Fees & Charges

Here are some common reasons riders believe they were overcharged for a trip. Check to see if any of these situations may have applied to your trip:

Poor route. Drivers are encouraged to use GPS to navigate to your destination, but are allowed to take alternate routes to avoid construction, blocked roads, or heavy traffic when necessary. If you believe a more efficient route was available, let us know and we will review your trip.

Separate pending charge. When you create an account, update your payment method, or request a trip, you may see a pending transaction in addition to your trip charge on your payment method. This is not an extra charge, but a temporary authorization we use to verify your payment method. The authorization will never actually process but may show as pending on your bank statement. An authorization appears on your card or bank statement as a pending transaction. Your card issuer will typically remove it within 5/7 business days.

Toll fee. The final trip fare you see in the app includes applicable toll fees, which are priced based on the local electronic toll collection system. Please note that HUMAN app platform reserves the right to apply tolls to rider fares that may not be identified on this list. Here is a list of California tolls charged to the rider: Orange County: S.R. 241; S.R. 261; S.R. 133; and S.R. 73; San Diego: South Bay Expressway; San Francisco: All bridges.

Damage fee. If you or a member of your group causes physical or cosmetic damage to the interior or exterior of your drivers car, we will assess a damage fee and charge your default payment method.

Paid for no trip

Here are a few reasons you might see a charge from HUMAN app platform. Check to see if any of these situations may apply to you:

Temporary authorization. You may see a pending transaction on your bank statement. This can happen when you request a trip or update your payment information. This is not a charge - it is a temporary authorization we use to verify your payment method. It may take 5/7 business days for your bank to remove the temporary authorization from your bank statement.

Trip started without me. If a driver started a trip without you, or you believe a different rider took your trip, let us know by selecting GET MORE HELP below and we will investigate. Keep in mind that in order to eliminate any chance of a driver starting a trip without you or picking up a wrong rider, we introduced a secret code (PIN CODE) that is issued to you only after your trip request gets accepted by driver. Drivers do not know your pin code, until you are in their car and tell them your pin code to start your trip. Without the pin code from you, drivers will not be able to start a trip without you, nor be able to pick up a wrong rider. Each accepted trip request issues a brand new pin code to you only. When you are actually inside the vehicle, you will need to tell the driver your trip's pin code so the driver can use it to start the trip with you and you only. Also if you try to give your trip's pin code to a wrong driver that was not requested by you, your pin code will not work with that driver to start a trip with you, because you are not the rider who requested that driver.

Family member or friends trip. If you have ever logged in to your account on a friend or family members phone, they may still be logged in and could request trips using your account. We recommend checking with family and friends before contacting us. Once you notify us of suspicious activity, we may need to lock your account for some time while we investigate for you.

Cancel or no-show fee

To compensate your driver for their time and gas, we will apply a cancellation fee in specific situations.

Credit or discount did not apply

Any valid trip discounts or credits on your account are automatically applied to eligible trips. See the Promos tab (when available) in your app to check for value, expiration, trip limits, and terms.

If you no longer need a trip, feel free to cancel it. To cancel a trip, tap the bottom of the app. This will take you to a view where you can then tap Cancel Trip Request. To compensate your driver for their time and gas, we may apply a cancellation or no-show fee to the trip.

Health safety cancellations

In our continued effort to help protect our riders and drivers, HUMAN app platform now requires all riders and drivers to agree to our Health Safety Commitment in order to continue using the platform. Part of that commitment is that everyone in the trip must wear a face covering and that no one can sit in the front seat of the vehicle. If your driver arrives at your pickup location and they do not have a face covering, you can cancel the trip. Similarly, if you are not wearing a face covering, or your party is large enough that someone must sit in the front seat, the driver may cancel the trip.

Cancel fees

You may be charged a fee if one of the following occurs:

1. The 5 minutes cancellation timeframe has passed after a driver accepts your trip request.
2. Your driver is on time to arrive within 5 minutes of the original estimated arrival time.

No-show fee

No-show fees may be charged under these circumstances:

1. Your driver arrived to pick you up.
2. Your driver waited the allotted time or more.
3. Your driver attempts to contact you, or you contact your driver.

Repeat cancellations

You will be charged a $2 fee if you cancel 3 or more trips of any type in a 15-minute timeframe, even if it is within the cancellation timeframe.

How to review a fee

If you think you were wrongly charged a cancellation fee, we would be happy to help. Simply use the Trips tab in the app. Open the app and tap the menu icon in the top left corner, then:

1. Tap Trips.
2. Tap All Trips.
3. Tap the trip with the fee in question.
4. Review the payment area.
5. If you need more help, tap Get Trip Help.
A temporary authorization is not a charge. This charge is temporary and will appear as pending in your payment method account. We use it to make sure your payment method works and will never charge you if no driver accepted your trip request. You may see a pending transaction on your payment method when:

1. You create an account.
2. You request a trip.
3. You update your payment method.
4. The authorization amount depends on a trip price.

When is an authorization released?

Your bank will usually remove the pending amount within 5/7 business days. Once your payment method is successfully charged, HUMAN app platform immediately releases the authorization. Contact your bank for more information on its authorization policies and timelines.

What should I do when a temporary authorization causes an overdraft?

Contact your bank for overdraft questions.

How do I see my actual charges?

Use Trips tab in app menu to see your charges.
If you or a member of your group causes physical or cosmetic damage to the interior or exterior of your drivers car, we will assess a damage fee and charge your default payment method. View the TOS to learn more. Drivers use their personal vehicles to drive other riders as well as their family and friends. It is important, drivers keep their car in great condition.

How will I be notified about damage fees?

Our team will send a notification or an email if you are charged a damage fee. This email will show which trip the fee is for and also photos of the damage. You will get an updated receipt after the damage fee has been charged. You can also check out details in Trips tab of the app. Any damage fees incurred will be shown under that trip.

Types of damage charges

Damage charges vary based on how severe the damage is. Damage charges help the driver pay to have their car cleaned or repaired.

No damage: $0
Items easily picked up or not seen, such as water bottles, trash, and smells.

Small impact: $20
Damage that may need a vacuum or time to clean, such as mud and sand.

Moderate exterior mess: $30
Damage only on the outside of the car, such as biowaste.

Moderate interior mess: $80
Damage within the car, such as major liquid spills.

Major damage: $150
Can include both interior and exterior of the vehicle, or extreme damage to the interior of the vehicle (ex. burns to the upholstery).
The following fees may apply during your trip. These fees may be retained by your driver, HUMAN app platform, or other 3rd parties.

Toll fees

App features an automated toll system for California in which we operate currently. The estimated tolls for your trip will be included in the price you see when you request a trip. Your driver will be reimbursed for any applicable tolls that your trip may have passed through as part of the payment for the trip. In some instances, drivers must pay a bridge or tunnel toll to return to their original coverage area or location. This return toll is added to your upfront price so drivers are fairly compensated for their time and effort. See all qualifying return tolls here. We cannot remove or refund the cost of the toll if a rider pays for it outside of the app. It is against the TOS for riders to use cash for portions of a trip except for tips, which can also be done in the app. The toll amount charged is based on the local electronic toll collection system price.

Airport fees

Rides to certain airports may include a pickup or dropoff fee. The final trip fare includes applicable airport fees.

Other fees

Riders may pay a fee during a trip for other related costs, such as a return toll, venues, etc. The final trip fare in the app includes applicable fees.

Trip Request

Riders can request trips through the app.

Once you have downloaded the app and created an account:

1. Tap WHERE TO? and enter your desired pickup and destination.

2. For adding an extra stop or two during a trip, tap the + icon next to the pickup address at the top of the WHERE TO? screen.

3. Confirm or change your pickup or destination before tapping the top right arrow to proceed to PICK A DRIVER screen.

4. Pick a driver of your choice by exploring their prices at the bottom of each driver view.

5. If you like driver and their prices then tap to fave the driver, so they will be added to the list of your favorite drivers, which can be accessed directly from main view of the app by tapping on the heart button in the top right corner.

6. Also to check each driver rates per base, mile and minute, simply tap on picture of their vehicle. Once tapped, the vehicle picture reveals their rates.

7. Tapping the bottom arrow reveals several things such as ETA (how long the driver is from pickup), HARD MAX (maximum number of riders the driver will pick up), and PRICE QUOTE (the actual trip price).

8. If you like everything you see, then simply tap on REQUEST button to request the driver.

If you are making a stop or going to leave the car for more than 10 minutes, ask the driver to end the trip. Then, request a new trip when you are ready to go to your next destination.

I am unable to request a trip

You may receive an error message that your trip cannot be requested if the following applies:

Payment method needs updating.
Not enough funds to cover the trip cost.
No current drivers available in your area.
Your account is deleted/deactivated.
Connectivity issues within the app or your smartphone.

To update the payment method:

1. Tap Payments from the app menu.
2. Add or update your payment method.

If a payment charge or authorization fails, you will not be able to request a trip with that payment method. For declined payments, please contact your card issuer or digital wallet customer support. To learn more, see authorizations section.

Poor connectivity or out-of-date software can also cause issues with requesting trips. To learn more, see Fix connectivity and frozen app sections.
After you have requested a trip and your chosen driver has accepted your trip request, you will see the drivers name and photo, vehicle make, model, license plate, and image. If you have any special instructions, or need to communicate with your driver while they are on their way, you can message them in the app by tapping the bottom of the screen where the drivers photo is. You will also be able to cancel your trip as long as it is within cancellation timeframe. You will get a message when your driver arrives and you are ready to ride!
We operate in California (coverage area) and will expand as soon as possible.

Can requests be made outside the coverage area?

Trip requests can only be made from inside our coverage area.

Can trips go outside the coverage area?

You can take a trip outside of the coverage area as long as the trip does not exceed a distance of 100 miles total. HUMAN app platform does not support crossing international borders. Drivers have the right to deny these kinds of trip requests.

Can I take trips in a city I did not sign up in but within your coverage area?

Yes, the app works the same way in every city that is within our coverage area. HUMAN app platform is a great way to get to know other cities because our drivers are locals who generally know quite a bit about the place you are visiting!

How often does HUMAN app platform expand coverage areas?

We are constantly growing and changing. It is likely the areas we cover will continue to expand as our community grows.

Choose a Trip Type

You are able to request a specific driver, price, or type of vehicle to meet your travel needs.

Unlike other rideshare (or ridehail to be exact) service providers who segregate drivers on what type of trips they can offer. We do not dictate to drivers anyhow and let them offer as many trips as they can do for any price they wish to earn. Drivers can set their own prices on per vehicle basis on any given day and allow riders make their own decisions on who will be driving them, how much they like to pay, and what quality of vehicle-wise they would rather ride in.

After you set your pickup and destination and proceeded to PICK A DRIVER view, simply browse all available in your area drivers until you find most suitable driver (and their vehicle) to request. You are free to check each driver rates per base, mile, minute, etc. Keep in mind, each driver has their own rates that they can set via driver app. As more drivers join our community, you are able to choose from variety of rates, drivers, vehicles, etc.

Trip Features

Trips section is the fastest way to view details about your past trips within your app (if you do not see this section, update your app). After your payment is processed for a trip, HUMAN app platform sends a notification.

Did not get a trip receipt?

Check your email settings.

Please note that you cannot unsubscribe from transactional notifications such as trip receipts.

Find a lost item

If you left something in your last trip, tap Find Lost Item to message your driver directly. Note that this link expires after 72 hours. When you tap Find Lost Item, we will ask for a description of the item. We will then text your driver with this description and your preferred phone number. Learn more about lost and found for riders.

Request a review

If you had an issue with your trip and would like to request a price review, tap Request review at the bottom of the receipt. Give us more details about what happened via GET MORE HELP below.

Add a tip

If you forgot to add a tip and would like to, tap Tip driver at the bottom of the receipt. Note that this link expires after 72 hours. If you would like to add a tip and the link in the receipt is not active, we are happy to add one for you. Send us a message by tapping GET MORE HELP below, and include the drivers name, the trip time and date, and the amount you would like to tip.

After Trips

The easiest way to recover a lost item is to contact your driver directly. If you have trouble reaching your driver, we are here to help you get in touch with them. Keep in mind that we are unable to guarantee items will be found or delivered immediately. Per TOS, we do not procure insurance for, nor are we responsible for, personal belongings left in the car by drivers or riders. For this reason, we are unable to provide refunds for trips or reimbursement for the value of lost items.

Contact the driver

If you lost an item in a trip, use the following steps to contact your driver. Please keep in mind that your drivers schedule will be affected when returning your item.

For trips less than 24 hours ago:

1. Open the app.
2. Tap the menu icon in the top-left corner.
3. Tap Trips, then select the trip you lost your item in.
4. Tap Your Driver Avatar at the top, to call the driver.

If calling your driver, provide the best contact number your driver can reach you.

For trips more than 24 hours ago:

First, try calling your driver as described above. If your driver does not respond within 24 hours, tap Get Trip Help button on the trip details view, so our team can assist you. If your lost item contains sensitive personal information, you can also consider additional options.

Lost phones

If you lost the phone associated with your account or you are unable to contact your driver, tap Get Trip Help button on the trip details view, so our team can assist you. Please provide an alternate contact number where your driver can reach you.

Additional options

We will do our best to facilitate the return of lost items and help you connect with your driver, though it is important to note that drivers are independent contractors and are not required to keep in direct contact with us. While HUMAN app platform is unable to provide insurance, replacements, or reimbursement for lost items, we can recommend contacting your local authorities to file a police report if you have lost items with sensitive or personal information. If your lost item is a phone, we also encourage you to take any action necessary to fulfill your providers insurance claim requirements.
If you are unhappy with a trip, we are unhappy. If you have an issue with a trip, question about your earnings, or want more info about becoming a driver, you have many options to get help. The quickest way to get help is to use the Help section. We encourage you to see if we have already provided the info you need.

Personal safety

For serious incidents that involve personal safety, we have a built-in location tracker which can be accessed directly from main view at any time. It is a lower left corner of main view and has a shield icon. We cannot guarantee the availability or accuracy of GPS reception nor signal therefore personal safety cannot be 100% available nor 100% applicable not 100% useful.

Contact us

To get a response from our team, tap Help section in app. Find a topic of help that suits your issue best and tap on GET MORE HELP button. If you are writing about an issue, include concise, to the point, description of an issue.
When your trip is over, we will ask you to fave or block your driver.

Once you have faved or blocked your driver, we will email you a receipt with all the payment info.

Keep in mind, that you can indicate a default amount of a tip via account in app.

Once you indicated a tip, it will be added to the total of your trip and included in the receipt noted above.
100% of tips go to drivers. During a trip, you can choose to tip your driver with cash or through the app. Tips added in the app are charged to the payment on file. HUMAN app platform credit cannot be used to tip drivers.

Keep in mind, in-app tips cannot exceed $2. Of course, we will be increasing it as we grow.
After each trip, you can fave or block your driver.

You will see your favorite drivers when you request a trip, and they can see you as their faved or not-yet-faved rider too.

Any driver you faved, will show in the list of your favorite drivers (also known as your faves) and will show in the list of available drivers.

Any driver you unfaved, will not show in the list of your faves, but will show in the list of available drivers.

Any driver you blocked, will not show in the list of your faves nor in the list of available drivers.

Unlike other well-known rideshare apps, we do not allow to rate drivers nor riders, due to the fact that everything is based upon favorite system. If you fave a driver then they will be your favorite driver and as result you can request them again, any time they are available. This makes a star reputation system obsolete, moreover super-stressful on riders/drivers, and according to medical journals this exact type of stress undermines trust among humans, puts everyone at risk during traffic conditions, ruins lives, destroys relationships, and even brings suicidal feelings. To eliminate that, no one is allowed to judge (also known as to rate) anyone on HUMAN app platform, after all we are all humans at the end of each day, therefore if you do not like someone you had to deal with, simply block them, and you will not be paired with them again.

Health Safety concerns

All riders and drivers are required to follow our Health Safety Commitment. You can cancel the ride if the driver is not wearing a mask. If you wish to never deal with them again, simply block them.

What to consider when faving, unfaving, and blocking

Block your driver based on your experience throughout the trip. If you had a great ride, you should fave your driver. When you fave, unfave, block a driver, it lets us know how that driver is doing. All riders and drivers should follow our community guidelines.

Price concerns

You can submit questions about pricing in the Trips tab in app.

All prices are different and set by each individual driver. We do not dictate drivers any prices due to the fact that they are not employees but 100% independent contractors who can set their own prices at any time. You can check different prices from different drivers before tapping on request a trip button. There is always a better price from a different driver, so simply browse all drivers with their prices to find most suitable price to your budget, turnaround, and vehicle that you prefer.
The Trips tab lets you see a detailed overview of your trips. Use Trips tab to report lost items, export ride receipts, or get help with trips.

HUMAN app platform will also email you a trip receipt after your payment is processed for a trip or within 24 hours after a trip.

You can export your trip receipts in the Trips tab of your app. Tap the download icon. From there, select all of the trips you wish to export. You will receive a Trip Report email with a receipt for all of the selected rides.

Lost & found

If you left something in your last trip, send a message directly to the driver. Your driver will receive a message with the description you give of the item and your phone number. You are still able to message your driver even if you have blocked the driver before you found out that you left something in their vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why my trip not showing in Trips?

The Trips only shows trip details if the payment has been processed for a trip.

What else does the Trips tab show?

Your trips will also include a map overview of each trip. Cancellation fees will not appear, but damage fees will.

I paid for a trip, but my trips say I paid $0.00, why?

If you paid for a trip entirely in credits, the total charge amount will show as $0.00. As usual, any tip amounts are charged directly on your payment method.

Fare & Discounts

HUMAN app platform has four types of rider promotions: discounts, credits, coupons, and rewards.

Promotions may also be automatically applied to your account. Tap the Promos tab to see discounts, credits, coupons, and rewards.

When you enter a destination and start browsing all drivers, the app will show you the price before you submit your request to a specific driver. All drivers use upfront pricing because they want riders to know what their trip will cost in advance.

If your destination changes, a stop is added, or you attempt to abuse your driver or HUMAN app platform, the upfront price you saw will not apply anymore because the route has changed and the upfront price is for a specific chosen route.

Pricing when it is busy

All prices are different and set by each individual driver. We do not dictate drivers any prices due to the fact that they are not employees but 100% independent contractors who can set their own prices at any time. You can check different prices from different drivers before tapping on request a trip button. There is always a better price from a different driver, so simply browse all drivers with their prices to find most suitable price to your budget, turnaround, and vehicle that you prefer.

Keep in mind, when drivers are offline, they can increase their prices when it is busy, and likewise when it is slow, they can decrease their prices.

Destination changes

Trip charges are calculated before the trip. During your trip, if you change your destination, make multiple stops, or attempt to abuse your driver or HUMAN app platform, we may cancel the upfront fare quote and charge you a variable fare using your driver base rate, as well as rates per mile and minute.

Ratings

Drivers and riders are dealing with one another and decide on their own to have their next trip together or not by faving or blocking each other at any time after their trips ended. Therefore ratings can lead to irreparable events, even if such actions were triggered by a momentarily impulse of dislike or to personally and/or financially hurt another human being. Also five-star ratings is so last year, now is to fave, unfave, or block.
Having a clean car is a key part of the Human experience. It is relaxing for riders to ride in a spotless and nice-smelling car. You will e faved or blocked accordingly. Wash and vacuum your car at least once a week to keep it in tip-top condition.

The inside of your car should be 100% clear at all times. Make sure you do not leave papers, car seats or other items on your seats, so that all riders have a place to sit. Your trunk should also be cleared out so that riders with large bags do not have to hold them on their laps.

As a driver, you will see the best results when you provide a welcoming in-car experience for riders. Third-party advertisements are often unexpected in vehicles, making some riders feel uncomfortable or pressured. While the choice is up to you, keep in mind that this may cause a rider to unfave or even worse block you for good.

Update Driver Info

You can add new vehicles and change your current vehicles in the Vehicles tab in the driver app. Change between vehicles in the Vehicles tab by pausing or unpausing any vehicle. Keep in mind, if you unpause more than one vehicle then the top most vehicle in your list of vehicles will be the current vehicle to go online. Also, you cannot go online if every vehicle you have is paused.

Add a new vehicle:

• Open the driver app
• Tap Vehicles tab
• Tap Add Vehicle tab
• Fill the form out
• Upload required documents

Wait for our approval (within 24 hours), and that is it! We will let you know once we have approved the new car.

Required documents:

• Vehicle insurance photo
• Vehicle inspection photo
• Vehicle photo

The Add Vehicle form also includes rates that you wish to set your price per mile, your price per minute, and your price per base rate. These fields are unique to each vehicle you add to your account. In other words, different vehicles can have different rates. You can also edit your vehicle rates at any time before going online.

To edit a vehicle, tap on the vehicle of your choice in the list vehicles, to open Edit Vehicle form, this form has same fields as in Add Vehicle form except you can pause or unpause the vehicle. This is the best place where you can pick and choose a vehicle before going online.

Photos of your driver and vehicle documents are an important part of your account. We require these photos before we can approve you to drive. Document photos can take 24-48 hours for us to approve but sometimes longer. Sit tight, and we will reach out soon.

Account photo

A perfect driver account photo may get you faved by riders more often which lead to more business for you. Your account photo is your first and last impression on every rider. Here’s how to nail your account photo the first time:

• Stand in front of a plain background with even lighting
• If you have someone to help, ask them to stand 3 feet away, then focus the image
• Your photo must include both your shoulders and top of your head in the frame
• Remove accessories that cover your face like hats or sunglasses. This ensures you are easily recognizable to riders
Smile! A nice smile can help riders feel welcome in your ride
• Take your photo, then upload it to the Photo tab of your in-app Account

Driver license photo

We need a photo of your current and valid driver license so you can drive. Make sure the photo of your driver license:

• Is in focus, with no glare or reflection
• Is taken on a clean, flat surface
• Fits in the frame, so all the edges are visible

Drivers can only have one state to do the pickups on their account at a time. Currently, we operate in California and will expand as soon as possible.

Always keep your address updated in case we need to mail you anything, such as your tax forms or a HUMAN emblem if you request.
As a driver, you are required to keep photos and colors of the vehicles that you added to your account up to date. You cannot use any added vehicles to driver on HUMAN app platform unless photos match the vehicles 100 percent.

As a rider, it is important you know which vehicle to look for when requesting a ride. If you notice the vehicle icon or the vehicle photo are significantly different from the vehicle your driver arrives with, contact us below. Let us know what the specific difference is, and we will investigate.

To track your rides and update you while using the app, you must enable GPS/Location Services on your device and also have a mobile data connection.

Mobile data

The app must receive data through your mobile network to work. The app will become unresponsive if this setting is turned off.

App update

Update the app whenever there is a new release. This guarantees your access to the latest features and bug fixes. Check the Google Play Store for the latest version info. If the app has an update available, you will have the option to tap Update.

Having the most updated version of the app is important because it has the most recent features and bug fixes. Make sure you get the latest update with each new release.

Simply go to your phone app store:

• Google Play Store: HUMAN and HUMAN Driver

Search for HUMAN or HUMAN Driver and install. That's it!

App issues

Sometimes your app may freeze or not work correctly due to connectivity issues. Try the following:

• Force-quit your app and re-open it
• Toggle airplane mode on and off
• Restart your device

If you are unsure how to perform any of these functions, try an internet search or visit your local wireless store.

Troubleshooting

Use these tips to solve the most common device connectivity or app-freezing.

Signs of poor connectivity:

Connectivity can be challenging because each cellular network has different service areas in each city. Here are some common indications of poor connectivity:

• Trouble requesting a ride or logging into the app.
• App does not respond when using.
• Unable to accept ride requests.
• Cannot start or end a ride.
• Text message or pop-up notification about issues with connectivity or device reaching servers.

Phone setting tips to improve connectivity

Sometimes the default phone settings and the phone plan causes connectivity issues. See below for easy settings changes you can make for better connectivity to the app:

Update your phone software and settings: During your downtime, update your device software and settings. This can prevent future app issues.

Close any unnecessary apps: When using the app, try not to have other apps on in the background (if you can). Using multiple apps at the same time can impact the data that HUMAN relies on.

Toggle airplane mode on and off: If you are having connectivity issues or the app freezes, toggle airplane mode on for 10 seconds, then off. This will refresh your connection to your service provider network.

Move locations: You may be in an area that your carrier does not provide service in or an area with weak connection.

Restart your device: Switching your phone off and on again essentially resets it. Resetting your phone often resolves small glitches.

Turn Wi-Fi on, but do not connect to any network: This can help with GPS accuracy.

Set background app refresh to Wi-Fi only: Apps that run in the background may slow your phone down by using too much cellular data bandwidth.

How to fix frozen app

Sometimes your app may freeze, stop working, not respond, or display another error. Try these steps in order:

• Make sure you have the latest software and that your settings are updated.
• Close the app and any other apps running in the background of your device.
• Toggle airplane mode on and then off once to refresh your network connection.
• Shut down your device for at least 30 seconds, then restart it.

If you are unsure how to do any of the above steps, try an internet search or visit your local wireless store for personal help.

Whether you are a driver or a rider, it is important your email is updated and verified so we can send you receipts, alerts, and notifications. Here are the most common reasons and fixes if you are not receiving receipts or emails.

How to get HUMAN emails:

If you are not getting HUMAN emails, follow these steps:

Make sure your email address is correct. We may be sending emails to an old or incorrect email address. Update your email address in Account tab.

Search all messages in your inbox. Emails sometimes get lost in inboxes. In your inbox, search for phrases like HUMAN or words related to the email you are looking for.

Check your spam and other filters. It is possible your email provider mistakenly sent our messages to your spam or junk folder. To avoid this, remove HUMAN messages from your spam list.

Update your address book. Add emails that end in @norobocars.com to your address book.

If you have other filters or routing rules in your email account that may have sorted HUMAN emails elsewhere, check those too.

We know it is important for you to access your account when you need it. Follow these steps to make sure you can receive verification codes to solve login problems:

• Make sure you are registered first then try to login using the same email and password used during registration.
• If still cannot login then navigate to your registered email address box and find the welcome letter we sent you after registration that includes your login info.

As a driver, you need turn-by-turn directions, and your riders need to know where you are. The app sends location info to our servers, which helps us measure the distance and time you have driven. It also calculates your ride costs and earnings.

To accurately track rides, we need location updates from your GPS while you are driving. Here is how to make that happen.

Regardless of your device, there are several things you can do to fix poor location tracking. Use the following tips to improve GPS accuracy:

Plug your phone in: Devices attempt to conserve battery when they are not charging. For some devices, running on battery alone may mean location tracking is poor. Always keep your phone plugged in, even when fully charged.

Turn on WIFI and Bluetooth: All devices use WIFI and Bluetooth signals to locate your device. Turn both wifi and Ask to Join Networks on.

Use a phone mount: Location tracking works best when your phone has access through a window. If your phone is in your center console or pocket, you may experience poor location tracking. We recommend mounting your device on the windshield or dashboard using a mount.

Close unused apps: Close any unused apps, including those that use your location.

Keep your software and app current: Update to the latest phone software available. Android devices will release updates that may improve your phone location accuracy.

Buy a new phone: To get the most accurate GPS, we recommend upgrading to the newest phone model if you can. Older phones may have outdated GPS antennae, which can cause poor location tracking.

Do not talk and drive: Avoid making phone calls on your HUMAN-enabled device during a ride. Some networks disallow data usage and phone usage at the same time.

Start and stop safely: Only start or stop your rides in the app when your car is completely stopped. Stopping completely helps us track your location more accurately.

Wait a bit: GPS accuracy depends on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes. Give your phone a minute or two to find these satellites before getting on the road.

Adjust your time settings: Make sure the date, time, and time zone are correct on your device.

Always restart: When updating your software, app or settings, restart your device.

Causes of poor location tracking

There are three main issues that can lead to inaccurate location data:

• Incorrect phone settings.
• Poor in-car phone placement.
• Defective phones (in rare cases).

In general, poor connectivity does not cause tracking problems. The app stores location points and sends them when network quality is better.

If you find the app is not playing nice or cooperating with you, we would like to know! Screenshots are key when reporting technical issues, along with detailed descriptions of exactly what is happening in your own words.

How to attach a screenshot

After you have taken the screen shot, be sure you attach it when getting in touch with us.

• Each trip and each help article have GET TRIP HELP button or GET MORE HELP button, tap on it to access TRIP HELP view or MORE HELP view.
• Once navigated to one of the above views, you will see the photo box which is right below the issue field. The photo box lets you attach a screenshot of the issue you need to describe to get help with the trip or with the help in general.

We know it is important to get alerts and notifications. If you are not hearing these alerts, you may need to change your device settings. Sounds issues are difficult to fix because device settings and operating systems change often. We recommend visiting your service provider support team to solve any sound issues you have.

Anti-Discrimination

When it comes to transporting riders with service animals, drivers should remember one thing: Always Say Yes. You are required by the federal law to always accommodate service animals, even if you have an allergy, religious or cultural objections, or a fear of them. We know service animals can raise some questions for drivers, but they are essential for many people. Drivers like you are in a unique position to help riders with service animals get around effortlessly in their community - thanks for taking this seriously, and being there when people need your rides the most.

What is a service animal?

Service animals are working animals, not pets. Service animals undergo extensive training to assist individuals with disabilities. They help blind people travel, alert deaf people to sounds, protect persons who are having a seizure, and perform many other tasks to help individuals with disabilities. Service animals are not required to wear a tag or vest or be registered. Riders with service animals do not need to display any kind of proof that their animal is a service animal. In other words, if a rider with a dog says it is a service animal, the driver should transport the rider.

As an independent contractor, it is my choice to accommodate service animals!

We created HUMAN app platform for people who love flexibility and freedom, and that is still the case. But even independent contractors have to follow the federal law. For example, it is the federal law that you and your riders wear seatbelts while driving. Similarly, it is the federal law that you accommodate service animals.

What are the consequences for refusing to take a rider with a service animal?

If a driver refuses a rider with a service animal, the driver could face unfave and block by riders, and as result of it no business for the driver at all.

How can I tell if a service animal is a true service animal? What if I think a rider is misrepresenting their dog as a service animal?

The good news is that cases of service-animal fraud are rare and will put riders at risk of deactivation. But if you want, you may ask two questions of riders who report their animals are service animals: (1) Is the animal required because of a disability? And (2) what work or task has the animal been trained to perform? These questions will usually prove to you that the animal in question is a service animal. That said, we do not want you to risk your own deactivation by guessing incorrectly. Some riders use service animals for reasons that are not obvious, like epilepsy or heart conditions. Not all service animals wear tags, and they come in all shapes and sizes. For these reasons, it is best that you accommodate animals when they are reported to you by riders as being service animals. If you have a question about the federal law, you may contact us via GET MORE HELP below.

I am a driver with a service animal - what are the rules?

Drivers are permitted to ride with their service animals. However, this may limit the number of riders you can carry, and some riders may be uncomfortable or allergic around your service animal and will ask you to cancel their request. It is advised that you message the rider in advance to notify them of the service animal. If they are unable to ride with your service animal, you must cancel the ride so they can request another driver. Pro-tip: If the request came from nearby, go offline for a minute so that you do not receive next request from the same rider.

Am I required to transport animals that are not service animals?

If you ask the two questions above and the rider tells you that the animal is not a service animal, you have control to cancel the ride.

What is the best way to transport a service animal?

Many service animals are trained to ride in vehicles, or sit on the floor of the rear seat. Some drivers like to carry a towel or blanket in their vehicle, and place these items on the seats to protect them.

Discrimination against drivers or riders is not tolerated:

• Race
• Color
• National origin
• Religion
• Gender, gender identity or expression
• Physical or mental disability
• Medical condition
• Marital status
• Age
• Sexual orientation

We commit to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming community. Our mission is ensuring people who need rides most are able to get them. Refusing drivers or riders based on any of the protected characteristics listed above is a violation of our Terms of Service.

Riders may sometimes ask to bring their pets along for their ride. Unless the passenger has a service animal, it is up to the driver to allow the rider pet into their car. Riders should call their driver after requesting a ride to ask if they can bring their pet along. If your driver does not feel comfortable with having a pet in their car, you should cancel the ride and request a new one. Drivers are not allowed to bring their pets (non-service animals) along while they are driving. Some riders may be allergic or feel uncomfortable with unfamiliar animals.

Drivers are required by federal law to transport riders who use foldable mobility devices. Drivers are required to assist riders in the storage of their mobility devices, unless physically unable to do so.

Mobility devices include the following:

• Foldable wheelchair
• Foldable walker
• Foldable scooter
• Canes, crutches and other smaller assistive devices

Wheelchairs and scooters that can safely and securely fit in the vehicle trunk or backseat, without obstructing the driver view, must be accommodated by drivers.

Drivers may not deny service to or otherwise discriminate against individuals with disabilities. Drivers who are found to have refused service due to a mobility device are at risk for removal from the platform for violating Terms of Service.

Rider transfer

Coordinate a safe loading zone away from obstructing traffic. Many riders with manual wheelchairs do not require assistance, so consider asking the passenger with a disability, (Is there any way I can assist you?). If their answer is yes, let them instruct you first. Assistance does not always require lifting the rider. They will know their needs best and will tell you whether to hold the door open or how to help.

Wheelchair loading tips

Every device is different. Even if you have not been able to load a wheelchair in the past, it might be worth a try with these tips. Once the rider is safely in their seat, ask for device storage instructions before disassembling a wheelchair. Most wheelchairs will fit in your trunk or backseat, so consider keeping a blanket in your vehicle to lay over your seats. Wheelchairs are typically foldable or have a rigid frame.

Foldable wheelchairs

You will usually need to remove the seat cushion before folding the chair. Your rider may want to hold onto their chair, so ask them first.

Rigid-frame wheelchairs

Ask the rider where the eject button is on the bigger wheels. Tilt the chair to one side, press the button, and pull the wheel from the frame. Repeat this on the other side, but be careful to avoid getting spoke lubricant on your hands. If the rigid frame fits in your trunk, lay it next to its wheels. Otherwise, buckle it into one of your back seats. Some rigid-frame wheelchairs may even fit on a seat with the front wheels in the foot cubby. If you have a hatchback car, it might be possible to store a rigid-frame chair alongside two riders without disassembling the chair. Fold down one half of your back seat, then lock the wheelchair back wheels. Now load the chair into your trunk on its side.

If a wheelchair does not fit

Sometimes, larger wheelchairs cannot be accommodated. After making a reasonable effort to load the chair, drivers should cancel the ride.

Drivers who use wheelchairs

We welcome all drivers and encourage drivers who use wheelchairs to take full advantage of our platform. However, this may limit the number of riders you can carry depending on your type of wheelchair or vehicle set-up. It is advised that you message the rider in advance to notify them of the number of seats you have in your vehicle. If their party is too large to ride with you, please cancel the ride so they can request another driver. Alternatively, you can set a hard limit of seatbelts via your vehicle settings, so the rider can automatically be informed about the hard limit of seats in your vehicle.

Trust & Safety

The safety of our community is our top priority. We continue to work with Public Health authorities in the United States to provide information they need in response to infectious disease outbreaks such as coronavirus (COVID19). The information below outlines how to submit Public Health authority requests for user data and how we respond.

Public Health requests

We must have a signed request from the Public Healthy authority to provide user information for the investigation. The Public Health request should include:

• Certification that the Public Health authority legally requires release of the requested records
• A brief description of the Public Health concern under investigation
• A clear description of the information and the timeframe of the requested records (for example, the specific date and time of a relevant ride)
• Clear information of the subject of the health investigation (the person email and/or phone number)

Upon receiving a valid Public Health request, we will disclose data as required by law. This may include contact information of users or information about particular rides. See more details about this in our Privacy Policy.

Accepting Public Health requests

We accept service of these requests by email. Requests may be sent by email, including via secure email, to human@norobocars.com. Once we receive the request, our team will review and respond accordingly.

Notifying individuals of a Public Health request

It is our policy to provide notice to users when producing their information in response to a Public Health investigation unless:

• the law prohibits us from doing so
• the subject account is at risk and the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be damaging, or would create a safety risk
• disclosure or notice is not appropriate or necessary in accordance with our Privacy Policy

We may provide notice to users after we have provided information to the Public Health authority.

Actions on user accounts

We care about the safety of our community. Any reports of a driver or rider testing positive for any infections disease, such as COVID19, will not be able to use HUMAN app platform. They can resume using it only when they are medically cleared.

If you are a private party seeking user data from HUMAN for use in civil proceedings or in criminal proceedings on behalf of a criminal defendant, this page provides information on how to submit civil subpoenas or other 3rd party requests to HUMAN in order to receive prompt responses. When we receive civil subpoenas or 3rd party requests for user data, we review them very carefully according to applicable state and federal laws. It is our policy to notify users before data is disclosed as set forth in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

If you are law enforcement seeking user data related to a criminal investigation, please refer to our Law Enforcement Request Guidelines for instructions on how to submit law enforcement requests.

What type of legal process do we require before producing user information?

We review each subpoena or data request for validity, and will reject requests that are not facially and substantively valid. We require requests to be narrowly tailored, and limited in scope. Before making a request, please check to see if the information sought is publicly available or available from a party in the litigation.

In order to make sure your request is valid, please ensure your request contains the following:

• A sufficiently narrow time period, and the specific data requested within that time period
• A specific identifying reference such as an email or phone number (names and birthdays are insufficient)
• Your contact information (for example, name and email address and/or phone number)

When we determine that we are required by law to disclose data, we will search for and disclose data that we are reasonably able to locate and retrieve.

Serving civil subpoenas and 3rd party requests

We only respond to valid legal requests for user data (including subpoenas and court orders). This means that a subpoena or 3rd party request for data to be used in a civil case must be a valid Federal or California subpoena. Civil subpoenas issued in connection with a state case pending outside California must comply with California Interstate and International Depositions and Discovery Act.

You can serve us with the civil request through the appropriate office of HUMAN registered service agent, CT Corporation Service Company (or CT Corporation). The CT Corporation office in California is located at the following address:

• CT Corporation System, 818 West Seventh Street, Suite 930, Los Angeles, California 90017

For federal civil cases, subpoenas may be served through HUMAN registered agent for service of process in the state where the federal case is pending or the address provided above. Subpoenas related to any civil state case should be served on CT Corporation at the California address provided above. We will accept service only if the entity to whom the document is directed matches the name of the entity registered with the Secretary of State. Our acceptance of legal process does not waive any legal objections, rights, or remedies that we may have and may raise in response.

We are unable to accept service by email, fax, or regular mail.

Obtaining information from my own account

Individuals seeking user data through a civil subpoena or 3rd party request may find that a user can directly provide information. We email users a receipt after each trip with detailed information including: date, time, pickup and drop off locations, route, distance, duration, fare breakdown, method of payment, and user names. In addition, a user may access their profile at any time.

We require you to agree to the Health Safety Commitment to help keep our community safe. You are asked to do this in the app prior to going online as a driver or requesting trips as a rider. Please, tap to see Terms > Commitment tab for the Health Safety Commitment.

The health safety of the community is our top priority. We want to make sure HUMAN drivers and riders know the best ways to help protect themselves and others while on HUMAN app platform. We recommend following the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

• Never ride if you have COVID19, think you have it, or have related symptoms
• Wear a mask the entire ride
• Use hand sanitizer
• Turn off recirculated air, and keep windows down when possible
• Leave the front passenger seat open

In order to protect all of our community members, we have a set of guidelines to establish Trust and Safety within the community. The focus of these guidelines is to create a community grounded in the principles of Care, Respect, Trust, Inclusion and Transparency.

Always choose kindness

The people who drive and ride on HUMAN app platform have always gone out of their way to treat each other with care, dignity, and respect. And that is how you help keep our community welcoming for everyone:

• You go above and beyond basic human decency because sometimes everybody needs a little extra kindness.
• You find the right vibe when connecting with your driver or rider so everyone feels good about the conversation (or the silence, if you’re having that kind of day).
• You respect personal boundaries and keep your hands to yourself.
• You respect personal differences and keep your judgments to yourself, too.
• You take others comfort into account by making sure it is OK before sharing a personal story, making a phone call, or turning up the volume on your party playlist.
• You treat each other property like it is your own, and your driver car like it is a sacred space.
• You leave rowdy behavior, greasy snacks, and romantic gestures out of the car.

Put safety first

We want every ride to be safe for everyone, and it is on all of us to make it happen. You can help by holding yourself accountable to everyone in the car:

• You honor every part of our Health & Safety Commitment, which includes wearing your mask, leaving the front seat open, and keeping the car clean.
• You keep alcohol, cigarettes, and weapons out of the car, along with any illegal substances.
• You show up where and when you say you will.
• You use an accurate name and a profile picture that looks like you, even on bad hair days.
• You say yes to service animals because they are more than furry friends - they are eyes, ears, wheelchair handlers, and mobility and life support.
• You bring the appropriate car seat when you are traveling with kids.

Do your part

Whether you are sharing HUMAN love, expressing a concern, or bringing attention to an issue that impacts our communities, your voice helps make our time together even better:

• You mark drivers or riders as faved for great experiences, like excellent service, a squeaky-clean car, or just some good old-fashioned manners.

What if these guidelines are not for me?

We get it. Some of these guidelines are not for everyone. But behavior that violates them is not welcome when you are using HUMAN. Anyone who does not take these guidelines - and our Terms of Service - seriously may be permanently removed from the HUMAN app platform.

Safety is our top priority. Review our policies regarding driver and rider safety below.

Report safety issue or citation

During a trip or at any time, you can call 911 using in-app Safety view which is at the bottom left corner of the screen. Once there, you will be able to see your current location address as well as see it on the map (except when your current location cannot be determined by Google Maps or other GPS service providers that might be utilized at that time). Keep in mind that we will not be able to assist with citations or tickets incurred outside of HUMAN app platform, or due to violating standard traffic laws.

Age requirement

Unaccompanied minors are prohibited from traveling with most carriers, including TNCs. A rider must be 18 to sign up for an account, but if a driver believes a rider might be underage, the driver may ask the rider to confirm their age. The driver may also let a rider know that the driver will have to cancel the trip if the rider is indeed under 18. In addition, drivers can report requests to transport unaccompanied minors by tapping GET MORE HELP below.

Weapons policy

We have a strict No Weapons policy for all of its properties. Our No Weapons policy applies when you are doing business as a representative of HUMAN app platform, which includes times that you are using HUMAN app platform as a driver or rider. This means that even in places where it is legal to carry a weapon, we ask that you do not carry a weapon. We approach this from a community perspective. It is hard to know what someone else is or is not comfortable with. The mere presence of a weapon might make another community member distressed and fear for his or her own personal safety. At a minimum, a weapon includes any form of firearm. There are many items that could be considered weapons besides firearms, such as handguns, stun guns, explosives, knives, sling shots and tasers. We reserve sole judgment on what else may constitute a weapon. If you have any questions about whether various items could be considered a weapon under this policy, please contact us below before bringing any questionable items onto HUMAN app platform.

NOTE: The general policy above does not apply to authorized security personnel contracted or employed by HUMAN app platform or to law enforcement personnel.

If you witnessed possession of a weapon in a vehicle, please let us know by tapping GET MORE HELP below.

No-smoking policy

Smoking inside cars is against our community rules. There may be riders entering the car who have respiratory issues or may be bothered by the smell, so in the spirit of respect for everyone in our community, we ask that you refrain.

Recording device policy

Depending on local regulations, the use of dashboard cameras and other recording devices during rides may or may not be allowed. Some cities or states may require signage making known the presence of recording devices, while other regions may not allow recording devices at all. Please refer to your city and state regulations on recording devices when giving rides. Broadcasting another person image or recording without any warning or their express prior consent is prohibited and may result in your account being disabled.

Supporting Survivors of Sexual Assault and Harassment: Our Approach to Arbitration and Confidentiality

Since our launch in 2021, we have worked hard to design policies and features that protect our community, including driver background checks. We know people count on us to do the right thing, so we want to share our approach to arbitration and confidentiality in connection with the national issue of sexual harassment and sexual assault:

• Drivers, riders, and team members are free to resolve individual claims of sexual harassment or assault however they prefer. We will not require arbitration for individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Survivors can choose to resolve their claims through arbitration, through mediation, or in court.

• Survivors are free to speak out if they choose. We will not require a confidentiality provision that would prevent survivors from speaking about the facts of the sexual assault or harassment they suffered. Someone who has survived sexual assault or harassment may ask for a confidentiality provision in a settlement agreement, or they may decide to tell their story publicly to help end the stigma of silence for others. Whatever they decide, it will be their choice.

If we have information necessary to assist law enforcement or government agencies, we will make it available when presented with valid legal process. We have a dedicated online system for law enforcement officers to submit lawful requests for data, track requests, and obtain responsive data from us. We have a team of dedicated specialists who manage and promptly respond to all legal requests received from law enforcement agencies. To submit a request to our Law Enforcement Response Team (LER), law enforcement or government agencies conducting criminal investigations should submit their request through the Law Enforcement Online Request System. This system is the central place for law enforcement to securely submit requests to our LER Specialists. Please note that acceptance of legal process by these means is for convenience and does not waive any objections, including, but not limited to, lack of jurisdiction or proper service.

Please review the below Guidelines prior to submitting a request. These legal process guidelines are designed to help government and law enforcement agencies understand the data we have and how to properly submit requests in order to receive prompt responses.

Law Enforcement Request Guidelines

The following guidelines are intended to provide guidance to law enforcement officials about the legal process for seeking records from us.

What is HUMAN app platform and what records do we have?

HUMAN app platform is a technology company that operates an application, website, and technology platform which provides a marketplace where persons who seek transportation to certain destinations (Riders) can be matched with transportation options to such destinations. One option for Riders is to request a ride from rideshare drivers who are driving to or through those destinations (Drivers)(collectively Users). Users authorize HUMAN app platform to match them with a Driver or Rider based on factors such as location, the estimated time to pickup, destination, user preferences, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations. HUMAN app platform does not provide transportation services, and HUMAN app platform is not a transportation carrier. Riders can use the application to request a ride from a driver using HUMAN app platform via their smartphone. If using the platform to request ride from a driver, both the rider and driver receive a copy of the fare receipt. We store and maintain information as described in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Notwithstanding anything in our Privacy Policy that may otherwise allow disclosure, this Law Enforcement Request policy shall govern how we will respond to law enforcement requests for User information.

What type of legal process do we require before producing user information?

We will disclose responsive business records regarding Users or trips in accordance with our terms, policies, and applicable law. Some general principles are set forth here, but may not apply in every case. We require valid and sufficient legal process before disclosing any business records. We will not be able to produce any records unless we receive a subpoena issued in connection with an official criminal investigation to compel the disclosure of basic information. We require a search warrant issued pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or equivalent state warrant to compel disclosure of certain communications between people using HUMAN app platform or GPS location information. The warrant must demonstrate that probable cause exists in order for us to disclose such communications or GPS location information. Exceptions to these requirements may be available for emergency and exigent requests, where a user has provided consent, or - for requests that do not require a warrant - where other legal or regulatory standards apply.

What form of requests do we require?

We are unable to process overly broad, vague, or unduly burdensome requests. Please ensure that your request is narrowly tailored to a legitimate law enforcement need. We will only consider law enforcement requests that satisfy the applicable process above and adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Requests must be typed; handwritten requests will not be accepted;
2. Duly signed and stamped by the appropriate law enforcement officer who is empowered by local law to represent the law enforcement unit that is making the request;
3. In compliance with local and United States law; and
4. Addressed to HUMAN app platform directly.

Requests must contain the following detailed information:

• All known email addresses, names, and aliases of data subject or all known physical addresses and telephone numbers of the data subject;
• Your name, department, title, street address, telephone number and official government domain email address;
• Clearly identify the investigation or specific event that took place that is the underlying basis for the request;
• Specify date/time/location(s);
• Exactly what information you are requesting, why you are requesting it, and how it pertains to your investigation; and
• If applicable, Non-Disclosure Order issued by a Court or relevant legal authority supporting non-disclosure.
• The applicable act or law under which the law enforcement agency is requesting the data.

We disclose data to law enforcement and other government agencies when we determine that we are required to do so by law. In those instances, we will search for and disclose data that we are reasonably able to locate and retrieve. We will challenge any National Security Letter it receives, and will require the government to obtain an order from a court requiring its compliance. Please note that we only review and respond to requests from law enforcement or government agencies submitted through this system. We will not respond to requests or civil subpoenas sent by non-law enforcement officials. For questions relating to submitting third party civil requests or subpoenas you may see our 3rd party request guidelines which can be found in the list of help articles.

How do we handle emergency requests?

We have a process for evaluating requests on an expedited basis where an emergency situation exists involving an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm to a person. If Law enforcement seeks information to assist in the handling of an emergency or exigent situation, we may produce information in the absence of a subpoena or warrant where evidence is provided demonstrating an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm to a person. In these events, we require that valid and sufficient legal process be produced within three days of production of the information. Emergency requests may be submitted directly to Law Enforcement Response Team as set forth here. When submitting requests, Law Enforcement officials should note in the subject line: Emergency Disclosure Request and describe in detail the nature of the emergency. We review these requests on a case-by-case basis. Please note that we will only review and respond to emergency requests from law enforcement. We will not respond to emergency requests sent to this address by non-law enforcement officials. Non-law enforcement officials aware of an emergency situation should immediately and directly contact local law enforcement officials.

How do we handle public health requests?

If you are a public health organization seeking to notify us of a public health matter and/or request information, please email human@norobocars.com. More information on Public Health Request Guidelines and Process can be found in the list of help articles. Requests submitted to the Law Enforcement Response team will be reviewed and responded promptly.

Do we notify individuals of a law enforcement request for information relating to them?

It is our policy to provide notice to Users before producing their information in response to a criminal investigation by law enforcement unless (i) we are prohibited by law from doing so, (ii) we have reason to believe the subject account has been compromised such that the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or (iii) it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical (in which case we may provide notice after the fact). Law enforcement officials who do not want their request disclosed must provide an appropriate court order or process establishing that notice is prohibited, or provide sufficient detail for us to determine whether a request falls into one of the exceptions above. Regulatory or other non-criminal requests for information are not within the scope of this policy. In the event that information is provided subject to a gag order or disclosed pursuant to an emergency request, we will provide notice to its users of these government demands if we are thereafter notified that the gag order or the emergency has expired.

We have a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy for drivers.

Reporting zero-tolerance concerns

If you suspect that a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, call the authorities by dialing 911 or your local non-emergency assistance line if necessary. Then, cancel the ride and mark driver as blocked from any future encounters. If this relates to a driver in California, you may also contact the Passenger Section of the California Public Utilities Commission at (800) 894-9444 or ciu_intake@cpuc.ca.gov.

Riders

Be sure to toss that adult beverage before your driver arrives. Open containers are not allowed in the car, and turning a blind eye to them can result in deactivation from our platform.

Partnerships

Thinking of using us at your next big event? Our marketing team is always interested in new partnerships!

You can email a partnership request to human@norobocars.com. Provide all relevant information specific to your request to get the quickest response. We will be in touch if it is a good match.

Terms

We pride ourselves on our amazing community of drivers and riders. Here is a breakdown of our policies around the different uses for HUMAN app platform.

Children 17 and under

Children are more than welcome to join you in a ride, but they cannot ride without an adult. You should plan on bringing your own car seat for children that need one. Car seats must fit legal requirements in your state and city.

Wheelchairs

Riders with fixed-frame wheelchairs can turn on Access Mode to request rides. In regions where Access Mode is available, riders can request wheelchair-accessible vehicles. All drivers are required by federal law and policy to transport riders who use foldable mobility devices.

Pets

We love your four-legged friends but not everyone is comfortable with having animals in their car. If you want to bring a pet along, message your driver once they accept your ride request.

Service animals

Our policy states drivers are required to reasonably accommodate riders with service animals.

Bringing friends

You are welcome to bring along friends on your ride, however your driver can set their own number of available seatbelts which can be less than the actual number of seatbelts, as result there is a hard maximum of riders that the driver will accept. Prior to requesting a driver please check what is the hard max of seats in their vehicle, as it is displayed right next to the price for your request.

Running errands

We love seeing community members help each other out, so we see running errands as a great part of the experience. When making multiple stops, keep in mind that drivers are just like you and may have other plans later in the day. If you are making a stop or going to leave the car for more than 10 minutes, ask the driver to end the ride. Then, request a new ride when you are ready to go to your next destination.

We absolutely love and encourage creativity in the community. All drivers represent the brand, and help to create goodwill for HUMAN and its sterling reputation. We must ensure that all of the company marks are used consistently and only with permission. As it turns out, this means that it is not okay for anyone outside HUMAN HQ to use the HUMAN name or company emblems, such as HUMAN logo, on merchandise or printed materials. Only materials provided by HUMAN HQ can be used to promote the company and the HUMAN app.

The HUMAN Beta app is where we test our newest features and app updates. The HUMAN Beta app functions just like the normal HUMAN app, only you get to help us hunt bugs, improve usability, and try features before public release. You must request access to join HUMAN Beta to take part. If you are accepted to be a HUMAN Beta tester, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download the HUMAN Beta app.

US Airport Regulations

To ensure a smooth airport experience for you and your drivers, make sure to familiarize yourself with the list below. We encourage you to never request for pickups or dropoffs at prohibited airports.

Prohibited airports

• Camarillo Airport (KCMA)
• Merced Regional Airport (MCE)
• Mojave Airport (MHV)
• Napa County Airport (APC)
• Ramona Airport (KRNM)
• Sacramento Executive (SAC)
• Sacramento Mather Airport (MHR)
• San Bernardino International (SBD)
• Ventura County Airport (OXR)
• Southern California Logistics Airport (VCV)

To ensure a smooth airport experience for you and your riders, make sure to familiarize yourself with the rules below.

The following information applies to all airports:

Airport officials will issue administrative citations to drivers who do not follow the rules. You are responsible for paying any tickets you receive for violating airport rules and regulations.

• Keep your emblem displayed in your lower right hand (passenger side) of your front windshield at all times while giving rides.
• If you have just been approved to drive, you should receive your emblem shortly. If you did not get one or need one, you may print a temporary emblem.

Conduct at the airport

• Do not stop or pull over in crosswalks.
• Do not park in red zones or taxi/shuttle areas unless otherwise specified in the rules above.
• Always follow instructions given by airport personnel.
• All forms of advertising (vehicular & non-vehicular) are prohibited when operating at the airport including in the vehicle staging lot and pickup/drop-off areas.
• Airport authorities may ask you to show your latest ride.

Prohibited airports

California airports listed below have all operations currently prohibited - including pickups and drop-offs:

• Camarillo Airport (KCMA)
• Merced Regional Airport (MCE)
• Mojave Airport (MHV)
• Napa County Airport (APC)
• Ramona Airport (KRNM)
• Sacramento Executive (SAC)
• Sacramento Mather Airport (MHR)
• San Bernardino International (SBD)
• Ventura County Airport (OXR)
• Southern California Logistics Airport (VCV)

How to redirect a prohibited airport request

If your city airport is prohibited for pickups, the app will prevent airport pickup requests from being made. If a rider moves their pin outside airport property, and asks you to come pick them up at the airport, kindly inform them that you are not authorized to, and they will need to find alternate means of transportation.

Drop-offs can be trickier. If a rider asks you to take them to a prohibited airport, here are some tips on how to make the conversation go smoothly:

1. Offer to take them to a nearby destination. Note: drop-offs at rental car agencies and flight schools are currently prohibited at this time.
2. Apologize, and politely cancel the ride.

Permitted airports

As a driver on the HUMAN app platform, it is important that you know and follow airport regulations. While we have worked hard to reach agreements with many California airports, there are other California airports where we do not currently have permission to operate. If you conduct any operations at a prohibited airport (see Prohibited airports section above), officials are issuing citations and HUMAN app platform is prevented from covering any costs for those prohibited airport rides. Even if you conduct permitted operations at an authorized airport, you still must follow airport regulations (for example, trade dress). If you get cited for violating airport regulations, HUMAN app platform is not responsible for these citations. As a driver, you are responsible for the cost of any such citation from the airport. Failure to comply with airport regulations may result in a deactivation of your driver account. We are available at the following airports in California:

• Bakersfield Airport (BFL)
