These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Harrison Car Service Inc., its representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “Harrison,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of Harrison’s services, applications, websites, technology, facilities, and booking platform (collectively, the “Harrison Platform”).
PLEASE BE ADVISED: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND HARRISON CAN BE BROUGHT THESE PROVISIONS WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO: (1) WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND (2) SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST HARRISON TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
By entering into this Agreement and/or by using or accessing the Harrison Platform, you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement (including the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions herein) and accept all of its terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE HARRISON PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE HARRISON PLATFORM.
The Harrison Platform provides a marketplace where, among other things, individuals seeking transportation to specific destinations (“Riders”) can be matched with transportation options to such destinations. One option for Riders is to request a ride from drivers who are driving to or through those destinations (“Drivers”). Riders and any other individuals using the Harrison Platform are collectively referred to herein as “Users.” The driving services provided by Drivers to Riders in connection with the Harrison Platform shall collectively be referred to herein as “Transportation Services” and the providers thereof as “Transportation Providers.” “Harrison Services” shall include any service provided by Harrison pursuant to the Harrison Platform. As a User, you authorize Harrison to match you with Drivers based on factors such as your location, the requested pickup location, the estimated time to pickup, your destination, User preferences, applicable vehicle requirements, membership status, regulatory or other third-party requirements, user statistics, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match based on the same or other considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Transportation Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. A separate agreement is formed between Drivers and Riders when the Rider accepts the offered Transportation Services.
Harrison reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including by changing or deleting existing terms or by adding new ones, and such modifications shall be binding on you upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. Continued use of the Harrison Platform after modifications to this Agreement shall constitute your acceptance of such modifications. Harrison reserves the right to modify any information on pages referenced in the hyperlinks from this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications shall become effective upon posting. Continued use of the Harrison Platform after modifications to any information on pages referenced in the hyperlinks from this Agreement shall constitute your acceptance of such modifications.
The Harrison Platform may only be used by individuals who have the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and are fully able and competent to satisfy the terms, conditions, and obligations herein. The Harrison Platform is not available to Users who have had their User account temporarily or permanently deactivated. You may not allow other persons to use your User account, you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your User account, and you may not use your User account on behalf of any third party, except as otherwise expressly permitted by Harrison. To use the Harrison Platform, each User shall create a User account. Each person may only create one User account, and Harrison reserves the right to deactivate any additional or duplicate accounts.
By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are the parent or legal guardian of a 16 or 17-year old minor you may create a User account for such minor to use the Harrison Platform subject to the following requirements and restrictions: (a) you ensure that the minor’s use of the Harrison Platform is limited solely to accessing and using Harrison Services, (b) you determine that the Harrison Services are suitable for the minor, (c) you ensure that the minor’s use of the Harrison Platform and applicable Harrison Services is done in compliance and acknowledgement of all applicable safety instructions and warnings in this Agreement and the Harrison Platform, (d) you ensure that the minor does not request or accept any Transportation Services unless accompanied by you or an authorized guardian, and (e) you explain the terms of this Agreement to the minor.
By creating a User account for such minor, you hereby give permission and consent to the Agreement on the minor’s behalf, you expressly guarantee the minor’s acceptance, and your own acceptance, of the terms of this Agreement, and you shall assume any and all responsibility and liability for the minor’s use of the Harrison Platform as provided by the terms of this Agreement. You will be responsible for any breach of the above representations, warranties and/or this Agreement, and/or any attempt of the minor to disaffirm this Agreement. Furthermore, you hereby represent that you are fully authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of yourself and all other parents or legal guardians of the minor rider.
As a User, you understand that request or use of Harrison Services may result in charges (“Charges”) to you and/or to an organization, if applicable. Charges to Riders and/or organizations, if applicable, for Harrison Services include Fares (defined below) and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes, plus any tips to the Driver that you elect to pay. Harrison has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by posting applicable pricing terms or quoting you a price for a specific ride at the time you make a request. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request (e.g., economy, extra seats, luxury). You are responsible for reviewing the applicable price quote within the Harrison Platform and shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account, regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.
Harrison Service Fares (“Fares”). When you make a ride request using the Harrison Platform, Harrison will quote you a Fare at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the ride request is confirmed. If your final destination is not the same as the destination in your ride request, or the time and/or distance of your ride differs substantially from your quoted fare, or if you attempt to abuse the Harrison Platform, Harrison may, at Harrison’s sole discretion and determination, cancel the fare quote. Harrison does not guarantee that the quoted fare price will be equal to a variable fare for the same ride. Quoted fares may include the Rideshare Service Fees and Other Charges below, as applicable.
Harrison Service Fees and Other Charges.

The following disclaimers are made on behalf of Harrison, our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and shareholders.
Harrison does not provide transportation services, and Harrison is not a transportation carrier. Harrison is not a common carrier or public carrier. It is up to the Transportation Provider to decide whether or not to offer a ride to a Rider contacted through the Harrison Platform, and it is up to the Rider to decide whether or not to accept a ride from any Transportation Provider contacted through the Harrison Platform. We cannot ensure that a Transportation Provider or Rider will complete an arranged transportation service. We have no control over the quality or safety of the transportation that occurs as a result of the Transportation Services. Any safety-related feature, process, policy, standard, or other effort undertaken by Harrison is not an indication of any employment or agency relationship with any User.
The Harrison Platform is provided on an “as is” basis and without any warranty or condition, express, implied or statutory. We do not guarantee and do not promise any specific results from use of the Harrison Platform or Harrison Services and/or the Transportation Services, including the ability to provide or receive Transportation Services at any given location or time. Harrison reserves the right, for example, to limit or eliminate access to the Harrison Platform for Transportation Services, and/or Harrison Services in specific geographic areas and/or at specific times based on commercial viability, public health concerns, or changes in law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

THE HARRISON PLATFORM MAY BE USED BY YOU TO REQUEST AND SCHEDULE TRANSPORTATION WITH THIRD-PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS, BUT YOU AGREE THAT HARRISON HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO YOU RELATED TO ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. FOR CLARITY AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, HARRISON HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES.

(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Harrison.
YOU AND HARRISON MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including both the FAA’s procedural and substantive provisions. If the FAA is inapplicable for any reason, then this Arbitration Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the procedural and substantive provisions of Del. Code tit. 10, § 5701 et seq., without regard to choice of law principles. For the avoidance of doubt, a court may neither refuse to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, nor refuse to stay arbitration proceedings, pursuant to state law that is inconsistent with the FAA or New York law. This Arbitration Agreement survives after the Agreement terminates or your relationship with Harrison ends. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Harrison (as defined above) as well as between you and our successors and assigns, employees, agents or shareholders. This Arbitration Agreement also applies to claims between you and Harrison’s service providers, including but not limited to background check providers and payment processors; and such service providers shall be considered intended third-party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement.
Except as expressly provided below, ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the Harrison Platform, the Harrison Services or the Transportation Services or services made available through the Harrison Platform, your relationship with Harrison, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User account or this Agreement, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Harrison, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans With Disabilities Act. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND HARRISON ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.
(b) Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HARRISON MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HARRISON BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUBSECTION (B) SHALL NOT APPLY TO REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST HARRISON, WHICH ARE ADDRESSED SEPARATELY IN SECTION 17(C). ALSO NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES MAY AGREE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE SETTLEMENT.
The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this subsection (b) may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action or otherwise seeks relief that is not limited to the individual party seeking relief, and (2) there is a final judicial determination that this subsection (b) is unenforceable with respect to any Claim or any particular remedy for a Claim (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that Claim or particular remedy (and only that Claim or particular remedy) shall be severed from any remaining claims and/or remedies and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver and all other provisions in this subsection (b) shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims or remedies to the fullest extent possible. The Parties agree that a court will decide any Claim or any particular remedy for a Claim severed from any arbitration only after the completion of that arbitration.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability or may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims or portions of Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any representative private attorneys general act claims or portions of such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims or portions of Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the arbitration provision is unenforceable with respect to those Claims or portions of Claims, the Parties agree that litigation of those Claims or portions of Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims or portions of Claims in arbitration.
(d) Pre-Arbitration Process.
A party who intends to initiate arbitration must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must (1) describe the factual and legal nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (2) set forth the specific relief sought; and (3) include the name, mailing and email addresses, and phone number of the party sending the Notice.
Your Notice to Harrison must be personally signed by you (and by your attorney if you are represented by counsel). Harrison’s notice to you must be personally signed by a Harrison representative (and Harrison’s attorney if Harrison is represented by counsel). To safeguard your User Account, you might be required to provide both your authentication and consent for us to discuss your User Account or share your User Account information with anyone but you, including an attorney (“Authentication and Consent”).
Your Notice to Harrison should be sent by email to support@777limo.com. Harrison’s notice to you will be sent by email to the most recent contact information that you have provided to Harrison.
Whoever sends the Notice must give the other party 60 days from receipt of the complete Notice (including the Authentication and Consent, if required) to investigate the claim before commencing an arbitration. The submission of a complete Notice will toll any applicable statute of limitations or other limitations period for the claims and requested relief in the Notice until 60 days from when the other party receives the Notice of Dispute.
This Pre-Arbitration Process is essential so that you and Harrison have a meaningful chance to resolve disputes informally. If any aspect of these requirements has not been met, a court can enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration or assessment or collection of any arbitration fees in connection with such an arbitration. In addition, unless prohibited by law, the American Arbitration Association (or any other arbitration provider selected by the parties) may not accept, administer, assess, or demand fees in connection with such an arbitration. If the arbitration already is pending, it must be dismissed. If a process arbitrator has been appointed at the request of a party, the process arbitrator also has the same authority as a court to enforce the requirement that arbitration not be commenced until the requirements of this Agreement have been satisfied.
(e) Rules Governing the Arbitration.
Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and, if applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of the AAA rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event, unless you and Harrison agree otherwise, shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. The parties may select a different arbitration administrator, forum, and/or third party neutral upon mutual written agreement. If the AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, you and Harrison will select another arbitration provider, forum, and/or third party neutral upon mutual written agreement. If there is no agreement, a court will do so.
As part of the arbitration, both you and Harrison will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. Except as specified in subsections (b) and (c) above, the arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Riders, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Rider to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s ruling will not be binding in proceedings involving different Riders. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) Arbitration Fees and Awards.
The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA Rules subject to the following modifications:
(g) Location and Manner of Arbitration.
Unless you and Harrison agree otherwise, the arbitration hearing, if any, between Harrison and a Rider will take place in the county of your billing address or by videoconference.. Your right to the hearing and the format of the hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. You and Harrison agree that you and a Harrison representative will personally appear (which can include appearance by videoconference) at the hearing (along with your and Harrison’s respective legal counsel, if the parties are represented by counsel).
(h) Additional Procedures for Coordinated Claims.
If 25 or more claimants submit Notices or seek to file arbitrations raising similar claims and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel (regardless of whether the cases are submitted simultaneously), the AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, shall apply, and all of the cases must be resolved in arbitration in stages using bellwether proceedings if they are not resolved during the Pre-Arbitration Process. You agree to this process even though it may delay the arbitration of your claim. In the first stage, each side shall select up to 20 cases (40 cases total) to be filed in arbitration. The cases shall be resolved individually by different arbitrators to the extent that the AAA has a sufficient number of arbitrators available. If the AAA does not have a sufficient number of available arbitrators to decide all of the cases filed, the AAA may assign multiple cases to the same arbitrator, but the arbitrator must still resolve each case individually. In the meantime, no other cases may be filed in arbitration, and the AAA shall not accept, administer, or demand payment of fees for arbitrations commenced in violation of this subsection.
After the first stage is completed, the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining cases, and Harrison will pay the mediation fee. The parties shall attempt to reach agreement on a mutually agreeable mediator. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, AAA will oversee a rank and strike process with the parties and, if no agreeable mediator is chosen, AAA may administratively appoint a mediator. If the parties cannot agree how to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the first stage of bellwether proceedings, the process will be repeated until all claims are resolved, except that in the second and later stages each side shall select up to 50 cases (100 cases total) to be filed in arbitration. Between stages, counsel for the parties shall meet and confer regarding ways to improve the efficiency of the staged proceedings, including whether to further increase the number of cases filed in each stage.
If this subsection applies to a Notice, the statute of limitations applicable to the claims and relief set forth in that Notice shall be tolled from the date the Notice is sent until that Notice is selected for a bellwether proceeding, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court will have authority to enforce this subsection, including to enjoin the filing, assessing or demanding fees for, administration of, or prosecution of arbitrations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in New York County, New York, to enforce this subsection. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Arbitration Agreement, if either party requests appointment of a process arbitrator, a process arbitrator may decide issues relating to compliance with the requirements of this subsectionor the issues that a process arbitrator may decide under Rule MA-6 of the AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules.
This subsection and each of its requirements are intended to be severable from the rest of this Arbitration Agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court decides that the staging process in this subsection is not enforceable, then the cases may be filed in arbitration.
(i) Exceptions to Arbitration.
This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction, so long as the action is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction; (2) individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment in connection with the use of the Harrison Platform, Harrison Services, or Transportation Services. Where these claims are brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, Harrison will not require arbitration of those claims. Harrison’s agreement not to require arbitration of these claims does not waive the enforceability of any other provision of this Arbitration Agreement or of the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement as to any other dispute, claim, or controversy.
(j) Severability.
Except as otherwise provided in the severability provisions in the above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
(k) Binding Effect; Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall include any claims brought by or against any third parties, including but not limited to your spouses, heirs, third-party beneficiaries and permitted assigns, where their underlying claim(s) arise out of or relate to your use of the Harrison Platform, Harrison Services, or Transportation Services. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement brings claims against a party, those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
Claims (1) excepted from arbitration by, or (2) otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be subject to arbitration, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts in the state in which the incident or accident underlying the plaintiff's claim(s) occurred, notwithstanding that other courts may have subject matter jurisdiction over the claims or personal jurisdiction over the parties.
If for any reason claims do not proceed in arbitration, such claims may be brought and litigated on an individual basis only. On an individual basis means that you cannot bring such claims as a class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, mass, multi-plaintiff, joint, and/or representative action against Harrison, or otherwise seek to include your claims or case in a pending class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, mass, multi-plaintiff, joint, and/or representative action against Harrison. No action brought by you may be consolidated or joined in any fashion with any other proceeding, except that the parties may agree to participate in a class-wide settlement. The interpretation, enforceability, and validity of this paragraph shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of law principles, and by any applicable federal law. If New York law is inapplicable for any reason, then the interpretation, enforceability, and validity of this paragraph shall be governed by the law of the state where the court of competent jurisdiction deciding the claims is located. If there is a final judicial determination that any part of this paragraph is unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful portion shall be severed and severance shall have no effect whatsoever on the enforceability, applicability, or validity of any other part of this Agreement, including without limitation the choice-of-forum provision in the preceding paragraph.

In that event, the parties shall replace the invalid or non-binding provision with provisions that are valid and binding and that have, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the invalid or non-binding provision, given the contents and purpose of this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement and all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by Harrison, in our sole discretion by providing notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement without Harrison’s prior written approval. Any purported assignment by you in violation of this Agreement shall be void.

Brendan and his team at Harrison Car Service are #1 in the industry. Professional, courteous, reliable, friendly, innovative, demonstrating a strong work ethic, integrity and an unmatched commitment to outstanding customer service. I can recommend Brendan without reservation.
Scott Falzone, Retail Industry Director at Google
I travel a lot and Harrison is my go to car service for all my travel needs. Friendly, reliable service, super helpful booking staff and comfortable cars. If you’re in Westchester and you use car services for travel or special events add Harrison to your speed dial.
Sundance DiGiovanni, Vice President Activision Blizzard, CEO/Co Founder Major League Gaming
I am a frequent traveler and use Harrison Car Service to and from the airport in NY as well as while I am on the road. My typical week includes 4 to 6 trips with Brendan’s drivers. The drivers are reliable and have not been late for a pick-up in the four years I have been using the service. Cars are neat and clean. Dispatchers are friendly and accommodating. Notifications received via text and email always provide me the information I need to make my ride hassle free. In my 20+ years traveling for business, Brendan and Harrison Car Service have been the best transportation service anywhere.
Michael Brown, Partner | Retail Strategy | Omnichannel Integration
I've been a customer of Harrison Car Service since 2006. I'm a weekly traveler and I know all about the challenges of getting to and from our tri-state airports. I count on a car service to be consistently reliable, flexible (as my schedule can change fairly quickly), efficient, and courteous. Harrison has grown organically since it's early days and they have never lost focus of providing a quality service.
I prefer them to the much larger services because I know most of the drivers by name and they all seem to take pride in the relationship. With Uber or the other large services, it's more like "pot luck". You never know what you are going to get. I've used Harrison for business and personal travel, and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for excellent service to/from the airports (or other events) at a fair price.
Lastly, the service is a reflection of the people who run the business day to day, including Brendan, Bruce, and Jude. They treat their drivers the right way, and as a result there is clearly a mutual respect, and very little turnover. I proudly give my full endorsement.
Rui Soares, Senior Manager at Deloitte Consulting
Harrison Car Service: Five stars. I travel every week and am picked up and delivered home by Harrison Car Service each time and have been doing that for the last 5 years since I first discovered them through a recommendation from my EA. Brendan and his team are amazing – dependable, professional, friendly, and accommodating. All told I must have taken between 400 and 500 individual trips at this point and have never had a single issue. That’s an unbelievable record in my book and I commend Brendan for it. The added benefit from my perspective, as a regular user, is that I also now know a lot of Brendan’s drivers very well which is something I appreciate. I’m being picked up by the same people who are all extremely loyal to Harrison and Brendan personally and for me that’s both a testament to him and a great benefit. When you’re coming in from somewhere at the end of a long day, it’s nice to be picked up by someone familiar. Well done.
Mick Moloney, Partner at Oliver Wyman
I have been using Harrison Car Service for many years now. I travel a lot often changing my schedule, arriving late or early and at odd times and the Harrison Car Service driver is always there – they haven’t let me down once. They are flexible with reservations and great about communicating driver details and location. No transaction at arrival just makes the process easy and stress free. I highly recommend Brendan and his team at Harrison Car Service.
Jeff Loehr, Strategist, passionate about building businesses and driving performance
I highly recommend Brendan and his services. Brendan and his employees are personable and professional. I called from Florida and didn’t know where I was going or how I was going to get there and Brendan took me every step of the way. He always called me back and was always happy to talk with me. I will only use Brendan in the future when I go to NY.
Judi Katz, President Athletic Minds LLC
My wife and I use Harrison Car Service exclusively for all of our business and personal car service needs. The entire process from reserving to billing is simple, and we have never had a single issue with any reservation. Brendan himself is extremely personable, and all of the drivers are reliable and courteous as well.
Paul Wanuga, CTO of CT Small Business – a Wolters Kluwer Company
Perfect night planned: Rangers game at MSG with a handful of friends followed by a night out on the town for drinks afterward. Only issue: None of us knew where we were going or how to get there, let alone how we were going to navigate the intimidation factor that is NYC driving. Solution: We booked an SUV through Harrison Car Service, which turned into the best decision we made all night! We relaxed and enjoyed each other’s company without fighting traffic and the inevitable NYC parking debacle. When we were ready to leave we texted the driver and walked into a waiting car. A perfect night made even better by seamless transportation (always thought “seamless transportation” was an oxymoron in NYC). Thank you HCS!
Pete Kohlasch, Achievement and Mindset Coach, Certified High Performance Coach
Brendan and his company are a very reliable and personable group they really get the job done. If you need a clean and comfortable car in Westchester to take you where you need go, Brendan is the first person you should call. You wont be sorry.
Sean Smith, Photographer/writer at Total 911
I have been working with Brendan for a while now and I am very happy with his service. I currently recommend him to anyone needing a car service. It is great in the industry that I work in to be able to rely on Brendan and know that he will successfuly get the job done!
