General: This FasTrak® License Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Bay Area Toll Authority (“BATA”) and the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (“District”), collectively referred to in this Application and License Agreement as “the Agencies”, allows you to use the FasTrak® Toll Tag through toll lanes of the State-owned toll bridges in the Bay Area (Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael, San Francisco-Oakland Bay, San Mateo-Hayward bridges) and the Golden Gate Bridge and FasTrak® authorized parking facilities. This Agreement accompanies and is part of each FasTrak® Application. Your submittal of a FasTrak® Application constitutes your acknowledgement and consent to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is a license only and the Toll Tag remains the property of BATA. FasTrak® will not issue a Toll Tag to any applicant until any and all outstanding toll violations of that applicant have been paid and any and all other Bay Area FasTrak® account balances are settled.
You Agree to:
Interoperability with FasTrak® System: Your Toll Tag may be used to pay tolls on any Toll Facility bearing the FasTrak® logo, which presently includes the SR-241, SR-133, SR-73, SR-91, I-15, SR-125, Golden Gate Bridge and the seven State-owned toll bridges in the Bay Area. If you drive on any FasTrak® Toll Facility in a vehicle with your Toll Tag, your Toll Tag will be read by that Toll Facility’s electronic toll equipment, and a record of your transaction will be created. These tolls will be charged to your account in accordance with the rules, regulations and procedures of that FasTrak® Toll Facility. It is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with such rules, regulations, and procedures. If you use your Toll Tag on a FasTrak® Toll Facility, you agree to pay the tolls charged by that FasTrak® Toll Facility, whether billed by one of the Agencies or any other FasTrak® Toll Facility. You agree that the Agencies may share with the operator of such FasTrak® Toll Facility and its agents any information contained in this Application and License Agreement for purposes of processing and collecting tolls or penalties, and enforcing Agency policies.
Toll Tag Use at Eligible Parking Facilities:
Your Toll Tag may also be used to pay parking fees at eligible parking facilities provided that you have not opted-out of the parking program and you have provided a valid credit card for your FasTrak® account. You may opt-out of the parking program at any time by contacting the FasTrak® Customer Service Center at www.bayareafastrak.org and updating your account information. If you do not opt-out, you agree to the use of your Toll Tag to pay parking fees at eligible parking facilities.
Minimum Account Balances, Fees and Charges:
You agree to maintain your prepaid toll account balance as described in this Agreement.
Toll Tags: Termination:
The Agencies may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason. If the Agencies request, or if you wish to terminate this Agreement, you must return all of the issued Toll Tag(s) to the FasTrak® Customer Service Center. Upon termination and your return of your Toll Tag(s), your toll account balance and Toll Tag deposit(s) (if paid in advance) will be refunded to you within thirty (30) days without interest by check or credit card, less any amounts owed to the Agencies or other FasTrak® Toll Facility or parking facility. Following any termination, you remain responsible for payments owed under this Agreement. If your toll account balance is insufficient to cover outstanding charges, you will remain liable for all such amounts. If such unpaid charges are not promptly remitted, you may become liable for additional service charges, fines, or penalties, in accordance with applicable law and you may be subject to collection actions for any unpaid balance. Changes:
The Agencies reserve the right to change the terms of this Agreement and these policies at any time by providing written notice to you. You will be deemed to have received such notice ten (10) days that notice is sent. You agree to all changes when you use your Toll Tag after that date. Release and Indemnity:
You hereby release the Agencies and their directors, officers, employees and agents from all loss, damage, or injury whatsoever, known or unknown, arising out of or in any manner connected with the use or performance of the Toll Tag(s) issued to you. You agree that neither the Agencies nor their directors, officers, employees nor agents will incur any obligation or liability for any such loss, damage or injury. Your sole and exclusive remedy against the Agencies will be replacement of any defective Toll Tag(s). You agree to indemnify, protect, and hold harmless the Agencies and their directors, officers, employees, and agents from all liability for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property arising from or related to the use of the Toll Tag(s) issued to you. Failure to Comply with any portion of this Agreement may result in your transactions being processed as violations under California Vehicle Code 4770 and any other applicable law. If violations occur, you will be subject to all fees, fines and penalties, and unpaid violations may be referred to collection or result in the DMV withholding your vehicle registrations, as provided by law. BATA, Caltrans, and the District reserve the right to debit your account for unpaid violations including fees and fines.
