DRYVER LLC’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR DRIVERS

INCLUDING REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES


    Welcome to www.dryver.com.  Dryver, LLC (“Dryver”) (formerly known as BeMyDD, LLC) owns and operates the Dryver website and the corresponding mobile applications (the “Dryver Platform” or the “Platform”).   

Dryver is a referral service that provides information to individuals or entities (a “Customer”), about where, when, and from whom (a “Driver”) a Customer may obtain driving services (“Services”) and the cost for those Services.  If a Customer utilize one or more of the Drivers to whom we refer that Customer, we will charge the Customer for that Driver’s Services and transmit payment to that Driver at an agreed upon rate.    

    By registering as a Driver on the Dryver Platform, you are agreeing to the following Terms and Conditions, which constitute a binding contract between you and Dryver (the “Agreement” or the “Terms and Conditions”).  If you are registering on behalf of a legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to do so and to bind that entity to this Agreement.

1.    Registering as a Driver.    

1.1    To register as a Driver for Dryver, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in the State of your residence if that is older than 18) and you must submit all of the information on the Driver Registration Form, and any additional information we may reasonably request.  You will be required to provide us with a copy of your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and bank account information (for processing ACH payments to you).  All information you submit must be truthful, accurate and complete.  When you receive the results of your background check, you must provide a copy to Dryver at contact@dryver.com.

1.2    Once you have completed the Driver registration process, which includes the submission of all required information, a successful background check, an interview, and completion of training, an online Account will be established for you on www.dryver.com.  You will receive a password and name for access to your Account.  You will be solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and its password, and you are solely responsible for any and all activities that occur on your Account.  You authorize Dryver to assume that any person using your Account is you or is authorized to act for you.  You must (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or Account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you always exit from your Account at the end of each session. Dryver will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these requirements.

1.3    You authorize Dryver to communicate with you via email, sms, text, or phone calls to the email addresses and phone numbers your provide in the registration process or later update.  

2.    Relationship of the Parties.

2.1    As noted above, Dryver is a referral service.  Dryver connects Customers with Drivers. Dryver does not provide driving services and does not employ individuals to perform such services.  Your relationship with Dryver is that of a separate business accepting a referral to provide Services to a third party.  Unless the law of the State in which you reside provides otherwise, you are not an employee of Dryver.  You are not a, partner, representative, agent, joint venturer, independent contractor, or franchisee of Dryver.

2.2    When accepting referrals from Dryver, you will be operating as an independent business owner.  Your relationship with the various Customers to whom you provide Services will be that of an independent contractor. You are responsible for exercising your own business judgment in accepting referrals.  Your exercise of your own business judgment will determine whether you make a profit or loss. 

2.3    When you accept a referral, you are solely responsible to determine how to fulfill your obligation to the Customer.  You will decide how to travel to the geographic location at which the referral is to begin.  You and the Customer are responsible to determine the method and manner by which you provide Services to the Customer.  Dryver is not providing you with tools or supplies to enable you to provide any Services once you have accepted a referral.  Dryver will not control or direct the performance of your Services or dictate your work locations, work hours, or terms of work. 

    2.4    Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, you are free to provide services to any third parties, including other businesses that may compete with Dryver.  You are free to accept or reject referrals.  You will not be penalized for rejecting a referral.  

2.5    Unless otherwise required by law, Dryver will not withhold any taxes, including but not limited to unemployment or employment insurance, social security, disability insurance or any other applicable federal or state withholdings, from the fees to which you are entitled as a result of providing Services to Customers.  You are responsible for all tax liability associated with payments received for Services provided to Customers.  Except as required by law, you are not covered by or eligible for any insurance from Dryver. You must obtain any liability, health, workers’ compensation, disability, unemployment, or other insurance needed, desired, or required by law in connection with your performance of Services.  All such costs shall be your responsibility.

3.    Compensation. 

3.1    When Dryver receives payment for Services you have provided to a Customer, Dryver will deposit the amount of that payment, less Dryver’s fees (including 5% for credit card processing fees), to the bank account identified in the registration process, or such other bank account you later specify for the deposit of fees.  Dryver’s fees are set forth on the attached Fee Schedule, as updated from time to time.

4.    Insurance.

4.1    As a condition of receiving referrals from Dryver, you must have insurance in such amounts to meet your State’s minimum motor vehicle insurance.  You must have a policy that covers you while you are operating a third party’s vehicle for compensation.  Your personal automobile insurance policy will likely not be sufficient.  You should discuss the coverage that you need with your insurance agent.  Although you must provide a copy of your policy to Dryver prior to receiving referrals, it is still your responsibility to obtain the correct coverage.  Dryver has no responsibility to review the policy or to confirm that the coverage satisfies your responsibility under this Agreement.  You must notify Dryver immediately if your insurance is cancelled or not renewed for any reason.

4.2    You must confirm, by visual inspection, that the Customers for whom you provide Services have current automobile insurance (liability insurance and property damage insurance) coverage that covers you as the driver of the Customer’s vehicle.  Dryver does not provide insurance to cover you or the Customer.  If you do not have the proper insurance, and if you do not verify that the Customer has the proper insurance, you may be personally liable from the very first dollar for damages caused by the acts or omissions of you or a third party.  

5.    Compliance with Laws.

5.1    While providing any Services to any Customer referred to you by Dryver, you must, at all times, comply with all applicable laws, including but not limited to any posted traffic and safety laws. 

6.    Term and Termination.

6.1    Your Agreement with Dryver, as outlined in these Terms and Conditions, will remain in effect until this Agreement, or your Account is terminated by one of the parties in accordance with this Agreement.

6.2    Both you and Dryver may suspend or terminate your Account at any time with or without cause upon email or written notice to the other.  Dryver may also immediately suspend or terminate your Account for cause and without notice if you have, as determined by Dryver in its sole discretion, (a) violated or tried to violate the legal rights of others (b) violated this Agreement or (c) engaged in conduct that may cause damage to Dryver’s reputation or business operations.  The occurrence of any of the following is cause for Dryver to immediately suspend or terminate your Account: (a) your arrest or conviction for of any major traffic offense; (b)  your conviction for DUI (driving under the influence), DWI (driving while intoxicated) or OVI (operating a vehicle while intoxicated) or a similar offense; (c) your operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of any substance that causes intoxication or substantial impairment of the senses required to operate a motor vehicle; (d) the suspension or loss of your driver's license or your unrestricted driving privileges; (e) Your conviction of any felony, or any other crime involving moral turpitude; (f) the suspension or loss of your automobile insurance; (g) your involvement in any motor vehicle accident where you are found to be at fault; (h) your failure to provide full, complete and truthful statements on your driver registration form; (i) your use of a mobile device while driving, including, but not limited to, texting while driving or using an app or the internet while driving, in violation of applicable traffic laws; or, (j) your use of a Customer’s vehicle for any personal reasons, such as seeing friends or returning to your home during a reservation, etc.

7.    Confidentiality.

7.1    By accepting referrals from Dryver, you agree to keep confidential all (a) Customer information, including but not limited to names, addresses, contact information, vehicle information, insurance information, destination information, (b) non-public information about other drivers, including names and contact information, and (c) other non-public information you learn as a result of your relationship with Dryver (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  You may not use or disclose, in any manner or to any person, any Confidential Information except as necessary to provide Services to the Customer or to enable Dryver to collect the fees for such Services and to remit payment for those services to you.  You may not publish or disclose any information you learn about a Customer as a result of a referral, including but not limited to, observations about the Customer that, if disclosed, would be embarrassing or damaging to the Customer in any way, or which might endanger any individual’s safety.  The restrictions of this paragraph do not prevent you from making disclosures as necessary (x) to protect any individual from immediate risk of serious physical or financial harm, (y) to comply with any valid legal process or legal requirement, or (z) to comply with this Agreement.  The restrictions in this paragraph will continue indefinitely and will survive the expiration or termination of your status as a Driver for Dryver.  You acknowledge that a breach of the restrictions in this paragraph will cause serious and irreparable harm to both the Customer and Dryver.  Dryver will be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the restrictions of this paragraph without the need to post a bond.  Dryver may also recover any and all damages it incurs as a result of a breach of the restrictions in this paragraph.  You will indemnify Dryver for all damages it incurs as a result of a breach of this paragraph, including any legal fees, other litigation costs, judgments or settlements incurred in a claim brought by a Customer.

8.    Non-Circumvention.

    8.1    The terms and conditions to which Customers agree when they utilize the Dryver Platform to obtain referrals to Drivers prohibit those Customers from contacting you directly to obtain Services.  By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you also agree not to offer or provide Services to any Customer except through use of the Dryver Platform.  In other words, once Dryver has introduced you to a Customer, all future transactions between you and that Customer must be handled through the Dryver Platform.  If a Customer contacts you directly for Services, you must decline the Customer’s request and report that Customer to Dryver.  The restrictions of this paragraph will remain in effect for as long as you have an active Account and for twelve months after either you or Dryver terminate your account, regardless of the reason for the termination.  A breach of the restrictions in this paragraph is a material breach of this Agreement.  Dryver may terminate your Account for a breach of this paragraph.  In addition, you will be liable to Dryver for all of its actual damages as a result of your breach of this paragraph, plus all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees and other litigations costs.    

9.    Intellectual Property and Use of Information.     

9.1    The content on the Platform, including all text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, video clips, products, software, trademarks, copyrighted information, or any other material displayed on or contained within the Platform (collectively, the “Content”), and the collection, arrangement, and assembly of the Content, is the property of Dryver or its third-party licensors. You do not have nor does your use of the Platform give you any ownership interest in the Content. Any use of the Content that is inconsistent with the Platform’s purpose, including the reproduction, modification, distribution, transmission, republication, display, or performance, is prohibited.

9.2    You may not use the Content (a) in connection with any service or business other than Dryver, (b) in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among consumers as to the source or origin of Dryver’s services, or (c) in any manner that disparages or harms Dryver’s reputation or business.  Upon termination of your Account, you must immediately destroy any Content in your possession.  

    9.3    Dryver’s software embodies security components that allow us to protect, record, and preserve data that is utilized by Dryver in its business operations.  That information will include personal information about you.  Dryver will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from public disclosure.  Dryver may access, preserve and disclose your Account information as necessary to respond to requests for customer service, to comply with legal process (e.g., a subpoena), to protect the rights, property and personal safety of Dryver, other Drivers, Customers and the public, to enforce this Agreement, and for any other reason to protect Dryver’s legitimate business interests.  You may not attempt to override or circumvent any security, recording, or preservation measures, including but not limited to the usage rules embedded in the software.  All information we collect through or in connection with the Platform is subject to our Privacy Statement, which can be accessed at [WEBPAGE FOR PRIVACY POLICY] and which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

11.    Indemnification.

We reserve the right to participate in the defense of such claim or defense at our own expense, and choose our own legal counsel, but are not obligated to do so.

16.1    If any part of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.
