STEER Technolgies Inc. Terms of Service

The STEER. (STEER) Platform provides a marketplace where persons who seek transportation to certain destinations (“Riders”) can be matched with persons driving to or through those destinations (“Drivers”). Drivers and Riders are collectively referred to herein as “Users” and each User shall create a User account that enables such User to access the STEER Platform. The driving services provided by Drivers to Riders that are matched through the Platform are referred to collectively as the “Services”.

STEER DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, AND STEER IS NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. IT IS UP TO THE DRIVER TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO OFFER A RIDE TO A RIDER CONTACTED THROUGH THE STEER PLATFORM, AND IT IS UP TO THE RIDER TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT A RIDE FROM ANY DRIVER CONTACTED THROUGH THE STEER PLATFORM. ANY DECISION BY A USER TO OFFER OR ACCEPT SERVICES ONCE SUCH USER IS MATCHED THROUGH THE STEER PLATFORM IS A DECISION MADE IN SUCH USER’S SOLE DISCRETION. EACH TRANSPORTATION SERVICE PROVIDED BY A DRIVER TO A RIDER SHALL CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SUCH PERSONS.

By creating your User account and using the STEER Platform, you expressly acknowledge that you understand these Terms of Serviceand accept all of its terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE STEER PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES.

STEER reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time, effective upon posting the amended terms on this site. If we make changes, we will notify you by, at a minimum, revising the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. You are responsible for regularly reviewing it. Continued use of the STEER Platform or Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. If you do not agree to any such changes you may not use or access the STEER Platform or the Services.

Minors

STEER Platform is not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or Users who have had their User account temporarily or permanently deactivated. By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the right, authority and capacity to use the STEER services.

Payments

As a Rider, you agree that any amounts charged following a ride (a “Charge”) are mandatory and due and payable immediately upon completion of the ride. Charges include Ride Fees and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes, plus any tips to the Driver that you elect to pay. STEER has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing at any time. Charges may vary based on the type of service you request (e.g., STEER Electric, STEER Hybrid, STEER gas powered vehicles and body types such as Sedan or SUV). You are responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.

• Ride Fees. Ride Fees consist of a base price and incremental charges based on the duration and distance of your ride. For particularly short rides, minimum Ride Fees do apply.
• Service Fee. STEER may assess a per-ride “Service Fee” to offset STEER’s expenses. Such expenses are dynamic and if any are applied, will be deemed general revenue.
• Cancellation Fee. In the event that you cancel a ride request on the STEER Platform, make repeated or frequent cancellations, or fail to show up for your ride in a timely manner, you agree to pay a “Cancellation Fee”. We may also assess a Cancellation Fee against you if we suspect that you have intentionally cancelled rides to disrupt the STEER Platform or the provision of Services.
• Damage Fee. If a Driver reports that you have materially damaged the Driver’s vehicle, you agree to pay a “Damage Fee” of up to $250 depending on the extent of the damage (as determined by STEER in its sole discretion), towards vehicle repair or cleaning. STEER reserves the right (but is not obligated) to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
• Other Charges. Other fees, tolls, and surcharges may apply to your ride, including: actual or anticipated airport fees, state or local fees, tolls (and return tolls in select instances), and processing fees for split payments. In addition, where required by law STEER will collect applicable taxes. Any tips will be provided entirely to the applicable Driver.
• Facilitation of Payments. All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processing service (e.g., Stripe, Inc) STEER may replace its third-party payment processing services without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the STEER Platform. Cash payments are strictly prohibited.
• No Refunds. Charges are assessed immediately following completion of the ride to your authorized payment method. All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the STEER Platform, any disruption to the STEER Platform or Services, or any other reason whatsoever.
• Promotions. STEER, at its sole discretion, may make available promotions with different features to any of our Riders or prospective Riders. These promotions, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your agreement or relationship with STEER.
• Credit Card Authorization. Upon addition of a new payment method or each ride request, STEER may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify your payment method, ensure the ride cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge, however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or check card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.

As a Driver, you will receive applicable Ride Fees (net of STEER’s Administrative Fee, as discussed below) and any tips provided by Riders to you for the Services you provide. STEER will process all payments due to you through its third party payments processor. You acknowledge and agree that such amounts shall not include any interest and will be net of any amounts that we are required to withhold by law. You expressly authorize STEER to set the prices on your behalf for all Charges that apply to the provision of Services. STEER reserves the right to withhold all or a portion of Ride Fees if it believes that you have attempted to defraud or abuse STEER or STEER’s payment systems.

In exchange for permitting you to offer your Services through the STEER Platform and marketplace as a Driver, you agree to pay STEER (and permit STEER to retain) a fee based on each transaction in which you provide Services (the “Administrative Fee”) The amount of the applicable Administrative Fee will be communicated to you in an Administrative Fee schedule posted at https://STEER.com/fees. STEER reserves the right to change the Administrative Fee at any time in STEER’s discretion based upon local market factors, and STEER will provide you with notice in the event of such change. Continued use of the STEER Platform after any such change in the Administrative Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.

STEER, at its sole discretion, may make available promotions with different features to any Drivers or prospective Drivers. These promotions, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your agreement or relationship with STEER.
