These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and Makent Cars (as defined below) governing your access to and use of the Makent Cars website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which Makent Cars makes its services available (collectively, "Site"), our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application program interfaces (collectively, "Application") and all associated services (collectively, "Makent Cars Services"). The Site, Application and Makent Cars Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Makent Cars Platform”. 

When these Terms mention “Makent Cars,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the Makent Cars you are contracting with. Account as determined by either your express selection or by Makent Cars’s assessment of your residence using various data attributes associated with your Makent Cars Account.

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the Makent Cars Platform is described in our Privacy Policy.

1. Scope of Makent Cars Services

1.1 The Makent Cars Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “owners” and the services they offer are “owner Services”) to publish such owner Services on the Makent Cars Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such owner Services (Members using owner Services are “Riders”). owner Services may include the offering of cars ("Cars")

1.2 As the provider of the Makent Cars Platform, Makent Cars does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or owner Services, nor is Makent Cars an organiser or retailer of travel packages. Owners alone are responsible for their Listings and owner Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Makent Cars is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, Makent Cars is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms.

1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Makent Cars has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or owner Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. Makent Cars does not endorse any Member, Listing or owner Services. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Makent Cars about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to use the Car, or use other owner Services, accept a booking request from a Rider, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by Makent Cars of any owner or Listing.

1.4 If you choose to use the Makent Cars Platform as an owner or Co-owner (as defined below), your relationship with Makent Cars is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Makent Cars for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Makent Cars. Makent Cars does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the owner Services. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list owner Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 To promote the Makent Cars Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Riders, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Members who speak different languages, Listings and other Member Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. Makent Cars cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations. The Makent Cars Platform may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

1.6 The Makent Cars Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”).

Makent Cars is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Makent Cars of such Third-Party Services.

1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, Makent Cars cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Makent Cars Platform. Makent Cars may restrict the availability of the Makent Cars Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Makent Cars Platform. Makent Cars may improve, enhance and modify the Makent Cars Platform and introduce new Makent Cars Services from time to time.

Unless extenuating circumstances exist, any portion of the Total Fees due to the owner under the applicable cancellation policy will be remitted to the owner by Makent Cars Payments pursuant to the Payments Terms.

8.3 If an owner cancels a confirmed booking, the Rider will receive a full refund of the Total Fees for such booking within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. In some instances, Makent Cars may allow the Rider to apply the refund to a new booking, in which case Makent Cars Payments will credit the amount against the Rider’s subsequent booking at the Rider’s direction.

In addition, Makent Cars may (i) keep the calendar for the Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, and/or (ii) impose a cancellation fee, unless the owner has a valid reason for cancelling the booking pursuant to Makent Cars’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy or has legitimate concerns about the Rider’s behavior.
