The Driver is responsible for any damage or third‑party claims arising from negligence, misuse, or violation of laws or licence conditions.
Company reserves the right to request proof of insurance or other documentation at any time.
The Driver agrees that the Platform may collect, store and use data related to rides, trips, payments, driver identity, vehicle registration, and other relevant information as required to provide the service, comply with law, and for safety and auditing purposes.
The Driver must keep their records (income, expenses, maintenance, insurance, etc.) accurate and updated — especially for regulatory compliance or tax reporting.
Company may suspend or terminate a Driver’s access to the Platform immediately if:
Driver fails to comply with licence, registration, insurance, or safety obligations.

Or for any other serious breach of these Terms.
Upon termination, Driver must immediately stop accepting trips via Platform, and any pending payments or balances will be subject to Company’s Settlement Policy.
Company may modify or update these Terms at any time.
Drivers will be notified of changes via the App or other communication channels.
Continued use of Platform by Driver after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Western Australia.
Any dispute arising from or related to this Agreement will be resolved in courts of WA, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
This is a template — you should adapt it depending on the exact services you provide (ride‑sharing only, or ride + delivery, number of passengers, vehicle types, additional services).
Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements in WA: licencing, insurance, safety standards, driver/vehicle accreditation under on‑demand transport regulations. Sprintlaw+2DoT Transport Website+2
Consider adding more detailed policies for cancellation/no‑show, waiting time, fare adjustments, surge pricing, passenger conduct, child seats (if relevant), data privacy, dispute resolution, and platform-specific rules.
It’s highly advisable to have a qualified legal professional review this before making it binding.
