    Drivers and Riders are collectively referred to as “Users,” (Restaurants and companies are referred to as Partner Places) (“if Berymo Places”) and each user shall create a user account that enables access to the Berymo Platforms. Each person may only create one user account, and Berymo, Inc. reserves the right to shut down any additional accounts. As a user, you authorize Berymo, Inc. to match you with a driver or rider based on factors such as your location, the estimated time to pick up, your destination, user preferences and platform efficiency for better service. Each transportation service provided by a driver to a rider shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.

  4. 4. Fees and Bonuses
    As a Rider:
    You understand that request or use of the services may result in charges if you fail to check in at the chosen Place.
    • Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride through your Berymo Rider Account, you may cancel your free ride through the app; however, a cancellation fee may apply and may not be refundable. Please refer to “Rider Help” for additional information regarding the cancellation fee.
    • Non-Check-in Fee (“if Berymo Places”). As a rider, you are solely responsible for checking in at the chosen place. To check in, you must ask a qualified partner place to show the Berymo code so you can scan it by using the Berymo Places App. Failure to check in before the place closes may result in charges. Failure to check in within 120 minutes from your drop off time may result in charges. These charges may not be refundable.
    • Cleaning Fee. If a driver reports that you have materially damaged the driver's vehicle, you agree to pay a “Cleaning Fee” of up to $150 depending on the damage. This includes the penalty for excreting bodily fluid (i.e., throw up,vomit or urine) in the driver’s vehicle.
    • Return Ride. After the rider checks in at the place, the rider will have the option to request a return ride. The rider is only able to request a return ride if their desired return, drop off location (drop off destination) is within 8 miles radius of the Place.
    • Service Fee. You may be charged a “Service Fee” for each ride to continue free service for riders.
    • Other Fees.. There may be other applicable fees.
    As a Driver:
    • Bonuses. You may receive bonuses that you can apply toward payment of certain charges upon completion of a ride.
    As a Partner Place (“if Berymo Places”):
    Fees may vary based on the minimum spending limit you set for your customers. You are responsible for reviewing the applicable Berymo Places page and shall be responsible for all charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such charges or the amounts thereof.
    • Service Fee. You may be charged a “Service Fee” for each ride to continue free service for riders.
    We charge a service fee for each rider we transport to your place. Service fee may or may not change from city to city. We give pricing options to places if they want to attract a specific type of demographic by setting a spending limit. For example, if a place wants to set a $20 spending limit, the place will pay a service fee + premium. Our pricing options are: - No Minimum spending (rider can spend as much as he wants) = Service Fee - $20 Minimum spending (rider(s) must spend $20 and up for free ride) = Service Fee + premium
    • Facilitation of Charges. All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processing service (e.g., Stripe, Inc.).
    • No Refunds. All Charges are non-refundable for Partner Places with the exception of riders who fail to check in.
    Berymo Code (“if Berymo Places”):
    Berymo Code is an application that helps our partner places (Restaurants, etc.) easily track how many users check in at their place. Restaurant owners (Managers, etc.) can easily track how many customers the restaurant receives on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.

  5. 5. Credit Card Authorization
    Upon addition of a new payment method or each ride request, Berymo, Inc. may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method and to ensure the ride costs will be covered if you don't check in at the chosen place (“if Berymo Places”). The authorization is not a charge; however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle.
