Any payment obligation made by the Passenger via the In-App Payment shall be considered fulfilled as of the time that the payment has been made.

If the Fleet Partner requests an In-App Payment review, Miles may transfer the amounts due after such review has been completed.. The Fleet Partner is entitled to review In-App Payment reports in the Miles Fleet Partner Account or the Miles Apps. The reports will show the amount of In-App Payments brokered in the previous week, as well as the withheld amounts relevant to the Miles Fees. 6.6. Miles is not obliged to pay Fleet Partners the Fare due from the Passenger if the In-App Payment failed because the Passenger's credit card or other payment is cancelled or is unsuccessful for other reasons. In such case, Miles will assist the Fleet Partner in requesting the Fare owed by the Passenger and Miles will transfer the relevant share of such Fare to the Fleet Partner once the Passenger has completed the requested payment. Before providing Transportation Services, the Fleet Partner / Driver must verify that the service is actually being provided to the right Passenger or the Passenger has expressly confirmed he/she allows other passengers to ride under the Passenger's account. If the Fleet Partner / Driver makes a mistake in identifying the Passenger, and the In-App Payment is charged to a person, who has not been provided or has not approved the Transportation Services for other passengers, then Miles shall reimburse the person for the Fare. In such case, the Fleet Partner / Driver is not entitled to receive its share of the Fare from Miles. Additionally, for every wrongfully applied In-App Payment, Miles shall be entitled to charge the Fleet Partner / Driver a penalty up to $50. 6.8. The Fleet Partner / Driver must notify Miles of any major circumstances that may affect Miles collection and distribution of the relevant share of the Fares paid through In-App Payment, as well as all those cases where the Fleet Partner / Driver is of the opinion that the respective funds were not duly received. 6.9. Please note that Miles will set off any Fares paid via In-App Payment against the amounts that the Fleet Partner / Driver is obliged to pay to Miles (i.e. Miles Fees and penalties). Miles may set off any of the Fleet Partner’s financial claims against financial claims that the Fleet Partner may have against Miles. 6.10 If Miles is not able to transfer the relevant share of the Fares to the Fleet Partner due to the Fleet Partner / Driver not including its bank account details in its Fleet Partner / Driver account or if the bank account details have been inserted incorrectly, then Miles will hold such payments for 90 days. If the Fleet Partner / Driver does not notify Miles of the correct bank account details within 90 days from the date that the right to claim such payments has been established, the Fleet Partners’s / Driver’s claim regarding the payment of the Fare not yet transferred shall expire. 7.1. Miles provides assistance to the Fleet Partners and Drivers regarding the use of Miles Services. Miles has the right to discontinue such services at any time or for any reason. 8.1 To ensure a high quality service and provide additional reassurance to Passengers, the Fleet Partner and Driver hereby acknowledge that the Passengers may provide you a rating and leave feedback on the quality of the Transportation Services provided. The average rating will be linked to the Miles Driver Account and will be made available to Passengers requesting Transportation Services. The Passenger is required to provide the reviews and comments to the best of their knowledge and belief, and if we, at our own discretion, find a rating or comment was not provided in good faith, such a rating or comment may not be projected in the calculation of the rating. 8.2. In addition to the rating, Miles measures the level of activity of the Fleet Partners and Drivers and provides relevant activity scores, which are based on accepting, declining, not responding and completing Transportation Service requests. 8.3. In order to provide reliable services to Passengers, we may determine a minimum average rating and a minimum activity score that all Fleet Partners / Drivers must establish and maintain. If, after a pertinent notification from us, a Fleet Partner / Driver does not increase its average rating or activity score to the minimum level within the prescribed time period, such Fleet Partner / Driver account will be automatically suspended either temporarily or permanently. Miles may reverse the suspension of the Driver / Fleet Partner account if it is merited by any external circumstances or it is detected that the suspension was caused by a system error or false ratings. 9.1. Market Overviews: Miles may send the Fleet Partner / Driver via the Miles Apps, Miles Driver Account, SMS, email or other means, market overviews, to increase its awareness of when the Passenger's needs are the highest. Please note that such market analysis are only recommendations and do not constitute any obligations for either party. As any market estimation provided is based on previous statistics, we cannot give any guarantees that the actual market situation will reflect the latter. 9.3. Campaigns for Passengers: Miles may occasionally arrange various campaigns to Passengers in order to promote the Miles Platform. If the Fare paid by the Passenger is reduced as part of such campaign, Miles will in most cases pay compensation equal to the monetary value of the benefits offered to the Passengers.
