Terms of Use
Effective: February 22, 2019
1. Contractual Relationship
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access or use, from within the United States and its territories and possessions, of the applications, websites, content, products, and services (the "Services," as more fully defined below in Section 3) made available in the United States and its territories and possessions by Infinite Peripherals, Inc. and its parents, subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, "IPC"). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND IPC. In these Terms, the words "including" and "include" mean "including, but not limited to."
By creating an account, accessing or using the Services, you confirm your agreement to be bound by these Terms and IPC's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. These Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you and shall govern your entire relationship with IPC. IPC may immediately terminate these Terms or any Services with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Services or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH IPC ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.
IPC may amend the Terms from time to time. Amendments will be effective
upon IPC's posting of such updated Terms at this location or in the amended
policies or supplemental terms on the applicable Service(s). If the changes
include material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will
notify you in advance of the changes by reasonable means, which could
include notification through the Service or via email. Your continued
access or use of the Services after such changes confirms your consent to
be bound by the Terms, as amended.
2. Arbitration Agreement
By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against IPC on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against IPC, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against IPC by someone else.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and IPC
You and IPC agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and IPC, and not in a court of law.
You acknowledge and agree that you and IPC are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and IPC otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and IPC each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and 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 a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Rules and Process
Any such disputes, controversies or differences that are not settled by mutual agreement shall be finally and exclusively settled by binding confidential arbitration in accordance with the then-current Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (the "JAMS Rules"), in effect as of the date of submission of the arbitration demand to JAMS ("JAMS") as modified or amended by the terms and conditions contained in this Section 2. All proceedings hereunder shall be administered by JAMS and conducted in Chicago, Illinois. Illinois substantive and procedural law will apply at the arbitration, except as set forth herein. All arbitration proceedings hereunder will be subject to the following.
The parties agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
The number of arbitrators will be one. The appointment of the arbitrator will be governed by the JAMS Rules; provided, that the arbitrator selected must (i) have such knowledge and practical experience in business and commercial matters concerning the subject matter of this Agreement that he is capable of evaluating on a practical as well as theoretical level the issues involved in the proceedings, and (ii) agree to serve for a per day fee not greater than the median per diem arbitrator rate charged by the JAMS office in Chicago, Illinois, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. In the event that the parties cannot agree on a choice of arbitrator by the close of business on the 30th day following the due date of the original response, JAMS shall select the arbitrator; and JAMS shall do so exercising its sole and exclusive discretion, limited only by the requirements contained in this Section 2.
Discovery shall be conducted on an expedited basis and in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in effect as of the date of submission of the arbitration demand to JAMS. Each party's discovery shall be further limited to.
- No more than 20 interrogatories, including discrete subparts, by any one party;
- No more than 50 requests for production, including discrete subparts, by any one party;
- No more than three depositions by any one party;
- No more than ten documents subpoenas by any one party; and
- No more than three witnesses, including expert witnesses, may be called by any one party;
Subject to the limitations set forth above, any person being deposed will be entitled to be represented by counsel. Any such deposition will be conducted in the locality where the person being deposed ordinarily carries out his or her duties.
Fees and Awards
Fees and expenses of the arbitrator and of the appointing and administering authority will be borne equally by the parties. The expenses of witnesses called by a party will be borne by such party; the expenses of any witnesses called by the arbitrator will be borne equally by the parties. All other costs of the arbitration proceedings (including, without limitation, costs associated with production of documents and the cost of any stenographic record) will be borne equally by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prevailing party in any arbitration in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs incurred by such party in connection with any such arbitration.
Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement as the case may be.
Severability and Survival
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
3. The Services
IPC provides a technology platform that may be accessed by authorized users via mobile applications (the "Applications"), certain text-based messaging protocols ("Text Services"), and IPC-authorized web interfaces or websites ("Websites" and, together with Applications and Text Services, "Software"), and enables certain persons ("Riders") in certain locations in the United States to, among other things, locate, hail, book and hire taxicabs and/or other for-hire vehicles (any such taxi or other for-hire vehicle, a "Taxi"), pay for a Taxi ride, and track certain Taxi rides and related expenses through a supported computing device, and enables certain other persons ("Drivers") associated with certain Taxi owner or operators in certain locations in the United States to connect with Riders, calculate the fee owned by Riders for completed Taxi rides, and facilitate payment of fares by Riders for Taxi rides and the Drivers' provision of chauffeur for-hire services. Using certain Software, you can store your payment information, set your tip preferences, and view all of your past trips and receipts. Riders and Drivers are collectively referred to herein as "Users."

While IPC verifies the status of each Driver, IPC does not screen or otherwise perform background checks on Drivers. Such background screening of Drivers is the sole responsibility and obligation of such Driver's Taxi company or other operator. IPC SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE FITNESS OF ANY DRIVER OR TAXI TO PROVIDE CHAUFFEUR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO WHETHER DRIVER HAS PASSED ANY BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENING OR IS OTHERWISE LICENSED AND ABLE TO PROVIDE CHAUFFEUR SERVICES.
