If the Contractor is planning on a period of leave and appointing another driver to drive his/her vehicle during that time, the Contractor must advise Drivision Australia in writing in advance and include full contact details of the replacement driver. Drivision Australia reserves full rights to all bookings accepted by the Contractor, and in this circumstance has full discretion to determine if the bookings can be completed by the replacement driver. The replacement driver must register with Drivision Australia and be deemed eligible by going through the entire driver onboarding and engagement process. No exceptions will be made.

Contractor Undertaking

The Contractor gives in favour of Drivision Australia the following specific undertakings in relation to the provision of his/her services as a subcontractor driver:

  1. I will be responsible for payment of any federal and state payroll and self-employment taxes attributable to payments received for ground transport services performed by me and acknowledge and agree that I am not an employee of Drivision Australia for any purposes
  2. I am not working under the supervision of Drivision Australia and will set my own work hours and routine
  3. I will provide my own vehicle, materials, tools, and equipment, and will expect no reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by me in this regard in the performance of my services
  4. I will perform services at the rate quoted for each ground transport booking accepted by me from Drivision Australia, in each case inclusive of GST, with the addition of the authorised chargeable extras where applicable and provided I follow the extra charges process requirements outlined herein

Non-Solicitation Covenant

It is a fundamental term of the relationship between Drivision Australia and the Contractor, and of this agreement, that the Contractor warrants that he/she does not under any circumstance directly or indirectly approach, solicit or accept work in any form from customers or passengers (customers) of Drivision Australia.

Should a Drivision Australia customer communicate directly with the Contractor (either by telephone, in writing or verbally, and either before, during or after a trip) to make a booking or to edit an existing booking, the Contractor must immediately advise the customer that the Contractor is not authorised to take or alter such bookings and the customer should call Drivision Australia on 1300 374 847, details of which are listed on the Drivision Australia website (www.drivision.com.au).

Further, should a customer or representative of a customer directly approach the Contractor with the intent of discussing pricing or direct dealing with the Contractor or any other associated driver providing similar services, the Contractor must refrain from having such discussion and inform the customer that such an arrangement would be a serious breach of his/her agreement with Drivision Australia.

Further, if this agreement is suspended or terminated for any reason the Contractor is strictly prohibited at any time during the 12-month period after such suspension or termination from directly or indirectly contacting any Drivision Australia customer (either by telephone, in writing or verbally) to solicit or accept work on the Contractor's or any other person's behalf.

In the event of any breach by the Contractor of his/her obligations under this section then in addition, and without prejudice, to any other remedy which Drivision Australia may have (including a right to any profits or other moneys arising as a result of the breach, and/or a right to damages, or suspension from the Drivision Australia network without prior notice and/or termination of this agreement) Drivision Australia will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief in any Court of competent jurisdiction.

Whilst the parties agree that the restraints and restrictions contained in this section are reasonable, if any one or more of them is held by a Court to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, but would if part of the wording of the relevant restriction or of any of the relevant definitions relating thereto was deleted, those restrictions will apply with such deletions as may be necessary to make that particular restriction or restrictions valid and enforceable.

The provisions of this section survive termination of this agreement.

Training & Knowledge Testing

The Contractor agrees to undertake and complete any training session and/or testing, as required by Drivision Australia.

Training and knowledge testing may be conducted via a number of different mechanisms (in person or digital) which will be advised to the Contractor at the relevant time. The purpose of training and testing is to assist the Contractor to get an understanding of all the terms of this agreement and to understand why many of these terms have been implemented.

Any Contractor who does not complete required training and testing will not be activated for service and will not be able to access the RideMinder Driver App and commence accepting work, or will be suspended and access to the RideMinder Driver App blocked.

Mandatory Requirements

The Contractor undertakes to Drivision Australia at all times during the term of this agreement to hold and maintain the following minimum mandatory requirements which must be in place in order to be accepted and remain a subcontractor driver for Drivision Australia.

The Contractor warrants that he/she will maintain as current and accurate all the details provided on registration and to which the driver has online access at all times while remaining with a status of "Active".

Driver-Customer Communication Tracking Agreement

The Contractor warrants he/she understands and agrees that Drivision Australia will track and monitor all communications between the Contractor and Drivision Australia customers facilitated using the RideMinder Driver App. These communications are security masked and customers/Contractor do not see each other's actual numbers.

The customer is offered to rate their experience on a scale of 1–5, where 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest rating. The customer can also provide a comment. Any rating less than 4 is automatically alerted to Drivision Australia management by the system for further investigation and clarification.

This customer rating and monitoring system allows customers to alert Drivision Australia management to any unsatisfactory experience.

If the rating uncovers inappropriate or negligent driver conduct, the Contractor will be immediately suspended or terminated and the relevant authorities formally notified where necessary.

The Contractor agrees to use the RideMinder Driver App contact options to communicate with Drivision Australia. There are two types of contact categories and the Contractor agrees to apply reasonable judgement in determining which method of contact to use:

1. Emergency Contact

Emergency contact through the RideMinder Driver App will initiate a phone call to Drivision Australia. The Contractor agrees to only use this method in genuine cases of urgency where immediate assistance is required in relation to an imminent job.

2. Non-Urgent Contact

This method of contact will initiate a message to the Drivision Australia operations team. Use for all non-urgent matters including payment queries, app assistance, profile updates, and non-imminent job queries.

The Contractor has absolute and final responsibility for ensuring the safety of yourself and any passengers you transport as per the terms of this agreement and the SMP.

Accepting Jobs

Managing Fatigue

It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to manage fatigue for occupational health and safety reasons. The Contractor should aim to drive no more than 12 hours per day in total. The Contractor should not accept jobs early in the morning after completing late jobs the night before, or vice versa.

As an independent contractor, Drivision Australia has no way to monitor your capacity and hours worked outside of its bookings. It is entirely your responsibility to manage your working hours to ensure safety and wellbeing for yourself and any passengers you transport. Any driver found to be pushing safety boundaries will be immediately terminated and reported to the relevant authorities.

Booking Offer & Fees

Drivision Australia will offer the Contractor bookings at a set fee via the RideMinder Driver App. The advertised fee will be the full fee payable to the Contractor on completion of the job indicated.

The Contractor may be entitled to additional charges for items such as waiting times, tolls and other extras. Payment of these additional charges is subject entirely on the Contractor following the procedure for adding these extras in the RideMinder Driver App as outlined in the Closing Jobs section.

Important

The Contractor has 12 hours from the commencement time of every booking to close a job off with extras in the RideMinder Driver App. If the Contractor fails to add the extras within this timeframe then the Contractor agrees that he/she forfeits the right to any such additional charges. There will be strictly no variances to this term under any circumstances.

Vision Impaired & Vulnerable Passengers

The Contractor agrees to accept and fulfil bookings for vision impaired passengers who require the companionship of a guide dog or other vulnerable passengers where mobility is affected. It is a requirement of law that these passengers are able to access a wide range of transport options.

Where possible the Contractor will be given special instructions in the booking details indicating that a guide dog will accompany a passenger. The Contractor also agrees to provide respectful assistance to passengers of impaired vision or other disability affecting mobility.

Courtesy Waiting Times

Drivision Australia offers customers the following courtesy waiting times:

  1. 10 minutes for regular pickups
  2. 20 minutes for Special Event pickups
  3. 30 minutes for Domestic Airport pickups from the time of aircraft touchdown
  4. 60 minutes for International Airport pickups from the time of aircraft touchdown

The Contractor acknowledges this promise to customers, and agrees to comply with these courtesy waiting times in respect of each booking. The Contractor must take these courtesy (free) waiting times into account when accepting other bookings and planning any independent work following a Drivision Australia booking.

For airport pickups, waiting time commences upon landing of the customer's aircraft. The Contractor agrees to monitor flight arrival times for all airport pickups.

Acceptance of Bookings

The Contractor agrees to accept bookings from Drivision Australia by way of the RideMinder Driver App. This application can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play after the Contractor has successfully registered, completed the onboarding process and been approved and activated for service delivery.

Booking Edits

When a customer makes a change to a booking which has been accepted by the Contractor, the Contractor will be notified in the RideMinder Driver App with a notification indicating "Action Required" for that booking. The Contractor is given the opportunity to review the changes and to accept or decline the new booking details. If the Contractor declines the revised booking it will be recalled to other drivers in the Drivision Australia network.

Fulfilment of Accepted Bookings

Once the Contractor has accepted a Drivision Australia booking within the RideMinder Driver App, he/she agrees to honour that booking under all circumstances, other than where prevented from doing so by reason of illness, accident or unavoidable traffic conditions. The Contractor agrees that he/she will not return a booking simply because he/she wishes to accept an alternative booking from a private client.

Never Off-load Drivision Australia Bookings

The Contractor must never under any circumstance offload a Drivision Australia booking to another driver. If the Contractor has accepted a booking the Contractor is obliged to complete that booking personally. If for any reason the Contractor cannot fulfil an accepted booking, the Contractor must contact Drivision Australia as soon as he/she is aware of this and return that booking for reassignment.

Never Accept a Booking or Edit From Customers

The Contractor is strictly prohibited from accepting any request for bookings or changes to existing bookings from a Drivision Australia customer or representative of that customer. The Contractor must advise the customer that he/she is not authorised to action any booking requests and ask that the customer contact Drivision Australia directly on 1300 374 847.

Doing Jobs

Monitor Flight Arrival Times

The Contractor warrants to Drivision Australia that he/she will monitor flight arrival times for all airport pickup bookings and understands that for airport pickups waiting time commences upon landing of the customer's aircraft. It is strongly recommended that the Contractor use independent flight tracking applications to check on all flights the night before or at least 12 hours in advance. Any bookings where the flight number does not match the flight arrival time should be referred to Drivision Australia well in advance of pickup time for investigation.

Confirm On Way

The Contractor agrees to confirm all accepted Drivision Australia bookings through the RideMinder Driver App. For all bookings accepted by the Contractor, he/she will receive an in-app notification to confirm the booking 90 minutes prior to pickup time. The Contractor will have 45 minutes to confirm.

Confirming a booking indicates that the Contractor is aware of the booking, is on schedule to arrive at the pickup point at least 10 minutes prior to pickup time, and meets all the criteria outlined on the confirmation notification.

Failure to Confirm

If a Contractor fails to confirm a booking within 45 minutes of the notification, he/she will receive an automated phone call from the system. If the booking remains unconfirmed, Drivision Australia management will be notified. Continued failure to confirm may result in the booking being deallocated and offered to the network for reallocation. The Contractor forfeits the right to any booking reallocated due to failure to confirm, with no exceptions.

Arrive 10 Minutes Early

The Contractor must always use his/her best endeavours to arrive at a pickup point at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled pickup time.

Customer Contact

For privacy and security reasons all customer contact must be made using the Customer Contact option in the RideMinder Driver App. The Customer Contact option will only become live 90 minutes before a booking commences and provided the driver has confirmed the booking. Do not call the customer unless absolutely necessary — text message on arrival is preferred.

Text Message the Customer

On arrival at the pickup point the Contractor must send the customer a text message using the Contact Customer option within the RideMinder Driver App. The text message must include:

  1. Contractor's name
  2. Contractor's vehicle plate number
  3. Confirmation that the Contractor is at the pickup point or nearest legal stopping point
Example text messages

Hi Ms Jones, my name is Sam, I am your driver in [PLATE] and I am waiting for you in front of your office building.

Hi Ms Jones, my name is Sam, I am your driver in [PLATE] and I am waiting for you nearby due to no stopping conditions. Please let me know when you are ready and I will drive up to you.

Hi Ms Jones, my name is Sam, I am your driver in [PLATE] and I will be waiting for you at the limousine pickup point. I will have a digital sign with your name on it.

Missing Text Message Penalty

The price quoted for each booking includes a $10 incentive to ensure that the Contractor complies with the requirement to send a text message to the customer as set out above. If the Contractor fails to comply strictly with this requirement, you waive the right to such incentive and expressly authorise Drivision Australia to reduce the payment for the relevant booking by $10 without further notice to you.

Running Late

If the Contractor is for any reason running late due to unforeseen circumstances, it is the Contractor's responsibility to make immediate contact with Drivision Australia to advise of the anticipated delay, and in all cases should make such contact at least 30 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Failure to contact Drivision Australia in such situations may, at Drivision Australia's discretion, result in payment being wholly or partly withheld and/or the Contractor reimbursing Drivision Australia for its reasonable costs of compensating the customer.

Designated Airport Meeting Points

The Contractor agrees to be aware of the designated airport meeting points and wait at these points for all Drivision Australia customer airport pickups. The designated meeting points are outlined on the Drivision Australia website at www.drivision.com.au.

Digital Signs for Airport Pickups

The Contractor agrees to use a handheld device (such as a tablet or large screen mobile phone) displaying the customer's name for all domestic and international airport pickups. Handwritten whiteboards are not acceptable as they appear unprofessional and are often difficult for customers to read. If the Contractor does not use a digital sign at an airport pickup point and this results in the Contractor not being able to locate the customer, this may result in partial or complete loss of payment.

Customer Not at Pickup Point

If a customer is not at the pre-determined pickup point and has not contacted the Contractor by the end of the courtesy waiting period:

  1. The Contractor must first attempt to call the customer using the Contact Customer option on the RideMinder Driver App
  2. If the Contractor cannot contact the customer, he/she must then contact Drivision Australia
  3. If Drivision Australia cannot make contact with the customer, the Contractor will be instructed to close the job as a No Show and will be released and paid the full agreed amount for the booking
Important

The Contractor must not leave the pickup point under any circumstances without calling Drivision Australia. If that does happen the Contractor will NOT be paid for the job and may be suspended from the service.

Baby Seats

If on pickup a baby/child requiring an appropriate baby/child seat is amongst the customer's group and no such seat has been booked, the Contractor must refuse the job and contact the Drivision Australia operations manager immediately. In such instances, Drivision Australia will release the Contractor and the Contractor will be paid $50 plus any applicable waiting time allowance in accordance with this agreement.

Slight Change of Destination

If upon entering a vehicle a customer directs the Contractor to take the customer to a destination other than that specified in the relevant booking, the Contractor may agree to take the customer to such destination(s) if suitable. The Contractor must close the job with extras and indicate a figure under Other Extras for review and approval by Drivision Australia. If the Contractor fails to notify Drivision Australia by this method, extra payment for a further destination will not be made. There will be strictly no variances to this term under any circumstances.

Chargeable Waiting Time

Authorised Waiting Time: The Contractor will be eligible for paid waiting time (over and above the courtesy waiting time) only where customers have authorised and agreed to pay for chargeable waiting time.

Unauthorised Waiting Time: If no specific waiting time has been indicated by the customer, the Contractor is bound by this agreement to wait up to a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the courtesy waiting time and will be paid the waiting time fee for a maximum of 30 minutes waiting time. If a customer then authorises waiting time beyond this 30-minute period then Drivision Australia will discuss further waiting time with the Contractor on a case-by-case basis.

Waiting Time Fees (retail rates charged to customer — payment to Contractor is net of commission):

  • Sedans: $1.50 per minute
  • Special Vehicles: $2.50 per minute

Reporting Incidents

The Contractor warrants that he/she agrees to immediately report to Drivision Australia any problems, customer or passenger complaints, incidents or accidents that occur during the trip, including any form of inappropriate behaviour by a customer. Any incident which is other than the perfect, uneventful transfer of a customer from one point to another constitutes an incident that requires reporting as immediately as possible.

If already in transit, the Contractor must use his/her best endeavours to deal with the situation calmly and professionally, and ensure the safe delivery of both him/herself and the customer to the destination point or, if not practicable, the nearest safe spot. The Contractor must then call Drivision Australia immediately to report the occurrence.

Inappropriate Conduct

Both subcontractor drivers and customers of Drivision Australia have a right to work and be transported in a safe, secure and non-threatening environment. Drivision Australia has a zero tolerance policy towards inappropriate conduct by any party involved in a point-to-point transfer.

In return Drivision Australia warrants that we support the right of the Contractor to perform the services outlined in this agreement in a safe environment that is free from hostility, abusive or inappropriate conduct by any Drivision Australia customer. The Contractor warrants that he/she will immediately report any incident of inappropriate conduct to Drivision Australia.

Lost Property

If the Contractor locates lost property left in the vehicle by a customer, he/she must inform Drivision Australia immediately. Drivision Australia will contact the relevant customer to arrange delivery to an agreed location or other arrangements for the return of the property. If unavoidable, applicable trip charges will be agreed on between the customer and Drivision Australia for any such deliveries and paid to the Contractor.

Closing Jobs

Auto Close Timeframes

All Drivision Australia bookings are automatically closed without extras 12 hours after commencement time. For all jobs auto-closed by the system, Drivision Australia will pay the Contractor in respect of each trip completed the relevant advertised price (inclusive of GST) displayed at the time the job was accepted through the RideMinder Driver App.

Manual Close — Adding Extras

There are a number of extras that may be incurred which need to be added by the Contractor after a booking by using the "Close Job with Extras" option in the RideMinder Driver App. These extras include (but are not limited to) waiting time, tolls, airport parking fees, international airport charges, unscheduled stops, soiling and damages.

The Contractor has 12 hours from the commencement time of a booking to close it off with extras. The driver will also receive a reminder 2 hours prior to auto-closure.

Important

If a driver fails to add the extras within this timeframe then the Contractor agrees that he/she forfeits the right to claim any such extra charges. There will be strictly no variances to this term under any circumstances.

Getting Paid

Payment Process

Subject to the provisions of this agreement, Drivision Australia will:

  1. Pay the Contractor the relevant advertised price (inclusive of GST) plus any authorised additional charges in respect of each trip completed
  2. Make payment by electronic funds transfer (EFT) to the bank account nominated by the Contractor as captured in the Drivision Australia online driver profile. Payments will be processed on a weekly basis for all work completed prior to 4pm on the Monday before payday
  3. Payment can be expected within 2–5 working days from the date of the payment run. Drivision Australia will not investigate the status of payments prior to 5 working days from the date of the payment run
  4. A remittance advice will be emailed to the driver showing the full amount deposited into his/her bank account and the individual jobs covered in that payment. This remittance advice serves as an ATO-compliant supplier-generated tax invoice — Drivision Australia does not require drivers to provide tax invoices for services delivered

Any EFT payment that is rejected due to the Contractor not having given Drivision Australia the correct bank account details, or having forgotten to update details in the event of a change, will incur a penalty to the Contractor. The Contractor agrees to pay to Drivision Australia a $50 administrative fee for the service of investigating and organising manual payment. The Contractor specifically authorises Drivision Australia to deduct such amount from any monies owed.

Gratuities

If a customer wishes to give the Contractor a gratuity then this is entirely a matter between the customer and Contractor. Drivision Australia is unable under any circumstance to facilitate or process any gratuity payment by way of its credit card facilities or otherwise.

Queries and Disputes

Payment Investigations

Any EFT payment query that the Contractor raises for investigation which proves to be redundant due to an error on the part of the Contractor, including but not limited to not reading the payment confirmation remittance advice or advising incorrect banking details, will result in a $50 administrative fee. The Contractor specifically authorises Drivision Australia to deduct such amount from any monies owed.

Resolution of Disputes

If it cannot be resolved, any such dispute will be escalated to the appropriate management within Drivision Australia, and failing prompt resolution then to the Director. If despite having negotiated in good faith the parties are unable to resolve a dispute within 21 days of escalation to the Director, then the matter will be considered closed and either party will be free to take such further action as he/she/it sees fit.
