THESE PROVISIONS WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST KAPTYN TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY.

Members will be charged a Monthly Subscription Fee each month and Member’s payment to Kaptyn will automatically renew each month unless you cancel your subscription through your Rider App before the end of the current subscription period. ALL PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Kaptyn may change the price for the Monthly Subscription Fee from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Monthly Subscription Fee will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use The Kaptyn Platform after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from Membership prior to the price change going into effect. Therefore, please make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully.
Each person may only create one Rider profile, and Kaptyn reserves the right to shut down any additional profile. As a Rider, you authorize Kaptyn to match you (and your guests) with a Driver based on factors such as your location, the estimated time to pick up, destination, your user preferences, Kaptyn Platform efficiency, and, if necessary or desirable, to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations. For purposes of this Agreement, the services provided by Kaptyn to Riders and/or their guests through The Kaptyn Platform (including transportation services), as well as any other services provided by Kaptyn to Riders and/or their guests, shall be referred to collectively as the “Services”. Any decision by a Rider to accept Services is a decision made in such Rider’s sole discretion.

Kaptyn shall not be required to verify the identity or age of any Rider or Minor Child prior to providing the Services. You, as the Rider Account owner, agree to obtain the consent of each Minor Child passenger’s parent or legal guardian prior to arranging Kaptyn Services. At the time of each request for the Services on behalf of a Minor Child, you warrant and represent by your request for the Services, that you have obtained authority granted by such Minor Child’s parent or legal guardian to request Kaptyn Services on behalf of the Minor Child passenger. Any unaccompanied Service provided to a Minor Child and requested by an authorized Rider Account is presumed by Kaptyn to be an authorized use of the Services. If you are accessing or using our Service on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on that person or entity’s behalf, that the person or entity agrees to be bound by this Agreement, and that you shall be jointly and severally responsible to Kaptyn if you or the other person or entity violates this Agreement.

Any child or minor passenger that requires the use of a booster seat or safety seat must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of eighteen (18) years to assist the child with installing the booster or safety seat and buckling into and out of the booster seat or safety seat. Kaptyn will not provide booster seats or safety seats for the Rider or the Rider’s guests. Kaptyn Drivers will not assist in installing a booster or safety seat or buckling a minor child into a booster or safety seat at any time. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when accessing or using the Services, and you may only access or use the Services for lawful purposes.
As a Rider, you understand that, in addition to your Monthly Subscription Fee, your request or use of our transportation Services will result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges include Fares (as defined below), Service Fees (as defined below), Damage Fees (as defined below), and other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges including without limitation, a booking fee, municipal tolls, airport surcharges or processing fees for split payments (“Other Charges”). Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request. You are responsible for reviewing the estimated Fare on The Kaptyn Platform and you shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your Rider Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.
Fares. When you request a reservation for transportation Services, we will provide you with a fare estimate based upon our estimate of the duration and distance of your ride. THE FARE ESTIMATE IS AN APPROXIMATION ONLY. Kaptyn does not guarantee that the fare estimate will be equal to the actual Fare payable for the same ride. The final amount payable by you may be greater than or less than the fare estimate. After the conclusion of your ride, we use GPS data from your Driver’s vehicle to calculate the cost of your ride based on duration and distance traveled on your ride, inclusive of any applicable taxes (where required by law) (“Fare”). We cannot guarantee the availability or accuracy of GPS data. If we lose signal, we will calculate the cost of your ride based on time and distance using other available data from your ride. Kaptyn will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Fares that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Fares incurred under your Rider Account regardless of your awareness of such Fares or the amounts thereof.
4. Service Fee. You will be charged a “Service Fee” equal to 18% of your final Fare. We collect this Service Fee to support ongoing Kaptyn operations, including but not limited to distributing incentive compensation to Drivers and/or other Kaptyn personnel involved in managing and maintaining the Kaptyn Service. For this reason, you should always feel no obligation to tip your Kaptyn Driver or any other Kaptyn personnel.
5. Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride, you may cancel it through The Kaptyn Platform, and in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You will also be charged if you fail to show up at your pre-determined pick-up location after requesting a ride.
6. Damage Fee. If a Driver reports that you have materially damaged an Kaptyn vehicle, you agree to pay a “Damage Fee” of up to $250 depending on the extent of the damage (as determined by Kaptyn in its sole discretion), towards vehicle repair or cleaning. Kaptyn reserves the right (but is not obligated) to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
4. General
4. Facilitation of Charges. All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processing service called Stripe, Inc. Kaptyn may change or replace its third-party payment processing services without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through The Kaptyn Platform. Cash payments for the Charges are strictly prohibited.
5. No Refunds. All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of The Kaptyn Platform, any disruption to The Kaptyn Platform or Services, or any other reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kaptyn may, in its sole discretion, issue any credits or refunds.
6. Coupons. Kaptyn may from time to time provide certain Riders 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 Fares applied to you. You may receive coupons that you can apply toward payment of certain Fares upon completion of a ride. Coupons are only valid for use on The Kaptyn Platform and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Coupons cannot be combined, and if the cost of your ride exceeds the applicable credit or discount value, we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the ride. We may also charge the amount attributable to the Service Fee, Damage Fee, or Other Charges before application of the coupon. Additional restrictions on coupons may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion.
7. Credit Card Authorization. Upon addition of a new payment method or each ride request, Kaptyn may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the ride cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge; however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or prepaid card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank. We can’t control the above charges of the above third parties, and we encourage you to read their policies before deciding whether to add and/or use a new payment method.
8. Receipt. Within a reasonable time following the completion of a ride, through electronic mail or text message, Kaptyn will submit a receipt to the Rider who requested the ride which shall include without limitation: (1) the origin and destination of the ride; (2) the total time and distance; and (3) an itemization of the total of the fare paid, if any. If the ride is canceled, Kaptyn will submit a receipt to the Rider which shall include without limitation an itemization of the total of the fare, fees, or cancelation fees, if any.

Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Kaptyn, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders. This Arbitration Agreement also applies to claims between you and Kaptyn’s service providers, including but not limited to background check providers and payment processors; and such service providers shall be considered intended third-party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.
Except as expressly provided below, ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND KAPTYN. These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), The Kaptyn Platform, the Services, any other goods or services made available through The Kaptyn Platform, your relationship with Kaptyn, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your Rider Account or this Agreement, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Kaptyn, trade secrets, unfair competition, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND KAPTYN ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND KAPTYN MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND KAPTYN BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, then those Claims shall be severed from any remaining claims and may be brought in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.
Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) (the “AAA Rules”) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding.
As part of the arbitration, both you and Kaptyn will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Riders but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Rider to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA Rules subject to the following modifications:
Unless you and Kaptyn agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Kaptyn and a Rider will take place in the State of Nevada. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, Kaptyn agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as determined by the AAA Rules. If your Claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction; and (2) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law not preempted by the FAA.
Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Securities Exchange Commission, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state, or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party's obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. However, should you bring an administrative claim, you may only seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to this Arbitration Provision, and you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint. Nothing in this Agreement or Arbitration Agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision.
In addition to the severability provisions in subsection (b) above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and Kaptyn may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time is mutually extended by you and Kaptyn. A party who intends to seek negotiation under this subsection must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability or for impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.
You agree not to use any technical, financial, strategic, and other proprietary and confidential information relating to Kaptyn’s business, operations and properties, information made available to you in connection with your use of the Platform, which may include a Driver’s name, pick-up location, contact information and photo (“Confidential Information”) disclosed to you by Kaptyn for your own use or for any purpose other than as contemplated herein. You shall not disclose or permit disclosure of any Confidential Information to third parties. You agree to take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure or use of Confidential Information of Kaptyn in order to prevent it from falling into the public domain. Notwithstanding the above, you shall not have liability to Kaptyn with regard to any Confidential Information which you can prove: was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed by Kaptyn or has entered the public domain through no fault of yours; was known to you, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; is disclosed with the prior written approval of Kaptyn; becomes known to you, without restriction, from a source other than Kaptyn without breach of this Agreement by you and otherwise not in violation of Kaptyn’s rights; or is disclosed pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that You shall provide prompt notice of such court order or requirement to Kaptyn to enable Kaptyn to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure.
Except as provided in Section 15, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to choice of law principles. This choice of law provision is only intended to specify the use of Nevada law to interpret this Agreement and is not intended to create any other substantive right to non-Nevadans to assert claims under Nevada law whether by statute, common law, or otherwise. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or non- binding, the parties shall remain bound by all other provisions of this Agreement. In that event, the parties shall replace the invalid or non-binding provision with provisions that are valid and binding and that have, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the invalid or non-binding provision, given the contents and purpose of this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement and all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by Kaptyn, in our sole discretion by providing notice to you. Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices to Kaptyn shall be given by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested to Kaptyn Holdings Corp., 4675 S. Wynn Road, Las Vegas, NV 89103. Any notices to you shall be provided to you through The Kaptyn Platform or given to you via the email address or physical you provide to Kaptyn during the registration process. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. A party’s failure to act with respect to a breach by the other party does not constitute a waiver of the party’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Kaptyn with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous understandings and agreements between the parties, whether oral or written.
