- Payment Terms.
5.1 Payment Method & Payments. You may be required to provide Bird with a valid credit card, debit card, or other payment account (“Payment Method”) in order to use certain Services, including Rental Services provided by Bird or a Platform Partner. When you add a Payment Method to your Bird account, you will be asked to provide customary billing information. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when adding a Payment Method and it is your obligation to keep your Payment Method up-to-date at all times.
You represent and warrant to Bird that you are authorized to use any Payment Method you furnish to Bird. You authorize Bird to charge the Payment Method for all fees incurred by you with respect to Rental Services (or other services offered by Bird or Platform Partners from time to time), including applicable sales, use, HST/GST and other provincial or local government charges. If you dispute any charge on your account, you must contact Bird within 10 business days from the end of the month within which the disputed charge occurred, and provide to Bird all trip information that is necessary to identify the disputed charge, such as the date of the trip and the approximate starting and ending times of the ride associated with the disputed charge. You agree to immediately inform Bird of all changes relating to the Payment Method.
5.2 Auto-Update. Bird or its Platform Partner may require or make available an option for you to preload a balance associated with your account and automatically make payments on a recurring basis (“Auto-Update”). By enabling Auto-Update, you opt to automatically reload your account balance each time your account reaches or falls below zero or another specified amount. Bird or its affiliates or Platform Partners may, at any time, without any notice to you, discontinue Auto-Update.
To use Auto-Update, you may be required to choose: (a) the balance amount at which you wish to automatically load your account balance, and/or (b) the amount you wish to load/add (such amount, “Auto-Update Amount”).
If your account is eligible for a bonus for your Auto-Update selection (“Auto-Update Bonus”), your Auto-Update Bonus will be charged first for using the applicable Rental Services. Auto-Update Bonus amounts may only be used for Rental Services, and Auto-Update Bonus amounts are not recoverable if your account is closed for any reason.
We reserve the right to decide the Payment Methods eligible for Auto-Update. You may change your Payment Method for Auto-Update at any time, provided such Payment Method is eligible for Auto-Update.
You may only use the Auto-Update balance in the currency in which your Payment Method was charged. In case you make use of Rental Services that are charged in a currency different than the one in your Auto-Update balance, Bird may charge your Payment Method directly.
You may cancel or disable Auto Update in the settings/preferences of your account on the Bird application. In the event: (a) you cancel or disable Auto-Update of your Bird account balance; or (b) one of your automatic payments is declined, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, expiry of your card: the Auto-Update Amount will not be added to your account balance. In such scenarios, you may be required to separately load your account balance.
We may choose to notify you, through email or SMS, once your account balance reaches or falls below zero. You authorize us to communicate with you through emails or SMS in connection with Auto-Update. You acknowledge that we may also communicate with you through any of our affiliate(s).
Payment Facilitators. You agree, understand and acknowledge that Bird may engage third party payment processors / gateway service providers to facilitate processing of payments, including Auto-Update. Accordingly, you may be required to follow any terms and conditions of such third party payment processors/gateway service providers, as communicated to you, from time to time. - Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
6.1 Initial Dispute Resolution. The Bird application contains means to receive support and address any concerns you may have regarding your use of Rental Services. The parties shall use their best efforts through this support process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating mediation, arbitration, or a lawsuit.
6.2 Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution through the support process, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, and the parties’ relationship with each other shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by a mutually agreed upon arbitrator or arbitration service.The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Bird will pay the additional cost. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
i. Location. The arbitration will take place in Toronto, Ontario or a mutually agreed upon location.
ii. Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND BIRD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
iii. Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
iv. Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Bird Canada Inc. 161 Bay Street Suite 2300 Toronto, Ontario M5J 2S1. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Bird also will not be bound by them.
v. Changes to this Section. Bird will provide prior written notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective only after prior written notice and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the notice period. - Solicited Submission Policy. Where Bird has specifically invited or requested submissions or comments, Bird encourages you to submit content to Bird that you have created for consideration in connection with such requests (“User Submissions”). User Submissions remains the intellectual property of the individual user. By submitting content to Bird, you expressly grant Bird a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up worldwide, fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform and display such content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Submission, in whole or in part, and in any form throughout the world in any media or technology, whether now known or hereafter discovered, including all promotion, advertising, marketing, merchandising, publicity and any other ancillary uses thereof, and including the unfettered right to sublicense such rights, in perpetuity throughout the universe. Any such User Submissions are deemed non-confidential and Bird shall be under no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any information, in whatever form, contained in any User Submission.
- Inappropriate User Submissions.

Bird will reject any User Submissions in which Bird believes, in its sole discretion, that any such activities have occurred. If notified by a user of a submission that allegedly violates any provision of these Terms of Use, Bird reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, if such a violation has occurred, and to remove any such submission from the Services at any time and without notice.
- Inappropriate Material. You are prohibited from using the Services to post or send any unlawful, infringing, threatening, defamatory, libelous, obscene, pornographic or profane material or any material that infringes or misappropriates third party intellectual property or could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or otherwise violate any law.

Users shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages and Bird shall have no obligation to prescreen any such content. However, we shall have the right in our sole discretion to edit, refuse to post or remove any material submitted to or posted on the Services at any time without notice.
