1. OVERVIEW
These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) form a binding legal agreement between you as K-Go users (“Users” or “you”) and 102074315 Saskatchewan Ltd., its subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns (collectively, “K-Go” or the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”). This Agreement governs your access and use of our websites, mobile application, and related K-Go content and services (collectively, the “K-Go Platform”).
By accessing or using any portion of the K-Go Platform, you signify and acknowledge that you have read, understand and accept this Agreement. You may only access or use the K-Go Platform if you agree to the terms of the Agreement and abide by all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
2. K-GO PLATFORM
K-Go provides a service which allows Users to connect, arrange for, and schedule transportation services (a “Ride” or “Rides”) for Riders. When referring to “Users”, we mean those persons who apply to be drivers with K-Go, and/or those persons who become drivers with K-Go (“Drivers” or “Driver”) and those parents or guardians, who are legally authorized to book Rides for Riders (“Guardians” or “Guardian”). When we refer to riders, we mean those minor children between the ages of 5 and 17 (“Riders” or “Rider”).
In order to access the K-Go Platform, Users must register for, and maintain, an active User account (“Account”). The K-Go Platform may only be used by individuals who have the right and authority to enter into this Agreement, and who are fully able and competent to satisfy the terms, conditions and obligations herein. By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. In addition, all Drivers must be at least 21 years old. If you are acting as a Guardian, you represent that you are fully authorized to execute this Agreement to arrange for Rides on behalf of a Rider. Any Ride provided to a person younger than eighteen (18) years of age and requested by an authorized Account is presumed to be an authorized User of the K-Go Platform. K-Go shall not be required to verify the identity or age of any user of an Account prior to the provision of the Rides.
Each Account registration requires you to submit certain personal information to K-Go. You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date personal and payment information in your Account. If you fail to do so, you may lose your ability to access and use the K-Go Platform and/or we may terminate this Agreement with you. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, and you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times.
Guardians: In order to access and use the K-Go Platform, each Guardian will be required to create an account (“Account”). As a Guardian, you have the ability to add Riders for whom you will be arranging the Rides. To facilitate the Rides, you will be required to provide certain information about the Rider(s) such as name, photo identification, height and weight, password preferences, and pickup and drop-off details.
Drivers: Each Ride provided by a Driver to a Rider shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons. Drivers must create an Account and be certified by K-Go to become a Driver. Drivers will be required to provide certain personal information to us and other third parties in order to be verified and eventually become Drivers.
Carpool: Shared rides (a “Carpool”) are available through the K-Go Platform. To initiate a Carpool, a Guardian must invite at least one other Guardian to join the Ride. Guardians can set up a single Carpool or recurring Carpools. Each Guardian, as applicable, is responsible for their portion of the fare upon completion of the ride in accordance with our standard Changes. Guardians can accept multiple Carpool invitations.
3. PERSONAL INFORMATION AND PRIVACY
You understand and agree that your use of, and access to, the K-Go Platform is conditional upon the collection of personal information from you to verify your identity, create your Account, and/or certify you as a Driver. Our Privacy Policy forms a part of this Agreement and further explains how we treat information collected and received from you when you use and interact with the K-Go Platform. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully to understand how your personal information may be collected, used, stored and disclosed.
4. MODIFICATION TO THE AGREEMENT
We are always looking for ways to improve the K-Go Platform and may add, change, or remove features or offerings at any time. When we do so, we will update this Agreement and such changes will only be binding on you upon you acceptance of the modified Agreement. Continued use of the K-Go Platform after any changes shall constitute your consent and acceptance of such changes.
5. PRICING
K-Go reserves, at its sole discretion, the right to change, modify, cancel or replace these Pricing Terms at any time or without notice.
Charges to Guardians
Pre-Booked Rides and On-Demand Rides: Pre-Booked and On-Demand Rides (as soon as 45 minutes) can be arranged through the K-Go Platform. You will receive a fare estimate in the App upon scheduling the ride. Pricing is based on estimated mileage, actual time, the number of families participating in a Carpool (if applicable), a booking fee, and local operating fees (rideshare surcharge) in cities, municipalities or provinces that require them. We base our mileage estimates on Google Maps and billing begins when the ride starts or at the scheduled start time (whichever happens first) and ends after the Rider is safely dropped off. If you schedule Rides with complicated pick-up or drop off notes or ask your Driver to wait, it may add time to your Ride and subsequently increase the cost of the Ride. Refunds will not be provided for variations on the estimate fare provided when you book your Ride.
You consent and agree that your use of the K-Go Platform, as well as any service requests submitted by the use of your Account will result in charges to you for the services requested from and provided through the K-Go Platform (collectively, the “Charges”). Charges will be inclusive of ride cancellation fees, surcharges, and applicable taxes. All Charges become due and payable immediately upon completion of the Ride, or immediately upon your cancellation of a requested Ride. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, and applies at all times regardless of any disruption to the K-Go Platform or any other reason. All Charges will be immediately fulfilled, and payment will be obtained by K-Go using the preferred payment method designated by you and associated with your Account, after which K-Go will send you a receipt by email or other electronic message format.
Cancellation Fee: After requesting a Ride, you may cancel it through the K-Go Platform, but please note that in certain cases, a cancellation fee may apply. For more information, please check out K-Go Cancellation Policy.
No Shows: 100% of the fare will be charged to a Guardian for Riders who do not show up for the Ride.
Damage Fee: If a Driver files a report that a Rider has damaged the Driver’s vehicle, the Guardian agrees that it shall be fully responsible for the cost of any repair or cleaning that results from the use of the Ride, normal wear and tear excepted (“Repair or Cleaning”). If K-Go decides, in its sole discretion, that your Rider caused damage to a Driver vehicle that requires Repair or Cleaning, K-Go reserves the right to obtain payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning using your payment method designated in your Account. You consent and agree to pay for such Charges. Such amounts will be charged to you by K-Go and shall be immediately due and payable. You agree to indemnify K-Go for such expenses and all reasonable attorney fees that may be associated with recovering such Charges.
Payments to K-Go Drivers
Drivers are entited to payment for the services they provide for Guardians or other users, as provided in the Terms of Service and Pricing and Payment Terms and any additional terms that apply to your municipality or province. The Driver Fees consists of a base fare (dependent on market) and a combination of estimated mileage and actual time. K-Go calculates and determines the Driver Payment after each ride. This may vary from the Ride Fee or other charges due and collected from Guardians or users. Drivers agree to pay K-Go (and permit K-Go to retain) a “K-Go Platform Fee” based on each ride you provide in exchange for use of the K-Go Platform. K-Go Platform fees vary from market to market and are the difference between Ride Fees and these Driver Fees.
At the time of accepting a booking, Drivers see the estimated Driver Fee for that ride. The actual payment may differ based on actual time of the ride and any changes to the ride details like: changes to the pick-up time, changes to the pick-up or drop-off location, a change from a single family to carpool ride. Based on our cancellation policy, the following apply to Driver Fees:
Pre-Booked Rides:
Rides Scheduled Immediately (45 minutes minimum):
If a ride is cancelled more than 5 minutes after a Driver has accepted a ride, a $8 cancellation fee will be charged and paid to the Driver.
Ride No Shows: 100% of the estimated earned fee will be paid to the Driver.
6. PAYMENT
Charges and Driver Payments are facilitated through a third-party payment processor. At this time, we currently use Stripe. K-Go may change its third-party payment processor from time to time, and these changes will be made through the K-Go Platform. Given that Charges are done through a third-party payment processor, all information supplied to such a provider will be collected and processed pursuant to the terms of that third party’s privacy policy. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with that third party’s privacy policy, so that you understand how your payment information may be collected, used, processed and stored.
