Jake's KAR 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 fulfill 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 authorized to post an Advert if you fulfill all the following conditions:

(i) you hold a valid driving license;
(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 authorized 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 inspection for the vehicle.

You recognize 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. Jake's KAR 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 recognize 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 Jake's KAR.

4.2. Booking a Seat

The methods of booking of a Seat depend on the nature of the Trip featured. For some Trips, Jake's KAR has set up an online booking system.

4.2.1. Trip with Booking

Jake's KAR 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 Jake's KAR, 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 Jake's KAR 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, Jake's KAR 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

For journeys not benefiting from the online system for booking Seats (“Trips without Booking”), Jake's KAR offers a free service (i.e. without Service Fee) enabling the Passenger to send a message to the Driver of a Trip he may be interested in. At the time of sending this message, Jake's KAR will send you the telephone number of the Driver (if you are the Passenger) or of the Passenger (if you are the Driver), if the Member agreed to display his/her phone number. You are then solely responsible for arranging the details of the Trip with the other Member, and you alone assume the risks linked to cancellations, changes of the details of the journey, and non-payment of the Cost Contribution.

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 Jake's KAR and the other Members participating in the Trip.

However, Jake's KAR 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 traveling alone. In the case where you are reserving a seat for a minor over the age of 13 traveling 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.

4.3. Review system

4.3.1. Operation

Jake's KAR 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 traveled or with whom you were not supposed 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 wait 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 recognize and accept that Jake's KAR 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

Jake's KAR 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, are free of charge. 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, Jake's KAR will suggest an amount of for the Cost Contribution, which notably takes account of the nature of the Trip and the distance traveled. 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, Jake's KAR limits the possibility of adjustment of the Cost Contribution.

5.2. Service Fees

In the context of Trips with Booking, Jake's KAR, 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 methods of calculation of the Service Fees in force can be found here.

The Service Fees are collected by Jake's KAR for each Seat subject of a Booking by a Passenger.

5.3. Rounding

You recognize and accept that Jake's KAR 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 Jake's KAR a 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, Jake's KAR shall collect the whole of the sum paid by the Passenger (Service Fees and Cost Contribution).

The Cost Contributions received by Jake's KAR are deposited in an account dedicated to payment of the Drivers.

You recognize and accept that none of the sums received by Jake's KAR in the name and on behalf of the Driver gives entitlement to interest. You agree to respond diligently to any request of Jake's KAR, 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, Jake's KAR 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 Jake's KAR. In the absence of claim of the Passengers within this period, Jake's KAR shall consider the Trip confirmed.

From the time of this express or implied 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 Driver, of giving instructions to Jake's KAR 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 Jake's KAR has your bank information).

At the end of the applicable time limitation periods, any sum not claimed from Jake's KAR shall be deemed to belong to Jake's KAR.

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).

Jake's KAR 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 Jake's KAR, on its simple request, a copy of your car registration certificate and/or any other document showing that you are authorized to use this vehicle on the Platform and are not drawing any profit therefrom.

Jake's KAR 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 Jake's KAR that you are generating a profit on the Platform.

7. Cancellation policy

7.1. Terms of repayment in the case of cancellation

Only Trips with Booking are the subject of this cancellation policy; Jake's KAR does not offer any guarantee, of any nature, in the case of cancellation for any reason, by a Passenger or a Driver, of a Trip without Booking.

The cancellation of a Seat on a Trip with Booking by the Driver or the Passenger after Booking Confirmation is subject to the stipulations hereunder:

– In the case of cancellation owing to the Driver, the Passenger is refunded the whole of the sum paid (i.e. the Cost Contribution and the related Service Fees). This is notably the case when Driver cancels a Trip or has not arrived at the meeting point 30 minutes after the agreed time;

– In the case of cancellation owing to the Passenger:

If the Passenger cancels more than 24 hours before the planned departure time as mentioned in the Advert, the Passenger shall only be refunded the Cost Contribution. The Service Fees are retained by Jake's KAR and the Driver does not receive any sum of any nature;
If the Passenger cancels 24 hours or less before the planned departure time as mentioned in the Advert, and more than thirty minutes after the Booking Confirmation, the Passenger shall be refunded half the Cost Contribution paid at the time of Booking, the Service Fees are retained by Jake's KAR, and the Driver receives 50% of the Cost Contribution;
If the Passenger cancels 24 hours or less before the planned departure time, as mentioned in the Advert, and thirty minutes or less after the Booking Confirmation, the Passenger is refunded the whole of the Cost Contribution. The Service Fees are retained by Jake's KAR and the Driver does not receive any sum of any nature;

The Driver shall be compensated with the whole of the Cost Contribution and the Service Fees are kept by Jake's KAR.

When cancellation occurs before departure and owing to the Passenger, the Seat(s) cancelled by the Passenger shall be automatically made available to other Passengers, who may book them online and they are accordingly subject to the conditions of these T&Cs.
Jake's KAR appreciates, in its sole discretion, on the basis of the available information, the legitimacy of the reimbursement requests.
