This section does not apply to promotional codes for Turvy Delivery Services. Instead, the Turvy Delivery Terms apply to those promotional codes.
User-Provided Content
Turvy may, in Turvy’s sole discretion, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to Turvy through the Turvy Services textual, audio, and visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Turvy Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to Turvy, you grant Turvy and its affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable licence for no fee, with the right to sublicense, use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Turvy Services and Turvy’s business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content, or you have all rights, licences, consents and releases necessary to grant Turvy and its affiliates the licence to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Turvy’s or its affiliate’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
You agree not to provide User Content that is defamatory, libellous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by Turvy in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. Turvy may, but is not obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Turvy’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.
Network Access and Devices
You are responsible for obtaining the data network access necessary to use the Turvy Services.

4. PAYMENT
You understand that the use of the Turvy Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third-Party Provider (“Third-Party Charges”). After you have received services or goods obtained through your use of the Turvy Service, Turvy will facilitate your payment of the applicable Third-Party Charges on behalf of the Third-Party Provider. Payment of the Third-Party Charges shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third-Party Provider. Third-Party Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Third-Party Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by Turvy or required by the Australian Consumer Law. Under the Australian Consumer Law, you may be entitled to a refund for a major failure of the Turvy Services or other remedies for a minor loss. You retain the right to request lower Third-Party Charges from a Third-Party Provider for transportation services you receive from such Third-Party Provider when you receive such transportation services. A Turvy affiliate will respond accordingly to any request from a Third-Party Provider to modify the Third-Party Charges for a particular service or good.
All Third-Party Charges are due immediately. Turvy will facilitate payment using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which you will be sent a receipt by email. Suppose your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged. In that case, you agree that Turvy may use a secondary payment method in your Account on behalf of a Third-Party Provider, if available.
You acknowledge that a Turvy affiliate may, acting reasonably, establish, remove and revise Third-Party Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Turvy Services at any time at the direction of the Third-Party Provider or otherwise in the Turvy affiliate’s discretion, including in certain circumstances such as where you choose an additional service that incurs an additional charge, or an item you requested is out of stock. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Third-Party Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. Turvy will use reasonable efforts to ensure the Turvy affiliate informs you of Third-Party Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Third-Party Charges incurred under your Account. You acknowledge that a Turvy affiliate may, from time to time, provide certain users with Promo Codes that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Turvy Services. You agree that such Promo Codes are provided to you for no fee, have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, are not exchangeable or transferable, and, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Turvy Services or the Third-Party Charges applied to you.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third-Party Provider for the services or goods provided. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third-Party Provider who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Turvy Services, you are under no obligation. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through Turvy Services, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third-Party Provider.
Cancellations
You may elect to cancel your request for transportation services from a Third-Party Provider at any time before such Third-Party Provider’s arrival. You may be charged a cancellation fee, subject to Turvy’s or its affiliate’s cancellation policies. Suppose the transportation services are cancelled for any reason not attributed to you by Turvy’s or its affiliate’s cancellation policies. In that case, you will be entitled to a refund for any charges paid.
If you have other issues with any items or services provided by a Third-Party Provider, Turvy or its affiliate will manage your complaint by the complaints process set out in section 6.
Nothing in this section is intended to limit your rights as a consumer, including your entitlement to a refund or other applicable remedies, under the Australian Consumer Law.
Repair or Cleaning Fees
You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, Third-Party Provider vehicles and property resulting from use of the Turvy Services under your Account over normal “wear and tear“ damages and necessary cleaning (“Repair or Cleaning”). Suppose a Third-Party Provider reports the need for Repair or Cleaning, and a Turvy affiliate verifies such Repair or Cleaning request at the affiliate’s reasonable discretion. In that case, Turvy reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the Third-Party Provider using your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by Turvy to the applicable Third-Party Provider and are non-refundable.
