The exchange between Drivers and Riders for ground transportation (which may include the transport of persons or property) arranged through the carGO Application will be called “Transportation Services” in this Agreement.

If you do not agree with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not use or access the carGO Application or the Transportation Services.

2. Cancellation Fee. In the event that you cancel a Transportation Service request on the carGO Application more than 5 minutes after such request is made, make repeated or frequent cancellations, or fail to show up for your Transportation Services in a timely manner, you agree to pay a “Cancellation Fee”. carGO may also assess a Cancellation Fee against you if carGO suspect that you have intentionally cancelled rides to disrupt the carGO Application or the provision of Transportation Services.

This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the carGO Application, any disruption to the carGO Application or Transportation Services, or any other reason whatsoever.
7. Payment Authorization. Upon addition of a new payment method or each Transportation Service request, carGO may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify your payment method, ensure the Fare 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 provider's next processing cycle.
