Lyft Business Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 22, 2023

These Lyft Business Terms of Service (“LB Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement by and between the company identified within this sign-up page or the contract into which these LB Terms are incorporated (“Customer”, “You”) and Lyft, Inc. (“Lyft”) (each, a “party” and together, the “parties”). If you are registering for a Customer Account or using the LB Services (each as defined below) on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to this Agreement for that organization and representing and warranting to Lyft that you have the authority to bind that organization to this Agreement. These LB Terms set forth the terms under which Customer may access and use the Lyft Platform (as defined below) and the LB Services to request Rides and to administer, manage, and view Ride activity.

Customer’s access to and use of the LB Services is subject to these LB Terms, as may be modified or updated by Lyft from time to time (effective upon the Last Updated date at the top of the LB Terms), the LB Product Descriptions (as defined below), which are expressly incorporated herein, and the Lyft Privacy Policy (as defined below), which is expressly incorporated herein, (collectively, the “Agreement”). Lyft will provide Customer with notice of any material modifications or updates to the LB Terms through the email Lyft has on file, or through the Customer Account, and by updating the date at the top of these LB Terms. Customer is responsible for updating contact information through the Customer Account and regularly reviewing these LB Terms and the LB Product Descriptions for updates from Lyft. Continued use of the LB Services from and after the Last Updated date at the top of these LB Terms shall constitute Customer’s consent to such changes. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in these LB Terms have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the LB Product Descriptions.

By entering into this Agreement, registering for a Customer Account, and/or by using or accessing the LB Services, You expressly acknowledge and agree that You understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms. You further acknowledge and agree that if You or the entity accessing the LB Services is a Covered Entity or a Business Associate of a Covered Entity, as those terms are defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, (“HIPAA”) and You or such entity uses the LB Services to enable Riders to receive access to Rides to and/or from healthcare services, and discloses Protected Health Information (as defined by HIPAA) to Lyft, then Lyft’s Business Associate Agreement shall apply and is incorporated herein and shall form part of this Agreement between You and Lyft.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE LYFT PLATFORM AND LB SERVICES.

If You use the Lyft Platform or the LB Services in a country other than the United States of America, You agree that Your use of the Lyft Platform and the LB Services in that country will be subject to this Agreement and the applicable country-specific terms, if any.

4. Charges and Payment

Payment Obligations. As applicable to the specific LB Services and as generally described in the LB Product Descriptions, Customer and/or Rider will be liable for all Charges incurred through use of the LB Services. Lyft offers billing and payment options for each LB Service, as such options generally are described in the LB Product Descriptions.
Payment Card. For Charges that are paid via payment card, Customer is responsible for either (i) enabling auto-recharge on the payment card or (ii) ensuring that the payment card has a sufficient positive balance to cover the Charges due. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lyft may use a third-party intermediary to process credit and debit card payments, in which case such third-party intermediary will have access to, store, and use Customer’s billing data as necessary to process its payment.
Invoicing. For payments via invoicing, Lyft will invoice Customer for all applicable Charges on a monthly basis. All invoices shall be paid, without offset or deductions, within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. If Customer is overdue on any payment, Lyft may (i) assess, and Customer will pay, a late fee of the lesser of 1.5% per month of the overdue amounts or the maximum amount allowable by law, and/or (ii) suspend the LB Services associated with Customer's account until such non-payment is corrected. Any Customer purchase order document or other similar document shall be void and of no effect with regard to this Agreement.
Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for the payment of any applicable direct or indirect sales or use taxes or any value added or similar taxes payable, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), other than taxes based upon Lyft's income. If Lyft pays any such Taxes on behalf of Customer, Lyft shall invoice Customer for such Taxes, and Customer agrees to pay such Taxes in accordance with this Agreement.
Suspension. If the Charges generated by Customer’s use of the Lyft Platform or the LB Services exceed any payment card limit, or if Customer otherwise fails to pay any amounts due under this Section 4, without prior notice to Customer, Lyft may suspend Customer’s access to the Lyft Platform for such Customer Account until such non-payment is corrected. Lyft will have no liability for any damage, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that Customer may incur in connection with any suspension of the Lyft Platform and/or the LB Services pursuant to this Section 4.

5. Proprietary Rights

Ownership. Lyft and its Affiliates are and shall remain the owners of all right, title and interest in and to the Lyft Platform and the LB Services, including updates, enhancements, and new versions thereof, all data related to the use of the Lyft Platform and the LB Services, all related documentation and materials provided or available to Customer or any Rider in connection with this Agreement, and all intellectual property related to the foregoing.
Feedback. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about Lyft, the Lyft Platform, and/or the LB Services (“Feedback”) provided by Customer or any Rider to Lyft are optional, anonymized, non-confidential and shall become the sole property of Lyft. Lyft shall have exclusive rights to Feedback, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without notice, acknowledgment or compensation to Customer or any Rider.
Use of Marks. During the Term and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer grants to Lyft a non-exclusive, limited, revocable right to use and display Customer's name and logo (the “Customer Marks”) and Customer’s Use Case(s) (as defined below) on its website, in its earnings calls, in press releases, and in other promotional materials solely in connection with its activities under this Agreement. A “Use Case” means a general description of how Customer uses the Lyft Platform and the LB Services (e.g., corporate travel). All such use of the Customer Marks must be in accordance with Customer's usage guidelines as provided by Customer, if any, and all goodwill associated with the Customer Marks will inure to the benefit of Customer. Customer may not use Lyft’s name, logo, and other Lyft trademarks (the “Lyft Marks”) or anything confusingly similar therewith, whether registered or not, without Lyft’s prior written consent. Customer will not, at any time, misrepresent its relationship with Lyft. Customer will not make any statements pertaining to Lyft, its Affiliates, the Lyft Marks, Lyft’s products or services or any other event or occurrence involving Lyft, if such statements may negatively affect Lyft’s reputation, present Lyft in the negative light, claim any rights in the Lyft Marks, degrade the distinctiveness of the Lyft Marks, or disparage or misrepresent Lyft, its products or services. Customer will not directly or indirectly challenge the validity or enforceability of any Lyft Marks, or otherwise do anything to diminish the value of the Lyft Marks or the goodwill associated therewith.
Data. All information provided by Customer through its use of the Lyft Platform or the LB Services as received, collected, compiled, aggregated or produced by Lyft in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to, the information contained within the LB Portal and the Customer Account, shall be governed by the terms of the Lyft Privacy Policy, and Lyft shall have the right to use such data as set forth in the Lyft Privacy Policy. All information provided by a Rider through its use of the Lyft App shall be governed by the Lyft Terms of Service, including the Lyft Privacy Policy, and Lyft shall have the right to use such data as set forth in the Lyft Privacy Policy. For avoidance of doubt, Lyft may disclose such information to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise as required by law, without notice to Customer or Riders. Lyft determines the extent to which such data will be made available to Customers. Additionally, Lyft reserves the right to add, remove, and update features and functionality related to such data at any time and will not be responsible for any loss of data or any other damages. Customer agrees to use the data contained within Customer Account, the LB Portal, or any reports solely for legitimate business purposes related to managing and administering the LB Services including, but not limited to, business expense processing, accounting, program management, and budgeting purposes.

6. Notice and Consents

Notices. Customer acknowledges that certain LB Services require or allow Customer to provide name, phone number, and/or email address of Riders or other individuals to Lyft. As applicable to the LB Services, Customer is obligated to notify, and shall notify, Riders that Customer will receive information related to certain Rides, including but not limited to, for example, name of Rider, time of Ride, and Ride cost. For Rides requested via Concierge, Customer will ensure that those Riders consent to the following terms: “By accepting Lyft Concierge Ride services, you consent to Lyft’s Terms of Service, which are available at https://www.lyft.com/terms.”
Data Usage. Customer consents, and represents and warrants that it has obtained consent on behalf of each Rider to allow Lyft to use any information provided by Customer to (i) provide the LB Services; (ii) transmit a Ride request via the Lyft Platform to available Drivers; (iii) send automated transactional communications, including but not limited to SMS texts or phone calls, relating to a Ride or the provision of the LB Services; (iv) share the information with the Driver who accepted the Ride request, provided that the Driver will only receive the first name of the Rider and pick up and drop off location; and (v) collect, use, and share the information, subject to the Lyft Privacy Policy. At Customer’s direction, Lyft may share Customer or Rider information with (x) Customer’s authorized vendors, service providers, and subcontractors for purposes of performing its obligations hereunder and (y) TM Vendors in accordance with the privacy policies of such TM Vendors as set forth in Section 6(c) below.
Travel Management Vendors. If Customer contracts with a third-party expense or travel management vendor (a “TM Vendor”) with respect to LB Services selected on an Order Form, then Customer may request, in writing to Lyft, that Lyft disclose certain Customer and Rider data to such TM Vendor. Upon receipt and acceptance of such a request, Lyft will release data to TM Vendor in accordance with the terms of this Section and on a frequency and method to be agreed between Lyft and Customer and/or TM Vendor. Customer acknowledges and agrees that such data may contain information specific to its Riders, and Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained all necessary consents from Riders for Lyft to share such Customer data with TM Vendor according to the privacy policies of the TM Vendor.
Record Maintenance. Customer agrees that it shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate all applicable and necessary consents under this Section 6, and Customer agrees to make such records available to Lyft promptly, and no later than ten (10) days after receiving a request from Lyft for such records. Customer shall maintain such records for a period of not less than six (6) years from the last Ride request submitted for a Rider.

ANY LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS OR INCIDENTS RELATED TO CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH.

8. DISCLAIMER

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LYFT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LYFT PLATFORM AND/OR THE LB SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND ALL WARRANTIES RELATED TO THIRD-PARTY EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, SERVICES OR SOFTWARE. LYFT PROVIDES THE LYFT PLATFORM AND THE LB SERVICES “AS IS.” LYFT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE LYFT PLATFORM AND/OR THE LB SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE LYFT PLATFORM AND/OR THE LB SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. LYFT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY OF DRIVERS OR WARRANT THAT ANY PARTICULAR RIDE REQUEST WILL BE ACCEPTED OR FULFILLED. TO THE EXTENT THIS DISCLAIMER CONFLICTS WITH APPLICABLE LAW, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE WARRANTY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER THAT LAW.

9. Confidentiality

Definition. “Confidential Information” is any information, technical data, or know-how furnished by a party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”), whether written, electronic, oral or other form that: (i) is marked, accompanied, or supported by documents clearly designating the information as “confidential” or “proprietary”; (ii) is identified by Discloser as confidential before, during or promptly after the presentation or communication; or (iii) should reasonably be known by Recipient to be confidential.
Protection of Confidential Information. Recipient shall use the Confidential Information solely to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement, and all Confidential Information shall remain at all times the sole and exclusive property of Discloser. Recipient shall not disclose or permit disclosure of any Confidential Information of Discloser to third parties, except that Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, or contractors who have a need to know such information and are subject to enforceable obligations, no less stringent than those set forth herein, to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Each party agrees that it shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure or use of Confidential Information of the other party in order to prevent it from falling into the public domain or the possession of persons other than those persons authorized under this Agreement to have any such information. Such measures shall include, but not be limited to, the highest degree of care that Recipient utilizes to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, which shall be no less than a standard of reasonable care. Confidential Information does not include any information or materials disclosed to the Recipient by Discloser which Recipient can demonstrate by means of written evidence: (i) was already rightfully known to Recipient at the time of its receipt hereunder as shown by contemporaneous documents in the Recipient’s files; (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than by means of the Recipient’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) is independently obtained from a third party whose disclosure violates no duty of confidentiality; or (iv) is independently developed by or on behalf of the Recipient as shown by contemporaneous documents in Recipient’s files without the use of or reliance on any Confidential Information of Discloser.
Compelled Disclosure. If Recipient receives a subpoena or other validly issued administrative or judicial process demanding the disclosure of Confidential Information or is otherwise required by Law to disclose Confidential Information, Recipient will provide Discloser with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Discloser may provide a redacted copy of the record and assert any defenses to disclosure of Confidential Information that may be available. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if Discloser waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Recipient will furnish that portion (and only that portion) of Confidential Information that it is legally compelled or is otherwise legally required to disclose and shall use any available authorities to redact personal or business confidential information from such records to the extent consistent with applicable Law or the final judgment. Confidential Information disclosed by Discloser to Recipient will at all times remain the property of Discloser.

If Customer is a public entity and receives a request for Lyft’s Confidential Information under applicable public records laws, Customer shall, unless prohibited by applicable law, (a) promptly notify Lyft of such request; (b) deny the request and/or provide Lyft with reasonable opportunity to object to disclosure; and (c) reasonably cooperate in any efforts made by Lyft to prevent disclosure. If Customer is nonetheless legally compelled or required to release Lyft Confidential Information, Customer will furnish that portion (and only that portion) of Lyft Confidential Information that it is legally compelled or is otherwise legally required to disclose.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, each party will be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement during the period of force majeure.

14. Governing Law

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

This Agreement will be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and/or assignees.

17. Miscellaneous

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials or presentations and agreements, oral and written between the parties. No oral or written information or advice given by Lyft, its agents, or employees will create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties in this Agreement. Customer’s use of the Lyft Platform and the LB Services is subject to this Agreement, as may be modified or updated by Lyft from time to time.
