THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT
The Services may be made available or accessed in connection with third party services and content (including advertising) that Wave Mobile Technologies does not control. You acknowledge that different terms of use and privacy policies may apply to your use of such third party services and content. Wave Mobile Technologies does not endorse such third party services and content and in no event shall Wave Mobile Technologies be responsible or liable for any products or services of such third party providers.

These third party beneficiaries are not parties to this contract and are not responsible for the provision or support of the Services in any manner. Your access to the Services using these devices is subject to terms set forth in the applicable third party beneficiary's terms of service.
OWNERSHIP
The Services and all rights therein are and shall remain Wave Mobile Technologies's property or the property of Wave Mobile Technologies's licensors. Neither these Terms nor your use of the Services convey or grant to you any rights: (i) in or related to the Services except for the limited license granted above; or (ii) to use or reference in any manner Wave Mobile Technologies's company names, logos, product and service names, trademarks or services marks or those of Wave Mobile Technologies's licensors.
3. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES
USER ACCOUNTS
In order to use most aspects of the Services, you must register for and maintain an active personal user Services account ("Account"). Wave Mobile Technologies requires all Users under the age of 18 to obtain parent, or guardian, authorization to create an Account and to use Wave Mobile Technologies Services. Account registration requires you to submit to Wave Mobile Technologies certain personal information, such as your name, address, mobile phone number and age, as well as at least one valid payment method (either a credit card or accepted payment partner). You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to access and use the Services or Wave Mobile Technologies's termination of this Agreement with you. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, and you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times. Unless otherwise permitted by Wave Mobile Technologies in writing, you may only possess one Account.
USER REQUIREMENTS AND CONDUCT
You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when using the Services, and you may only use the Services for lawful purposes (e.g., no transport of unlawful or hazardous materials). You will not in your use of the Services cause nuisance, annoyance, inconvenience, or property damage, whether to the Third Party Provider or any other party. In certain instances you may be asked to provide proof of identity to access or use the Services, and you agree that you may be denied access to or use of the Services if you refuse to provide proof of identity.
In addition to the actions stated in the prior section, with respect to your use of your Account and your participation in the Wave Mobile Technologies Services, you agree that you will not (the list of activities is not exclusive):
- Stalk, threaten, or otherwise harass any person;
- Possess or carry any weapons, including but not limited to firearms, knives (except standard pocket knives), tasers, pepper spray, or any other item designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or intimidation, while using the Wave Platform. This prohibition applies to all weapons regardless of whether you possess a valid concealed carry permit or other legal authorization. The presence of weapons during rides creates potential safety risks for all users and violates Wave's commitment to providing a safe environment;
- Violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation;
- Interfere with or disrupt the Services or the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform or the servers or networks connected to Wave Mobile Technologies services;
- Forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any information transmitted through Wave Mobile Technologies;
- "Frame" or "mirror" any part of Wave Mobile Technologies, without our prior written authorization or use meta tags or code or other devices containing any reference to us in order to direct any person to any other web site for any purpose;
- Rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, license or sublicense the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform or access to any portion of the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform;
- Create liability for us or cause us to become subject to regulation as a transportation carrier or provider of taxi service; or
- Cause any third party to engage in the restricted activities above.
We reserve the right, but we have no obligation, to suspend or deactivate your Account if you do not comply with these prohibitions.
PROMOTIONAL CODES
Wave Mobile Technologies may, in Wave Mobile Technologies's sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for Account credit, or other features or benefits related to the Services and/or a Third Party Provider's services, subject to any additional terms that Wave Mobile Technologies establishes on a per promotional code basis ("Promo Codes"). You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public form or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by Wave Mobile Technologies; (iii) may be disabled by Wave Mobile Technologies at any time for any reason without liability to Wave Mobile Technologies; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that Wave Mobile Technologies establishes for such Promo Code; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use. Wave Mobile Technologies reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Promo Codes by you or any other user in the event that Wave Mobile Technologies determines or believes that the use or redemption of the Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or these Terms.
USER PROVIDED CONTENT
Wave Mobile Technologies may, in Wave Mobile Technologies's sole discretion, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to Wave Mobile Technologies through the Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions ("User Content"). Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to Wave Mobile Technologies, you grant Wave Mobile Technologies a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and Wave Mobile Technologies's business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Wave Mobile Technologies the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Wave Mobile Technologies's use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by Wave Mobile Technologies in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. Wave Mobile Technologies may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Wave Mobile Technologies's sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.
4. PAYMENT
You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider ("Charges"). After you have received services or goods obtained through your use of the Service, Wave Mobile Technologies will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider, as such Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Wave Mobile Technologies.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Wave Mobile Technologies using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which Wave Mobile Technologies will send you a receipt by text, email, or in the user account. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Wave Mobile Technologies may, as the Third Party Provider's limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.
As between you and Wave Mobile Technologies, Wave Mobile Technologies reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in Wave Mobile Technologies's sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Wave Mobile Technologies may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. You may elect to cancel your request for services or goods from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to such Third Party Provider's arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services or goods provided. Wave Mobile Technologies does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Third Party Provider. Any representation by Wave Mobile Technologies (on Wave Mobile Technologies's website, in the Application, or in Wave Mobile Technologies's marketing materials) to the effect that tipping is "voluntary," "not required," and/or "included" in the payments you make for services or goods provided is not intended to suggest that Wave Mobile Technologies provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the Third Party Provider. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third Party Provider who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through the Service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third Party Provider.
TECHNOLOGY FEE
Wave Mobile Technologies shall assess a per-ride "Tech Fee" to all transactions for use of Services, as stated in receipts. Tech Fee collections are used in offsetting Wave Mobile Technologies's expenses, including but not limited to promoting safety, business research, expansion into other markets and geographic locations, in addition to other operational costs.

IN ADDITION, Wave Mobile Technologies MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE REGARDING THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR GOODS REQUESTED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. Wave Mobile Technologies DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY, SAFETY OR ABILITY OF THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS. YOU AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND ANY SERVICE OR GOOD REQUESTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Wave Mobile Technologies SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RELATED TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF Wave Mobile Technologies HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Wave Mobile Technologies SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LIABILITY OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF: (i) YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; OR (ii) ANY TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, EVEN IF Wave Mobile Technologies HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Wave Mobile Technologies SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND Wave Mobile Technologies'S REASONABLE CONTROL. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIRD PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES REQUESTED THROUGH SOME REQUEST BRANDS MAY OFFER RIDESHARING OR PEER-TO-PEER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND MAY NOT BE PROFESSIONALLY LICENSED OR PERMITTED. IN NO EVENT SHALL Wave Mobile Technologies'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $500).
Wave Mobile Technologies'S SERVICES MAY BE USED BY YOU TO REQUEST AND SCHEDULE TRANSPORTATION, GOODS, OR LOGISTICS SERVICES WITH THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, BUT YOU AGREE THAT Wave Mobile Technologies HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO YOU RELATED TO ANY TRANSPORTATION, GOODS OR LOGISTICS SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS.
THE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER IN THIS SECTION 5 DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify and hold Wave Mobile Technologies and its officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees), arising out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Services or services or goods obtained through your use of the Services; (ii) your breach or violation of any of these Terms; (iii) Wave Mobile Technologies's use of your User Content; or (iv) your violation of the rights of any third party, including Third Party Providers.
RELEASE

Furthermore, you expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 (or analogous laws of other states), which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his ride at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users.
6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
ARBITRATION
You and We agree that any legal disputes or claims arising out of or related to the Agreement (including but not limited to the use of Wave Mobile Technologies and/or the Services, or the interpretation, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Agreement, or the arbitrability of any dispute), that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the state in which the Agreement was performed. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or as otherwise mutually agreed by you and we. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be brought within the time required by applicable law. You and we agree that any claim, action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Agreement must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, collective, or class proceeding.

8. PRIVACY POLICY
Wave Mobile Technologies is dedicated to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we use it. This privacy policy applies to transactions and activities and data gathered through the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform. Please review this privacy policy periodically as Wave Mobile Technologies may revise it without notice. This privacy policy was last revised on November 8, 2015. Each time you use your Account, use the Wave Mobile Technologies Services, or provide Wave Mobile Technologies with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.
DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU
In order to operate Wave Mobile Technologies and to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest to you, Wave Mobile Technologies may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly (without using the Wave Mobile Technologies services) such as full name, postal address, phone number, credit/debit card information, or email address) or "demographic information" (i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is not personal information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, browsing history information, searching history information, and registration history information). Wave Mobile Technologies will also collect the contact information of your friends, if you choose to connect your contacts and address book information with Wave Mobile Technologies and your login credentials to your social network accounts, such as Facebook and Twitter, if you choose to connect those accounts with your Wave Mobile Technologies account. You represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide Wave Mobile Technologies with any such contact information. Demographic information is divided into two categories:
- "non-public information", which consists of ride transaction information and one-on-one communications between you and other Users of Wave Mobile Technologies; and
- "public information", which consists of all other demographic information.
Please note that nowhere on the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform does Wave Mobile Technologies knowingly collect, keep or maintain personal information from children under the age of 18, as Wave Mobile Technologies require that all users represent to us that they are at least 18 years old.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your email address and your other personal information to help us efficiently operate Wave Mobile Technologies, to contact you in connection with your transactions and other activities provided by Wave Mobile Technologies (including, but not limited to, confirmation emails, or important news that could affect your relationship with Wave Mobile Technologies), to forward trip information to you from other Users, to forward trip information from you to other Users, and to contact you and others to suggest potential matches. We use your contact information to find and connect with your friends (when instructed by you). These types of communications are known as "Operational Communications." In some cases, Operational Communications may also contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and special offers.
To operate Wave Mobile Technologies, including processing your transactions and supporting your activities on the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform, we may share your personal information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide us with support services such as email origination, receipt or support services, customer relationship management services, and order fulfillment. We require these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for, products or services offered or sponsored by third parties of Wave Mobile Technologies, or electing to receive communications (such as emails or material by mail) or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes or other programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered or sponsored by third parties on Wave Mobile Technologies, you consent to our providing your personal information to those third parties. Those third parties may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact those third parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose all such information so submitted to such third parties in the same manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other information you submit to us.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal information is authorized to use your personal information in accordance with Our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact you will need to be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them.
HOW WE USE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
We may review all demographic Data. We may use public information to enable other users to search your profile, to determine whether your trip details fit other user's requirements, and to communicate with you. We may use demographic information to tailor Wave Mobile Technologies and communications to your interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers your identity). One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the likelihood that our advertisers' goods and services will appeal to you as a user of Wave Mobile Technologies. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular Wave Mobile Technologies Users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify you as being a member of that demographic group.
HOW TO EDIT YOUR INFORMATION
Wave Mobile Technologies provides you with the ability to access and edit your personal information. To update your personal info, click Settings in the Wave Mobile Technologies menu. There you can view, update and correct your account information.
So that we can protect the integrity of sensitive data, there are certain pieces of information, such as your age, that you cannot alter yourself.
Our databases automatically update any personal information you edit in your profile, or that you request we edit. Information transmitted through boards, chats, polls or through any other means remains in our databases and become the property of Wave Mobile Technologies upon submission. Keep this in mind if you decide to communicate personal information through any of these applications.
INFORMATION RETENTION
To preserve the integrity of our databases, standard procedure calls for Wave Mobile Technologies to retain information submitted by members for an indefinite length of time. Wave Mobile Technologies understands your submissions as consent to store all your information in one place for this indefinite length of time, if we so wish. If required by law, as is the case to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Wave Mobile Technologies will nullify member information by erasing it from our database. Wave Mobile Technologies will also respond to written member requests to nullify account information. Also, by using Wave Mobile Technologies, you do hereby represent and warrant that you understand and agree that all information submitted by you through Wave Mobile Technologies or otherwise to Wave Mobile Technologies becomes the property of Wave Mobile Technologies and may be used in the sole discretion of Wave Mobile Technologies in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
CHOICE/OPT-OUT
Wave Mobile Technologies provides Users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from Wave Mobile Technologies and our partners at the point where we request information about the visitor. Wave Mobile Technologies gives users the option to remove their information from our database, to not receive future communications or to no longer receive our service.
SPECIAL CASES IN WHICH WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your personal information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy. Wave Mobile Technologies may also disclose personal information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of Wave Mobile Technologies or other visitors to Wave Mobile Technologies. Wave Mobile Technologies also may disclose your personal information to our subsidiary and parent companies and businesses, and other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom Wave Mobile Technologies is under common corporate control. Whenever personal information is disclosed under this paragraph, we may also disclose your demographic information along with it, on a non-anonymous basis. All of our parent, subsidiary and affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive your personal information or non-anonymous demographic information from Wave Mobile Technologies will comply with the terms of this privacy policy with respect to their use and disclosure of such information.
HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION
We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
Wave Mobile Technologies may contain links to other web sites. Wave Mobile Technologies is not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. Wave Mobile Technologies encourages Users to be aware when they leave the Wave Mobile Technologies Account to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform.
CHANGING OUR PRIVACY POLICY FOR PREVIOUSLY GATHERED INFORMATION
If at any point Wave Mobile Technologies decides to use particular personally identifiable information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time it was collected, Wave Mobile Technologies will notify Users by way of an email or by providing 30 days notice on the Wave Mobile Technologies Platform. We also encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically.
