5. Services and Pricing
- 5.1. We offer multiple types of service. While we do not charge fees to use the Boon App, We may charge for certain auxiliary services and options. Complete pricing information is presented to You through the Boon App (such pricing information hereinafter referred to as a “Fee Estimate”). Any Fee Estimate presented to You via the Boon App is valid for a specified period of time, and is based upon time and distance factors, high demand surcharges, and other factors such as traffic conditions prevailing at the time the Fee Estimate was quoted. Fee Estimates for identical itineraries quoted at different times may vary due to these factors. Additional fees not included in the Fee Estimate, including without limitation fees for wait time, tolls, surcharges, additional stops, changes to final destination, other additional charges, variations in ground conditions, and any optional gratuities you may extend to the driver may result in an actual fee (“Actual Fee”) charged to You that is different than the fee initially quoted to You. You shall be fully liable for payment of the Actual Fee each time You reserve or receive Services.
- 5.2. The pricing methodology used to calculate the Fee Estimate may differ from that used to calculate the fee paid to the driver. For example, as is noted above, time and distance factors as well as other factors such as prevailing traffic conditions are used to calculate the Fee Estimate that You are quoted. Subsequent changes in such factors (an accident, gridlock, etc.) that occur after the Fee Estimate is given may require the driver to take a longer and/or less direct route to deliver You to your destination in a timely manner. Under such circumstances We honor the Fee Estimate and pay the driver based upon the longer route he or she was required to take. The Fee Estimate is not honored if the ride takes significantly longer in duration or distance due to changes You make such as requesting an additional stop or changing your destination. Under such circumstances You will be charged the Actual Fee reflecting the cost of the ride based upon the minimum fare, the distance, and the duration of the ride.
- 5.3. A third party navigation service is used to determine a recommended route to be taken by the driver, however the route ultimately taken is determined by the driver in his or her discretion based upon prevailing traffic and other conditions. We assume no responsibility for the efficiency of the route the driver takes and/or for any unexpected delays and/or related charges that may occur, irrespective of whether the route is one selected by the navigation service, the driver, or You, and irrespective of whether the driver refuses to take an alternate route You may request.
- 5.4. Gratuities are optional, and any gratuity you extend to a driver will be passed through by Us in full and without deduction. Processing fees may apply.
- 5.5. From time to time, We may beta test new services and invite You to participate. If You are invited to participate and agree to do so, You may be asked to agree to additional Terms and Conditions.
