2.1. Setting Up a Google Payments Account

When you accept these Terms of Service (for example, when first registering a Payment Instrument), you are creating a Google Payments Account that is associated with your Waze Carpool Account, and which may be accessed at any time by loading the Waze Carpool application and selecting ‘payments’ or by clicking here. You may be asked to provide information such as your name, contact information, Payment Instrument information (including your bank name, routing number and account number for the account, if applicable), and/or date of birth. We may verify your registration information with a third party verification vendor. In some cases, we may ask you to send us additional information, such as a copy of your driver’s license or passport, or to answer additional questions to help us verify your identity.

The information you provide will be used by us to determine if you are eligible to begin and/or continue to use the Services. Provision and use of such data is subject to the Google Payments Privacy Notice, as described more fully in Section 8 below.

2.2. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual or business that opens an account or requests credit.

2.3. Accuracy of Registration Information

You are responsible for providing accurate registration information and for keeping your registration information up to date, or notifying us in the event of changes. Changes to your primary residence address may require you to accept new terms of service for the country to which you have moved. In addition, as certain services are currently offered only in select countries, changes to your primary residence address may result in your becoming ineligible for certain services.

2.4. Relation to your Google Account

In order to use the Services, you must have a Waze Carpool account and/or a Google Account (your “Google Account”) which must be in good standing, in accordance with the applicable terms of service. If you or Google closes your Google Account for any reason, your Google Payments Account will also be closed and you will no longer be able to access the Services.

3. The Processing Service

3.1. Getting Started with the Processing Service

In order to use the Processing Service, you must complete all information elements required on pages where you register a Payment Instrument in your Google Payments Account. You must register a valid Payment Instrument to make Payment Transactions.

You authorize GPC to confirm that your Payment Instrument is in good standing with the issuing financial institution, including, but not limited to, by submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low dollar credit and/or debit to the Payment Instrument, in accordance with the relevant card association rules. GPC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may refuse to approve or may terminate existing registrations for the Processing Service with or without cause or notice, other than any notice required by any Applicable Law, and not waived herein.

3.2. Online Card Processing Service

The Online Card Processing Service facilitates a credit or debit card purchase by a Rider from a Driver that is registered with GPC to receive certain merchant payment processing services. The Online Card Processing Service stores information from Riders, such as their Payment Instruments and other information. GPC receives and processes Payment Transactions on behalf of the Drivers, as the agent of the Driver, through the appropriate payment network. When Rider chooses to pay for Products with the Processing Service, Rider authorizes the Driver to submit charges (and, in the case of refunds, credits) to Rider’s registered Payment Instrument. Payment received by GPC (including authorization of the payment) from the issuer of your registered Payment Instrument shall constitute payment to the Driver, and your payment obligation to Driver shall be deemed completed and discharged at that time. Purchases made through the Online Card Processing Service are also subject to the terms and conditions governing Rider’s Payment Instrument between Rider and the issuer of the Payment Instrument. Rider is responsible for any charges and related fees that may be imposed under the Payment Instrument terms and conditions as a result of Rider’s use of a Payment Instrument.

You acknowledge and agree that your purchases of Products are transactions between you and the Driver, and not with GPC, Google or any of their affiliates. Neither GPC nor Google are a party to your Payment Transaction for the purchase of Products, and GPC, Google, or other GPC affiliates are not a Rider or a Driver in connection with any Payment Transaction, unless expressly designated as such in the listing of the Product on a Google Web Site.

3.3. Permissible Payment Transactions

You may only use the Processing Service to process a Payment Transaction for a Product that is purchased from a Driver through a legitimate, bona fide sale of the Product. The Processing Service may not be used to process a Payment Transaction, or otherwise transfer money between a Rider and Driver, that is unrelated to a purchase of a Product. The Processing Service may not be used to receive cash advances from Drivers or to facilitate the purchase of cash equivalents (travelers checks, prepaid cards, money orders, etc.). You may not use the Processing Service to purchase any illegal goods or services or for any other underlying illegal transaction.

You agree that you will not use the Processing Service to purchase any Products that violate these Terms of Service, other policies or rules applicable to the Processing Service, or Applicable Law. Failure to comply with these limitations may result in suspension or termination of your use of the Processing Service.

3.4. Service Fees

GPC does not charge a fee to use the Processing Service as a Rider. The financial institution that issues your Payment Instrument may charge a fee in connection with the debiting or charging of the Payment Instrument resulting from the Payment Transaction. You should consult the terms and conditions governing your Payment Instrument for more information about any such fees.

3.5. Disputes

GPC will provide various tools to assist Customers in communicating with each other to resolve a dispute that may arise between Riders and Drivers with respect to their transaction.

If Customers are unable to resolve a dispute, GPC can mediate disputes between riders and drivers if either party requests assistance. If this occurs, GPC will review the dispute and propose a non-binding solution, if appropriate. For more detailed information, please email [e-mail].

GPC may offer a feedback or other ranking system on the Processing Service to assist you in evaluating other Customers of the Service. You acknowledge that any such feedback or ranking system represents solely the opinion of other Customers of the Processing Service, and is not an opinion, representation, or warranty by GPC with respect to other Customers of the Processing Service.

You agree to release GPC, Google, and other GPC affiliates, and their agents, contractors, officers and employees, from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) arising out of or in any way connected with a dispute. You agree that you will not involve GPC in any litigation or other dispute arising out of or related to any transaction, agreement, or arrangement with any Driver, other Rider, advertiser or other third party in connection with the Service. If you attempt to do so, (i) you shall pay all costs and attorneys’ fees of GPC, Google, and other GPC affiliates and shall provide indemnification as set forth below, and (ii) the jurisdiction for any such litigation or dispute shall be limited as set forth below. However, nothing in these Terms of Service shall constitute a waiver of any rights, claims or defenses that you may have with respect to a Payment Transaction under the Rider’s card issuer agreement or Carrier Billing Account terms and conditions, the card association rules or applicable state and federal laws, such as the federal Truth in Lending Act or the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

If you are a California resident, you hereby expressly waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

3.6. Refunds

Except as set forth in these Terms of Service, all Payment Transactions processed through the Processing Service are non-refundable to Rider by GPC and are non-reversible by Rider through the Processing Service. You may have additional refund or charge-back rights under your Payment Instrument issuer agreement or applicable state and federal laws. You should review your periodic statement received from the issuer of your Payment Instrument which will reflect all purchase transactions through the Processing Service.

4. Use of Services

4.1. Limitations

Notwithstanding any limitations described elsewhere in these Terms of Service, we may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Services, including without limitation individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of transactions during any specified time period(s). We reserve the right to change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, including hours of operation or availability of the Services or any Service feature, without notice and without liability. We also reserve the right to impose limits on certain Service features or restrict access to some or all of the Services without notice and without liability. We may decline to process any transaction without prior notice to you.

GPC may delay, hold, cancel or reverse processing of any transaction if:

(a) a Rider makes a claim to GPC for a refund or other reversal, or

(b) GPC, in its sole discretion, believes that the transaction is invalid, suspicious, involves misconduct or fraud, or otherwise violates Applicable Law, these Terms of Service, or any applicable GPC or Google policies.

Rider authorizes the charge or debit to Rider’s Payment Instrument, by GPC as agent of the Driver, as necessary to complete processing of a Payment Transaction. Rider also authorizes the crediting or debiting, as applicable, to Rider’s Payment Instrument, by GPC as agent of the Driver, in connection with chargebacks, reversals, refunds, or adjustments through the Service by a Driver.

We may limit or suspend your use of one or more Services at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion. If we suspend your use of a Service, we will attempt to notify you by electronic mail. Suspension of your use of a Service will not affect your rights and obligations pursuant to these Terms of Service arising before or after such suspension or with respect to any non-terminated Services.

4.2. Fraud

If you believe your Google Payments Account has been opened or used in an unauthorized manner, please contact us at [e-mail].

4.3. Unclaimed Property

If GPC is holding funds due to you arising from a Payment Transaction processed using any service described herein, and GPC is unable to contact you and has no record of your use of the service for several years, Applicable Law may require GPC to report these funds as unclaimed property. If this occurs, GPC will try to locate you at the address shown in our records, but if GPC is unable to locate you, it may be required to deliver any such funds to the applicable state as unclaimed property. GPC reserves the right to deduct a dormancy fee or other administrative charges from such unclaimed funds, as permitted by Applicable Law.

4.4. GPC Not a Banking Institution, Issuer, or Processor

GPC is not a bank or other chartered depository institution. GPC is not an issuer of any Funding Account, Payment Instrument or other item, unless expressly stated otherwise. With respect to the Processing Service, GPC processes Payment Transactions through the Processing Service as an agent of and on behalf of Drivers. Funds held by GPC or its service providers (including any bank service providers) in connection with the processing of Payment Transactions are not deposit obligations of Rider and are not insured for the benefit of Rider by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

These Terms of Service do not amend or otherwise modify your agreement with the issuer of your Funding Account or Payment Instrument, and you are responsible for ensuring your use of the Services complies with such agreements. You also are responsible for all charges and/or debits to your Funding Account or Payment Instrument resulting from purchases of Products, in accordance with such agreements. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Service and your agreement with the issuer of your Funding Account, or Payment Instrument, these Terms of Service govern the relationship between you and GPC solely with respect to the Services, and your agreement with the issuer of your Funding Account or Payment Instrument governs the relationship between you and the issuer of such item. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the Funding Account or Payment Instrument. GPC is not responsible for the accuracy or availability of any information you enter or otherwise store with the Services, including, without limitation, whether such information is current and up-to-date.

4.5. Third Party Providers

GPC may have arranged for third party providers to provide products or services to you through the Services (“Third Party Providers”). In order to use these products or services, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions from those Third Party Providers, and may be subject to additional requirements of the Third Party Provider. By agreeing to these Terms of Service or continuing to use the Services, you hereby agree to any Third Party Provider terms that apply to your use of such products and services through the Services, which may be updated from time to time. For avoidance of doubt, these Third Party Provider terms are between you and the applicable Third Party Provider, not GPC.

4.6. Third Party Fees

You instruct and authorize GPC to obtain consumer reports about you, as the term “consumer reports” is defined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and to use the information contained in such consumer reports to evaluate your prospective or ongoing eligibility to use the Services, to detect and prevent fraud, and to create, evaluate, and modify GPC risk management and mitigation tools, and to otherwise improve GPC’s Services.

SECTION 2. SERVICE FEATURES AND DESCRIPTION

2.1. Service Description. Driver acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) Driver’s sales of Rides are transactions between Driver and the Rider and not with GPC or any of GPC’s affiliates;

(ii) GPC is not a Rider or a Driver in connection with any Payment Transaction;

(iii) GPC will not be responsible for and does not control any aspect of the Rides or the description of the Rides; and

(iv) You agree that:

(a) You designate GPC as your agent for the sole and limited purpose of receiving and processing payments made by Riders for ride share services provided by you (a Driver). GPC is not acting for a Rider and is not a party to any Payment Transaction;

(b) GPC will not be responsible for and does not control if a Rider will complete the purchase of or payment for rides. When a Rider seeks to make a purchase with a Payment Account, GPC will receive and process the Payment Transaction as agent of the Driver through the appropriate payment processing network, including without limitation credit card or debit card networks; and

(c) Receipt of payment by GPC (including authorization of the payment) from the issuer of the registered Payment Instrument shall constitute payment to you for the ride share services, the Rider’s payment obligation to you shall be deemed completed and discharged at that time, and you shall have no further claims against the Rider with respect to such payment (or payment settlement failure) or the related ride share services.

2.2. Permissible Payment Transactions. Driver may only use the Service to process a Payment Transaction for a Ride that is purchased by a Rider through a legitimate, bona fide sale of the Ride. A Payment Transaction may not be submitted for capture through the Service until Driver has satisfied any requirements for charging and shipping as described in the Program Policies. The Service may not be used to process a Payment Transaction for Driver, or otherwise transfer money between a Rider and Driver, that does not directly result from a Rider’s purchase of a Ride. Driver may not use the Service to provide cash advances to Riders or to facilitate the purchase by Riders of cash equivalents (e.g., travelers checks, prepaid cards, money orders). GPC may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of Payment Transactions during one or more specified time periods. Driver may not use the Service to process Payment Transactions in connection with an illegal transaction or the sale or exchange of any illegal or prohibited goods or services.

2.3. Limitations on the Use of Service. Driver must comply with the Policies and any other limits concerning use of the Service as updated by GPC from time to time, including without limitation operating rules and/or policies of the card associations or networks that are used to process the Payment Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit A (as may be updated from time to time).

Driver’s Payment Transactions may be protected pursuant to the chargeback resolution policies (“Chargeback Resolution Policy”) as described in the Program Policies.

GPC has the right:

(a) to change, suspend or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, as necessary to perform maintenance or updates to the Service; and

(b) to impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Service without notice and without liability.

GPC may decline to process any Payment Transaction in connection with, among other reasons, fraud prevention activities, applicable law, or GPC policies.

2.4. Prohibited Actions. Unless expressly permitted in writing by GPC, Driver may not:

(i) require Rider to provide Driver with the account numbers of any credit card, debit card, or other payment instrument;

(ii) add any Service use surcharge to a Payment Transaction;

(iii) separately process as a Payment Transaction the amount of any tax applicable to a purchase of a Ride;

(iv) submit to the Service a Payment Transaction that was previously returned as a chargeback; or

(v) permit the use of the Service for payment of any debt owed to Driver by Rider.

2.5. Payment Transaction Authorization. Driver acknowledges that the receipt of an authorization for a Payment Transaction indicates that, as of the date of the authorization, the underlying Payment Account has sufficient credit with the card issuer or Carrier for the amount of the Purchase Amount. Driver further acknowledges that upon receipt of an authorization for a Payment Transaction, Rider’s payment obligation to Driver is completed and discharged (except in the event of chargeback or other reversal). Driver acknowledges that the authorization is not a confirmation of the Rider’s identity; nor is an authorization a guarantee by GPC that the transaction will not be subject to a chargeback or other reversal.

2.6. Beta Features. From time to time, GPC may make Beta Features available to Driver as part of the Service, which are provided “as is.” Driver’s use of Beta Features is solely at Driver’s own risk. GPC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to include or cease providing Beta Features as part of the Service at any time.

SECTION 3. SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION

3.1. Implementation of Service. Driver agrees not to use the Service through any method or interface other than the Driver Interfaces. GPC may immediately suspend Driver’s use of the Service if Driver attempts to access the Service other than through the Driver Interfaces.

3.2. Implementation Setup. Driver agrees to provide current, complete and accurate registration information for the Service and to maintain and promptly update the information. Driver will set up and maintain a Settlement Account that is capable of receiving funds through the ACH Network (or, if permitted by GPC from time to time, another account). Driver authorizes GPC to confirm that the Settlement Account is in good standing with the financial institution, including by submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low monetary credit to the Settlement Account. Driver authorizes GPC to reconfirm the Settlement Account any time the account information is changed. Driver also authorizes GPC to obtain from time to time a credit report and to otherwise make credit or other background inquiries on Driver as GPC deems appropriate to assess Driver’s eligibility for continued use of the Service. GPC may require Driver to provide additional information from time to time as a condition of Driver’s continued use of the Service in connection with a credit or other background inquiry.

3.3. Support. Prior to making any support request to GPC, Driver will first use reasonable efforts to resolve the problem on its own without any escalation to GPC. Thereafter, Driver may submit a written request for technical support via the methods specified by GPC. Any support that Driver provides to Riders will be at Driver’s own expense. Driver agrees that any telephone communications between Driver and GPC related to the support or operation of the Service may be recorded by GPC for quality assurance and training purposes.

3.4 Prior to using the Driver Interfaces, Driver must separately agree to the terms of service applicable to Waze Carpool Service (the “Carpool TOS”) and have the Driver’s Service account linked to the Driver’s account. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Carpool TOS, the terms of the Carpool TOS will control.

3.5. Service Fees. For transactions conducted through the Waze Carpool Service, Driver will be charged a revenue share payable to the Waze Carpool Service, as set forth in the applicable Carpool TOS. Any fee discounts or fee waivers that are being offered by GPC for the Service do not apply to the revenue share specified in the Carpool TOS.

3.6. Payment Terms; Monthly Payment GPC will use commercially reasonable efforts to electronically transfer funds for Payment Transactions submitted for capture by Driver within a calendar month to Driver’s Settlement Account before close of business on the 15th day of the following calendar month. The monthly payment schedule described in the foregoing sentence will apply to all of Drivers Payment Transactions. At GPCs option, and with no prior notice to Driver, funds may be transferred to Drivers Settlement Account more frequently than monthly. GPC may withhold or delay payments to Drivers under this Section in the circumstances specified in Section 6 of the Agreement.

3.7. Bank Fees. Driver agrees to pay all fees, including any applicable currency conversion fees, associated with the conversion of funds and the processing of the ACH to the Settlement Account. Driver acknowledges and agrees that Driver bears all risk of loss arising from any changes in the currency exchange rates between the time Payment Transactions are processed and the time that settlement funds are sent by ACH to the Settlement Account. Banks that process the ACH to the Settlement Account also may impose fees and charges related to processing of the ACH and related currency conversion, and the Driver is solely responsible for all such fees and charges.

3.8. Rider Currency. The Waze Carpool Service may permit Driver to list purchase prices for Driver’s Rides, and a Rider to purchase Driver’s Rides, in a currency different from that of the Driver’s Settlement Account (“Rider Currency Purchase Transaction”). For any Rider Currency Purchase Transaction, Driver will be paid by GPC in the currency of Driver’s Settlement Account, based on an exchange rate that will be applied to the purchase amount (denominated in Rider Currency) at the time the Payment Transaction is submitted to GPC for processing by Driver. The exchange rate will be determined by a financial institution utilized by GPC to calculate exchange rates, and may be adjusted based on market conditions without notice to Driver. If a Rider Currency Purchase Transaction is subsequently subject to refund, reversal, chargeback or other adjustment, GPC will apply the same exchange rate and currency that applied to the original Rider Currency Purchase Transaction in calculating the obligation of the Driver for the refund, reversal, chargeback or other adjustment. GPC reserves the right to impose fees on this currency conversion.

SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL SERVICE TERMS

4.1. GPC Not A Banking Institution. Driver hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) GPC offers the Service to facilitate the processing of Payment Transactions in connection with Ride purchases by Riders,

(ii) GPC processes Payment Transactions on behalf of Driver only and not on behalf of Riders,

(iii) GPC is not a bank or other chartered depository institution and

(i) GPC is holding funds that are due to Driver arising from a Payment Transaction processed through the Service or otherwise,

(ii) GPC is unable to contact Driver and

4.3. No Endorsement. Driver acknowledges that GPC does not endorse any of the information or other content relating to Driver or provided by Driver to GPC (“Driver Content”), or any of the Rides.

Driver acknowledges that, except in the event of a chargeback or other reversal, upon receipt of an authorization pursuant to Section 2.5 Driver will look exclusively to GPC or the card acquiring bank, and not to Rider, for funds properly due and payable in the event that GPC fails to timely settle funds received from the card system in settlement of Driver’s submitted card transactions. GPC is solely responsible for Service Disputes and Driver is not a party to and will not be responsible for any Service Disputes; provided, that Driver agrees to provide reasonable assistance to GPC in resolving Service Disputes.

SECTION 5. BRAND FEATURES

5.1. GPC Brand Features. All uses of GPC Brand Features require prior approval from GPC in accordance with the Google Brand Feature Guidelines. GPC may revoke the permission granted in this paragraph to use GPC Brand Features by providing notice to Driver and a reasonable period of time to cease usage. Driver agrees to adhere to the Google Brand Feature Guidelines.

5.3. Brand Feature Rights. Each party retains all right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights, relating to its Brand Features. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither party acquires any right, title or interest in any Brand Features of the other party, and any rights not expressly granted are deemed withheld. All use by GPC of Driver Brand Features (including any associated goodwill) will inure to the benefit of Driver, and all use by Driver of GPC Brand Features (including any associated goodwill) will inure to the benefit of GPC. While this Agreement remains in effect and upon request, each party agrees to furnish the other party with samples of the usage of the other party’s Brand Features as contemplated by this Section 5 to enable the other party to monitor and ensure that the usage is consistent with the other party’s quality control requirements. While this Agreement remains in effect, Driver agrees not to challenge or assist others to challenge the GPC Brand Features (except to protect Driver’s rights to its own Brand Features) and not to register any Brand Features or domain names that are confusingly similar to those of GPC.

SECTION 6. SERVICE FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

6.1. Service Fees. The transaction processing and other fees for the Service will be as set forth in clause 3 (the “Service Fees”). GPC reserves the right to earn interest and/or other compensation from its service provider banks or others arising from the processing of Payment Transactions that have not settled to Driver.

6.2. Payment Terms. GPC will hold amounts due and payable to Driver (subject to adjustments as described in Section 6.3) separate from GPC’s general corporate funds and will not use the amounts for GPC’s corporate operating expenses. GPC will not be obligated to settle funds to Driver:

(i) for any Payment Transaction for which GPC has not received full settlement in final available funds if Driver does not capture funds during an authorization hold period indicated in the Program Policies or

(ii) if Driver’s earned balance at the time of disbursement or transfer is less than $50 dollars.

6.3. Payment Adjustments. Driver acknowledges that Riders may retain a chargeback right pursuant to card association and network rules and/or their agreement with the holder of the Payment Account (including a Carrier), and GPC will have the right (but not the obligation) to pass chargebacks to Driver. As to particular Payment Transactions, GPC may withhold payments or reverse previous payments if:

(i) a Rider makes a claim to GPC for a refund or other reversal or

(ii) GPC believes that the Payment Transactions are invalid, involve misconduct or fraud (such as fraudulent use of a payment instrument), or otherwise violate applicable law, this Agreement, or the Policies. Driver agrees to cooperate with GPC and to provide any information that may be reasonably requested by GPC in its investigation of any of the foregoing circumstances. GPC may withhold payment amounts to Driver x) in the event GPC requires additional information from Driver to complete a credit or other background inquiry pursuant to Section 3.2, including but not limited to correction or completion of invalid or incomplete bank account or tax information; y) due to tax levies imposed on amounts due to Driver by the IRS or other competent tax authority; or z) due to a fraud or risk flag. GPC may offset any payment obligation that GPC may have to Driver under this Agreement against:

(a) Service Fees owed by Driver,

(b) amounts overpaid to Driver due to a later reversal, refund, chargeback or other adjustment to prior Payment Transactions, and

(c) any other amounts owed by Driver to GPC under this Agreement or any other agreement. In the event that Driver incurs a negative balance (i.e. due to negative adjustments exceeding the settlement proceeds for a particular period), GPC may debit the Settlement Account for the amount of the negative balance. Furthermore, GPC may choose to invoice Driver for any amounts owed by Driver under this Agreement which will be immediately due and payable.

6.4. Reserve. GPC reserves the right to withhold a portion of the proceeds that are payable to Driver with respect to the processing of Payment Transactions (a “Reserve”) to help ensure that sufficient funds are available to GPC in the event of chargebacks, reversals and other liabilities related to Driver’s use of the Service. Circumstances where GPC may impose a Reserve include, but are not limited to:

(i) adverse changes in Driver’s financial condition or its payment record with creditors; or

(ii) excessive rate of chargebacks, reversals, or Rider support issues.

GPC is not responsible for any losses sustained by Driver as a result of the imposition of a Reserve.

6.5. Refunds and Adjustments. To the extent the Driver Interfaces allow, Driver will disclose its return/cancellation policy on the Driver Interface. Where a Driver allows a return, cancellation or price adjustment in connection with a Payment Transaction, Driver will initiate a credit to the Rider using the refund function of the Service within three (3) days of receiving the Rider’s request. Refunds cannot exceed the total amount of the Payment Transaction. Driver agrees not to accept cash or any other consideration from a Rider in exchange for issuing a refund to a Rider. Driver agrees not to give cash refunds to a Rider in connection with a Ride paid for with the Service unless required by law. If Driver provides a refund through a means other than through the Service, Driver remains responsible if the Payment Transaction results in a chargeback through the Service. GPC may reject or delay a refund request from Driver through the Service if GPC is unable to obtain sufficient funds from Driver to fund the refund.

6.6. Taxes and Other Charges. Driver will pay any applicable taxes, including sales, use, personal property, value-added, excise, customs fees, import duties or stamp duties or other taxes and duties imposed by governmental entities of whatever kind and imposed with respect to the transactions under this Agreement, including penalties and interest, but specifically excluding taxes based upon GPC’s net income. For purposes of clarification, GPC is not responsible for, and is not the entity collecting sales or income or other taxes with respect to Payment Transactions. When GPC has the legal obligation to collect any applicable taxes, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by Driver net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice or other notification. Driver will promptly provide GPC with documentation as may be required by the applicable governmental entity in order for GPC to process payments hereunder (including, without limitation, a valid certificate of Driver’s exemption from obligation to pay taxes as authorized by the appropriate governmental entity), and GPC may withhold any payments required to be made hereunder until Driver has provided the documentation. Driver acknowledges that, beginning in 2011, GPC will report to the Internal Revenue Service the gross annual sales made by Driver through GPC in any calendar year where Driver both (i) receives aggregate payments exceeding $20,000, and (ii) has more than 200 transactions. Driver will promptly provide GPC with original or certified copies of all tax payments or other sufficient evidence of tax payments at the time the payments are made by Driver pursuant to the Agreement.

Driver agrees that Driver is responsible for any act and/or omission of any Authorized Personnel in breach of this paragraph.

Driver will not produce or disclose GPC Confidential Information in response to the Process unless GPC has (I) requested protection from the court or other legal or governmental authority requiring the Process and the request has been denied, or (II) consented in writing to the production or disclosure of the GPC Confidential Information in response to the Process.

The Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. GPC will have the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, or amend any portion of this Agreement at any time by posting notification on a Google Website or otherwise communicating the notification to Driver. The changes will become effective, and will be deemed accepted by Driver, after the initial posting by GPC or the sending by GPC of notification to Driver and will apply on a going-forward basis with respect to Payment Transactions initiated after the posting or sending date. In the event that Driver does not agree with the modification, Driver must terminate its use of the Service, which will be Driver’s sole and exclusive remedy.

11.5. Assignment. Driver may not assign (including by way of merger, sale of stock, or sale of assets) this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of GPC. Any attempt by Driver to make an assignment or transfer in violation of this paragraph will be void and without effect. GPC may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement to Google or subsidiary of Google.

11.6. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for failing or delaying performance of its obligations (except for the payment of money) resulting from any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts of God, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances.

11.7. Other Provisions. The failure of GPC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of the right or provision. Headings are for reference purposes only and will not be used for interpretation of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts stated in this Agreement are denominated in United States dollars. The Policies and URLs referenced in this Agreement are incorporated by reference and may be updated by GPC from time to time. The parties are and will remain independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to create any agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties. Neither party will be deemed to be an employee or legal representative of the other nor will either party have any right or authority to create any obligation on behalf of the other party. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and remain enforceable between the parties.
