the amount charged by BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC will match the toll charged to the Driver, if any.
• Other Charges. Other fees and surcharges may apply to your ride, including, but not limited to: actual or anticipated airport fees, state fees, local fees, event fees, fuel surcharges, wait time fees, or distance surcharges as determined by BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC or its
marketing partners.
• Tips. Following a ride, you may have the opportunity to elect to tip your Driver in cash or through the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform. You may also elect to set a default tip amount or percentage through the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform. Any tips will be provided entirely to the applicable Driver.
Facilitation of Charges. All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processor. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC may replace its third-party payment processor without notice to you. Your payment of Charges to BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC satisfies your payment
obligation for your use of the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Services, Third-Party Services, and Rideshare Services. Certain Charges may be collectively billed as a single purchase transaction to your selected payment method based on the payment frequency indicated in your settings. If your primary payment method expires, is invalid, or if Charges to your primary payment method are unable to be processed for whatever reason, then you agree that BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC may charge your other available payment methods in the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform. If you don’t recognize a transaction, then check your ride receipts and payment history.
• No Refunds. All Charges are non-refundable except to the extent required by law. This norefund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, any disruption to the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Services, Third-Party Services, or Rideshare Services, or any other reason whatsoever.
• Coupons. You may receive coupons, credits, discounts, or other promotions (collectively, “Coupons”) that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges. Coupons are valid only for use on the BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Platform, and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law.
• Payment Card Authorization. Upon addition of a new payment method or each request for BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Services, Rideshare Services, or Third-Party Services, BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the Charges 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. BLYNKR TECHNOLOGIES LLC is not responsible for these charges and is unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.
