Terms and Conditions

XTEND TMS

APPLICATION USE AGREEMENT FOR SHIPPERS

Introduction

This Agreement provides the terms and conditions under which you use the Xtend TMS application (the “Application”). The Application was created by Efreightsolutions, LLC (“EFS”) and is licensed by EFS to Xtend TMS, Inc. (“Xtend”). The Application is available only to shippers and freight brokers. This Agreement is for use of the application as a shipper.

The Application is intended to allow you, as the customer of a freight broker, to interactively make arrangements for the shipment and carriage of freight. This Agreement provides you a limited right to use the Application. Your rights to use the Application are strictly limited to those that are set forth in this Agreement. Xtend reserves all other rights relating to the Application.

Please read this Agreement carefully.  BY USING THE APPLICATION, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  DO NOT USE THE APPLICATION IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

You

When used in this Agreement, the term “you” means the shipper entering into this Agreement. If you are a corporation, limited liability company, or other entity, a representative authorized by you will enter into this Agreement for you. The person who enters into this Agreement for you hereby represents and warrants to Xtend that he or she is authorized to act for you.

This Agreement May Change

Xtend reserves the right to change the terms of this Agreement without notice to you. Each time that Xtend makes a change to this Agreement, you will not thereafter be able to use the Application, and the right granted to you in this Agreement will be suspended, until you agree to the new version of this Agreement. Each time you access or use the Application, you will be doing so under the then current version of this Agreement.

Grant of Limited Right to Use the Application

Xtend grants you a nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferable, and non-assignable right to access and use the Application under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

No Obligation to Use the Application

This Agreement does not obligate you to use the Application. Each time that you use the Application, you will do so by choice and knowing that your use is subject to all of the terms of this Agreement. If you choose to use the Application, you may thereafter stop using the Application at any time and for any reason (or for no reason).

Your Freight Broker

You are using the Application as the customer of a freight broker. This Agreement is not between you and your freight broker and does not modify any agreement between you and your freight broker.

Customer Page

Your freight broker may create a dedicated and branded page for you in the Application (a “Customer Page”). If you have a Customer Page, you hereby grant Xtend and EFS a fully paid, royalty free, and non-exclusive license to use your name and any trademarks, service marks, logos, commercial symbols, slogans, tag lines, and other identifiers associated with your name that you or your freight broker provide to Xtend (collectively, “Marks”) for display on your Customer Page. This license allows EFS and Xtend to use your Marks to identify you in the Application or promotional materials relating to the Application and will be in effect at any time that a Customer Page exists for you. You represent and warrant to EFS and Xtend that none of your Marks infringe or violate any intellectual property or other right belonging to anyone.

Booking Shipments in the Application

When you book a shipment in the Application (a “Shipment”), you will select the motor carrier with which that Shipment is placed (the “Carrier”). Each Shipment will be subject to its Carrier’s then applicable rules tariffs, which you may access through the Application. You understand that a Carrier’s tariffs may limit obligations and remedies with regard to loss or injury to property under 49 U.S.C. §14706.

The shipping rates that are shown to you in the Application are set for you by your freight broker.

Xtend Brokerage

All Shipments will be brokered through the Application by Xtend as a “broker” under 49 U.S.C. §13102(2) and 49 C.F.R. §371.2(a), and as “brokerage” under 49 C.F.R. §371.2(c). However, this Agreement is not an agreement for brokerage between you and Xtend. Xtend will broker Shipments as a service to your freight broker under the terms of an agreement between Xtend and your freight broker. No Carrier will be considered to be a subcontractor of Xtend. Xtend will not act as, and will not be considered to be, the principal or the agent of any Carrier. Xtend will not have, and will not be considered to have, any control over any Carrier or the drivers, equipment, operations, or activities of any Carrier.

Bills of Lading

When you book a Shipment, the Application will generate a Bill of Lading for that Shipment and you will issue that Bill of Lading to the Carrier at the point of origin. The Bills of Lading generated by the Application will show your freight broker as freight broker, the Carrier as carrier, and Xtend’s name or identification number as Third Party Freight Charges Bill To. You will only use a Bill of Lading that is not generated by the Application for a Shipment if (a) the Application fails to generate a Bill of Lading for that Shipment, and (b) the Bill of Lading that you use shows your freight broker as freight broker, the Carrier as carrier, and Xtend’s name or identification number as Third Party Freight Charges Bill To.

Freight Loss or Damage Claims

This Agreement is not an agreement for brokerage or other services between you and Xtend. If you have a loss, damage, delay, or shortage claim relating to a Shipment, you will look to your freight broker with regard to that claim. While Xtend may provide assistance to your freight broker as part of its service to your freight broker, you will not assert your claim against Xtend. Xtend will have no liability to anyone for any loss, damage, delay or shortage claim relating to any Shipment.

Accessing the Application

The Application is hosted by EFS and you will connect to EFS’ servers when accessing and using the Application. When you use the Application, you will comply with EFS’ access, security, and other requirements, as those requirements are made known to you. You will ensure that each person in your organization who uses the Application (a) is authorized by you to use the Application and bind you to transactions made through the Application, (b) is assigned a separate identification and password (“Credentials”) by you and uses only those Credentials when using the Application, (c) logs-off from the Application immediately following each use of the Application, and (d) does not disclose, or allow others to use, his or her Credentials, other than for managerial, supervisory, or administrative purposes that you have approved. You will disable the Credentials of any person in your organization that no longer requires access to the Application, including by reason of a separation from employment.

Termination of Your Ability to Use the Application

Xtend may disable or terminate your ability to use the Application at any time and for any reason (or no reason) without notice to you.

Changes in Appearance, Content, or Functionality

EFS or Xtend may change the appearance, content, or functionality of the Application at any time and from time to time without notice to you. All upgrades or enhancements to the Application that are made available to you will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless additional or different terms are contained in subsequent versions of this Agreement.

Intellectual Property and Other Rights

If you provide Xtend any ideas or suggestions relating to the Application, you hereby grant Xtend a perpetual, unconditional, unrestricted, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty free, and freely transferable license to use and exploit those ideas or suggestions in any manner and for any purpose, without any right to compensation from Xtend and free of all moral, intellectual property, proprietary, trade secret, and other rights.

Third Party Service Providers

Xtend will use the services of EFS and other third parties (together, “Third Party Providers”) in connection with the operation of the Application and transactions conducted through the Application.

However, no Third Party Provider is making any promise or commitment to you in this Agreement.

Your Use of the Application

You will use the Application only as expressly permitted in this Agreement. You will comply with any user guides, rules or policies that Xtend may publish with regard to the use of the Application, provided that those user guides, rules or policies are presented in the Application or a link to the Application. Xtend may change any of those user guides, rules or policies at any time without notice to you. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, you will not (a) engage in any conduct that, in any manner, inhibits or interferes with the ability of any other user to use the Application including, without limitation, by way of your use of any device or software, (b) modify the appearance of the Application, (c) engage in any “hacking” or “spamming” activity through or relating to the Application, (d) communicate with, on or through the Application in any unlawful, harmful, offensive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, libelous, defamatory, obscene, profane, pornographic, sexually explicit, vulgar, bigoted or otherwise objectionable manner, including, without limitation, any manner that encourages activity that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or violate any law, (e) copy or re-publish any part of the Application or prepare derivative works of or from any part of the Application, or decode, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer any part of the Application, (f) use any framing technique to enclose any part of the Application, (g) use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Application for any purpose, including, without limitation, performing offline searches or mirroring, or (h) bypass any systems that EFS or Xtend use to restrict access to the Application.
