Driver Suspension and Disqualification Policy
This Driver Suspension and Disqualification Policy (“this Policy”) is intended to serve as a guide to users of the Off Max Driver app and platform (Off Max Driver App) regarding suspension or deactivation of a driver account.
- Policy objectives
1.1 As part of our commitment to safety of passengers, we may temporarily suspend a driver’s account, or permanently deactivate a driver’s account. However, we recognise this may have a significant financial impact and so we have created this Policy to provide guidance and allow drivers to clearly understand when and why we would suspend or deactivate a driver’s account. This Policy isn’t intended to capture every possible reason for deactivating a driver’s account. This Policy provides a guide on the circumstances and behaviours that may result in account suspension or deactivation.
1.2 This Policy is intended to help to maintain a service standard and protect Off Max Driver’s reputation, for the mutual benefit of both Off Max Driver and all drivers including you.
1.3 Off Max Driver may from time to time revise and update this Policy. This Policy is published on our website accessible at www.offmaxlogisticsllc.com. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to ensure you are familiar with the current version. Where changes are made to this Policy, we will notify drivers of those changes accordingly.
- Quality of service
2.1 Passengers (“Users”) expect a high quality of service from drivers who use the Off Max Driver App. A driver’s account may be suspended or permanently deactivated for poor service provided to passengers and/or Users.
(a) What is poor service: We measure quality of service using metrics such as passenger/User ratings, acceptance rates (AR) and completion rates (CR).
(i) Passenger/User ratings: Passengers/Users are able to rate drivers after every trip using a 5-star rating.
(ii) Completion rates: The Off Max Driver App calculates the cancellation rates of drivers. The cancellation rate refers to the ratio of requests accepted but cancelled by a driver to requests accepted. For example, if a driver accepts 10 requests, and completes 8 trips, the cancellation rate is 20%.
(iii) Acceptance rates: The Off Max Driver App calculates the acceptance rates of drivers. The acceptance rate refers to the ratio of trips accepted to trips requests provided by the Off Max Driver App. For example, if a driver received 10 requests, and accepts 8 trips, the acceptance rate is 80%.
(b) When a driver’s account may be deactivated: We may suspend or deactivate a driver’s account based on poor service provided to passengers and/or Users, as reflected in poor or low passenger/User ratings, high cancellation rates and/or low acceptance rates. We consider such deactivation is necessary as negative ratings and cancelled journeys affect passengers’/Users’ interests and may affect Off Max Driver’s reputation. Protection of our reputation is important for both Off Max Driver and the drivers who use the Off Max Driver App and rely on it to earn an income.
- Safety
3.1 The safety of all users of the Off Max Driver App is our top priority. Our platform and software reflect this commitment to safety and allow us to record trips in real time.
3.2 To ensure the safety of our passengers and drivers, we promptly investigate all safety-related incidents or allegations. In accordance with our Complaints Handling Policy, Off Max Driver will assess each complaint received and determine a response. If our investigations reveal that the driver was in any way at fault, the driver’s account may be suspended or deactivated depending on the seriousness of the safety-related incident or allegation. In some cases, we may temporarily suspend an account while our investigation is taking place.
3.3 While we cannot detail every safety issue which may lead to a driver’s account being suspended or deactivated, below are a few examples of what we consider relevant.
(a) Drug and alcohol use
We do not tolerate the use of drugs or alcohol by drivers while using the Off Max Driver App, or drivers providing transportation services to passengers while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. We have a zero tolerance approach to drug and alcohol use and may suspend or deactivate a driver’s account if the driver is using, or has used, drugs and/or alcohol while using the Off Max Driver App, while driving a passenger, or if we receive complaints from passengers and/or Users of drug and/or alcohol use.
(b) Compliance with road laws, regulations and rules
All drivers who use the Off Max Driver App are required to comply with all laws, regulations and rules for road use in the relevant jurisdiction at all times. We may suspend or deactivate a driver’s account if the driver is in breach, or may be in breach of any law, regulation or rule relating to road use in the relevant jurisdiction.
(c) General safety
We expect drivers to drive safely at all times, especially when providing transportation services to passengers. This expectation is in addition to drivers ensuring compliance with all laws, regulations and rules for road use. We may suspend or deactivate a driver’s account if we receive complaints from passengers and/or Users about a driver driving dangerously or otherwise not driving safely or a driver acting in a manner which causes a passenger or User to feel unsafe.
Where the driver has caused a serious safety issue, or we believe a driver may have broken any law, regulation or rule, Off Max Driver reserves the right to report the driver’s behaviour to the police.
- Discrimination
We are committed to facilitating access to passenger transportation that are welcoming and inclusive. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination in relation to a person’s race, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, age or any other personal characteristic protected under any applicable law. We may suspend or deactivate a driver’s account if we receive any complaints about a driver exhibiting discriminatory behaviour.
- Fraud and dishonesty
Fraudulent or dishonest behaviour in respect to the Off Max Driver App is not tolerated.
(a) What do we mean by fraud and dishonesty: Fraud includes things such as deliberately increasing the time and distance for a trip, creating fake Off Max Driver App accounts, theft or stealing of property belonging to passengers, encouraging passengers or Users to cancel their trip. Dishonesty includes providing inaccurate driver details, incorrect licence plate numbers or vehicle models and inaccurate profile pictures.
(b) When a driver’s account may be deactivated: We may suspend or deactivate the account of a driver where there is any fraudulent or dishonest activity including but not limited to vehicle ownership, insurance and driving history.
- Other unacceptable or unauthorised activities
We cannot provide an exhaustive list of situations or circumstances where we may suspend or permanently deactivate a driver’s account. We reserve the right to deactivate a driver’s account for any other unacceptable or unauthorised activity that occurs outside of the Off Max Driver App and related to or directly impacting the provision of transportation services to passengers. This includes but is not limited to any breach of your agreement with Off Max Driver as a driver, the Driver Software Use and Licence Agreement or any of Off Max Driver’s standards, guidelines, policies, procedures, notices, terms or other requirements issued by Off Max Driver and applicable to drivers. Examples of other activity or conduct that might result in suspension or disqualification include unauthorised pick-ups or pick-ups that contravene any terms of the Driver Agreement or policies referred to in the Driver Agreement, requesting a passenger exit the vehicle after the passenger has met the vehicle or before the vehicle gets to the destination without a legitimate reason (which reason could include a passenger acting unlawfully), harming Off Max Driver’s reputation or brand, or breaching any of Off Max Driver’s other policies or standards.
- Complaints
When Off Max Driver receives a complaint in relation to a driver or vehicle providing passenger transportation services, Off Max Driver will investigate and seek to resolve the complaint in accordance with its Complaint Handling Policy accessible at offmaxlogisticsllc.com.
- Our right to suspend or deactivate
Off Max Driver reserves the right at all times to suspend or deactivate a driver’s account at its sole discretion for any activity arising from or in connection with Off Max Driver App or the provision of services by the driver.
