Persy London Limited Driver
Terms
These terms (“Terms”) set out the basis
on which Persy London Limited (“Persy”,
also referred to in these Terms as “we”, “us” or “our”) provides you with
access to the Persy app (the “App”) as a provider of
transportation services to customers.
By using the App to provide, or accept
an offer to receive, transportation services, you accept these terms. If you do not accept these terms, please do
not use the App.
1.
Definitions and Interpretation
Throughout these Terms, we will assign
a specific meaning to certain words.
Where we do this, we tell you the meaning by setting the words out in
quotes (“Like This”) and then use this capitalised term throughout these
Terms.
Capitalised words in these Terms have a
specific meaning, which is defined within these Terms. References to “you” are to you, as an individual
or as a representative of the entity through which you provide transportation
services.
2.
Other Terms
2.1 The
ways in which you can use the App may be subject to the terms and policies of
the store from which you downloaded the App, e.g. the Apple or Google
store.
3.
Your use of the App
3.1 In
return for your agreeing to comply with these terms you may download a copy of
the App onto one or more mobile devices and receive access to the functionality
provided to providers of transportation services (“Drivers”). You may not share the App with anybody
else. If you sell any device on which
the App is installed, you must remove the App from it. If you download or stream the App onto any
phone or other device not owned by you, you must have the owner's permission to
do so. You will be responsible for complying with these terms, whether or not
you own the phone or other device.
3.2 This
is not an exclusive license; in other words we may grant any number of licenses
to use the App.
4.
How the App works
4.1 The
App connects you, as a Driver, with individuals (“Customers”) who request
(an “Order”) that they be collected by a Driver from a “Pickup”
and transported to an “End Point” (the provision of which transport is
referred to as the provision of “Transportation Services”). Your agreement to provide transportation
services (each, a “Transportation Contract”) is not entered into with Persy, but with the Customer.
4.2 When
a Customer makes an Order, the App will make a notification available to Drivers
of the:
4.2.1
Pickup
4.2.2
End Point
4.2.3
Fee payable for the Customer for the relevant
Transportation Services (“Base Fee”)
each a “Notification”. Any Driver who receives the Notification may
accept the Order by clicking “Accept Order” on the App. When you click “Accept
Order” (“Accept” the Order) you enter into a binding Transportation
Contract with the Customer.
4.3 You
will need to provide your own mobile device in order to download the App and
will be responsible for all costs associated with such mobile device including,
without limitation, any data or call charges.
4.4 You
are free to use the App at any time and no minimum or maximum periods of use
are applied save that you must ensure that you comply with any regulatory and
insurance requirements imposed on you as a provider of the Transportation
Services particularly in respect of periods of rest.
4.5 You
are solely responsible for determining how to perform your obligations under
each Transportation Contract. You are
responsible for furnishing at your own expense any necessary equipment, tools
and materials required in order to do this.
4.6 You
are solely responsible for making your own decision as to the suitability of a
Customer and as to whether you will accept or decline to provide them with
Transportation Services. If you provide Transportation Services to someone who
is not a customer or is not the Customer identified via the App for you to provide
Transportation Services to, you agree that you will not be paid for these
Transportation Services via the App or otherwise by Persy.
Further, you will not be paid via the
App or otherwise by Persy for any servicews
you provide to a Customer once you have completed the Transportation Contract.
5.
Cancellation and no-show
5.3 You
may not change the route set out in the Transportation Contract or make any
unscheduled stops. This is made clear to
the Customer in the Customer terms. If
you do so, we are not responsible for any payment in respect of any such
activities.
