Shebah Advanced Booking Service - Shebah offers an extension on the Shebah Service which is titled “Advanced Bookings”. Advanced Bookings gives Shebah riders the opportunity to book their trip in advance. The advanced bookings service means Shebah riders can book their trip anywhere from 90 minutes to 14 days in advance at the time of their choosing. Using the advanced booking feature means the rider will encour an additional $2.00AUD fee. A cancellation fee of $19.16 applies if an Advanced Bookings trip is cancelled within 1 hour of an advance booking. This is to cover the driver’s time and petrol spent heading to you.

Shebah Drop Service - Shebah offers an extension on the Shebah Service which is titled “Shebah Drops.” Shebah Drops is the option for users of the Shebah Service to request a driver to pick up an item(s) or supplies on the behalf of the user and deliver the item to the drop-off location for a flat rate of the minimum fare amount. The minimum fare amount varies from state to state starting at $11.66 ($11.00 as the base level charge and an additional $0.66 transaction fee) and may increase with other optional charges such as but not limited to:

Advanced Booking Feature - $2.00 charge direct to Shebah Pty Ltd
Preferred Driver Feature - $1.00 charge direct to Shebah Pty Ltd
Tolls

Users of the Shebah Drops extended service must:

Hold an active Shebah account
Be the owner of said account
Be 18+

In the event that a male passenger orders an item(s) to be dropped using the Shebah Drops service, the driver has the right to refuse that request.

Upon accepting the trip, Shebah Drivers will be required to take a photograph of the item(s) precured on behalf of the user and send said photograph to the user as proof of pick up. Drivers are also required to take a photograph of the item(s) precured on behalf of the user and send said photograph to the user at the point of drop-off as proof of drop-off.

Shebah Split Fare Service.

These terms and conditions exist in addition to the Shebah terms and conditions. Shebah’s terms and conditions govern all rides or ride requests.

To split a fare a rider must book an eligible ride. The split fare function must be carried out before the ride is complete or the fare will be fully deducted from the lead rider account. An Eligible Ride means a ride using the Shebah mobile application for riders (Shebah App’) requesting an advance booking or instant ride. All rides will be equally split between the number of riders the eligible ride has been shared with via the Shebah Rider App. Lead riders can split the fare with up to 3 Additional riders, splitting the cost of the trip up to 4 equal ways.

Lead rider is the Shebah rider who is the first person to book the Shebah ride. Additional riders are those whom the lead ride decides to share the ride with.

All riders must have a Shebah Rider account to utilize the split fare function. When the lead rider books a Shebah, the App will place a hold on the estimated fare cost to their account. In a circumstance where additional riders account balance do not exist, the lead rider will be charged the full amount of the trip.

Device and network usage – Shebah does not guarantee that the Service will function on any particular hardware or devices. The Service relies on your device and its network access and may be subject to limitations and delays inherent in the use of devices and electronic communications. HERE Maps functions (for example the speed notification function or the use of maps in general) are reliant on network access and location services and may be subject to limitations or delays depending on the use of device or network. Your mobile network’s data and messaging fees apply.

Breach and termination – If you use or attempt to use the Service in breach of any Term, Shebah may charge you a cancellation or breach charge as notified on the App or website, and may terminate your Account.

Text Messaging – By creating an Account, you agree that the Services may send you text (SMS) messages as part of the normal business operation of your use of the Services. You may opt-out of receiving text (SMS) messages from Shebah at any time by following the directions and/or prompts within the SMS. You acknowledge that opting out of receiving text (SMS) messages may impact your use of the Services.

Promotional Codes – Shebah may, in Shebah’s sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for Account credit, or other features or benefits related to the Services and/or a Third Party Provider’s services, subject to any additional terms that Shebah establishes on a per promotional code basis (“Coupons”). You agree that Coupons: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public form or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by Shebah; (iii) may be disabled by Shebah at any time for any reason without liability to Shebah; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that Shebah establishes for such a Coupon; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use. Shebah reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Coupons by you or any other user in the event that Shebah reasonably determines or believes that the use or redemption of the Coupon was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Coupon terms or these Terms.

User Provided Content – Shebah may, in Shebah’s sole discretion, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to Shebah through the Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions ("User Content"). Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to Shebah, you grant Shebah a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and Shebah’s business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Shebah the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Shebah’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by Shebah in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. Shebah may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Shebah’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.

CHARGES AND PAYMENT

Use of the Service will result in charges to you for transportation you arrange with Third Party Providers, as notified to you on the App or at the time of the transportation (Charges). After transportation has been arranged through your use of the Service, Shebah will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges to the Third Party Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Shebah.

Charges are due at the time you use the Service. Payment will be facilitated by Shebah using a payment method designated in your Account, after which Shebah will send you a receipt by email. You may cancel your request for transportation from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to the Third Party Provider’s arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.

Other charges, such as for waiting time or failing to use the transportation after the Third Party Provider has arrived, may be notified to you on the App or by the Third Party Provider. You agree that Shebah may charge all such Charges to your Account without need to notify you or obtain your consent.

Repair or Cleaning Fees – You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, Third Party Provider vehicles and property resulting from use of the Services under your Account in excess of normal "wear and tear" damages and necessary cleaning (“Repair or Cleaning”). In the event that a Third Party Provider reports the need for Repair or Cleaning, and such Repair or Cleaning request is verified by Shebah in Shebah’s reasonable discretion, Shebah reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the Third Party Provider using your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by Shebah to the applicable Third Party Provider and are non-refundable.

Tolls - Passenger fare will include tolls if the trip goes through a toll road.

State Levies - Passenger fares will also include a state levy fee per trip if a trip occurs in a state where Commercial Passenger Vehicle levies are mandatory.

Tipping - Upon the conclusion of a Shebah Trip (Ride or Drop) passengers have the option of tipping their driver if they so choose. Passengers will have the option of tipping their driver, $3, $5 or $10, which will be offered to them in a separate screen after they have completed their ride.Passengers also have the option of leaving a comment, positive or negative, for their driver at this point. Passengers will be charged an additional $0.66 transaction fee on top of their tip, meaning passengers will be charged $3.66, $5.66 or $10.66 if they choose to tip. Tipping is a completely voluntary action as is the decision of the passenger who holds the Shebah account. Passengers will also receive a secondary receipt from Shebah via email that details the amount charged to them if they choose to tip.

Drivers receive 100% of the tips they receive from passengers, excluding the additional $0.66 transaction fee riders pay on top of their tip. There is also an additional charge on tips taken by Stripe - Shebah’s third party payment company. Stripe fees are 1.38% plus GST of the amount. Therefore on a $3 tip the driver will receive $2.96. On a $5 tip the driver will receive $4.93 and on a $10 tip the driver will receive $9.85. This stripe charge goes direct to stripe and has nothing to do with Shebah.

Shebah is not responsible for passengers who tip accidentally or unintentionally. Shebah is not responsible for unaccompanied minors who tip without parental consent. Tips cannot be refunded to passengers.

Shebah for Workplace - All Shebah for workplace trips incur a $1 administration fee
