1. General Information

These Chariot Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the website (“Site”), mobile application (“App”) or other technology where these Terms are displayed. The Site, the App and other technology are collectively referred to as the “Platform”. The Service (defined below) is owned or operated by Chariot Transit Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Smart Mobility LLC, (hereinafter “Chariot”, “we”, “us”) which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms of any other agreement you may have with us. If you want to retain a copy of these Terms, please save or print them.

Chariot is a micro-transit company that offers high-capacity ridesharing service at our discretion, or can be hired by third parties to service their micro-transit needs.

For purposes of this Agreement, all the micro-transit services provided by Chariot to Riders through the Platform shall be referred to as the “Service”. Riders are collectively referred to herein as “Users,” and each User shall create a User account that enables access to the Chariot Platform. Each person may only create one User account, and Chariot reserves the right to shut down any additional accounts. As a User, you authorize Chariot to match you with a micro-transit service based on factors such as your location, your destination, user preferences, and platform efficiency. Any decision by a User to offer or accept micro-transit service is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion.

Some features of the Service may only be available on the App or the Site. The Service may also integrate with other services or devices, and these features may be subject to separate or supplemental terms (“Supplemental Terms”) or privacy practices – these will be presented to you in connection with that feature.

A few important points:

  • These Terms, together with any additional terms that govern particular elements of the Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and Chariot regarding the Platform.
  • Only use the Service when it’s safe to do so – avoid using the Service in any situation where you should not be distracted (e.g. while operating your vehicle).

6. Payment Functionality

The following terms and conditions (“Payment Terms”) apply to the payment features of the Site and Mobile Application (“App”), which allow you to pay for Chariot services with your credit or debit card or commuter benefit (collectively, “Payment Features”). The Payment Features are maintained and operated by Chariot or its third-party payment service providers.

By clicking “I accept Chariot’s Terms and Privacy Policy” you:

  • agree to be bound by these Payment Terms, which include by reference the U.S. Website Terms and Conditions, which all apply to your use of the Payment Features regardless of whether you pay for Chariot services via the Site and/or App;
  • represent that you are 18 years of age or older and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement; and
  • authorize Chariot to validate your Payment Methods and to process and transmit your Payment Method information to facilitate Transactions as described below.

We may modify the Payment Terms at any time. Modifications will be effective immediately upon being posted on the Site and App or on a future date as we may specify. If you do not agree to the Payment Terms or any modifications to the Payment Terms or Payment Features, please do not click “I accept Chariot’s Terms and Privacy Policy.”

We reserve the right to update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Payment Features at any time without any notice or obligation to you. Payment Features may not be available during maintenance breaks and other times.

Making a Payment by Credit Card
To use the Payment Features to pay for Chariot services (“Transactions”) on the Site and/or App, you must enter a valid credit card (“Payment Method(s)”). Our payment process may ask you for your name, address, credit card and any other associated information necessary to validate and process payments with the Payment Method. All information provided during registration must be current, accurate and complete. For your security, we will store a truncated version of your payment credentials utilizing the last two digits of your card.

Most U.S.-issued credit cards with a network brand, such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover (“Network(s)”), can be used with the Payment Features, though certain card types may not be used. Eligible Payment Methods are subject to change at any time.

You authorize Chariot to validate your Payment Method, including submitting a payment authorization request or a low dollar authorization credit and/or debit, in accordance with the relevant rules of that Payment Method (“Network Rules”). If we submit a low dollar authorization for your credit card, your card is not actually being charged, and any temporary charge shown on your account will disappear in a few days.

The Payment Features use services and technology provided by third-party payment service providers, which are subject to change at any time. You authorize our payment service providers to collect, analyze and relay information generated in connection with Transactions. Transactions are subject to the terms and conditions governing your Payment Method and to any agreements between you and your financial institution.

Making a Payment with Commuter Benefits
You may also pay for Chariot services with commuter benefits offered by your employer/benefits provider, such as WageWorks, Commuter Check, Zenefits, Navia, TranBen, etc. For more information about whether your employer/benefits provider offers commuter benefits, or any specific terms and conditions governing how such programs can be used, contact your employer/benefits provider.

If your employer/benefits provider provides you a pre-paid debit card, you can add such card as a Payment Method in the Site and/or App and your Transactions using this Payment Method will be governed by the “Making a Payment by Credit Card” section.

If your employer/benefits provider provides you a check/voucher, you must provide your check/voucher to your Chariot driver. If no request is received, Chariot will apply it to the largest package the check/voucher amount can cover. If your check/voucher is in an amount less than the cost of a package/pass, you must also have a Payment Method registered on the Site or App. Any reference to “Transaction” in these Payment Terms will also refer to payments by check, as applicable.

Please allow three (3) business days for processing of commuter benefits.

Recurring Payments
You may make recurring payments for Chariot services on a monthly or other periodic basis (“Recurring Payments”) by following the prompts on the Site or App to enable “auto-renew” when selecting your package.

If you are purchasing a monthly pass and authorizing Recurring Payments, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • If you do not terminate your “auto-renew” election within three (3) business days from the end of the monthly term by notifying Chariot via the Site or App, your monthly pass will renew for another 30-day period.
  • For each 30-day auto-renewal period, the price of the monthly pass will remain the same as the price of the monthly pass you were charged immediately before the auto-renewal.
  • Your monthly pass will continue to automatically renew until you notify Chariot that you want to terminate your “auto-renew” election.
  • You can cancel or change your “auto-renew” election at any time by notifying Chariot in the manner described above.

If you are purchasing credit packages and authorizing Recurring Payments, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • If you do not terminate your “auto-renew” election and the amount in your credit package drops below $5.00, your credit package will automatically renew.
  • For each auto-renewal, you will be charged for the same amount as you were charged for the credit package immediately before the auto-renewal.
  • Your credit package will continue to automatically renew until you notify Chariot that you want to terminate your “auto-renew” election.
  • You can cancel or change your “auto-renew” election at any time by notifying Chariot in the Site or App.

Receipts and Transaction History
We will provide you with a receipt of every Transaction made using the Payment Features.

When you make a payment using the Payment Features, we will update your activity on the Site and App and provide you a Transaction confirmation. In some instances, the Transaction confirmation may serve as your receipt and the Transaction also will appear on your card or account statement. Except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of another agreement between us, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all Transactions and other data associated with your use of the Payment Features, and (b) reconciling all transaction information associated with the Payment Features. If you believe that there is an error or unauthorized Transaction activity, you agree to contact us immediately.

Cancellation and Refunds

You have the right to cancel your use of the Payment Features or any Payment Method at any time by removing it from the Site or App. With regard to installment payments, should you cancel an installment, within three (3) business days of the Chariot’s receipt of cancellation, we will provide confirmation and a credit transaction receipt for the amount cancelled.

Except as set forth in the Payment Terms, all Transactions are non-refundable and non-reversible. You may have additional refund or charge-back rights based on your agreement with your financial institution or applicable state and federal laws. You should review your periodic statement received from your financial institution to verify your Transactions.

Periods of Inactivity
If our records indicate that you have not used the Payment Features for at least six (6) months (or another period that we may specify), we may disable your access to the Payment Features.

Suspension or Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Payment Features for any reason or no reason at any time upon notice to you. Without limiting the foregoing, we may also suspend your access to any Payment Features if (a) you have violated the Payment Terms, (b) you pose an unacceptable fraud risk to us, (c) you provide any false, incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information or otherwise engage in fraudulent or illegal conduct, or (d) we notice suspicious activity.

We will not be liable to you or any third party for compensation, reimbursement, or damages in connection with your use of the Payment Features, or any termination or suspension of the Payment Features or your access to it, including with respect to any deletion of your information or account data. If your Payment account is terminated for any reason or no reason, you agree (a) to continue to be bound by the Payment Terms and remain responsible for any Transactions you have processed through the Payment Features, (b) to immediately stop using the Payment Features, and (c) that we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to delete all of your information and account data stored on our servers.
