RTL à la demande - Terms of use
Effective Date: October 19, 2018
Last Updated Date: November 02, 2018
I. Introduction and Eligibility
Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms“) carefully before using the Service.
These Terms include the Privacy Policy that is incorporated by reference into these Terms. We have included several annotations in boxes to help explain or emphasize key sections. These annotations are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
This agreement is a legally binding contract.
Binding Agreement. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (“RTL”, “Company”, “we”, “us”). “You” and “users” shall mean all users of the Service. You accept these Terms each time you access the Service. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the Service. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent and agree that you possess the legal consent of your parent or guardian to access and use the Service.
Revisions to Terms. We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms because you are bound by them. Your continued use of the Service after a change to these Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms.
The terms “post” and “posting” as used in these Terms shall mean the act of submitting, transmitting, sharing, uploading, publishing, displaying, or similar action on the Service.
II. The Service
The “Service” means RTL à la demande as well as any website, mobile application, or Internet service under RTL’s control, whether partial or other, in connection with providing RTL à la demande’s online platform that connects users with vehicle-sharing transportation providers. Each reservation a user makes with such vehicle-sharing transportation providers on the Service is a “Reservation”, and each ride taken through a Reservation is a “Ride”.
By using the Service to make a Reservation for a Ride, you are electing to use a ridesharing transportation service.
The Service is currently being offered as a pilot project and, as such, is limited in its capacity, geographic region, and hours of operation. The geographic region and hours of operation were selected as a function of the Service’s limited capacity during the pilot project and our forecast of the demand for the Service and have no discriminatory rationale or intention. After this pilot project, we will evaluate the potential for extending such a service to a larger geographic area and/or additional hours of operation in the future. Should you have any recommendations for additional times and/or areas of service, please contact us at rtl_a_la_demande@rtl-longueuil.qc.ca.
III. Eligibility to Use the Service

Cleaning/Damage Fees. If the interior or exterior of your driver’s vehicle is damaged or dirtied as a result of intentional or negligent acts, such as slamming of doors, vomiting, or pet accidents, an additional cleaning or damage Fee may be charged.
VI. Additional Guests
