Driver Terms and Conditions – Wingz Help Center

Wingz Inc. (“Wingz”) maintains an on-line enabled software-as-a-service platform (“Wingz Software”) where persons seeking transportation (“Passenger Clients”) can connect directly with Driver Clients (“Driver Clients”) to facilitate and book pre-arranged transportation in the Driver Clients’ vehicle(s) and which enables payment of fees for that transportation (“Services”). Access to the Wingz Software is obtained through a mobile Internet Application (“Wingz Application” or the “Application”) owned and operated by Wingz (“Wingz” “we,” or “us”) and licensed to the Driver Clients. In order to participate as a Wingz Driver Client (“you”), you become a licensed user of Wingz Software-as-a-Service and agree to these Terms and Conditions for authorized users of that software (“Wingz Software Client”). Subject to these Terms and Conditions between Wingz and you, as well as compliance with the Wingz Community Guidelines (which are available on the Wingz website at https://wingz.com/community-guidelines), you will have access to the Application to receive and review requests for service from Passenger Clients and to collect payment from those Passenger Clients.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Software-as-a-Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions constitute an electronic contract that sets out the legally binding terms of the relationship between Wingz and you in your capacity as a Wingz Driver Client and as a Wingz Software Client. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully.

Wingz reserves the right to change, modify, remove, add to, and terminate these Terms and Conditions or any provision thereof, at any time, at its sole discretion, effective upon making the modified provisions available on the Application, with or without your notice or consent. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms and Conditions. Continued use of the Application after any such changes are made to these Terms and Conditions shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Use of the Application is permitted only by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law and who meet all applicable regulatory requirements for providing passenger transportation services in a personal vehicle. Accordingly, you must be at least 25 years old, have had for at least one year a valid license to drive a Passenger vehicle in the jurisdiction in which you are providing Services, and be legally authorized to work in the United States to become a Driver Client. You must also not be legally barred from driving a ride-sharing vehicle per the requirements of any applicable law, regulation, or ordinance (for example, laws or regulations prohibiting individuals convicted of certain crimes from driving a vehicle through a Transportation Network Company (“TNC”). If you do not meet these legal qualifications, you should not apply to become (or, if applicable, you must cease engaging as) a Driver Client or Software Client. All Drivers used to perform services under these Terms and Conditions must also satisfy the credentialing and training requirements used by the relevant state and/or federal agencies or departments in the state(s) in which the Driver performs services. Thus, if your training or credentialing qualifications lapse, you may be suspended from the Platform.

By accessing the Application, you accept these Terms and Conditions and agree to the terms, conditions, and notices contained and/or referenced herein.

1. DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms are defined as set forth below or elsewhere in the Agreement.

1.1 “Services” means the services specified in a Wingz Request for services to be provided by a Driver Client to a Passenger Client; specifically, pre-arranged transportation services using the Application to connect Passenger Clients with Driver Clients who will provide transportation services using the Driver Client’s personal vehicle.

1.2 “Wingz Request” means a notice provided, through the Application, to one or more Driver Clients, which includes a description of the Services to be optionally provided by the Driver Client, the time by which at which the services are to be provided (the “Wingz Completion Date”) and the rate of payment associated with the Wingz Request(the “Payment”). An open request is a request for Services that has not yet been filled (“Open Request”). Driver Clients can use the Application to review Open Requests and optionally decide to accept Open Requests. Once a Driver Client has accepted a Wingz Request pursuant to Section 2, the Wingz Request will become a “Wingz Engagement.”

1.3 “Wingz Mobile Application” or “Application” means the proprietary software application that Wingz licenses to Passenger Clients and Driver Clients to facilitate the provision of Services.

2. DRIVER CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS

2.1 Background Checks. As part of your initial registration with Wingz, you agree to immediately execute a written consent for a background check (which may include but not be limited to a criminal history check, motor vehicle record check, and drug and/or alcohol screening) to be conducted by an independent third party. Subject to satisfactory completion of any and all required background checks (which will be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws) and agreement to the terms herein, you will be eligible to use the Wingz Mobile Application to view and accept Wingz Requests. Such background checks also may be conducted at any time while providing Services under these Terms and Conditions.

2.2 Automobile Insurance. You agree to maintain at your cost automobile insurance valid for transporting passengers arranged through a transportation network company and a valid driver’s license. You are advised that personal automobile insurance policies will normally not provide coverage when a Driver Client uses a vehicle in connection with a transportation network company's online-enabled application or platform and that personal automobile insurance policies will not normally provide collision or comprehensive coverage for damage to the vehicle used by the Driver Client when a Driver Client is giving a ride or on his way to go pick up a Passenger Client who requested a ride on Wingz. While Wingz currently maintains a commercial automobile insurance policy covering Passenger Clients of up to at least $1 Million per accident, you understand and agree that Wingz’s commercial automobile insurance policy does not provide coverage to you or your vehicle(s) in the event of an accident or other loss. You further agree that, in the event of an accident while providing services to a Passenger Client, you will comply with any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation; make any required contact with or report to your insurance carrier; and have available for law enforcement inspection evidence of your personal insurance and Wingz’s commercial insurance.

2.3 Other Insurance. You acknowledge that you are a Driver Client and as such an independent contractor, not an employee of Wingz. As such, unless otherwise required by applicable law, ordinance or regulation, you are not covered by any insurance that may be provided by Wingz to its employees, including, without limitation, health insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, general liability insurance, and automobile liability insurance. As an independent contractor, you are solely and exclusively responsible for and agree to provide your own insurance. Specifically, in the event that you are injured while in the course and scope of an engagement sourced through Wingz, you acknowledge, understand and agree that you will not be covered by any workers’ compensation insurance coverage that Wingz may provide to its employees. Further, in the event that your actions cause an injury to a third party while you are in the course and scope of an engagement sourced through Wingz, you acknowledge and understand that you will not be covered by any general liability or automobile liability insurance coverage that Wingz may have, and that Wingz is not making any commitment to defend and/or indemnify you in such circumstances, and specifically denies such obligation.

2.4 Vehicle Used To Provide Services. In providing Services to Passenger Clients, you agree consistent with applicable law, ordinance or regulation to use street-legal coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, convertibles, or light-duty vehicles including vans, minivans, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks and that such vehicles are not modified significantly from factory specifications (e.g., no stretch vehicles). You also agree that you will not transport more than seven (7) passengers on any one ride. You further agree that your vehicle used to provide Services to Passenger Clients is in good operating condition and meets the industry safety standards and all applicable statutory and state department of motor vehicle requirements for a vehicle of its kind and that any and all applicable safety recalls have been or will be remedied per manufacturer instructions. You will be solely responsible for any and all liability which results from or is alleged as a result of the operation of the vehicle you use to transport Passenger Clients, including, but not limited to personal injuries, death and property damages.

2.5 Compliance With Non-Discrimination Requirements. You represent that you understand and agree to comply with all legal requirements to provide services on a nondiscriminatory basis, including refraining from harassment, with respect to sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation and any other basis protected by applicable law.

2.6 Vehicle Inspection. You agree to conduct a vehicle inspection of the vehicle you intend to use to provide services to Wingz’s Passenger Clients, to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or ordinance. Any legally required inspection must be satisfactorily completed before you may provide driving services to Passenger Clients.

2.7 Obey All Laws. You agree to follow all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations when providing services to a Passenger Client, including but not limited to obeying all traffic laws and regulations.

2.8 Zero Tolerance Intoxicating Substance Policy. Consistent with its legal obligations, Wingz has adopted a Zero Tolerance Intoxicating Substances Policy, a copy of which will be provided to you during your product orientation. You understand and agree that Passenger Clients will be encouraged to report to Wingz any violation of the policy and that you will be deactivated from providing services to Passenger Clients until completion of Wingz’s investigation of the incident and that these Terms and Conditions may be terminated if Wingz’s investigation determines you violated the policy.

2.9 Accepting Open Requests. By registering to become a Driver Client and accepting an Open Request, you agree to use your best efforts to perform the Wingz Engagement such that the Services are satisfactory to the Passenger Client, for whom the Open Request was created. Once a Driver Client has accepted a Wingz Request, the Open Request will no longer be available for performance by other Driver Clients who received the Open Request. By accepting an Open Request, you are entering into a binding legal agreement to provide the Services for the Payment specified in the Open Request. Do not accept an Open Request unless you are sure that you understand what you are being asked to deliver, can get to and from the Passenger Client’s location safely, and can deliver the Services in the requested time period.

2.10 No Street Hails and Cash Payments. You will not, while providing the Services, operate as a public carrier or taxi service, accept street hails, charge for rides (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), demand that a rider pay in cash, or use a credit card reader, such as a Square Reader, to accept payment or engage in any other activity in a manner that is inconsistent with your obligations under this Agreement.

3. SOFTWARE CLIENT OBLIGATIONS

Wingz and Client desire to enter into a supplier relationship that grants Client the right to access Wingz’s technology for Client’s Passenger Clients, also known as Riders.

3.1 Rights. Subject to the terms of these Terms and Conditions, Wingz hereby grants Client the non-exclusive, revocable right to use the Wingz Software to find and collect payment from clients willing to pay for rides. These rights will terminate upon suspension or termination of Client’s status as a Driver Client.

3.2 Network. Client shall have the right to use Wingz’s Software and functionalities for the acquisition of and communications with Client’s Rider Passenger Clients. These Terms and Conditions do not limit or otherwise restrict your ability to use other software platforms to provide similar Services.

4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP

Wingz provides motivated individuals with the opportunity to establish and grow their own business. You are not required to work any particular schedule, expected to work a certain amount of hours, or even provide services at all. You are an independent contractor who decides when and if you want to provide transportation to Passenger Clients through the use of the Wingz Software. You are free to work with other companies if you so choose. As an independent contractor, you rely on your own skill, education, and training in performing under these Terms and Conditions, if you choose to do so; you are solely responsible for your actions and inactions; and you are solely responsible for determining the manner and means by which you provide services to the Passenger Clients you decide to offer services to (subject to these Terms and Conditions). Accordingly, nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to or should be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employer-employee relationship between Wingz and you or between the Passenger Client and you. You are not an employee or agent of Wingz or thePassenger Client; you may not act as or represent to any third party that you are an employee or agent of Wingz or the Passenger Client; and you are not authorized, and must not represent to any third party that you are authorized, to make any contract, agreement, obligation, or commitment, or otherwise act, on behalf of Wingz or the Passenger Client. You shall not undertake or allow any actions contrary to the letter and spirit of these Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein should be construed to prevent or prohibit you from performing work for other individuals or entities while performing services pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

4.1 Benefits and Contributions. You (and your spouse and dependents) are not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that Wingz or other related entities may make available to its employees, such as group insurance, workers’ compensation insurance benefits, stock-options, profit-sharing, or retirement benefits. You waive all rights to such benefits, including any right to file a claim for any employee benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), applicable state or local law, or any Wingz policy, practice, procedure, or program. Because you are a Driver Client and an independent contractor, Wingz will not withhold or make payments for income or payroll taxes or social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on your behalf. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, you are reclassified as an employee of Wingz, or any affiliate of Wingz (“Affiliate”), by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”), an arbitrator, or any other federal, state or foreign court or agency, you agree that you will not, as the result of such reclassification, be entitled to or eligible for, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, any employee benefits under any plans or programs established or maintained by either Wingz or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related entities or by the Passenger Client and any related persons or entities.

4.2 Taxes. You are solely responsible for filing all tax returns and submitting all payments as required by any federal, state, local, or foreign tax authority arising from the payment of Payments to you under these Terms and Conditions, and you agree to do so in a timely manner. You agree that you will comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws governing self-employed individuals, including laws requiring the payment of taxes, such as income and employment taxes, and social security, disability and other contributions. To the extent required by the IRS and state or local tax authorities, Wingz will report the Payments paid to you for services rendered as part of Wingzengagements by filing Form 1099-K or 1099-MISC with such tax authorities. You agree to indemnify Wingz and hold Wingz harmless for the cost of any tax liabilities, interest and penalties incurred by Wingz as a result of your failure to pay all applicable taxes in a timely manner.

11. TERMINATION

11.1 Termination by You or Wingz. Either Wingz or you may terminate these Terms and Conditions with respect to you and your providing Services hereunder for any reason, or for no reason at all, at any time upon written notice to the other party. Both Wingz and you acknowledge that, other than the aforementioned termination notice, no other actions are necessary for either party to terminate these Terms and Conditions with respect to you and your providing Services hereunder. The basis for termination may include, but is not limited to: (a) you have not received a request forservices within three calendar months; (b) you have not accepted a Wingz Engagement in the previous three calendar months; (c) your material breach of any of your obligations under these Terms and Conditions, which includes but is not limited to failing to comply with the requirements set forth in applicable state or local requirements for Driver Clients using their personal vehicles to provide services arranged through a TNC, your driving a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating substances, your failure to complete an engagement, your failure to show up when you have accepted an engagement, or your failure to complete the ride to the specifications of the Wingz Request; (d) you are not permitted by applicable law, ordinance, or regulation to be a TNC Driver (and therefore cannot be a Wingz Driver Client) (for example, due to a disqualifying criminal conviction or arrest, license revocation or suspension, or an unacceptable driving record as determined in Wingz’s sole discretion); (e) Wingz’s material breach of any of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions; and (f) any other lawful reason. Wingz shall not be liable for, nor shall you be liable to perform, any Services, payments, or expenses incurred after the receipt of notice of termination, except as set forth expressly in these Terms and Conditions or as otherwise required by law.

11.2 Deactivation from Platform. In addition, you agree that, if you are arrested or charged with any criminal offense which, if convicted, would bar you under applicable law, ordinance or regulation from being a TNC Driver, you agree to report the arrest or being charged to Wingz within 48 hours, and you further agree that you may be deactivated from access to the Wingz platform from the time of your arrest or being criminally charged until such time as you report that the charges have been adjudicated or dismissed without conviction of a disqualifying offense. If the charges result in a disqualifying conviction, you legally will no longer be authorized to provide services to Wingz’s Passenger Clients, and you agree that Wingz may terminate these Terms and Conditions upon written notice to you.

You also agree that Wingz may deactivate your access to the Wingz platform while it investigates complaints received from Passenger Clients regarding you or the services you provide and that Wingz may deactivate your access or terminate these Terms and Conditions in the event it determines, in its sole discretion, following its investigation that you materially breached the terms of these Terms and Conditions (such as by driving unsafely or recklessly or engaging in conduct that violates the Community Guidelines) or violated any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation, including but not limited to the common law and laws, ordinances, or regulations governing the conduct of TNCDrivers. By way of example, engaging in racial slurs or other forms of harassment, striking a Passenger Client or committing assault or battery, reckless driving or other violation of traffic laws, and failure to permit an authorized service animal to ride in your vehicle or other form of discrimination on the basis of disability are examples of conduct that can result in deactivation or termination of these Terms and Conditions.

Wingz may also deactivate your access to the Wingz platform or terminate these Terms and Conditions if, two times within a calendar year, you fail to either provide at least 20 minutes advance notice to Wingz of inability to arrive at a pick-up location by the agreed-upon time or if you fail to arrive by the scheduled pick-up time (i.e. a “No-Show”) of an accepted ride.

11.3 Survival. Sections 4 (“Independent Contractor Relationship”), 5 (“Confidentiality”), 8 (“No Conflicts”), 9(“Representations and Warranties”), 10 (“Limitation of Liability”), and 12 (“General Provisions”) will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms and Conditions. Termination or expiration of these Terms and Conditions will not affect either party’s liability for any breach of these Terms and Conditions such party may have committed before such expiration or termination.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Law. These Terms and Conditions or any claim, cause, of action or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions shall be governed, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia, notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles.

12.2 Arbitration. If you and Wingz are unable to resolve a dispute within 60 days of your original claim, you and Wingz agree to the following process:

In accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, except as provided for below, you and Wingz agree to the final and binding resolution by arbitration of any claim (including, but not limited to, a claim for compensation, breach of contract, interpretation or enforceability of these Terms and Conditions, and any other claim for violation of any federal, state or local law) that you may have against Wingz or any of its related entities, their predecessors or successors, or its or their partners, owners, officers, directors, shareholders, administrators, employees, insurers, attorneys, or agents, in their capacity as such or otherwise; and any such claim that Wingz may have against you. Any arbitration pursuant to these Terms and Conditions shall be conducted before a single arbitrator affiliated with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The place of the arbitration shall be held in the State and a County in which you provide services to Passenger Clients, at a location to be determined by the arbitrator in the arbitrator’s sole discretion, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. If the claims are in any way predicated on allegations of an employment relationship, they shall be resolved under the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules then in effect for AAA, except as provided herein. Any other claims will be resolved under the AAA rules designated by the arbitrator; any dispute as to the applicable rules will be resolved by the arbitrator. Copies of the rules may be obtained from the AAA’s website: www.adr.org. The fees of the Arbitrator shall be assessed as called for under the relevant rules and applicable law. If you are unable to access or print the AAA rules, you may obtain a printout of the rules by requesting one from Wingz via email at ask@wingz.com.

The party wishing to initiate arbitration must submit a written demand for arbitration. If you initiate a Claim, you will submit the demand by certified mail to Wingz’s Agent of Service of Process for the state in which you provide Services. If Wingz initiates a claim, Wingz will serve a written demand for arbitration upon you by email to the email address on file with Wingz, and may send a copy by certified mail to your last known address (or to another address specified by you in your notice of dispute of your informal claim). You agree to service of process in that manner. Any demand for arbitration by either party shall identify the parties to the dispute, describe the legal and factual basis of the dispute, and specifically state the remedy being sought. Any demand for arbitration must be served no later than the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such a claim.

Except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, the parties’ agreement to arbitrate claims is entered into pursuant to and is enforceable pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.

You and Wingz agree and acknowledge that any claims brought by you or Wingz shall only be in an individual capacity and that neither you nor Wingz can bring claims as a class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding, including actions brought pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, 29 U.S.C. § 216, or analogous state class action procedures. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions should be construed to require the arbitration of a claim (or the arbitration of a claim in a particular capacity) that cannot be compelled to arbitration (or cannot be subject to a class or collective action waiver within the arbitration setting) pursuant to applicable federal law. These Terms and Conditions also do not preclude you from filing an administrative charge or complaint with, or communicating in any way with, any federal, state, or local agency or official. To the extent that the Parties’ dispute involves both timely filed claims subject to arbitration under these Terms and Conditions and claims that are excluded from arbitration as set forth herein, the Parties agree to bifurcate and stay for the duration of the arbitration proceedings any such excluded claims.

Each party to the arbitration shall bear its own respective attorneys’ fees and all other costs, unless otherwise provided by law or under the terms of the relevant AAA rules and awarded by the arbitrator.

13. Severability. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. No Assignment. These Terms and Conditions and your rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions may not be assigned, delegated, or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by you without Wingz’s express prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Wingz may assign these Terms and Conditions or any of its rights under these Terms and Conditions to any third party with or without your consent.
