The Careem Captain App will reflect the Total Payment Received and will specify the amount attributable to the Careem User's Careem Wallet as 'credits'.

Where the Careem User receives their change as Change for Careem Wallet: (i) the amount of such Change for Careem Wallet will constitute a debt owing by You to Careem; (ii) any Change for Careem Wallet will be deducted from the Fare (together with any other amounts agreed between us as being deductible from the Fare) prior to remittance of amounts due to You under this Agreement.

b) Collection of underpayments in cash: You agree that notwithstanding Careem Technologies role to facilitate the payment of orders using non cash payment methods and to act as limited collection agent for you, where a Careem User selects cash as his or her payment method for an order, it is your (and not Careem Technologies 's) obligation to collect such amounts. You agree and acknowledge that at the time of payment for an order you may be notified via the Careem Captain App that the Careem User has incurred a negative balance comprising the total cumulative amount of any Underpayments incurred by the Careem User on their account up to (but excluding) the current transaction (the "User Negative Balance"). In such circumstances: (i) the Careem App will reflect that the total amount owing by the Careem User comprises of: (a) the transaction amount owing for that order; and (b) the User Negative Balance owing to Careem Technologies ; and (ii) in case of some Delivery Services, you may be asked to return back the package or product(s) to point of collection. You are under no obligation to compel or demand payment for the User Negative Balance from the User.

c) Collections and Payment: Set off: You acknowledge and agree that at the end of each week, Careem Technologies will calculate : (a) (i) the total amount received by Careem Technologies constituting payments made by Careem Users to You, as the case may be for the provision of Delivery Services using a non-cash payment method including any Gratuities plus (ii) such other amounts which Careem Technologies (in its sole discretion) agrees to pay to you, as the case may be less (iii) the Service Fees owing with respect to the Fares paid using non-cash payments less (iv) such other deductible amounts which you and Careem Technologies have agreed to deduct from the Fare prior to remittance ("Careem Remittance Amount"); and this Careem Remittance Amount will be set off against (b)(i) Service Fees owing to Careem Technologies with respect to cash Fares, plus (ii) total Change for Careem Wallet owed by You, plus (iii) User Negative Balance paid to you in cash, less (iv) such other deductible amounts which you and Careem Technologies have agreed to deduct from the Fare ("Driver Remittance Amount"). Where the Careem Remittance Amount is greater than the Driver Remittance Amount, the parties understand that Careem Technologies will remit the net amount (being the difference) to you. For the avoidance of doubt, you understand that where the Driver Remittance Amount is greater than or equal to the Careem Remittance Amount, Careem Technologies will have no further obligation to pay or remit funds to you. You will continue to be fully liable for any amounts outstanding and owing to Careem Technologies until such amounts have been fully settled with Careem Technologies.

d) Recording of non-payments: In the event that a Careem User has insufficient funds to pay for a transaction (whether in whole or part, each such event is considered an "Non-Payment"), you acknowledge and agree to return the package to the original pick-up point (unless otherwise agreed to with Careem) and Careem will record an amount equivalent to the Non-Payment as a negative balance on the Careem User's account. Careem may from time to time deactivate Non-Payments as a specific feature available to you.

e) Pricing, Fees and User Payment: The third-party merchants determine the prices charged to Careem Users for products listed in a relevant Menu ("Merchant Fee"). The pricing for Delivery Services ("Delivery Services Fee") is determined either on a per trip basis and/or distance travelled basis in kilometres or miles, depending on the jurisdiction in which you are providing Delivery Services.

7. Dispute Resolution

a) Arbitration: You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Careem Platform (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration between you and any relevant Careem Technologies Affiliate in your jurisdiction, or between you and Careem Technologies Holding Ltd if no other Affiliate is incorporated in your jurisdiction, except that each party retains the right to equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and Careem Technologies are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Careem Technologies (or a relevant Affiliate) otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of this Agreement. This "Dispute Resolution" section applies to all Disputes (as defined below) between you and Careem and/or any of its Affiliates.

b) Arbitration Process and Rules: Any dispute, conflict, claim or controversy arising out of or broadly in connection with or relating to the Careem Platform, your provision of Delivery Services as applicable or this Agreement, including those relating to its validity, its construction or its enforceability (any "Dispute") will be first mandatorily submitted to mediation proceedings under the International Chamber of Commerce Mediation Rules ("ICC Mediation Rules"). If such Dispute has not been settled within sixty (60) days after a request for mediation has been submitted under such ICC Mediation Rules, such Dispute can be referred to and will be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC Arbitration Rules"). The ICC Rules' Emergency Arbitrator provisions are excluded. The Dispute will be resolved by one (1) arbitrator to be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The place of both mediation and arbitration will be in the city in which the applicable Affiliate with which you have a Dispute has its registered office. The language of the mediation and/or arbitration will be English, unless you do not speak English, in which case the mediation and/or arbitration will be conducted in both English and your native language. The existence and content of the mediation and arbitration proceedings, including documents and briefs submitted by the parties, correspondence from and to the International Chamber of Commerce, correspondence from the mediator, and correspondence, orders and awards issued by the sole arbitrator, will remain strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party without the express written consent from the other party unless: (i) the disclosure to the third party is reasonably required in the context of conducting the mediation or arbitration proceedings; and (ii) the third party agrees unconditionally in writing to be bound by the confidentiality obligation stipulated herein.


8. Other Provisions

In that event, the parties will replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof with a provision or part thereof that is legal, valid and enforceable and that has, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof, given the contents and purpose of this Agreement.
