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. 

1. Modifications to Via’s standard Terms of Use:
   1. Any changes to Via’s standard Terms of Use or Privacy Policy shall not impact these Columbia Evening Shuttle Terms of Use.

   5. The language of Section XIV from the beginning through the end of the first sentence under “A. Disclaimer of Warranties” is inapplicable to Columbia Evening Shuttle rides;
   6. Section XIV (B) shall be replaced with the following:

IN NO EVENT SHALL EVENING SHUTTLE RIDERS OR VIA BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BY BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY (OR THEIR AGENTS) HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

C.              NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING SET FORTH HEREIN , IN THE EVENT OF A CLAIM ARISING FROM THE ACTIONS OF AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR DRIVER PARTNER ON THE VIA PLATFORM, VIA’S LIABILITY FOR SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE HIGHER OF (I) THE LIMITS OF ANY OF VIA’S INSURANCE POLICIES THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO SUCH CLAIM AS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT WITH COLUMBIA TO PROVIDE THIS EVENING SHUTTLE SERVICE AND (II) TWO TIMES (2X) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY COLUMBIA TO VIA TO PROVIDE THIS EVENING SHUTTLE SERVICE.
