HITCH Terms of Service: Transportation Services Vendors

Last Updated: September 11, 2023

1. Introduction.
By clicking “I accept” or “I agree” or using the RunBuggy HITCH application or related RunBuggy website, mobile app, application programming interface, or technology platform (collectively, the “RunBuggy Service”), you acknowledge (on behalf of yourself and any entity you represent) these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”), which is a binding contract between you and RunBuggy OMI, Inc. (“RunBuggy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) that sets forth the general terms and conditions of your use of the RunBuggy Service.

You further acknowledge that you have been granted access to a private instance of the RunBuggy Service by a RunBuggy HITCH customer (“Shipper”). As a result, your access to and use of the RunBuggy Service is dependent upon and controlled by the Shipper by whom you have been engaged. You further agree to the terms of this Agreement and represent that you: (i) have read and understood the terms; and (ii) agree to use the RunBuggy Service in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. You may not use the RunBuggy Service if you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement.

RunBuggy may need to make changes to this Agreement from time to time, typically to conform to current practices, comply with changing regulatory requirements, or other similar purposes. If we modify this Agreement in a manner that materially changes its terms, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you by posting notice and an updated version of the Agreement within the RunBuggy Service and/or sending notice via email, with the updated Agreement becoming effective seven (7) days after such reasonable effort to notify. Your continued use of the RunBuggy Service thereafter shall constitute your consent to the changes.

2. RunBuggy HITCH.

RunBuggy HITCH is a cloud-based transportation management system enabling Shippers to: (i) manage their captive fleet of vehicles via the Private Fleet Management Module (“PFMM”); (ii) manage their contracted third-party transportation service providers, such as vehicle carriers and/or freight brokers (“Vendors”) via the Partner Management Module (“PMM”); and (iii) access the RunBuggy MARKETPLACE (“RMP”), an online marketplace platform where Shippers can connect with vehicle carriers who provide transportation services (“MARKETPLACE Carriers”) and self-arrange for transportation. Transportation services arranged for or provided by Vendors to Shippers shall be referred to collectively as the “Transport Services.”
You are being provided with access to the RunBuggy Service at the request of, and as an accommodation to, the Shipper to allow the Shipper to fully utilize the RunBuggy Service. You may only use and access the RunBuggy Service for the purpose of providing Transport Services to the Shipper that granted you access, and for no other purpose.

By using the RunBuggy Service in your provision of Transport Services to the Shipper you assume all obligations related thereto, including compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, ordinances, and regulations (“Applicable Laws”). THE PROVISION OF TRANSPORT SERVICES IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VENDOR WITHOUT ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO RUNBUGGY.

You understand and acknowledge that all shipment information is provided by the Shipper and RunBuggy has no control over or responsibility for the accuracy of this information. You are responsible for reading all shipment details and represent and warrant that you have entered into a legally binding agreement with the Shipper to provide the Transport Services as requested by the Shipper. You further agree that, should any conflict exist between this Agreement and any contract you have with the Shipper, this Agreement shall control with respect to your access to and use of the RunBuggy Service but not with respect to any contractual terms between you and the Shipper governing your provision or arrangement of the Transport Services.

FMCSA and State Laws. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, requires that all Vendors transporting, handling, or arranging for the transportation of interstate shipments register with it and provide certain information. You can determine the registration and safety statutes applicable to you at www.fmcsa.dot.gov and by consulting your legal counsel. Certain Transport Services may involve movements only within one state. Several states have statutes and regulations pertaining to such intrastate transportation. We suggest you check with the applicable state’s Department of Transportation and your legal counsel to determine application of such state’s law and regulations to you and the provision of Transport Services by you.

3. What RunBuggy is NOT.

RUNBUGGY IS NOT A MOTOR CARRIER UNDER 49 USC §13102(14) OR ANY OTHER STATE OF FEDERAL REGULATION (“MOTOR CARRIER”). NO INTERPRETATION OF WRITTEN OR ORAL REMARKS IN ANY AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO IMPLY THAT RUNBUGGY IS A MOTOR CARRIER.

RunBuggy is not a party to any agreement for Transport Services or other agreement made between you and Shippers in connection with your use of the RunBuggy Service. As a result, RunBuggy has no control over the quality, safety, or legal aspects of the Transport Services or the transactions between Shippers and Vendors regardless of use of the RunBuggy Service. RunBuggy does not endorse, recommend, or refer any specific Vendor, nor does RunBuggy have any control or influence over actions or decisions made by Shippers or Vendors using the RunBuggy Service. You acknowledge and agree that we are not in any way arranging Transport Services on your behalf. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between Shippers and Vendors, we have no control over the accuracy of listings, the ability of Vendors to transport (or arrange for the transportation of) items, or the ability of Shippers to send items. We cannot ensure the Shipper or Vendor will complete a shipment or fulfill any services booked through the RunBuggy Service. RunBuggy is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the RunBuggy Service or Services. You are solely responsible for your interactions with Shippers or other users.

For the convenience of the parties to a shipment, the RunBuggy Service may generate an electronic and printable bill of lading utilizing the booking information provided by both parties for your use in tendering the shipment. The bill of lading issued in connection with each shipment is governed by your contract with the Shipper for Transport Services and shall be deemed, conclusively, to have been prepared by the Shipper. The parties agree that RunBuggy does not issue the bill of lading and that RunBuggy is not a party to the bill of lading (the presence of the RunBuggy name and RunBuggy Trademarks on the bill of lading reflect only that the RunBuggy Service was used by the Shipper and Vendor to manage the shipment).

IMPORTANT: RunBuggy does NOT screen or qualify Vendors, including for compliance with any federal, state, or local statutes, laws, rules, ordinances, and regulations.

4. Privacy.

Your access to the RunBuggy Service is provided by a Shipper, which is the data controller for any personal information that is uploaded to or accessed by the RunBuggy Service. The Shipper that provided your access is responsible for ensuring it has a legal basis for processing your personal information. RunBuggy only processes your personal information on the Shipper’s behalf, as a data processor. To the extent RunBuggy is deemed a data controller with respect to your personal information, RunBuggy will collect, process, and use your personal information in accordance with the RunBuggy Privacy Notice.

5. Access to the RunBuggy Service.

You must register and create an account to access and use the RunBuggy Service on behalf of your Shipper. Your authorized representatives who: (i) register and create an account on the RunBuggy Service; (ii) register as “peer users” on the RunBuggy website; or (iii) otherwise use the RunBuggy Service, including drivers you provide or arrange to provide Transport Services, are collectively referred to herein as “Users,” “you,” “your” and the like. Agreements and statements by you hereunder are on behalf of and bind you and the your respective Users.

By choosing to register for the RunBuggy Service, you agree to: (i) create and register only one account; (ii) access and use the RunBuggy Service using only the one account; (iii) provide RunBuggy with true, accurate, current, and complete user information about yourself; and (iv) abide by a continuing obligation to notify and correct with RunBuggy any incomplete, false, inaccurate, misleading, or out-of-date user information. Complete user information about yourself includes, but is not limited to, mandatory fields designated by all account creation or registration form(s) provided through the RunBuggy Service.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all rights not specifically granted shall be reserved and remain always with RunBuggy. Your account and access to the RunBuggy Service is not transferable. You agree to use the RunBuggy Service in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

NOTE: You are not licensed, authorized, or otherwise permitted to access the RMP as a MARKETPLACE Carrier until and unless you create an account and are onboarded as a MARKETPLACE Carrier via runbuggy.com. Your subsequent access and use of the RMP shall be governed by the RunBuggy Terms of Service.

6. Account Security.

You are responsible for: (i) maintaining the confidentiality of all usernames you use to access the RunBuggy Service; and (ii) all activities that occur in your account and under your username and/or IP address (“Account Credentials”). Allowing others to access or use the RunBuggy Service with your Account Credentials is strictly prohibited and you are responsible for all uses of the RunBuggy Service associated with your account, whether the use is made by you personally or by a third party. Each User agrees to: (i) immediately notify RunBuggy of any unauthorized use of such User’s account or Account Credentials, or any other breach of security; and (ii) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the RunBuggy Service. RunBuggy will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

7. Pricing, Fees, and Payments.

7.1 Transport Service Pricing. Fees for the Transport Services you provide to Shippers via the PMM (“Charges”) are established by and between you and each Shipper, not RunBuggy. You agree that your provision of Transport Services to Shippers as referenced herein is pursuant to a valid and enforceable contract that includes, at a minimum, terms establishing pricing and payment obligations governing your provision of such Transport Services. The RunBuggy Service may display such Charges prior your claiming of a transport order. You agree that RunBuggy, however, is not a party to such contracts and is not obligated to comply with any terms set forth therein.

7.2 Payment Processing. Shippers’ payment of Charges to you may be facilitated through the RunBuggy Service via a third-party payment processing service. RunBuggy may replace its third-party payment processing services without notice to you. All financial information is collected directly by the third-party payment processing service subject to their policies and terms of use. The security of your personally identifiable financial information and the payments you make to the third-party payment processing service is outside of our control and RunBuggy shall not be responsible for any consequences or damages arising from your disclosing personally identifiable financial information to or payments using the third-party payment processing service.

8. Vendor Obligations.

8.1 Contract with Shipper. You represent that you have entered into, or are otherwise subject to, a valid and enforceable contract with the Shipper pursuant to which you will arrange for or provide Transport Services as referenced in this Agreement. You agree and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for complying with your obligations under such contracts. Your use of the RunBuggy Service in no way makes RunBuggy a party to such contracts or obligates RunBuggy to comply with any terms set forth therein.

8.2 Relationship with RunBuggy. You and RunBuggy expressly agree that: (i) this is not an employment agreement and does not create an employment relationship between you and RunBuggy; and (ii) no joint venture, franchisor-franchisee, partnership, or agency relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. You have no authority to bind RunBuggy, and you shall not to hold yourself out as an employee, agent, or authorized representative of RunBuggy. RunBuggy does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under this Agreement specifically, including in connection with your provision of Transport Services, your acts or omissions, or your operation and maintenance of your vehicle.

8.3 Driving Behavior. If you are a Motor Carrier, you and/or the drivers utilized by you will not engage in reckless behavior while driving, drive unsafely, operate a vehicle that is unsafe to drive, permit an unauthorized third party to accompany you in the vehicle while providing Transport Services, provide Transport Services as a Vendor while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or take action that harms or threatens to harm the safety of the RunBuggy community or third parties. When using the RunBuggy Service on a mobile device and/or the RunBuggy mobile application, you shall: (i) observe all traffic laws and otherwise drive safely; (ii) use your good personal judgment while driving; (iii) not interact with the app, unless your vehicle is stationary and legally parked; and (iv) not use the RunBuggy Service for any illegal, unauthorized, unintended, unsafe, hazardous, or unlawful purposes.

8.4 No Misrepresentations. Neither you nor any person in your control or service will make any misrepresentation regarding RunBuggy, the RunBuggy Service, the Transport Services, or your status as a Vendor.

8.5 Personal Information. You and/or the Motor Carriers and drivers utilized or assigned by you will keep confidential any consumer, individual, or household personal information protected by any Applicable Laws, rules, or regulations that protect the privacy rights of consumers, individuals or households obtained in the course of providing, or in connection with providing, any Transport Services to any Shipper (collectively, “Personal Information”), and shall only use and disclose such Personal Information to provide the Transport Services to such Shipper, and you shall take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard and protect such Personal Information from any unauthorized access or disclosure. You will comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to such Personal Information.

8.6 Responsibility for Damages. As between you and RunBuggy, you agree that you, or the Motor Carriers arranged by you, are responsible for any damages caused or related to your or such Motor Carrier’s provision of Transport Services.

9. Availability.

You are responsible for obtaining Internet access to use the RunBuggy Service. While RunBuggy makes reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of the RunBuggy Service, you acknowledge that it may be unavailable for limited periods of time due to scheduled routine maintenance, emergency maintenance, or factors beyond RunBuggy’s control, such as disruptions of Internet services or unforeseen threats to the integrity or security of the RunBuggy Service. RunBuggy may at any time, with or without notice to you: (i) restrict the use and accessibility of the RunBuggy Service; (ii) discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any feature of the RunBuggy Service; and/or (iii) replace any feature of the RunBuggy Service with a new, revised, or updated feature. RunBuggy will make reasonable efforts to provide Users notice of significant changes to the RunBuggy Service whenever reasonably feasible.

10. Intellectual Property.

Other RunBuggy, product, and service names and logos used and displayed via the RunBuggy Service may be trademarks or service marks of their respective owners who may or may not endorse or be affiliated with or connected to RunBuggy. Nothing in this Agreement or the RunBuggy Service should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any of RunBuggy Trademarks displayed on the RunBuggy Service, without our prior written permission in each instance. All goodwill generated from the use of RunBuggy Trademarks will inure to our exclusive benefit.

10.3 Third-Party Content. Under no circumstances will RunBuggy be liable in any way for any content or materials of any third parties (including Users), including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any such content. Without limiting the foregoing, RunBuggy and its designees will have the right to remove any content that violates this Agreement or is deemed by RunBuggy, in its sole discretion, to be otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or usefulness of such content. With respect to the content you upload through the RunBuggy Service or share with other Users (collectively, “User Content”), you represent and warrant that you own all right, title and interest in and to such User Content, including, without limitation, all copyrights and rights of publicity contained therein.

10.4 Trade Secrets. Except for those already in the public domain, the algorithms, methods, functions, and architecture underlying the Software and not expressly exposed to the user under a license to access and use the RunBuggy Service are original, commercially valuable, outside scope of public knowledge, and are subject to the reasonable efforts of RunBuggy to maintain their confidentiality. As such, the algorithms, methods, functions, and architecture underlying the Software constitute trade secrets and are protected by applicable law. Therefore, any access or attempt to gain access to such algorithms, methods, functions, and architecture constitutes an actionable violation of applicable law, according to which RunBuggy is entitled to recover.

10.5 User Suggestions. You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information (“Submissions”) provided by you to us are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of RunBuggy. RunBuggy shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of these Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.

11. Vendor Content and Data.

You understand and agree that RunBuggy will have access to content, data, and information related to your provision of Transport Services that is uploaded to the RunBuggy Service by you or Shipper, including pricing and payment terms between you and Shipper, (“Vendor Data”) as may be necessary to provide the RunBuggy Service to Shipper and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. You represent and warrant that you have granted Shipper all licenses in and to Vendor Data necessary to enable Shipper’s use of the RunBuggy Service as contemplated herein. RunBuggy agrees that: (i) it obtains no right, title, or interest in Vendor Data other than as specifically set forth herein; (ii) Vendor Data comprises confidential information subject to confidentiality obligations under Shipper’s HITCH Subscription Agreement; and (iii) it shall only use Vendor Data to provide you and Shippers with the RunBuggy Service, and not for any other purpose competitive with Vendors including, but not limited to, informing RunBuggy product or service pricing.
