We may require this information to be updated from time to time.
Subject to 2.1, with effect from the Effective Date we grant to you a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the App as detailed in this Agreement.

Use of the App

You shall:

use the App in accordance with such specifications and guidance as we stipulate from time to time;

ensure the accuracy and completeness of all data input through the App;
use the App in accordance with: (i) clauses 3, 6, 8; (ii) any limits that we impose in respect of the App including in relation to data capacity and number of authorised users; and (iii) all Laws;

ensure that your use of the App complies with such security requirements specified by us from time to time;
only use the App in order to receive bookings for ground transportation services by logging in and leaving the App running. You shall ensure that you have logged out of the App or set your status to unavailable (or equivalent) when you no longer wish to receive such bookings; and
allow us to audit your compliance with this Agreement on reasonable notice, including allowing us access to your documentation and staff for this purpose.

You shall not:

use the App in any way which: (i) is abusive, harmful, threatening or defamatory or any other way that may cause offence; (ii) could be harmful to the End Customers, Introducers or other users of the App (including uploading any material that otherwise contains a virus, trojan horse or other malicious code); (iii) breaches any Laws or legal duty to a third party (including a duty of confidentiality) or which infringes a person's right to privacy; (iv) promotes discrimination or is likely to incite hatred; or (v) infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party;

transfer, temporarily or permanently, any of its rights under this Agreement; or
attempt to obtain, or assist third parties in obtaining, access to the App.

Introduction Services

You acknowledge that the App enables or assists End Customers to interact with, order and purchase ground transportation services from you. You acknowledge that any contract for such ground transportation services is between you and the relevant End Customer. We do not endorse any such End Customers and make no representation, warranty or commitment in relation to such End Customers and shall have no liability (whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) howsoever arising nor any obligation whatsoever in relation to any interaction between you and an End Customer and/or any contract entered into by you and an End Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not party to the contract for ground transportation services. We are introducing potential End Customers to you, communicating your acceptance of a booking request to the End Customer and passing through the relevant charge from the End Customer in accordance with clause 5.

Charges and Payment

When an End Customer requests ground transportation services, the App searches for third party providers who can fulfil the request. If you are able to fulfil the request, the App will provide an automated quote based on the information you provided under clause 2.1 (Journey Fee). We, or a third party introducer, shall invoice and charge the End Customer the Journey Fee on your behalf (raising a VAT invoice in your name to send to the End Customer) on completion of the request. In some cases we may also charge you an additional fee of 5% for introducing an End Customer journey to you (an Introduction Fee) and/or charge a third party introducer a licence fee for use of our technology in relation to such End Customer journey (a Licence Fee) (such Introduction Fee and Licence Fee each being a Transaction Fee). Where this is the case an amount equal to the: (i) Introduction Fee in relation to such End Customer will be added to the Journey Fee payable by the End Customer; and/or (ii) Licence Fee in relation to such End Customer shall be deducted from the Journey Fee paid by the End Customer. We shall collect the Introduction Fee from the End Customer at the same time as the Journey Fee and shall be entitled to retain an amount equivalent to the Transaction Fees from the monies paid by the End Customer. You acknowledge and agree that you have no right to any Licence Fee and that we are entitled to set off and retain an amount equivalent to the Introduction Fee from the amount paid by the End Customer in relation to any Journey in discharge of any Introduction Fee.
Any Journey Fees collected under clause 5.1 less the Licence Fees are held in an escrow account on your behalf. If you wish to claim such Journey Fees less the Licence Fees, you must confirm the bank details we hold are correct and how much you would like us to pay you out of the escrow account (Payment Request). Payment Requests are made via an online portal which we provide access to. You acknowledge that you cannot make a Payment Request which exceeds the amount held in the escrow account on your behalf less the admin fee discussed in clause 5.3 below.
Once we receive a valid Payment Request we will instruct our bank to pay you the relevant amount in accordance with the Payment Request. You will be charged a £5.00 admin charge for any such payments from the escrow account. The admin charge will be confirmed via the portal at the time you make a Payment Request and shall be deducted from your escrow account. For the avoidance of doubt, a Payment Request will not be fulfilled if there is not enough in the escrow account to cover the associated admin fee.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for ensuring that the bank details which we hold are correct and for notifying us of any changes to these. Subject to clause 10.3, we shall not be liable whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any loss which you or any third party suffers, directly or indirectly, as a result of us making a payment in accordance with a Payment Request.
All charges to you are exclusive of VAT which shall be added to the invoices at the appropriate rate.
We may increase the Licence Fee upon 30 days' prior notice to you and this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly.

Data protection

The expressions "personal data", "controller", "processor" and "process" bear the meaning given to that expression in GDPR.
Both parties shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Laws. This clause 6 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations under the Data Protection Laws.
The parties acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of clause 2.1:

each party is a controller for the personal data it processes in connection with this Agreement;
each party is responsible for its own compliance with its data protection obligations under Data Protection Laws with regard to its processing of personal data; and
the only personal data to be transmitted between the parties is Business Contact Data.

If a party (the Disclosing Party) discloses Business Contact Data to the other party (the Recipient), the Disclosing Party shall ensure that such disclosure is lawful.
The Recipient shall only process the Disclosing Party's Business Contact Data:

to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as is otherwise necessary to comply with a legal obligation; and
in compliance with Data Protection Laws.

In the event that clause 6.3.3 becomes or will become inaccurate or incomplete before the termination of this Agreement, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to vary this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable in order to: (i) reflect the personal data being transmitted between the parties; and (ii) ensure that the transmission and processing of such personal data complies with all applicable requirements under Data Protection Laws.

Intellectual Property Rights

All Intellectual Property Rights in and to the App and any Updates shall vest and remain vested in us or, as the case may be, any third party rights owner, and to the extent that you acquire any Intellectual Property Rights in the same you shall assign or procure the assignment of such Intellectual Property Rights with full title guarantee (free from all liens, charges, encumbrances and third party rights), to us or any relevant third party nominated by us. You shall execute all such documents and do such things as we may consider necessary to give effect to this clause.

Confidential Information

Subject to clause 8.2, each party to this Agreement (the Recipient) shall:

use the other party's (the Disclosing Party) Confidential Information solely for the performance of this Agreement; and
keep the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information strictly confidential and not, without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, disclose it to any other person.

The Recipient may disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information:

to its employees, officers, representatives, advisers, Introducers or End Customers who need to know such information for the purposes of exercising the Recipient's rights or carrying out its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement and the Recipient shall ensure that such persons comply with this clause 8.2;
as may be required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental or regulatory authority; and
if such information is public knowledge or already lawfully known to the Recipient (free of any obligation of confidentiality) at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes public knowledge other than by breach of any duty of confidentiality (contractual or otherwise).

Acknowledgments and Obligations

You acknowledge and agree that:

we may at any time suspend in whole or part, your access, to and/or use of the App: (i) in order to carry out any maintenance work; (ii) where you do not provide or update the information required under clause 2.1; (iii) where it is necessary to protect the App, our or any third party systems, Introducers and/or End Customers; or (iv) where you are in breach of clause 3, 4 or 6 and until we are satisfied that such breach has been rectified and that sufficient steps have been taken to ensure that such breach will not recur;

and in such circumstances we shall use reasonable commercial endeavours to let you know of such suspension in advance;

you are responsible for your hardware, content and any data uploaded through the App, for your access to the internet and for any and all liability that arises in connection with any unauthorised access to Your Systems or any activity using your usernames or passwords (whether authorised or not).

available on an uninterrupted basis or error-free; or

compatible with third-party software or equipment.

Neither we nor our suppliers give any warranties nor make any representations about results to be obtained from using the App.

To the extent permitted by law, we hereby exclude all warranties, terms and conditions, which may be implied by law, statue or otherwise.
You warrant that you, your drivers and your vehicles are fully licensed and insured to provide ground transportation services as required by local Laws.

Limits on liability

Subject to clause 10.3, in no event shall our aggregate liability (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise howsoever arising) and in respect of all claims, losses and damages arising under or in connection with this Agreement in each Year exceed the greater of: (i) the total transaction fees associated with the requests you have completed in such Year; or (ii) £1,000.

Subject to clause 10.3, under no circumstances shall we be liable under or in relation to this Agreement (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise howsoever arising) to you for any:

indirect or consequential loss or damage;
loss of profit;
loss of business or revenue;

You shall indemnify the relevant third party introducers against Losses arising out of or in connection with any claim from a third party (including End Customers) against the third party which arises out of your supply of ground transport services.

Force Majeure

A party will not be liable if delayed in or prevented from performing its obligations hereunder due to Force Majeure. The party affected by Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other party of the Force Majeure and its expected duration and use reasonable endeavours to minimise the effects of that event.

If, due to Force Majeure, a party is unable to perform a material obligation or is delayed in or prevented from performing its obligations for a continuous period of more than 30 days then the other party may, terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other.
