- Affiliate/Partner: A vetted third‑party operator engaged by Noir Executive to deliver services on our behalf.
2. Scope of Service
We provide premium chauffeured transportation and concierge coordination within South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach) and, through affiliates, in other domestic and international locations. Specific service availability, vehicle type, and capacity are subject to confirmation at time of Booking.

4.2 Gratuity. A suggested chauffeur gratuity may be included on the invoice or left to Client discretion when not included.
4.3 Deposits & pre‑authorizations. We may require a non‑refundable deposit (commonly 20–50% depending on service type/date) and/or a credit‑card pre‑authorization to secure the Booking and cover incidentals.
4.4 Balance due. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, balances are due prior to dispatch. Corporate accounts may be invoiced on Net 7–15 terms subject to approval.
4.5 Changes affecting price. Client‑requested changes (route, stops, waiting time, vehicle class, hours) will be billed at the prevailing rates.
