5. PRIVILEGE OF PARTICIPATION & ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROGRAM RULES:

I, the Participant, understand and agree that my participation in the Program is a privilege, not a right.  Ride To Work Anderson, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate the Program at any time without notice to me, the Participant.  The Releasees reserve the right to change or limit destinations and route structure without notice to me.  I acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Program rules.  I have read and understand the Program rules, and I agree to comply with and abide by the Program rules at all times while participating in the Program.  I understand and agree that my failure to follow all Program rules may lead to my removal from the Program.
