CHARGES AND PAYMENT

Users understand and agree that payment must be provided to the Trotro driver regardless of any malfunction of the mobile application.

In particular, when using the in-app payment functionality users accept that there might be circumstances beyond TROTRO APP’s control that might cause a credit card to be rejected, and that, in such circumstances, the user must reach an alternative payment method with the Trotro driver. Any fees which TROTRO APP may charge you for the Usage of the Software App (website), are due immediately and are non-refundable. This no refund policy  shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your Usage, our decision to terminate your Usage, disruption caused to our Software or Service either planned, accidental or intentional, or any reason whatsoever. TROTRO APP reserves the right to determine final prevailing pricing - Please note the pricing information published on the website may not reflect the prevailing pricing. TROTRO APP, at its sole discretion, make promotional offers with different features and different rates to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your offer or contract. TROTRO APP may change the fees for our Service or Software as we deem necessary for our business. We encourage you to check back at our website periodically if you are interested about how we charge for the service of our website. It is free to generally use the TROTRO APP website and you will not be charged a commission for using the service. Once you have taken a journey with TROTRO APP you won't be able to cancel (since the service has already been provided) and your payment is non-refundable. If you have any complaint in relation to the transportation service provided then that dispute must be taken up with the service provider directly, though you may also lodge a complaint with TROTRO APP, which will be seriously and immediately reviewed for quality control purposes. The quotes for the ride supplied to you through TROTRO APP is an estimate and may vary depending on the actual pickup and drop off stations as well and other unforeseeable factors that materially affect the cost of the journey. In relation to any transportation organized for you through TROTRO APP you also agree to pay additional charges as agreed between you and the TROTRO APP Agent, and/or as set out below:

 

Fee Payment

The Trotro Driver/Trotro Company agrees that TROTRO APP shall be entitled to deduct from the payment amount (the fare paid by the passenger) a Fee as a percentage of the total fees charged in exchange for the acquisition, handling of the payment claim and the assumption of the credit risk connected to the Receivables for each TROTRO APP Payment fare. TROTRO APP’s claim for payment of the Fee arises at the time the TROTRO APP Payment transportation service begins (i.e., at the time the passenger enters the Trotro) and will be settled in accordance with 1.2.4 below of these Terms. The commission to be paid in accordance with the GTC remains unaffected.

The actual amount of the Fee depends on the TROTRO APP price list in its current version which TROTRO APP provides to its TROTRO APP Business Accounts and which is available at all times upon request.

 

Injury & Damage

You will be charged at cost for any injury or damage to the TROTRO APP Agent’s person or vehicle, caused by you.

 

Relationship of the Parties

TROTRO APP and the Trotro Driver/Trotro Company are independent contracting parties and nothing in these Payment Terms shall make either party the agent or legal representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever, nor does it grant either party any authority to assume or to create any obligation on behalf of or in the name of the other party.

 

Billing for the Service

The Driver shall be charged for the TROTRO APP service. Employee Drivers are obligated to disclose the charges to their employer (Trotro Company).

The charges shall be billed by TROTRO APP at its option on or about the fifteenth (15th) day of the month following the month in which the charges were accrued.  The statement of charges shall contain a summary of the following information: number of successful procurements of Passengers, the name of the Driver, the date and the time the fare was accepted by the Driver and any other information which TROTRO APP, at its discretion, may wish to include. Payment shall be made by charging the amount owed to the Driver and collecting such payment from the Driver in accordance with the provisions below.  The Driver agrees to reimburse TROTRO APP for any and all surcharges, penalties or fees incurred by TROTRO APP in the event that a pre-authorized debit is declined due to insufficient funds in the Driver’s account.

An invoice detailing the charges shall periodically be sent to the Driver by email.

 

Personal Data

Any personal data of passengers paying their fares via TROTRO APP Payment that is transferred or otherwise made known to the Trotro Driver/Trotro Company shall be kept confidential by the Trotro Driver/Trotro Company and shall not be disclosed to third parties, except with the prior written consent of the passenger or as may be required by applicable law or regulation or pursuant to a court order.

 

 

Evaluations

The Driver agrees that Passengers may evaluate the Driver and the vehicle. TROTRO APP makes no warranties or representation that the evaluations provided by Passengers will be objective or fair.

The Driver acknowledges and agrees that Passenger evaluations may be published on the TROTRO APP Software App as the Driver participates in the TROTRO APP Services and uses the TROTRO APP Software App and that such evaluations shall be accessible to Passengers having ordered transportation services.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, the Driver hereby waives any and all privacy rights that the Driver may have with respect to the publication of Passenger Evaluations.
