The general form of this Agreement is as follows: We grant you a license to use the Services, and in return you pay us and agree to abide by our terms and policies.

You acknowledge and agree that, as provided in greater detail in this Agreement:

  3. Providing legally adequate privacy notices for your users, and informing them that their information may be available to transloads.co and/or our affiliates.

4. FEES AND CHARGES

A. Payments and pricing. You incur fees and charges based on your use of the Services. We calculate and bill fees and charges monthly or at the interval indicated in our Fees and Pricing Policy, or your billing agreement, as appropriate. We may bill you more frequently if we determine that your account is at risk of non-payment. Any outstanding balance becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of this Agreement for any reason. We may change our Fees and Pricing Policy. In the event we do so, we will give you 30 days notice before the beginning of the billing cycle during which the revised policy will be applied. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Charges are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for paying all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees we incur collecting late payments. We reserve the right to discontinue the provision of the Services to you for any late payments. Fees are based on our measurements of your use of the Services. Our determination is final. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights). To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at our discretion and only in the form of credit for the Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Transloads LLC to extend credit to any party.

B. Taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges and will pay us for the Services without any reduction. In the event that transloads.co is obligated to collect or pay taxes, those taxes will be invoiced to you, unless you provide us with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate issued by the appropriate authority for each jurisdiction in which you claim exempt status. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide us with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

5. SUSPENSION, REMOVAL, AND REMEDIAL ACTION

Under some circumstances, you are obligated to suspend use of an Application from the Services. In addition, we reserve the right to suspend your account, suspend your access or your End Users’ access to the Services, and/or suspend or remove an Application (take “Remedial Action”). Our right to take Remedial Action is in addition to our right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.

A. Your obligations. If you become aware that any Application or End User’s use of an Application or data violates the Acceptable Use Policy, you will immediately suspend that Application, remove the applicable data, or suspend access to that End User, whichever may be applicable to remedy the violation. If you fail to remedy the violation on your own, we will make a specific request that you do so. If you do not remedy the violation within the time period specified in our request (in no case later than 24 hours), we may take Remedial Action. We reserve the right to take Remedial Action if you are in breach of this Agreement, including if you are delinquent on your payment obligations by more than 15 days.

B. Our obligations. We will always try to resolve Acceptable Use issues within a mutually acceptable time frame. We reserve the right to take unilateral Remedial Action at any time, however, to enforce our policies and ensure the safety and security of our customers and their users. If we take Remedial Action without prior notice, we will provide the reason to you as soon as is practically possible.

C. Effect of Remedial Action. If we take Remedial Action:

  1. You remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred through the date of the Remedial Action;
  2. You remain responsible for any applicable fees and charges for any Services to which you continue to have access, or claim right to access;
  3. You remain responsible for applicable data storage fees and charges, and fees and charges for in-process tasks completed after the date of suspension; and
  4. You will not be entitled to any credits for any period of suspension.

B. Proprietary rights. In general, except as expressly set forth below in Sections 8 and 9, this Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other’s Content or any of the other’s intellectual property.

This policy is intended to protect and comply with out rights and obligations under the DMCA, including 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), but does not constitute legal advice.

18. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under this Agreement, then, unless another location is expressly specified in this Agreement, you and transloads.co agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the county of Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA for the purpose of litigating any dispute.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

A. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Transloads LLC in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Transloads LLC agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND TRANSLOADS LLC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

B. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 19(A), we both agree that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

C. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and transloads.co will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Transloads.co.

D. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). transloads.co address for Notice is:

Transloads, LLC
2 Earhart St., Suite 426
Cambridge, MA 02141

The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or transloads.co may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Transloads LLC must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Transloads LLC will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Transloads LLC in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000. 

E. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Transloads LLC will reimburse you 50% for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $5,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, but if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Transloads LLC for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the preceding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

F. No Class Actions. YOU AND TRANSLOADS LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Transloads LLC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

G. Modifications. If Transloads LLC makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to our address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice, in which case your account with transloads.co will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive.

H. Enforceability. If Section 19(F) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 19 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
