The Driver Service Provider is obliged to exclusively visit Vhingo's designated offices with a replacement Mobile device to facilitate the installation of the Service Provider App on the new Mobile device.

In this scenario, Vhingo reserves the right to levy fees for the reinstallation of the Service Provider App on the Mobile device, with the fee amount to be determined by Vhingo.

Meaning and Definitions:
The words that are described and capitalized in these Driver T&C will all mean what is written below. Any words that aren't explained here will have the meanings given to them in the Subscription Agreement.

1. DRIVER T&C'S RELEVANCE

The relevance and applicability of these Driver Terms and Conditions (T&C) are intricately tied to a web of legal documents, which includes but is not limited to the Subscription Agreement, Commercial Term Segment, the Zero Tolerance Policy, and the comprehensive array of Vhingo Policies. These documents, when collectively scrutinized, shall be construed as having been integrated by reference into these Driver T&C. This integration subsequently manifests as a comprehensive and exhaustive understanding binding the Parties involved.

In consenting to the Driver T&C, you are inherently acknowledging and embracing the entirety of the Subscription Agreement, along with its assorted Exhibits. Furthermore, the broad scope of Vhingo Policies and any other policy that Vhingo may, at its discretion, make applicable to you during various intervals are also acknowledged and accepted to the fullest extent feasible.

Furthermore, your acceptance also entails a comprehensive comprehension and the granting of consent for the collection, retention, and dissemination of your Aadhaar card and any extracted information therefrom. This Information, in a mode compliant with privacy and data protection regulations, may be shared with Third Party Vendors and/or Government Authorities. This sharing occurs within the context of the onboarding process and the requisite background verification procedures.

2. THE EXPANSE OF SCOPE

It is incumbent upon you to acknowledge and concur that Vhingo's role is one of restraint, confined to functioning as a marketplace and an electronic commerce platform. This role exclusively revolves around the management and operation of the Portal, subject to Vhingo's unilateral decision on how to present the Service. This unilateral stance extends to the collection of payments, whether by cash or Wallet, in order to facilitate the intricate web of transactions between you and the discerning Customers.

In this context, Vhingo serves as an intermediary, specializing in the provisioning of online marketplace services. The Portal, in this light, transforms into a stage where your Service is proffered to the Customers. Under the framework of this arrangement, the contract for availing the Service establishes itself as an exclusive pact between you, the determined Driver, and the discerning Customer. Vhingo's obligations or liabilities, or the lack thereof, never intermingle with this contractual alliance at any given time.

The Driver firmly corroborates and assumes the mantle of responsibility by affirming that Vhingo does not, in any capacity, exercise ownership or control over the Customer's Vehicle when it is navigated by a Driver during the execution of the Service as mentioned above for the benefit of the Customer. In no capacity does Vhingo bear the liability or responsibility in the face of any insufficiency or deficiency that may permeate the Service provided by the Driver to the Customer. Vhingo refrains from presenting any representations or warranties concerning the quality of the Service disseminated by you, the Service Provider.

3. REQUESTS FOR SERVICES

1. 1. Upon the reception of a Service Request, the allocation of the booking shall fall within the domain of the Driver. The notification shall transpire on the Device or through such other modalities as may find Agreement between the Driver and Vhingo at intervals hence.
2. 2. The Driver, as part of their obligations, shall diligently fulfill each and every booking associated with the Services. In the event of any modifications, variations, or deviations that bear the potential to influence the seamless delivery of the Service, immediate communication through short message service or telephonic calls to Vhingo is mandated.
3. 3. When the need for any form of support arises in connection with the Portal, Application, Service Requests, the Service, or any other facet contained therein, the Driver is encouraged to liaise with the Vhingo call center.
4. 4. Upon the Driver's receipt of a Service Request on the Driver App, Vhingo may proceed to furnish the Customer with a photograph of the Driver, the mobile phone number of the Driver, and any other pertinent information. Such details, as necessitated by Applicable Laws or considered relevant by Vhingo, shall provide the Customer with the requisite identification parameters.
5. 5. Once the booking secures its allocation, Vhingo will provide essential Customer data to the Driver. This Information is indispensable for the Driver to execute the Service to the satisfaction of the Customer. It is worth noting that this Information retains its status as confidential, as delineated in Clause 13 below.
6. 6. Notably, in cases where the Driver identifies as female, the acceptance of Service Requests shall remain off-limits from 20:00 hours in the evening until 08:00 hours in the morning.

4. CORRESPONDENCE

As you employ the Driver App on Vhingo's Portal or transmit emails or other data, Information, or correspondence to Vhingo, it is incumbent upon you to recognize that such interaction constitutes electronic communication with Vhingo. Hence, your explicit understanding is what this called for, and you extend your consent to periodically receive communications through electronic records from Vhingo as and when deemed necessary. Vhingo, at its discretion, may utilize various modes for these communications, including but not limited to electronic means or any other suitable modality.

Furthermore, your deliberate concurrence is with this solicited to permit Vhingo to contact you through your registered phone number and/or email ID. By doing so, you assent to being reachable by Vhingo through telephone calls and SMS notifications. It is integral to clarify that any communication thus received from Vhingo should not be classified as spam, nor does it entail unsolicited communication that runs afoul of your enrollment in the 'national do not call registry.'

With your registration under Vhingo, you, by the same token, consent to (i) furnish Information that falls within the purview of Vhingo's legal obligations, as mandated by Know Your Customer norms under Applicable Laws, encompassing, among other things, your Permanent Account Number (PAN); and (ii) adopt a stance of due diligence and stay apprised of the Applicable Laws that may carry implications affecting your responsibility as a Driver.

It is incumbent upon you to acknowledge and confirm that your Information may traverse geographical boundaries, possibly being transferred or archived on a server located outside of India or the nation in which you are situated. This arrangement is set in motion to facilitate the fulfillment of Vhingo's obligations pursuant to these Driver T&C.

9. DISCLAIMER

When it comes to clarifications and disavowals, it is crucial to understand that Vhingo explicitly rejects and will continue to reject any statements and guarantees to the Customer. These warranties, if they exist at all, cover many categories, including condition, suitability, quality, merchantability, and fitness for any discernible objectives related to the Services given by the Driver through the Portal.

Vhingo's disclaimers extend to the realms of technology and service provision. The assurance of unerring, uninterrupted access to the Portal or Driver App and the seamless delivery of Services across temporal and geographical bounds within the Portal remain unattainable assurances. The oft-anticipated imperfections, whether technological or operational, cannot be entrusted to a swift rectification by Vhingo.

At the same time, Vhingo's Portal and the many technical advances that Vhingo has made to the Device are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." Through this unique foundation, Vhingo is making a clear statement that they are not responsible for any damages or guarantees. Among these are stated, implied, and statutory warranties, but they are not limited to those.

These disclaimers include, but go beyond, any guarantee of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. They also include claims about correctness, completeness, or any other contractual promise that comes from the way the contract was performed or dealt with. Also, there are no guarantees that Vhingo's Portal, the Driver App, or any other technology on the Driver's Device will work with each other. There may be differences in the final results and performance of the Portal and Driver App depending on the type of Device being used.

10. PRIVACY AND SECRECY

By agreeing to these Driver Terms and Conditions, you recognize that you will be granted access to confidential information belonging to Vhingo and its affiliated entities, as given by Vhingo. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of all data and other privileged information belonging to Vhingo and refrain from selling or disclosing such information to any third parties.

Unless otherwise specified, Vhingo will have sole ownership of customer data, and you are prohibited from using or distributing this data for personal purposes, save for the purpose of these Driver Terms and Conditions. You must maintain confidentiality of this data at all times. Confidential information encompasses a range of data, such as customer details, market information, work products, documents related to work, the contents of the Portal, Driver App, or any other information that Vhingo treats as confidential. It also includes any other information, whether communicated verbally or in writing, that you receive or will receive and agree to treat as confidential, either explicitly or implicitly.

11. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Understand that you promise to protect and defend Vhingo, along with its related entities, successors, agents, appointees, and all of their leaders, executives, staff, partners, representatives, and messengers, from any financial setbacks, harm, legal claims expenses, fines, and costs (including, without restrictions, fair fees for lawyers).

This commitment arises from (i) any breach or alleged violation of your duties, performance, or adherence to your position, duties, functions, obligations, promises, or guarantees under the Driver T&C; (ii) any violation of Vhingo's rules or other rules offered by Vhingo; (iii) any damage to Vhingo's reputation and favorable public image; (iv) any allegations of infringing a third party's intellectual property through the Driver's misuse of Vhingo's intellectual property in an unauthorized way as per these Driver T&C; (v) the Driver's misconduct or unauthorized access to data on the Portal or allowing the transfer of such data to Vhingo's competitors or its related entities or any third party; and (vii) fraudulent activities, negligence, and wrongdoing by the Driver.

You shall bear responsibility for compensating and safeguarding Vhingo against any financial harm, losses, expenses, and costs incurred by Vhingo as a result of any grievances from Customers regarding subpar services. Moreover, in addition to Vhingo's right to indemnification under the terms of these Driver T&C, Vhingo shall also possess other legal recourses available according to the applicable laws.

In no circumstance shall Vhingo assume responsibility for any losses arising from or connected to these Driver T&C as part of any claim brought by the Driver against Vhingo, be it under contract, tort, or any other basis, provided that such losses could have been mitigated by the Driver using reasonable efforts. Furthermore, Vhingo shall not be accountable to the Driver, whether in contract, tort, or any other form, for indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages of any nature, even if informed about the potential for such damages. Despite any contrary provisions contained elsewhere in the Agreement, Vhingo's total cumulative liability to the Driver or anyone asserting a right through the Driver shall not exceed INR 500.

Vhingo bears no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage incurred by the Driver due to the utilization of Vhingo's services, whether directly or indirectly. Such losses may arise from various circumstances, including but not limited to damage caused by a Customer's failure to adhere to instructions, malfunctions, or the total or partial failure of network terminals, data processing systems, computer tele-transmission, or telecommunications systems. These situations may occur beyond Vhingo's control or that of any associated parties or organizations.

The Driver is also accountable to Vhingo for any losses resulting from the Driver's negligence or any unlawful actions or omissions while performing the Service. It is worth noting that Vhingo shall not be liable for any direct or indirect losses incurred by the Driver if a Customer fails to appear within a stipulated time, even if Vhingo has agreed to the timing, or if the Customer has forewarned Vhingo of their potential non-compliance with the schedule.
