Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 25, 2018

1. Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to Mad Freight!  Mad Freight is a place to request items to be delivered, and for people to pick up items to be delivered and make money while doing so.  We do that by giving them access to our world-class software, applications, and other tools.  In this Agreement, the term “Services” is used to refer to all Mad Freight’s mobile applications, related software, online platforms, personalized content, and any other services and tools now known or later developed by Mad Freight.

We hope you will carefully read through these Terms of Service (“Agreement”), since it is a binding agreement between you and Mad Freight, Inc. (“Mad Freight,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”), which owns and offers the Services pursuant to this Agreement.  It is effective when you sign up or otherwise use or purchase any of the Services or access any content or material that is made available by Mad Freight through the Services (the “Content”).

This Agreement incorporates our Privacy Policy (madfreight.com/privacy).  You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreement and agree to be bound by it. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreement, then you may not use the Service. 

If you wish to use the Services, you must be at least 18 years old or be at least 13 and have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.  You must have the ability to legal enter into a contract, and you agree to keep the information you provide to us current at all times.

For purposes of clarity, the term “Services” includes all functionality made available through the Services, such as the help desk system, any new features or enhancements, any beta version, connectivity API’s, and related support services.  Company reserves the right at any time to change or discontinue the Services with or without notice.  You agree that Company shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Services.  The term “Services,” when capitalized in this Agreement, does not include any delivery service or other on-the-ground service.  It is limited solely to the items specifically defined as “Services” in this Agreement.

You may sign up for Services using an online form, paper agreement, or other paper or electronic means acceptable to Mad Freight (“Order Form”).  The Order Form is incorporated into this Agreement, and you agree to its provisions as if it were fully set forth herein.  To the extent any provision of a duly executed Order Form accepted by Mad Freight conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Order Form will prevail.

2.  User Interaction and Communications

The Services are designed to allow users to post delivery requests and to respond to such requests.  You agree to use the Services for that purpose only.  Any other use is strictly prohibited.  

You agree that all communications between you and other users will occur through the Services and that you will not communicate with other users using any other methods in an attempt to circumvent payment obligations.

When you use the Services or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically.  We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on our website.  You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. 

You must use the Services only in a truthful and fully-transparent manner.  You may not make promises you cannot keep or make representations that are not completely true.  If you become aware of any statement that is or becomes false at any time, you must correct the statement as soon as it becomes untrue.

3.  Received Materials and Storage Limitations

If you send us any comments, materials, or letters including, without limitation, questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms or the like (“Received Materials”), those Received Materials may be deemed by us to be non-confidential and free of any claims of proprietary or personal rights.  Company shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to such Received Materials, and Company will be free to reproduce, use, disclose, exhibit, display, transform, edit, abridge, create derivative works from and/or distribute the Received Materials without limitation or restriction.  Furthermore, Company is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to Company for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information or ideas, without compensation or any other obligations to anyone, including you.

You acknowledge that Mad Freight may set up any such practices and/or limits regarding the use of our Services, without limitation of the maximum number of days that any email, message posting or any other uploaded content shall be retained by Mad Freight, nor the maximum number of email messages that may be sent and/or received by any member, the maximum volume or size of any email message that may be sent from or may be received by an account on our Service, the maximum disk space allowable that shall be allocated on Mad Freight’s servers on the member’s behalf, and/or the maximum number of times and/or duration that any member may access our Services in a given period of time. In addition, you also agree that Mad Freight has absolutely no responsibility or liability for the removal or failure to maintain storage of any messages and/or other communications or content maintained or transmitted by our Services. You also acknowledge that we reserve the right to delete or remove any account that is no longer active for an extended period of time. Furthermore, Mad Freight shall reserve the right to modify, alter and/or update these general practices and limits at our discretion.

4.  Changes to this Agreement

At certain times, we may in our discretion need to make revisions to this Agreement.  If we do, we will notify you by posting notices on the website or by e-mailing you, as appropriate in the circumstances.  If you continue using the Services after the effective date of the changes, you will be deemed to have accepted the revisions.  If you do not agree to the revisions, you may terminate this Agreement by notifying us via e-mail at [email protected].  Any other changes to this Agreement must be in writing signed by both parties.

5.  Services, Payment, and Term

Certain of our Services are offered without charge.  For others, you are required to pay a subscription or other fee (“Fee”).  The description of which Services are free and which Services require the payment of Fees is set forth in the Order Form describing the Services when you sign up, and the Services and the Fees payable may change from time to time with or without notice.  If you agree with another user to make delivery or provide other services, all payments and reimbursement obligations shall be binding only on the users who are the providers and recipients of those delivery or other services.  Mad Freight shall not be responsible for the failure of any recipient of delivery or other services to pay for those services.

When you sign up using a credit card or other payment method, you authorize us to make the charges disclosed to you at the time you sign up, including recurring payments, where applicable. 

The term of this Agreement shall be the period set forth in the Order Form, or if no term is set forth in the Order form, a period of one year, with renewal occurring automatically at the end of each year unless a party notifies the other not less than 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term that it intends to terminate this Agreement.

6.  Trials and Beta Testing

From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer access to beta models of the Services or trials of paid subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (each, a “Trial”).  We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law.

For some Trials, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. AT THE END OF SUCH TRIALS, WE MAY AUTOMATICALLY START TO CHARGE YOU THE APPLICABLE FEES ON THE FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE END OF THE TRIAL, ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS. BY PROVIDING YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRIAL, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHARGE USING SUCH PAYMENT DETAILS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHARGE, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING MONTHLY PERIOD. PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.

IF THE TRIAL CONSISTS OF ACCESS TO A BETA MODEL, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION A BETA MODEL OF HARDWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BETA MODEL HAS NOT BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO DEFECTS THAT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE IN A FULLY DEVELOPED VERSION.  YOU AGREE THAT THE SALE OF OR LICENSE UNDER A BETA TRIAL IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY, AS WELL AS NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY OTHER WARRANTY.  BETA USERS HAVE NO CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST US FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.

If you wish to opt out of any disclosures of your information to third parties or to make corrections or modifications to your personal information, you may log into your account and make the changes necessary.  The use of your information can be limited, or the information can be corrected, deleted, or exported to you or a third-party of your choice, except as required by law as indicated above.

The GDPR requires that we have a lawful basis for our processing of information about you.  For our users, this lawful basis is this Agreement under which we provide you the Services.  We only process your information in connection with our contractual relationship with you and only in a manner that furthers the purposes of that contractual relationship.  Our Privacy Policy outlines those purposes.  If we wish to use your Information in a manner not disclosed by this Privacy Policy, we will contact you and obtain your consent before doing so.

For employees and other authorized users operating in their role as administrators or users of our Services, our lawful basis is the legitimate interest we have in providing the Services to you. 

In turn, you, your employees, and your other authorized users (if any) agree to be bound by the provisions of the any and all privacy and security obligations imposed by any government with respect to any personal data (“Data”) with which you come in contact using the Services, including without limitation the personal data belonging to individuals with whom you communicate or whose personal data you access using the Services.  Specifically, you agree that you, your employees, or other authorized users will:

A. Never access, process, transfer, view, use, or store any Data of any third party without express authorization, and then only for purposes directly related to fulfilling your contractual obligations under your agreement with any third party (“Data Secrecy”);

B. Keep all Data strictly confidential and disclose Data only on a strict need-to-know basis to other employees or authorized users only as required for fulfilling an individual’s contractual obligations (“Confidentiality”); however, you agree that you shall not disclose or otherwise make accessible Data under any circumstances to anyone who has not been obliged to Data Secrecy and Confidentiality. 

C. Ensure that your obligations of Data Secrecy and Confidentiality are observed forever, both during and after the expiration and/or termination of any agreement with us or any contractual relationship you may have with an employer or other party.

D. Upon our request to provide Company with satisfactory evidence that you have complied with your obligations of Data Secrecy and Confidentiality as set forth in this agreement. 

The GDPR also requires us to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of Data belonging to residents of Europe.  We make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy and security of the Data of our European visitors and customers, and we are happy to give you a complete description of our most current efforts, if you will write us at [email protected].
