4.Financial Terms

  1. 4.1 Delivery Fee Calculation and Your Payment. You can charge a delivery fee for each instance of completed Delivery Services provided to a User that are obtained via the EASI Delivery Services (“Delivery Fee”), where such Delivery Fee is, as applicable (a) calculated based upon a base delivery fee amount plus distance (as determined by EASI) and/or time amounts; or (b) a flat fee, each as detailed in Provider App (“Delivery Fee Calculation”). Distance and time amounts may be based on the expected, not actual, trip distance and duration as reasonably determined by EASI. You acknowledge that the Delivery Fee is the only payment you will receive in consideration for your provision of Delivery Services to a User and that neither the Delivery Fee nor the Delivery Fee Calculation includes any gratuity. You may also charge Users for any Tolls, taxes and/or fees incurred during the provision of Delivery Services, if applicable, whether charged by a third party or EASI. You: (i) appoint EASI as your limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Delivery Fee, applicable Tolls and, depending on the region and/or if requested by you, applicable taxes and fees from the User on your behalf via the payment processing functionality facilitated by the EASI Delivery Services that are related to your provision of Delivery Services; and (ii) agree that payments made by Users to EASI shall be considered the same as payment made directly by Users to you.
  2. 4.2 Changes to Delivery Fee Calculation. EASI reserves the right to change the Delivery Fee Calculation at any time in EASI's discretion. EASI will provide you with notice in the event that any such change would result in a change in the recommended Delivery Fee. Continued use of the EASI Delivery Services after any such change shall constitute your consent to such change.
  3. 4.3 Delivery Fee Adjustment. EASI reserves the right to: (i) adjust the Delivery Fee for a particular instance of Delivery Services (e.g., you took an inefficient route, you failed to properly end a particular instance of Delivery Services in the Provider App, technical error in the EASI Delivery Services, etc.); or (ii) cancel the Delivery Fee or if the Delivery Fee has already been paid, require reimbursement of the Delivery Fee from you for a particular instance of Delivery Services (e.g., a communicated User deadline for completion of delivery services was not met, User is charged for Delivery Services that were not provided, in the event of a User complaint, fraud, etc.). EASI’s decision to reduce or cancel the Delivery Fee in any such manner shall be exercised in a reasonable manner.
  4. 4.4 Processing Errors. EASI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to seek reimbursement from you if EASI discovers payment processing errors. EASI may obtain reimbursement of any amounts owed by you to EASI by deducting from future Delivery Fees owed to you, debiting your card on file or your bank account on record, or seeking reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. You authorize EASI to use any or all of the above methods to seek reimbursement.
  5. 4.5 Service Fee. In consideration of EASI’s provision of the EASI Delivery Services to you, you agree to pay EASI a service fee on a per Delivery Services transaction basis, which is calculated as a percentage of the Delivery Fee determined by the Delivery Fee Calculation (“Service Fee”). EASI will provide you with notice via email or via the Provider App, of the Service Fee that applies to each Delivery Service that you provide. You acknowledge that, unless regulations applicable to your Territory require otherwise, taxes (in particular GST) will be calculated and charged on the Delivery Fee, and EASI shall calculate the Service Fee on an amount equal to the Delivery Fee Calculation plus the amount of such taxes (in particular GST) that would be calculated on the amount of the Delivery Fee. You acknowledge and agree that EASI may adjust: (i) the Service Fee; or (ii) introduce a new model to determine the Service Fee payable to you. EASI will provide you with at least 14 days’ notice in the event of an increase to the Service Fee under (i) above or the introduction of a new Service Fee model under (ii) above.

Continued use of the EASI Delivery Services after any such change in the Service Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.
  6. 4.7 Receipts. As part of the EASI Delivery Services, EASI provides you with a system for delivering receipts to Users for Delivery Services rendered. Upon your completion of Delivery Services for a User, EASI prepares and issues a receipt to the User via EASI App/Website on your behalf.

Receipts include the breakdown of amounts charged to the User for Delivery Services and may include certain information about you, including your name, contact information and photo, and the route taken.
  7. 4.8. No Additional Amounts. You acknowledge and agree that, for the mutual benefit of the parties, through advertising and marketing, EASI and its Affiliates may seek to attract new Users and to increase existing Users’ use of the EASI App/Website. You acknowledge and agree such advertising or marketing does not entitle you to any additional monetary amounts beyond the amounts expressly set forth in this Agreement. You acknowledge that the EASI Delivery Services do not provide Delivery Recipients or Users the ability to apply a gratuity through the EASI Delivery Services, as the Delivery Fees are full payment for your Delivery Services. In the event that a User pays EASI valid gratuity on your behalf, EASI will transmit such gratuity to you and will not retain any portion of that gratuity. With regard to cash gratuities provided by a User or Delivery Recipient directly to you, no portion of that gratuity is owed to or should be paid to EASI.

You further acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for taxes on your own earnings arising from your provision of Delivery Services, including income tax and GST.

If GST is payable on any supply by EASI made under this Agreement, for which the consideration is not expressly stated to include GST, you agree to pay EASI an additional amount equal to the GST at the same time that the consideration for the supply, or the first part of the consideration for the supply (as the case may be), is to be provided. In this Agreement, GST that is payable by EASI includes GST that is payable by the representative member of EASI’s GST group.
  10. 4.11. GST Law. The parties agree that, for the purposes of the GST law, EASI supplies to you the EASI Delivery Services in sole consideration for the Service Fee. In addition, EASI supplies to you a license to use the Provider App under clause 5 for no consideration.
