TERMS OF USE

WELCOME TO THE TRUSTED DRIVER PROGRAM!

These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your rights and obligations regarding enrollment and participation in the Trusted Driver Program (the “Program”). These Terms constitute a fully binding agreement between the Participant (“You,” “Your,” “Yourself” or “Participant”) and Trusted Driver, Inc. (including its affiliates and subsidiaries, “Trusted Driver” or “We,” “Us” or “Our”), the proprietor of all rights in and to the Program.

By enrolling in the Program, streaming, downloading, installing, or otherwise using the Program, You (a) represent that You have voluntarily read, understand and accept these Terms and agree to be bound by and become a party to these Terms; and (b) represent that You are at least thirteen (13) years of age or older. If You are between thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) years of age, You must have at least one of Your parents’ or legal guardians’ permission to use the Program.


PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND TRUSTED DRIVER.

If You are accepting these Terms on behalf of another person, You represent and warrant that You have full authority to bind that person to these Terms, and that by Your signing of the enrollment application, such person is hereby bound.

If You do not agree to these Terms or any of its parts, and/or if You are younger than thirteen (13) years of age, then You must refrain from enrolling, accessing, streaming, downloading, installing or otherwise using the Program, and You must delete it from Your mobile or otherwise electronic device.


THE TRUSTED DRIVER PROGRAM

The purpose of the Program is to facilitate traffic stops by minimizing face-to-face interactions between motorists and law enforcement officers (the “Officer” or “Officers”) in order to reduce potentially dangerous situations for either party.

The Program allows Officers to issue contactless traffic citations for minor traffic violations. Minor traffic violations include, but are not limited to, speeding; disobeying traffic lights, signs or symbols; driving on the shoulder of the road; driving with expired plates or without plates; and failure to signal. This is done at no cost to You, the motorist.

The Program allows an Officer to first verify the driver of the motor vehicle that has committed a minor traffic violation based on the information that is provided in Your Trusted Driver account. This is done with a simple non-verbal communication to Your electronic device, such as Your mobile device, Your motor vehicle’s dashboard screen or Your Computer (each an “Electronic Device”). An Officer will send a non-verbal communication to Your Electronic Device, and You will respond by verifying You are, or were, driving the motor vehicle. At this point, the Officer has discretion as to issuing a warning, a citation or can even provide You positive feedback. The process does not require a traffic stop to take place, but the Officer may still conduct a traffic stop.


IDENTIFYING AND PROOFING

The first time You enroll in the Program, the Program requires a high degree of certainty that You are who You claim to be. Once You set up a Trusted Driver account, We may initiate a process called identity proofing. Identity proofing takes information about You and attempts to verify that information and then validate that You, the Participant, are the individual You represent that You are. The process of identity proofing generally includes, but is not limited to, Your name, date of birth, home address, phone number, a photo of Yourself and a photo of government-issued identification, such as Your driver’s license (collectively, the “Identity Evidence”).

After You provide Us with this Identity Evidence, We will attempt to validate it against various authoritative sources, and We may use third-party identity proofing services to assist Us with such validation. For instance, if You submit a photo of Your driver’s license from Your state of residence, We may compare the information on it to Your MVR to ensure that You exist in Your respective state agency records. We may also use technology to look for certain security features on the driver’s license to ensure that it is not fake.

We have the right to reject any applicant’s application at Our sole discretion.

We store Identity Evidence until it is no longer necessary to provide You with Our services through the Program. We further detail how We use Your information in Our Privacy Policy located at www.mytrusteddriver.com/privacy.html, where You can learn about Your ability to access, rectify and erase Your data.

TERMINATION BY YOU

You may terminate or suspend Your account at any time and for whatever reason. You are not obligated to advise Trusted Driver of such termination.

To suspend Your account, visit the Trusted Driver website at www.mytrusteddriver.com (the “Website”) from a computer and log into Your account. Under the settings menu, You can choose to temporarily suspend Your account.

To terminate Your account, visit the Trusted driver Website from a computer and log into Your account. Under the settings menu, You can choose to delete Your account. You have a thirty- (30-) day period after You initiated the termination of Your account to cancel Your account termination. However, thirty- (30-) day period, Your account and all Your information, data and/or Identity Evidence will be permanently deleted, and You will not be able to retrieve any of Your information.

It may take up to ninety (90) days from the initiation of termination of Your account to delete all the information, data and/or Identity Evidence submitted to Your account and/or profile. Copies of Your information, data and/or Identity Evidence may remain after the ninety (90) days in a third-party data storage service that we use to recover in the event of a disaster, software, or other information/data loss. We may also keep Your information, data and Identity Evidence for legal matters, Terms violations or harm prevention efforts. You can learn more about this through our Privacy Policy.


TERMINATION BY TRUSTED DRIVER

Trusted Driver may immediately terminate or suspend Your participation in the Program at any time with or without notification: (a) if You have violated these Terms, (b) if Trusted Driver determines, in its sole discretion, that You engaged in an act or omission that is harmful or may be harmful to the Program, its users, Trusted Driver or any of its agents or affiliates or (c) if You use the Program for any unlawful purpose.


CITATIONS

As a Participant of the Program, if You are driving through a city, municipality, county or otherwise whose police department has adopted the Trusted Driver Program, and You are violating a traffic law, the Officer witnessing such violation may use his or her discretion to either: (a) initiate a traffic stop or (b) initiate the process of issuing You a traffic citation through the Program. If the Officer elects to issue a citation through the Program, You will receive a non-verbal communication on Your Electronic Device to the number provided with the Program, requesting verification that You are driving the motor vehicle involved in the traffic law violation. You agree to answer truthfully under penalty of perjury.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CONFIRMING THAT YOU ARE THE PERSON DRIVING THE MOTOR VEHICLE ON THE PROMPT IS NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT. YOU ARE SIMPLY CONFIRMING TO THE OFFICER THAT THE PERSON DRIVING THE MOTOR VEHICLE IS A TRUSTED DRIVER PROGRAM PARTICIPANT.

If You mistakenly answer “YES” to a prompt, then You must notify Trusted Driver within five (5) days of such submission, otherwise, Your response shall be deemed correct for all legal purposes, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO CONTEST OR OTHERWISE DISPUTE THE IDENTITY OF THE DRIVER OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE IN ANY COURT OF LAW.

When You enroll and participate in the Program, You are responsible at all times for Your conduct and its consequences. You are obligated to comply with any and all federal, state and local traffic laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, pulling over if an Officer is attempting to conduct a traffic stop. Being a Program Participant and agreeing to receive non-verbal communications through the Program does not keep You from having to safely pull over for an Officer.


HOW TO PAY A CITATION

In the event that You receive a traffic citation, You have the option to pay, challenge or defer the traffic citation or choose to take a defensive driving course. If You plan to challenge, defer or take a defensive driving course, You must make an appearance in the applicable court by Your appearance date stated on the electronic citation.

However, if You choose to pay for Your citation, You can simply click on the “Pay Citation” button to provide electronic payment by credit/debit card transaction. You can find Your citation number at the top of the electronic citation, and the citation fee at the bottom of the electronic citation. To pay the citation fee, simply type in Your citation number, provide Your credit/debit card information, and press “Pay.”

If a designated payment fails for any reason, You remain obligated to timely pay any amount then due in accordance with the court attendance date.


OUTSTANDING CITATIONS

Once You terminate or suspend Your account, citations will no longer be issued to You through the Program. However, any outstanding citations will remain on Your record and will need to be resolved. You acknowledge that You are solely responsible for resolving any and all respective outstanding citations and that Trusted Driver will not be liable in any manner whatsoever to You for any action(s) taken against You in connection with any outstanding citations. Termination or suspension of Your account, either by You or Trusted Driver, does not, in any way, expunge Your outstanding citation(s). Solely choosing to terminate or suspend Your Program account will disable non-verbal communications from the Program appearing on Your Electronic Device, but such action does not expunge Your outstanding citation(s).


INSURANCE

At the time the citation is processed through the Program, whether paying, challenging or deferring the citation, You may be asked about Your insurance and will have to show proof of valid insurance at that time.


COMMUNICATIONS

You understand and agree that, pursuant to Tex. Transp. Code § 545.4251, it is a violation to use a communication device while operating a motor vehicle unless the motor vehicle is stopped. Accordingly, if You are driving the motor vehicle, You must safely pull over to respond to the non-verbal communication from the Officer. Failure to pull over will be at Your sole risk.

Furthermore, in the event that an Officer is conducting a traffic stop after You have received a non-verbal communication from the Program and verified that You are driving the motor vehicle, You MUST slow down, move the motor vehicle as far to the right of the main traffic lane as possible (or safely to an area that is immediately available and free from other traffic), place the motor vehicle in a parking position, and wait for further instructions from the Officer. Being a Participant does not waive Your obligation to pull over and stop if an Officer has initiated a traffic stop.


SAFE DRIVING

You should always drive diligently according to road conditions and in accordance with all traffic laws, rules and regulations. It is strictly forbidden to non-verbally interact with the Program or use the Program in a non-verbal manner for any purpose while operating Your motor vehicle. Non-verbal responses You want to submit to the Program may only be sent either (a) by You, once You have safely stopped Your motor vehicle in an appropriate location permitted by law or (b) by a passenger other than You, the driver, if it does not interfere with the due course of driving and does not distract Your attention to the road.


WAIVER OF CLAIMS

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST TRUSTED DRIVER, ITS EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND THE APPLICABLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ITS RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER(S) ISSUING THE CITATION THROUGH THE PROGRAM BY NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES SUFFERED BY YOU DUE TO BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM, OR DUE TO ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS BY YOU, OR YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH LAW(S), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE TO YOU OR YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE. THIS WAIVER SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OF THE PARTICIPANT’S ACCOUNT AND OR USE OF THE PROGRAM.


INDEMNIFICATION

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS TRUSTED DRIVER, ITS EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND THE APPLICABLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ITS RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER(S) ISSUING THE CITATION THROUGH THE PROGRAM BY NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ARISING OUT OF ACTUAL OR ALLEGED BODILY INJURY OR PERSONAL INJURY OF ANY PERSON, THIRD PARTY OR PARTIES, INCLUDING DEATH, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO TANGIBLE OR INTANGIBLE PROPERTY CAUSED, OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY THE NEGLIGENT OR WILLFUL ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE PARTICIPANT, DUE TO ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS, USE OF THE PROGRAM, OR VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS. THIS INDEMNIFICATION EXTEND TO THE SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS OF THE PARTICPANT. THIS INDENIFICATION OBLIGATION SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OF THE PARTICPANT’S ACCOUNT AND/OR USE OF THE PROGRAM.

You agree that neither the applicable Police Department nor the Officer using the Program to exchange non-verbal communication(s) with You shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any failure of You to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, traffic laws while operating a motor vehicle, nor any personal injury to Yourself or a third party, including death, property damage or any other damage resulting therefrom.


TRUSTED DRIVER COMMUNICATION(S) CONSENT

You hereby agree to receive non-verbal communications from Trusted Driver and Officers or agents thereof, in connection with the issuing of a citation, commendation, warning or otherwise communicating from the Officer witnessing a traffic violation. You will receive an initial non-verbal communication during the enrollment process containing a confirmation code. Data rates may apply. Transmitting and receiving non-verbal communications and receiving real-time non-verbal communications from the Program requires an online connection between Your cellular device and the Internet. The expenses of such connection are as prescribed by the agreement between You and Your communication service provider, and according to its applicable terms of payment. Non-verbal communications are not available in all areas. Not all mobile devices may be supported. Trusted Driver is not responsible for the successful delivery or any delays in Your transmitting and receiving of nonverbal communication(s).


MODIFICATIONS

Trusted Driver reserves the right to add, remove, change or otherwise modify features and/or functionality of the Program, including these Terms, from time to time, for any reason or no reason at all, without notice to You. If fundamental changes are introduced, a notice will be posted in the updated version of the Program as well as on the Program’s Website. Your continued participation in the Program after the Terms have been modified shall be deemed Your consent to the updated Terms. If You dissent to the updated Terms or to any term within them, You must discontinue participation in the Program by terminating Your use of the Program.


NOT A SOLICITATION

None of the Program or any of the Program’s content(s), non-verbal communications or the receipt of a citation(s) constitutes a solicitation or offer by Trusted Driver to represent You in any matter or legal dispute.


KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Laws and regulations vary among jurisdictions. Therefore, any and all content included in the Program is not intended as, nor is it a substitute for, specific legal advice, and You should not be construed as such by You or anyone else. If You want or need legal advice regarding Your citation(s) in connection to the Program, You should speak with a lawyer to receive legal advice. The Program also does not represent, warrant, or otherwise promise that all information on this Program is complete, accurate or up to date.
