Additionally, Customer acknowledges and agrees that repeated failure by a Driver to accept User requests for Transportation and/or Logistics Services while such Driver is logged in to the Driver App creates a negative experience for Users of Whats Local Today’s mobile application. Accordingly, Customer 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.
              3. Whats Local Today and its Affiliates reserve the right to use, share and display Driver and User ratings and comments in any manner in connection with the business of Whats Local Today and its Affiliates without attribution to or approval of Customer or the applicable Driver. Customer acknowledges that Whats Local Today and its Affiliates are distributors (without any obligation to verify) and not publishers of Driver and User ratings and comments, provided that Whats Local Today and its Affiliates reserve the right to edit or remove comments in the event that such comments include obscenities or other objectionable content, include an individual’s name or other personal information, or violate any privacy laws, other applicable laws or Whats Local Today’s or its Affiliates’ content policies.
          7. Devices.
            1. Whats Local Today encourages Customer to use Driver-Provided Devices for providing the Transportation Services. Otherwise, Whats Local Today will supply Customer upon request with Whats Local Today Devices to each authorized Driver and provide the necessary wireless data plan for such Devices, provided that Whats Local Today will require reimbursement from Customer for the costs associated with the wireless data plan of each Whats Local Today Device and/or request a deposit for each Whats Local Today Device. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Whats Local Today Devices may only be used for the purpose of enabling Driver access to the Whats Local Today Services; and (b) Whats Local Today Devices may not be transferred, loaned, sold or otherwise provided in any manner to any party other than the Driver assigned to use such Whats Local Today Device. Whats Local Today Devices shall at all times remain the property of Whats Local Today, and upon termination of this Agreement or the termination or deactivation of a Driver, Customer agrees to return to Whats Local Today the applicable Whats Local Today Devices within ten (10) days. Customer acknowledges and agrees that failure to timely return any Whats Local Today Devices, or damage to Whats Local Today Devices outside of “normal wear and tear,” will result in the forfeiture of related deposits.
            2. If Customer elects to use any Driver-Provided Devices: (i) Customer and/or its Drivers are responsible for the acquisition, cost and maintenance of such Driver-Provided Devices as well as any necessary wireless data plan; and (ii) Whats Local Today shall make available the Driver App for installation on such Driver-Provided Devices. Whats Local Today hereby grants the authorized user of any Driver-Provided Device a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable user right to install and use the Driver App on a Driver-Provided Device solely for the purpose of providing Transportation and/or Logistics Services. Customer agrees to not, and shall cause each applicable Driver to not, provide, distribute or share, or enable the provision, distribution or sharing of, the Driver App (or any data associated therewith) with any third party. The foregoing right shall immediately terminate and Driver will delete and fully remove the Driver App from the Driver-Provided Device in the event that Customer and/or the applicable Driver ceases to provide Transportation and/or Logistics Services using the Driver-Provided Device. Customer agrees, and shall inform each applicable Driver that: (i) use of the Driver App on a Driver-Provided Device requires an active data plan with a wireless carrier associated with the Driver-Provided Device, which data plan will be provided by either Customer or the applicable Driver at their own expense; and (ii) use of the Driver App on a Driver-Provided Device as an interface with the Whats Local Today Services may consume very large amounts of data through the data plan. Whats Local Today advises that Driver-Provided Devices should only be used under a data plan with unlimited or very high data usage limits, and Whats Local Today shall not be responsible or liable for any fees, costs, or overage charges associated with any data plan.
          8. Location Based Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that each Driver’s geo-location information must be provided to the Whats Local Today Services via a Device in order to provide Transportation and/or Logistics Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees, and shall inform and obtain the consent of each Driver, that: (a) the Driver’s geo-location information will be monitored and tracked by the Whats Local Today Services when the Driver is logged into the Driver App and available to receive requests for Transportation and/ or Logistics Services, or when the Driver is providing Transportation and/ or Logistics Services; and (b) the approximate location of the Driver’s Vehicle will be displayed to the User before and during the provision of Transportation and/ or Logistics Services to such User. In addition, Whats Local Today may monitor, track and share a Driver’s geo-location information obtained by the Driver App and Device for safety, security, technical, marketing and commercial purposes, including to provide and improve Whats Local Today’s products and services.
        2. Drivers and Vehicles
                1.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that each Driver may be subject to certain background and driving record checks from time to time in order for such Driver to qualify to provide, and remain eligible to provide, Transportation and/or Logistics Services. In addition if Customer and/or Driver are using the Whats Local Today App to provide Transportation and/or Logistics Services in conjunction with operating a vehicle which enables passenger(s) to be ferried (“Transportation and/or Logistics Services”), such Customer and/or Driver shall comply with all applicable laws with respect thereto. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Whats Local Today reserves the right, at any time in Whats Local Today's sole discretion, to deactivate or otherwise restrict a Driver from accessing or using the Driver App or the Whats Local Today Services if Customer or such Driver fails to meet the requirements set forth in this Agreement or the Driver Addendum.
                2. Vehicle Requirements: Customer acknowledges and agrees that each Vehicle shall at all times be: (a) properly registered and licensed to operate as a passenger transportation vehicle and/or Vehicle to transport Item(s) purchased in the Territory; (b) owned or leased by Customer, or otherwise in Customer’s lawful possession; (c) suitable for performing the passenger transportation service and/or Vehicle to transport item(s) as contemplated by this Agreement; and (d) maintained in good operating condition, consistent with industry safety and maintenance standards for a Vehicle of its kind and any additional standards or requirements in the applicable Territory, and in a clean and sanitary condition.
                3.

Thereafter, Customer must submit to Whats Local Today written evidence of all such licenses, permits, approvals, authority, registrations and certifications as they are renewed. Whats Local Today shall, upon request, be entitled to review such licenses, permits, approvals, authority, registrations and certifications from time to time, and Customer’s failure to provide or maintain any of the foregoing shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Whats Local Today reserves the right to independently verify Customer's and/or any Driver’s documentation from time to time in any way Whats Local Today deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.
        3. Financial Terms
                  1. Fare Calculation and Customer Payment: Customer is entitled to charge a fare for each instance of completed Transportation Services provided to a User that are obtained via the Whats Local Today Services (“Fare”), where such Fare is calculated based upon a base fare amount plus distance (as determined by Whats Local Today using location-based services enabled through the Device) and/or time amounts, for the applicable Territory (“Fare Calculation”). Customer is also entitled to charge User for any Tolls, taxes or fees incurred during the provision of Transportation and/or Logistics Services, if applicable. Customer:
                  2. Appoints Whats Local Today as Customer’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 Customer, applicable taxes and fees from the User on behalf of the Customer via the payment processing functionality facilitated by the Whats Local Today Services; and
                  3. Agrees that payment made by User to Whats Local Today shall be considered the same as payment made directly by User to Customer. In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that as between Customer and Whats Local Today, 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 Customer does not negotiate a different amount. Customer shall always have the right to:
                  4. Charge a fare that is less than the pre-arranged Fare; or
                  5. Negotiate, at Customer’s request, a Fare that is lower than the pre-arranged Fare (each of (i) and (ii) herein, a “Negotiated Fare”). Whats Local Today shall consider all such requests from Customer in good faith. Whats Local Today agrees to remit to Customer on at least a weekly basis: (a) the Fare less the applicable Service Fee; (b) the Tolls; and (c) depending on the region, certain taxes and ancillary fees. If Customer has separately agreed, other amounts may be deducted from the Fare prior to remittance to Customer (e.g., App On-boarding Fee(s) etc.), the order of those deductions from the Fare to be determined exclusively by Whats Local Today. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, if Customer is providing two-wheeler taxi Services, the following shall apply: (x) the Fare is calculated pursuant to local taxi regulations in the Territory; and (y) in some jurisdictions, Users may pay such Customer or Driver directly rather than through Whats Local Today's mobile application (Whats Local Today will notify Customer if (y) is applicable in its Territory).
                  6. Changes to Fare Calculation: Whats Local Today reserves the right to change the Fare Calculation at any time in Whats Local Today’s discretion based upon local market factors, and Whats Local Today will provide notice to Customer in the event of such change that would result in a change in the recommended Fare. Continued use of the Whats Local Today Services after any such change in the Fare Calculation shall constitute Customer’s consent to such change.
                  7. Fare Adjustment. Whats Local Today reserves the right to:
                  8. 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 Whats Local Today Services, etc.); or
                  9. 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.). Whats Local Today’s decision to reduce or cancel the Fare in any such manner shall be exercised in a reasonable manner.
                  10. Service Fee: In consideration of Whats Local Today’s provision of the Whats Local Today Services, the Customer may pay Whats Local Today a service fee on a per Transportation and/or Logistics Services transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Fare (regardless of any Negotiated Fare), as provided to Customer via email or otherwise made available electronically by Whats Local Today from time to time for the applicable Territory (“Service Fee”). Unless regulations applicable to Customer’s Territory require otherwise, taxes will be calculated and charged on the Fare, and Whats Local Today shall calculate the Service Fee based on the Fare inclusive of such taxes. Whats Local Today reserves the right to change the Service Fee at any time in Whats Local Today’s discretion based upon local market factors, and Whats Local Today will provide notice to Customer in the event of such change. Continued use of the Whats Local Today Services after any such change in the Service Fee calculation shall constitute Customer’s consent to such change. In addition, with respect to Taxi Services in the applicable Territory, Customer agrees to pay Whats Local Today a booking fee in consideration of Whats Local Today’s provision of the Driver App and the Whats Local Today Services.
                  11. Cancellation Charges: Customer acknowledges and agrees that Users may elect to cancel requests for Transportation and/or Logistics Services that have been accepted by a Driver via the Driver App at any time prior to the Driver’s arrival. In the event that a User cancels an accepted request for Transportation and/or Logistic Services, Whats Local Today may charge the User a cancellation fee on behalf of the Customer. If charged, this cancellation fee shall be deemed the Fare for the cancelled Transportation and/or Logistics Services for the purpose of remittance to Customer hereunder (“Cancellation Fee”). The parties acknowledge that and agree that as between Customer and Company, 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 Customer does not negotiate a different amount. Customer shall always have the right to:
  1. Charge a cancellation fee that is less than the Cancellation Fee; or
  2. Negotiate, at Customer’s 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 and/or Logistics Services for the purpose of remittance to the Customer hereunder.
                  1. Receipts: As part of the Whats Local Today Services, Whats Local Today provides Customer a system for the delivery of receipts to Users for Transportation and/or Logistics Services rendered on the Whats Local Today Platform. Upon the completion of Transportation and/or Logistics Services for a User by a Driver, Whats Local Today prepares an applicable receipt and issues such receipt to the User via email on behalf of the Customer and applicable Driver. Such receipts are also provided via email or the online portal available to the Customer on the Whats Local Today Services. Receipts include the breakdown of amounts charged to the User for Transportation and/or Logistics Services and may include specific information about the Customer and applicable Driver, including the Customer’s entity name and contact information, as well as a map of the route taken by the Driver. Customer shall inform Drivers that any corrections to a User’s receipt for Transportation and/or Logistics Services must be submitted to Whats Local Today in writing within three (3) business days after the completion of such Transportation and/or Logistics Services. Absent such a notice, Whats Local Today shall not be liable for any mistakes in or corrections to the receipt or for recalculation or disbursement of the Fare.
                  2. Platform Advertisement; Marketing: Customer acknowledges and agrees that, for the mutual benefit of the parties, through advertising and marketing, Whats Local Today and/or its Affiliates may seek to attract new Users to Whats Local Today and to increase existing Users’ use of Whats Local Today’s mobile application.

        1. 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
        2. Provide Whats Local Today with all relevant tax information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Whats Local Today may in its reasonable discretion based on applicable tax and regulatory considerations, collect and remit taxes resulting from Customer’s and/or any Driver’s provision of Transportation and/or Logistics Services and/or provide any of the relevant tax information Customer and/or any Driver has provided pursuant to the foregoing requirements in this Section 4.8 directly to the applicable governmental tax authorities on Customer’s and/or the applicable Driver’s behalf or otherwise.
