Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to Tahcar, you grant Tahcar a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and Tahcar’s business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity. You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Tahcar the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Tahcar’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third-party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation. You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by Tahcar in its sole discretion, whether such material may be protected by law.

4. Payment

Dealerships:

You understand that use of the Services will result in charges to you for the services you receive from a driver (“Charges ”). After you have received services through your use of the Service, Tahcar will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the driver as such driver’s limited payment collection agent. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Tahcar. Unless other agreements were made, all charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Tahcar using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which Tahcar 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 Tahcar 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 Tahcar, Tahcar 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 Tahcar’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially for any reason, including weather and gas prices. Tahcar will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, if you will be responsible for charges incurred under your account regardless of your awareness of such charges or the amounts thereof. Tahcar may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers, subscriptions and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained using the services, and you agree that such promotional offers, subscriptions 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 from a driver at any time prior to such driver’s arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the driver for the services provided. Except with respect to logistics services requested through the application, Tahcar does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the driver. Any representation by Tahcar (on Tahcar’s website, in the Application, or in Tahcar’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 Tahcar provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the driver. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any driver who provides you with services obtained through the service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services obtained through the service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your driver.

REPAIR OR CLEANING FEES.

Drivers and Logistics partners shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, dealership vehicles and property resulting driver error, natural events (Acts f God) during a trip.
