  1. Payment

You understand that use of the ARCASOFT Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider (which shall also include any amounts which are charged by ARCASOFT for the provision of the ARCASOFT Services) ("Charges"). After you have received services obtained through your use of the ARCASOFT Service, ARCASOFT may: (a) facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider as such Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent; and (b) collect any applicable fees payable to ARCASOFT directly from you or, in the case of a cash payment, from the relevant Third Party Provider on your behalf. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Provider. Charges may include other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges, including a booking fee, national, provincial and municipal tolls, airport surcharges and processing fees for split payments, and will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by ARCASOFT. You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third Party Provider for services received by you from such Third Party Provider at the time you receive such services. ARCASOFT will respond accordingly to any request from a Third Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service.

All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by ARCASOFT using the preferred payment method designated in your Account (which may include, credit card, cash, mobile payment, or such other payment methods which ARCASOFT may accept in your jurisdiction), after which your ride history in your Account will be updated with a receipt for the ride and ARCASOFT may also 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 ARCASOFT may, as the Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account (including any amounts which may be deposited in the ARCASOFT wallet), if available.

As between you and ARCASOFT, ARCASOFT reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the ARCASOFT Services at any time in ARCASOFT's sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. ARCASOFT will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. ARCASOFT may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the ARCASOFT Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the ARCASOFT Services or the Charges applied to you.

You may elect to cancel your request for services from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to such Third Party Provider's arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.

This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services provided. ARCASOFT does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Third Party Provider. Any representation by ARCASOFT (on ARCASOFT's website, in the Application, or in ARCASOFT'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 ARCASOFT provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the Third Party Provider. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third Party Provider who provides you with services obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary, except where specifically mentioned. After you have received services or goods obtained through the ARCASOFT Service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third Party Provider.

Repair or Cleaning Fees

You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, Third Party Provider vehicles and property resulting from use of the ARCASOFT Services under your Account in excess of normal "wear and tear" damages and necessary cleaning ("Repair or Cleaning"). In the event that a Third Party Provider reports the need for Repair or Cleaning, and such Repair or Cleaning request is verified by ARCASOFT in ARCASOFT's reasonable discretion, ARCASOFT reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the Third Party Provider using your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by ARCASOFT to the applicable Third Party Provider and are non-refundable.

You acknowledge and agree that you and ARCASOFT are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
