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

Children. The Service is not intended for persons under the age of 13. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

No one under the age of 18 is allowed to register with or use the Service without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 18, by registering for and using the Service, you warrant and represent that you have legal consent to do so from a parent or guardian. If you are a parent or guardian of a minor who has registered for or used the Service without your consent, please contact us at rtl_a_la_demande@rtl-longueuil.qc.ca.

Agent of a Company, Entity, or Organization. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, entity, or organization (collectively “Organization”), then you represent and warrant that you:

1. are an authorized representative of that Organization;

2. have the authority to bind that Organization to these Terms; and

3. agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of that Organization.

IV. Your Account

You are responsible for your log-in credentials and for keeping your information up to date.

You are responsible for any activity resulting from the use of your log-in credentials on the Service.

You represent and warrant that the information you provide to the Company upon use of the Service and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete.

Your Log-In Credentials. To use the Service, you may need to log in by providing a username, password, and cellular phone number. Your account is personal to you, and you may not share your account information with, or allow access to your account by, any third party. As you will be responsible for all activity that occurs under your access credentials (including, without limitation, the behavior of any other person who travels in your party), you agree to use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Service and to preserve the confidentiality of your username and password, and of any device that you use to access the Service.

If you have reason to believe that your account credentials have been compromised or your account has been accessed by a third party, you agree to notify the Company immediately by email at rtl_a_la_demande@rtl-longueuil.qc.ca. You will be solely responsible for the losses incurred by the Company and others due to any unauthorized use of your account.

V. Payments and Billing

RTL à la demande is offered at the same rates as the regular public transportation services offered by the RTL.

No-Show Policy. If you are not present at the time and place designated in your reservation, that is considered a " no-show ". Repeated " no-shows" may lead the RTL to involve an intervention with you, up to the suspension of your account, inat RTL à la demande’s sole discretion.

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

If you make a Reservation and several people are travelling in your party, you, as the account associated with the Reservation, are responsible for the conduct of everyone travelling in your party.
When you make a Reservation, you must indicate how many people are travelling in your party. If you do not, we reserve the right to refuse service to additional guests.

VII. Communications

RTL à la demande may communicate with you by email, text message or a notice posted on the Service. You may request that we provide you with notice of security breaches in writing.
You agree to receive email from us at the email address you provided to us for customer-service purposes.

You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please write to us at rtl_a_la_demande@rtl-longueuil.qc.ca.

The section titles and annotations in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

XVI. Arbitration

These Terms and the relationship between you and RTL will be governed by the laws applicable in the province of Quebec without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
