UNIVERSAL TERMS & CONDITIONS:

By clicking the “Accept” button on your emailed electronic quote/estimate OR by signing and submitting this Service Agreement (hereafter “Agreement”) online, sending via mail, fax, email, the Customer (hereafter “Shipper”, “you”, “your”) affirms that they understand and agree to all the terms listed herein in part and in whole and that they are hiring Plymouth Auto Transport, LLC dba Plymouth Transportation (hereafter “PAT”, “PT”, “Plymouth”), a licensed & bonded transportation brokerage (MC#768999), to provide any and all services required to arrange the shipment of their vehicle(s) with a Common or Contract Carrier (hereafter “Carrier”). You also verify that you have read, understand, and will abide by the following terms and conditions without protest. This agreement supersedes all prior written and oral representations of PAT and constitutes the entire agreement between the Shipper and PAT and may not be changed except in writing signed and dated by you and an officer of PAT. Having accepted this initial quote/estimate, the Shipper authorizes the officer(s)/agent(s) of PAT to operate as their representative to fully insured and validly licensed motor carriers and to hire a reputable transporter to ship their vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. The Shipper also expresses that they have fully read and understood the terms and conditions of this agreement to include available insurance options and authorizes payment to be made using the method selected by PAT in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

OWNERSHIP – The Shipper warrants that they are the registered legal owner of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., or that they have been authorized by the legal owner(s) to enter this agreement. The Shipper agrees to pay the Total Amount Due for delivery of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., including all COD amounts and any additional charges agreed upon and set forth in the “Dispatch Agreement” aka Purchase Order between PAT & Carrier and as disclosed according to the terms listed in the “PAYMENTS & DELIVERY” section below. The terms of the Dispatch Agreement will be provided within an invoice from PAT to Shipper only when a valid carrier has been contracted for transportation of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., and any CODs listed therein must be paid in cash, cashier’s check, or money order to the assigned carrier unless otherwise agreed to by the Carrier.

CONDITION – If applicable, your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. is/are considered in operational condition and must always be able to be driven onto and off the carrier under its own power during shipment unless clearly noted on your order as ‘In-op’ or ‘Non- operational’. Non-operational vehicle(s)/equipment must roll, brake, and steer. vehicle(s)/equipment that is non-operational or becomes non-operational during shipment, for any reason, will be subject to an additional non-operational fee of $250.00 per vehicle(s)/equipment. The Shipper shall inform PAT if the vehicle(s)/equipment is inoperable (unable to be driven under its own power) or oversized (lift kit, oversized tires, dually, etc.). If PAT & Carrier are not informed of the inoperable and/or oversized vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. prior to pick-up, any additional charges to accommodate transport of the inoperable and/or oversized vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. must be paid prior to delivery. The Shipper shall prepare the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. for shipment including the removal of all non-permanent outside mounted luggage and other racks prior to shipment unless otherwise allowed by Carrier.

PAT recommends each vehicle(s)/equipment contain no more than ¼ tank of fuel, as well as the removal of all personal items. Carrier requires you to prepare your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. for transport by disarming any alarm systems and/or providing necessary remotes for alarm systems and removing or retracting all loose and/or protruding accessories from your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. You agree and understand that your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. must be free of contents as neither PAT nor Carrier are licensed to handle the transportation of “Household Goods.” Damage or injury caused by, to, loss, or fines levied to Carrier resulting from any unauthorized contents present in the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. during shipment is the sole responsibility of the Shipper.

The Total Amount Due for the transportation of your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. is factored using numerous pieces of information including, but not limited to, the size and/or weight of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. Misrepresentation to PAT of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. size and/or weight may result in additional fees and/or the cancellation of the order. Orders canceled due to misrepresentation of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. will forfeit any fees that have already been paid by the Shipper.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. is/are ready to be released to the chosen Carrier by the projected pick-up date given on the order. Failure to release the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. to the chosen Carrier on or after the date provided by you when placing your order may result in a ‘Dry Run’ Fee. PAT’s ‘Dry Run’ fee to the Shipper is $350.00 or 25% of the Total Amount Due, whichever is greater.

INSURANCE – The Shipper accepts that the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. will be primarily insured and covered for the loss by the Carrier’s motor freight cargo insurance policy as defined by the limits set forth by the Carrier’s insurance providers. An optional trip cargo insurance policy is also available upon request, and PAT will file for the requested amount with the insurance provider of PAT’s own choosing. Upon approval by the underwriter(s), the excess insurance will be paid for entirely by the Shipper and charged by PAT using the payment method selected by PAT plus a 5% processing fee. Purchasing trip cargo insurance will also incur a separate filing fee of $50.00 payable to PAT. ANY CLAIM FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE MUST BE NOTED AND SIGNED BY THE SHIPPER AND CARRIER ON THE CONDITION REPORT AT TIME OF DELIVERY. SIGNING THE CARRIER’S BILL OF LADING AT DESTINATION WITHOUT NOTATION OF DAMAGES SHALL BE EVIDENCE OF SATISFACTORY DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC., AND THE SHIPPER MAY BE PRECLUDED FROM FILING ANY CLAIMS TO THE CONTRARY.

All Carriers selected by PAT are considered Acceptable by maintaining a policy with at least $1,000,000.00 of liability insurance issued by an AM Best A, B, or C-rated company or otherwise providing evidence of reinsurance by an A-Rated company as well as holding a minimum $100,000.00 of cargo insurance to protect all vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. on their trailer during transport to the destination. PAT considers Carriers with lower-rated or not rated policies Moderate but requires higher standards of safety for these partners as demonstrated by the Carrier’s current safety data provided by FMCSA at the time of dispatching the Shipper’s vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. The Carrier may choose, at their own discretion, to cover any damage directly by repairing, paying for repairs, or offering reimbursement for approved repairs. Standard policies vary depending on the number of vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. a Carrier can haul at once, but most Carriers contracted by PAT maintain a cargo policy ranging from $100,000.00 to $500,000.00 total.

You may, at any time, request and receive from PAT, a copy of the Operating Authority as well as the Insurance Certificate for the Carrier selected for your order. Copies of the Carrier’s bill of lading may be obtained from the Carrier’s driver and/or their main office at the phone numbers provided. You are further granted the right and ability to refuse the service of the selected Carrier based on this or any other information and to request to be contracted to a different Carrier by PAT, however, this will constitute a new order and you may be charged an additional fee of $50.00 per vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. at PAT’s discretion.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – PAT & Carrier shall not be liable for damage or loss excluded or limited by their separate insurance policies; examples of such exclusions and limitations may include but are not limited to the following: damages caused by mechanical malfunctions; defective or insufficient brakes, parking brake or parking gear; overloaded vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc.; acts of God; damage caused by tie-downs that break or tear due to vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. age or conditions; any damages caused by the loading or unloading of inoperable and low profile vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc.; any convertible tops that are loose, torn, or have visible wear, bras, or any other type of canvas or material covering, leaking fluids, freezing, or antennas not tied down. Inspection of mechanical functions, exhaust systems, alignment, suspension, or tuning of the engine is not practical at the time of shipment. If the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. shall become inoperable during transport an additional fee of $250.00 minimum will be charged to the Shipper. Any claim of damages caused by the assigned Carrier must be reported immediately to Carrier and/or their insurance provider. SHIPPER MAY NOT FILE ANY CLAIM AGAINST PAT BEYOND THE SCOPE OF LIABILITY FOR PROPERTY BROKERS AS PROVIDED WITHIN TITLE 49 USC & 49 CFR, SUBTITLE B, CHAPTER III, SUBCHAPTER B, PART 371. SHIPPER WILL NOT SEEK TO CHARGE BACK A CREDIT CARD OR STOP A CHECK TO OFFSET ANY DISPUTE FOR DAMAGE CLAIM.

You agree and understand that when the Carrier accepts and transports your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., they will perform a vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. inspection and provide a report (aka “Bill of Lading” or “Vehicle Condition Report”) at the origin. It is in your best interest to meet the Carrier or have your Agent meet the Carrier for pick-up and delivery. PAT advises that you should not, under any circumstances, release a vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. to a Carrier without a copy of this report. You and Carrier, or your Agent and Carrier, are both required to sign and verify the initial vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. inspection report. Failure to do so could result in your inability to process a damage claim. Within the scope of their individual insurance policies, the Carrier assumes responsibility for any damage not noted on the initial vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. inspection report from that point, and throughout the transportation period, until the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. is/are delivered at the agreed destination. THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CARRIER’S STRAIGHT BILL OF LADING SPECIFICALLY PERTAINING TO ANY LIABILITY EXCLUSIONS. 

You and Carrier, or your Agent and Carrier, must thoroughly inspect the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. one final time upon delivery and both must sign the final vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. inspection report. In the event there is damage during transport, You or your Agent must note those damages on the final vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. inspection report, pay the remaining balance due that is stated on the Carrier contract and then contact the Carrier’s main office and, subsequently, their insurance company. Failure to note any damage on the final vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. inspection report may release the Carrier of liability and could result in your inability to process a damage claim. Although PAT is not liable for damages caused by the Carrier, we recommend that you inform us no later than three (3) days from discovering such damage, so we may assist you with your claim where not otherwise prohibited by law. THE SHIPPER UNDERSTANDS THAT PAT BEARS NO LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC., AND AGREES TO HOLD PAT HARMLESS FOR ANY DAMAGE WHICH MAY BE INFLICTED UPON THEIR VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC. DURING TRANSPORT OR AT ANY OTHER TIME.

RESTRICTED ITEMS – Vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. should be free of any personal or household items. PAT & Carrier are not responsible for personal items left in the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., or for damage caused to the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. from excessive or improper loading of personal items. PAT & Carrier are not authorized to transport or insure any items other than the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. And are required by law to prohibit the shipper from transporting any items within their vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. ANY ITEMS SHIPPED WITHIN THE CONTRACTED VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC. IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED AND MAY RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF SERVICE BY THE ASSIGNED CARRIER. IN THE EVENT THE CARRIER CANCELS DUE TO RESTRICTED ITEMS, PAT MAY CANCEL THE SHIPPER’S ORDER WITHOUT REFUND OR PROCESS THE SHIPPER’S LOAD AS A NEW ORDER INCURRING AN ADDITIONAL $250.00 SERVICE FEE.

OPTIONAL COVERAGE TERMS & CONDITIONS:

DAMAGE WAIVER – To assure our Shippers, PAT provides them with a unique damage waiver pursuant to the following limitations: If there is damage to your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. that is less than the Carrier’s deductible, and the Carrier rejects or fails to process your claim (outside of the Carrier’s own insurance policy’s standard exclusions) for damage allegedly caused by the Carrier, requiring you to either pay for repairs or file a claim with your own insurance company, PAT will provide the Shipper up to $2,500.00 in order to cover your out-of-pocket expenses for repairs or your reimbursement for your own insurance deductible. For example, if you purchase $1,000.00 in damage waiver coverage and file a claim under your insurance policy and your deductible is $500.00, upon acceptance by PAT, you will receive $500.00. If your lowest repair estimate is $250.00, upon acceptance by PAT, you will receive $250.00. The amount you receive is contingent on the amount of coverage you purchase prior to shipping your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. AND the actual amount billed for repairs OR your insurance deductible.

You understand and agree that PAT, by offering this ‘Damage Waiver’, does not accept any liability for damages occurring before, during, or after transport. Further, to request this coverage from PAT, you must first attempt to file a claim with Carrier and/or the Carrier’s insurance company and be denied coverage. Also, you need to provide documentation that the Carrier claim was sent and ignored or denied as well as either three individual repair estimates or proof that you have filed a claim with your own insurance carrier and paid your own deductible. This coverage is only available upon request and receipt of an additional fee; the minimum fee is $50.00 for the base $250.00 coverage. Coverage is available up to $2,500.00 upon request. Coverage is offered and charged to the Shipper as follows:

THE DAMAGE WAIVER IS NOT INSURANCE AND SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS INSURANCE. IT IS A COMMITMENT BY PLYMOUTH AUTO TRANSPORT, LLC TO REIMBURSE OUR SHIPPERS FOR UNCOVERED AND UNEXPECTED OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. THE DAMAGE WAIVER MUST BE PURCHASED PRIOR TO THE CARRIER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE SHIPPER’S VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC.

CARWASH SERVICE – PAT may provide up to $20.00 reimbursement per vehicle for carwash service if notified by the Shipper within 48 hours of the assigned Carrier delivering the Shipper’s vehicle(s). The Shipper must notify PAT via text message or email and provide images of the vehicle(s) and carwash receipt in order to receive this reimbursement. PAT may provide reimbursement for carwash service via partial credit card refund, check in the mail, Zelle, CashApp, or Venmo.

TRANSIT TIMES & GUARANTEES – PAT does not agree to transport the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. on any specific truck, nor in time for any scheduled event, due to possible delays caused by but not limited to federal regulations, weather, road conditions, mechanical problems, inspections, etc. The Carrier shall use its best efforts to deliver the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. within the estimated time; however unforeseeable factors previously mentioned may delay delivery beyond the estimated time. PAT & Carrier do not guarantee the date or time of pick-up and/or delivery. YOU MAY REQUEST A GUARANTEED PICK-UP DATE WITH AT LEAST 48 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE. GUARANTEED PICK-UP REQUESTS WILL INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $250.00 PER VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC. THE GUARANTEED PICK-UP FEE IS DUE IMMEDIATELY UPON REQUEST OF THIS SERVICE AND IS NONREFUNDABLE. THE ADDITIONAL FEE PAID FOR GUARANTEED PICK-UP DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY STORAGE FEES THAT MAY RESULT FROM REQUESTING THIS SERVICE. This coverage will not be valid on any orders where the Reservation Fee is equal to any amount lower than $250.00 total per vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. unless requested by our qualified Military, Veteran, and First Responder customers with Reservation Fees equal to not less than $125.00 total per vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. PAT may withdraw or amend this coverage at any time, for any reason, and without further notice. In the event, such withdrawal or amendment occurs while a vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. with said coverage is dispatched, in transit, delivered, or pending an insurance claim, PAT reserves the right to refund the Shipper the amount paid for this coverage.

Once a Carrier is assigned to your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., you will be given the expected dates for pick-up and delivery when possible as well as the Carrier name and direct business phone number. Any dates given are the Carrier’s projections only and are given solely to assist both you and the Carrier in the general arrangement of your schedules; dates provided are not guaranteed, as certain conditions can alter a Carrier’s schedule (i.e., federal regulations, weather, road conditions, mechanical problems, inspections, etc.) However, the standard pick-up and delivery windows are within 72 hours of the expected dates assigned. You agree to hold PAT harmless for any expenses incurred as the result of any delays, including, but not limited to, any car rental fees or living accommodation expenses you incur. It is strongly recommended that you maintain reasonable contact with the Carrier and/or PAT to stay up to date on any schedule changes.

AUTO RENTAL COVERAGE – Although PAT is not liable for delays, the Shipper may purchase our optional Auto Rental Coverage. This coverage is available to the Shipper if delivery extends more than three (3) days after the listed expected delivery date. The Carrier may adjust the expected delivery date with email notification and/or at least 24 hours’ notice which will impact this coverage. The cost of this coverage is as follows:

GPS TRACKING SERVICE – The Shipper may request GPS tracking provided by PAT via our AutoTracker service any time up to five (5) days prior to the scheduled pick-up. Separate terms of service will be provided covering the use of the GPS as well as a detailed lease/purchase agreement. In short, the GPS, including a lifetime service plan, is provided to the Shipper with a deposit of $250.00 plus shipping costs to be determined at time of ordering this service. If returned within seven (7) days of the actual delivery date, the Shipper will be refunded $125.00. Failure to return the GPS tracking device within seven (7) days of delivery will result in forfeiture of the $250.00 deposit. The Shipper may request the GPS tracking service even if the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. being shipped is not contracted to PAT.

DAILY CHECK CALL SERVICE – The Shipper may request Daily Check Calls be provided by PAT at any time. Upon receiving this request, PAT will add the Shipper to our Daily Check Call list at a rate of $5.00 per day for the duration of the shipment while in transit. Daily Check Calls are made by PAT to the Carrier, however, updates on exact locations are not guaranteed. PAT will provide the Shipper with a phone call, text message, or email update based on the Carrier’s daily report with this optional service request. Ordinarily, the Carrier is the primary point of contact for the Shipper, and PAT serves in a support role.

PAYMENTS, DELIVERY, AND REFUND DETAILS:

AUTHORITY TO DISPATCH – The Shipper agrees to pay the Total Amount Due using the method(s) provided by PAT without additional notice if the Total Amount Due is equal to or less than the original estimate. PAT is permitted to dispatch the Shipper’s vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. without additional notice, if the anticipated load date falls within three (3) days of the first available date noted within this agreement. PAT will provide additional notice of the total charges via email, phone call, voice message, or text message if this amount exceeds the original estimate. PAT may assume the new Total Amount Due has been agreed to if the Shipper has not responded within twelve (12) hours of notification of these changes being sent, and PAT may then dispatch the Shipper’s vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. to Carrier.

RESERVATION FEE – A Reservation Fee is due once the assigned Carrier has loaded the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. listed on your order. An invoice including the Reservation Fee is due on the date listed and may be paid via the link provided or charged by PAT to the Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®, or Debit Card if provided to PAT or via PayPal invoicing sent separately upon request. This fee is nonrefundable – SEE “MONEY BACK GUARANTEE” CLAUSE FOR THE ONLY EXCEPTION. Upon releasing your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. to the Carrier selected, you accept the service from PAT to be complete. Any fees due to PAT but not paid by the due date listed on the invoice or immediately following the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. being loaded onto the assigned Carrier’s trailer will become past due.

LATE FEES & INTEREST – The Shipper will be granted a one (1) day grace period from the due date to settle any past due amount. Amounts still due beyond the one (1) day grace period may be assessed a Late Fee of 5% of the total shipping cost which will be added, along with the past due amount, to any amount due on delivery and collected by the Carrier before the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. will be released at the delivery point. If the Shipper has elected to pay the Total Amount Due to PAT rather than a portion on pick-up or delivery, PAT will instruct the Carrier to hold or store the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. until all fees have been collected. Any additional expenses resulting from this hold/store are the sole responsibility of the Shipper and must be paid prior to the release of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. For Shippers billed on terms/credit, any fees due to PAT but not paid by the due date listed on the invoice will become past due. These amounts may be assessed a Late Fee of 5% of the total shipping cost which may be added to the invoice and updated monthly until payment has been received. PAT may instruct the Carrier(s) transporting the Shipper’s other vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. to hold or store the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. until all fees have been collected and the Shipper’s account brought current. Any additional expenses resulting from this hold/store are the sole responsibility of the Shipper and must be paid prior to the release of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. Shipper may also lose their credit standing with PAT completely or until all fees have been received. In addition to this Late Fee, the Shipper may be charged 1.5% interest each month on the outstanding past due amount until all fees have been paid to PAT. IF THE RESERVATION FEE AND LATE FEE REMAIN UNPAID FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS, THE SHIPPER WILL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A $200.00 COLLECTION FEE OR 10% OF THE TOTAL, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

PICK-UP & DELIVERY –The Carrier will contact you or your Agent by phone at the numbers you have provided, to schedule an appointment for pick-up and delivery of the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. It is your responsibility to verify that all contact phone numbers provided to PAT and subsequently to the Carrier are correct. If you are unable to meet the driver for an appointed time for pick-up or delivery, you may designate an agent on your behalf to release and/or accept the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. You understand that if neither you nor your Agent can accept and/or remit proper payment for the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. on delivery at the destination, the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. may be stored in a facility chosen by the Carrier at your expense. SHIPPER MAY AUTHORIZE CARRIER TO PICK-UP AND/OR DELIVER VEHICLE(S), EQUIPMENT, FREIGHT, ETC. WITHOUT SHIPPER OR SHIPPER’S AGENT BEING PRESENT. IN SUCH CASES, SHIPPER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR PRIOR TO PICK-UP AND FOLLOWING DELIVERY.

LOCATIONS & ROUTING – If the Carrier is unable to access the pick-up or delivery addresses provided by you for any reason, you agree to meet the Carrier at a nearby location, for the Carrier to safely pick-up or deliver your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. Alternatively, you authorize PAT or the Carrier, at their discretion, to subcontract a local service, (i.e., flatbed) at the Carrier’s expense, to assist the Carrier in providing ‘door-to-door’ pick-up or delivery. Additionally, PAT reserves the right to arrange transportation of the Shipper’s vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. along whichever route and from any origin to any destination most conducive as determined by PAT. PAT will notify the Shipper of the determined route via text, phone call, email, order update, etc., and may assume the Shipper’s consent unless otherwise expressed by the Shipper via email or text message.

PAYMENTS DUE ON DELIVERY – Payments for any balance due which has not been covered in the invoice provided by PAT must be made directly to the Carrier on or before delivery of your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. unless payment on pick-up is pre-arranged. If approved by the Carrier, the Shipper may elect to pay the remaining balance due to the Carrier via invoice paid to PAT once the Shipper’s vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. is picked up or via credit card if provided. PAT will charge this amount plus a 5% processing fee once the Carrier has confirmed pick-up. The Carrier typically only accepts Cash or Cashier’s Check for payments made directly to the driver or Carrier upon delivery, however, some Carriers may accept credit cards, Zelle, CashApp, or Venmo. It is up to the Shipper & Carrier to determine the best method of payment upon delivery. PAT will list all payments on delivery as Cash or Cashier’s Check unless otherwise approved in advance of PAT invoice being emailed to the Shipper. All payments due on delivery are listed within the invoice PAT will provide showing the Carrier name and amount due. It is the Shipper’s responsibility to verify the Carrier’s preferred method and/or the proper spelling of their Company’s name for such payment.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES – In the event, the Shipper is unavailable or unreachable within 24 hours prior to the expected delivery date (72-hour window), storage and re-delivery charge may be assessed pursuant to the Carrier’s company policies. The Shipper shall pay all costs, including storage, towing and additional delivery costs incurred because of Shipper’s breach of any warranty or obligation under this agreement. The Shipper agrees to hold PAT & Carrier harmless of any costs, expenses, damages, losses, and claims caused by Shipper’s breach of any warranty or obligations under this agreement. Auto rental accruals will not be honored unless Auto Rental Coverage has been purchased prior to pick-up, OR if the Shipper is unavailable or unreachable within 24 hours prior to the expected delivery date (72-hour window).

DRIVER CANCELLATION & REFUNDS – If the Carrier cancels the Dispatch Agreement at any time up to loading the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc., PAT guarantees to maintain this agreement with the Shipper indefinitely without seeking additional payment for PAT’s service. If PAT is unable to reassign the Shipper’s vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. to an alternate carrier, or the Shipper cancels this agreement with PAT, any fees or deposits already paid may be refunded to the Shipper.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE – PAT will refund the Reservation Fee if your assigned Carrier cancels your shipment and we are unable to secure a new Carrier to transport your vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. within two (2) weeks of your selected availability date.

TARGET PRICING – PAT uses our experience and consistent exposure in the market to provide the most accurate estimates for our Shipper clients. Our suggested rate is not a guarantee; however, it is based on our assessment of each Shipper’s lane in real-time with all shipment details considered and all fees included. If the Shipper would like to target a specific price below our suggested rate, PAT reserves the right to assess a deposit of $50.00 per vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. which is due prior to the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. being listed to digital freight marketplaces or added to PAT solicitations. Any fee assessed for Target Pricing is nonrefundable.

PAYMENT SELECTION AMENDMENTS – PAT reserves the right to amend the method of payment in response to the Shipper’s failure to submit payment using the method selected by PAT or if the payment information provided proves to be invalid in any way. In these cases, PAT will notify the Shipper & Carrier of these changes by email, phone call, voice message, or text message and the Shipper agrees to accept these changes without requiring additional notification or signed agreement. Any attempt by the Shipper to charge back or withhold payment to either PAT or the Carrier will be considered a breach of contract and result in an additional penalty to the Shipper. Such penalty includes but is not limited to a $250.00 convenience fee for processing unwarranted chargebacks or dispute claims per occurrence, the greater between $200 or 10% of the total shipping cost, and 1.5% interest monthly until all fees have been collected by PAT and/or Carrier.

FORFEITURE OF DEPOSITS & CANCELLATION FEE – The Shipper may cancel their order without penalty at any time prior to the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. being picked up. However, any cancellations ordered after the vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. have been contracted to Carrier will result in forfeiture of all deposits and/or fees with PAT or a non-refundable $50.00 cancellation fee per vehicle(s), equipment, freight, etc. which may be applied to any shipment scheduled within twelve (12) months of cancellation. Payments falling under “TARGET PRICING” terms remain nonrefundable in any event of cancellation – SEE “TARGET PRICING” FOR DETAILS. The Shipper will not seek to charge back the cancellation fee, or any fees assessed prior to cancellation for any reason including but not limited to PAT’s or Carrier’s inability to provide transportation services as initially requested by the Shipper. PAT will exempt all military personnel, veterans, and first responders with verifiable identification from payment of the cancellation fee. PAT may extend any additional deposits as credits towards a future shipment at the sole discretion of PAT’s officers.

INDEFINITE TERM – This Agreement shall continue indefinitely unless either the Shipper or PAT provides the other party with notification of their intent to terminate this Agreement via email with the following subject line: “Terminating SBSA”. Any outstanding/active orders at the time of such termination will be subject to the appropriate penalties and/or fees listed within this Agreement. If requested, the termination of this Agreement shall be effective immediately. CANCELING YOUR ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE SHIPPER, PAT, OR THE CARRIER MAY CANCEL ANY ORDER AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT IMPACTING THE STATUS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN PAT AND THE UNDERSIGNED SHIPPER.

CHANGES TO TERMS & CONDITIONS – PAT reserves the right, in our sole discretion and with or without notice, to change, modify, add, or remove any portion of this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time. Notification of these changes will be posted on our website. Your continued use of PAT’s website or any materials or information provided to you by us after such changes are posted will constitute your agreement to such changes to this Agreement.

ENFORCEMENT – This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and PAT and the Shipper shall submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of a court of subject matter jurisdiction located in Broward County, State of Florida. If litigation results from or arises out of this Agreement or the performance thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.

SHIPPER‐BROKER Relationship – The Parties agree that BROKER at all times will be acting as an independent contractor, and not an employee, agent, or principal of a shipper.

BROKER‐CARRIER Relationship – CARRIER agrees and acknowledges that as the motor carrier transporting a shipper’s freight pursuant to this Agreement, CARRIER is an independent contractor, and not an employee, agent or principal of BROKER. CARRIER further agrees and acknowledges that its employees and agents, including the driver or drivers transporting freight, are not the employees or agents of BROKER, and that BROKER does not control or have the right to control the CARRIER, its employees, agents, drivers, or any person or entity associated with the CARRIER. BROKER further makes no representations as to CARRIER’S safety status/representation or any other aspect of CARRIER’S fitness beyond that set forth in Section 4 above. At times, the BROKER may suggest when pickup and delivery should be made to reflect the wishes and desires of the shipper and/or consignee. However, these times are not mandated or required times. In no event shall the CARRIER be required to, and in no event, shall BROKER require CARRIER to meet any times, violate any safety regulations or best practice or otherwise act unsafely to meet the suggested or target time. The “Target” pick up and delivery dates are viewed as the first of a 3‐day window on either end of each shipment in order to allow for any unexpected delays. Any delay beyond these windows will incur additional expenses equal to the greater of $100 or 10% of the total Carrier Pay per day billed to or withheld from the CARRIER. Target dates may be adjusted with at least 24‐hour notice from the CARRIER. Such notice(s) must be sent to the BROKER and acknowledged by all parties via email to be accepted.

No Broker Liability – CARRIER agrees and acknowledges that BROKER will not be liable to a shipper for any act or omission of the CARRIER or any of its “employees” which transport a shipper’s freight, as the term “employee” is defined under 49 C.F.R. §390.5 or for any of CARRIER’s Agents, Principals, Assigns or Subcontractors. CARRIER thus agrees and acknowledges to indemnify and hold harmless BROKER for any cargo loss or damage, or for the delay in the delivery of a shipper’s freight, or for any actual or consequential damages resulting therefrom. To the extent permissible under applicable federal and state law, and subject to the express monetary insurance limits in Paragraph 13 as to CARRIER and BROKER’S monetary insurance limits for general liability or such other amounts as mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, CARRIER shall defend, indemnify and hold BROKER and its shipper customer harmless from any claims, actions or damages, arising out of its performance under this Agreement, including cargo loss and damage, theft, delay, damage to property, and personal injury or death, and BROKER shall defend, indemnify, and hold CARRIER harmless from any claims, actions, or damages, including cargo loss and damage, theft, delay, damage to property, personal injury or death, arising out of its performance hereunder. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any claims, actions or damages due to the negligence, culpable conduct or intentional act of the other Party, or the shipper. The obligation to defend shall include all costs of defense as they accrue. Except for CARRIERS’ liability under Paragraph 10, unless otherwise agreed in writing, and regardless of whether the Parties insurance as referred to in the paragraph above, is valid or provides coverage, the Parties indemnity obligations shall not exceed the monetary insurance limits referred to in the paragraph above.

No Broker Control – The Parties agree that BROKER will not assert any control nor have any right to control over a shipper’s freight, including, but not limited to, taking possession of a shipper’s freight, and BROKER shall not direct or control the routes taken by CARRIER in the transportation of a shipper’s freight.

CARRIER Liability – CARRIER hereby assumes the liability of a motor carrier as provided in §11707 of Title 49 of the United States Code as well as the Carmack Amendment and all other applicable law relating to the liability of a Motor Carrier for Cargo Loss, and all claims for loss, damage and/or salvage will be handled and processed in accordance with that law.

Bills of Lading – For each shipment tendered to CARRIER, CARRIER will provide to the shipper a standard bill of lading that is in accordance with 49 C.F.R. §373, listing the consignor and consignee, the origins and destinations, the number of packages, the description of the freight, and the weight, volume, or measurement of the freight. The Parties agree that BROKER will not be a party to the bill of lading. CARRIER agrees that a BROKER’S name WILL NOT BE LISTED, as the carrier on a bill of lading. Such a listing is not authorized by BROKER and if it should occur the listing shall not change BROKER’S status as a property broker nor CARRIER’S status as a motor carrier. In no event shall the BROKER be listed or referenced on or be a party to the bill of lading. CARRIER will not re‐broker, assign or interline the shipments hereunder, written consent of BROKER prior to the shipment being tendered to any other CARRIER. If CARRIER breaches this provision, BROKER shall have the right of paying the monies it owes CARRIER directly to the delivering carrier, in lieu of payment to CARRIER. Upon BROKER’s payment to delivering carrier, CARRIER, shall not be released from any liability to BROKER under this Agreement. In addition to the indemnity obligation in Paragraph 7 CARRIER will be liable for consequential damages for violation of this Paragraph.

The Parties agree that the shipment of freight will move under the terms and conditions listed in the bill of lading. CARRIER agrees to list itself on the bill of lading as the party in possession and control of the freight. The terms and conditions of the bill of lading shall not operate to alter or modify the terms of this Agreement between CARRIER and BROKER. CARRIER shall issue a bill of lading in compliance with 49 U.S.C. §80101 et seq., 49 C.F.R. §373.101 (and any amendments thereto) also commonly known as the Carmack Amendment, for the property it receives for transportation under this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, CARRIER shall become fully or constructive possession, responsible/liable for the freight when it takes/receives possession thereof, and the trailer(s) is loaded, regardless of whether a bill of lading has been issued, and/or delivered to CARRIER, and which responsibility/liability shall continue until delivery of the shipment to the consignee and the consignee signs the bill of lading or delivery receipt. Any terms of the bill of lading (including but not limited to payment terms, released rates, or released value) inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement shall be ineffective. Failure to issue a bill of lading, or sign a bill of lading acknowledging receipt of the cargo, by CARRIER, shall not affect the liability of CARRIER. The Parties intend said Bills of Lading to be Bills of Lading, as that term is interpreted under the Carmack Amendment and applicable law and not merely as “delivery receipts”, “freight receipts” or any similar term.

Non‐Solicitation of Shippers – CARRIER agrees that it will not directly or indirectly conduct business with any shipper whose freight was transported pursuant to this Agreement for a period of two (2) years beginning with the last day such service was performed for that shipper. The Parties agree that a breach of this provision shall entitle BROKER to the full amount of commissions and/or compensation equal to what would have been due to BROKER had it arranged for the movement of said freight. This amount shall not be less than $250 per shipment.

Assignment/Modifications of Agreement – Neither CARRIER or BROKER may assign or transfer any rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written or electronic consent of the other party. Further, neither CARRIER or BROKER may amend or modify the terms of this Agreement without the prior written or electronic consent of the other party. Any amendments or modifications to this Agreement not agreed to by both CARRIER and BROKER shall be null and void.

Insurance – CARRIER shall furnish BROKER with Certificate(s) of Insurance; financial responsibility or insurance policies providing thirty (30) days advance written notice of cancellation or termination; and unless otherwise agreed, subject to the following minimum limits; General liability, commercial auto and/or commercial motor vehicle insurance (including hired and non‐owned vehicles) $1,000,000.00, ($5,000,000.00 if transporting hazardous materials including environmental damages due to release or discharge of hazardous substances); cargo damage/loss, $100,000.00; workers’ compensation with limits required by law. Except for the higher coverage limits which may be specified above, the insurance policies and financial responsibility shall comply with minimum requirements of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and any other applicable regulatory state agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to avoid CARRIER’S liability due to any exclusion or deductible of any insurance policy or to limit CARRIER’S liability for contribution and/or indemnification and defense of the BROKER. An MCS‐90 endorsement will be part of any insurance policy obtained by CARRIER, and all proper filings, including but not limited to the BMC-90 will be made with the applicable federal and state agencies.

As regard cargo coverage, the coverage must be All Risk Broad Form Motor Truck Cargo Legal Liability Coverage in an amount not less than $100,000.00 per occurrence. The coverage provided under the policy shall have no exclusions or restrictions of any type that would foreseeably preclude coverage relating to cargo claims including, but not limited to, exclusions of unattended or unattached trailers, theft, or for any commodities transported under this Agreement, refrigeration breakdown or lack of refrigerator fuel. Furthermore, if the commodity being hauled is refrigerated, refrigeration breakdown coverage will be provided and the CARRIER will honor and abide by the servicing requirements set forth in the insurance policy or endorsement.
