HOW DIDI ADVANCE WORKS1.1. DiDi Advance is a program which places you on a specific ‘Level’ based on your week-to-week driver metrics. Subject to the information outlined in these terms, you will have access to differing DiDi Services Fees percentages and discounted services from third parties depending on your Level.1.2. DiDi Advance consists of four (4) levels (the Levels). From highest to lowest, these levels are called:
Diamond
Platinum
Gold
Silver
1.3. At the beginning of each week (Monday, 12:00am) you will be assigned a new Level based on your metrics in the previous week. This Level will determine:(a) your applicable DiDi Services Fee percentage for that week (12:00am Monday – 11:59pm Sunday);(b) which discounted services you will have access to for that week. To illustrate this further, your metrics in Week 1 will determine your DiDi Services Fee percentage (and access to discounted services) for Week 2. All of the trips you complete in Week 2 will then be subject to the DiDi Services Fee percentage applicable to Week 2.For further clarification on calculating your Level, please see the flow-chart below
