The execution and performance of agreements for the provision of Marketing Services with E-Platforms, whose purpose is the provision of Marketing Services;
The execution and performance of agreements for the use of Electronic Services provided by E-Platforms;
The execution of agreements for Transfers on behalf of the Principal.
Paragraph 1. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Principal may directly execute such agreements. Consequently, the Parties understand and acknowledge that the registration carried out by the Principal directly with the E-Platform Yango makes the Principal exclusively responsible for such relationship, while the Agent, through this mandate, acts as manager, intermediary, and support provider so that the relationship may be successfully completed.
Paragraph 2. Formalization of the preexisting relationship. The Parties acknowledge that the activities subject to this mandate have been carried out in practice under the same intermediation conditions agreed herein. The purpose of this document is to put into writing and specify the terms of such relationship, which has maintained unity of subject matter and purpose since its inception, without this constituting novation or the creation of a new legal relationship.
3. LEGAL NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP AND SCOPE OF THE MANDATE
The Agent acts exclusively as an intermediary and administrative manager.
The Agent does not materially perform the transportation service, does not organize or direct its performance, does not unilaterally set fares, does not assign routes, does not control schedules, and does not assume any economic risk arising from the provision of the service.
The Principal is the sole and exclusive provider of the transportation service before the users and before the E-Platform Yango, and is responsible for its proper performance, quality, regulatory compliance, and tax obligations arising from such activity.
The Agent does not guarantee the result of the service and shall not be liable for damages, breaches, or claims related to the material performance of the transportation service.
The obligations assumed by the Agent before digital platforms do not imply the material performance of the transportation service.
4. FEES
4.1. The Principal shall reimburse the Agent for the value of the charges made by the E-Platforms for the E-Service.
4.2. The Agent is obligated to transfer to the Principal the entirety of the commissions, fees, and, in general, the consideration (“Marketing Fees”) paid to it by the E-Platforms in the name and on behalf of the Principal, as a consequence of the provision of the Marketing Services.
4.3. Likewise, acting in the name of the Principal, the Agent may issue supporting documents to the Principal and to passengers in the name of the Principal, if requested by them, provided that the Principal supplies all relevant information. Otherwise, it shall be understood that invoicing shall be delivered by the Principal, under the Principal’s sole responsibility.
5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL
The Principal undertakes and agrees, at all times during the term of this Agreement, to comply with the following obligations:
5.1. Pay the Agent the Remuneration stipulated in Clause 7.1 of this Agreement.
5.2. Reimburse the Agent for the E-Service Fees in accordance with Clause 4 of the Agreement.
5.3. Provide the Agent with all information and documentation necessary for the Agent to execute and perform the agreements with the E-Platforms and users, with the Principal being, in all cases, solely responsible for such obligations.
5.4. Indemnify the Agent for losses incurred without fault, or as a result of the assignment that is the subject matter of this Agreement.

5.6. Deliver to the Agent a copy of the Single Tax Registry — RUT.

Likewise, by signing this document, the Principal states that the Principal is not responsible for value-added tax — VAT, for not meeting, in the immediately preceding year or in the current year, the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 of Article 437 of the Tax Statute. In all cases, it shall be the Driver’s obligation to invoice and declare VAT and income tax.
6. OBLIGATIONS OF THE AGENT
6.1. Carry out the assignment under the terms of this Agreement.
6.2. Charge the Principal the agreed Electronic Service Fees and, consequently, transfer them to the E-Platforms.
6.3. Transfer to the Principal the Marketing Fees and all benefits arising from the agreements entered into with the E-Platforms, including payments not made in cash for Transfers, under the terms of Clause 4.2 of this Agreement.
By signing this document, the Principal states that the Principal has registered an account with the Yango platform for the respective transfers, and therefore expressly authorizes the Agent to make transfers to such account, even if such account belongs to a third party. Accordingly, the Principal releases the Agent from any liability related to such declaration. The transferred funds legally belong to the Principal from the moment of payment by the user. The funds received by the Agent by virtue of agreements entered into with digital platforms constitute income of the Principal from their economic origin.
6.4. Inform the Principal about the development of the assignment and its management, including, but not limited to:
6.4.1. The execution of agreements for the use of Electronic Services, agreements for the provision of Marketing Services to E-Platforms, and Transfer agreements, and the delivery of a copy of such agreements to the Principal, except if the Principal has directly subscribed to them when registering with the Yango E-Platform.
6.4.2. The performance of the agreements for the use of the Electronic Service, as well as for the provision of Marketing Services with E-Platforms, and information related to the Transfers and the status of compliance with each of the obligations under its responsibility.
6.4.3. Claims, notices, and communications sent by the E-Platforms in relation to E-Service, Marketing Services, and Transfers.
6.5. Submit financial reports — costs, expenses, deductions, deductible taxes, refunds, etc. — for all activities carried out on behalf of the Principal, together with the corresponding supporting documents and/or invoices, provided that they are requested by the Principal and that the Principal has supplied the necessary information.

Fully comply with the obligations stipulated in the agreements for the use of the Electronic Service and the Marketing Service, as well as Transfers, when applicable, entered into in performance of this Agreement. However, it is clear to the Parties that the obligations inherent to the transportation service are the exclusive responsibility of the Principal. The Agent does not materially perform the transportation service, does not assume economic risk arising from its provision, does not guarantee its result, and does not respond to users for its execution, with the Principal being the sole and exclusive provider of the transportation service. Such full compliance is limited to administrative management and contractual coordination.
6.10. Identify in its accounting and distinguish the Agent’s own operations from those income, costs, or expenses incurred on behalf of the Principal, including all applicable payments, expenses, and deductions.
6.11. The Agent shall charge the Remuneration under the terms of Clause 7.1 of this Agreement, and such Remuneration shall constitute taxable income for the Agent.
6.12. The contractual responsibilities assumed by the Agent before digital platforms correspond to obligations of an administrative and coordination nature, without this implying that the Agent assumes the capacity of provider of the transportation service.
7. REMUNERATION OF THE MANDATE

7.2. The Parties have agreed that the amount corresponding to the aforementioned Intermediation Fee may be automatically adjusted in the event of a modification of the economic conditions established by the E-Platform, without this implying unilateral fare setting by the Agent.
