From time to time, GoEzy may offer contests (“Contests”) through the Service, which may be sponsored by Metropia or a third-party (either, the “Contest Sponsor”), but in each case will be administered by Metropia. Each Contest will be subject to and governed by these Terms of Service and any other Contest rules that may be applicable to the Contest. The Contest Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, modify, or cancel any Contest.

 

No purchase is required to enter a Contest.

 

All Contests are open to legal residents of the United States who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. If you wish to enter a Contest and are under the age 18, you must obtain permission from your parent or guardian to enter, and you represent and warrant that you possess such parental consent. Note Metropia cannot guarantee that some of the prizes will be available to individuals under age 18. Only individuals are eligible to enter Contests. By entering a Contest, you (i) accept the conditions stated in these Terms of Service, (ii) agree to be bound by any additional Contest rules, which shall be provided to you at the time of entry, and (iii) warrant you are eligible to participate in the Contest. Employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors of Metropia and the Contest Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies, administrators and legal advisors, and their immediate family members and persons living in the same household, are not eligible to participate in any Contest. CONTESTS ARE VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW and are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

 

Prizes (“Prizes”), the approximate retail value of the prizes, and the number of winners to be selected in each Contest will be determined by the Contest Sponsor at its sole discretion. To receive a prize, the winner may be required to provide proof of identification and any other information required by the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes or other applicable laws. Any taxes applicable to prizes are the sole responsibility of the contest winner.

 

28. GoEzy Coins

The Service may include an opportunity for you to earn (by completing tasks or taking part in activities) a type of virtual currency (“Coins”) which may be used to obtain discounts, offers, or other goods or services offered by GoEzy, third-party partners and sponsors, or its successor (such items or other rewards, collectively called “Rewards”). To earn Coins, you must create an account with GoEzy as directed by Metropia. You may earn up to 300 Coins per-day from using the Service and may earn up to 1,000 Coins per-day from participating in certain GoEzy user-engagement activities such as user surveys, focus groups, user-testing meetings, and other marketing campaigns. GoEzy Coins are not real money, do not have monetary value, and may never be redeemed for money, or other items of monetary value from outside of the Service (except as otherwise expressly permitted by GoEzy). We make no guarantee as to the nature, quality, or value of the features of the Service or any third-party good or services that will be accessible through the use of GoEzy Coins, or the availability or supply of GoEzy Coins.

For GoEzy to provide the Service and for you to earn Coins, the Service must access your Trip  information, including your point of origin, the address of your destination, the starting time of your journey, and the Trip recommended to you, and must periodically receive your GPS location.

 

Drivers and Passengers are limited to the number of Coins they may receive in any day. They will not receive credit for trips that exceed the maximum Coins per-day. Furthermore, breaking up a trip into two trips to gain additional Coins is not allowed and may subject the user to forfeiting the Coins for the trip. To help prevent this, trips must be at least 15 minutes apart in order to count for Coins. Note that Metropia is always looking at ways to improve its services and reward its users; to this end, it may occasionally create different reward systems for certain drivers, passengers, and/or routes. Metropia may do this at its sole discretion. In the event that you are affected by such changes, you may be notified.

 

The GoEzy Coins obtained via the Service are provided to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use through the most up-to-date Coins redemption system offered by Metropia. Unless otherwise expressly permitted by Metropia, Coins and Rewards may not be transferred or resold in any manner, including, without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. Use of GoEzy Coins Rewards may be subject to a separate license or agreement with Metropia, or one or more other third-parties. Aside from terms specifically provided to you in writing by a third-party as to third-party Rewards, you have no property interest, right, or title in/to any Coins or Rewards appearing or originating in the Service, or any other attributes associated with use of the Service. Any “virtual currency” balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license, if any. The value of a Coin is determined solely by Metropia at the time of redemption.

 

All Coins and Rewards may be forfeited if your account with GoEzy is terminated or suspended for any reason, or if Metropia discontinues availability of some or all of its Coins-related services.

 

Once Coins have been lost or spent, they will be subtracted from your account and cannot be refunded or returned, except at the sole discretion of Metropia. No Coins will be re-credited to your account in the event of a return or exchange of a Reward, or any problem with any Reward.

 

We have no liability for hacking or loss of your Coins or Rewards, or any goods or services obtained via Coins. We have no obligation to, and will not, reimburse you for any Coins or Rewards, or any goods or services obtained via Coins that are lost due to your violation of these Terms of Service. We reserve the right, without prior notification, to limit the quantity of Coins and/or Rewards, or to refuse to provide you with any Coins and/or Rewards. Price, exchangeability, and availability of Coins and Rewards are determined by Metropia at its sole discretion and are subject to change without notice. You agree that we have the absolute right to manage, distribute, regulate, control, modify, and/or eliminate Coins provided in connection with the Service as we see fit at our sole discretion, and that we will have no liability for exercising such right. We reserve the right to disqualify and prosecute to the fullest extent permitted by law any user who, in our reasonable suspicion, tampers with the Service (including Coins), intentionally and improperly obtains more than the allowed Coins, or acts in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.

 

You agree that under no circumstances are we liable to you for any damages or claims that may arise from the loss or use of your Coins, regardless of the circumstances. You absolve us of any responsibility to maintain or update your Coins account. However, if there is a failure of Coins earned via the Service to be added to your GoEzy account due to technical or operational problems with the Service, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to credit the appropriate number of Coins once we have verified that you have earned such Coins. Without limiting any of the foregoing, our maximum liability or responsibility to you is to credit the Coins lost.

 

 

In using the Service, you authorize GoEzy to access your GPS enabled hardware and otherwise obtain this Trip information from your device, and to record, compile and display such information. Our use of such information is subject to the GoEzy privacy policy located at https://www.metropia.com/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”).

 

29. Employer Program Sponsorship

When you provide the information requested in Section 2 above, you will be asked to provide information about your employer, if you have one, and to update this information should your status change. Your employer, if participating in the program, may elect to offer certain incentives to participating employees. The employer sets up the rules for the incentives and Metropia only implements such rules. Any issues and concerns for these rules for incentives remain between the employee and the employer. The employer may change any incentive rules without prior notification to employees. The employer retains the right to determine who is eligible to join any employer-sponsored program.

 

By joining the employer-sponsored program, you acknowledge that GoEzy may provide individual usage information (nature of trips taken; such as origin, destination, travel dates and time, and modes used) as well as aggregate statistics to the employer for the trip validation and reporting purposes.

 

The employer-sponsored incentives are in addition to and may supplement the Coins and Rewards offered in Sections 27 and 28 above.

 

30. Parental Consent for Minors Age 16 and Over

Parental permission is required for minors ages 16 and over who will use the service. By providing this consent, the parent agrees to supervise the aforementioned minor(s) use of the service, adhere to its rules, and be responsible for any issues. “You,” used throughout this agreement, shall be construed as the parent and the aforementioned minor(s). The parents’ consent shall be memorialized through a separate electronic document provided to the parent on request, which shall be acknowledged and agreed to by the parent.
