Terms & Conditions of Carriage and Website Use

(Effective 1 June 2025)

Read carefully. By booking, paying for, accessing, or using any Chauffeuropolis service or website you agree to every clause below.

1 ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

A binding contract is formed when Chauffeuropolis Inc. (“CP” or “we”) issues a booking confirmation or when you access https://chauffeuropolis.com (the “Site”). If you do not accept these Terms, do not use our service or Site.

2 DEFINITIONS

Consumer Rider – an individual booking principally for personal, family or household purposes.

Business Rider – any party booking on behalf of a business, government, or other organisation.

Remote Agreement – a contract concluded solely by email, phone, web form or other electronic means, as defined in Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (the “CPA”).

Content – all text, graphics, logos, photos, audio, video, code and data on the Site.

3 BOOKING & CONTRACT FORMATION

3.1 Quotes are non binding until payment details are provided and CP issues written confirmation.

3.2 You must supply accurate pick up/drop off details, passenger numbers, luggage volume and special requirements at the time of booking. We reserve the right to refuse carriage where information is materially inaccurate or incomplete.

3.3 Changes requested <24 h before pick up are treated as new bookings and subject to availability.

4 STATUTORY RIGHT TO CANCEL (REMOTE AGREEMENTS)

4.1 Consumer Riders who enter into a Remote Agreement may cancel within ten (10) days of receiving the confirmation and obtain a full refund, per CPA s.26.

4.2 If service is booked to occur within that 10 day window you expressly waive the cooling off right to the extent permitted by law and will owe the prorated portion already performed.

5 SERVICE DELIVERY & WAITING TIME

5.1 Vehicles aim to arrive at or shortly before the scheduled pick up time. Traffic, weather, security and Force Majeure events can delay arrival.

5.2 First 15 min of waiting for city pick ups (45 min for airport arrivals) are included. Thereafter, waiting time is billed in 15 min increments at the prevailing hourly rate for the booked vehicle class.

6 FEES, CHARGES & PAYMENT

6.1 Fares shown include driver, fuel, tolls and standard parking. Premium parking, additional stops, detours, cleaning fees and damage repair are extra.

6.2 All amounts are due in full at the earlier of (a) booking confirmation or (b) completion of service, unless CP has approved credit in writing.

6.3 Overdue balances accrue interest at 1.5 % per month (18 % per annum) compounded monthly.

7 CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS

7.1 You must be ready to depart at the agreed time, behave lawfully, wear seatbelts, and ensure minors use legally compliant child restraints.

7.2 No smoking, vaping, open alcohol, weapons or illicit substances are permitted in any CP vehicle.

7.3 You are liable for any damage beyond normal wear caused by you or your party, including soilage requiring professional cleaning.

8 LIABILITY & RISK ALLOCATION

8.1 Personal Injury

CP maintains commercial automobile liability insurance at or above the statutory minimum required for licensed passenger carrying vehicles in every jurisdiction where we operate. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or bodily injury caused by our negligence where such limitation is prohibited by law.

8.2 Property Property

For loss or damage to luggage and personal effects CP’s aggregate liability is limited to CAD $500 per passenger unless a higher value is declared in advance and a surcharge paid.

8.3 Consequential Loss

We are not liable for indirect, special or consequential damages (including missed flights, hotels or business losses) except to the extent such exclusion is unlawful for Consumer Riders.

8.4 Caps

Subject to 8.1, CP’s total cumulative liability arising out of any booking shall not exceed the total fare paid for that booking.

From this point forward the prose intentionally shifts to the driest, boiler plate legal style imaginable. Bunker mode engaged.

9 INDEMNITY

The Rider shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CP, its affiliates, officers, employees and drivers from and against every claim, demand, loss, cost and liability (including legal fees on a full indemnity basis) arising out of (a) Rider’s breach of these Terms; (b) Rider’s negligent, wilful or unlawful acts or omissions; or (c) injury or damage caused to third parties or property by Rider’s luggage or conduct.

10 DELAY, MISSED FLIGHTS & NO SHOWS

10.1 CP is not responsible for flight changes or delays outside its control. Where accurate flight information is provided at least 4 h in advance, CP will adjust the pick up to the published actual arrival time where feasible.

10.2 A booking is deemed a no show if the passenger fails to present within the included waiting time and cannot be reached. The full fare plus waiting time is then payable.

11 FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control including but not limited to acts of God, extreme weather, epidemics, war, riot, governmental order, or labour disputes. Where service becomes impossible, prepaid fares are refunded less any non recoverable charges actually incurred.

12 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1 Internal Escalation: Notify CP Customer Care (legal@chauffeuropolis.com) in writing of any dispute within 30 days. We aim to respond within 10 business days.

12.2 Consumer Riders: You may commence an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice despite any arbitration language herein, per CPA ss.7–8.

12.3 Business Riders: Disputes exceeding CAD $25 000 shall be finally resolved by confidential arbitration under the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario). Seat: Toronto. Language: English. Each party bears its own costs.

13 AMENDMENTS

CP may amend these Terms by providing 30 days’ written notice to the email on file. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you object, you may cancel any future booking without penalty before the amendment takes effect.

14 LICENSING & COMPLIANCE

CP operates under the applicable municipal limousine licences for every jurisdiction in which it provides service. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to contravene any local by law; to the extent of inconsistency, the by law prevails.
