Use of the TNC Services

2.1.

TNVS Transportation Services. When the Driver App is active, User's requests for
Transportation Services may appear to a Driver via the Driver App if the Driver is available and
in the vicinity of the User. If a Driver accepts a Users request for Transportation Services, the
Driver App will provide certain User Information to such Driver, including the Users first name
and pickup location. In order to enhance User satisfaction with the Application and the TNVSs
and Driver(s) Transportation Services, it is recommended that the Driver wait at least ten (10)
minutes for a User to show up at the requested pick-up location. The Driver will obtain the
destination from the User, either in person upon pickup or from the Driver App if the User elects
to enter such destination via the Application. The TNVS acknowledges and agrees that once a
Driver has accepted a Users request for Transportation Services, the Application may provide
certain information about the Driver to the User, including the Drivers first name, contact
information, TNVS's entity name, and contact information photo and location, and the Drivers
Vehicles make and license plate number. TNVS shall not, and shall ensure that all Drivers do
not, contact any Users or use any User's personal data for any reason other than for the purposes
of fulfilling Transportation Services. As between USI and TNVS, TNVS acknowledges and
agrees that: (a) TNVS and its Drivers are solely responsible for determining the most effective,
efficient and safe manner to perform each instance of Transportation Services; and (b) except for
the TNC Services or any Devices (if applicable), TNVS shall provide all necessary equipment,
tools and other materials, at TNVSs own expense, necessary to perform Transportation Services.

2.2.

TNVSs Relationship with Users. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that TNVSs provision of
Transportation Services to Users creates a legal and direct business relationship between TNVS
and the User, to which USI is not a party. USI is not responsible or liable for the actions or
inactions of a User in relation to the activities of TNVS, a Driver or any Vehicle. TNVS shall
have the sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to Users or third parties that arise
from its provision of Transportation Services, unless USI failed to exercise due diligence and
reasonable care in accrediting TNVS and their Drivers and the liability was not caused by acts or
omissions outside of USI's control. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that it and each Driver are
solely responsible for taking such precautions as may be reasonable and proper (including
maintaining the passenger insurance policy issued by any LTFRB's accredited insurance
provider) regarding any acts or omissions of a User or third party. TNVS acknowledges and
agrees that USI may release the contact and/or insurance information of TNVS and/or a Driver to
a User upon such Users reasonable request. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that, unless
specifically consented to by a User, neither TNVS nor Driver may transport or allow inside any
Vehicle individuals other than a User and any individuals authorized by such User during the
performance of Transportation Services for such User. TNVS acknowledges and agrees, and shall
ensure that its Drivers agree, that all Users should be transported directly to their specified

UBER SYSTEMS, INC.

(FOR TNC ACCREDITATION APPLICATION)
As of 18 August 2015


destination, as directed by the applicable User, without unauthorized interruption or unauthorized
stops.
2.3.

TNVSs Relationship with USI. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that USIs provision to User of
the TNC Services creates a legal and direct business relationship between USI and User. USI
does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control TNVS or its Drivers generally or in their
performance under this TNVS Terms specifically, including in connection with the operation of
TNVSs business, the provision of Transportation Services, the acts or omissions of Drivers, or
the operation and maintenance of any Vehicles. TNVS and its Drivers retain the sole right to
determine when and for how long each of them will utilize the Driver App or the TNC Services.
TNVS acknowledges and agrees that it has complete discretion to operate its independent
business and direct its Drivers at its own discretion, including the ability to provide services at
any time to any third party separate and apart from Transportation Services. For the sake of
clarity, TNVS understands that it retains the complete right to provide transportation services to
its existing customers and to use the services of other TNCs. Access to or use of the TNC
Services by TNVS or any Driver may be cancelled or otherwise deactivated in the event of a
violation of this TNVS Terms, a violation of a Driver Addendum, the TNVSs or any Drivers
disparagement of USI or any of its Affiliates or related parties, TNVSs or any Drivers act or
omission that causes harm to USIs or its Affiliates and related parties' brand, reputation or
business as determined by USI in its sole discretion or for any other reasonable ground. USI also
retains the right to deactivate or otherwise restrict User or any Driver from accessing or using the
TNC Services for any other reason at the sole and reasonable discretion of USI.

2.4.

TNVSs Relationship with Drivers. TNVS shall have the sole responsibility for any obligations
or liabilities to Drivers that arise from its relationship with its Drivers (including provision of
Transportation Services). The TNVS acknowledges and agrees that it exercises sole control over
the Drivers and will comply with all Philippine laws (including tax, privacy, social security and
employment laws) governing or otherwise applicable to its relationship with its Drivers.
Notwithstanding TNVSs right, if applicable, to take recourse against a Driver, TNVS
acknowledges and agrees that it is at all times responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of
its Drivers vis--vis Users and USI, even where such liability may not be mandated under
Philippine law. TNVS shall require each Driver to enter into a Driver Addendum (as may be
updated from time to time) and shall provide a copy of each executed Driver Addendum to USI.
TNVS acknowledges and agrees that USI is a third party beneficiary to each Driver Addendum,
and that, upon a Drivers execution of the Driver Addendum (electronically or otherwise), USI
will have the irrevocable right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right unless it is rejected
promptly after receipt of a copy of the executed Driver Addendum) to enforce the Driver
Addendum against the Driver as a third party beneficiary thereof.

2.5.

Ratings.

2.5.1.

TNVS acknowledges and agrees that: (a) after receiving Transportation Services, a User will be
prompted by the Application to provide a rating of such Transportation Services and Driver and,
optionally, to provide comments or feedback about such Transportation Services and Driver; and
(b) after providing Transportation Services, the Driver will be prompted by the Driver App to
provide a rating of the User and, optionally, to provide comments or feedback about the User.
TNVS shall instruct all Drivers to provide ratings and feedback in good faith.

UBER SYSTEMS, INC.

(FOR TNC ACCREDITATION APPLICATION)
As of 18 August 2015


2.5.2.

TNVS acknowledges that USI desires that Users have access to high-quality services via the
Application. In order to continue to receive access to the Driver App and the TNC Services, each
Driver must maintain an average rating by Users that exceeds the minimum average acceptable
rating established by USI for the Philippines, as may be updated from time to time by USI in its
sole discretion (Minimum Average Rating). In the event a Drivers average rating falls below
the Minimum Average Rating, USI will notify TNVS and may provide the Driver in USIs
discretion, a limited period of time to raise his or her average rating above the Minimum Average
Rating. If such Driver does not increase his or her average rating above the Minimum Average
Rating within the time period allowed (if any), USI reserves the right to deactivate such Drivers
access to the TNC Services. Additionally, TNVS acknowledges and agrees that repeated failure
by a Driver to accept User requests for Transportation Services while such Driver is logged in to
the Driver App creates a negative experience for Users of the Application. Accordingly, TNVS
agrees and shall ensure that if a Driver does not wish to accept User requests for Transportation
Services for a period of time, such Driver will log off of the Driver App.

2.5.3.

USI and its Affiliates or other related parties reserve the right to use, share and display Driver and
User ratings and comments in any manner in connection with the business of USI and its
Affiliates or other related parties without attribution to or approval of TNVS or the applicable
Driver. TNVS acknowledges that USI and its Affiliates or other related parties are distributors
(without any obligation to verify) and not publishers of Driver and User ratings and comments,
provided that USI and its Affiliates or related parties reserve the right to edit or remove comments
in the event that such comments include obscenities or other objectionable content, include an
individuals name or other personal information, or violate any privacy laws, other applicable
laws or USIs or its Affiliates or related parties' content policies.

3.

Devices

3.1.

USI encourages TNVS to use Driver-Provided Devices for providing the Transportation Services.
Otherwise, USI will supply TNVS upon request with USI Devices to each authorized Driver and
provide the necessary wireless data plan for such Devices, provided that USI will require
reimbursement from TNVS for the costs associated with the wireless data plan of each Device
and/or request a deposit for each Device. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Devices may
only be used for the purpose of enabling Driver access to the TNC Services; and (b) Devices may
not be transferred, loaned, sold or otherwise provided in any manner to any party other than the
Driver assigned to use such Device. Devices shall at all times remain the property of USI, and
upon termination of this TNVS Terms or the termination or deactivation of a Driver, TNVS
agrees to return to USI the applicable Devices within ten (10) days. TNVS acknowledges and
agrees that failure to timely return any Devices, or damage to Devices outside of normal wear
and tear, will result in the forfeiture of related deposits.

3.2.

Location Based Services. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that each Drivers geo-location
information must be provided to USI via a Device in order to provide Transportation Services.
TNVS acknowledges and agrees, and shall inform and obtain the consent of each Driver, that: (a)
the Drivers geo-location information will be monitored and tracked by the TNC Services when
the Driver is logged into the Driver App and available to receive requests for Transportation
Services, or when the Driver is providing Transportation Services; and (b) the approximate
location of the Drivers Vehicle will be displayed to the User before and during the provision of
Transportation Services to such User. In addition, USI or its Affiliates or related parties may
monitor, track and share a Drivers geo-location information obtained by the Driver App and

driving record checks from time to time in order for such Driver to qualify to provide, and remain
eligible to provide, Transportation Services. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that USI or its
Affiliates or related parties reserves the right, at any time in its sole discretion, to deactivate or
otherwise restrict a Driver from accessing or using the TNC Services if TNVS or such Driver
fails to meet the requirements set forth in this TNVS Terms or the Driver Addendum.

4.2.

4.3.

Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, TNVS must provide USI with written copies of all such licenses,
permits, approvals, authority, registrations and certifications prior to TNVSs and the applicable
Drivers provision of any Transportation Services. Thereafter, TNVS must submit to USI written
evidence of all such licenses, permits, approvals, authority, registrations and certifications as they
are renewed. USI shall, upon request, be entitled to review such licenses, permits, approvals,
authority, registrations and certifications from time to time, and TNVSs failure to provide or
maintain any of the foregoing shall constitute a material breach of this TNVS Terms. USI
reserves the right to independently verify TNVS's and/or any Drivers Documentation from time
to time in any way USI deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.

5.

Financial Terms

5.1.

Fare Calculation. TNVS is entitled to charge a fare for each instance of completed

UBER SYSTEMS, INC.


FORM OF TERMS OF SERVICE FOR TNVS
(FOR TNC ACCREDITATION APPLICATION)
As of 18 August 2015


www.uber.com/cities for the Philippines (Fare Calculation). TNVS is also entitled to charge
User for any Tolls, taxes or fees incurred during the provision of Transportation Services, if
applicable. TNVS: (i) appoints USI, its Affiliates or related parties or a third-party outsourced or
appointed by USI (whether in the Philippines or otherwise), as TNVS's limited payment
collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Fare, applicable Tolls and, depending on
the region and/or if requested by TNVS, applicable taxes and fees from the User on behalf of
TNVS; and (ii) agrees that payment made by User to USI or its Affiliates or related parties shall
be considered the same as payment made directly by User to TNVS. In addition, the parties
acknowledge and agree that as between TNVS and USI, the Fare is a recommended amount, and
the primary purpose of the pre-arranged Fare is to act as the default amount in the event TNVS
does not negotiate a different amount. TNVS shall always have the right to: (i) charge a fare that
is less than the pre-arranged Fare; or (ii) negotiate, at TNVSs request, a Fare that is lower than
the pre-arranged Fare (each of (i) and (ii) herein, a Negotiated Fare). USI shall consider all
such requests from the TNVS in good faith.
5.2.

Changes to Fare Calculation. The Fare Calculation may, at any time, be changed based upon
local market factors at USI's sole discretion, and USI will provide notice to TNVS in the event of
such change that would result in a change in the recommended Fare. Continued use of the TNC
Services after any such change in the Fare Calculation shall constitute TNVSs consent to such
change.

5.3.

Fare Adjustment. USI reserves the right to: (i) adjust the Fare for a particular instance of
Transportation Services (e.g., Driver took an inefficient route, Driver failed to properly end a
particular instance of Transportation Services in the Driver App, technical error in the TNC
Services, etc.); or (ii) cancel the Fare for a particular instance of Transportation Services (e.g., a
User is charged for Transportation Services that were not provided, in the event of a User
complaint, fraud, etc.). USIs decision to reduce or cancel the Fare in any such manner shall be
exercised in a reasonable manner.

5.4.

Service Fee. In consideration of the TNC Services, TNVS agrees to pay USI or its Affiliates or
other related parties or licensors, a service fee on a per Transportation Services transaction basis
calculated as a percentage of the Fare (regardless of any Negotiated Fare), as provided to TNVS
via email or otherwise made available electronically from time to time for the Philippines
(Service Fee). Unless Philippine regulations require otherwise, taxes will be calculated and
charged on the Fare, and USI shall calculate the Service Fee based on the Fare inclusive of such
taxes. USI reserves the right to change the Service Fee at any time in USIs discretion based upon
local market factors, and USI will provide notice to TNVS in the event of such change. Continued
use of the TNC Services after any such change in the Service Fee calculation shall constitute the
TNVSs consent to such change.

5.5.

Cancellation Charges. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that Users may elect to cancel requests
for Transportation Services that have been accepted by a Driver via the Driver App at any time
prior to the Drivers arrival. In the event that a User cancels an accepted request for
Transportation Services, the User may be charged a cancellation fee on behalf of TNVS. If
charged, this cancellation fee shall be deemed the Fare for the cancelled Transportation Services
to be received by TNVS hereunder (Cancellation Fee). The parties acknowledge and agree that
as between TNVS and USI, this Cancellation Fee is a recommended amount, and the primary
purpose of such Cancellation Fee is to act as the default amount in the event TNVS does not
negotiate a different amount. TNVS shall always have the right to: (i) charge a cancellation fee

UBER SYSTEMS, INC.

(FOR TNC ACCREDITATION APPLICATION)

that is less than the Cancellation Fee; or (ii) negotiate, at TNVSs request, a cancellation fee that
is lower than the Cancellation Fee (each of (i) and (ii) herein, a Negotiated Cancellation Fee).
If charged, the Cancellation Fee (regardless of any Negotiated Cancellation Fee) shall be deemed
the Fare for the cancelled Transportation Services to be received by the TNVS hereunder.
5.6.

Receipts. The TNVS is provided a system for the delivery of receipts to Users for Transportation
Services rendered. Upon the completion of Transportation Services for a User by a Driver, an
applicable receipt is issued to the User via email on behalf of TNVS and applicable Driver. Such
receipts are also provided via email or the online portal available to the TNVS. Receipts include
the breakdown of amounts charged to the User for Transportation Services and may include
specific information about TNVS and applicable Driver, including TNVSs entity name and
contact information and the Drivers name and photo, as well as a map of the route taken by the
Driver. TNVS shall inform Drivers that any corrections to a Users receipt for Transportation
Services must be submitted to USI in writing within three (3) business days after the completion
of such Transportation Services. Absent such a notice, USI shall not be liable for any mistakes in
or corrections to the receipt or for recalculation or disbursement of the Fare. TNVS
acknowledges and agrees that the applicable receipt sent via email is not an official receipt
required under applicable law. In addition to the applicable receipt sent via email, TNVS shall
issue an official receipt to Users in accordance with applicable Philippine law.

5.7.

No Additional Amounts. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that, for the mutual benefit of the
parties, through advertising and marketing, USI and its Affiliates or related parties may seek to
attract new Users to USI and to increase existing Users use of the Application. TNVS
acknowledges and agrees such advertising or marketing does not entitle TNVS to any additional
monetary amounts beyond the amounts expressly set forth in this TNVS Terms.

5.8.

Taxes. TNVS acknowledges and agrees that it is required to: (a) complete all tax registration
obligations and calculate and remit all tax liabilities related to the provision of Transportation
Services as required by applicable law; and (b) issue official receipts to Users as required under
applicable Philippine law and (c) provide USI with all relevant tax information (including a valid
VAT number belonging to the TNVS and/or any Driver, if obtaining a VAT number is required
of the TNVS and/or any Driver by applicable law). TNVS further acknowledges and agrees that
TNVS and each of its Drivers are responsible for taxes on their own income arising from the
performance of Transportation Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this TNVS
Terms, USI may in its reasonable discretion based on applicable tax and regulatory
considerations, collect and remit taxes resulting from TNVSs and/or any Drivers provision of
Transportation Services and/or provide any of the relevant tax information TNVS and/or any
Driver has provided pursuant to the foregoing requirements in this Section 4.8 directly to the
applicable governmental tax authorities on TNVSs and/or the applicable Drivers behalf or
otherwise.

The relationship between the parties under this TNVS Terms is solely that of independent

agent or authorized representative of Uber or its Affiliates or other related parties. Where, by
implication of mandatory Philippine law or otherwise, TNVS or any Driver may be deemed an
employee, agent or representative of USI, TNVS undertakes and agrees to indemnify, defend (at

any claims by any person, entity, regulators or governmental authorities based on such implied
employment, agency or representative relationship.

13.3.

in whole or in part, under Philippines law, such provision or part thereof shall to that extent be
deemed not to form part of this TNVS Terms but the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remainder of this TNVS Terms shall not be affected. In that event, the parties shall replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable (part of the) provision with a (part of a) provision that is legal,
valid and enforceable and that has, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the illegal,

Terms.

obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party.

arising out of or broadly in connection with or relating to this TNVS Terms, including those

prior resort to arbitration or any judicial, administrative or other governmental action shall not be
required for purposes of exercising said right. The parties waive any right to insist on prior resort
to arbitration or such other action to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law. In the event

intended to survive the termination or expiration of the TNVS Terms, shall be deemed suspended.

costs, including attorney's fees, should the termination be found to be proper.

acknowledges that TNVS has read, understood, and taken steps to thoughtfully consider the consequences
of this TNVS Terms, that TNVS agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this TNVS Terms, and
