Consistencies of the Service
Trips:
When a driver offers a trip, they must include the origin, destination, date, time, number of seats available, and any other pertinent information. Drivers can be contacted by passengers to make reservations for seats.
Communication between members is made possible through a messaging service offered by GoMyWay Canada. While private communications are just between the driver and the passenger, public messages are seen by all users.
Bookings :
Travelers can reserve tickets using an online credit card. Depending on the system selected, drivers can choose to manually approve or automatically accept reservations.
Currency and Payments:
Stripe's secure online payment solution is used to handle all payments in Canadian Dollars (USD).
Booking Fee:
On each reservation made through the platform, GoMyWay Canada charges a booking fee. During the booking procedure, the cost is added to the trip contribution and paid by the passenger.
Interests :
If payments or contributions made through the Service's booking service are not made on time, interest may eventually accumulate. Members agree not to claim any interest that has accumulated on any unpaid amounts, unless in rare circumstances.
Identity theft and fraud
Members consent to work with "GoMyWay Canada," banks, or other governmental or non-governmental organizations to stop fraud and money laundering. This includes making available legitimate identification upon request. If such demands are complied with, the Service may allow access to the Service and/or freeze due money for trips or reservations made via the Service.
To be paid to the driver
Drivers must supply their banking information, including their car plate number reference code, for payment processing. A bank account is the only supported payout method for making payouts to drivers on "GoMyWay Canada." Only Canadian bank accounts in USD are processed for bank account disbursements. Payments issued to improper bank accounts cannot be reversed, and "GoMyWay Canada" disclaims responsibility for inaccurate bank account information given by drivers. For security reasons and to stop fraud, further verifications—including identification verification—might be needed.
Payment Procedure
The passenger's money passes through a 24-hour clearance process after the trip. The payment is cleared the next day after this time has ended, and there are no issues. The driver can then get the contribution share of the amount as a Payout after deducting the booking charge. For the Payout to be executed, the driver's "GoMyWay Canada" account must have a working Payout Method configured. Drivers receive payouts once a day. The Payout is forfeited, and the money belongs to "GoMyWay Canada" if a legitimate Payout Method isn't recorded within four weeks of the trip's completion.
Conditions for Payment to the Driver:
1. Five (5) minutes before the pick-up time, arrive at the location.
2. Before leaving, let authorised passengers know of any changes to the itinerary.
3. Up to 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time, wait for passengers and phone those that have not arrived before departing.
4. Drive people safely to the specified destination.
5. Not without "GoMyWay Canada's express consent, run a for-profit, commercial business.
6. If these requirements are not met, "GoMyWay Canada" retains the right to issue a refund to a passenger and/or to terminate the driver's account.
