1. THE APPLICATION
Section titled “1. THE APPLICATION”Lets Carpool (“Licensed Application”) is a NON-COMMERCIAL carpooling platform designed exclusively for cost-sharing among friends, acquaintances, and verified connections attending the same specific events or destinations.
Verified Connections: A “Verified connection” is where both users agree to be connected to each other. If you would not be comfortable riding in the same car, don’t make the connection. Verified connections are mutual agreements between users who know each other or have been introduced through trusted channels. Our Licensed Application facilitates traditional carpooling arrangements where participants share only the actual costs of travel (fuel, tolls, parking) without any profit generation for drivers.
Service Nature and Legal Classification:
- Lets Carpool is NOT a transportation network company (TNC), rideshare service, taxi service, or for-hire transportation service
- Our platform operates as a non-commercial carpooling service, exempt from commercial transportation regulations
- Drivers may NOT receive any form of profit, income, or compensation beyond their fair share of actual trip expenses
- All rides must be event-specific and shared among verified connections only
- The platform is designed for cost-sharing only, not commercial transportation
Cost-Sharing Guidelines:
- Cost-sharing is limited to actual trip expenses: fuel/electricity, tolls, and parking only
- Cost-sharing rates may not exceed the then-current IRS standard mileage rate for legitimate carpooling
