Flok’s collection and use of your personal information regarding the Site or Services is governed by Flok’s Privacy Policy.

You may not authorize third parties, including persons under the age of 18, to use your User Account. Drivers may not allow persons under the age of 18 to receive their transportation services.

 

(c)            You agree and accept that all of the information you provide to Flok when setting up your User Account and at any other time will be true, complete and accurate in all respects. You also agree that any information supplied to Flok or posted on the Site in connection with any Booking, Trip, Vehicle or Ridesharing will be true accurate and complete and, if the Additional Services are offered, may be shared with Stripe in accordance with Section 1(f).

 

(d)           Flok will not be liable to you in the event that any information you or any other User provides is incomplete, inaccurate, misleading or fraudulent.

 

(e)            Unless expressly agreed by Flok, you are limited to one User Account. No User Account may be created on behalf of or in order to impersonate another person. You also may not assign or otherwise transfer your User Account to any other person or entity.

 

(f)             Users may be reviewed by other Users with whom they have Booked a Rideshare.

 

4.2          Posting and Booking a Rideshare

                                                                                                                             

(a)            The Driver posts details of his or her trip (“Trip”) on the Site, specifying date and time for departure and destination points, the number of available seats (each, a “Seat”) in the Driver’s vehicle (“Vehicle”) the amount of the estimated cost contribution (“Cost Contribution”) per Seat,  and all other relevant travel conditions.

 

(b)           The Cost Contribution and Total Cost Contribution will vary depending on the number of Seats ultimately Booked for the Trip. If more Seats are Booked, the Cost Contribution and Total Fees per Seat will decrease, but the aggregate amount collected by the Driver will increase; if less Seats are Booked, the Cost Contribution and Total Fees will increase per Seat, but the aggregate amount collected by the Driver will decrease.

 

(c)            Passengers will see the Trip information and the Total Cost Contribution based on the current number of Seats Booked for such Trip, and the possible range of the Total Cost Contribution (“Contribution Range”) based on the total number of Seats in the Vehicle.

 

(d)           When a Passenger Books a Seat, such Passenger agrees to pay any amount within the Contribution Range (subject to the cancellation provisions).

 

(e)            The Passenger books (“Books”) a Seat for a Trip with the Driver by entering their credit card (“Credit Card”) information (if the Services include the Additional Services) and/or clicking the “BOOK NOW” button.

 

(f)             An email confirmation is sent to each of the Driver and the Passenger confirming a booking (“Booking”), upon which: (i) the Booking is a complete and separate binding agreement for Ridesharing between the Driver and Passenger; and, (ii) if the cancellation services are offered, the Driver and the Passenger shall be bound by the cancellation provisions.

 

(g)            The Driver may remove a Passenger or Passengers from a Trip prior to departure or cancel the Trip altogether. To do so, the Driver must contact Flok customer service within 24 hours of any such Passenger or Passengers Booking such Trip. If the Additional Services are offered, the cancellation provisions will apply.

 

(h)           The Booking is personal to the Driver and the Passenger. The identity of the Driver and the Passenger must match the identity provided by each of them to Flok, and each Passenger and Driver agrees to confirm the other party’s identification prior to commencing the Trip. A User shall be entitled to cancel a Trip if the identity of the other party does not match what has been provided by that party, as appearing on the Site. If a User’s identity does not match such User’s identity provided to Flok, such User will be deemed to have cancelled the Trip pursuant to the applicable sub-section of 4.5(b), and the Total Cost Contribution or Net Cost Contribution will be refunded or allocated, as applicable, if the other party contacts Flok customer service within one hour of such deemed cancellation.

 

4.3          Cost Contribution, Booking Fees, Payment

 

(a)            The Cost Contribution is determined by the Driver and is intended to be a reimbursement to the Driver, rather than a profit as prohibited hereunder.

(b)           If the Services do not include the Additional Services, the Passenger will pay the Cost Contribution to the Driver in cash at the conclusion of the Trip.

(c)            If the Additional Services are offered:

(i)        Flok may collect additional fees (the “Booking Fees”) from both Passengers (the “Passenger Booking Fee”) and Drivers (the “Driver Booking Fee”)  pursuant to these Conditions in respect of each Seat.

(ii)       The Passenger Booking Fee will be added to the Cost Contribution payable by a Passenger and such aggregate value (“Total Cost Contribution”) will be displayed on the Site. 

(iii)     The Driver Booking Fee will be deducted from the Cost Contribution paid to the Driver, and the Driver will be paid such net amount (“Net Cost Contribution”).

(iv)     Subject to the cancellation provisions, 24 hours prior to the Trip, the Credit Card will be pre-authorized with the Total Cost Contribution (based on the current number of Seats Booked for the Trip). One hour after the scheduled start time of the Trip, the Credit Card will be charged with the Total Cost Contribution amount (based on the number of Seats Booked for the Trip at the commencement of the Trip).

(d)          Sales tax is applicable on Booking Fees and payable by the User based on the tax applicable in the jurisdiction from where the transaction occurs (the “Destination”).  Regarding cross-border trips, please note that the applicable tax rate depends on the departure point or the arrival point of the Trip.

4.4          Payment Service

(a)            If the Additional Services are offered, you agree that payment processing services will be provided by Stripe, pursuant to Section 1(f). As a Passenger, you agree that the applicable Cost Contribution, Total Cost Contribution, Booking Fees and/or sales tax will be processed by Stripe through the Site and charged to the Credit Card. Flok will automatically transmit you tokenized Credit Card and payment information to Stripe. Through this process, this information may be provided to financial institutions, processors, payment card associations, and other entities that are part of the payment or transfer process including Stripe, and you payment information may be transferred, processed and stored outside Canada or the United States on servers in Canada, the United States, or other countries, and may be subject to disclosure as required by applicable law. As a Driver, you agree that payments due to you will be processed by Stripe through the Site and deposited to the bank account linked to your User Account. Please see the Stripe Privacy Policy for additional information on how Stripe handles information: https://stripe.com/ca/privacy (Canada). 

(b)           Flok shall not be liable to the Driver for any loss resulting in the failure to pay the Driver if for any reason whatsoever, any payments payable by the Passenger are not received by the Driver or are required to be returned to the Passenger, such as in the event of insufficient funds, fraudulent use of the Credit Card, the card company or bank of the Passenger failing to process correctly the payment or a failure on Flok’s side to take or make a payment when it is outside Flok’s reasonable control. The Driver undertakes to return to Flok on demand any amount received in such circumstances.

(c)            No payment may be made to a Driver on a User Account that has not been opened in the Driver’s own name.

4.5          Cancellation Service

(a)            If the Additional Services are offered, Flok may provide a cancellation service to assist in reducing the risks of a cancellation of a Trip or non-payment of the Cost Contribution. However, nothing in these Conditions shall impose on Flok any liability to any Users for the occurrence of any of those risks other than withholding or paying the Net Cost Contribution as set out below. The cancellation service may:

(i)             entitle a Driver to receive the Net Cost Contribution in the event of a late cancellation by a Passenger if the conditions set out below are met; or

(ii)           ensure that the Net Cost Contribution is received by the Driver only when the Rideshare has been performed by the Driver if the conditions set out below are met.

(b)           The Driver and the Passenger agree to the following conditions relating to the payment of any refund to the Passenger or compensation to the Driver (whether in full or in part) relating to the cancellation of a Trip after the Booking Confirmation:

(i)             Where the cancellation of a Trip is caused or deemed to have been caused by the Driver under these Conditions, the Passenger shall be entitled to a full refund of any fees paid by the Passenger including the Passenger Booking Fee.

(ii)           Where the cancellation of a Trip is caused or deemed to have been caused by the Passenger under these Conditions (but without prejudice to the other provisions set out in these Conditions):

                                               i.     If the Passenger cancels on the Site more than 24 hours before the agreed departure time, the Passenger shall be entitled to a full refund of any fees paid by the Passenger including the Passenger Booking Fee. As the result, the Driver shall not be entitled to any compensation.

                                              ii.     If the Passenger cancels on the Site less than 24 hours before the agreed departure time or if the Passenger does not present himself or herself at the pick-up point within 30 minutes of the agreed departure time, the Driver shall be entitled to receive the Net Cost Contribution. As a result, the Passenger shall be charged with the Total Cost Contribution and shall not be entitled to any refund.

(c)            Any Seats that become available following a cancellation by a Passenger under these Conditions shall automatically become available to other Passengers for online Booking on the Site and therefore subject to these Conditions.

(d)           An email will be sent to the Driver or Passenger(s), as applicable, upon cancellation of a Trip or Booking by a User. Other than the foregoing, Flok will not contact either party and will take no steps whatsoever to manage the Booking. Ridesharing is managed between the Driver and Passengers that are parties to each Rideshare.

(e)            Flok reserves the right not to offer the cancellation service to a Trip at its sole discretion.

(f)              Flok reserves the right to limit the number and / or class of Users eligible to the cancellation service for any Trip.

(g)            If you cancel a Trip or a Booking through the Site before the scheduled departure time, you will not receive reviews by the other party(ies) to such Rideshare. If you do not show up and do not cancel through the Site, you may still receive reviews by the other party(ies) to such Rideshare.

 

4.6          No Commercial Activity

 

(a)            The Site and the Services are strictly limited to providing a Ridesharing connection service in a private capacity. The Site and the Services may not be used to connect Drivers and Passengers to car share, offer or accept Ridesharing for profit or in any commercial or professional context.

 

(b)           Drivers must not profit from any trip. The Services and the Cost Contribution may only be used to discharge the Driver’s costs and may not be used to generate any profit for the Driver. The Driver is not entitled to make profit by virtue of the amount of the Cost Contribution, the types of Trips offered by a Driver, the frequency of such Trips or the number of Passengers transported. This applies to all activities, arrangements and Services booked using the Site and any additional services or activities which may be agreed between Driver and Passenger. More information regarding the cost of transportation is available here.

 

(c)            YOU ARE REMINDED THAT RIDESHARING IN A COMMERCIAL OR PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY MAY INVALIDATE THE LICENSING OR INSURANCE OF A DRIVER OR VEHICLE. Flok’s liability is limited in accordance with these Conditions and in particular Flok is not liable in respect of any breach of any Rideshare, agreement or arrangement between Users or breach by a User of these Conditions including where any Driver (in breach of these Conditions) offers a Trip through the Site in a professional or commercial capacity (thereby potentially invalidating their insurance). It is up to Users to be vigilant in ensuring that Ridesharing is not provided on a commercial basis.
