You recognise and accept that any reference on the Platform or the Services to “verified” information, or any similar term, means only that a Member has successfully passed the verification procedure existing on the Platform or the Services in order to provide you with more information about the Member with whom you are considering travelling. URS cannot guarantee the truthfulness, reliability or validity of the information subject of the verification procedure.

4. Use of the Services
4.1. Posting Adverts
As Member, and providing you fulfil the conditions below, you can create and post Adverts on the Platform by entering information about the Trip you intend to make (dates/times and collection points and arrival, number of seats offered, options available, amount of the Cost Contribution, etc.).
When posting your Advert, you can indicate the milestone cities in which you agree to stop, to pick up or drop off Passengers. The sections of the Trip between these milestone cities or between one of these milestone towns and the collection point or destination of the Trip constitute “Legs”.
You are only authorised to post an Advert if you fulfil all the following conditions:
(i) you hold a valid driving licence;
(ii) you only offer Adverts for vehicles you own or use with the express permission of the owner, and in all cases that you are authorised to use for the purposes of carpooling;
(iii) you are and remain the main driver of the vehicle subject of the Advert;
(iv) the vehicle has valid third party insurance;
(v) you have no contraindication or medical incapacity for driving;
(vi) the vehicle you intend to use for the Trip is a touring car with 4 wheels and a maximum of 7 seats;
(vii) you do not intend posting another advert for the same Trip on the Platform;
(viii) you do not offer more Seats than the number available in your vehicle;
(ix) all Seats offered have a seatbelt, even if the vehicle is approved with seats having no seatbelt;
(x) to use a vehicle in good working order and which complies with the applicable legal provisions and customs, notably with an up-to-date Roadworthy certificate.
You recognise that you are solely responsible for the content of the Advert you post on the Platform. Consequently, you represent and warrant the accuracy and truthfulness of all information contained in your Advert, and you undertake to fulfil the Trip under the conditions described in your Advert.
Providing your Advert complies with the T&Cs, it will be posted on the Platform and therefore visible to Members and all visitors, even non-members, conducting a search on the Platform or on the website of URS partners. URS reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without notice, to not post or to remove, at any time, any Advert that does not comply with the T&Cs or that it considers as damaging to its image, that of the Platform, or that of the Services.
You recognise and accept that the criteria taken into account in the classification and the order of display of your Advert among the other Adverts are at the sole discretion of URS.

4.2. Booking a Seat
The methods of booking of a Seat depend on the nature of the Trip envisaged. For some Trips, URS has set up an online booking system.
4.2.1. Trip with Booking
URS has set up a system for booking Seats online (“Booking”) for some Trips offered on the Platform (“Trips with Booking”).
Eligibility of a Trip for the Booking system remains at the sole discretion of URS, which reserves the right to modify these conditions at any time.
When a Passenger is interested in an Advert benefiting from Booking, he may make an online Booking request. This Booking request is either (i) accepted automatically (if the Driver chose this option when posting his Advert), or (ii) accepted manually by the Driver. At the time of the Booking, the Passenger makes online payment of the Cost Contribution and the related Service Fees, where applicable. After receipt of the payment by URS and validation of the Booking request by the Driver, where applicable, the Passenger receives a Booking Confirmation (the “Booking Confirmation”).
If you are a Driver and have chosen to handle manually the Bookings requests when posting your Advert, you are required to respond to any Booking request within the timeframe specified by the Passenger during the Booking request. Otherwise, the Booking request will expire automatically and the Passenger shall be refunded all sums paid at the time of the Booking request, if any.
At the time of the Booking Confirmation, URS will send you the telephone number of the Driver (if you are the Passenger) or of the Passenger (if you are the Driver). You are then solely responsible for executing the contract binding you to the other Member.
4.2.2. Trip without Booking
Not applicable on our platform.

4.2.3. Named nature of the Seat booking and terms of use of the Services on behalf of a third party
Any use of the Services, in the capacity of Passenger or Driver, relates to a specific name. The Driver and the Passenger must correspond to the identity communicated to URS and the other Members participating in the Trip.
However, URS allows its Members to book one or more Seats on behalf of a third party. In this case, you undertake to accurately indicate to the Driver, at the time of the Booking or when sending the message to the Driver (in the context of a Trip without Booking), the forenames, age and telephone number of the person on whose behalf you are reserving a Seat. It is strictly prohibited to book a Seat for a minor under the age of 13 travelling alone. In the case where you are reserving a seat for a minor over the age of 13 travelling alone, you undertake to request the prior agreement of the Driver and to provide him with duly completed and signed permission of his/her legal representatives.
In addition, the Platform is intended for the booking of Seats for individuals. It is forbidden to book a Seat for transporting any object, package, animal traveling alone or material items whatsoever.
Furthermore, it is prohibited to publish an Advert for a Driver other than you. HARSH punitive measures will be executed.
4.3. Review system
4.3.1. Operation
URS encourages you to leave a review about a Driver (if you are a Passenger) or about a Passenger (if you are a Driver) with whom you have shared a Trip or with whom you were supposed to share a Trip. However, you are not permitted to leave a review about another Passenger if you were a Passenger, or about a Member with whom you have not travelled or with whom you were not supposes to travel.
Your review, and the review left by another Member about you, if any,, are only visible and published on the Platform after the shorter of the following periods: (i) immediately after you have both left a review, or (ii) after a period of 14 days following the first review..
You have the option of responding to a review that another Member has left on your profile in a 14-day delay following the date of the review received. The review and your response, where applicable, will be published on your profile.
4.3.2. Moderation
You recognise and accept that URS reserves the right not to publish or to delete any review, any question, any comment or any response if it deems its content breaches these T&Cs.
4.3.3. Limit
URS reserves the right to suspend your Account, limit your access to the Services, or terminate these T&Cs in the case where (i) you have received at least three reviews and (ii) the average review you have received is less than or equal to 3.

5. Financial conditions
Access to and registration on the Platform, as well as searching, viewing and posting Adverts, is FREE.

 However, the Booking is charged under the conditions described below.
5.1. Cost Contribution
The Cost Contribution is determined by you, as Driver, under your sole responsibility. It is strictly prohibited to profit in any way from using our Platform. Consequently, you agree to limit the Cost Contribution you ask your Passengers to pay to the costs you actually incur to make the Trip. Otherwise, you alone will bear the risks of recharacterization of the transaction completed via the Platform.
When you post an Advert, URS will suggest an amount  for the Cost Contribution, which notably takes account of the nature of the Trip and the distance travelled. This amount is given purely as a guideline and it is up to you to increase it or reduce it to take account of the costs you actually incur on the Trip. To avoid abuse, URS limits the possibility of adjustment of the Cost Contribution.
5.2. Service Fees
In the context of Trips with Booking, URS, in exchange for use of the Platform, at the time of Booking, shall collect service fees (hereinafter referred to as the “Service Fees”) calculated on the basis of the Cost Contribution.
The Service Fees are collected by URS for each Seat subject of a Booking by a Passenger.
In the case of cross-border journeys, please note that the methods of calculation of the amount of the Service Fees and the applicable VAT vary according to the residence of the Passenger.
When using the Platform for cross-border trips or out of the South Africa, the Service Fees may be charged by an affiliate company of URS operating the local platform.
5.3. Rounding
You recognise and accept that URS may, at its full discretion, round up or down the Service Fees and the Cost Contribution.
5.4. Methods of payment and repayment of the Cost Contribution to the Driver
5.4.1. Collection mandate
In using the Platform as Driver for Trips with Booking, you confer on URS collection mandate for the Cost Contribution in your name and on your behalf.
Consequently, in the context of a Trip with Booking, and after manual or automatic acceptance of the Booking, URS shall collect the whole of the sum paid by the Passenger (Service Fees and Cost Contribution).
The Cost Contributions received by URS are deposited in an account dedicated to payment of the Owner Drivers.
You recognise and accept that none of the sums received by URS in the name and on behalf of the Driver gives entitlement to interest. You agree to respond diligently to any request of URS, and more generally of any administrative or court authority competent particularly in the prevention or combating of money laundering. Notably, you agree to provide, on simple request, any useful evidence of address and/or identity.
In the absence of response to these requests, URS may take any measure it deems appropriate, notably freezing of the sums paid and/or suspension of your Account and/or termination of these T&Cs.
5.4.2. Payment of the Cost Contribution to the Driver
After the Trip, the Passengers shall have a period of 24 hours after the end of the Trip to submit a claim on the Trip to URS. In the absence of claim of the Passengers within this period, shall consider the Trip confirmed.
From the time of this express or tacit confirmation, you shall have, as Driver, a credit payable on your Account. This credit corresponds to the total amount paid by the Passenger at the time of confirmation of the Booking reduced by the Service Fees, i.e. the Cost Contribution paid by the Passenger.
When the Trip is confirmed by the Passenger, you have the option, as a Owner Driver, of giving instructions to URS to pay the money to your bank account (by entering your bank details in advance in your Account) or your PayPal account (by entering your PayPal email address in advance in your Account).
The payment order in your name will be sent on the first working day after your request or, if you do not so request, the first working day after the provision of the sums in question to your profile (providing URS has your bank information).
At the end of the applicable time limitation periods, any sum not claimed from URS shall be deemed to belong to URS.

6. Non-commercial and non-business purpose of the Services and the Platform
You agree to use the Services and the Platform only to be put into contact, on a non-business and non-commercial basis, with people wishing to share a Trip with you.
As Driver, you agree not to request a Cost Contribution higher than the costs you actually incur and that may generate a profit, being specified that in the context of a cost sharing, you have to bear as a Driver your own part of the costs induced by the Trip. You are solely responsible for calculating the costs you incur for the Trip and for checking that the amount requested of your Passengers does not exceed the costs you actually incur (excluding your share of the costs).
URS reserves the right to suspend your Account in the case where you use a chauffeur-driven or other business vehicle or taxi, or a company car, and due to this, generate a profit from the Platform. You agree to provide to URS on its simple request, a copy of your car registration certificate and/or any other document showing that you are authorised to use this vehicle on the Platform and are not drawing any profit therefrom.
URS also reserves the right to suspend your Account, limit your access to the Services, or terminate these T&Cs, in the case of activity by you on the Platform which, owing to the nature of the Trips offered, their frequency, the number of Passengers carried and the Cost Contribution requested, entails a situation of profit for you, or for any reason suggesting to URS that you are generating a profit on the Platform.
