Subscription charges are payable by Riders for the use of the Schoolber Platforms’ scheduling and calendaring function (“Subscription Charges”). The current annual rates (which may be revised from time to time by Schoolber at its sole discretion) are set out below:
- 1 trip a day: $30 per year

5.1.2 Rider Charges
You understand that use of the Schoolber Platforms for the provision of services from a Driver may result in you incurring charges payable for the services (“Rider Charges”). After you have received services obtained through your use of the Schoolber Platforms, Schoolber will facilitate your payment of the applicable Rider Charges on behalf of the Driver as such Driver’s limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Rider Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Driver. Rider Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Rider Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Schoolber.
All Rider Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Schoolber using the preferred payment method designated in your Account. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Schoolber may, as the Driver’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.
As between you and Schoolber, Schoolber reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Rider Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Schoolber Platforms at any time at Schoolber’s sole discretion. Schoolber will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Rider Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Rider Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Rider Charges or the amounts thereof.
You may elect to cancel your request for a ride from a Driver, not applying to Full Time Driver assigned by Schoolber, at any time prior to such Driver’s arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.

Schoolber also does not guarantee the quality, suitability or ability of the Driver, and recommends that parents exercise their discretion in selecting a Driver.
