MK Connect Terms of Service

Effective Date: 26 January 2018

Last Updated Date: 25 March 2021

INTRODUCTION AND ELIGIBILITY

Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms“) carefully before using the Service.

These Terms include ViaVan’s  which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. We have included several annotations in boxes to help explain or emphasize key sections. These annotations are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. 

Binding Agreement. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and ViaVan Technologies B.V. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“ViaVan,” “Company,” “we,” “us”). “You” and “users” shall mean all users of the Service. You accept these Terms each time you access the Service. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the Service. If you are over the age of 14 and under 18 years of age, you represent and agree that you possess the legal consent of your parent or guardian to access and use the Service.

Revisions to Terms. We reserve the right to revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version to the extent the changes do not affect our ongoing contractual obligations and the main characteristics of the Service. If changes affect our ongoing legal obligations and/or the main characteristics of the Service, we will inform you in advance via email. If you do not object by the deadline provided in the e-mail, you will become bound by the updated Terms. Your continued use of the Service means you accept any changes.

The terms “post” and “posting” as used in these Terms shall mean the act of submitting, transmitting, sharing, uploading, publishing, displaying, or similar action on the Service.

THE SERVICE

The “Service” means any website, mobile application, or Internet service under ViaVan’s control, whether partial or otherwise, in connection with providing ViaVan’s online platform that enables users to connect with vehicle-sharing transportation providers in major cities. Each reservation a user makes with such vehicle-sharing transportation providers on the Service is a “Reservation,” and each ride taken through a Reservation is a “Ride.” In determining the fees for and accepting your requests for reservations we act on behalf of the transportation providers and not for riders.

YOU AGREE THAT VIAVAN DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND IS NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. WE MERELY ACT AS THE COMMERCIAL AGENT OF THE THIRD-PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER, DRIVER, OR VEHICLE OPERATOR IN OFFERING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS PARTY TO PROVIDE THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE WHICH MAY BE RESERVED THROUGH OUR SERVICE. VIAVAN OFFERS INFORMATION AND A MEANS OF ACCESS TO SUCH THIRD-PARTY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, BUT DOES NOT AND DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OR ACT IN ANY WAY AS A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER, AND HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY SUCH THIRD PARTIES.

By using the Service to make a Reservation for a Ride you are electing to use a ridesharing transportation service.

Should you have any recommendations, including for additional times and/or areas of service, please contact us at support-mkn@ridewithvia.com.

ELIGIBILITY TO USE THE SERVICE

Children. No part of the Service is directed to persons under the age of 14. IF YOU ARE UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER. Children under the age of 14 are only allowed to participate on a Ride when accompanied with a guardian, parent or other adult who has registered for the Services in a legally valid manner.

No one under the age of 18 is allowed to register with or use the Service without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you are 14 or above but under the age of 18, by registering for and using the Service, you warrant and represent that you have consent to do so from a parent or guardian. If you are a parent or guardian of a minor who has registered for or used the Service without your consent, please contact us at support-mkn@ridewithvia.com.

Agent of a Company, Entity, or Organization. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, entity, or organization (collectively “Organization“), then you represent and warrant that you:

  1. are an authorized representative of that Organization;
  2. have the authority to bind that Organization to these Terms; and

agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of that Organization.

 

Your Account

You are responsible for your log-in credentials and for keeping your information accurate.

You are responsible for any activity resulting from the use of your log-in credentials on the Service.

You represent and warrant that the information you provide to the Company upon use of the Service and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete.

Your Log-In Credentials. To use the Service, you may need to log-in by providing a username, password, and mobile phone number. Your account is personal to you, and you may not share your account information with, or allow access to your account by, any third party. As you will be responsible for all activity that occurs under your access credentials (including, without limitation, the behaviour of any other people that travel in your party), you agree to use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Service and to preserve the confidentiality of your username and password, and any device that you use to access the Service.

You agree to notify us immediately of any breach in secrecy of your log-in information. If you have any reason to believe that your account information has been compromised or that your account has been accessed by a third party, you agree to immediately notify the Company by e-mail to support-mkn@ridewithvia.com. You will be solely responsible for the losses incurred by the Company and others due to any unauthorized use of your account.

PAYMENTS AND BILLING

ViaVan charges a fee (the “Fee”) for use of the Service. You will be charged when your Ride is complete, provided that we may pre-authorize and hold an estimated amount of the Fee on your card before the Ride begins. Your payment to us as the commercial agent of the transportation provider will discharge your obligation to the transportation provider in respect of the Fee. All Fees are non-refundable. Fees include any applicable VAT.

Concession Schemes.  If you are using the Service in conjunction with a Milton Keynes Council concession scheme, you may, at the time you register, be asked to input details of your eligibility for that scheme.  Subject to the terms and conditions that apply to the Milton Keynes concession scheme, use of the scheme will be reflected in the charge for your Ride.

No termination Allowed. After placing the Reservation, termination is not possible.

Cancellation Policy.  If you cancel a Reservation, we may charge you a cancellation fee.  Please see the page   for any further information. Repeated cancellations may result in the suspension of your account, in ViaVan’s sole discretion.

No-Show Policy. If you are not present at the time and place designated in your Reservation, we may charge you a no-show fee.  Please see the page   for any further information. Repeated “no-show” instances may result in the suspension of your account, in ViaVan’s sole discretion.

Cleaning/Damage Fees. If the interior or exterior of your driver’s vehicle is damaged or dirtied as a result of intentional or negligent acts such as aggressive slamming of doors, vomiting, or pet accidents, an additional cleaning or damage Fee may be assessed and charged.

ViaVan Credits and Promotional Codes. You may purchase credit (“ViaVan Credit”) towards future Rides. Purchases of ViaVan Credit are non-refundable and may only be used with the Service. ViaVan may offer promotional codes with varying features and rates that are redeemable for ViaVan Credit. Any such promotional code is valid until its stated expiration date.

ADDITIONAL GUESTS

If you make a Reservation and multiple people are traveling in your party, you, as the account associated with the Reservation, are responsible for the conduct of everybody traveling in your party.

When you make a Reservation, you must indicate how many people are travelling in your party. If you do not, we reserve the right to refuse service to additional guests or charge an additional Fee.

COMMUNICATIONS

ViaVan may communicate with you by email, text message or posting notice on the Service. You may request that we provide notice of security breaches in writing.

You agree to receive email from us at the email address you provided to us for customer service-related purposes.

Electronic Notices. By using the Service or providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Service. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Service or sending an email to you. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please write to us at support-mkn@ridewithvia.com.

GENERAL TERMS

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ViaVan concerning your use of the Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

DISPUTES, APPLICABLE LAW AND COMPETENT COURT

Any and all disputes or claims of any kind between you and ViaVan arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms will be resolved with use of arbitration. ViaVan shall be entitled to apply to any court worldwide for injunctive or other remedies in order to protect its confidential information and/or intellectual property.

These Terms and the relationship between you and ViaVan shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The arbitration will be under the Arbitration Rules of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute. Arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. Consolidation of the arbitral proceedings with other arbitral proceedings, as provided for in Article 1046 of the Dutch Code of Civil Procedure and Article 39 of the Arbitration Rules of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute, is excluded.

The courts of the Netherlands shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement.

The arbitrator’s award or decision will be final and binding on the parties.  Each party in the arbitration will be responsible for its own legal fees, costs, and expenses, subject to the arbitrator’s authority to award legal fees to a prevailing party if expressly permitted by the law under which the dispute arises.

Arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy with respect to all disputes provided that you have not lodged an objection and given notice that you claim the right of settlement of the dispute by the court with jurisdiction pursuant to the law within one month after ViaVan has invoked this arbitration clause.
