Royal Limousine reserves the right to terminate this or any other contract for noncompliance of the above requests, especially if renters do not follow chauffeurs requests in order to obey the rules in this contract. Royal Luxury Limousine has the right to terminate the job if minors (anybody under 21 years old) are consuming alcohol beverages on board of our vehicles. No customer can consume liquor/alcohol if even one person is below age of 21. Royal Luxury Limousine has a right to end the job early if we think that customer is putting the driver in danger, not letting him do his job to fullest extend, calling him names, misbehaving, being too drunk or to high, acting aggresively or is under 21 and concuming alcholic beverages, etc. In that case everybody will be removed from the vehicle and you loose all the money because you forfeit the contract. If you will not leave the vehicle when asked, we have the right to call the Police and have them remove you from the vehicle.
No smoking is allowed in our vehicles. No food is allowed as well. As with all contracts, the rental contract between the mentioned person as renter and Royal Limousine is made with the information and the terms given to us. All of the given information from the renter is binding and cannot be changed without Royal Limousine acceptance. If the contract is cancelled or accepted after it is signed, Royal Limousine is still authorized to collect the remaining balance in full, if the car was not re-rented again on the cancelled date for the same or higher amount. We will reserve the said date upon the approval of the purchaser's credit card as per online reservation. The credit card holder gives Royal Luxury limo authorization to use the credit card information over the phone/fax/internet. It is agreed that it is not necessary to obtain a signed credit card slip, as the reservation is made over the phone/fax/internet.
Proof of identity of the purchaser using said credit card must be supported by the signed contract/credit card authorization via fax or in person. At time of pickup we need the credit card, state identification of the purchaser that authorizes the transaction for the signed contract. If the purchaser cannot provide all of the above items at the time of pickup, Royal Limousine will not start the job, as we have no proof of the legal possession of the credit card. Therefore the risk of not getting paid will give us the right to cancel. The purchaser is still fully responsible to pay the total amount as he failed to provide the above requirements.
We are not responsible for lost/not received confirmations when booking via internet. Some clients have spam blockers on and sometimes confirmations don't get through. It's customer's responsibility to call and get a confirmation number. It is of particular importance that the purchaser makes allowances for anticipated delays and adheres to the agreed time schedule. In the event that the purchaser wants to change the time of the itinerary, they may do so, only if Royal Limousine can accommodate other clients that booked with Royal Limousine prior to or after the said time. The purchaser further agrees to pay additional charges incurred such as overtime, tolls, parking etc.
Royal Limousine cannot guarantee the availability of overtime because sometimes we have jobs scheduled right after each other. Overtime for airport jobs is charged in 30 minute increments, extra stops are charged $20 - $40. If customer fails to show at designated pick up location (NO SHOW), the full amount of contracted time will be charged. On all reservations you will be considered a no-show at 30 minutes (1 hr for Intl. Arrivals requiring Customs Clearance) past your scheduled pick-up time; if you have not met your Chauffeur or contacted us by phone, you will be charged in full for the reservation. We track arrival time with most of the airlines. Some airlines don't have automated arrival system in which case we can not track the flight. If we can track the flight, we send the driver accordingly to the scheduled arrival time. We are not responsible for any flight time changes accured once the driver gets to the airport. In that case waiting time is applied while the driver waits for the delayed passenger to come in. To avoid being charged as a no-show, do not leave your location without contacting Royal Limousine by phone. On all the other limousine transfers or packages Royal Limousine provides up to a 10 minute grace period at pick-up; before wait time charges apply at the hourly rate of the vehicle + 20% administrative charge billed in 1 hour increments.

All U.S. law enforcement agencies have absolute power to stop any motor vehicle for administrative searches. If contraband is aboard, even in negligible quantities without the chauffeurs knowledge, they can seize and forfeit this vehicle to a local government agency. All law enforcement agencies are aggressively enforcing this policy. Therefore no person will bring contraband aboard vehicles that are owned or operated by Royal Limousine.

If any payment due hereunder will be unpaid (10) ten days after the due date, hereon Royal Limousine will have the right to add and collect late charges with interest at maximum rate allowed by law. All such sums are due and owing with any other expenses, (filing fees, court cost, and reasonable attorney fees, etc.). Necessarily injuries by reason of such non-payments, I the credit card holder / purchaser agree to pay Royal Limousine upon signing of this contract. I am satisfied with the terms and conditions above and fully understand and agree. If, for any reasons, I am not fully satisfied with the services I receive, I have 12 hours after the completion of the job to file a complaint in writing. If Royal Limousine does not receive my written complaint in the above stated timeframe, I agree, that there is no valid complaint and I am fully satisfied with the services I received. Filing a written complaint, insures both parties, that it is fully understood what the problem was, and should help Royal Limousine to assist the purchaser in any kind of reimbursement. The purchaser will be contacted within a week of the complaint to settle the matter. I understand that this is a separate case from the main contract and therefore have no dispute in general against Royal Limousine and the payment I authorized.
Since Royal Limousine offers high-tech-equipped vehicles, sometimes heat, air condition and excessive use of all power-operated equipment might be subject to temporary failure. In winter, things like smoke machine will not be operational because of the outside temperatures unable to turn liquid into vapor. In Winter all liquids and gases act different and make things inoperable. Sometimes winter outside temperatures will cause the jet door shocks not to hold in place.This will of course not interfere with the safety of the vehicle itself and therefore will have no effect on continuing or paying of the contracted trip. Royal Limousine guarantees, that all our vehicles are constantly checked to keep the highest possible standards and eliminate such failures as much as possible. Royal Limousine agrees to send the requested vehicle as offered in the contract. We have the right to upgrade the vehicles or switch the vehicles in case of emergency breakdown or if vehicles were in accidents. As stated, this will only happen in emergencies, and to upgrade, never downgrade. If no upgrade is available, Royal Limousine gives the customer the right to downsize the vehicle and receive additional discounts if wanted. No additional charges will occur on customer side if upgrade is made without customer request. If switching occurs in the same category, or upgrades are made, it will not affect the contract and / or payment of contract. Customer's therefore accepts that replacement limousine may be substituted if contracted limousine becomes unavailable for any reason.
If any of our above guarantees or contracted terms cannot be met due to conditions outside of our control, including weather, accidents and any other acts of god, including, but not limited to traffic congestion, road closures, accidents, flight delays, weather delays, road closures etc., we will use our best efforts to notify the customer of these conditions and resulting delays or changes. It is our call to cancel or change a trip if the cars can not move around in eq. snow. If the cars can move around the hazard, contract is still valid and customer is obligated to his part of the bargain.
