services or goods obtained through your use of the Service, Nawi Rides will facilitate
your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider as such
Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such
manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third
Party Provider. Charges may include other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges
including a booking fee, national, provincial and municipal tolls, airport surcharges and
processing fees for split payments, and will be inclusive of applicable taxes where
required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise
determined by Nawi Rides. You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third
Party Provider for services or goods received by you from such Third Party Provider at
the time you receive such services or goods. Nawi Rides will respond accordingly to any
request from a Third Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service
or good.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Nawi Rides using
the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which Nawi Rides will
send you a receipt by email. If your primary Account payment method is determined to
be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Nawi Rides may,
as the Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent, use a secondary
payment method in your Account, if available.
As between you and Nawi Rides, Nawi Rides reserves the right to establish, remove
and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the
Services at any time in Nawi Rides's sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and
agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially
during times of high demand. Nawi Rides 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. Nawi Rides may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers
and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar
services or goods obtained through the use of the 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. You may elect to
cancel your request for services or goods from a Third Party Provider at any time prior
to such Third Party Provider's arrival, in which case you may be charged a
cancellation fee.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the
services or goods provided. Except with respect to taxicab transportation services
requested through the Application, Nawi Rides does not designate any portion of your
payment as a tip or gratuity to the Third Party Provider. Any representation by Nawi
Rides (on Nawi Rides's website, in the Application, or in Nawi Rides's marketing
materials) to the effect that tipping is voluntary,
not required,
and/or included
in the
payments you make for services or goods provided is not intended to suggest that Nawi
Rides 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 or
goods obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are
voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through the Service, you
will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about
your Third Party Provider.
Repair or 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 use of the Services under your
Account 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 Nawi Rides in Nawi
Rides's reasonable discretion, Nawi Rides reserves the right to facilitate payment for the
reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the Third Party Provider using
your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by
