5. Payment
You are entitled to charge a fare for each instance of completed Removalist Services provided to a Customer that are obtained via the Carryon platform ("Fare"), where such Fare is calculated based upon a base fare amount plus distance (as determined by Carryon using location-based services enabled through the Device) and/or time amounts. You hereby: (i) appoint Carryon as your limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Fare, applicable Tolls and, depending on the region and/or if requested by you, applicable taxes and fees from the Customer on behalf of you via the payment processing functionality facilitated; and (ii) agree that payment made by Customer to Carryon shall be considered the same as payment made directly by Customer to you. In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that as between you and Carryon, the Fare is a recommended amount, and the primary purpose of the pre-arranged Fare is to act as the default amount in the event you do not negotiate a different amount. You shall always have the right to: (i) charge a fare that is less than the pre-arranged Fare; or (ii) negotiate, at your request, a Fare that is lower than the pre-arranged Fare (each of (i) and (ii) herein, a "Negotiated Fare"). Carryon shall consider all such requests from you in good faith. Carryon agrees to remit to you on at least a weekly basis: (a) the Fare less the applicable Service Fee; (b) the Tolls; and (c) depending on the region, certain taxes and ancillary fees. If you have separately agreed, other amounts may be deducted from the Fare prior to remittance to you (e.g., vehicle financing payments, lease payments, mobile device usage charges, etc.), the order of those deductions from the Fare to be determined exclusively by Carryon.
Carryon reserves the right to change the Fare Calculation at any time in Carryon's discretion based upon local market factors, and Carryon will provide notice to you in the event of such change that would result in a change in the recommended Fare. Continued use of the Carryon Services after any such change in the Fare Calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.
Carryon and/or its affiliates in the Territory reserve the right to: (i) adjust the Fare for a particular instance of Removalist Services (e.g Removalist fails to properly end a particular instance of Removalist Services); or (ii) cancel the Fare for a particular instance of Removalist Services (e.g., a Customer is charged for Transportation Services that were not provided, in the event of a Customer's complaint, fraud, etc.). Carryon's decision to reduce or cancel the Fare in any such manner shall be exercised in a reasonable manner.
In consideration of Carryon's provision of the Carryon Services, you agree to pay Carryon a service fee on a per Removalist Services transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Fare (regardless of any Negotiated Fare), as provided to you via email or otherwise made available electronically by Carryon from time to time for the applicable Territory ("Service Fee"). Unless regulations applicable to your Territory require otherwise, taxes will be calculated and charged on the Fare, and Carryon shall calculate the Service Fee based on the Fare inclusive of such taxes. Carryon reserves the right to change the Service Fee at any time in Carryon's discretion based upon local market factors, and Carryon will provide notice to you in the event of such change. Continued use of the Carryon Services after any such change in the Service Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change. In addition, you agree to pay Carryon a booking fee in consideration of Carryon's provision of the App and the Carryon Services.
You acknowledge and agree that Customer may elect to cancel requests for Removalist Services that have been accepted by you at any time prior to your arrival. In the event that a Customer cancels an accepted request for Removalist Services, Carryon may charge the Customer a cancellation fee on behalf of your. If charged, this cancellation fee shall be deemed the Fare for the cancelled Transportation Services for the purpose of remittance to you hereunder ("Cancellation Fee"). The parties acknowledge that and agree that this Cancellation Fee is a recommended amount, and the primary purpose of such Cancellation Fee is to act as the default amount in the event you do not negotiate a different amount.
As part of the Carryon Services, Carryon provides you a system for the delivery of receipts to Customer for Transportation Services rendered. Upon the completion of Removalist Services for a Customer by a Removalist, Carryon prepares an applicable receipt and issues such receipt to the Customer via email on behalf of the Removalist. Such receipts are also provided via email or the online portal available to you on the Carryon Services. Receipts include the breakdown of amounts charged to the Customer for Removalist Services and may include specific information about the Removalist.
You acknowledge and agree that, for the mutual benefit of the parties, through advertising and marketing, Carryon may seek to attract new Customers to Carryon and to increase existing Customer's use of Carryon's mobile application. You acknowledge and agree such advertising or marketing does not entitle you to any additional monetary amounts beyond the amounts expressly set forth in this Agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that you are required to complete all tax registration obligations and calculate and remit all tax liabilities related to the provision of Removalist Services as required by applicable law. You further acknowledge and agree you are responsible for taxes on your own income arising from the performance of Removalist Services.
