DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Freightcab provides a platform via the Mobile App and our Website (defined above as the “Services”) so that Shippers may submit Shipments through the Service.

Once Freightcab accepts a Shipment for posting, the Shipment’s details, as provided by the Shipper, will be posted to the Service. The Shipper may cancel a Shipment at any time prior to a Carrier accepting it. You may view a list of Shipments available to you at any time and accept a Shipment through the Service. Once you accept a Shipment, you will be assigned to perform transportation services related to the Shipment.

Freightcab will notify the Shipper that the Shipment has been accepted. It also will notify you that the Shipment has been assigned to you; PROVIDED, however, that Freightcab does not guarantee that your attempt to accept any Shipment will be successful. Freightcab assigns Shipments to the first Carrier which accepts the posting. If the original Carrier assignment fails for whatever reason, the Shipment will be re-posted to the Service.

Within a reasonable time after accepting tender of cargo for transport, you shall upload to the Service your bill of lading for the shipment. You shall not name Freightcab as either a shipper or consignee on any bill of lading. Freightcab is not responsible for any Shipment terms entered into between you and a Shipper.

Unless otherwise agreed, freight charges stated in the App and agreed to by your acceptance of Shipments hereunder include the transportation of the cargo from origin to destination; the cost of any fuel, tolls, ferry charges or other expenses related to the operation or maintenance of your equipment; and any other specialized services or equipment contemplated in the load tender (including, but not limited to amounts for refrigerated trailers, lift-gate service, loading or unloading, etc.). If any additional services not contemplated at the time a Shipment is posted are provided by Carrier. Carrier will use its best efforts to provide Freightcab advance notice of any and all unspecified ancillary services or costs incurred so that Freightcab may attempt to obtain Shipper approval of such charges. Absent express prior agreement, Freightcab does not guarantee that invoices for accessorial and/or ancillary services will be paid.

Once a Shipment is completed, you shall post to the Service a proof of delivery signed by the authorized recipient within 24 hours of delivery.

Freightcab may, as a convenience and value added service, provide you through the Service with access to GPS services, Google Maps or similar service to suggest routing. However, any such routing information is for your convenience only. It is not instructional or mandatory.

You will furnish equipment for transporting cargo which is clean, dry, leak proof, free from harmful or offensive odor, sanitary, and free of any contamination, suitable for the particular commodity being transported and which will not cause in whole or in part adulteration of the commodity as defined in 21 U.S.C § 342.
  
  Unless a trailer is pre-loaded and sealed prior to Carrier’s arrival at destination, and the applicable bill of lading bears a “shipper load and count”, “SLC” or similar designation, Carrier is solely responsible for ensure that all equipment has been properly loaded, secured, blocked and braced. You acknowledge that Freightcab will never be in possession of any cargo being transported in connection with use of the Service, and that Freightcab will not be responsible or have any role in the securement of cargo for transportation.

Shipper and Freightcab shall have twelve (12) months from the date of delivery of any Shipment (or, if no delivery, then not less than twelve (12) months from the date on which delivery should have occurred) during which to file claims. Shipper and Freightcab shall have not less than two (2) years from the date of denial of all or any part of any such claim during which to initiate a legal proceeding with respect to such claim.

If cargo is tendered and a reasonable person would understand such cargo to require controlled temperature service, and no such service has been requested, Carrier shall contact Freightcab immediately and in any event, prior to loading any such cargo onto Carrier’s conveyance. Without limiting the foregoing, if Carrier is providing service with respect to commodities requiring temperature control, Carrier shall ensure that its equipment is pre-cooled to required temperature ranges prior to or at the time of loading, and shall ensure that temperature is maintained at all times within specified temperature ranges. Carrier shall maintain the ability to provide a downloadable report of temperature during transit, and will retain such records for no less than two (2) years from the date of delivery, which records will be made available to Freightcab or Shipper upon request.

  - Any attempt to limit your liability for lost, destroyed, damaged or delayed Shipments, including, but not limited to, via provisions contained in any bill of lading, delivery receipt or tariff shall be deemed null and void.

12. You understand and agree that Freightcab, from time to time, enters into master transportation contracts or like documents with certain shippers. Such contracts often provide that their terms preempt and govern over any term within a bill of lading or other shipping document that conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with the contracts. To the extent any transport you undertake hereunder is governed by a contract between Freightcab and a shipper containing such a clause, you agree that any bill of lading or other document you issue shall be subordinate to and preempted by such contract’s terms. Freightcab will advise you on request as to whether any such master transportation contract or like document containing a preemptive clause exists with respect to specific shipments you undertake.

CHOICE OF LAW
Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, this Agreement shall be deemed executed in the State of Washington and shall be interpreted, in the event of a dispute arising hereunder, under the laws of Washington without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. The parties specifically disclaim application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties waive any and all rights and remedies provided by Part B to Title IV of Title 49 to the U.S. Code to the extent such rights and remedies conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event of a dispute arising out of this Agreement related to claims by or against Freightcab, a party’s recourse shall be exclusively settled through binding and confidential arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be conducted before one arbitrator from the Transportation ADR Council, Inc. (“TAC”). Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted under the rules of the TAC.

Upon agreement of the parties, arbitration proceedings may be conducted outside of the administrative control of the TAC. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and final and the award of the arbitrator may be entered as judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees as well as those incurred in any action for injunctive relief, or in the event further legal action is taken to enforce the award of the arbitrator.

Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in King County, Washington, or at such place as mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. At any time, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in King County, Washington for injunctive or other equitable relief. In the event that either party is granted equitable relief, the party against whom judgment is entered shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees. This paragraph shall not apply to enforcement of an award of arbitration.

The parties may also proceed in Small Claims Court in King County, Washington to resolve any dispute where reasonably expected damages are less than $5,000. Unless preempted or controlled by federal law and regulations, this agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the State of Washington.

This paragraph does not apply to claims you may have against a Shipper.
