2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Kangaride facilitates the pairing of passengers and drivers wanting to rideshare mostly within, but not limited to, Canada and the United States. The services offered by Kangaride are accessible online at Kangaride's website or by calling Kangaride's Customer Support line.
The driver membership allows you to post rides, that is, to post an itinerary inviting potential passengers to rideshare with you in exchange for a contribution for gas and benefit from Kangaride's pairing service. The driver membership lasts for a full calendar year. You can post a ride either by calling our customer support or by using our website, both enabling you to benefit from the exposure to Kangaride's community of ridesharers and potential passengers.
The passenger membership allows you to reserve and book a seat in the available rides posted by our driver members for $5,50 per seat, for a full calendar year. You can book a seat by calling Kangaride's customer support or by going online to Kangaride's website.
Pairing passengers and drivers : the information provided in the ride postings are not sufficient for passengers to communicate directly with the drivers. Passengers must first book one or more seats, depending on availability, and only then are they provided with (i) the details of the meeting place, (ii) the driver's identity, and the (iii) the details of the vehicle ( model, make, color, license plate). Once the seat is booked, either by phone or online, the driver will also be able to know the identity of the passenger(s) by calling Kangaride's customer support or by going online. Email addresses and phone numbers are kept confidential unless explicitly requested by the member concerned.
All potential new features released or updates to the services described above, or any services launched in the future will be also subject to these Terms and Conditions.

Kangaride is committed to handling within reasonable time any breach of the Charter of Responsibilities for Members that is brought to its attention.

6.5 Good Faith Clause
All participants in a rideshare have the responsibility to ensure that the ride goes as smoothly as possible. A good-faith approach and adherence to the values of Kangaride are required from all members, even if another member infringes on the terms of service. These values are: collaboration, care, and commitment to excellence.
For example:
A passenger doesn't have the exact change to pay for the ride. She has a $20 bill instead of the $15 required.
Kangaride recommends that all passengers have exact change on them to pay their driver. However, in accordance with the values of our organization, all those occupying the vehicle (including the driver) are encouraged to make change among themselves if possible so that the payment can take place.
A passenger calls Kangaride outside of our hours of operation to cancel a booking.
If the departure is imminent (the next morning, for example), we encourage the passenger to inform the driver directly of the cancellation, by phone or by email. As a rule, the administrators inform drivers of cancellations by their passengers. However, if the cancellation occurs outside of our opening hours, it is sometimes not possible for us to let the driver know before the departure time. In these cases, the collaboration of the passengers who must cancel is encouraged.
