4 Payments
4.1 General Payment Information
You understand that use of the Services may result in payments by You for the Services You receive from a third party provider (“Charges”). After You have received Services obtained through Your use of the Service, FleetFareTM will facilitate payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the third party provider, as such third party provider’s limited payment collection agent, using the preferred payment method designated in Your Account, and will send You a receipt by email. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by You to the third party provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by You are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by FleetFareTM. FleetFareTM will respond accordingly to any request from a third party provider to modify the Charges for a particular service.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by FleetFareTM using the preferred payment method designated in Your Account. If Your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, You agree that FleetFareTM may, as the third party provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in Your Account, if available. We may verify and authorize Your card details when You first create an account as well as when You use the Services.
FleetFareTM reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all aspects of the Services at any time. FleetFareTM will use reasonable efforts to inform You of Charges that may apply, provided that You will be responsible for Charges incurred under Your Account regardless of Your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. FleetFareTM may periodically provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different Charges for the same or similar Services, and You agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to You, shall have no bearing on Your use of the Services or the Charges applied to You.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the third party provider for the services provided. Any representation by FleetFareTM (on FleetFareTM’s website, in the Application, or in FleetFareTM’s marketing materials) to the effect that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” and/or “included” in the payments you make for services provided is not intended to suggest that FleetFareTM provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the third party provider. You understand and agree that, while You are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any third party provider who provides You with services obtained through the Service, You are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary.
4.2 Administrative and Cancellation Fees
We may charge You an additional administrative fee in connection with any ride You arrange through the Services. Our fees are exclusive of any applicable sales or use taxes or other federal, state or local taxes. We may charge You a cancellation fee if a Third Party Provider or Operator accepts Your request and You either cancel the ride more than a specified period of time after Your request has been accepted or if You fail to meet Your Operator at the designated pickup location. These fees are described in our Frequently Asked Questions for Riders.
4.3 Repair and Cleaning Fees
You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, third party provider vehicles and property resulting from your use of the Services in excess of normal “wear and tear” damages and necessary cleaning (“Repair or Cleaning”). In the event that a third party provider reports the need for Repair or Cleaning, and such Repair or Cleaning request is verified by FleetFareTM in FleetFareTM’s reasonable discretion, FleetFareTM reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the third party provider using Your preferred payment method designated in Your Account.

The parties exclude the application of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods if otherwise applicable. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
7.2 Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004175). The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Florida and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
7.3 Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless You and FleetFareTM otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Palm Beach County, Florida. If Your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents You and FleetFareTM submit to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if Your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, FleetFareTM will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in Your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
