3.0 Charges for the Rideshare Services.

3.01 Charges. As a Member, you understand that a request for, or use of, the Rideshare Services will result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges for the Rideshare Services include the base fare and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges and taxes, plus any tips to the driver that you elect to pay. Revel has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by quoting you a price for a specific ride at the time you make a request. You are responsible for reviewing the quoted price within the App and will be responsible for all Charges incurred by your Membership account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.

3.02 Types of Charges.

  • Quoted Fares. Revel will quote you a fare for your ride at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the ride request is confirmed. If during your ride you change your destination, make multiple stops, or attempt to abuse the Revel Platform, we may cancel the fare quote and charge you a variable fare based on the time and distance of your ride. Revel does not guarantee that the quoted fare price will be equal to a variable fare for the same ride. Quoted fares may include other Charges set forth below.
  • NY Congestion Surcharge.  All Revel Rideshare rides in Manhattan south of 96th street will incur a $2.75 congestion fee. This surcharge will be included in your quoted fare.
  • Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride, you may cancel the ride through the Revel App, but in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You may also be charged if you fail to show up after requesting a ride. More information about cancellation fees can be found on the Site here.
  • Damage Fee. If a Driver reports that you have materially damaged a Revel vehicle, you agree to pay a “Damage Fee” of up to $200 depending on the extent of the damage, as determined by Revel in its sole discretion, towards vehicle repair or cleaning. Revel reserves the right, but is not obligated, to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
  • Taxes. Member is responsible for all applicable governmental taxes, including sales tax, use tax, or VAT, as applicable, related to the Charges. Applicable taxes will be included in the quoted fare.
  • Tolls. Member is responsible for all tolls incurred during a Ride.

In addition, where required by law Revel will collect applicable taxes. See our website for details on other Charges that may apply to your ride.

3.03 Payment.  Member represents and warrants to Revel that Member is authorized to use any credit or debit card Member furnishes to Revel. Member authorizes Revel to charge the card for all Charges incurred by Member, and to transmit Member’s credit card information to Revel’s third-party vendors for the sole purpose of processing such charges. All fees are subject to applicable sales taxes and other local government charges, which may be charged and collected by Revel.  All fees and costs are due when they are incurred, including but not limited to Charges and Cancellation Fees, Damage Fees, or Tolls. Temporary or prepaid credit/debit cards are not an acceptable form of payment.

3.04 Pre-Authorization.  Revel may place a temporary hold on your credit/debit card before a ride to verify that your payment information is still valid, or in certain instances to verify that your credit/debit card has the necessary funds to cover Revel’s fees and costs. Pre-authorization is not a charge to your account, it is a hold on those funds. Once your actual charge is posted to your account it can take up to thirty (30) days for the original pre-authorization to be removed by your bank. It is your responsibility to be aware of how your bank handles your transactions, including pre-authorizations.

3.05 Disputed Charges.  If Member disputes any charge on Member’s credit or debit card account, then Member must contact Revel within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputed charge and provide to Revel all information that is necessary to identify the disputed charge or any cancellation information associated with the disputed charge. If no notice is given by Member to Revel within the foregoing thirty (30) day period, the charge will be final.

3.06 Delinquent Accounts.  Members are billed for amounts due via credit/debit card, or other means as established by Revel. Any Charges, Cancellation Fees, Damage Fees, Tolls or other amounts which are past due may result in suspension or termination of Member’s account and/or use of the Rideshare Services by Revel in its sole discretion. If payment of any amount due is rejected by the credit/debit card provided by Member, Revel may suspend or terminate Member’s account and/or use of the Services, in Revel’s sole discretion. Members are responsible for providing and maintaining current credit/debit card information on file with Revel. Ongoing issues with credit/debit card billings may result in termination of Membership. Under no circumstances will Revel be responsible for any overdraft or other fees charged by a Member’s credit/debit card bank. In addition, Revel may engage third parties to collect amounts owed to Revel by a Member and the Member will also be responsible for any collection or similar fees associated with these collection activities. Revel also reserves the right to charge interest on overdue charges at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowable by applicable law.

9.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Please read this clause carefully. It may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court. For purposes of this section, “we”, “us”, “our” means “Revel”, and “you” or “your(s)” means “Member”. This clause is intended to be coextensive with the dispute resolution clause set out in Section 17 of the Terms of Use. Should there be any discrepancy between the terms in this Agreement and those in Section 17 of the Terms of Use, the terms in this Agreement shall govern any disputes arising out of Member’s use of the Rideshare Services or Platform.

We are committed to customer satisfaction. If you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. If we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section.

Initial Dispute Resolution

You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any dispute or claim relating to the Platform or your use of (including access to) the Platform, any dealings with our customer service representatives, any concern regarding any services or products provided, any representations made by us, any statement displayed on our Platform, or in any of our Legal Terms (for purposes of this section, “Claim”) by contacting Revel customer support at 855-690-9180.

Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and Revel agrees to use best efforts to settle any such Claim through consultation and good faith negotiations, and this consultation and negotiations shall be a precondition to either initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.  If we are not able to resolve your Claim within sixty (60) days from the time the information dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to this clause, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration

If we do not reach an agreed upon solution pursuant to the clause immediately above, then the sole recourse for either party is to initiate binding arbitration pursuant to the following:

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE LEGAL TERMS, OR YOUR USE OF (INCLUDING ACCESS TO) THE PLATFORM, THE RIDESHARE SERVICES, OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce the Legal Terms as a court would.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Arbitration Process

All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding individual arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class arbitration. The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to Revel customer support at claims@gorevel.com.

If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided.

Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense.

The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the provisions of the Legal Terms and will be final and binding.

If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250.00), we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by Company if you do not prevail in arbitration.

Conducting of the Arbitration

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate.  Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.

The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of the Legal Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator.

The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Legal Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Legal Terms is void or voidable.

The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver

You and Revel further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and Revel each expressly waive your respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Small Claims

Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

Waiver of Jury Trial; Exclusive Venue for Litigation

To the extent that the arbitration clause set forth above does not apply, and a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. Further, each party agrees that any litigation between them for disputes arising out of Company’s provision of Rideshare Services shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in New York County, NY, except for small claims court actions which may be brought in New York County, NY or in the county where you reside.

Government Agencies

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in the Legal Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

10.0 CHOICE OF LAW
