You hereby guarantee to provide Transportation Services in accordance with the General Terms, Agreement as well as laws and regulations applicable in the state or place where you are providing Transportation Services. Please note that you are fully liable for any violation of any local laws and regulations as may arise from providing Transportation Services.

4.2. You must have all applicable licences (including a valid driver’s licence), permits, car insurance, liability insurance (if applicable), registrations, certifications and other documentation that are required in the applicable jurisdiction for providing the Transportation Services. It is your obligation to maintain the validity of all aforementioned documentation. Bolt reserves the right to require you to present evidence and submit for review all the necessary licences, permits, approvals, authority, registrations and certifications. In case where it is required by applicable laws or any authority will submit a valid request to us to provide information regarding the activities of you relating to the provision of your Transportation Services, we may make available to the authority the information regarding the activities of you to the extent required by applicable laws. Additionally, it is your obligation to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations that may apply in connection with the provision of Transportation Services.

4.3. You must provide the Transportation Services in a professional manner in accordance with the business ethics applicable to providing such services and endeavour to perform the Passenger's request in the best interest of the Passenger. Among else, you (i) must take the route least costly for the Passenger, unless the Passenger explicitly requests otherwise; (ii) may not make any unauthorised stops; (iii) may not have any other passengers in the vehicle other than the Passenger and the passengers accompanying the Passenger; and (iv) must adhere to any applicable traffic acts and regulations, i.e must not conduct any actions that may disrupt driving or the perception of traffic conditions, including holding a phone in his/her hand while the vehicle is moving.

4.4. You retain the sole right to determine when you are providing the Transportation Services. You shall accept, decline or ignore Transportation Services requests made by Passengers at your own choosing.

4.5. Costs you incur while providing the Transportation Services. You are obliged to provide and maintain all equipment and means that are necessary to perform the Transportation Services at your own expense, including a car, smartphone, etc. You are also responsible for paying all costs you incur in the course of performing the Transportation Services including, but not limited to, fuel, mobile data plan costs, duty fees, amortisation of the vehicle, insurance, relevant corporate or payroll taxes etc. Please bear in mind that using the Bolt App may bring about consummation of large amount of data on your mobile data plan. Thus, we suggest you to subscribe for a data plan with unlimited or very high data usage capacity.

4.6. Fares. You are entitled to charge a fare for each instance you have accepted a Passenger on the Bolt Platform and completed the Transportation Service as requested (i.e. Fare). The Fare is calculated based on a default base fare, the distance of the specific journey as determined by the GPS-based device and the duration of the specific travel. The default base fare may fluctuate based on the local market situation and local regulation. In markets with In-app payment, you may negotiate the Fare by sending us a pertinent request that has been either signed digitally or by hand. Additionally, you shall always have the right to charge the Passenger less than the Fare indicated by the Bolt App. However, charging the Passenger less than the Bolt App indicates, does not decrease the Bolt Fee.

4.7. Upfront Fare. A Passenger may be offered to use a ride option that allows the Passenger to agree to a fixed Fare for a given instance of Transportation Service provided by you (i.e Upfront Fare). Upfront Fare is communicated via the Bolt App to a Passenger before the ride is requested, and to you when the ride is accepted or at the end of the ride. The Fare calculated in accordance with section 4.6 shall be applied instead of Upfront Fare if the Passenger changes the destination during the ride, the ride takes materially longer than estimated due to traffic or other factors, or when other unexpected circumstances impact the characteristics of the ride materially (e.g a route is used where tolls apply).

4.8. In markets with In-app payment, if you find that there has been an error in the calculation of the Fare and wish to make corrections in the calculation of the Fare, you must submit a petition in the section „Fare Review“ of the Bolt App. If a petition in the section „Fare Review“ of the Bolt App has not been submitted, then Bolt shall not recalculate the Fare or reimburse you for an error made in the calculation of the Fare. This option is not applicable in markets with only cash payment.

4.9. Bolt may adjust the Fare for a particular order completed, if we detect a violation (such as taking a longer route or not stopping the fare meter of the Bolt App after the Transportation Services have been completed) or in case a technical error affecting the final fare is identified. Bolt may also reduce or cancel the fare in case we have reasonable cause to suspect a fraud or a complaint by the Passenger indicates a violation by you. Bolt will only exercise its right to reduce or cancel the fare in a reasonable and justified manner.

4.10. Passenger may have the option to pay the fare for the Transportation Services either directly to you or via the In-app Payment, in markets where this option is available, as described in section 6 of these General Terms. In case the Passenger pays the Fare directly, it is your obligation to collect the Fare. In case the Passenger fails or refuses to pay, Bolt will send a notice of debt to the Passenger on behalf of you. Such authorisation derives from the mandate of paying agent given to Bolt and does not entail that Bolt has an obligation to compensate the Fare not paid by the Passenger. If the passengers in the vehicle do not agree to pay the Fare for the provision of Transportation Service, the Fare will be paid by the Passenger who has ordered the provision of Transportation Service. If Passenger justifiably refuses to pay the Fare on the account that your information stated in the Bolt App is incorrect, then Bolt will not reimburse you for such expenses.

4.11 Tips. In some markets Passenger may be given the option to tip you after a successful provision of Transportation Services. The Passenger can Tip you only by means authorised by Bolt for Tipping. The Tip will not affect the amount of Bolt Fees and Bolt will not collect a commission on the Tip paid by the Passenger. You are obliged to fully comply with any tax obligations arising from the Tipping. We may limit the maximum value of a Tip at our sole discretion.

4.12. Receipts. After each successful provision of Transportation Services, Bolt shall create and forward a receipt to the Passenger consisting of some or all of the following information: the company’s business name, place of business, the first name and surname of the Driver, a photo of the Driver, service licence number (if applicable), the registration number of the vehicle, the date-, the time-, the start and end locations-, the duration and length-, the Fare and the Fare and Tip paid for the provision of the Transportation Services. The receipt of each provision of Transportation Services is available to you via the Bolt Driver Account.

4.13. Cancellation fee & wait time fee. Passenger may cancel a request for Transportation Services that a Driver has accepted via the Bolt App. In some markets, Driver may be entitled to the Fare for cancelled Transportation Services (Cancellation Fee) in the event that a Passenger cancels accepted request for Transportation Services after certain time period determined by Bolt App.

4.14. If, in the course of the provision of the Transportation Services, a Passenger or its co-passengers negligently damage the vehicle or its furnishing (among else, by blemishing or staining the vehicle or causing the vehicle to stink), you shall have the right to request the Passenger to pay a penalty up to THB 1800 and request compensation for any damages exceeding the penalty. If the Passenger does not consent to paying the penalty and/or compensating the damage, you must notify us and we will then try to collect penalty and/or relevant costs on the your behalf from the Passenger. However, bear in mind that we are not taking any liability for direct or indirect damages in relation to cleaning or maintenance of the vehicle caused by Passenger.

4.15. Your tax obligations. You hereby acknowledges that you are obliged to fully comply with all tax obligations that arise to you from the applicable laws in relation to providing the Transportation Services, including (i) paying income tax, social security tax, reporting, and paying the withholding tax on drivers’ commission to the relevant authorities in Thailand and providing the withholding tax certificates to Bolt after the payment as well payingany other tax applicable; and (ii) fulfilling all employee and tax registration obligations for calculations in regard to accounting and transfers to applicable State authorities as required by the applicable law.

Additionally, it is your obligation to adhere to all applicable tax regulations that may apply in connection with the provision of Transportation Services. You hereby agree to compensate Bolt all state fees, claims, payments, fines or other tax obligations that Bolt will incur in connection with the obligations arising from applicable tax regulations not having been met by you (including paying the income tax and social tax).

4.16. The Driver’s authorisation to issue invoices. Bolt has a right to issue an invoice on your behalf to the Passenger in order to compensate you any Fares, contractual penalties or other fees that Bolt mediates to you. In markets where Bolt issues invoices, the invoice will be made available to you via the Bolt Driver Account.

5.1. In order to use the Bolt Services, you are obliged to pay to a fee (i.e. the Bolt Fee). The Bolt Fee is paid based on the Fare of each Transportation Service order that you have completed. The amount of the Bolt Fee is made available to you via email, Bolt App, Bolt Driver Account or other pertinent means.
