Wyth may immediately terminate these Terms of Service, the use of the Wyth Platform, or the use of any services rendered through your use of the Wyth Platform at any time and for any reason.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Terms do not supersede or otherwise impact the enforceability of other agreements you may have with Wyth to provide rideshare or carpooling services. To the extent these Terms conflict with provisions in other agreements you have entered into with Wyth, those agreements (not these Terms) will prevail.

2. The Wyth Platform
The Wyth Platform is a closed loop carpooling and rideshare platform for students, faculty and staff of affiliated colleges, universities, and schools that have contracted with Wyth directly or through their respective student organizations. Through the Wyth Platform, users can enter into agreements with each other to provide and receive carpooling services with the price set by the carpool driver, or users can request rideshare services provided by other Wyth Platform users.
A. Carpool service. For a carpool trip, the driver establishes the starting point, the destination, any stops to be made between the origin and destination, and the cost of the trip based on the number of available seats in the driver’s vehicle. Except where prohibited by law, for carpooling services, all users acknowledge that the carpool driver is solely responsible for the safety of the vehicle to be used, the maintenance of the vehicle, and all required insurance applicable to the type of vehicle used based on any applicable state and federal requirements. As permitted by law, Wyth’s role in the provision of any carpool services is simply to provide the Platform through which carpool services may be arranged. Unless required by law, Wyth assumes no responsibility for the safety of the carpool vehicle, the driving history of the carpool driver, or for providing any insurance (primary, additional, or excess) for the vehicle, the personal belongings or the persons transported within the carpool vehicle. To the extent permitted by law, as a user of the Wyth Platform for carpool services, all users acknowledge that their sole remedy for any claim related to carpool services is against the carpool driver and/or the carpool vehicle owner, and any user of the Wyth Platform for carpool services has no claim or right to remedy from Wyth. Where permitted by law, Wyth is not responsible for erroneous information provided by the driver about a carpooling trip, cancellation or modification of a carpooling trip, or the behavior of the carpool driver or passengers on the trip.
C. Rideshare service. The Wyth Platform provides an interface that attempts to match users in a closed loop system. Users who seek rideshare transportation services to certain destinations may be matched with potential rideshare drivers. As a user, you authorize Wyth to match you with Drivers or Riders based on factors such as your location, the requested pickup location, the estimated time to pick up, your destination, and any selected preferences. Any decision to offer or accept rideshare services is a decision made in the user’s sole discretion, and each offered or accepted service is a distinct agreement between rideshare driver and rider.
D. Driver Representation, Warranties and Agreements. By providing rideshare or carpool driving services to users through the Wyth Platform, you affirm the following:
1. You meet Wyth’s minimum age requirement for drivers for the state in which driving services will be provided.
2. You possess a valid driver’s license, are following applicable local and state requirements to offer driving services to other users and are fit to operate a motor vehicle.
3. You own, or have the legal right to operate, the vehicle you use when providing driving services, and that the vehicle in use is in reasonably good and safe operable condition, equipped with all required safety features, including seat belts for each occupant within the vehicle.
4. Your vehicle is a passenger or recreational (non-commercial) vehicle that is no more than 10 years old and has 4 doors and a maximum of 7 seats.
5. Your vehicle is covered by minimum insurance limits applicable in the state where the vehicle is registered, and these insurance limits provide coverage for bodily injury, or death, for any and all occupants of your vehicle, and you are either listed as an insured driver on said policy or you are a permissive user covered by the applicable insurance policy.
6. You agree to comply with Wyth’s Community User Guidelines.
7. You will pay all applicable federal, state, and local taxes based on your provision of driving services and any payments received by you.
8. You agree that, where required by law for rideshare or carpool services, Wyth may obtain your criminal and driving records prior to being eligible to provide driving services and at least annually thereafter, and you agree to execute any necessary releases to permit Wyth to obtain said information. You further agree to advise Wyth immediately of any change in your criminal background or driving history.

3. Use of the Wyth Platform
Wyth provides a platform for its users on both mobile and web-based applications that permits users within the closed loop system to register as users for the purposes of receiving carpool or rideshare services as a rider or to provide carpool or rideshare services as a driver.

4. Pricing and Payment for services.
Pricing for carpool services. The Wyth Platform provides an interface for users to arrange for carpool services. Based on the distance to be traveled and the number of available seats for the carpool ride, the Wyth Platform will provide a suggested cost for each potential rider. Any rider interested in arranging a trip with a carpool driver may agree to pay the suggested cost, or the rider may make an offer to the driver for a potential seat within the carpool vehicle. Once an offer is made, the driver may then accept the offer from the rider and agree to provide carpool services at that price, or the driver may make a counteroffer to the rider for the seat. The final agreed upon price for the carpool trip is negotiated between the carpool driver and rider. Payment at the agreed upon rate will be completed with the user’s preferred payment method once the trip begins or upon completion of the carpool trip.
Cost of cancellation for carpool services. Carpool riders may cancel their carpool reservation at any time up to 24 (twenty-four) hours before the scheduled departure. If the carpool rider cancels their carpool reservation within the 24 (twenty-four) hour time frame prior to the planned departure, the carpool rider will be charged for the agreed upon cost of the carpool ride. Wyth reserves the right to change the carpool cancellation policy at any time.
Pricing for rideshare services. Users may purchase credit for one rideshare trip for $5.00 (Five Dollars and no cents). Fees for additional riders may apply.
Pilot Program pricing for rideshare services. For the duration of any pilot or test program of rideshare services to be provided through the Wyth Platform, pricing may be established pursuant to the terms of any agreement between Wyth and an affiliated College or University. Pilot program pricing options or incentives will be published to the College or University community through campus postings, direct communications to users via email addresses or cellular phone numbers provided for the purpose of promotional advertising. At the end of the term for any pilot program, pricing will return to standards set forth previously herein.
Cost for cancellation for rideshare services. During the Wyth pilot program, riders may cancel their rideshare request at any time prior to the driver’s arrival. Wyth reserves the right to change the rideshare cancellation policy at any time.
Availability of rideshare driving services. Based on driver availability, rideshare services are offered to users a minimum of ten (10) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, excluding breaks in an affiliated College or University’s academic calendar. Hours of operation may vary from campus-to-campus. Hours of operation for each campus will be published to the College or University community through campus postings, direct communications to users via email addresses or cellular phone numbers. The area in which rideshare services are offered may be reviewed through the Wyth platform. Pricing changes or any change in the days and time of service may be made at any time without specific notice, but users will be notified of any changes with a request to acknowledge a substantive change in the terms of service.
Payment for services. Wyth users understand and acknowledge that your use of the Wyth Platform to arrange and receive carpool or rideshare services may result in charges to you for any services you receive. Users may only pay for services with their indicated preferred payment method registered as part of their user account. Payment methods include debit cards and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express). Wyth will enable your payment of the applicable charges for services obtained through your use of the Wyth Platform. Charges will include applicable taxes where required by law. Charges may include other applicable fees, cancellation fees, and/or surcharges, including a $0.50 (Fifty cent) transaction fee for each payment processed with a credit card.
All charges and payments will be enabled by Wyth using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which you will receive a receipt. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Wyth may use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Wyth.
If you think a correction should be made to any charge you incurred, you must let Wyth know in writing within 30 days after the charge took place or Wyth will have no further responsibility and you waive your right to later dispute the amounts charged.
Damage, Cleaning, Lost and Found, and Violation of Terms. Wyth may charge you a fee if, during your use of the Services, you have caused damage to a vehicle or property that requires repair or cleaning. The amount of such fee shall be determined, in Wyth’s sole discretion, based on the type of damage and the severity. Wyth reserves the right to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing a fee. In the event that a repair or cleaning request is verified by Wyth in Wyth’s reasonable discretion, Wyth reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such repair or cleaning using your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts are non-refundable. Additionally, if you fail to comply with these Terms, you may be responsible for charges, including without limitation, for transactions that could not be completed properly, arising out of or in connection with your failure to comply with these Terms.
5. Binding Arbitration Agreement
By consenting to the Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against Wyth on an individual basis in arbitration as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. By this agreement, you acknowledge that you are waiving your right to a trial by judge or jury, and you are waiving any right to assert or participate in any kind of any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, representative or other kind of group, multi-plaintiff, or joint action against Wyth.
A. Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Wyth. You and Wyth agree that any dispute, claim or controversy in any way arising out of or relating to these Terms and prior versions of these Terms, your access to the Wyth Platform or use of any carpool or rideshare services at any time, any incidents or accidents resulting in personal injury that you allege occurred in connection with your use of carpool or rideshare services, or your relationship with Wyth, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Wyth, and not in a court of law.
This Agreement survives after your relationship with Wyth ends. You acknowledge and agree that you and Wyth are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to bring or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class, purported class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon any claims brought by you or on your behalf, including but not limited to your spouses, heirs, third-party beneficiaries, and assigns, where their underlying claims are in relation to your use of the Services. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this agreement brings claims against any party to the arbitration; those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
B. Rules and Governing Law. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) shall preside over any claim brought by or against Wyth in compliance with this Agreement and in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect. The Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. You and Wyth agree that the arbitrator will decide any and all issues related to this Agreement.
The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement is a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings. The parties acknowledge that they are bound by the provisions of the FAA for all purposes, and that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event the FAA and AAA Rules do not apply to a particular issue before the Arbitrator, that issue shall be resolved according to the laws of the State of Illinois.
C. Notice of intent to proceed to arbitration. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Wyth each agree to notify the other party in writing of any dispute and to attempt to negotiate an informal resolution. Notice of the dispute must include the party’s name, contact information, a description of the dispute, any proof that the party intends to provide in support of the alleged dispute, and a detailed description of the relief sought. Notice to Wyth must be sent to LegalNotice@GoWyth.com. Neither party shall initiate arbitration until 30 days after the notice is sent, and all parties agree to use this 30-day period to engage in good faith efforts to try to resolve any alleged dispute. To facilitate these efforts, both parties agree that the statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this required resolution process.
After service of notice and the passage of the required 30-day waiting period, either party may choose to initiate arbitration by serving a written Demand for Arbitration and file the Demand with AAA as specified in the AAA Rules. Any party seeking to initiate an arbitration against Wyth must serve Wyth through its registered agent. The Arbitrator will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator after a good faith meet and confer effort, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
D. Location for Arbitration. Unless you and Wyth otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county of the state where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Wyth submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing, or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
E. Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration, you may seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent permitted under applicable law.
F. Fees. The responsibility for you to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
G. Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
