7.6 Access to the App means that the Members have passed the verification procedure. Reasonable measures will be taken to complete the verification procedure and TangoRide reserves the right to engage suitable third parties to undertake this. Where a third party is engaged for this purpose TangoRide cannot accept responsibility for, or guarantee the accuracy of, any information which has been procured by that third party.

7.7 Members are advised that whilst basic verification checks will be carried out on every Member, TangoRide cannot guarantee the accuracy or validity of the information supplied during registration.

7.8 Members should exercise all due caution and satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the Member with whom they intend to undertake a journey.

7.9 TangoRide is not liable if a Member’s identity is used by another person. If you have reason to believe that another person may be using your account, you must contact us immediately.

8.1 If you are a Driver, you can only make a Journey Proposal if:

• 8.1.1 you hold a valid driving licence which permits you to drive in Canada;
• 8.1.2 either (i) you own the vehicle which will be used to make the Journey or (ii) you have the owner’s express permission to use the vehicle for the Journey;
• 8.1.3 you remain the sole driver of the vehicle for the entire duration of the Journey;
• 8.1.4 you are not legally or medically prohibited from driving;
• 8.1.5 The vehicle has valid insurance (third party as a minimum);
• 8.1.6 The vehicle is a car with 4 wheels and a maximum of 7 seats;
• 8.1.7 All of the seats in the vehicle have a fully functioning seatbelt;
• 8.1.8 The vehicle is in good working order and complies with the applicable legal provisions and customs; and
• 8.1.9 you have provided TangoRide with a copy of your driving licence and, if required, your car registration certificate, insurance certificate, and written permission to drive the vehicle.

8.2 In addition, you:

• 8.2.1 represent and warrant the accuracy and truthfulness of all information contained in your profile.
• 8.2.2 undertake to complete the Journey Proposal, including to the drop off location.
• 8.2.3 Recognise that TangoRide may, at its sole discretion and without notice, cancel any Journey Proposal that does not comply with the terms or risks damaging the image or reputation of The App or TangoRide.

9.1 If you are a Passenger, you can only accept a Journey Proposal if:

• 9.1.1 You are available and waiting at the pick up location;
• 9.1.2 If carrying animals, excessive luggage or particularly large objects, you agree to call the Driver to ask permission to carry the same in their vehicle. TangoRide does not control what can be carried by Passengers into vehicles and it is at the Driver’s discretion whether to accept or decline to carry or to transport any animal or objects.

10.1 You are entitled to decline or cancel the Journey without incurring a charge up until payment is made by the Passenger. Whilst there is no penalty to cancel the Journey, TangoRide may monitor misuse of this non-penalty cancellation to maintain appropriate behaviour towards fellow Members. We may terminate the account of any Member found to be misusing this non-penalty cancellation.

10.2 After payment is made by the Passenger, if the Journey is ended before the Passenger’s destination, the Driver will need to provide a reason for the early termination of the Journey. TangoRide will have absolute discretion to determine whether any fare is to be refunded to the Passenger.

11.1 The TangoRide community is built on trust. We therefore encourage all Members to leave reviews on their TangoRide experience after each Journey (Review). Reviews include a combination of a star rating (out of five). You also have the opportunity to add a short comment (maximum 180 characters). Comments will not be published, however the star rating will be published on each Member’s profile.

11.2 Reviews are provided by fellow Members to rate their service. TangoRide may investigate allegations of inappropriate behaviour reported by a Review, or otherwise. TangoRide may terminate a Member’s account as a result.

12.1The Reimbursement is calculated by TangoRide so Driver and Passenger(s) do not have to negotiate. The maximum reimbursement is set in accordance with the Government of Canada’s 2022 Automobile Allowance Rate at $0.55 per kilometer net of any Driver transaction costs incurred by TangoRide. In the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut, there is an additional $0.04 per kilometer allowed for travel. To maximize the Reimbursement to each Driver, completed trips are paid out once per week which helps minimize any Driver transaction costs. The Reimbursement has been fixed in this way in order to ensure that Drivers do not profit from the App. This means that Drivers may be reimbursed at the same maximum rate of $0.55 per kilometer for a Journey, whether they agree to take one or more Passengers. This maximum allowable rate will be adjusted from time to time when updates are made by the Government of Canada each year.

12.2 The Service Fee is applied in addition to the Reimbursement. The Service Fee compromises of a Matching Fee per trip, a Variable Distance Fee as percentage of the Reimbursement plus any applicable Valued Added Taxes. The maximum Matching Fee per trip is $2.00 and the maximum Variable Distance Fee is 15%. The Service Fee will be retained by TangoRide.

If you want to change the pick up or drop off location before the Journey Proposal has been accepted, this will be possible via the App. If you want to change the pick up or drop off location after the Journey Proposal has been accepted, you can cancel the Journey Proposal without penalty and rebook the Journey. Once the Journey has started, you cannot change the drop off location without the Driver’s agreement and, if agreed, this will be at no additional charge.

We may change the App from time to time to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. We will do our best to ensure that these changes do not affect your use of the App. Where this is not possible we will let you know about the changes and possible impact in advance.

15.1 We are not responsible for:

• 15.1.1 Delays to your Journey due to traffic congestion or problems with the vehicle;
• 15.1.2 Passengers or Drivers being late or failing to communicate; or
• 15.1.3 any other aspects of the Journey beyond connecting Members.

15.2 If you are unable to obtain access to The App due to an event outside of our control, then we will:

• 15.2.1 contact you as soon as possible to explain the situation; and
• 15.2.2 take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

15.3 In these circumstances, we will not be liable for delays caused by any event. If there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Journeys you have paid for but not yet taken.

16.1 TangoRide does not offer any guarantee that a Journey will proceed as planned.

16.2 If a Driver withdraws an accepted Journey Proposal, the Journey is automatically cancelled. If a Driver cancels on more than three occasions within a one-month period, TangoRide reserves the right to temporarily or permanently ban them from the App.

16.3 If a Driver has not arrived at the agreed meeting point after the anticipated arrival time, the Passenger will be able to cancel the Journey without penalty. If a Passenger cancels an accepted Journey Proposal on more than three occasions in a one-week period (for reasons other than the Driver's fault and/or without valid reason), TangoRide reserves the right to temporarily or permanently ban them from the App. TangoRide has the final say over what constitutes a valid reason.

Once payment has been made, Members do not have a right of withdrawal. This is because at that point, TangoRide has completed its contractual agreement to facilitate real time ride sharing.
