Affiliate Partner Agreement
This Affiliate Partner Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Premium Lane LLC ("MIUUM," "we," "us") and the transportation company that applies to and is approved for the MIUUM Affiliate Partner Program (the "Partner," "you"). By submitting an application, and again each time you or your chauffeurs accept a ride offer through the affiliate portal, you agree to these terms.
1.The program
The Affiliate Partner Program lets approved transportation companies receive ride offers from MIUUM, accept the ones they choose, and complete them with their own approved chauffeurs and vehicles for a stated payout. Participation is free: there is no joining fee, no monthly fee, and no minimum volume. Approval is at MIUUM's discretion, and we may decline or revoke access as described in Section 12.
2.Independent contractor
You are an independent contractor operating your own transportation business. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, joint venture, franchise, partnership, or general agency relationship. Your chauffeurs are your personnel, not ours; you are solely responsible for their hiring, supervision, wages, benefits, taxes, workers' compensation, and compliance with employment law. You have no authority to sign for or bind MIUUM, and you agree not to represent otherwise.
3.Licensing, insurance, and permits
- You must hold and maintain, at your own cost, all licenses, commercial automobile liability insurance, and operating authority required for chauffeured transportation in every county you serve.
- You must hold the airport and seaport permits required for any pickup or drop-off you accept. Accepting an airport ride without the applicable permit is a breach of this Agreement.
- Your chauffeurs must hold valid driver's licenses and any chauffeur license their jurisdiction requires.
- You will keep proof of the above current in the portal. Documents carry expiration dates, and the system automatically withdraws a chauffeur or vehicle from service when a document expires. Expired chauffeurs and vehicles receive no ride offers until renewed documents are uploaded and approved.
4.Approval of chauffeurs and vehicles
- Every chauffeur and vehicle must be submitted through the portal and approved by MIUUM before it may be used on any MIUUM ride. You request a vehicle class; MIUUM sets the final class, passenger count, and luggage capacity.
- Rides may only be completed in vehicles registered and approved in the MIUUM system, driven by approved chauffeurs. Completing a ride in an unapproved vehicle or with an unapproved driver is a serious violation and grounds for immediate termination.
- Editing an existing chauffeur or vehicle returns it to pending status for re-approval.
- Ride offers are filtered by what your approved fleet can serve. MIUUM does not guarantee that any particular vehicle will receive offers.
5.No farming out
MIUUM rides may never be passed, sold, brokered, or subcontracted to another company or to an outside driver. Only your approved chauffeurs, in your approved vehicles, may complete our rides. This is a material term of this Agreement, and breach is grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of pending payouts.
6.Payout
- Your payout is 65% of the ride's base fare, calculated by MIUUM at the time the offer is created, unless a different amount is shown on that specific offer. The exact dollar payout is displayed on every offer before you accept it. You are paid in dollars; the percentage is the basis of the calculation, not a figure you need to compute.
- Where MIUUM sends a ride to you directly rather than broadcasting it, the offer may carry a custom payout. Whatever figure the offer displays is the figure that governs that ride.
- A payout is earned only when the ride is completed through the app. Rides that are cancelled, given back, treated as a no-show under Section 9, or not completed by your chauffeur do not earn a payout.
- MIUUM sets all passenger prices. You may not add a markup, quote your own price to a MIUUM passenger, or collect any payment directly from a MIUUM passenger. Passengers pay MIUUM.
- Gratuity handling follows the passenger's booking. You may not solicit additional gratuity from a MIUUM passenger.
7.Payment and taxes
- Payouts are sent through Stripe to a connected payout account you set up from your portal. You must complete Stripe's onboarding, which collects your legal business name, address, tax identification (SSN or EIN), and bank details directly with Stripe, before your first payout. MIUUM never stores your bank account or tax identification numbers.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you give Stripe and for your own tax obligations. Where required by law you will receive an IRS Form 1099 for amounts paid to you in a calendar year.
- Payouts are recorded per ride in your portal as rides complete. If you believe a payout is wrong, raise a ticket in the portal within 30 days of the ride; after that the recorded amount is treated as accepted.
- MIUUM may withhold, delay, or offset a payout where required by law, where fraud or automation is suspected, where a payout account is unverified, or to recover amounts you owe us under this Agreement.
8.Accepting rides and give-backs
- Offers are first-come, first-served. Accepting an offer is a commitment to complete that ride.
- You may give a ride back free within 5 minutes of accepting it, with no penalty.
- After that window you have an allowance of 3 give-backs per rolling 3 months. Exceeding the allowance may result in suspension or termination.
- A give-back caused by a flight delayed more than 30 minutes does not count toward your allowance, provided you select that reason when giving the ride back.
- Offers must be viewed and accepted by a real person. Any bot, script, macro, auto-clicker, or automated tool used to watch, refresh, or claim offers is prohibited. Automated claiming is grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of pending payouts, and our system may auto-suspend an account it detects doing this.
9.Service standards
- Attire. Chauffeurs wear a black, gray, or dark blue suit with a tie and a clean dress shirt. No casual clothing, sneakers, hats, or visible branding of any other company.
- Punctuality. Chauffeurs are on location 15 minutes before every scheduled pickup.
- English. Chauffeurs must speak and understand English well enough to communicate clearly with passengers and dispatch.
- App required. Every chauffeur must have the MIUUM app on their phone during rides and must keep the ride status current in real time: on the way, arrived, passenger on board, and completed.
- Wait time. 15 minutes of free wait on every ride, 60 minutes on airport pickups. Beyond that, wait is billed as paid extra time.
- Child seats. If a child who requires a car seat is present and no seat was requested, the ride must not proceed unless your chauffeur can supply a proper seat on the spot. This is a safety and legal requirement with no exceptions.
- Capacity. If more passengers arrive than the booked vehicle lawfully seats, the ride is not completed and is treated as a no-show. Match the vehicle to the headcount before departing.
10.No soliciting, and passenger contact
- Every passenger is a MIUUM client. You and your chauffeurs may never promote your own company, hand out your own contact details, or solicit a MIUUM passenger for direct or future business. Always direct passengers back to MIUUM.
- Passenger contact details are released to you only as needed to operate the ride: the passenger's first name and phone number unlock within 24 hours of pickup.
- Access to a passenger's name, phone, and ride notes is withdrawn 48 hours after the ride is completed. You may not retain, copy, export, or reuse passenger contact information after that point, and you may not add MIUUM passengers to any marketing list.
- Breach of this Section is grounds for immediate termination.
11.Confidentiality and data
- Ride offers, payout amounts, passenger information, and portal contents are confidential. You may use them only to operate the rides you accept.
- You will keep passenger data secure, limit it to the chauffeur performing the ride, and not sell or share it.
- MIUUM's handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
12.Term, suspension, and termination
- This Agreement starts when your account is approved and continues until ended by either party. You may leave at any time by emailing support@premiumlane.net, provided you first complete or give back any accepted rides.
- MIUUM may place an account on hold or terminate it at any time, with or without cause, including for any breach of this Agreement, expired documents, service failures, automation, soliciting, or farming out.
- On termination, portal access ends. Payouts already earned on completed rides are still paid on the normal schedule, except where the termination is for fraud, automation, farming out, or soliciting, in which case pending payouts may be forfeited as stated above.
13.No guarantee
MIUUM does not guarantee any volume of ride offers, any level of earnings, or that offers will match your fleet, coverage area, or availability. Offers are broadcast at our discretion and are claimed by whichever eligible partner accepts first.
14.Insurance, liability, and indemnification
You are the motor carrier for every ride you accept and you bear full responsibility for the safe operation of that ride, your vehicles, and your chauffeurs. To the maximum extent allowed by law, MIUUM will not be liable to you for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising out of the program; and MIUUM's total liability to you under this Agreement is limited to payouts owed but unpaid to you. You will indemnify and hold MIUUM harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your rides, your vehicles, your chauffeurs, your breach of this Agreement, or your handling of passenger data. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
15.Changes to this Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be announced by email to the address on your account and in the portal at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to accept rides after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to leave the program before it takes effect.
16.General
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. This Agreement, together with the portal's Partner Rules and Policies and the Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement between you and MIUUM about the program and replaces any prior discussions. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent.
