For Mapbox Fleet & Mapbox Straightaway

Last Updated: May 4, 2022

Please read these Terms of Service for Mapbox Fleet & Mapbox Straightaway (these “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy for Mapbox Fleet & Mapbox Straightaway (https://getstraightaway.com/privacy-policy/) (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of the Mapbox Fleet website located at http://fleet.mapbox.com (the “Site”) offered by Mapbox, Inc. (“Mapbox”), our corresponding Mapbox Straightaway mobile application (“App”), and our services made available or through the Site and/or App. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, the App and these services are collectively called the “Services.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND MAPBOX THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 19 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION.

These Terms apply to Mapbox Fleet & Mapbox Straightaway. The App is available to individual independent drivers (“Independent Drivers”) who use it to manage their own delivery routes and to managed drivers (“Managed Drivers”) who use it in connection with performing services for fleet companies (“Fleets”). Mapbox Fleet includes a management console for administrators of Fleets to manage the routes of their Managed Drivers.

  1. 1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are an Independent Driver or a Managed Driver, you are agreeing to these Terms on your own behalf.  If you are a Fleet or you are otherwise accessing or using the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to both that entity and yourself.
  2. 2. Data Protection. Please review the Mapbox Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) which is hereby incorporated in these Terms, where required by Data Protection Laws and Regulations (as defined in the DPA). Mapbox’s Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated in these Terms and applies when accessing or using the Services unless the DPA otherwise applies..
  3. 3. Changes to these Terms or the Services. We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated Terms on the Site, to the App and/or may also send other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
  4. 4. Who May Use the Services? If you are an Independent Driver or a Managed Driver, you may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Mapbox, and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law. If you are a Fleet, you may use the Services only if you are capable of forming a binding contract with Mapbox, and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law, and you may create accounts for Authorized Users (as describe in Section 7 “Your Accounts” below) only if each individual is 18 years or older.
  5. 5. Feedback. We appreciate feedback, comments, ideas, proposals and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). If you choose to submit Feedback, you agree that we are free to use it without any restriction or compensation to you.
  6. 6. One-Time Payments and Subscriptions. Mapbox requires payment of a fee for use of the Services (or certain portions thereof) and you agree to pay such fees. You have the option of purchasing a subscription (“Subscription”) for such use.
  1. a. General. If you purchase a Subscription (a “Transaction”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). By initiating a Transaction, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to you. All payments for Transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.
  1. b. Subscriptions. If you purchase a Subscription, your Subscription will begin at the end of your applicable trial period. You will be charged the Subscription fee (monthly or yearly), plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“Subscription Fee”), at the beginning of your Subscription period and each period thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AUTHORIZE MAPBOX TO INITIATE RECURRING NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENTS AS SET FORTH BELOW. If you purchase a Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each month on the anniversary of the commencement of your Subscription (either monthly or yearly, as applicable), using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your Subscription. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or Mapbox. Your Subscription continues until canceled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services or Subscription in accordance with these Terms.
  2. c. Canceling Subscription. You may cancel a Subscription at any time during your trial period without charge. AFTER THAT, YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE AT ANY TIME. But if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a Transaction, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction for any reason; if we cancel your Transaction we’ll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, you may cancel your Subscription at any time, but please note that such cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL PERIOD, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELLATION. You will be responsible for all Subscription Fees (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred for the then-current Subscription period.
  1. i. If you are an Independent Driver and want to cancel your Subscription, use the standard process of the platform you used to initiate the Transaction (Apple AppStore or Google Play Store). If you cancel, your right to use the fee-based Services will continue until the end of your then- current Subscription period and then your right to use fee-based Services will terminate without further charges. You may continue to use the features of the App accessible without a Subscription.
  2. ii. If you are a Fleet and want to cancel your Subscription, contact support. If you cancel, your right to use the fee-based Services will continue until the end of your then- current Subscription period and then your right to use fee-based Services will terminate without further charges.

  2. e. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 19(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
  3. f. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND MAPBOX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
  4. g. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 19(e) of these Terms ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
