However, Smartzi recognises that, in exceptional circumstances, Drivers may need to cancel a Booking. If a Booking has been made, you may indicate to Smartzi that you wish to cancel such Booking using the Smartzi Driver Platform at any time prior to the scheduled pick up time for that Booking .

You must account to Smartzi for the Smartzi Fee and VAT where applicable due for that Booking within two weeks of the Booking taking place by way of bank transfer to such bank account as Smartzi may notify you from time to time.

    5. Gratuities. Smartzi shall not collect any gratuities or tips on behalf of any Driver and the Smartzi Client and Driver Platforms do not permit gratuities or tips to be collected on behalf of Drivers. You hereby confirm and undertake to Smartzi that you will, if asked or prompted by any User, confirm that gratuities are entirely optional and at that User’s discretion and that Smartzi does not collect any gratuities on your behalf.


    6. Fees due to Smartzi. Smartzi’s commission fee is payable for every Booking which you elect to accept through the Smartzi Driver Platform (the “Smartzi Fee”).

  15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    1. You are asked to read this clause carefully.


    2. This clause 15 sets out the entire financial liability of Smartzi (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its employees, agents and sub-contractors) to you:

      1. Arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions;

      2. In respect of any use by you of the Services or the Smartzi Driver Platform or any part of them; and

      3. In respect of any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions.


    3. The Services and the Smartzi Driver Platform are provided to you on an “as is” basis and all warranties, representations, conditions and all other terms of any kind whatsoever implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, excluded from these Terms and Conditions. In particular, Smartzi does not provide any warranty, representation or guarantee that:

      1. The Smartzi Driver Platform will be provided error free and without interruptions; or

      2. Where applicable, any User engaged through the Smartzi Driver Platform and the Smartzi Client Platform will pay (whether promptly or otherwise) any charges due to you.


    4. Subject to clause 15.6:

      1. Smartzi shall not be liable whether in tort (including for negligence or breach of statutory duty), contract, misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise for any loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses or loss or corruption of data or information, or pure economic loss, or for any special, indirect or consequential loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses however arising under these Terms and Conditions; and

      2. Smartzi’s total aggregate liability for any claim (whether in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise) arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of these Terms and Conditions shall be limited to the greater of:

        1. £1,000; and

        2. the total aggregate amount of Smartzi Fees payable by the Driver to Smartzi in the 12 month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the relevant claim for liability.

      1. For death or personal injury caused by Smartzi’s negligence;

      2. For fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or

      3. In respect of any liability where it would be unlawful to limit or exclude such liability.


  16. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS


    1. Smartzi may transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions to another organisation without your consent. Smartzi will always notify you through the Smartzi Driver Platform if this happens.


    2. You need Smartzi’s consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if Smartzi agrees to this in writing.


    3. Nobody else has any rights under these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions are between you and Smartzi and no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of their terms. Neither you nor Smartzi will need to get the agreement of any third party in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.


    4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these Terms and Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.


    5. Even if Smartzi delays in enforcing these Terms and Conditions, Smartzi can still enforce the Terms and Conditions later. If Smartzi does not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms and Conditions, or if Smartzi delays in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms

      and Conditions, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent Smartzi taking steps against you at a later date.


    6. These Terms and Conditions are governed by English law, and Smartzi and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions in the English courts.


    7. Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to their subject matter. Each party agrees that it shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms and Conditions. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in these Terms and Conditions.
