Terms of Service

YARIDE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective Date:  September 29, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the YaRide mobile application, website, and related services through which users may list, request, arrange, and participate in peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing transactions (collectively, the “Platform”).

The Platform is operated by 50 Charwest Holdings LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, doing business as YaRide (“YaRide,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully. They form a binding agreement between you and YaRide and contain important provisions concerning your rights and responsibilities when using the Platform.

1.     ACCEPTANCE AND SCOPE

1.1.Acceptance

You accept these Terms when, after being given an opportunity to review them, you affirmatively indicate acceptance through the Platform, including by selecting “I Agree,” checking an acceptance box, or using another electronic acceptance mechanism presented by YaRide.

Once accepted, these Terms apply to your use of the Platform as an Owner, Renter, or both, including applicable Bookings entered into while these Terms are in effect.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform to list, request, book, possess, or share a Vehicle.

1.2. Application to Users and Transactions

These Terms apply whenever a User acts as an Owner, Renter, or both. The provisions applicable to a particular role apply whenever the User acts in that capacity.

A particular Booking, service, Vehicle, or jurisdiction may be subject to additional terms, disclosures, requirements, or transaction-specific information. Where properly disclosed and incorporated into the applicable transaction, those additional terms form part of the agreement governing that transaction and apply to the specific matters they address.

1.3. Applicable Law

Use of the Platform and each Booking remain subject to Applicable Law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, transfers, or waives a right, responsibility, obligation, or liability that Applicable Law does not permit to be excluded, restricted, transferred, or waived.

Where a mandatory requirement of Applicable Law conflicts with these Terms or any additional terms applicable to a Booking, the mandatory requirement controls to the extent of the conflict.

2.     DEFINITIONS

For purposes of these Terms:

“Account” means a registered User account on the Platform.

“Applicable Law” means any law, regulation, rule, court order, governmental requirement, licensing requirement, insurance or financial-responsibility requirement, or other legally binding requirement applicable to YaRide, a User, a Vehicle, the Platform, or a Booking, as the context requires.

“Authorized Driver” means a person, other than the Renter, approved to operate a Vehicle for a Booking in accordance with Section 7.2 and Platform requirements.

“Booking” means an arrangement made through the Platform under which an Owner accepts a Renter's request and authorizes the Renter to possess and use a Vehicle for an agreed period.

“Booking Period” means the scheduled period for use of the Vehicle stated in an accepted Booking, including any properly authorized extension.

“Owner” means a User who owns a Vehicle or otherwise has lawful authority to make the Vehicle available to Renters through the Platform.

“Platform” means the YaRide mobile application, website, technology, interfaces, and related services used to facilitate peer-to-peer Vehicle sharing.

“Possession Period” means the period beginning when a Renter obtains possession or control of a Vehicle in connection with a Booking and ending when possession and control are returned to the Owner or the Owner's authorized designee, or otherwise lawfully relinquished or transferred to a person entitled to receive them. Where Applicable Law establishes a different period or rule for purposes of a particular legal requirement, that requirement controls for purposes of that law.

“Renter” means a User who, through a Booking, is authorized by an Owner to possess and use a Vehicle.

“Transaction Records” means records relating to a Booking, including, as applicable, Booking details, handover and return information, photographs, mileage, location information lawfully collected, charges, communications made through or submitted to the Platform, incident information, and other records created, submitted, or maintained in connection with the transaction.

“User” means a person who creates an Account or otherwise uses the Platform, including as an Owner or Renter.

“Vehicle” means a motor vehicle made available by an Owner through the Platform.

“Verification” means YaRide's applicable process for reviewing specified information or documentation submitted by or concerning a User or Vehicle.

3.     YARIDE'S ROLE

3.1. Peer-to-Peer Platform

YaRide provides a technology platform through which eligible Owners may make Vehicles available and eligible Renters may request to use them.

Except where expressly stated in these Terms or required by Applicable Law, YaRide does not own Vehicles listed by Users and does not itself physically deliver, maintain, repair, possess, or take custody of those Vehicles.

Owners independently decide whether to accept Booking requests and transfer possession of their Vehicles to Renters, subject to these Terms and Applicable Law.

3.2. Owner Acceptance

A Booking request does not require an Owner to provide a Vehicle.

The Owner decides whether to accept a Booking request and ultimately whether to transfer possession of the Vehicle to the authorized Renter, subject to these Terms and Applicable Law.

A User's Verification status does not constitute a direction, recommendation, warranty, or guarantee by YaRide that an Owner should accept that User or transfer possession of a Vehicle to that User.

3.3. Direct Transfer of Possession

Physical possession and control of a Vehicle are transferred directly between the Owner and Renter.

YaRide does not become the owner, physical custodian, or possessor of a Vehicle solely because YaRide operates the Platform, performs Verification, facilitates a Booking, maintains Transaction Records, processes or facilitates payments, or assists Users in connection with a Booking.

Nothing in this Section limits any responsibility imposed directly on YaRide by Applicable Law or expressly undertaken by YaRide under these Terms.

3.4. Platform Functions and User Responsibilities

YaRide may perform functions including Account administration, Verification, document review, Booking facilitation, Transaction Record maintenance, communications, payment-related functions, incident review, and enforcement of these Terms and Platform requirements.

YaRide's performance of those functions does not displace an Owner's or Renter's respective obligations under these Terms, the applicable Booking, or Applicable Law.

Except to the extent YaRide expressly undertakes an obligation under these Terms or Applicable Law imposes responsibility on YaRide, YaRide does not guarantee that an Owner or Renter will perform a Booking as agreed, return a Vehicle when required, make or receive payment, avoid an accident or dispute, or otherwise comply with these Terms.

3.5. No General Agency or Employment Relationship

Except where Applicable Law provides otherwise, use of the Platform does not create an employment, partnership, joint venture, or general agency relationship between YaRide and an Owner or Renter, other than the limited role of an Owner in receiving and remitting amounts on YaRide's behalf under Section 15.1.

No User may make commitments, representations, or agreements on behalf of or purporting to bind YaRide without YaRide's authorization.

4.     ELIGIBILITY AND USER ACCOUNTS

4.1. Eligibility

A User must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, have legal capacity to enter into these Terms and satisfy the eligibility and Verification requirements applicable to the Platform services and User role involved.

A Renter must hold a driver's licence that is valid for use in Jamaica and authorizes operation of the applicable class of Vehicle and satisfy applicable age, licensing, Verification, and other eligibility requirements.

An Owner must satisfy the eligibility and Verification requirements applicable to listing and sharing a Vehicle through the Platform.

Additional eligibility requirements may apply based on the Vehicle, Booking, jurisdiction, insurance requirements, or other eligibility criteria properly disclosed through the Platform.

4.2. Accurate Information

Users must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating and maintaining an Account and must promptly update information that becomes materially inaccurate, incomplete, expired, suspended, or revoked.

A User may not create or use an Account using another person's identity or knowingly permit another person to use the User's Account to impersonate another person, circumvent eligibility or Verification requirements, or otherwise obtain unauthorized access to the Platform or a Vehicle.

4.3. Account Security

Users are responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect their Account credentials and must promptly notify YaRide of known or reasonably suspected unauthorized Account access.

4.4. Continuing Eligibility

Eligibility is a continuing requirement.

A User must promptly notify YaRide of a material change affecting eligibility, including the suspension, revocation, expiration, or material restriction of a required driver's licence, legal authority to make a Vehicle available, or other required authorization.

A User who no longer satisfies applicable eligibility requirements must not initiate or participate in a new Booking in a capacity for which the User is ineligible.

YaRide may request updated information or documentation and may restrict access to affected Platform functionality while eligibility is reviewed.

4.5.Personal Data

YaRide processes personal data concerning Users in accordance with the YaRide Privacy Notice made available through the Platform and Applicable Law.

A User who receives another User's personal data through the Platform, including identity, contact, licence, or location information, may use that data only in connection with the applicable Booking or a related incident, claim, or dispute, or as required by Applicable Law, and must take reasonable steps to keep it secure.

An Owner who uses a tracking, telematics, camera, or recording device in a Vehicle must disclose the device in the listing before a Booking is accepted and may use information obtained from it only for security, recovery, incident, or other lawful purposes connected with the Booking.

4.6.Platform Licence and User Content

Subject to these Terms, YaRide grants each User a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-transferable licence to use the Platform for its intended purpose. YaRide and its licensors retain all rights in the Platform.

A User must not copy, scrape, reverse engineer, disrupt, or use automated means to access the Platform, or use the Platform for an unlawful purpose.

Each User grants YaRide a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, and display listings, Vehicle photographs, reviews, and other content the User submits to the Platform, for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform and maintaining Transaction Records. The User represents that the User has the right to grant that licence.

5.     VERIFICATION

5.1. Verification Process

YaRide uses Verification processes intended to help confirm information submitted by Users and support trust and accountability on the Platform.

Depending on the User's role and applicable service, Verification may include review of identity information, photographs or live images, address information, driver's licence information, Vehicle documentation, and other information required by YaRide or Applicable Law.

Verification may be conducted by YaRide or with assistance from authorized personnel or service providers.

5.2. Submitted Information

Information and documents submitted for Verification must be genuine, accurate, current, and relate to the person or Vehicle for which they are submitted.

Users must not submit forged, altered, stolen, fraudulently obtained, or materially misleading information or documents.

YaRide may request additional information, repeat Verification, or restrict Platform access where information cannot be verified or YaRide identifies a material inconsistency or other legitimate Verification concern.

5.3. Meaning and Limits of Verification

A “Verified,” “approved,” or similar designation means only that the User or Vehicle completed the Verification steps then required by YaRide and that the information reviewed satisfied YaRide's applicable Verification criteria based on the information and verification methods available at the time.

Verification does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, certification, or endorsement of a User, Vehicle, document, insurance coverage, future conduct, or transaction.

In particular, Verification does not guarantee:

a)     a User's character, honesty, reliability, financial responsibility, driving ability, or future conduct;

b)    the continuing accuracy or validity of information or documentation after Verification;

c)     a Vehicle's mechanical condition, roadworthiness, safety, or suitability;

d)    the existence, scope, adequacy, or applicability of insurance coverage for a particular Booking; or

e)     the safety, legality, performance, or outcome of a Booking.

Review of Vehicle documentation, including registration, fitness, or insurance documentation where applicable, does not constitute an independent physical inspection of the Vehicle, verification of its mechanical condition or roadworthiness, or a determination that an insurance policy permits peer-to-peer vehicle sharing or provides coverage for a particular Booking.

Nothing in this Section limits any Verification, review, disclosure, or other duty imposed directly on YaRide by Applicable Law.

6.     OWNER AND VEHICLE RESPONSIBILITIES

6.1. Authority to Share

By listing a Vehicle, the Owner represents that the Owner is the registered owner or otherwise has lawful and sufficient authority from the registered owner to make the Vehicle available through YaRide.

The Owner must not list or make available a stolen Vehicle or a Vehicle the Owner is not lawfully authorized to share.

The Owner must ensure that making the Vehicle available through the Platform and transferring possession to a Renter are within the Owner's lawful authority and do not violate Applicable Law.

6.2. Registration and Documentation

The Owner must ensure that the Vehicle is properly registered and, where applicable, inspected, certified for fitness, licensed, or otherwise legally authorized for the contemplated use to the extent those requirements apply to the Owner or Vehicle.

Documents supplied concerning the Vehicle must be genuine, accurate, current, and not materially misleading.

6.3. Vehicle Condition and Disclosure

The Owner must provide a Vehicle that is reasonably safe, roadworthy, properly maintained, and suitable for lawful operation.

The Owner must not provide a Vehicle with a known material condition or defect that makes its contemplated use unsafe or unlawful.

The Owner must not knowingly conceal or materially misrepresent a defect, damage, condition, or other fact concerning the Vehicle that would reasonably affect a Renter's decision to accept or safely operate it.

6.4. Listing Accuracy

The Owner must accurately describe the Vehicle and must not materially misrepresent its identity, condition, features, location, availability, legal status, or other information material to a Renter's decision.

Photographs must reasonably depict the Vehicle offered.

6.5. Safety Recalls

An Owner must not make a Vehicle available for a Booking while the Owner is aware that the Vehicle is subject to an unrepaired safety recall that makes the Vehicle unsafe or unlawful to operate or that Applicable Law requires to be remedied before the Vehicle is made available.

If an Owner receives notice of a safety recall while the Vehicle is listed or during a Booking, the Owner must promptly notify YaRide and the affected Renter, where applicable, and take the actions required by Applicable Law.

YaRide may remove or restrict a Vehicle subject to an unresolved safety recall and will perform any recall-related duty imposed directly on YaRide by Applicable Law.

6.6. Liens and Third-Party Restrictions

If a Vehicle is financed, leased, subject to a lien, or otherwise subject to third-party restrictions, the Owner is responsible for determining whether sharing the Vehicle is permitted.

Peer-to-peer sharing may be restricted or prohibited by financing, lease, lien, insurance, or other agreements affecting the Vehicle.

YaRide's acceptance of a listing does not constitute confirmation that any such agreement permits the Vehicle to be shared.

6.7. Continuing Obligations

The Owner must promptly update or withdraw a listing if the Vehicle ceases to satisfy these Terms or Applicable Law and must notify YaRide of material changes affecting ownership, authority to share, registration, fitness, safety status, insurance status, recall status, or required documentation.

7.      RENTER AND DRIVER RESPONSIBILITIES

7.1. Licence and Legal Eligibility

The Renter must maintain a driver's licence that is valid for use in Jamaica and legally authorizes the Renter to operate the applicable class of Vehicle.

If the Renter or any Authorized Driver to operate the Vehicle ceases to be legally authorized to operate the Vehicle during a Booking, that person must stop operating the Vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so, and the Renter must promptly notify the Owner and YaRide.

7.2. Authorized Renter and Drivers

The Renter must not obtain a Booking for another person by misrepresenting who will possess or operate the Vehicle.

The Renter may not permit another person to drive or exercise control over the Vehicle unless that person has been properly authorized and confirmed as an Authorized Driver for the Booking in accordance with Platform requirements and Applicable Law.

Each Authorized Driver must satisfy the licence and eligibility requirements applicable to a Renter. The Renter is responsible for the acts and omissions of each Authorized Driver, and of any other person the Renter permits to use or access the Vehicle, during the Possession Period as if they were the acts and omissions of the Renter.

7.3. Lawful Use

The Renter must use the Vehicle lawfully, safely, and reasonably and comply with applicable traffic, parking, licensing, and other legal requirements.

7.4. Pre-Handover Review

Before taking possession, the Renter must take reasonable steps to confirm that the Vehicle presented materially corresponds to the Booking and must not knowingly take possession of a Vehicle with an apparent condition that makes its contemplated use unsafe or unlawful.

8.     BOOKINGS AND CHANGES

8.1. Booking Requests and Acceptance

A Renter may request an available Vehicle through the Platform.

A request does not create a right to use or possess the Vehicle and becomes an accepted Booking only when accepted by the Owner in accordance with Platform requirements.

Acceptance of a Booking does not itself transfer possession or control of the Vehicle. The Possession Period begins as provided in these Terms and Applicable Law.

8.2. Booking Details

The Owner and Renter are responsible for reviewing the material Booking details, including the Vehicle, Booking Period, applicable handover and return locations, rates, fees, charges and other disclosed conditions.

An Owner may not require a Renter to pay an additional mandatory fee or charge in connection with a Booking unless that fee or charge was disclosed as part of the Booking before the Renter accepted it, except for an amount that properly arises after acceptance because of the Renter’s use or possession of the Vehicle or as otherwise permitted by these Terms or Applicable Law.

8.3. Changes, Extensions and Cancellations

Changes, extensions, substitutions, or cancellations must be completed or documented through the procedure required by YaRide, where applicable.

A Renter's notice that the Vehicle will be returned late does not itself extend the Booking Period. An extension is effective only when properly authorized in accordance with the applicable Booking and Platform requirements.

A User must not substitute another Vehicle, Renter, or driver where doing so would circumvent applicable Verification, authorization, insurance, or eligibility requirements.

8.4. Off-Platform Transactions and Circumvention

Users must not move, extend, renew, or restructure a Booking outside the Platform for the purpose of avoiding properly disclosed YaRide fees or circumventing applicable Verification, safety, eligibility, or other Platform requirements.

A separate off-Platform arrangement is not a YaRide Booking and does not entitle the parties to services or protections YaRide has not agreed to provide.

9.      HANDOVER AND CONDITION DOCUMENTATION

At handover, the Owner and Renter must reasonably cooperate with identity confirmation, Vehicle confirmation, photographs, and other documentation procedures required through the Platform.

The Owner must not transfer possession of the Vehicle to a person who is not authorized to receive it under the applicable Booking.

The parties must reasonably document the Vehicle's condition at handover and, where applicable, at return. The Owner must disclose known material damage or defects not already accurately disclosed, and the Renter should document apparent material discrepancies identified at handover.

The Owner must inspect the Vehicle  promptly upon return and report any damage, missing item, or other discrepancy the Owner attributes to the Booking using the reporting or support method made available by YaRide.

A Renter's failure to identify or document a condition at handover does not, by itself, establish that the condition did not exist at that time.

The Possession Period begins when the Renter takes possession or control of the Vehicle, which may include obtaining the keys, access credentials, or other means necessary to exercise control, subject to any different rule required by Applicable Law.

Transaction Records may be considered in determining the circumstances of handover, possession, Vehicle condition, and return.

Users must not falsify, fabricate, improperly alter, or manipulate Transaction Records or other information concerning the handover, condition, possession, or return of a Vehicle.

10.  POSSESSION AND PERMITTED USE

10.1.               Authorized Use

The Renter may use the Vehicle only as authorized by the Booking, these Terms, reasonable and lawful restrictions properly disclosed by the Owner, and Applicable Law.

Possession of the Vehicle under a Booking does not give the Renter any ownership or security interest in the Vehicle.

10.2.               Care and Safeguarding of the Vehicle

During the Possession Period, the Renter must exercise reasonable care in possessing, using, securing, and protecting the Vehicle and any keys, documents, or other Vehicle property entrusted to the Renter.

10.3.               Unsafe Conditions

If a mechanical problem, warning, damage, or other condition reasonably indicates that continued operation may be unsafe or unlawful, the Renter must stop using the Vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so, take reasonable steps to safeguard the Vehicle, and promptly notify the Owner and YaRide.

10.4.               Fines, Fuel and Related Charges

The Renter is responsible for traffic tickets, fixed penalties, parking charges, towing and impound charges arising from use of the Vehicle during the Possession Period, except to the extent caused by the Owner, and for fuel required to return the Vehicle at the fuel level stated in the Booking.

Where a ticket, notice, or charge relating to the Possession Period is issued to the Owner as registered owner, the Owner may provide the Renter's details to the issuing authority or YaRide may disclose to the Owner or the issuing authority the Renter’s details to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and the Renter must cooperate in transferring responsibility to the Renter.

11.   PROHIBITED USES

A Renter must not:

a)     permit a person who is not an Authorized Driver to drive, possess, or exercise control over the Vehicle;

b)    sell, lease, sublease, pledge, transfer, encumber, abandon, or otherwise dispose of the Vehicle or any ownership, possessory, or security interest in it;

c)     operate the Vehicle unlawfully, recklessly, while impaired, or contrary to a material restriction on the Renter's legal authorization to drive;

d)    use the Vehicle for racing, speed testing, dangerous competitions, deliberately hazardous activity, or criminal activity;

e)     conceal, intentionally damage, or otherwise misuse the Vehicle;

f)     tamper with, disable, alter, or intentionally interfere with the Vehicle's safety, security, identification, odometer, location, or similar systems or equipment;

g)    knowingly violate a lawful geographic or use restriction properly disclosed for the Booking;

h)    carry persons, goods, or loads unlawfully or materially beyond lawful operating limits;

i)      use the Vehicle for hire or reward including as taxi (private charter), route taxi, rideshare, delivery, or other commercial services; or

j)      use the Vehicle to tow another vehicle, trailer, or other object unless authorized for the Booking and permitted by Applicable Law.

12.  RETURN AND FAILURE TO RETURN

12.1.               Return Obligation

The Renter must return the Vehicle at the agreed time and place and in the manner required by the Booking, including all keys, access devices, documents, and equipment supplied with it.

The Vehicle must be returned substantially in the condition received, subject to ordinary wear from authorized use and conditions not attributable to the Renter.

12.2.               Late Return

If circumstances prevent timely return, the Renter must promptly notify the Owner and YaRide and request any extension through the applicable process.

Continued possession is not authorized unless an extension is properly approved.

12.3.               Unauthorized Continued Possession

A Renter has no contractual right to retain possession after authorization ends.

Unauthorized continued possession may result in Account restriction or other remedies available under these Terms or Applicable Law.

12.4.               Failure to Return or Loss of Contact

If a Vehicle is not returned when required, particularly where the Renter cannot reasonably be contacted, YaRide may attempt to contact the Renter, restrict the Account, preserve relevant Transaction Records, and cooperate with the Owner, insurers, law enforcement, or other appropriate authorities.

YaRide does not guarantee recovery and is not responsible for physically repossessing or recovering the Vehicle under any circumstance.

Where circumstances reasonably indicate theft, conversion, or other unlawful retention, the Owner must take reasonable reporting and protective measures required by Applicable Law or an applicable insurer and cooperate with YaRide where reasonably necessary.

12.5.               Costs and Remedies

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, a Renter may be responsible for reasonable and properly substantiated losses legally attributable to unauthorized retention, misuse, or failure to return the Vehicle.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes any charge, fee, penalty, or other amount prohibited by Applicable Law.

12.6.               No Right of Retention

Except where Applicable Law provides otherwise, a Renter may not withhold, conceal, retain, or refuse to return a Vehicle because of a dispute with the Owner or YaRide. Any such dispute must be pursued separately through available lawful procedures.

13.  ACCIDENTS, BREAKDOWNS, DAMAGE, LOSS, AND THEFT

13.1.               Immediate Responsibilities

Following an accident, breakdown, theft, or other material incident, the Renter must first take reasonable measures to protect personal safety and comply with Applicable Law.

13.2.               Reporting

The Renter must notify the Owner and YaRide as soon as reasonably practicable of an accident, material damage, theft, attempted theft, vandalism, breakdown affecting safe operation, impoundment, seizure, towing, or another material event affecting the Vehicle. In the event of a motor vehicle accident, the Renter must also report  the accident to the Jamaica Constabulary Force where required by Applicable Law or applicable insurance requirements and, where a report is made, provide the report or available report details to the Owner and YaRide.

13.3.               Evidence and Cooperation

The Owner and Renter must reasonably cooperate in preserving Transaction Records and other evidence relevant to an incident or related claim.

The Owner and Renter must not knowingly falsify, destroy, conceal, or materially interfere with relevant evidence.

13.4.               Repairs and Towing

The Renter must not authorize a material repair, alteration, or non-emergency towing of the Vehicle without the Owner's consent.

Emergency towing, repairs, or other immediate action may be taken where reasonably necessary to protect persons or property or comply with Applicable Law. The Renter must promptly notify the Owner and YaRide of any such action.

13.5.               Responsibility

Responsibility for an incident depends on the circumstances, these Terms, applicable insurance, and Applicable Law.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, a Renter remains responsible for loss attributable to the Renter's negligence, misuse, unauthorized conduct, or breach of these Terms.

14.  INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

14.1.               User Insurance Obligations

Each Owner and Renter is responsible for satisfying insurance and financial-responsibility requirements imposed by Applicable Law on that User or, in the case of an Owner, on the Vehicle.

An Owner must maintain insurance required by Applicable Law and must not knowingly list or make a Vehicle available while required insurance has expired, been cancelled, or otherwise fails to satisfy a requirement imposed on the Owner or Vehicle by Applicable Law, for the whole of the Booking Period

The Owner is responsible for determining whether insurance maintained by the Owner permits the Vehicle to be made available through a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing platform.

A Renter must satisfy any insurance or financial-responsibility requirement imposed on the Renter by Applicable Law or expressly disclosed as applicable to the Renter for the Booking.

Users must not assume that a personal automobile insurance policy covers a YaRide Booking. Coverage may be excluded, restricted, or otherwise affected when a Vehicle is shared, rented, or made available for compensation.

14.2.               YaRide Insurance Role

YaRide does not provide a general insurance or physical-damage protection product to Users merely because they create an Account, list a Vehicle, or enter into a Booking, unless YaRide expressly states that specified coverage or protection applies to a particular Booking, service, or jurisdiction.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any insurance, assumption-of-liability, financial-responsibility, or other obligation imposed directly on YaRide by Applicable Law, including any requirement applicable to a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program.

Any insurance maintained or provided in connection with a particular jurisdiction or Booking will be described in the applicable Booking terms, disclosures, or jurisdiction-specific provisions as required by Applicable Law.

14.3.               Insurance Documentation

YaRide may require evidence of insurance.

Unless YaRide expressly states otherwise, acceptance or review of insurance documentation does not constitute a determination or guarantee that the policy permits peer-to-peer sharing, applies to a particular Booking or claim, provides adequate limits, or will remain in force.

Nothing in this subsection limits a duty Applicable Law independently requires YaRide to perform.

14.4.               Changes in Coverage

Users must promptly notify YaRide if insurance the User is required to maintain under these Terms or Applicable Law is cancelled, expires, lapses, or becomes materially restricted.

YaRide may restrict the affected User or Vehicle until applicable insurance requirements are satisfied.

14.5.               Claims

Users must reasonably cooperate with legitimate requests relating to an insurance claim. YaRide does not guarantee that an insurer will accept or pay a claim.

15.  FEES, CHARGES, AND AMOUNTS OWED

15.1.               Platform Fees

YaRide may charge Owners, Renters, or both fees in connection with use of the Platform or a Booking. The amount or method of calculating a fee, the User responsible for it, and when it becomes due will be disclosed through the Platform before the User becomes obligated to pay it.

Under YaRide's current Booking model, YaRide charges separate platform fees to the Owner and Renter based on the rental value of the Vehicle. Where the Platform directs a Renter to pay an amount owed to YaRide to the Owner in connection with a Booking, the Owner receives that amount on YaRide's behalf and must remit it to YaRide together with any platform fee separately owed by the Owner.

An amount collected by an Owner on YaRide's behalf does not become the Owner's property merely because it is initially paid to or held by the Owner.

The Owner must remit amounts received on YaRide's behalf within the time and by the method specified through the Platform. Payment by a Renter to the Owner of an amount the Platform directs the Renter to pay to the Owner on YaRide's behalf discharges the Renter's obligation to YaRide for that amount.

YaRide may correct a fee, charge, or amount displayed or calculated incorrectly because of a technical, calculation, currency-conversion, or similar error. Any correction will be made in accordance with Applicable Law and will not, by itself, impose on a User a fee that was not properly disclosed to that User before the User became obligated to pay it.

15.2.               Credits

YaRide may use credits to control access to Booking requests or other Platform functionality.

Under the current credit system, one credit allows an Owner to receive one Booking request for a Vehicle. If an Owner has no available credits, the Owner's Vehicle may cease to be visible or otherwise available to receive new Booking requests until additional credits become available.

Credits may be provided free of charge, including through promotional or referral programs, or as a goodwill, service, or dispute-related adjustment, or offered on other terms disclosed through the Platform. The number or stated value of credits provided or required for particular Platform functionality will be disclosed through the Platform. The availability, allocation, price, use, and other conditions applicable to credits may change from time to time, subject to Applicable Law and any terms disclosed when the credits are provided or purchased.

 Unless expressly stated otherwise, credits are usable only for the Platform functionality for which they are provided and may not be redeemed for cash or transferred between Users.

15.3.               Changes to Fees, Credits, and Payment Methods

YaRide may change its fees, credit system, collection methods, or payment arrangements from time to time as the Platform develops.

A change will not alter a fee or payment obligation already accepted for an existing Booking unless the User agrees to the change or Applicable Law permits or requires otherwise. Any new or revised fee applicable to future Platform use or Bookings will be disclosed before the User becomes obligated to pay it.

15.4.               Amounts Paid Between Users

Amounts identified through the Platform as payable directly between Users, including the underlying rental amount payable to an Owner, remain the responsibility of the applicable Users to pay or collect as required by the Booking.

YaRide's facilitation or recording of an amount payable between Users does not make YaRide responsible for paying or guaranteeing that amount.

This subsection does not apply to an amount that an Owner is required to collect or remit on YaRide's behalf under Section 15.1.

15.5.               Unpaid Amounts

If an amount properly owed to YaRide remains unpaid, YaRide may, subject to Applicable Law, prevent or restrict additional Bookings, restrict the User's Account or affected Platform functionality, request payment, and take reasonable lawful recovery measures.

A User who reasonably believes an amount is incorrect should promptly notify YaRide and provide information reasonably necessary to review the dispute.

15.6.               Currency and Taxes

Unless otherwise stated through the Platform, amounts are stated and payable in Jamaican dollars. Where the Platform displays, calculates, or permits payment of an amount in another currency, the applicable currency and any currency conversion presented for the transaction will be as disclosed through the Platform, subject to the correction of errors under Section 15.1.

Fees disclosed through the Platform will state whether General Consumption Tax or another applicable tax is included.

Each User is responsible for taxes imposed on that User in respect of amounts the User receives or pays in connection with a Booking.

16.  CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, AND ADJUSTMENTS

Bookings may be cancelled in accordance with the procedures and conditions disclosed through the Platform.

Any cancellation charge, refund, credit, or adjustment will be determined in accordance with Applicable Law and the terms properly disclosed for the applicable Booking before the User becomes subject to those terms.

YaRide may suspend or cancel a Booking where reasonably necessary because of a Verification issue, material safety concern, suspected fraud, Vehicle eligibility issue, material breach of these Terms, or legal requirement.

Any resulting refund, credit, charge, or adjustment will be determined in accordance with the applicable cancellation terms, the circumstances giving rise to the cancellation, and Applicable Law.

17.  DISPUTES, INVESTIGATIONS, AND COOPERATION

A dispute between Users does not, by itself, make YaRide responsible for either User's conduct or obligations, except to the extent these Terms or Applicable Law independently impose responsibility on YaRide.

YaRide may assist with communications, review relevant Transaction Records, investigate suspected fraud, misuse, safety concerns, payment issues, unauthorized possession, or material violations of these Terms, and take appropriate Platform-related action.

Unless required by Applicable Law or expressly undertaken by YaRide, YaRide does not act as an arbitrator or determine legal fault or liability between Users. A Platform-related decision by YaRide does not, by itself, establish legal fault or liability.

Users must provide truthful information and reasonably cooperate with legitimate requests for relevant evidence.

YaRide may preserve relevant information and, where permitted or required by Applicable Law, disclose it to insurers, courts, law enforcement, regulators, governmental authorities, or other persons lawfully entitled to receive it.

18.  ACCOUNT RESTRICTION, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION

18.1.               Grounds for Action

YaRide may restrict, suspend, or terminate an Account or affected Platform functionality where YaRide reasonably determines that:

a)     required information is materially inaccurate, false, expired, incomplete, or cannot be satisfactorily verified;

b)    a User or Vehicle no longer satisfies applicable eligibility requirements;

c)     an amount properly owed to YaRide remains unpaid;

d)    a User materially or repeatedly breaches these Terms;

e)     action is reasonably necessary because of a material safety, fraud, misconduct, legal, regulatory, or Platform security concern, or is required by Applicable Law or lawful governmental process; or

18.2.               Immediate Protective Action

YaRide may  immediately restrict an Account, Vehicle listing, Booking functionality, or other affected Platform functionality where reasonably necessary to address suspected fraud, unlawful activity, a material breach of these Terms, or a Platform security concern, or where required by Applicable Law or lawful governmental process.

18.3.               Account Closure and Continuing Obligations

A User may request Account closure through the available Account process.

Account closure, suspension, or termination does not affect rights or obligations arising before the action takes effect, including outstanding payment, return, or incident-related obligations.

If action is taken while a Booking is in progress, the Owner and Renter remain responsible for completing the Booking safely and complying with applicable return and incident obligations, subject to any different action required by YaRide or Applicable Law.

19.  DISCLAIMERS AND ALLOCATION OF RISK

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Platform and YaRide's technology services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

YaRide does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free or guarantee the conduct of any User, the condition or performance of any Vehicle, or the completion or outcome of any Booking, except to the extent YaRide expressly undertakes an obligation under these Terms or Applicable Law provides otherwise.

Users acknowledge that peer-to-peer Vehicle sharing involves risks arising from direct dealings between Owners and Renters and from the possession and use of Vehicles.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, YaRide is not responsible for loss caused solely by the independent conduct of another User where YaRide is not independently legally responsible for that loss.

Nothing in this Section excludes, restricts, or releases YaRide from any obligation or liability that Applicable Law does not permit to be excluded, restricted, or released.

20.  INDEMNIFICATION

20.1.               User Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless YaRide, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, arising from or caused by:

a)     any User's material breach of these Terms;

b)    any User's fraud, intentional misconduct, or material misrepresentation;

c)     ant User's violation of Applicable Law or another person's rights; or

d)    any User's negligent, unauthorized, or otherwise legally wrongful conduct concerning a Vehicle or Booking,

in each case only to the extent the claim or loss is legally attributable to that User.

20.2.               YaRide's Own Conduct

A User is not required to indemnify YaRide for a claim or loss to the extent caused by YaRide's negligence, willful misconduct, breach of these Terms, or other conduct for which YaRide is independently responsible under Applicable Law.

20.3.               Defense and Settlement

YaRide will provide reasonable notice of an indemnified claim where practicable and may reasonably participate in its defense or settlement. A User may not settle an indemnified claim in a manner that imposes liability, an admission, or a non-monetary obligation on YaRide without YaRide's prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

21.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, YaRide will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or lost profits, arising out of or relating to the Platform, these Terms, or a Booking.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, YaRide's aggregate liability to a User arising out of or relating to the Platform, these Terms, or Bookings will not exceed the total fees actually paid by that User to or for the benefit of YaRide during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event or circumstances giving rise to the claim, or  one thousand Jamaican dollars (JMD $1,000), whichever is greater.

Nothing in this Section excludes or limits any obligation, liability, right, or remedy that Applicable Law does not permit to be excluded or limited.

22.  GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

22.1.               Governing Law

Except where Applicable Law requires otherwise, these Terms and the contractual relationship between a User and YaRide are governed by the laws of Jamaica.

This choice of law does not displace any mandatory law applicable because of a User's residence, the location of a Vehicle, the place where a Booking is performed or a Vehicle is used, or another legally controlling connection to the matter.

This Section does not determine the law governing a dispute solely between Users except to the extent these Terms or Applicable Law provide otherwise.

22.2.               Informal Resolution

Before commencing formal proceedings against YaRide, a User must provide written notice reasonably describing the dispute and give YaRide a reasonable opportunity to attempt informal resolution.

This requirement does not prevent urgent relief, require a User to allow an applicable limitation period to expire, or restrict a right or remedy that Applicable Law does not permit to be conditioned on informal resolution.

22.3.               Mediation

 Before commencing court proceedings against YaRide, a User must first attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation administered by the Dispute Resolution Foundation in Jamaica, unless the dispute has already been resolved through another applicable dispute-resolution process..

 This requirement does not prevent a party from seeking urgent or injunctive relief, taking action necessary to preserve a claim or avoid the expiration of an applicable limitation period, or exercising any right or remedy that Applicable Law does not permit to be restricted.

22.4.               Court Proceedings

Subject to Applicable Law and any applicable dispute-resolution process under this Section, proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms or use of the Platform shall be brought before the Courts of Jamaica.

22.5.               Regulatory and Other Rights

Nothing in this Section prevents a User from reporting a matter to law enforcement or an appropriate governmental or regulatory authority, or from using the Parish Court or another available procedure where permitted by Applicable Law.

23.  ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, CHANGES, AND NOTICES

Users consent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to entering into transactions and receiving agreements, disclosures, notices, and communications electronically. An electronic acceptance or signature may have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature to the extent provided by Applicable Law.

YaRide may maintain electronic records reasonably necessary to document a User's acceptance of these Terms and the version accepted.

Users must maintain accurate contact information. YaRide may communicate through email, telephone, in-app message, Account notification, or another electronic method associated with the User's Account. Where Applicable Law requires a particular method of notice, that method will control.

YaRide may revise these Terms to reflect changes in the Platform, Applicable Law, regulatory requirements, safety practices, or operations. YaRide will provide notice of material changes as required by Applicable Law and may require affirmative acceptance where appropriate. Revised Terms become effective as stated in the applicable notice or acceptance process.

Unless Applicable Law requires otherwise, a material revision will not retroactively alter rights or obligations that accrued under a Booking before the revision became effective.

24.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

24.1.               Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any Booking terms, jurisdiction-specific provisions, disclosures, or policies expressly incorporated into them, constitute the entire agreement between the User and YaRide concerning their subject matter.

24.2.               Order of Precedence

Where Booking-specific or jurisdiction-specific terms have been properly disclosed and made applicable and conflict with these general Terms, those terms control with respect to the specific matter and transaction they address, subject to Applicable Law.

24.3.               Severability

If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law or, where appropriate, severed without affecting the remaining provisions.

24.4.               No Waiver

Failure or delay in exercising a contractual right or remedy does not waive that right or remedy.

24.5.               Assignment

A User may not assign or transfer rights or obligations under these Terms without YaRide's prior written consent except where Applicable Law provides otherwise.

YaRide may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale, or transfer of the Platform business, subject to Applicable Law.

24.6.               Survival

Provisions that by their nature are intended to continue after termination, Account closure, or completion of a Booking will survive.
