When communicating with other Members, it is your job to use common sense and assess their appropriateness. Potential drivers and passengers should be approached directly, and you should exercise the same care you would when meeting someone for the first time.
You alone are accountable for how you communicate with other Members. In the event of such contacts, GoMyway USA shall not be held responsible for any injury or damage. We retain the right to keep an eye on conversations and block members who publish inappropriate content.
Release:
GoMyWay USA will act as a facilitator and not become involved in any Member issues. You waive any claims, demands, and damages against GoMyWay USA and its affiliates by using the Service.

Use and Access of the Service Unless otherwise authorized through a written agreement with the firm, no commercial activities are allowed on the GoMyWay USA platform.
Ridesharing Not for Profit:
Only non-commercial ride sharing between drivers and passengers is the Service's sole purpose. Any use of the Service for commercial or profit-making endeavours is strictly forbidden absent the written agreement of GoMyWay USA.
Non-Profit Travel: Drivers cannot make any money from any travel. The primary purpose of the Service and the trip donation is to pay the driver's expenses; no profit-making is permitted. No trip contributions, trip kinds, frequency, or passenger capacity-based revenues are permitted for drivers. This applies to all activities and extra services that drivers and passengers have agreed upon.
All journeys, including pick-up and drop-off sites, must be pre-arranged with the Service in advance. Passengers may not be picked up by drivers from places that have not been pre-planned using the Service.
Speculative Journeys
Drivers are not permitted to submit speculative excursions. Trips may only be listed if the driver is confident in the itinerary and will leave at the scheduled time, whether or not reservations have been made.
Insurance Responsibility
The service may NOT be used in a manner that renders a driver's insurance coverage worthless. GoMyWay USA limits its liability in accordance with the Terms of Service and disclaims liability for any member's violation of these Terms of Service or breach of an agreement between members, including when a driver renders services in a manner that could render their insurance invalid.
Not an agent or contract party:
GoMyWay USA serves as a forum for contact between members; it does not offer transport services. Trips, locations, or timings are not handled by the Service. The only parties to the ridesharing contract are the driver and the passenger. GoMyWay USA does not represent any member and is not a party to any agreement or transaction between members.
Effects of a Breach:
Any violation of these terms of service will result in the immediate suspension of your account and could prevent you from using the Service in the future.
GoMyWay USA accessibility:
Account Creation: Each member must register for a GoMyWay USA account in order to use the ridesharing service. You must log in or register with your email and password, fill out all necessary areas, validate your email address and phone number, and give accurate personal information in order to create an account.
Account Use and Ownership:
You consent to keeping your account private and not granting anyone else access to it. You alone, and not another person or on behalf of another person, must take all actions, communicate with other users, make all reservations, and utilize all features available through the Service.
Security and Confidentiality:
You are in charge of protecting the secrecy of your login information and are required to alert GoMyWay USA immediately of any unauthorized use or security breach.
Eligibility:
GoMyWay USA has the last say on who is eligible to utilize the service, and it maintains the right to stop providing it to any member at any moment.
Conditions of Service Provision at GoMyWay USA Discretion: GoMyWay USA has the right to discontinue, limit, or modify the Service as it sees fit.
Consistencies of the Service
Trips:
When a driver offers a trip, they must include the origin, destination, date, time, number of seats available, and any other pertinent information. Drivers can be contacted by passengers to make reservations for seats.
Communication between members is made possible through a messaging service offered by GoMyWay USA. While private communications are just between the driver and the passenger, public messages are seen by all users.
Bookings :
Travelers can reserve tickets using an online credit card. Depending on the system selected, drivers can choose to manually approve or automatically accept reservations.
Currency and Payments:
Stripe's secure online payment solution is used to handle all payments in American Dollars (USD).
Booking Fee:
On each reservation made through the platform, GoMyWay USA charges a booking fee. During the booking procedure, the cost is added to the trip contribution and paid by the passenger.
Interests :
If payments or contributions made through the Service's booking service are not made on time, interest may eventually accumulate. Members agree not to claim any interest that has accumulated on any unpaid amounts, unless in rare circumstances.
Identity theft and fraud
Members consent to work with "GoMyWay USA," banks, or other governmental or non-governmental organizations to stop fraud and money laundering. This includes making available legitimate identification upon request. If such demands are complied with, the Service may allow access to the Service and/or freeze due money for trips or reservations made via the Service.
To be paid to the driver
Drivers must supply their banking information, including their car plate number reference code, for payment processing. A bank account is the only supported payout method for making payouts to drivers on "GoMyWay USA." Only American bank accounts in USD are processed for bank account disbursements. Payments issued to improper bank accounts cannot be reversed, and "GoMyWay USA" disclaims responsibility for inaccurate bank account information given by drivers. For security reasons and to stop fraud, further verifications—including identification verification—might be needed.
Payment Procedure
The passenger's money passes through a 24-hour clearance process after the trip. The payment is cleared the next day after this time has ended, and there are no issues. The driver can then get the contribution share of the amount as a Payout after deducting the booking charge. For the Payout to be executed, the driver's "GoMyWay USA" account must have a working Payout Method configured. Drivers receive payouts once a day. The Payout is forfeited, and the money belongs to "GoMyWay USA" if a legitimate Payout Method isn't recorded within four weeks of the trip's completion.
Conditions for Payment to the Driver:
1. Five (5) minutes before the pick-up time, arrive at the location.
2. Before leaving, let authorised passengers know of any changes to the itinerary.
3. Up to 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time, wait for passengers and phone those that have not arrived before departing.
4. Drive people safely to the specified destination.
5. Not without "GoMyWay USA's express consent, run a for-profit, commercial business.
6. If these requirements are not met, "GoMyWay USA" retains the right to issue a refund to a passenger and/or to terminate the driver's account.
