BaseBites Terms & Conditions

Effective: January 01, 2022 (Version 1)

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms“) set forth the terms and conditions BaseBites, LLC., (“BaseBites”) requires you to accept if you want to download, install, access or use the BaseBites platform (“Platform”) via our website at www.base-bites.com (“Website”) and/or via any associated application or API (“App”) in order to receive Delivery Services from, or perform Delivery Services for, other Users of the Platform. These Terms whether stated or otherwise referenced herein constitute a legal agreement between you and BaseBites. By using or accessing the BaseBites Platform in any manner, including downloading, installing, or using any App, or receiving or performing any Delivery Services, you hereby expressly acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms, and any future amendments and additions to these Terms as published from time to time at our Website at https://www.base-bites.com/terms or on the App. Upon accessing or using the BaseBites Platform, or receiving or performing Delivery Services you become a “User” or “Customer” of BaseBites’ Platform, whether as a “Driver” or a “Dasher“, as further described herein.

These Terms expressly include the Driver Agreement and Dasher Agreement which are incorporated into these Terms by this reference. These Agreements set forth the specific obligations you must agree to in order to use the Platform as a Driver or a Dasher and you agree to be bound by the applicable Agreement upon accepting these Terms.

You may only access the Platform using the Website, an App or other specifically authorized means. It is your responsibility to check to ensure you download the correct App for your mobile, tablet, computer or similar device (“Device“). BaseBites is not liable if you do not have a compatible Device or if you have downloaded the wrong version of the App for your Device. BaseBites reserves the right to deactivate your account and your ability to use our Platform if you access the Platform with the wrong version of the App or an incompatible or unauthorized Device.

BaseBites reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of these Terms or any of its policies relating to our Platform or the accessing of Delivery Services by our Users thereon at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of the Terms on our Website and on our App. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these places for any updates to the Terms. Use of our Platform after any updates to these Terms shall constitute your consent to all such changes made to the Terms in such update and your affirmation of your agreement to the updated Terms as a whole.

OUR SERVICES UNITE DRIVERS AND DASHERS

Our Platform makes possible a connection between those individuals and/or businesses (“Dashers“) that want to contract with someone to pick-up, carry and/or deliver personal property and goods (“Delivery Services“) and those individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform the Delivery Services (“Drivers“). The performance of Delivery Services by a Driver, the time period in which these Delivery Services are performed by a Driver, as well as the item(s) of personal property and goods being picked-up, carried and/or delivered by a Driver, are collectively referred to as a “Gig”. Drivers and Dashers together are referred to as “Users“ of our Platform.

Our Platform connects third party Drivers who want to deliver Gigs for third party Dashers, and gives those Dashers a way to find those Drivers and schedule their Gigs. Drivers are self-employed individuals and independent contractors who choose to perform Delivery Services for Dashers posting Gigs on our Platform. At no time does BaseBites control whether or when a Dasher posts a particular Gig, or whether or when a Driver chooses to offer for a particular Gig. Agreeing to perform Delivery Services for Dashers through the BaseBites Platform does not preclude a Driver from providing Delivery Services, or any other types of services, under another platform or for other persons simultaneously.

BASEBITES IS A LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT PLATFORM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

WE ARE NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. IT IS THE DRIVER’S SOLE DECISION WHETHER TO OFFER FOR AND PROVIDE THE DELIVERY SERVICES REQUESTED BY A DASHER.

Our Platform enables connections between our Users to contract for Gigs; however BaseBites has no control over and is not responsible for the performance, actions, or inactions of any User, whether associated with the use of our Platform or the receiving or providing the Delivery Services via our Platform, in public, private, or offline interactions, or otherwise. That’s why we rely on YOU, our Users, to follow some rules to keep the BaseBites community safe, friendly, and helpful for all!

Keeping the BaseBites Community safe, friendly and helpful for all means that all Users of our Platform have a responsibility to treat each other with respect and dignity. That is why BaseBites strictly enforces its Non-Discrimination and Respect Others Policies as set forth below.

BaseBites Non-Discrimination Policy

BaseBites and its affiliates prohibit discrimination against any User or other third party based on race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable law. BaseBites wants all of our Users to feel safe and welcome and we do not tolerate any conduct that we determine to be discriminatory.

Such discrimination includes, but is not limited to, intentionally refusing or canceling Gigs solely for the purpose of avoiding a particular neighborhood due to the characteristics of the people or businesses that are located in that area or because you are uncomfortable with certain persons based on traits such as age, color, disability, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.

BaseBites Respect Others Policy

BaseBites prohibits all Users from displaying any aggressive, confrontational, intimidating, threatening or harassing behavior toward others, including without limitation:

Hitting, hurting, or intending to hurt any person or animal, or threatening to do the same. Using language or making gestures that could be disrespectful, harassing or threatening.

Sexual assault or sexual harassment or misconduct of any kind. Assault includes any intentional bodily contact made without explicit consent of the other person, and sexual harassment and misconduct, includes without limitation unconsented to advances, behaviors and remarks like nudging, whistling, winking or flirting, discussing your own or someone else’s sex life, using explicit language, or making jokes about sex.

Disrespecting personal space and/or privacy, like standing unnecessarily close, or commenting on personal appearance, perceived gender identity, or sexual orientation, or asking unrelated personal questions.

ANY USER FOUND TO HAVE VIOLATED BaseBites’ NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY OR ITS RESPECT OTHERS POLICY WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE ALL ACCESS TO THE BaseBites PLATFORM.

Consumer Report and/or Investigative Consumer Reports

After a Driver forms an account on the BaseBites App and is conditionally granted the right to access and use the BaseBites App BaseBites will obtain your consumer report and/or investigative consumer report from a third-party Credit Reporting Agency (“CRA”). During registration as a Driver, you are required to provide a valid driver’s license and Social Security Number, and your written consent to BaseBites obtaining your consumer report and/or investigative consumer report at that time, prior to allowing you to perform Gigs, and/or at any time thereafter, as and when determined in our sole discretion, and without any additional consent from you, as may be allowed pursuant to applicable law. The consumer report and/or investigative consumer report does not include a credit check.

In order to be eligible to perform certain Gigs and to help protect against theft and fraud, Drivers may be asked to submit additional personal information to verify their identity, including biometric information or identifiers such as a selfie, scan of their driver’s license and/or other government ID or photo, scan of their face, facial patterns, fingerprints, and voice or typing cadence (“biometric data”).

BaseBites uses various third party technology, tools and services to collect your personal information and biometric data from you. For more information on how your personal information and biometric data are used and disclosed, please see our Privacy Policy at https://www.base-bites.com/privacy.

ALL USERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY ACCESSING AND USING OUR PLATFORM TO RECEIVE OR PERFORM DELIVERY SERVICES, THEY MAY BE EXPOSED TO UNKNOWN THIRD-PARTIES AND CONTENTS IN GIGS THAT MAY BE OR ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, OFFENSIVE, HARMFUL, UNSAFE OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE.

DRIVERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Generally

It is every Driver’s duty and obligation to know and comply with these Terms and the Drivers Agreement found here: https://www.base-bites.com/BaseBites-drivers-agreement contained herein and all applicable federal and state laws relating to the items included in any Gig they offer to perform.

Permits, Auto Insurance and Health Insurance

Because Drivers act as their own employer in providing Delivery Services via the BaseBites Platform, BaseBites does not, and has no responsibility to, provide or pay for any permit, license or insurance a Driver may need or that may be advisable, to perform Delivery Services via the BaseBites Platform. Many states require a Driver to have permits and/or licenses to carry certain Gigs. Additionally, many insurance companies will require a Driver to have some level of commercial insurance if using a personal vehicle for business purposes and all Drivers should be aware that their standard automobile liability insurance may not provide them coverage while they are engaged in performing a Gig or while or logged into the App.

BaseBites does not provide health insurance, or any other compensation to Drivers if they are hurt or injured while performing a Gig and BaseBites does not carry workers’ compensation insurance for any Driver unless specifically required by State law. For these reasons, all Drivers are required to have adequate health insurance prior to performing a Gig. Only you can know if you are physically capable of handling a Gig you agree to deliver and BaseBites is not liable to you for any costs or damages you may suffer if you are hurt or injured while performing a Gig. At all times you are solely responsible for the costs of any medical care you may require due to any such injury.

It is a Drivers’ responsibility to know what auto insurance, health insurance, licenses and permits are required or recommended and to procure the same prior to offering on Gigs. A Driver must have valid auto insurance in such amounts as required by State Law and its insurer to cover Driver’s performance of Gigs through the BaseBites Platform PRIOR to offering on Gigs. A Driver will not be allowed to deliver Gigs and will be removed from the Platform if the Driver does not have auto insurance coverage in at least the minimum amounts required by the State in which the Driver provides Delivery Services. A Driver must carry proof of all required auto insurance coverage at all times while performing Gigs and must provide the same to BaseBites and/or other authorities and officials upon request.

A DRIVER MUST HAVE THE REQUIRED INSURANCE, LICENSES AND PERMITS TO CARRY ALL ITEMS CONTAINED IN GIG.

ALL DRIVERS SHOULD CHECK WITH PROFESSIONALS TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE REQUIRED INSURANCE, LICENSES AND PERMITS BEFORE YOU OFFER FOR A GIG.

BASEBITES HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DRIVER OR DASHER NOT HAVING THE PROPER AUTHORITY, PERMITS, LICENSES OR INSURANCE TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS AGREED UPON ON THE PLATFORM.

Confidential Information

During the performance of Gigs, Drivers will have access to the “Confidential Information” of many third parties, including without limitation, the Confidential Information of BaseBites, Dashers, and/or Gig recipients. “Confidential Information” means all information, whether oral, written, contained on electronic media or otherwise, to which a Driver is given or has access to, or is made available to the Driver in connection with the performance of Gigs, including without limitation names, addresses, telephone numbers and other information which may be used to specifically identify a person (“PII” or “Personally Identifiable Information”), and health information protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPPA” and “Protected Health Information”).

Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, all information regarding BaseBites’ personnel or customer information of BaseBites, Dashers and/or Gig recipients of which a Driver becomes aware.

BaseBites and Drivers have special obligations with respect to the protection of Personally Identifiable Information and Protected Health Information and a Driver is responsible for both knowing those obligations and complying with the same. Failure to meet these obligations will result in the Driver’s permanent removal from the BaseBites Platform and the Driver shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Personally Identifiable Information: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. It is important to recognize that non-PII can become PII whenever additional information is made available — in any medium and from any source — that, when combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual. BaseBites and Drivers are under a strict obligation not to use or disclose PII except as necessary to perform and deliver Gigs.

Protected Health Information: If a Driver delivers Gigs containing prescriptions, medicines or other medical documents, the Driver may have access to Protected Health Information. While Dashers should not be making Protected Health Information accessible to Drivers, if such information is accessed inadvertently, Drivers are under a strict obligation not to use or disclose it in any manner.

BY USING THE BaseBites PLATFORM TO RECEIVE OR PERFORM DELIVERY SERVICES YOU MAY AND/OR WILL GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THIRD PARTIES’ CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY, PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE AND/OR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION.

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU, AS A USER OF THE BaseBites PLATFORM ARE SUBJECT TO A STRICT DUTY TO MAINTAIN THE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ALL SUCH CONFIDENTIAL AND PERSONAL INFORMATION AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY YOU DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR USE SUCH INFORMATION FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAN TO RECEIVE OR PERFORM DELIVERY SERVICES VIA THE BaseBites PLATFORM.

Driver Teams and Driver Personnel

To the extent permitted by law and subject to these Terms, Drivers may work in teams (“Driver Teams”) and/or may hire or engage others as employees or subcontractors (collectively “Driver Personnel”) to perform all or some of the Delivery Services to be provided by the Driver, provided all Driver Team members and all Driver Personnel are registered and have formed an account on the BaseBites Platform and meet all requirements applicable to Drivers contained in the Terms including, presenting, or agreeing to BaseBites obtaining, their consumer report and/or investigative consumer report, and agreeing to these Terms and Drivers Agreement, prior to Driver using such Driver Personnel to perform Delivery Services on Driver’s behalf.

To the extent a Drivers work in a Driver Team, all Drivers in such Team shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations and liabilities arising from acts and omissions of the Driver Team in performing the Delivery Services. To the extent that a Driver provides Delivery Services using Driver Personnel, Driver shall be solely responsible for the direction and control of the Personnel it uses in the performance of Delivery Services, and solely liable for all obligations and liabilities arising from acts and omissions of Driver Personnel in performing the Delivery Services, as if Driver was performing such Delivery Services themself. Driver also assumes full and sole responsibility for the payment of all amounts due to their Personnel for any work performed under these Terms, including all wages, benefits and expenses, if any, and for all required state and federal income tax withholdings, unemployment insurance contributions, and social security taxes.

The Drivers Agreement provides more details regarding a Driver’s responsibilities and obligations with respect to the use of Driver Personnel.

DASHER RESPONSIBILITIES

General It is every Dasher’s duty and obligation to know and comply with the restrictions contained herein and all applicable federal and state laws relating to the items included in their Gig. Dashers have the responsibility to package items appropriately based on level of risk, fragility and other factors specific to the individual item. BaseBites is not liable for loss or damage to any Gig if it is not properly packed to withstand transport, or to ensure the safety and integrity of the item or in compliance with all applicable laws. Dasher will be fully responsible for all liabilities arising from Dasher’s failure to comply with these Terms, or all applicable laws with respect to the inclusion of specific items contained in a Gig.

Packaging

Dasher Open Box Policy: BaseBites encourages the use of minimal packaging both to help our environment and so our Drivers know what they are taking along on their ride. When packaging is required or desired, BaseBites supports and strongly encourages its Drivers and Dashers to always use an Open Box Policy. BaseBites’ Open Box Policy means our Dashers should always leave packaging open so that a Driver may inspect the contents before leaving with the Gig. If a Dasher doesn’t leave the packaging open, a Driver always has the right to require a Dasher to open packaging to inspect items before leaving with the Gig.
Dashers should know that a Driver is NEVER under an obligation to take or bring anything that the Driver has not been given the right to inspect as described and limited above and can always cancel the Gig without penalty if a Dasher does not allow inspection or gives a hard time about the Driver asking to inspect the Gig.
Packing Your Gigs Generally: Dashers have the responsibility to package items appropriately based on level of risk, fragility and other factors specific to the individual item, as determined by the Dasher. BaseBites cannot know what packaging is necessary for any item you send. Please use your common sense when packing your Gig as BaseBites is not liable for loss or damage to any Gig if it is not properly packed to withstand transport, or to ensure the safety and integrity of the item or in compliance with all applicable laws.

BASEBITES PROTECTION PLAN

BaseBites wants you to feel confident that your Gig is in good hands. With no extra fee, the BaseBites Protection Plan provides Dashers with protection against loss, damage or theft to items in your Gig, up to $100* of protection per Gig. Additional Protection is available for purchase through BaseBites’ partnership with UPS Capital, up to $10,0000* per Gig. *Exceptions and limitations apply, please read full policy before purchasing any Additional Protection.

CANCELATIONS AND NO-SHOWS

Cancelation by Dashers

If a Dasher needs or wants to cancel a Gig, please cancel the request as soon as possible. This will notify the Driver and free them up to accept other Gigs from other Dashers. To cancel a Gig, tap Cancel on the Gig Details screen within the BaseBites App, or call Customer Support at 1-(470)-785-9787.

What Happens When a Dasher Cancels or is a No Show? BaseBites will charge a Dasher $10 for each canceled Gig and/or each no-show. A Gig is deemed canceled if the Dasher cancels the Gig once a Driver is already on his way to fulfill the Gig (“Cancelation“). A Dasher will be considered a no-show if the Dasher drop offs the Gig at the designated pick-up or drop-off location (1) more than 15 minutes after the agreed pick-up/drop-off time without calling, messaging or otherwise contacting the Driver through the Platform, or (2) more than 30 minutes after the agreed pick- up/drop-off time, whether or not Dasher has contacted the Driver (“No-Show“). If either a Dasher Cancelation or No-Show occurs, a $10 cancelation fee is automatically charged to the Dasher’s account.

A Dasher will not be charged a cancelation fee if they cancel a Gig due to a Driver’s No-Show, or Cancelation or if they cannot contact a Driver during the performance of their Gig.

Cancelation by Drivers

If a Driver needs or wants to cancel a Gig, please cancel the Gig as soon as possible. This will notify the Dasher and allow another Driver to accept the Gig. To cancel a Gig, tap Cancel on the Gig Details screen within the BaseBites App, or call Customer Support at 1-(470)-785-9787.

ACTIONS LEADING TO TEMPORARY LOCKS

AND/OR PERMANENT DEACTIVATION OF ACCOUNTS

Generally

Without limiting any other of its remedies at law or in equity, BaseBites may temporarily lock and/or permanently deactivate your BaseBites account and access to the Platform and eliminate your ability to offer to perform Delivery Services if:

you breach, are suspected of breaching, or are alleged to have breached these Terms or the Terms or any Driver or Dasher Agreement to which you are subject or any of BaseBites’ other terms or policies governing a User’s use of the Platform;

we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us;

we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our Users or BaseBites, its affiliates, or third party providers; we believe you may subject BaseBites or you or any other User to regulation by any state or local government or regulatory agency;

we suspect or it has been alleged that you have engaged in fraudulent, illegal or harmful activity in connection with your use or access of the BaseBites Platform or App, or in connection with your receiving or providing Delivery Services or you or your account is the subject of an investigation of alleged or suspected fraudulent, illegal or harmful activity; or

Prohibited Items are discovered in your Gig.

Other Actions Leading to Locked or Deactivated Accounts

Cancelations and No Shows: BaseBites may temporarily lock your account after your second Cancelation or No Show and may permanently deactivate your account upon your third Cancelation or No Show.

Negative Ratings: BaseBites may temporarily lock or permanently deactivate a Driver’s account if the Driver’s overall rating falls below 4-stars.

Claims for Damage, Loss or Theft of Items in Gigs By a Dasher or Recipient: BaseBites may temporarily lock a Dasher’s account upon receiving notice that items in your Gig are missing or damaged. The Dasher’s account will remained locked during the investigation of such claim. All Drivers and Dashers are liable for loss, theft or damage to items in a Gig caused by such Driver or Dasher and if either is found to be liable for the claim, BaseBites may permanently deactivate the account of the Driver or Dasher.

Claims for Damage, Loss or Theft of Items in Gigs By a Driver: BaseBites will temporarily lock a Driver’s account upon receiving notice that items in your Gig are missing or damaged. The Driver’s account will remained locked during the investigation of such claim. If a Driver is found to have caused the claim, BaseBites may permanently deactivate the Driver’s account.

Theft: Any Driver, Dasher or recipient who steals any items in a Gig will be permanently deactivated immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Inactive Accounts: BaseBites reserves the right to permanently deactivate any User’s account that has been “inactive” for 60 days or more. If a Driver has not offered on a Gig within the past 60 days, such Driver is deemed to be inactive.

Reactivation of Temporarily Locked Accounts: BaseBites may reactivate any Driver or Dasher whose account was temporarily locked, in its sole discretion.

Appeal Process

BaseBites may temporarily lock a User’s account while investigating any incident or action that could lead to BaseBites permanently deactivating the User’s account. The User’s account may be locked for such time as BaseBites determines is necessary to complete its investigation, in its sole discretion.

BaseBites does not make the decision to permanently deactivate a Driver’s account without a complete investigation. But we also understand that sometimes there may be extenuating circumstances of which BaseBites may not be aware. Therefore, in many instances we allow a Driver to appeal BaseBites’ decision to permanently deactivate their account.

Certain deactivation decisions, especially those related to zero tolerance violations, are not eligible for appeal. For example, we will not accept appeals for deactivation related to criminal activity while on the App, including fraud, theft or reckless driving. Likewise, we will not accept appeals related to harassment, verbal slurs or profanity directed to any individual, or physical or sexual altercations.

Otherwise the majority of deactivation decisions will be eligible for appeal. Because it is impossible to anticipate the full range of reasons that could result in the deactivation of a Driver’s account, ultimate determination of eligibility will be made by BaseBites on a case-by-case basis. A Driver will be allowed only one appeal. All appeal decisions made by BaseBites are final and not subject to further appeal.

You can find the full details of BaseBites’ appeal process in the email you received notifying you of the deactivation of your account. If you believe your deactivation is eligible for an appeal, please submit your appeal by following the instructions in your deactivation email.

Should you have any questions about the appeals process please email us at appeals@base-bites.com.

How do I file an Appeal?

Deactivated Accounts

If your account is permanently deactivated, your account information will be deleted and you will be removed from the BaseBites Platform. Permanent deactivation will cause you to lose your user name and persona as well as any privileges, badges or other earned items associated with your account. If your account was not deactivated for cause, you may open a new account on the Platform. It will be considered a material breach of these Terms if a User who has been deactivated for cause, opens a new account on the Platform and such new account will be deactivated without notice upon discovery. BaseBites is under no obligation to compensate any User for any losses as a result of a User’s deactivation.

ALL BaseBites ACTIONS TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE TEMPORARY LOCK

AND/OR PERMANENT DEACTIVATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE TAKEN IN BaseBites’ SOLE DISCRETION,

WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AND WITHOUT LIABILITY TO YOU.

Dashers will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Gig contracted for (the “Invoice”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the Gig provided to a Driver, (ii) reimbursement of tolls and parking fees incurred by Driver in connection with the Gig if such Dasher has agreed to reimburse for the same; and provided Driver submits the same in accordance with the below section “Reimbursement for Parking Fees and Tolls, (iii) any cancellation, no-show fee or wait fees, as may be applicable to the Gig, and (iv) any other fee BaseBites may assess for use of its Platform (combined, the “Gig Payment”). Unless otherwise agreed by BaseBites, any fees that BaseBites may charge a User for their use of the BaseBites Platform (including to receive or perform any Delivery Services), are due immediately and are non-refundable and this no refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your usage, our decision to terminate your usage, disruption caused to our Platform or the Delivery Services either planned, accidental or intentional, or any reason whatsoever. BaseBites reserves the right to determine final prevailing pricing and any pricing information published on the BaseBites Website may not reflect the current pricing.

Users of our Platform will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable) required to be paid because of the User’s use of or access to the BaseBites Platform, or receiving or performing any Delivery Services or on any Gig Payment received (other than taxes on the BaseBites’ income).

Payment, Withholding and Release

If chosen, a Driver is solely responsible for completing delivery of the Gig as agreed upon BEFORE being paid. Within 24 hours after a Dasher receives confirmation through the Platform that their Driver has completed the Gig, the Dasher will authorize BaseBites to provide the Dasher’s payment details to the PSP for processing of Gig Payment. BaseBites, in its sole discretion, may place a hold on a Driver’s Gig Payment if the delivery of the Gig is not provided expressly in accordance with the Dasher’s directions set forth in the request for Delivery Services, and these Terms, and/or BaseBites determines it otherwise necessary or advisable to place a hold on such Gig Payment, including without limitation if BaseBites has any suspicion or reason to believe that a Driver or Dasher has breached these Terms, including, without limitation by (1) a claim has been made under the BaseBites Protection Plan for loss, damage or theft to a Gig carried by Driver, (2) sending or accepting items on the Prohibited Item list; (3) establishing an account with BaseBites or entering into a Gig with the purpose of defrauding BaseBites or any other party; (4) using a stolen credit card or any other false information to establish an account with BaseBites or pay for a Gig; or (5) otherwise engaging in any questionable or fraudulent activity in connection with the performance of the Gig or access and/or use of the BaseBites Platform.

BaseBites will release the Gig Payment to a Driver upon establishing the validity of the accounts and Gigs under suspicion, in BaseBites’ sole but reasonable discretion.

BASEBITES WILL NOT RELEASE DASHER’S PAYMENT TO THE DRIVER UNTIL THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GIG IS COMPLETED BY THE DRIVER AS AGREED UPON HEREIN.

Reimbursement for Parking Fees and Tolls

Some Dashers reimburse a Driver’s for the cost of parking fees and tolls incurred while performing the Gig, but not all. If a Dasher has agreed to reimburse Drivers for parking fees and tolls, the Gig as posted in the Platform includes an indication that parking and tolls will be reimbursed and provides the Driver a place to enter their receipts after completing the delivery. A Driver will be reimbursed for parking fees and tolls incurred and paid for by Driver while performing a Gig ONLY if the Driver presents their receipts therefor (or other adequate evidence of incurring the same) within fifteen (15) days of incurring the expense.

Driver Teams and Driver Personnel

There is only one Invoice and Gig Payment per Gig. If Drivers are in a Driver Teams, or if the Driver uses Driver Personnel to provide Delivery Services on his/her/its behalf, the Driver account assigned the Gig will receive the entire Gig Payment and it is the responsibility of the Driver receiving payment to divide among Team members and/or pay its Personnel. Once the Gig Payment is released to the assigned Driver account, BaseBites will have no further liability or responsibility to any Driver, member of a Driver Team, or Driver Personnel for any payment connected to such Gig.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances may a Driver be accompanied by (1) a minor; (2) any unnecessary/non-essential person, including any Driver Team member or Driver Personnel if not needed for the specific Delivery Services being provided; and (3) any other person (including Driver Personnel) while performing any Delivery Services containing prescription medicine or pharmaceuticals.

Service Dogs

Drivers are not to have animals in their delivery vehicle, including Service Dogs unless such Service Dog is necessary to the Driver’s performance of Delivery Services. If a Driver must have a Service Dog present, all Gig items must be kept in a separate container that provides protection from pet hair and dander. In no event shall a Driver with a Service Dog offer to provide Delivery Services for Gigs containing food and food related items, clothing or unpackaged items. Drivers should note that Service Dogs may cause complaints from Dashers and or Gig recipients and such complaints may lead to the deactivation of the Driver’s account.
