POSH TECHNOLOGIES INC. (DBA POSH RIDES) TERMS OF SERVICE

Welcome to the Posh Rides Platform, operated by Posh Technologies Inc., doing business as Posh Rides (“Posh Rides,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) represent a binding legal agreement between you and Posh Rides governing your use of our services, applications, websites, and other features provided by the Posh Rides Platform.

These Terms apply to all users accessing the Posh Rides Platform, including those seeking transportation or related services (“Riders”), individuals providing such transportation services (“Drivers”), and any other permitted users of our platform. By utilizing the Posh Rides Platform, you agree to abide by the obligations outlined in these Terms and any additional policies or guidelines referenced here, designed to ensure a safe and efficient user experience.

By accessing or using the Posh Rides Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and fully accepted these Terms. Your ongoing use of the platform signifies your agreement to be bound by the current version of the Terms and any other policies or guidelines incorporated by reference. If you do not accept these Terms, please do not use or access the Posh Rides Platform.

Your agreement to these Terms is voluntary but essential to using the Posh Rides Platform and its services. Should you use the platform on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

Posh Rides reserves the right to modify these Terms periodically. We may change, amend, or update any part of this Agreement to ensure it reflects updates to our services, changes in law, or other considerations. Notification of any significant changes will be provided through the Posh Rides Platform or other appropriate means. Your continued use after such modifications will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms. We recommend you review the Terms regularly to remain informed of any updates.

  1. PLATFORM AND SERVICE DESCRIPTION

The Posh Rides Platform offers services to connect individuals seeking transportation with available providers. Our platform is a marketplace that facilitates connections between users, offering them a streamlined way to request, accept, and manage transportation and related services. Through Posh Rides, individuals can arrange for rides to their destinations, and in select regions, other service options, such as vehicle rentals or third-party services, may be available.

Posh Rides operates solely as a technology platform and marketplace, not a direct transportation provider. The responsibility for providing rides or other services rests with the independent providers who offer services through the platform. Posh Rides acts as an intermediary, facilitating these connections.

1.1 User Types and Roles: The Posh Rides Platform encompasses multiple user roles to enhance service flexibility and convenience:

  • Riders: Individuals seeking transportation services can request a ride through the platform and be connected with available drivers in their area.
  • Drivers: Individuals offering transportation services can connect with Riders via the platform, choosing to provide services based on demand and location.
  • Users: The term “Users” may refer collectively to all individuals, including Riders, Drivers, and any others authorized to use the Posh Rides Platform.

Each user type has specific guidelines and obligations tailored to their respective roles on the platform, ensuring a secure and efficient experience for all participants. Drivers and Riders are responsible for fulfilling the roles and services agreed upon between them at the time of connection.

1.2 Supplemental Agreements for Specific Markets: Posh Rides may offer additional services or features in certain locations, requiring supplemental terms specific to that region or service type. These services may include vehicle rentals, additional transportation options, or integration with third-party offerings.

When using these specific services, you may be subject to supplemental agreements, which provide additional details on terms, fees, or requirements. Should there be any conflicts between this Agreement and any supplemental terms, the supplemental terms will prevail solely for the services or locations to which they apply.

  1. USER ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS

To use the Posh Rides Platform, you must be at least 18 years old and legally eligible to enter into a binding agreement. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and will comply with all relevant local, state, and federal laws governing your platform use. Minors may only use the platform under strict parental or guardian supervision where expressly permitted by Posh Rides policies and applicable laws.

Parents or guardians creating an account for a minor (where allowed) take full responsibility for the minor’s use of the platform and agree to adhere to all terms on behalf of the minor. Posh Rides reserves the right to impose additional eligibility requirements for specific programs, services, or regions, which will be disclosed in the relevant policies or agreements.

2.1 Account Creation and Maintenance: Creating an account on the Posh Rides Platform is essential for accessing services. Each individual may only establish one account, and you must provide accurate, up-to-date information during registration. Users must maintain the accuracy of their account details and update any changes promptly to avoid service interruptions or compliance issues.

Your account credentials are personal to you. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your account information, including your username and password, and to prevent unauthorized access. Any activity under your account will be your responsibility, and you must notify Posh Rides immediately if you suspect unauthorized access or use of your account.

2.2 Account Limitations and Restrictions: Posh Rides maintains the right to impose certain account limitations and restrictions to ensure platform integrity and safety. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Restricting the creation of multiple accounts for the same individual
  • Enforcing limitations on account usage if Posh Rides detects suspicious or unauthorized activity
  • Temporarily or permanently suspending accounts that violate these Terms or any related policies

Posh Rides may also deactivate or restrict accounts if it is determined that a user no longer meets eligibility requirements or has engaged in activity that violates platform policies. In such cases, Posh Rides will provide notice where possible and offer an opportunity to resolve issues before account suspension or termination. Users with deactivated accounts may contact Posh Rides support to discuss potential reinstatement.

  1. CHARGES, FEES, AND PAYMENTS

As a User of the Posh Rides Platform, you understand and agree that any use of Rideshare Services, Posh Rides Services, or Third-Party Services may incur applicable charges (“Charges”). Charges for services on the Posh Rides Platform include base fares, additional fees, surcharges, tolls, applicable taxes, and any voluntary tips provided to the Driver. For Riders and, where applicable, organizations utilizing the platform, the Charges are calculated per market and service type and displayed on your region’s Posh Rides Cities Page, which you can view through the platform. Charges are applied upon the completion of each service, and you are responsible for all costs incurred under your account.

Posh Rides reserves the exclusive right to set and adjust pricing. Pricing may vary based on the type of service requested, peak times, demand, and location. Any rate changes or additional fees will be displayed on the Posh Rides Cities Page or in your quote for each ride request, ensuring transparency before service confirmation.

3.1 Types of Fares

Quoted Fares: Posh Rides offers quoted fares for some ride requests, providing a total fare estimate when booking. This quote, however, is subject to change if any conditions of the ride differ significantly from the original request. Variations that may lead to fare adjustment include changes in destination, extended ride duration, or adjustments in distance traveled. Posh Rides may modify or cancel the quoted fare and apply a variable fare, as described below, to reflect the service provided accurately. Quoted fares may also include applicable Service Fees and surcharges.

Variable Fares: Variable fares apply for rides not covered under quoted fares. These consist of a base fare and incremental charges based on the time and distance traveled. In some cases, a minimum fare may be applied for shorter trips. Posh Rides calculates the distance traveled using GPS data; however, should GPS data be unavailable or inaccurate, the platform will calculate the fare based on other available data from the ride. Variable fares may include additional charges such as tolls, taxes, or other service fees applicable to your region.

3.2 Rideshare Service Fees and Additional Charges: In addition to base fares, Posh Rides may apply the following additional fees, as outlined on your Posh Rides Cities Page:

  • Service Fee: A standard service fee may apply to each ride, covering the operational costs of the Posh Rides Platform.
  • Prime Time Surcharges: During high-demand periods, such as peak hours or events, Posh Rides may implement a “Prime Time” surcharge to account for increased demand. This surcharge is factored into the quoted fare for rides during these times.
  • Priority Pickup and Wait & Save Options: Users may have the option to select a faster pickup for an added cost or delay pickup for a reduced fare.
  • Cancellation and No-Show Fees: If you cancel a ride request after a certain period or fail to show up for your scheduled ride, Posh Rides may charge a cancellation or no-show fee, which will be disclosed at the time of booking.
  • Damage Fees: If a Driver reports that you have caused significant damage to their vehicle, you may be charged a Damage Fee (up to $250), depending on the severity of the damage as assessed by Posh Rides. Posh Rides reserves the right to verify the damage and may require documentation before processing this fee.
  • Abuse Fees: Any misuse or abuse of the Posh Rides Platform may result in an Abuse Fee of up to $250. This fee is at Posh Rides’s discretion and may be applied if credible reports of misuse are received. For clarity, “misuse or abuse” refers to deliberate actions that are intended to circumvent platform rules, defraud Posh Rides or other users, or compromise system integrity, such as creating fraudulent transactions, exploiting promotions, or falsifying information. Posh Rides will provide a written explanation of the basis for any Abuse Fee upon request.
  • Tolls and Additional Fees: Certain trips may incur toll fees or surcharges, which are calculated based on the route and may include one-way and return tolls. Additional fees may apply depending on local regulations, airport fees, and other factors, as specified in the Posh Rides Cities Page.

3.3 Tips and Optional Charges: After each completed ride, you can tip your Driver in cash or through the platform’s payment system. You may also set a default tip amount in your account settings. Tips are optional and given directly to the Driver, reflecting your appreciation for service quality.

3.4 Payment Processing and Method Authorization: All Charges on the Posh Rides Platform are facilitated through secure third-party payment processors, which may include providers such as First Data, Stripe, and Braintree. Posh Rides reserves the right to change payment processors at its discretion. While most payments are processed electronically, cash payments are generally only accepted if explicitly authorized by Posh Rides. If the primary payment method linked to your account fails for any reason, Posh Rides may use alternative payment methods stored in your account to fulfill outstanding charges. Users are responsible for ensuring their payment details are current to avoid interruptions.

3.5 No Refund Policy: Charges for completed services are generally non-refundable. However, you may contact Posh Rides Support to request a refund or account credit in Posh Rides’s sole discretion, or as required by applicable law, for services that were not received due to verifiable platform or driver failure (e.g., a driver who did not arrive, a technical failure that prevented ride fulfillment). Any termination of services, technical disruptions, or dissatisfaction with services does not automatically qualify for a refund. Users are encouraged to report any service issues to Posh Rides support, which will review concerns on a case-by-case basis.

3.6 Promotional Discounts and Coupons: Posh Rides may offer promotional discounts, credits, or coupons that can be applied toward service Charges. Coupons are only valid on the Posh Rides Platform, non-transferable, and not redeemable for cash unless stated otherwise. If the value of the coupon is insufficient to cover Charges, the remaining balance will be charged to the payment method on file. Additional terms and restrictions may apply as indicated in the specific promotion.

3.7 Supplemental and Third-Party Service Charges: For any additional services provided by Posh Rides, such as rentals or services facilitated by third parties, applicable charges will be detailed in a supplemental agreement. By choosing these services, you agree to the applicable charges, which may differ from standard platform rates.

3.8 Payment Card Authorization: Posh Rides may request a pre-authorization hold when a new payment method is added or a service request is initiated. This authorization hold is a temporary charge to verify the payment method, protect against unauthorized activity, and ensure sufficient funds are available for the transaction. This hold may reduce your available balance until your bank processes it. Users are advised to check with their bank regarding any potential overdraft or NSF fees related to these holds, as Posh Rides is not responsible for covering such fees.

3.9 Driver Payments: Drivers on the Posh Rides Platform will receive payments for completed services as specified in the Driver Addendum, which forms part of this agreement between Drivers and Posh Rides. These terms outline payment schedules, eligibility criteria, and payment processing details specific to Drivers.

  1. USER RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONDUCT

The Posh Rides Platform is committed to fostering a respectful and secure user environment. By using our platform, you agree to adhere to Posh Rides’s community guidelines, which include treating all users courteously and respectfully, whether Drivers, Riders, or other participants.

4.2 Compliance with Laws and Policies: All users must comply with local, state, and federal laws applicable to their use of the Posh Rides Platform. Drivers, in particular, must adhere to vehicle safety regulations, licensing requirements, and any regional policies governing transportation services.

By using the platform, users acknowledge that they are responsible for understanding and upholding the terms, policies, and guidelines applicable to their roles and actions.

  1. DRIVER OBLIGATIONS

All Drivers on the Posh Rides Platform must possess a valid driver’s license and meet all applicable legal and regulatory standards required for providing transportation services in their operating region. Drivers are responsible for ensuring they are medically and legally fit to operate a vehicle and offer transportation services. By using the platform, Drivers represent and warrant that they meet all safety and licensing requirements, including compliance with background checks or certifications as required by law or by Posh Rides policy.

Such insurance must cover any accidents, injuries, or damages incurred during service provision, and Drivers must provide proof of coverage upon request.

Posh Rides does not provide driver insurance coverage, and any costs associated with maintaining insurance coverage are the driver’s responsibility. Additionally, Posh Rides reserves the right to request documentation or verification of insurance at any time and may suspend access to the platform if coverage requirements are unmet.

5.2 Standards for Vehicle Use and Maintenance: To ensure a safe and reliable experience, all vehicles used by Drivers on the Posh Rides Platform must meet certain standards for condition and maintenance. Vehicles must be roadworthy, clean, and comply with all applicable local, state, and federal safety standards. Drivers are responsible for regularly maintaining their cars, including performing necessary repairs, servicing, and safety checks.

Posh Rides may conduct inspections or request evidence of a vehicle’s condition to ensure compliance with platform standards. If a vehicle is deemed unsuitable, Posh Rides may restrict its use on the platform until any issues are resolved. Drivers are also responsible for ensuring that their vehicles can accommodate any required safety equipment or modifications necessary to provide secure services to all Riders, including those with special needs.

Users can earn credits, discounts, or other benefits specified within the program terms by participating. Each referral must meet the program’s eligibility criteria, such as signing up as a new user and completing their first service on the platform, for the referring user to qualify for any rewards.

  1. DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Posh Rides Platform and its services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Posh Rides makes no warranties or representations regarding the platform or services’ reliability, availability, accuracy, or quality. It expressly disclaims all implied warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Posh Rides does not guarantee that the platform will operate uninterrupted or error-free or that all issues will be corrected, nor does it warrant that the platform is free of viruses or other harmful components.

Use of the Posh Rides Platform is at your own risk, and Posh Rides makes no guarantees regarding the suitability, safety, or conduct of any users or services provided through the platform. Users are responsible for evaluating and verifying any interactions or transactions conducted via the platform.

10.1 Limitation on Damages: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Posh Rides and its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Posh Rides Platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Limitation of Liability shall not apply to: (a) liability arising from Posh Rides’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) liability for personal injury or tangible property damage caused by Posh Rides; (c) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (such as liability arising from Posh Rides’s violation of a consumer protection statute).

In jurisdictions where limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages are not permitted, Posh Rides’s liability shall be limited to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law. Under no circumstances shall Posh Rides’s cumulative liability exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing or using the Posh Rides Platform during the three months preceding the event giving rise to such liability.

10.2 Risk and Liability Waivers: By using the Posh Rides Platform, you acknowledge and assume all risks associated with the services provided, including but not limited to risks related to transportation, interactions with other users, and any third-party services. You agree to release and hold harmless Posh Rides from any claims, demands, losses, or damages arising from or related to disputes with other users or third parties or any harm resulting from your use of the platform.

Posh Rides disclaims all responsibility and liability for user conduct, whether online or offline, and for any property damage, personal injury, or financial loss resulting from your interactions with others on the platform. This waiver applies to any actions or inactions by Posh Rides, its affiliates, or third-party providers that may affect your experience on the platform.

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

By using the Posh Rides Platform, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Posh Rides, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or related to (a) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms, (b) your negligence or willful misconduct, or (c) your violation of any applicable laws or regulations or the rights of a third party.

This indemnity extends to actions or omissions by you or anyone accessing the platform under your account credentials. Posh Rides reserves the right, at your expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Posh Rides, and you agree to cooperate fully with Posh Rides’s defense of such claims.

If any third-party claims or demands are made against Posh Rides due to your conduct, use of the platform, or violation of these Terms, you agree to indemnify and hold Posh Rides harmless from any resulting liabilities, damages, and expenses. This includes any claims by third parties, such as Riders, Drivers, or others, for incidents or disputes arising during interactions facilitated by the Posh Rides Platform.

In the event of a third-party claim, you agree to promptly notify Posh Rides and cooperate as needed to resolve the issue. Failure to comply with these indemnity obligations may result in further liability or restrictions on your platform use.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: THIS SECTION 12 REQUIRES YOU AND POSH RIDES TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

By using the Posh Rides Platform, you and Posh Rides agree to resolve any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or related to these Terms, the platform, or the services Posh Rides offers through binding arbitration. This means that any such disputes will not be resolved in a court of law but by a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final and binding. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement and will apply to the fullest extent law permits.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration shall be conducted per the American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules, applicable when the dispute is submitted or as mutually agreed upon by you and Posh Rides. The arbitration will typically occur in the county of your primary billing address or a mutually agreed location. Each party will bear the costs and expenses associated with the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that shifting certain costs is necessary or appropriate.

12.1 Waiver of Class Actions: You and Posh Rides agree that all disputes will be resolved individually, not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative action. This means you waive your right to participate in any class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or any other proceeding as a plaintiff or class member. The arbitrator may only hear individual claims and is not authorized to decide or resolve any claims as a class or representative action.

If this waiver of class actions is unenforceable, any claim for class or representative relief must be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. In such a case, all other terms in this arbitration agreement will continue to apply.

12.2 Opt-out Provisions: You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of your initial acceptance of these Terms. To opt-out, you must send a written notice to Posh Rides at the specified address or email for such notices, including your name, contact information, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out of arbitration will not affect your ability to use the Posh Rides Platform and will not affect any other provisions of these Terms.

If you do not opt-out within the specified 30-day period, you agree to be bound by the terms of this arbitration agreement. Once accepted, the arbitration agreement will apply to all future claims or disputes between you and Posh Rides, even if these Terms are modified or updated.

  1. TERMINATION AND ACCOUNT SUSPENSION

Posh Rides reserves the right to terminate or suspend your access to the platform immediately for serious breaches of these Terms, including but not limited to fraudulent activity, safety threats, harassment, or illegal conduct. For other breaches, Posh Rides may provide you with notice and a reasonable opportunity (e.g., 7-14 days) to cure the breach before termination or suspension becomes effective. You may terminate your account anytime by following the steps outlined within the Posh Rides Platform or contacting Posh Rides support.

Termination of your account or access to the platform does not relieve you of any obligations under these Terms that have accrued prior to the termination date. Certain provisions in these Terms, including those related to intellectual property rights, indemnification, and dispute resolution, will survive the termination of your account.

13.1 Conditions for Account Deactivation: Posh Rides may deactivate your account temporarily or permanently if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any behavior that violates these Terms, harms the integrity of the platform, or poses a risk to the safety of other users. Conditions that may lead to deactivation include, but are not limited to:

  • Repeated complaints or poor ratings from other users
  • Violation of community guidelines or other policies
  • Failure to meet eligibility or licensing requirements for your role on the platform
  • Any fraudulent or unauthorized use of the platform

If your account is deactivated, Posh Rides will attempt to notify you of the deactivation and, where appropriate, provide an opportunity to address or resolve the issue leading to the deactivation. However, Posh Rides reserves the right to deactivate accounts without prior notice if deemed necessary for the safety or integrity of the platform.

13.2 Effects of Termination: Upon termination or suspension of your account, you will lose access to the Posh Rides Platform, including any data or content associated with your account. Any benefits, credits, or rewards earned through loyalty programs, promotions, or referrals will also be forfeited upon account termination. Posh Rides is not liable for any data loss or account content resulting from your account’s termination, suspension, or deactivation.

If you wish to reinstate your account following deactivation, you may contact Posh Rides support to inquire about eligibility for reactivation. Posh Rides is not obligated to reinstate any account and reserves the right to make final decisions regarding account termination and reactivation requests.

  1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

14.1 Governing Jurisdiction and Venue: These Terms and any disputes arising from or related to them will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any legal action or proceeding not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the courts located in California, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts to litigate all such disputes.

14.2 Severability and Entire Agreement: If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. The failure of Posh Rides to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Posh Rides in writing.

These Terms, along with any supplemental agreements, policies, and guidelines referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Posh Rides with respect to your use of the Posh Rides Platform. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties regarding such subject matter, whether written or oral.

14.3 Notices and Amendments: Posh Rides may provide notices to you by posting them on the Posh Rides Platform, sending them to the email or mailing address associated with your account, or by other reasonable means. You agree that any notice provided by Posh Rides is effective upon posting or sending, regardless of whether you have read the notice. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current to receive important updates and communications.

Posh Rides reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 30 days’ notice for any changes that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be material and adverse to you (such as significant fee increases or new obligations). Such notice will be provided via the platform or email. Your continued use of the Posh Rides Platform after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of them. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates or modifications.
