TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: 18 November 2024

​

Sway Mobility Inc. (“Sway” or “We” or “Us”) helps people get to where they’re going. We call this mobility services and you have to agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”) in order to use the services, including our vehicles, website, and apps. Please read this carefully as you are agreeing to a legal contract between you and Sway (and our affiliates and licensees) by using the services.

​

1.0 Who We Are

Sway provides the mobility services to you directly or through partners, who may be affiliates or licensees. These Terms apply regardless of whether Sway or an affiliate or licensee is providing the services. Our affiliates and licensees are included when we refer to Sway, We or Us.

​

2.0 Mobility Services

We provide access to shared vehicles, typically referred to as car sharing or car share. These vehicles are operated and maintained by Us and are accessed by you through an app. Some services may also be available through a website. Only drivers that have agreed to these Terms can access the vehicles by becoming Members.

​

You can use the services for your individual use under a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license. You have no other rights in the service nor may you modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit the service in any manner.

​

2.1 Our vehicles (“Vehicle” or “Vehicles”) are shared by Members of the community, so please care for them like you would your own (or better yet, like your friend’s). If you do not return the Vehicle to its designated spot, leave it dirty, or damage it you will be charged according to the Fee Schedule. There are other reasons we may charge you a fee - for example all of our Vehicles are smoke-free - so please review the Fee Schedule.

​

2.2 Your rental period will begin when you check in and end when you confirm you’re done and have met the necessary return requirements.

 

2.2.1 You are responsible for the condition of the Vehicle from the beginning of your rental, so please use the tools in Our app to document any damage to the Vehicle prior to your rental period.

​

2.2.2 If you cancel a reservation you may be charged a fee.

​

2.3 All of our Vehicles are electric, so you must connect the Vehicle to the EV Charger to end your rental period. We’ll remind you of this in the app, but it is your responsibility to connect, or plug in, the Vehicle.

​

2.3.1 The Vehicle must be returned to the space where you picked it up (or to another space that is designated as a Sway space if directed by Us).

​

2.3.2 We may end your rental period remotely if we attempt to contact you and you are unresponsive.

​

2.4 The estimated fee for renting the Vehicle is displayed on the reservation page in the app. There are both time-based and mileage-based fees, so if you exceed the miles included with the time period you reserved there may be additional costs. You agree to pay this fee (plus any applicable sales or use or other taxes) for each rental increment period until you end the rental period. You will receive a summary of the total charges for your rental through the app.

 

2.4.1 You may request clarification or dispute a charge for up to 14 days from the end of your rental period.

​​

2.4.2 If you request a refund and We agree to issue the refund, we may deduct a fee from the refund for administrative and merchant servicing fee costs.

​

2.4.3 Our payment processor will pre-authorize the estimated amount of your booking plus $10 for potential incidentals prior to to the scheduled start of your booking. If this pre-authorization fails your booking will automatically be cancelled. Only the actual amount of your booking will be processed for payment, but the pre-authorization may take time to be removed from your payment account as your bank or credit card company determines the process for removing a pre-authorization. Please check with your bank or credit card company for their policies. We will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred as a result of your booking being cancelled due to a pre-authorization issue.

​

2.4.4 You may be charged for the amount of time you reserve ("pay as booked") if the actual booking time is less than the reserved time. This policy is to dissuade drivers from making long bookings they do not intend to keep as this prevents the availability of the vehicles for other drivers and conflicts with fair use.

​​

2.5 You must always follow the law and best practices for safe driving. If the Vehicle is damaged during your rental period you must inform us as soon as it is safe to do so. You also agree to cooperate with Us and our insurance provider including requesting police reports or other requested documentation. You agree to pay any violation fee or ticket as a result of your use of the Vehicle and will not challenge any violation or ticket.

​

2.5.1 You agree to not exceed the speed limit and exceeding the speed limit, regardless of circumstance, will result in a fee.

​

2.5.2 Best practices include no hard acceleration, hard braking, or other behavior that accelerates the wear and tear of the vehicle or discharges the battery faster than it would under normal driving behavior.

​

2.5.3 Failure to do so will result in a fine and potential suspension or termination of your participation as a Member.

​

2.6 You must always park the Vehicle in a legal parking space. If this is not the space where you picked up the car, you are responsible for any parking charges, tickets, or other fees, which you will not challenge. You will also pay any tolls or use fees as a result of your chosen route. We will charge you a fee (please see the Fee Schedule) in addition to the cost of any charges that are unpaid by you.

 

2.7 Your rental includes 25 miles per hour of rental after which you will be charged per mile per the Fee Schedule. These miles are cumulative, so - for example - if you rent for four hours you will have 100 miles of driving that can occur any time during that four hour period. Distance is calculated in kilometers in our systems and converted to miles and you agree to accept the conversions in our systems for purposes of billing.

 

2.7.1 It is your responsibility to ensure that the Vehicle has enough range for your trip. You may connect the Vehicle to properly installed, UL-certified EV chargers to increase the range. If the Vehicle is inoperable due to depleted batteries you are responsible for the costs to return the Vehicle to an EV Charger and any damages that result.

​

2.8 You must have an authorized and accepted form of payment to become a Member. We will bill this form of payment or debit any credits you have on your account, for the use of the services. You authorize Us to charge you for any fees, expenses, damages, deductibles, or other charges that are your responsibility under these Terms, including fees to become a Member.

​

2.8.1 If your payment is rejected by your payment method or you become delinquent, we can suspend your Membership and refer the outstanding amount to a collection agency. Any fees or legal costs are your responsibility and we may take legal action to collect any unpaid balance.

​

2.8.2 We pre-authorize the expected amount of the booking and if this pre-authorization fails you will not be able to access your booking. If you are using a debit card this pre-authorized amount may be withdrawn by your financial institution, but we process the final amount upon completion of your booking.

​

2.9 You must use Our app to apply to become a Member. This includes having a valid driver's license (with at least 6 months of remaining validity) issued from a U.S. state and meeting Our requirements, which we reserve sole discretion over. Licenses issued by some non-U.S. entities such as Canadian provinces may be acceptable at Our sole discretion.

 

2.9.1 These requirements may change over time and your Membership may be rescinded at any time.

​

2.9.2 We reserve the right to accept or deny approval for any reason and we are not obligated to share those reasons with you. You authorize us to request a motor vehicle record check from a third party or the government agency that issued your license, review your driving record, and validate your payment method. We may repeat these inquiries at any time during your Membership.

​

2.9.3 If you are age 18 to 22, you must have two or more years of unrestricted driving history with no infractions on your Motor Vehicle Record.

​

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES INCURRED OR SUSTAINED BY, OR IMPOSED UPON, US BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, WITH RESPECT TO, OR BY REASON OF YOUR CRIMINAL, WILLFUL, OR GROSSLY NEGLIGENT ACTION OR OMISSION IN THE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.

​

8.0 We May Disagree

These Terms contain dispute resolution and arbitration provisions, including a class action waiver, that affect your rights. You may have the right to opt out of certain provisions. 

 

Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.

 

This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Us. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to You (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert

claims against Us in the same proceeding.

​

This Provision provides that all disputes between You and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of These Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

​

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the dispute which is first done by emailing to Us at support@swaymobility.com the following information: (1)your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If We do not resolve the dispute within 45 days after receiving your notification, than you may pursue your dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

 

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out 

Notwithstanding the above, Your or We may choose to pursue a dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this provision by emailing Us at support@swaymobility.com the following information: (1) your name; (2) your address; (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

​

Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or We may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this provision. 

 

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS

Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

 

Because the Services and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

 

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

​

Location of Arbitration – You or We may initiate arbitration in either Cleveland, OH or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. In the event that you select the latter, We may transfer the arbitration to Cleveland, OH so long as We agree to pay any additional fees or costs

which the arbitrator determines you incur as a result of the transfer.

​

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, We will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, you will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in

good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

​

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and We specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as

specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out

requirements above.

​

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, you and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

​

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.

​

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of your account with Us or Our affiliates or licensees and your discontinued use of the service. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the language in this provision if a dispute between Us arises.

​

9.0 General

Certain violations of these Terms, as determined solely by Us, may require immediate termination of your access to the service without prior notice to You.
