ROAD AIDER IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AUTO SERVICE CONTRACT FACILITATED BY THE PLATFORM SERVICES.

 

2.     Provision of Services. Provider shall make the Services available for Customer’s sole, personal use. Notwithstanding the fact that the Services are primarily funded by a third-party insurance provider or company, pursuant to a master subscription agreement (the “Master Agreement”) as part of a benefits package (or other arrangement) to the Customer, the Customer shall remain bound by the rights and responsibilities set forth in this Agreement, including the payment of any cancellation fees as set forth herein. Customer acknowledges that the Services are being provided pursuant to the Master Agreement and the individualized plan as selected by either the Customer or as set out in the Master Agreement. 

 

3.      Additional Fees. The customer acknowledges and agrees that: 

 

  • Once a request for Services is accepted by a third-party service provider and they have been dispatched, the Customer’s cancellation of Services will result in a non-refundable charge;
