MiDriVa
Terms and Conditions of Use (for Drivers)
By clicking the “I Agree” button below, downloading and/or using the Application (hereinafter referred to as “MiDriVa”), Driver is agreeing to be bound by the Terms and Conditions outlined in this Agreement.
CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP
Please read these Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using MiDriVa. This is a legally binding contract between MIDRIVA Limited, a company registered under the laws of Belize, with registered office at Branch Mouth Road, Cayo District, Belize, C.A. and the individual accessing MiDriVa as a third party intending to provide services to Customers of MiDriVa (hereinafter referred to as the “Driver”). By assenting electronically, installing or using MiDriVa, Driver accepts all the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of yourself and any entity or individual Driver represents or for whose Device Driver acquires the Application (collectively “Drivers”).
Supplemental terms may apply to certain services, and such supplemental terms may be disclosed to Driver in separate disclosures or in connection with the applicable service(s). Supplemental terms are considered additional to, and shall be deemed a part of, these Terms for the purposes of the applicable service(s). MiDriVa reserves full rights to amend its Terms periodically and as needed. From the time of MiDriVa’s posting of any updated Terms, they are immediately effective. Continued use and access to MiDriVa after posting amended Terms confirms Driver’s consent to be bound by those Terms.
Driver has the right to indicate rejection of amended Terms by providing written notice of such rejection within 15 days of the effective date of the amendments. Written notice must be sent (a) by mail to MIDRIVA Limited, Branch Mouth Road, San Ignacio, Cayo District, Belize, Central America or (b) by email from the same email address in which Driver’s MiDriVa account is registered to support@midriva.com. Notice must include Driver’s full name and clearly state Driver’s rejection of the amended Terms. Driver’s rejection of amended Terms still acts as confirmation of the continued compliance with the Terms originally agreed to by the Driver.
2. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
Driver agrees to submit to arbitration as the choice mechanism for dispute resolution as it relates to MiDriVa’s services. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) Driver’s access to or use of the services at any time whether before or after the date Driver agreed to the Terms will be settled by binding arbitration, and not in a court of law.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
By agreeing to the Terms, Driver agrees that Driver is required to resolve any claim that Driver may have against MiDriVa on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude Driver from bringing any class, collective or representative action against MiDriVa, and also preclude Driver from participating in or recovering relief under any
current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against MiDriVa
by someone else.
Driver acknowledges and agrees that he/she and MiDriVa are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both Driver and MiDriVa otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. However, Driver and MiDriVa each retain the right to bring an individual action in the Resident Magistrate’s Court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable remedy in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyright, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Rules and Governing Law
This arbitration will be administered by the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in accordance and conjunction with any arbitration statute or rules then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there are any conflicts or ambiguities, the laws of Belize will supersede the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay or estoppel.
Notwithstanding any choice of law of other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement forms a contractual relationship in its own right.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written demand for Arbitration. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in Belize and selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, the demanding party may submit to the court of Belize for a court-appointed arbitrator.
Unless otherwise agreed by Driver and MiDriVa, the arbitration will be conducted in Belize.
The Arbitrator will render an award, which may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgement shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect.
Notwithstanding these provisions and those of the Terms of the Application, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, MiDriVa reserves the right to change this Arbitration Agreement and if it does so after the date Driver first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), Driver may reject any such change by providing written notice of such rejection within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective in the ways outlined in Section 1 above.
