Welcome to PiggyBack, a web-based rideshare platform owned and operated by PiggyBack Network Inc. (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Standard Terms and Conditions (the “Standard Terms”) and all other terms of use, terms and conditions, policies, guidelines, or documents incorporated by reference herein, including, without limitation, our Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Terms of Use”), constitute a legally binding agreement between Company and each registered or unregistered user (“Users”, “you” or “your”) of the PiggyBack Website, https://www.piggybacknetwork.com (the “Site”), and/or the PiggyBack mobile application (the “App”, and collectively with the Site and all services provided therein, the “Platform”). By accessing and using the Platform and/or creating a User profile account on the Platform (an “Account”), you are deemed to have read, accepted, executed and be bound by the Terms of Use.
Company may change or amend the Terms of Use at any time at its sole and absolute discretion. We encourage you to fully review the Terms of Use carefully and to check the Terms of Use periodically for any updates or changes. If Company makes a material change or amendment to the Terms of Use it will provide a notification of such changes or amendments on the Platform, which changes or amendments will be effective automatically upon the posting of such notification. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Notwithstanding the terms of this paragraph, no revisions to the Terms of Use will apply to any dispute between you and Company that arose prior to the effective date of such revision.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PLATFORM IS MERELY A TECHNOLOGY SERVICE; THAT COMPANY DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, AND THAT YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN TRANSPORTATION SERVICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM DOES NOT ESTABLISH COMPANY AS A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER OR AS A PROVIDER OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.
IF ANY PROVISION OF THE TERMS OF USE OR ANY FUTURE CHANGES ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, DO NOT USE OR CONTINUE TO USE THE PLATFORM AND DO NOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE PLATFORM FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF ANY NOTICE OF ANY CHANGE TO THE TERMS OF USE SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE AND AGREEMENT TO SUCH CHANGE.
  • DESCRIPTION OF PLATFORM
The Platform enables registered Users to arrange and schedule rides for their children who are at the time of such ride at least five (5) years of age and no older than eighteen (18) years of age (“Passengers”) with Company-approved drivers who are at least twenty-five (25) years of age (“Drivers”). To use the Platform, you must set up your User Account at the Site. To create an Account, you must enter a valid credit card account and set up a Passenger (and, if applicable, Driver) profile. The User profile requires you to provide certain personally identifiable information and will contain other information about you and others who use the Platform via your Account (“Registration Data”). You also must maintain the security of your Account and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your Account without your permission. I f you permit others to use your Account credentials, you are responsible for the activities of such users that occur in connection with your Account. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose your personal information.
Drivers are not employees of Company, but rather provide the transportation services (the “PiggyBack Services”) directly to you. Although Company conducts certain screening of Drivers as described within PiggyBack’s Background Check Process (the “Driver Screening”), any agreement regarding the PiggyBack Services is strictly between you and the Driver, and Company is not responsible or liable for the PiggyBack Services or for the conduct, acts or omissions of any Driver. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Company in a separate, signed written agreement with you, the Platform is made available solely for your personal, noncommercial use, and you are authorized to access and use the Platform (including the Platform IP, defined below) solely for your personal use in connection with obtaining PiggyBack Services. Company and/or Drivers reserve the right to refuse services to any passenger or passenger’s legal guardian, at their sole discretion for any cause.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will facilitate the credit/payment between you and the Driver who provides the PiggyBack Services in accordance with the Terms of Use.
  • ELIGIBILITY; AUTHORIZATION
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an Account. If you are under 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority where you live), you may only access or use the Platform under the account and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who has agreed to be bound by the Terms of Use. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of eighteen (18) (or the age of legal majority under the applicable law of the state or jurisdiction of your primary residence) who will be using the Platform or the PiggyBack Services, you agree to be fully responsible for the acts or omissions of such Passenger in connection therewith and for the acts of anyone you authorize to arrange for PiggyBack Services through the Platform or of any Passenger for whom you book any PiggyBack Services. If you are accessing or using the Platform on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept the Terms of Use on that person or entity’s behalf and that the person or entity agrees to be bound by the Terms of Use and responsible to us if you or the other person or entity violates the Terms of Use. You represent and warrant to Company that you will only book PiggyBack Services for Passengers for whom you have been specifically authorized to do so by the parent or legal guardian of the Passenger and who have agreed to the Terms of Use.

YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PLATFORM.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, COMPANY DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, AND COMPANY IS NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. IT IS UP TO THE DRIVER TO OFFER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, WHICH MAY BE REQUESTED BY A USER THROUGH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM. ANY DECISION BY A USER OR PASSENGER TO ACCEPT TRANSPORTATION FROM A DRIVER IS A DECISION MADE IN SUCH USER’S OR PASSENGER’S SOLE DISCRETION.

AS A RESULT, COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING, THE ACCURACY OR EFFICACY OF THE DRIVER SCREENING PROCESS OR THE SUITABILITY, SAFETY, ABILITY, RELIABILITY, OR ACCURACY OF ANY DRIVER, THE PIGGYBACK SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY DRIVER, OR THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLES IN WHICH ANY PIGGYBACK SERVICES ARE PERFORMED.
IT IS SOLELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE IF A DRIVER WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS.
COMPANY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND A DRIVER. BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO SITUATIONS INVOLVING A DRIVER THAT ARE POTENTIALLY UNSAFE, OFFENSIVE, HARMFUL TO MINORS, OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE, AND THAT USE OF DRIVER ARRANGED OR SCHEDULED USING THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND JUDGMENT. COMPANY WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR TRANSACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIP WITH DRIVER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FAILURE OR ERROR WITH RESPECT TO ANY DRIVER SCREENINGS.
  • FEEDBACK
While our own staff is continually working to develop and evaluate our own product ideas and features, we pride ourselves on paying close attention to the interests, feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from the User community. If you choose to contribute by sending us or our employees any ideas for products, services, features, modifications, enhancements, content, refinements, technologies, promotions, strategies, or product/feature names, or any related documentation, artwork, computer code, diagrams, or other materials (collectively, “Feedback”), then regardless of what your accompanying communication may say, the following terms will apply, so that future misunderstandings can be avoided. Accordingly, by sending us Feedback, you agree that: (i) Company has no obligation to review, consider, or implement your Feedback, or to return to you all or part of any Feedback for any reason; (ii) Feedback is provided on a non-confidential basis, and Company is not under any obligation to keep any Feedback you send confidential or to refrain from using or disclosing it in any way; and (iii) you irrevocably grant Company a perpetual and unlimited permission to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, modify, publicly perform (including on a through-to-the-audience basis), communicate to the public, make available, publicly display, and otherwise use and exploit the Feedback and derivatives thereof for any purpose and without restriction, free of charge and without attribution of any kind, including by making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing, and promoting commercial products and services that incorporate or embody Feedback, whether in whole or in part, and whether as provided or as modified.
  • PLATFORM ACCESS REQUIREMENTS; UPDATES AND MAINTENANCE
Access to and use of the Platform requires a compatible mobile device/web browser and internet connection. It also requires that we have access to your device identifier and location information. Although we are working to ensure that the Platform is compatible across various devices, we cannot guarantee that the Platform will work with all devices.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your computer or mobile device complies with the requirements for accessibility. Your use of the Platform may vary in functionality, availability and quality depending on the type of the device and the operating system that you use and Company accepts no responsibility for any lack of functionality that is due to your equipment (including your device, internet connection, operating system or settings and software).
It is your responsibility to pay for all costs and expenses that you may incur while using the Platform (including, but not limited to, all telephone call or line charges or Internet data service access charges).
Your access to the Platform may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of Company’s control including, but not limited to, telecommunications and/or wireless network service disruptions, computer or mobile device viruses and bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, and server, equipment or software defects.

  • DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Company and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or Company seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Company seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Company waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to the Terms of Use resolved in court. Instead, all claims or disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Cook County, Illinois in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Company agree that any dispute arising out of or related to the Terms of Use is personal to you and Company and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Company agree that the Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, the Terms of Use and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by the Terms of Use. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and Company agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Company will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, Company will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Company agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Illinois and the United States sitting in Cook County, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TERMS OF USE OR THE PLATFORM MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND COMPANY WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the Terms of Use by emailing Company at concierge@piggybacknetwork.com. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section.
  • GOVERNING LAW
The Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to principles of conflicts of laws, and any action arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois and you hereby consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such action.
You agree that regardless of any applicable statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Platform or the Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever and fully barred.

  • WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Failure by Company to enforce any provision(s) of the Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. If any provision of the Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by a court of law exercising proper jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remaining provisions and shall not affect their validity and enforceability. The Terms of Use incorporate by reference any notices contained on the Platform and constitute the entire agreement with respect to access to and use of the Platform.
