Evening Shuttle Terms of Use
Amendment to Via’s Standard Terms of Use for Columbia Evening Shuttle riders
Columbia University has worked with Via to modify certain provisions of Via’s standard on-line Agreement with paid riders (available at https://ridewithvia.com/terms-of-use/, hereinafter Via’s “standard Terms of Use”) for Columbia’s Evening Shuttle riders. The amended terms, set forth below, do not apply to any paid rides Columbia Evening Shuttle riders choose through the Via app. Paid rides are governed by Via’s standard Terms of Use.
Via’s standard Terms of Use are modified as follows for Columbia’s Evening Shuttle riders:
Except as herein expressly modified for all Columbia Evening Shuttle rides provided by Via, all terms, conditions and provisions of Via’s standard Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect for Evening Shuttle riders. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the standard Terms of Use and the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall govern for any Evening Shuttle ride provided by Via for Columbia University. Such rides will be explicitly identified as “Evening Shuttle” rides at a zero-cost proposal when booking a ride. For the avoidance of doubt, all rides not designated as such shall be subject to the Via’s standard Terms of Use, not subject to any of the modifications set forth herein.
