  1. STAR LUX PLATFORM

The Star Lux Platform provides a marketplace where, among other things, persons who seek transportation to certain destinations (“Riders”) can be matched with transportation options to such destinations. As a User, you authorize Star Lux to match you with Drivers or Riders based on factors such as your location, the requested pickup location, the estimated time to pick up, your destination, User preferences, driver mode, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and/or rematch you with a Driver or Rider based on the same considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Rideshare Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. You acknowledge that your ability to request, and if applicable, obtain transportation, logistics and/or delivery services from third-party providers in connection with the use of the STAR LUX marketplace platform and services does not establish STAR LUX as a provider of transportation, logistics or delivery services or as a transportation or property carrier.

Star Lux is not a common or motor carrier, does not transport you, and use of the STAR LUX marketplace platform is only open to registered users of the Star Lux marketplace platform and not to the general public.

  1. CHARGES

As a Rider, you understand that request or use of Rideshare Services may result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges related to bikes and scooters are addressed in the applicable Supplemental Agreement. Charges for Rideshare Services include Fares and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes as set forth on your market’s Star Lux Cities page http://www.starluxride.com/), plus any tips to the Driver that you elect to pay. Star Lux has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by posting applicable pricing terms to your market’s Star Lux Cities page or quoting you a price for a specific ride at the time you make a request. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request.

  • Variable Fares. Variable fares consist of a base charge and incremental charges based on the duration and distance of your ride. For particularly short rides, minimum fares may apply. Please note that we use GPS data from your Driver’s phone to calculate the distance traveled on your ride.
  • Quoted Fares. In some cases, Star Lux may quote you a Fare at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the ride request is confirmed. If during your ride you change your destination, make multiple stops, or attempt to abuse the Star Lux Platform, we may cancel the fare quote and charge you a variable fare based on the time and distance of your ride.
  1. FEES AND OTHER CHARGES
  • Tips. Following a ride, you may elect to tip your Driver in cash or through the Star Lux Platform. You may also elect to set a default tip amount or percentage through the Star Lux App. Any tips will be provided entirely to the applicable Driver.
  • Prime Time. At certain times, including times of high demand for Rideshare Services (“Prime Time”), you acknowledge that Charges may increase substantially. For all rides with a variable fare, we will use reasonable efforts to inform you of any Prime Time increases in effect at the time of your request. For Quoted Fares we may factor in the Prime Time increases into the quoted price of the ride.
  • Damage Fee. If a Driver reports that you have materially damaged the Driver’s vehicle, you agree to pay a “Damage Fee” of up to $250 depending on the extent of the damage (as determined by Star Lux in its sole discretion), towards vehicle repair or cleaning. Star Lux reserves the right (but is not obligated) to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
  • Other Charges. Other fees and surcharges may apply to your ride, including actual or anticipated airport fees, state or local fees, or event fees as determined by Star Lux or its marketing partners. In addition, where required by law Star Lux will collect applicable taxes. See your market’s Star Lux Cities page for details on other Charges that may apply to your ride.
  • Cancellation Fee. After requesting a ride, you may cancel it through the Star Lux App, but note that in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You may also be charged if you fail to show up after requesting a ride.
  • Tolls. In some instances, tolls (or return tolls) may apply to your ride. We do not guarantee that the amount charged by Star Lux will match the toll charged to the Driver.
  1. PAYMENT

As between you and Star Lux, Star Lux reserves the right to establish or adjust Charges for any or all services or goods obtained using the Services at any time. Star Lux will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, if you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Certain users may from time to time receive promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained using the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. Promotional offers and discounts are subject to change or withdrawal at any time and without notice. You may elect to cancel your request for Services at any time prior to the commencement of such Services, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee on a Third-Party Provider’s behalf.

  1. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION

Upon addition of a new payment method or each ride request, Star Lux may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the ride cost 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 bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or prepaid card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.

  1. FACILITATION OF CHARGES

All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processor (e.g., First Data, Stripe, Inc., or Braintree, a division of PayPal, Inc.). may replace its third-party payment processor without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the Star Lux Platform. Except for tips, cash payments are strictly prohibited. Your payment of Charges to Star Lux satisfies your payment obligation for your use of the Star Lux Platform and Rideshare Services. Certain Charges may be collectively billed as a single purchase transaction to your selected payment method based on the payment frequency indicated in your settings. If you don’t recognize a transaction, then check your ride receipts and payment history.

  1. COUPONS

You may receive coupons that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges upon completion of a Ride. Coupons are only valid for use on the Star Lux Platform and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Coupons cannot be combined unless expressly provided otherwise, and if the cost of your ride exceeds the applicable credit or discount value, we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the Ride.

  1. NO REFUNDS

All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall always apply regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Star Lux Platform, any disruption to the Star Lux Platform or Rideshare Services, or any other reason whatsoever.

For the avoidance of doubt, this precludes you from bringing claims as or participating in any kind of any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, mass and/or representative or other kind of group, multi-plaintiff or joint action against Star Lux and no action brought by you may be consolidated or joined in any fashion with any other proceeding. where your claims are brought and litigated to completion on such an individual basis in a court of competent jurisdiction, Star Lux agrees to honor your election. similarly, you may not recover money damages under this arbitration provision if you have already adjudicated such claim with the nlrb. nothing in this agreement or arbitration agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this arbitration provision.
