ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (INCLUDING IN A CLASS ACTION) to assert or defend your rights under these Terms (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court).

Any segments of this Agreement that are deemed unenforceable or inapplicable shall be removed from the Agreement, however, all remaining terms and conditions will still remain valid and enforced.

The “Last Updated Date” at the top of this Agreement may be the sole way in which we notify our Users of any updates to this Agreement.

Any updates or changes that are deemed disagreeable to you as a User will render your usage or access of the Platform unacceptable.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Consenting to the Terms of Use means that you agree to your requirement to resolve any claims made against TRYP individually and via the terms and conditions laid out in the following Arbitration Agreement. Any class, collective, or representative actions taken against TRYP will hereby be unwarranted. You may not participate in any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against TRYP by a third-party.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and TRYP

Any and all claims, controversies, and/or disputes that are in any way connected to the terms and conditions laid out in this Agreement as well as any connecting agreements and/or your use of the Platform or Services shall be resolved via arbitration between you and TRYP. You may not pursue action against TRYP surrounding any of the above issues in a court of law.

You hereby understand and consent to the fact that you and TRYP shall waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in any representative or class action proceedings (either as a plaintiff or class member). All arbitration shall take place on an individual basis unless expressly agreed upon in writing by both you and TRYP. Small claims court remains a valid venue in which either you or TRYP may retain the right to bring individual action. The same rights are retained for the seeking of injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any issues involving intellectual property rights as laid out in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all corresponding agreements.

Governing Law and Arbitration Rules

American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Is the organization which shall administer all arbitration between you and TRYP. This arbitration shall be performed according to the Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Rules”) as laid out by the AAA, excluding those which have been explicitly modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You can find a listing of all AAA Rules at www.adr.org/arb_med or via their phone number: 1-800-778-7879.

All interpretations, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement (which may include any claim of this Agreement’s validity) shall fall under the sole authority of the AAA acting as the arbitrator (“Arbitrator’). The relinquishing of this authority to the AAA dissolves the prior authority any federal, state, or local court or agency regarding this arbitration or the issues tied to it. All threshold arbitrability issues, which may include issues relating to the unconscionable or illusory nature of these Terms of Us, shall be the sole responsibility of AAA, the Arbitrator. The issues in the previous statement also include any defense to arbitration which may include waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Both parties hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern the interpretation and enforcement and any subsequent proceedings regarding said interpretation and enforcement due to the evidenced interstate transaction occurring as a result of this Arbitration Agreement. All state laws shall be preempted to the fullest legal extent by the FAA and AAA Rules as intended by both parties. The laws of the state of Nevada shall govern any issues that arise under this Arbitration Agreement which cannot be found within the FAA and AAA Rules.

Arbitration Process

A written Demand for Arbitration (as detailed in the AAA Rules) shall be required of any party who wishes to initiate arbitration and must be provided to the opposing party. You can find a form for the Demand for Arbitration at the Consumer Arbitration Rules section in www.adr.org or via phone at 1-800-778-7879. The Arbitrator provided by AAA may be one of the following: 1. An attorney that has as specific license to practice law in the state of Nevada and that is selected by both parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators; or 2. A retired judge. The AAA shall appoint an Arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules if both parties cannot agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of the delivery of the Demand for Arbitration.

Location and Procedure

Arbitration shall occur within Las Vegas, Nevada. Unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator deems that the arbitration requires a hearing, and if the claim does not exceed the limit of $10,000, then the arbitration will proceed based solely on the documents that TRYP and you submit to the Arbitrator. For any claims exceeding $10,000, the AAA Rules will dictate your right to a hearing. It is up to the Arbitrator, operating within the bounds of the AAA Rules, to govern and manage an exchange of information by the parties that is reasonable and consistent with the accelerated purpose of said arbitration.

Decision

The AAA Rules specify a time frame within which the Arbitrator will determine an award. Any court that has competent jurisdiction to hold the judgement of the arbitration award may be valid. Injunctive or declaratory relief may be award by the Arbitrator if it is only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent that is deemed necessary for the relief that is warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. All decisions made by the Arbitrator shall be final and all parties involved shall be bound to said decisions. Therefore, there shall be no precedential or collateral estoppel effect of the Arbitrator’s decision or judgement. Attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be compensated to the prevailing party in an arbitration in accordance with applicable law. TRYP waives any rights and shall not seek attorneys’ fees and expenses under the event that TRYP may be the prevailing party during an arbitration.

Costs of Arbitration

The AAA Rules shall be solely responsible for setting forth any necessary feels that you are responsible to pay for any AAA filing, administrative, and/or arbitrator fees.

Modifications or Amendments

A written notice of rejection within 30 days of the date of any changes made to this Arbitration Agreement is required for you to officially reject the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, notwithstanding the consent to be bound by the changes made to the Terms of Use in this overarching Agreement and all corresponding agreements. This written notice must be submitted to TRYP by mail, by hand, or by email from the email address associated with your TRYP Account to: [email protected]. Inclusion of your full name and a clear indication of your rejection to the changes that have been made to this Arbitration Agreement are required within this written notice. Any rejection of changes made to this Arbitration Agreement shall mean the rejecting party consents to the provisions of the Arbitration Agreement specified at the date and time that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all corresponding agreements were initially consented to by said party.

Severability and Survival

In the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed unenforceable or unlawful for any reason whatsoever, the following actions will ensue. 1. The severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall not impact the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the ability of either party to enact arbitration of any claims that may remain on an individual basis (which is pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement) in any way whatsoever. 2. The portion or provision of this Arbitration Agreement that is under question shall be stricken from these Terms of Use. 3. The claims that fall outside of the umbrella of the remaining Arbitration Agreement and the AAA Rules must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. These claims shall not be made in arbitration and any individual claims that remain in arbitration shall bear no effect on these individual claims.

It is the sole responsibility of the User to access any data or network that may be necessary for the functionality of the Platform and Services. TRYP is not responsible for any fees or rates applied to this access via your mobile device and/or the applicable network or data provider associated with your connection. There is no guarantee or liability on the part of TRYP that any or all of the Services and the Platform shall be accessible at any specific point or for any specific reason. Please review the Disclaimers section for further information regarding access to the TRYP Platform.

Payments and Refunds

TRYP will assist you in establishing your own merchant account that will process all payments due to you. As a Driver, you will receive 100% of the Base Fare as determined by the current Compensation Plan and any tips provided by Riders to you for the Services you provide. 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. TRYP works hard to ensure that legitimate Riders are matched with legitimate Drivers. Fraud and abuse do take place by both Drivers and Riders and TRYP will attempt to investigate any claim of fraud or abuse. Although TRYP takes steps, such as pre-authorization and pre-checking the validity of a Rider’s credit card, there is no guarantee that a Rider’s payment will be successfully made and therefore you bear the risk of not receiving the payment, not TRYP. Where a Driver has given a successful ride to a Rider, but the Rider’s payment is not made for some reason, TRYP will immediately investigate. If TRYP determines that its assessment and screening were insufficient to protect the Driver, then TRYP will cover the payment to the Driver. Likewise, if a Rider makes a payment to a Driver but the Rider did not receive the Services as intended, TRYP will investigate and has the discretion to refund the fare or credit the account of Riders for a ride. If we refund the fare or credit a Rider account for a ride you provided, you will not be paid for the portion of the ride that was refunded or credited. If you have already received payment for a refunded/credited ride, TRYP has the right to seek immediate repayment from you. TRYP’s third-party payment processor maintains statistics on chargebacks. Should the Driver exceed reasonable or acceptable chargeback ratios, your merchant account could be suspended or terminated by the merchant account provider.

As a Rider, you agree to pay TRYP, and permit TRYP to retain, a fee (the “Booking Fee”) based on each transaction in which you utilize any of TRYP’s Services. The amount of the applicable Booking Fee will be communicated in a Booking Fee schedule. TRYP reserves the right to change the Booking Fee at any time at TRYP’s discretion based upon local market factors. Changing the Booking Fee in the Booking Fee schedule will constitute notice in the event of such change. Continued use of the TRYP Platform after any such change in the Booking Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.

Certain trips and fare destination or pickup require the payment of fees and/or tolls (i.e. airport fees). To the extent that these fees/tolls are paid by the Rider, the Driver acknowledges that these receipts will be retained by TRYP for payment to the appropriate legal authority.

Damages and Maintenance

Users are solely responsible for any costs associated with the damage, maintenance, and/or loss of any and all property (including vehicles) that may fall under the umbrella of the Services, the Platform, or under your User account. See the Disclaimers section for more information regarding faults and liability for repairs, cleaning, losses, and fees.
