  1. DISCLAIMERS 

The following disclaimers are made on behalf of Star Lux, our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and shareholders.

  • Star Lux does not provide transportation services, and Star Lux is not a transportation carrier. Star Lux is not a common carrier or public carrier. It is up to the Driver to decide whether to offer a ride to a Rider contacted through the Star Lux Platform, and it is up to the Rider to decide whether to accept a ride from any Driver contacted through the Star Lux Platform. We cannot ensure that a Driver or Rider will complete an arranged transportation service. We have no control over the quality or safety of the transportation that occurs as a result of the Rideshare Services.
  • The Star Lux Platform is provided on an “as is” basis and without any warranty or condition, express, implied or statutory. We do not guarantee and do not promise any specific results from use of the Star Lux Platform and/or the Rideshare Services, including the ability to provide or receive Rideshare Services at any given location or time. Star Lux reserves the right, for example, to limit or eliminate access to the Star Lux Platform for Rideshare Services in specific geographic areas and/or at specific times based on commercial viability, public health concerns, or changes in law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

As a Driver, you may be able to use “Star Lux Nav built by Google” while providing Rideshare Services on the Platform. Riders and Drivers may also use Google Maps while using the Star Lux App. In either case, you agree that Google may collect your location data when the Star Lux App is running in order to provide and improve Google’s services, that such data may also be shared with Star Lux in order to improve its operations, and that Google’s terms and privacy policy will apply to this usage.

  1. RULES GOVERNING THE ARBITRATION 

11.1 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”). 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. The parties may select a different arbitration administrator upon mutual written agreement.

11.2 If the parties reach agreement on an arbitrator not affiliated with the applicable arbitration provider or to use procedures either not specified in or in lieu of the applicable arbitration provider’s rules (as modified by this Arbitration Provision), any such agreement shall be memorialized in writing before arbitration is commenced. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator after a good faith meet and confer effort, then the applicable arbitration provider will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with its rules. The arbitrator will be selected from the applicable arbitration provider’s roster of arbitrators. Any arbitrator selected must be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney licensed to practice law in the state where the arbitration is conducted with experience in the law underlying the dispute.

11.3 Delivering a written arbitration demand to the other party will not relieve the party bringing the claim of the obligation to commence arbitration as described above. It shall always be the obligation of the party bringing the claim to commence arbitration.

  1. PAYING FOR THE ARBITRATION

Except in the case of offers of judgment (such as under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or any applicable state law equivalents, which apply to arbitrations under this Arbitration Provision), each party will pay the fees for its, his or her own attorneys and any costs that are common to both court and arbitration proceedings (such as court reporter costs and transcript fees), subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law.

  1. OPTIONAL PRE-ARBITRATION NEGOTIATION PROCESS 

Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and Star Lux may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and Star Lux. 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.
