EXFINAL User Policy
1. Purpose
EXFINAL Connection is a platform designed to connect transportation providers with customers to ensure a suitable match for transportation services and additional services. The platform facilitates the scheduling and management of transportation appointments, specialized services, and payments.
2. Main Features
-
Scheduling and Appointments:
Users can schedule transportation services and include specialized services such as moving, translation, facility maintenance, furniture repair, home appliance fixing, etc. Customers can specify their requirements and set a maximum payment for these services.
-
Customizable Provider Rates:
Providers have the flexibility to set their own base fare, fare rate, minimum rate for specialized services, and waiting rate. These rates can be adjusted by the provider to respond to changes in the market environment. This feature allows providers to remain competitive and offer pricing that reflects their service quality and market demand.
-
Specialized Services Payment:
Customers set a maximum payment for specialized services, and providers establish a minimum effective reward rate. The final payment amount will depend on the customer's assessment of service quality and any additional terms specified in the order, within the agreed payment range.
-
Insurance and Identity Verification:
Providers must present valid vehicle or motor carrier (MC) insurance to demonstrate coverage for transport services offered through the platform. Identity verification is optional but encouraged, with verified statuses displayed on profiles.
-
No-Show Guarantee:
Both customers and providers can set a no-show guarantee:
-
Customer's Guarantee:
A deposit based on the travel fare and maximum specialized service fees.
-
Provider's Guarantee:
Providers can deposit a guarantee on the platform. When a provider accepts an order, this deposit becomes active. At that point, the guarantee amount displayed will reflect the remaining value available for future orders. Providers can withdraw their deposit before it is converted into an active guarantee for an accepted order. They can set up another guarantee for future orders.
-
Effective Guarantee:
The effective no-show guarantee for any transaction is the minimum of the guarantees set by both the customer and the provider.
-
Guarantee Fund Freezing:
The guarantee funds for both parties will be frozen once the customer makes a deposit, and the funds (or any remaining balance) will only be released when the order is either completed or canceled.
-
Communication:
After order acceptance, users can send notifications to each other using the platform's messenger system, which is accessible from the dashboard after logging into their accounts.
3. Payments
-
Provider Earnings:
A 15% service fee is applied to the net income after an order is completed, meaning that providers receive 85% of the earnings, while the EXFINAL platform retains 15%. However, the platform's retention for transportation fare or specialized services is capped at a maximum of $50.
-
Transfer Options:
Transferring funds or making payments through an external Stripe method incurs a fee of 2.9% plus $0.30, which is non-refundable. Both providers and customers can temporarily disable instant transfers to manage their funds more effectively.
-
Customer Refunds:
Customers can choose to keep refunds on the platform to offset future payments or transfer them to their Stripe Express account once a satisfactory amount is reached.
-
Transfer Costs:
Providers can transfer their earnings immediately after completing an order or accumulate them on the platform to minimize transaction fees. By choosing to accumulate earnings, providers can reduce the frequency of transfers and lower their overall transaction costs.
4. Safety & Privacy
Your safety and privacy are our top priorities. Users are responsible for balancing safety and privacy. The following guidelines are important for both parties:
-
Identity Verification:
Identity verification through Stripe is encouraged but not mandatory. Users should pay attention to the other party's verification status and assess safety based on their personal judgment. Providers who prioritize safety can choose to decline orders from customers with unverified identities. Similarly, customers can avoid placing orders with unverified providers.
-
Background Verification:
All rideshare drivers are required to pass a background verification in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations. This is mandatory to ensure that drivers meet the necessary safety and legal standards before offering rideshare services on the platform.
-
Location Sharing:
You can share your real-time location with the EXFINAL platform by clicking the 'Share Location' button on the messenger page. This feature enhances safety by creating a location tracking record.
-
Privacy Protection:
To protect privacy, customers can set a preferred name, while providers can use a "Doing Business As" (DBA) name during transactions. If no preferred name or DBA is set, the other party will only see your first name on the order details page. The platform does not reveal your contact information to the other party unless you share it via the app's messenger.
-
User Responsibility:
While the platform prioritizes user safety and privacy, it does not guarantee individual safety. By using the platform, users agree to take full responsibility for their safety during transactions.
