THE RIDEON PLATFORM

RideON Canada is a transportation network company (TNC) founded in the Region of Waterloo. The RideON Canada mobile app works like any other TNC app where a driving partner login as per their availability, a user requests a driving service, the partner accepts the ride request & picks up the user, the partner drops off the user, and are logged in again as available. The mobile app monitors and records all the details of the trip including pick-up time, location, duration of the trip, and drop-off time and location. The app also has the capability for the users to submit feedback on the services they consume. RideON Canada’s mobile application platform has two options for riders: 3 seat sedan and a 5-seat van/SUV. RideON Canada conducts ID checks with partners to verify that we have the right person providing services under the RideON Canada platform.

 

The RideON Platform provides a digital transportation network that allows registered users (“Riders/Customers”) to order and receive rides from registered independent contractors (“Partners/Drivers”). Each User shall create a User account that enables access to the RideON Platform. For purposes of this Agreement, the driving services provided by Partners to Users that are matched through the RideON Platform shall be referred to collectively as the “Driving Services”. Any decision by a User to accept Driving Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. Each Driving Service provided by a Partner to a User shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.

You acknowledge that neither RideON nor its affiliates provide transportation services or function as a transportation carrier or transportation service provider or own any vehicles for transportation and that all such transportation services are provided by independent third-party contractors who are not employed by RideON or any of its affiliates.

RideON Canada is not a conventional public transport or carrier. It’s the Driver decision to choose a ride from a Rider reached through the RideON Platform, similarly it’s the Rider decision to choose a ride from any Driver reached through the RideON Platform. We can’t guarantee that a Driver or Rider will complete an arranged transportation service. We try our best by enforcing strict policies over both parties to keep the service quality at its best, but the quality and safety of the transportation is not guaranteed.

When demand increases, RideON Canada will encourage more drivers to get on the road and respond to rider requests. When we notify riders of the fare increase, we notify drivers too. If you decide to go ahead and request your ride, you will get an alert on the app to make sure you know that the rates have changed. If you are a regular driver, you might already be aware of RideON Canada’s peak timings, where increased demand and prices go side by side. These may include Friday and Saturday nights, After-work rush hour, big events, and festivals.

These Pricing strategies will be implemented by RideON Canada, and we will have full authority to ensure these strategies are being executed within the law and ethical conduct.
