Bringme Srl Società Benefit (hereinafter “Jojob”) has developed a carpooling platform in the form of a mobile application, designed to connect drivers traveling to a specific destination with passengers going in the same direction, in order to allow them to share the trip and possibly the related costs (hereinafter, the “Platform”).
These general terms of use are intended to govern access to and use of the Platform. Please read them carefully. The User acknowledges and agrees that Jojob is not a party to any agreement, contract, or contractual relationship of any kind entered into between Users of its Platform.
By registering on the Platform, the User acknowledges having read and accepted all these general terms of use.
The Platform may be used by individuals aged 18 years or older. Registration on the Platform by a minor is strictly prohibited. By accessing, using, or registering on the Platform, the User represents and warrants that they are at least 18 years old.
For all content of any kind posted on the Platform, including their profile picture, the User acknowledges that they are solely responsible. Accordingly, the User represents and warrants the accuracy and truthfulness of all published information and agrees to keep it updated, particularly regarding the availability of their Routes and the accuracy of information related to registered Vehicles.
The User agrees to use the Services and the Platform solely for the purpose of connecting, on a non-commercial and non-business basis, with people who wish to share a Carpooling Route.
As a Driver, the User agrees not to request a Contribution to expenses exceeding the actual costs incurred that could generate a profit. The User is solely responsible for calculating the costs incurred for the Carpooling Trip and for ensuring that the amount requested from Passengers does not exceed the actual costs incurred (excluding the portion of costs borne by the User).
Jojob reserves the right to suspend the Account if the User uses a chauffeur-driven vehicle or other commercial vehicle or taxi, or a company car, and thereby generates a profit from the Platform. The User agrees to provide Jojob, upon simple request, with a copy of the vehicle registration certificate and/or any other document showing that the User is authorized to use this vehicle on the Platform and is not deriving any profit from it.
Jojob also reserves the right to suspend the Account, limit access to the Services, or terminate these General Terms of Use in the event of User activity on the Platform that, due to the nature of the trips offered, their frequency, the number of Passengers transported, and the Contribution to expenses requested, results in a profit situation for the User or for any reason suggests to Jojob that the User is generating a profit on the Platform.
When using the Platform as a Driver, the User agrees to:
(i) comply with all laws, regulations, and codes applicable to driving and the vehicle, in particular to hold valid liability insurance at the time of the Carpooling Trip and to possess a valid driver’s license;
(ii) ensure that the insurance also covers the Passengers being transported;

(viii) ensure they can be contacted by the Driver via the phone number registered on their profile, including at the meeting point.
The User may terminate their contractual relationship with Jojob at any time, free of charge and without providing any reason. To do so, it is sufficient to use the appropriate feature available in the user profile within the application.
In the event of (i) a breach of these General Terms of Use or (ii) if Jojob has a legitimate reason to believe it is necessary to protect its safety and integrity, that of Users or third parties, or for the purposes of preventing fraud or investigations, Jojob reserves the right to:
(i) terminate the General Terms of Use binding the User to Jojob immediately and without notice; and/or
(ii) prevent the publication or remove any feedback, Ride Offer/Request, or any content posted by the User on the Platform; and/or
(iii) limit the User’s access to and use of the Platform; and/or
(iv) temporarily or permanently suspend the account;
(v) request reimbursement for any incentives obtained improperly, and where possible, Jojob is authorized to make a direct deduction from the User’s Cashback balance up to the amount obtained improperly.
When necessary, the User will be informed of the application of such measures to allow them to provide explanations to Jojob. Jojob will decide, at its sole discretion, whether to remove the measures applied.

The Platform constitutes an online network where Users can create and publish Carpooling Announcements for shared Trips.

Users (Drivers or Passengers) act under their exclusive and full responsibility.
As an intermediary, Jojob cannot be held responsible in any way for the actual occurrence of a Trip.
Jojob will make every effort to keep the Platform accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, access to the Platform may be temporarily suspended without notice due to technical maintenance, migration, or updates, or because of interruptions or limitations related to network operation.
