Driver Partner
Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: June 1, 2026
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE DRIVER PARTNER TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“DRIVER PARTNER TERMS” OR “AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY. IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN SECTION 12 OF THESE DRIVER PARTNER TERMS.
UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE: (1) YOU MAY ONLY PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AGAINST US THROUGH BINDING, FINAL ARBITRATION, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION; AND (2) YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
BY ACCEPTING THESE DRIVER PARTNER TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTION 12, AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME AND SOUGHT ANY ASSISTANCE NEEDED TO COMPREHEND THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT.
YOU ACCEPT THESE DRIVER PARTNER TERMS BY REGISTERING AS A DRIVER PARTNER, ACCEPTING A DELIVERY SERVICES OFFER, CLICKING AN ACCEPTANCE BOX, OR USING THE PLATFORM. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO AGREE TO THESE DRIVER PARTNER TERMS, YOU MUST NOT BROWSE, ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE PLATFORM. YOU WILL BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
By accepting these terms, You and Company agree that: You operate as an independent contractor ("Driver Partner", "You", "Your", "Yourself") and seek access to the Platform to identify and accept opportunities to provide services for compensation (“Services”), primarily delivery services (“Delivery Services”) and other services the Platform may make available from time to time. "Company", "we", "us" or "our" means the entity identified in the Multi-Location Addendum as the contracting party for the location in which you provide Services. Except as provided in the Arbitration Agreement in Section 12 below, Company reserves the right to change the Agreement at any time in its sole business discretion. It is Your responsibility to check the Driver Partner Terms for changes. Company will provide appropriate notice of any material changes to the Driver Partner Terms.
This Agreement supersedes all prior versions of the Driver Partner Terms. This Agreement takes effect on acceptance regardless of whether Driver Partner is eligible to, or ever does, provide any Services.
1. Platform and Services
1.1. Platform Description
These Driver Partner Terms govern your relationship with Company and your access to the Veho Driver Application ("Driver App") and Platform ("Platform"), operated by Company. By registering to become a Driver Partner, clicking a box indicating acceptance, accepting an opportunity to provide Services on the Driver App or from Company, or electing to download, install, access, or otherwise use the Platform—whether through the website (www.shipveho.com), any affiliated application (including the Driver App)—You agree to these Driver Partner Terms. These terms, together with any documents incorporated by reference, form a binding agreement between you, Company, and other Platform users.
Your continued access to or use of the Platform constitutes your acceptance of these terms.
Company has obtained a license to operate the Driver App and Platform from Veho Tech, Inc. (“Veho”) within your geographic region. Through the Driver App, Driver Partners access the Platform—a legally recognized digital marketplace where they can review and accept opportunities to transport goods in exchange for compensation. Company does not assume ownership or title to any goods transported by Driver Partner. By accepting these Driver Partner Terms, You are granted a limited, revocable sub-license to access and use the Platform via the Driver App to receive and respond to delivery requests from users of the Platform.
1.2. Key Definitions
(a) "Client" means any individual or entity that uses the Platform to request independent service providers for Delivery Services, or on whose behalf Delivery Services are performed.
(b) "Offer" means a request for Delivery Services made available on the Driver App and Platform. Each Driver Partner may view and accept Offers at their sole discretion.
(c) "Recipient" means any individual or entity that receives personal property or goods through Driver Partner's provision of Delivery Services.
(d) Delivery Services begin when you scan and load all packages for Your chosen Offer into your personal vehicle. Driver Partner agrees to be responsible for the loading or unloading of property at Driver Partner's expense and with no additional compensation for those services. These packages will be waiting for you to pick up at the designated location communicated to you with the Offer. Your Services do not include and you should not unload any packages from any truck nor sort any such packages.
Delivery Services end when:
(i) all packages from your route have either been (1) delivered, or (2) attempted to be delivered and returned to the pickup location (unless otherwise communicated), and returned to the warehouse if undeliverable; or
(ii) the Driver Partner is no longer actively attempting to either deliver packages to a Customer or return the remaining packages to the warehouse. Delivery Services exclude Driver Partner’s personal activities unrelated to the provision of Delivery Services, such as running personal errands.
(e) Company may offer Driver Partners opportunities to participate in pilot programs, beta tests, or other non-standard engagements beyond Delivery Services (collectively, “Special Program(s)”). Special Programs constitute Services; participation is voluntary and may be governed by a supplemental addendum. Company will communicate Special Program compensation, eligibility criteria, and terms to eligible Driver Partners in advance.
2. Eligibility and Onboarding
2.1. Basic Eligibility
The Platform is available to Driver Partners who are 25 years of age or older and hold all required authorizations, licenses, and permits to operate vehicles for Delivery Services in the state(s) where You operate. By using the Platform, You represent that You are of legal age to form a binding contract with Company and meet all eligibility requirements in this Section 2.
2.2. Ongoing Eligibility
To access the Platform, you may be required to provide registration details, licenses, permits, a business tax ID, valid government-issued identification, insurance documentation, and other information Company or Veho reasonably requests (collectively, “Registration Information”). Company collects Registration Information to verify your identity, ensure legal and regulatory compliance, maintain Platform safety and security, and prevent fraud. As a condition of Platform access, all Registration Information you provide must be true, correct, and complete.
Company may conduct periodic background check rescreenings during your engagement as a Driver Partner. As a condition of continued Platform access, you consent to rescreenings at least annually and at any time Company deems reasonably necessary for safety, security, compliance, or operational reasons. Third-party vendors designated by Company may administer these checks in accordance with applicable law. Failure to complete or pass any required background check or rescreening may result in suspension or termination of your Platform access.
2.3. No Conflicts of Interest
The following persons are not eligible to register as Driver Partners or perform Delivery Services through the Platform, even if they otherwise meet the criteria in Sections 2.1 and 2.2: (i) current employees of Company, Veho, or any affiliate, parent, or subsidiary thereof; (ii) active warehouse associates, sortation personnel, and fulfillment center workers who perform inbound or outbound logistics operations on behalf of Clients or within Veho’s logistics network, whether engaged directly or through a third-party staffing, logistics, or labor provider. This restriction is meant to prevent conflicts of interest which could compromise package security or chain-of-custody controls. Any Driver Partner who becomes employed by or begins performing warehouse operations for Company, Veho, or a Client must immediately notify Company and will be subject to temporary suspension of Platform access pending review. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Driver Partner Terms is intended to prohibit or discourage Driver Partner from engaging in any other lawful occupation, business activities, services, or projects that are separate and distinct from any business activities that Driver Partner may conduct through the Platform. For instance, Company expects and nothing herein prevents Driver Partners from providing similar services through other network companies or platforms.
3.Independent Contractor Relationship
3.1. Nature of Relationship
Nothing in these Driver Partner Terms is intended or should be construed to create an employer-employee relationship, partnership, joint venture, joint employment relationship, single or integrated enterprise or franchisor/franchisee relationship between Company or any of its affiliated, parent, or subsidiary entities including, but not limited to Veho, and/or Driver Partner.
DRIVER PARTNER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, IN PERFORMING SERVICES OR ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THESE DRIVER PARTNER TERMS, DRIVER PARTNER SHALL BE AND WILL REMAIN AT ALL TIMES AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR IN FACT AND LAW AND NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF COMPANY, VEHO OR CLIENT.
3.2. No Agency; No Authority
Driver Partner will not take any position on any tax return, application for benefits, or in any proceeding involving Company that is inconsistent with Driver Partner’s status as an independent contractor of Company. Driver Partner is not Company’s agent and has no authority to make commitments or act on Company’s behalf. Because Driver Partner accesses the Platform solely to provide Services through Company, Driver Partner is not a contractor or employee of Veho and will not represent otherwise.
3.3. Control and Autonomy
Driver Partners will provide all equipment, labor, and materials needed by Driver Partner to provide Services. Neither Company nor Veho will provide equipment, labor, or materials. Company will not provide training or direction regarding Services. Company does not require uniforms for Driver Partners. Driver Partners must determine whether they need licenses, permits, certificates, or other approvals for Delivery Services, and represent that they maintain such approvals. Driver Partners alone determine which engagements to accept or refuse, how frequently they accept engagements, the duration of the engagement acceptable to them, the terms of any counter proposal, and the manner in which they will provide the Services sought. The Platform may provide Driver Partners the ability to indicate route preferences (such as preferred route length, time of day, or geographic area) and may use past route history to surface personalized Offer recommendations. Personalized Offers are informational only and do not limit or obligate Driver Partner to accept any particular route. Driver Partner retains full discretion to accept or decline any Offer regardless of stated preferences.
While Clients and customers may expect quality standards, delivery timeframes, or other service parameters, Driver Partner determines the days worked and the time periods during which Driver Partner chooses to provide services through the Platform. Company does not establish Driver Partner's work schedule. Company does not guarantee the Driver Partner any minimum amount of engagements. Company facilitates Client's payment to Driver Partner by setting a fee for each route that a Driver Partner may choose to accept. Company will have no control over the manner in which Services are provided and does not dictate the time and location of the provision of Services. Driver Partner has the right to determine the manner in which the Delivery Services will be performed consistent with Driver Partner's experience and specialized skills.
Company does not provide a performance assessment to Driver Partners. Company does not oversee the actual work or instruct the Driver Partner as to how the work will be performed, or the method or process the Driver Partner uses to perform services.
3.4. Expenses and Equipment
When You accept an Offer through the Driver App, You agree that the rate presented is fair and sufficient to cover all operational expenses of performing the Delivery Service. These expenses include: liability insurance, fuel and fuel taxes, vehicle maintenance, oil and lubrication, tires, permits, tolls, ferries, base plates, licenses, fines and penalties arising from Driver Partner’s conduct, labor costs, and any other costs to operate and maintain Driver Partner’s vehicle and equipment. Company does not reimburse these expenses beyond the offered rate. By accepting an Offer, Driver Partner assumes responsibility for all operational costs of providing Delivery Services.
3.5. Non-Exclusivity
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, these Driver Partner Terms do not restrict the Driver Partner from working in any other lawful occupation or business, or from engaging in other business activities separate from those conducted through the Platform. Company expects Driver Partners to provide similar services through other platforms and for other parties. While You may earn income elsewhere, You agree not to appear—through dress, behavior, or representation—to work for another company while performing Delivery Services obtained through the Platform. This restriction applies only to active brand-confusion situations, such as wearing another platform’s branded uniform when delivering a package via the Driver App, and does not restrict Driver Partner from displaying vehicle decals, stickers, or signage for other delivery platforms on Driver Partner’s vehicle.
3.6. Subcontractors
(a) Permitted Use of Subcontractors. Driver Partner may engage its employees or independent contractors (collectively, “Subcontractors”) to assist in performing services related to an engagement, except as expressly set forth in 3.6(b) regarding motor vehicle operation.
(b) Restriction on Driving; Account Requirements. Only the Driver Partner who accepted an Offer may operate an approved motor vehicle during route execution. A Subcontractor may operate a vehicle on a route only if that individual (i) is separately registered as a Driver Partner, (ii) is logged into their own Driver App account, and (iii) has accepted the applicable Offer under that account. This condition promotes safety, security, and operational visibility—including accurate identification of the individual performing the route, route tracking, and accountability—and does not limit Driver Partner’s general right to delegate work or control how Services are performed. Company does not currently support multiple sub-accounts under a single Driver Partner account. Driver Partner may invite any Subcontractor who wishes to operate a vehicle to register independently as a Driver Partner. Company will notify Driver Partner if multi-account functionality becomes available.
(c) Responsibility for Subcontractors. Driver Partner is solely responsible for the selection, engagement, supervision, and retention of its Subcontractors. Driver Partner agrees to enter into agreements with its Subcontractors that contain obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth in these Driver Partner Terms.
(d) No Control by Company. Company will have no involvement in, or control over, the hiring, selection, engagement, supervision, or retention of any Subcontractor, or the terms of any such relationship. Company will not provide training or direction to Subcontractors and will not control the manner, timing, or location in which services are performed by any Subcontractor.
(e) Termination; Removal of Subcontractors. Company will not terminate the Services during the term of these Driver Partner Terms except for a violation of these Driver Partner Terms or as otherwise provided in Section 11.3. However, Company may request that Driver Partner discontinue use of any Subcontractor who reasonably appears to pose a safety or security risk or who engages in unlawful conduct in connection with an engagement. Such request does not create any duty for Company to screen, monitor, or supervise any Subcontractor.
(f) No Screening Obligation. Company does not screen or monitor Subcontractors. Nothing herein creates any obligation for Company to ensure that any Subcontractor performs services in a safe or lawful manner.
(g) Background Checks for Non-Driving Assistance. If a Subcontractor assists with route-related activities that do not include operating a motor vehicle, Driver Partner represents that such individual has undergone an appropriate background check and does not pose a risk of harm to Company personnel, Recipients, or third parties the Subcontractor may encounter while assisting.
4.Account, Access, and Platform Use
4.1. Account Registration and Security
If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password or any other piece of information as part of the Platform’s registration or security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. Your account is personal to you; do not provide anyone else access to the Platform using your credentials. You must notify Company immediately of any unauthorized access to your account or any other security breach.
You must not register or create a new account under your name, an alternate name, a fictitious or borrowed name, or any third party’s name. You must not engage in any fraudulent activity involving the Platform or your accepted routes.
4.2. Acceptable Use
Company may disable your account if you violate any provision of these Driver Partner Terms. In addition to limiting, suspending, or terminating your account, Veho and Company may take legal action in response to any unlawful activity, including prosecution of theft to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Driver Partner shall at all times comply with any and all laws, ordinances, statutes, executive orders and regulations, federal, state, county and municipal, insofar as applicable to Driver Partner's provision of Services under these Driver Partner Terms.
4.3. Data Privacy and Confidentiality
You must keep all Client and Recipient data received from Company confidential. You must not disclose Recipient or Client information to anyone or take any action to retain such data. You must not use Recipient or Client data for any purpose other than completing a route.
4.4. Device and Security Standards
(a) You should exercise sound judgment to keep the device(s) you use for route information free from malicious or questionable applications or software. Company strongly recommends that you utilize lock screen protection.
(b) You must notify Company support immediately upon learning that a device you use for routes has been lost or stolen while Recipient or Client data is accessible on the Platform.
(c) Phishing Scams. Driver Partners are responsible for protecting their account information from phishing scams and attempts. Veho and Company are not liable for the loss of earnings due to phishing scams or attempts.
(d) To protect account security and chain of custody for packages, Company may limit the number of devices simultaneously logged into a Driver Partner’s account. If the device limit is exceeded, older sessions may be automatically terminated. Repeated violations of device limits may trigger a security review of the account and could lead to suspension or deactivation.
4.5. Platform Availability
Company and Veho will not be liable if all or any part of the Platform is unavailable at any time or for any period, regardless of the reason. You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Platform.
5. Safety, Compliance, and Conduct
5.1. Safety Requirements
You must maintain: (1) a current and valid driver’s license; (2) an auto insurance policy naming you as insured that meets state minimum requirements; and (3) if applicable, a "satisfactory," "unrated," or substantively equivalent safety rating from any federal or state agency responsible for regulating your operations. The vehicle you use for Delivery Services must be registered with Company, in safe and drivable condition, compliant with state and local safety standards, and one you have the right to operate.
5.2. Monitoring Consent and Cell Phone Use
The real-time tracking and digital chain-of-custody features of the Driver App and Platform are integral to Delivery Services. The Platform automatically sends prompts and notifications to You, provides real-time tracking and status updates to Clients and Recipients during Delivery Services, sends pickup and delivery confirmations (including photos) to relevant parties, and enables Company support to communicate with You to facilitate Delivery Service completion.
While providing Delivery Services based on Offers accepted via the Driver App or Platform, you consent to digital location monitoring through the application. All cell phone use while performing Delivery Services must comply with applicable state and federal statutes.
Any tracking, geolocation, in-app prompts, status updates, notifications, or other Platform-enabled communications are used for shipment visibility, chain-of-custody verification, safety, fraud prevention, customer and Client communications, payment integrity, and Platform security. Such features are not intended to, and do not, control or direct the route, stop sequence, timing, manner, method, or means by which Driver Partner performs Delivery Services. Driver Partner remains solely responsible for determining the manner and means of performing any accepted Offer, subject to satisfying the applicable completion parameters, safety requirements, legal requirements, and Client or customer specifications.
5.3. Food Safety
You further agree that, to prevent potential contamination and to protect the safety and integrity of goods, customers, and yourself, no poison, pesticide, or rodenticide or other toxic or hazardous substance will be present in the vehicle while you are performing services for offers accepted through the Driver App or the Platform.
5.4. Vehicle Inspection
As a condition of Platform participation, Driver Partner consents to cargo-area inspections of any vehicle used for Delivery Services by Company or its facility partners when reasonable cause exists to believe a safety, security, or policy concern is present. Company will conduct any such inspection respectfully and document it. This provision protects the safety and security of packages, Warehouse personnel, Driver Partners, and Recipients.
5.5. Age-Restricted, Regulated, and Attended Delivery Requirements
(a) Verification Obligations. For any Delivery Service involving (i) age-restricted or regulated goods (including alcohol or tobacco), or (ii) attended delivery or pickup requirements designated by the Client or Driver App, Driver Partner must verify the Recipient’s identity, presence, or acknowledgement, as applicable, using the method specified in the Driver App, which may include government-issued photo identification, signature, PIN code, or other verification protocols.
(b) Age-Restricted Goods. When delivering age-restricted regulated goods, Driver Partner must confirm the Recipient’s age and identity by reviewing a valid, government-issued photo identification prior to completing delivery. Driver Partner shall not release such goods to any individual who: (i) appears to be under the applicable legal age and cannot produce valid identification; (ii) appears to be intoxicated; or (iii) is not the designated Recipient or an authorized adult at the delivery location.
(c) Signature and Confirmation Requirements. Where required by the Client or applicable law, Driver Partner must obtain and record proof of delivery, including but not limited to a Recipient signature, PIN confirmation, or other designated verification method.
(d) Failed Delivery or Pickup. If the Recipient is unavailable, refuses or fails to provide required verification, or does not meet applicable legal or Client requirements, Driver Partner must not complete the delivery or pickup and must follow the applicable return or exception procedures in the Driver App.
(e) Compliance Responsibility. By accepting an Offer involving age-restricted goods or attended delivery or pickup requirements, Driver Partner agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and all verification protocols specified by the Client and Driver App. Failure to comply may result in route or delivery non-completion, compensation adjustment, Platform deactivation, and/or legal liability.
5.6. Chain of Custody and Package Handoff
Company does not assume possession of or liability for any package returned by Driver Partner until You complete proper hand-off and scanning protocols as indicated in the Driver App. Driver Partner assumes possession of and liability for any package on their route once Driver Partner scans it in the Driver App. Custody of packages does not transfer from Driver Partner to a Recipient until the designated handoff and verification procedures are completed (e.g., delivery photo captured, drop-off scan, photo of home address). Both Veho and Driver Partner must follow established scanning and verification procedures at each transfer point to maintain chain of custody and protect shipment integrity.
5.7. Notice of Safety Events
You agree to notify Company within 24 hours and before initiating any route with Company if any of the following occur or have occurred: (1) any change in the status of Driver Partner’s license or permits, including suspensions, revocations, or orders rendering the license nonoperational; (2) any lapse, termination, or reduction in insurance coverage, including any instance in which coverage falls below minimum requirements; and (3) changes to Your vehicle status, including registration updates, modifications to vehicle specifications that affect Your Delivery Services, operational functionality, or roadworthiness.
Further, if an accident or incident occurs while performing Delivery Services, Driver Partner must promptly notify Company and cooperate fully with Company and its insurance carrier in any investigation, claim, or legal proceeding arising from the event, including providing truthful statements, documentation, and evidence as reasonably requested.
5.8. No Animals or Other Individuals
While performing Delivery Services, you must not have any of the following in your vehicle: (i) minors (individuals under 18 years of age), (ii) friends, partners, or any other individual unless they are Subcontractors as defined herein, and (iii) animals or pets of any kind unless that animal is Your service animal.
5.9. Quality Ratings
The Driver App and Platform maintain a quality rating and feedback system (“Quality Rating”) based on delivery outcomes and user feedback. The Quality Rating is intended to support a reliable marketplace and may be used, in Company’s and Veho’s sole discretion, to evaluate access to the Platform and delivery opportunities. Driver Partner acknowledges that the Quality Rating reflects service outcomes only and does not direct or control the manner or means by which Driver Partner performs Delivery Services. Driver Partner retains sole discretion over whether, when, and how to perform any Delivery Services. The Driver App and Platform may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Quality Rating, including its components and application, at any time in Company’s or Veho’s sole discretion. Access to the Platform and delivery opportunities may be affected by Your Quality Rating, among other factors, and Company or Veho may, at any time and in its sole discretion, limit, suspend, or terminate Your access to the Platform.
6. Insurance
6.1.
As an independent contractor, Driver Partner (including any Subcontractor) is not covered by any insurance Company provides to its employees, including health insurance, workers' compensation insurance, or general liability insurance.
6.2.
Personal Automobile Insurance. Driver Partner is responsible for maintaining, at Driver Partner's own expense, all personal automobile insurance coverage required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations to operate the vehicle used by Driver Partner to provide Delivery Services.
6.3.
Occupational Accident Insurance. Driver Partner (including any Subcontractor) will not be covered by any workers' compensation insurance that Company, Veho, or Client provides to its employees if Driver Partner is injured during an engagement. Accordingly, before and throughout the term of these Driver Partner Terms, Driver Partner must maintain occupational accident insurance (or equivalent) for Driver Partner and any Subcontractors and must be able to provide proof of such coverage to Company upon request.
Alternatively, Driver Partner may purchase occupational accident insurance through Company for a fee, which Company may deduct from amounts due to Driver Partner. Current rates and deduction terms will be specified in the enrollment form and applied on a per-route basis.
6.4. Company Automobile Insurance
(a) Company will comply with all applicable local, state, and federal insurance requirements governing the Platform's operations in each relevant geographic region. This includes maintaining a commercial automobile insurance policy (the "Company Insurance Coverage"), contingent on Driver Partner's personal insurance policy coverage, that provides supplemental coverage for Driver Partners while actively performing Delivery Services, subject to applicable deductibles and coverage limitations.
(b) At a minimum, Company Insurance Coverage includes:
- third-party bodily injury liability coverage, and
- third-party property damage liability coverage,
when Driver Partner is involved in an at-fault accident while actively providing Delivery Services in a vehicle weighing less than 10,000 pounds that is registered with the Platform (“Covered Loss”). FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, COMPANY INSURANCE COVERAGE DOES NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR: (A) BODILY INJURY SUSTAINED BY DRIVER PARTNER OR ANY SUBCONTRACTOR; OR (B) DAMAGE TO DRIVER PARTNER'S VEHICLE.
(c) Company Insurance Coverage supplements, but does not replace, Driver Partner's obligation to maintain personal automobile insurance and any other insurance required under these Driver Partner Terms. For any Covered Loss, where Driver Partner separately maintains commercial automobile insurance applicable to the vehicle used for Delivery Services, that policy will be primary at all times—including while Driver Partner is actively performing Delivery Services—and Company Insurance Coverage will apply as excess coverage, but only in geographies where state or federal regulations permit or require it. If Driver chooses not to maintain independent commercial automobile insurance for Covered Losses, Driver Partner acknowledges that Company Insurance Coverage may be more limited than insurance independently maintained by Driver and may, where permitted by law, waive, reduce, or exclude certain coverages, including no-fault, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and personal injury protection coverages.
(d) Company Insurance Coverage does not affect Driver Partner's indemnity obligations to Company under the Agreement. Coverage limits are available upon request.
6.5.
Certificates of Insurance; Notice of Cancellation. Driver Partner must provide updated certificates or other proof of insurance each time Driver Partner purchases, renews, replaces, or alters any required insurance coverage. Driver Partner must provide Company at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice before any required insurance policy is cancelled, not renewed, allowed to lapse, or materially reduced in coverage.
6.6.
Accident Reporting; Cooperation. If an accident or incident occurs while Driver Partner is performing Delivery Services, Driver Partner must promptly notify Company and cooperate fully with Company and its insurance carrier in any investigation, claim, or legal proceeding arising from the event, including by providing truthful statements, documentation, and evidence as reasonably requested.
NOTICE: STANDARD PERSONAL AUTO INSURANCE MAY NOT COVER YOU WHILE PROVIDING DELIVERY SERVICES OR USING THE DRIVER APP OR PLATFORM. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIRMING WITH YOUR INSURER THAT YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE COVERAGE BEFORE ACCEPTING AN OFFER THROUGH THE PLATFORM. COMMERCIAL AUTO INSURANCE MAY BE REQUIRED BY YOUR INSURER TO COVER DAMAGE TO YOUR OWN VEHICLE, AS COMPANY INSURANCE COVERAGE DOES NOT PROVIDE THAT COVERAGE.
7. Payment and Compensation
7.1. Payment Structure
Driver Partner is compensated on a per-route basis, not by the hour. Through the Driver App, Driver Partner may view Offers and choose from multiple available routes, each of which displays a pay range, estimated time to complete, location, and other relevant details. Driver Partner retains full discretion to accept or decline any route.
After accepting a route, and once final route details (including specific pay, timing, and package information) become available, Driver Partner will be shown the final route terms and may still choose to proceed with or cancel the route. Driver Partner agrees that, if the route is accepted and successfully completed, the stated route pay constitutes full compensation, regardless of the time required. This structure reflects that Driver Partner is engaged to complete delivery outcomes, not to provide services for a set period of time.
A route is successfully completed when:
- all packages are delivered to the correct address in the location specified by the Recipient;
- For each delivered package, Driver Partner uses the Driver App to (i) scan the package and (ii) upload a valid proof-of-delivery photo at the time of delivery unless otherwise specified in the Driver App. This ensures accurate, real-time tracking, maintains a reliable chain of custody, and automatically notifies customers and Clients of delivery status; and
- If a package cannot be delivered despite a good faith attempt using commercially reasonable efforts (including reporting delivery or access issues through the Driver App), the package is returned to a Veho location or otherwise handled in accordance with Platform return protocols.
These standards define the conditions for verifying successful route completion and do not control the manner or means by which Driver Partner performs Delivery Services.
7.2. Partial Completion and Adjustments
If Driver Partner does not use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a route, Company may adjust route pay based on the percentage of packages successfully delivered, subject to deductions for packages that Driver Partner does not attempt to deliver, loses, damages, destroys, or steals.
7.3. Payment Schedule
Payments for routes are issued at least once per week. When available, Driver Partners may choose to receive payment more frequently, which incurs a disclosed service fee per transaction unless stated otherwise. Company and its payment processor do not guarantee settlement times for such payments, and not all payments are eligible. Availability depends on Driver Partner’s financial institution. Use of on-request payment or direct debit features may require acceptance of additional terms from Company or its third-party partners.
Company may change payment processing vendors or methods upon reasonable notice to Driver Partners. During a vendor transition, Platform access may be temporarily paused until Driver Partner connects to the new payment method. Company may also offer alternative payment methods, as may be communicated by Company from time to time, at Driver Partner’s election.
7.4. Legal Processes Affecting Driver Partner Accounts
(a) If a garnishment, levy, attachment, lien, or other similar legal process (“Legal Process”) is brought against Driver Partner’s account or amounts payable to Driver Partner, Company will not be obligated to contest the Legal Process on Driver Partner’s behalf and may comply with it as Company deems appropriate. Company may honor Legal Process served personally, by mail, email, or facsimile at any Company facility or at the office of any agent authorized to receive service on Company’s behalf, even if such service is technically insufficient under law. Driver Partner’s access to the Platform may be suspended upon receipt of such Legal Process and may be restored upon Driver Partner’s acknowledgment of receipt of communications received by Company relating to such Legal Process.
(b) If Legal Process is brought against Driver Partner’s account, Company may restrict Driver Partner to standard weekly direct deposit for amounts that would otherwise be subject to such Legal Process, and may recoup or offset such amounts from any obligation Company owes to Driver Partner.
(c) Legal Process against Driver Partner’s account may result in payment delays. Company is not liable to Driver Partner for any losses resulting from such delays.
7.5. Property Damage Payment Plans
If Driver Partner causes accidental property damage during Delivery Services, Company and Driver Partner may agree to a structured payment plan with installments deducted from Driver Partner’s future earnings. No deduction will be made without Driver Partner’s prior written consent. Driver Partner may dispute any claimed damage through Company’s support process before agreeing to a payment plan.
7.6. Compensation Inquiries
Driver Partner may contact Company at any time to discuss compensation for a completed route, including to request a pay adjustment where a route was materially more burdensome than anticipated due to factors outside Driver Partner’s control. The Platform may also proactively issue supplemental payments when system data indicates a route was abnormally impacted. Any such adjustment is at Company’s discretion and does not create an obligation to adjust compensation for future routes.
7.7. Promotions and Referral Programs
Company may offer promotions, bonuses, incentive programs, or referral programs (collectively, “Promotional Programs”). Promotional Programs constitute Services; participation is voluntary and may be governed by a supplemental addendum. Company will communicate Promotional Program compensation, eligibility criteria, and terms to eligible Driver Partners in advance. Promotional Program payments, including bonuses and incentive earnings, constitute taxable income to Driver Partner and are not expense reimbursement. These payments do not alter the independent contractor relationship and are subject to applicable tax reporting requirements. Company may modify, suspend, or terminate any Promotional Program at its sole discretion and may withhold payments obtained through fraud or manipulation.
Driver Partner must not manipulate or abuse any Promotional Program by, among other things: (a) tampering with location features or using technology to falsify location data; (b) collecting incentive or promotional pay when not eligible under relevant policies; or (c) creating multiple Driver Partner accounts to exploit Promotional Programs. Such manipulation constitutes a material breach of these Driver Partner Terms and may result in immediate account deactivation.
7.8. Tiered Status Program
Company may offer a tiered status program (“Tiered Status Program”) in which Driver Partners qualify for different tiered status based on the quantity of successful deliveries by You and Your Quality Ratings. Higher tiered status may unlock enhanced features, such as advanced route scheduling or reduced fee expedited payment options, with features and opportunities varying by tiered status. Qualification for higher tiered status is within Driver Partner’s control through Driver Partner’s own Quality Ratings. Company may modify the structure, criteria, or benefits of the Tiered Status Program at any time upon notice to Driver Partners. Participation in the Tiered Status Program does not alter the independent contractor relationship.
8. No Right To Benefits and Taxes
8.1. NO RIGHTS TO BENEFITS
EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW (INCLUDING, FOR CALIFORNIA DRIVERS, CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE § 7448 ET SEQ.), AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OPERATING AN INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND CONTROLLED BUSINESS, DRIVER PARTNER IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY PENSION, HEALTH, DISABILITY, INSURANCE, OR OTHER FRINGE BENEFIT PLANS OFFERED BY COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATED, PARENT, OR SUBSIDIARY ENTITIES.
AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, DRIVER PARTNER IS NOT ENTITLED TO UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS UNLESS DRIVER PARTNER OR ANOTHER ENTITY PROVIDES SUCH COVERAGE. DRIVER PARTNER MUST PAY FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX ON ALL AMOUNTS PAID UNDER ITS CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY, VEHO, OR CLIENT.
AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, DRIVER PARTNER IS NOT ENTITLED TO WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BENEFITS UNLESS DRIVER PARTNER OR ANOTHER ENTITY PROVIDES SUCH COVERAGE.
8.2. Taxes and Other Withholdings
For all purposes, including under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, Social Security Act, Federal Unemployment Tax Act, income tax withholding requirements, and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws, Driver Partner is an independent contractor and not a Company employee. Accordingly, Company will not withhold employment taxes from compensation paid to Driver Partner under these Driver Partner Terms. Driver Partner is solely responsible for reporting and paying all federal, state, and local taxes and contributions imposed under unemployment insurance, social security, medical insurance, income tax, and other applicable laws with respect to Services provided through the Platform, including taxes applicable to Driver Partner’s affiliates, employees, or subcontractors. Driver Partner agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Company harmless from any costs, expenses, penalties, or damages (including attorney’s fees) arising from Driver Partner’s failure to pay such taxes or contributions or from Company’s not withholding or remitting employment taxes relative to compensation paid to Driver Partner.
9. Confidentiality and Data Use
9.1.Confidential Information
While providing Services under these Driver Partner Terms, Driver Partner may receive technical, product, financial, and business information that is confidential or proprietary to Company ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information also includes proprietary or confidential information of Veho or other third parties disclosed to Driver Partner in the course of performing services through Company. Confidential Information does not include information that (a) becomes part of the public domain through no act or omission of Driver Partner, (b) is disclosed to Driver Partner by a third party without restrictions on disclosure, or (c) was in Driver Partner's lawful possession without obligation of confidentiality prior to the disclosure and was not obtained by Driver Partner either directly or indirectly from Company or Veho.
Driver Partner will hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and use it only to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under these Driver Partner Terms. Driver Partner will not disclose Confidential Information to third parties and will protect it from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure with at least the same care Driver Partner uses for its own confidential information of a similar nature, and in no event less than reasonable care.
All Confidential Information is the exclusive property of Company or its suppliers or customers, such as Veho. Confidential Information does not include feedback, reviews, communications between Driver Partner and Company or Veho, photographs, or other information submitted by Driver Partner to Company or Veho, including information provided through the Platform, all of which is owned by Company.
These confidentiality provisions survive termination for two (2) years, except that obligations regarding trade secret information survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), Driver Partner will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret: (1) in confidence to a government official or attorney solely to report or investigate a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.
9.2. Content
Company or Veho may, in its sole discretion, permit you to create, submit, upload, publish, or otherwise make available textual, audio, or visual content and information, including commentary, reviews, feedback related to Services, support requests, customer communications, and entries for competitions and promotions ("Content"). By providing Content through the Services, you agree that Content becomes the exclusive property of Company without compensation to you. To the extent Driver Partner owns or controls intellectual property rights in the Content, you grant Company a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit such Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or later devised, without further notice to or consent from you and without payment to any person or entity. Personal information submitted by you or collected via the Platform is governed by Company’s Privacy Policy, available at Company’s website.
9.3. Competitive Use Prohibition
Driver Partner must not use the Platform, the Driver App, or any information obtained through Delivery Services to develop, build, or operate—or assist any third party in developing, building, or operating—a service or product that competes with, or is substantially similar to, the Platform or any services offered by Company or Veho. Specifically, Driver Partner must not (a) copy, replicate, or reverse-engineer any features, functionality, algorithms, routing logic, or user interfaces of the Platform or Driver App; (b) systematically collect, scrape, harvest, or aggregate Platform data for competitive analysis or intelligence; or (c) use Confidential Information, Client data, Customer data, or delivery route information to solicit Clients, Customers, or other Driver Partners on behalf of a competing platform or service. This prohibition survives termination for one (1) year. Nothing in this Section limits Driver Partner’s right to perform delivery services through other platforms as contemplated in Section 3.5.
9.4. Use of Artificial Intelligence
Driver Partner acknowledges that Company and Veho use artificial intelligence and automated systems in operational processes, including driver support communications, issue resolution workflows, route optimization, and Platform communications. Driver Partner may interact with Company’s AI-powered systems when using the Platform or contacting support.
10. Representations and Warranties
Each of Company and Driver Partner represents and warrants, as to itself, that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation (if not an individual), and is engaged in an independent trade or business; (b) it has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform these Driver Partner Terms; (c) these Driver Partner Terms have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered and constitute its legal, valid, and binding obligations; and (d) it will perform its obligations in compliance with all applicable laws and without breaching any obligations to third parties.
Driver Partner further represents and warrants that:
(a) Driver Partner and any of its Subcontractors are authorized to work in the United States;
(b) Driver Partner is at least 25 years old (or older if required by applicable law);
(c) prior to and during the performance of Delivery Services, Driver Partner will possess and maintain all required equipment, vehicles, licenses, permits, and training certifications;
(d) any vehicle used is in safe mechanical and operational condition, properly registered and licensed, and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations;
(e) Driver Partner will maintain insurance coverage as required by law, sufficient to cover damages, injuries, or harm arising from Delivery Services, and will provide proof of such coverage upon request. Driver Partner is solely responsible for all costs related to such insurance; and
(f) Driver Partner will comply with all applicable laws in connection with use of the Platform and performance of Delivery Services, including applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1 et seq.) and similar laws. Driver Partner must not, directly or indirectly, offer, promise, give, or authorize the giving of anything of value to any government official, political party, or other person to:
(a) influence any act or decision in an official capacity;
(b) induce a violation of lawful duties; or
(c) secure any improper advantage.
Driver Partner will promptly notify Company in writing of any actual or suspected violation of this Section.
11. Term, Suspension, and Deactivation
11.1. Term and Renewal.
Except for the Arbitration Agreement in Section 12, these Driver Partner Terms remain in effect for one (1) year from the Effective Date and automatically renew each year thereafter, unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the renewal date, or until terminated by either party under these Driver Partner Terms.
11.2. Termination and Effect of Termination.
Upon termination, Company remains obligated to pay any undisputed fees accrued before the termination date. Under the contractual agreement between Veho and Company, Veho may suspend or terminate Company and/or Driver Partner’s access to the Platform to protect Veho’s rights and interests. Any outstanding obligations of Company to provide Driver Partner with tax reports or payment information survive termination of these Driver Partner Terms. Notwithstanding any contrary terms in these Driver Partner Terms, the Arbitration Agreement remains enforceable throughout the term of these Driver Partner Terms and the relationship with Company or any third-party beneficiary (including Veho), and thereafter for any claims arising out of or related to that relationship.
11.3. Termination; Deactivation Grounds
Except for the Arbitration Agreement in Section 12, either Driver Partner or Company may terminate these Driver Partner Terms for any or no reason at any time by providing reasonable notice in writing, subject only to the obligation to complete any route then in progress. Company may immediately suspend access for investigation or deactivate Driver Partner's access to the Platform for any act or omission that constitutes a material breach of these Driver Partner Terms in the sole discretion of Veho or Company, including as set forth in Company’s Deactivation Grounds. These Deactivation Grounds are narrowly tailored to address conduct that poses safety risks, erodes Client and Recipient trust, violates applicable law, or constitutes fundamental failures to deliver the contracted Services. They do not direct or control the manner in which Driver Partner exercises independent judgment in performing Delivery Services.
12.ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“Arbitration Agreement”)
12.1 How This Arbitration Agreement Applies.
In exchange for the mutual promises contained in these Driver Partner Terms, Company and Driver Partner mutually agree to resolve any and all covered disputes between the Parties exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration instead of a court or jury trial. This includes disputes arising out of or related in any way to the Driver Partner Terms (each, a “Dispute”), including but not limited to:
- Driver Partner's classification as an independent contractor,
- Driver Partner's provision of services,
- Driver Partner's use of the Platform,
- Payments made or received by Driver Partner through the Platform,
- Acceptance or performance of services arranged through the Platform,
- Suspension or deactivation of the Driver Partner's account,
- Termination of the Driver Partner Terms,
- All other aspects of Driver Partner's relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with Company, past, present or future,
- Any claims under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law, including without limitation harassment, discrimination or retaliation claims and claims arising under or related to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (or its state or local equivalents), Americans With Disabilities Act (or its state or local equivalents), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (or its state or local equivalents), Family Medical Leave Act (or its state or local equivalents), Federal Credit Reporting Act (or its state or local equivalents), Telephone Consumer Protection Act (or its state or local equivalents), or Fair Labor Standards Act (or its state or local equivalents), state and local wage and hour laws, state and local statutes or regulations addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal, state or local claims arising out of or relating to Driver Partner's relationship or the termination of that relationship with Company.
For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, "Dispute" will also include disputes that were not noticed at the time you first became subject to these Driver Partner Terms but that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Driver Partner Terms as well as disputes that may arise after the termination of these Driver Partner Terms. This Arbitration Agreement and the arbitration proceeding, including procedures related to Batch Arbitration, are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and evidences a transaction involving commerce. This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to any claims that cannot be arbitrated under applicable law, after accounting for FAA preemption. To the extent the parties have related arbitrable and non-arbitrable disputes, the Company and Driver Partner agree and stipulate that any arbitrable disputes shall proceed first in arbitration and the non-arbitrable disputes shall be stayed, and any applicable statutes of limitations tolled, pending completion of the arbitration. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the FAA even in the event Driver Partner and/or Company are otherwise exempted from the FAA. If for any reason the FAA does not apply to any claims covered by this Arbitration Agreement, and without limiting any non-waivable substantive rights or remedies under applicable law, the parties agree that (a) for Driver Partners contracting with Live Oak Platform Logistics, LLC, the Texas Arbitration Act applies to those claims; and (b) for Driver Partners contracting with Spruce Transport Operations, LLC, the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act applies to those claims. If neither arbitration act applies for any reason, the arbitration law that would otherwise apply shall govern only to the extent necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement. All disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement will be decided by a single arbitrator through final and binding arbitration and not by way of court or jury trial.
Driver Partner and Company agree that this Arbitration Agreement applies to any Dispute between Driver Partner and Company’s Related Third Parties, and to disputes between Driver Partners’ Related Third Parties and Company, that arise out of or relate to this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law. “Related Third Parties” means, with respect to each party, its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, personnel, representatives, vendors, suppliers, service providers, insurers, licensors, and clients. Company’s Related Third Parties specifically include Veho Tech, Inc., Clients, Recipients, and their subsidiaries, successors, agents, employees, and subcontractors. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against, each party and its Related Third Parties, each of whom is deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Arbitration Agreement.
The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or waiver of this Arbitration Agreement (“Delegation Provision”). However, the preceding sentence does not apply to disputes about the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, and it does not apply to Section 12.5 below. Notwithstanding any other clause in this Agreement or any rules that might otherwise apply, disputes about the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act or any claim that Section 12.5, or any portion of Section 12.5, is unenforceable, inapplicable, unconscionable, void, or voidable, will be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
Limitations On How This Arbitration Agreement Applies. The following claims are not covered under this Arbitration Agreement: (i) claims which may be brought in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; (ii) claims for unemployment compensation benefits and claims for workers' compensation benefits, state disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits; however, it applies to discrimination or retaliation claims based upon seeking such benefits; (iii) claims for benefits under employee benefit plans covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; (iv) disputes that an applicable federal statute expressly states cannot be arbitrated or subject to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement; and (v) disputes that are not subject to pre-dispute arbitration agreement under the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act. All other claims must be arbitrated and are covered by this Arbitration Agreement. If any claim(s) not covered under this Arbitration Agreement above are combined with claims that are covered under this Arbitration Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the covered claims will be arbitrated and the non-covered claims shall be stayed pending completion of the arbitration.
Any party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy (“Provisional Relief”) but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such relief or where the relief is sought to secure performance of an agreement designed to prevent irreparable harm. The pursuit of Provisional Relief shall not be deemed incompatible with or constitute a waiver of rights under this Agreement.
12.2. Informal Dispute Resolution.
There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Company. If that occurs, Company is committed to working with you to reach a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial resolution. You and Company agree to participate in good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes before starting an arbitration or initiating an action in small claims court (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and Company agree that as part of these efforts, either party has the option to ask the other to meet and confer telephonically (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you must also personally participate.
To initiate Informal Dispute Resolution, a party must give notice in writing to the other party (“Notice”). Such Notice to Company should be sent by email to driverpartnerresolutions-team@shipveho.com or regular mail to Company’s address set forth in the Multi-Location Addendum. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of the Dispute, including the specific relief sought. Company will send Notice, including a description of the Dispute, either within the Driver App or to your email address or regular address on file. It is your responsibility to ensure your email and regular address are correct and remain up to date. The Notice must be signed by the party initiating the Dispute (i.e., either you personally or a Company representative).
The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, if requested, shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms or organizations represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree. Multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. If a party is represented by counsel, that party’s counsel may participate in the conference, but both Driver Partner and Company must also fully participate in the conference. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement authorizes ex parte communications with a represented party in violation of applicable ethical rules.
Completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process is a mandatory precondition to commencing arbitration. The arbitrator shall dismiss any arbitration filed without first fully and completely complying with the Informal Dispute Resolution procedures set forth above. If an arbitration is dismissed because a party willfully failed to comply with those procedures, the arbitrator may order the non-compliant party to pay any arbitration filing fees and costs incurred by the other party. The applicable statute of limitations and any arbitration filing-fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution process. If the party receiving the Informal Dispute Resolution notice declines to participate in an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference or fails to respond to the notice, the claimant may initiate arbitration after the applicable Informal Dispute Resolution period expires, and the statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadlines shall be tolled during that period.
12.3. Rules and Forum.
If Informal Dispute Resolution does not resolve satisfactorily within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a Notice, or after completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, if requested, you and Company agree that either party shall have the right to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the National Arbitration & Mediation ("NAM”) in accordance with the NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedure (the “NAM Comprehensive Rules”) in effect as of the effective date of the Agreement, except as supplemented, where applicable, by the NAM Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (the “NAM Mass Filing Rules”; together with the NAM Comprehensive Rules, the “NAM Rules”), and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The NAM Rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/. A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Demand”). The Demand must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration, and the account username (if applicable), as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) a statement certifying that the requesting party will pay any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. Any demand for arbitration by Driver Partner must be served through Company's registered agent for service of process. Any demand by the Company to Driver Partner will be delivered to the last home address for Driver Partner in Company's files. If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Demand shall also include counsel's name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Demand. By signing the Demand, counsel certifies to the best of counsel's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that, consistent with the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b): (1) the Demand is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery ("Counsel's Certification"). Unless you and Company otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed below is triggered, the arbitration, including any in-person arbitration hearing, will be conducted in the county where you reside, or another mutually agreeable location. Subject to the NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any NAM fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable NAM fee schedules (the "Fee Schedules"). You and Company agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties' attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
12.4. Waiver of Jury Trial.
YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Company are instead electing that all Disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 12.1 above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
12.5. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief.
EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE.
Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection below entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, determines that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Company agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the state in which Driver Partner performed the majority of the Delivery Services giving rise to the Dispute. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all Disputes between the parties that remain in arbitration are finally resolved. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Company from participating in a class-wide or mass settlement of claims.
Further, Driver Partner and the Company agree to arbitrate PAGA claims on (a) an individual basis only and (b) Driver Partner’s alleged status as an “aggrieved employee” under PAGA, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Therefore, any claim by Driver Partner under PAGA to recover for civil penalties, or other individual relief must be arbitrated under this Arbitration Agreement. Driver Partner and the Company also agree and stipulate that non-individual PAGA claims shall be stayed in the trial court, pending a final determination and written decision by the Arbitrator in arbitration with respect to Driver Partner's alleged status as an "aggrieved employee," and Driver Partner and the Company agree that the Arbitrator, and not the court, will make this determination. The preceding sentence applies even if Driver Partner seeks to assert only a representative claim without including an individual PAGA claim and/or if Driver Partner disclaims the individual PAGA claim. The Arbitrator is without authority to preside over any PAGA claim by Driver Partner on behalf of any other person or joined by or consolidated with another person's or entity's PAGA claim. If a court finds that any portion of this “California PAGA Individual Action Requirement” clause is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable, only that portion shall be severed, and the remaining portions shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, if a court finds that the Arbitrator may not decide Driver Partner’s alleged status as an “aggrieved employee” in the absence of an arbitrable individual PAGA claim, that finding shall not affect the parties’ agreement to arbitrate any individual PAGA claim, nor shall it affect the parties’ agreement that the Arbitrator lacks authority to preside over any non-individual or representative PAGA claim. In such instances, the PAGA action or portion thereof that cannot be compelled to individual arbitration must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction — not in arbitration — but any portion of the California PAGA Individual Action Requirement that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
12.6.
Driver Partner acknowledges that entering into this Arbitration Agreement does not change Driver Partner’s status as an independent contractor in fact and in law, that Driver Partner is not an employee of Company, and that any disputes in this regard are subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.
12.7. Arbitrator.
The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law with experience in the law underlying the dispute and will be selected by the parties from NAM's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Demand, then NAM will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with NAM Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process is triggered, NAM will appoint the arbitrator for each batch, subject to your right to object to that appointment.
The Arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties in accordance with any applicable federal or state law) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party's claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes. Additional discovery may be conducted by mutual stipulation, and the Arbitrator will have exclusive authority to entertain requests for additional discovery, and to grant or deny such requests, based on the Arbitrator's determination whether additional discovery is necessary under the circumstances of a particular case to allow adequate opportunity for the parties to present evidence that the Arbitrator determines is material and relevant to the dispute.
The Arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party in his or her individual capacity is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable.
Either party may file motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and the Arbitrator will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions. The Arbitrator shall set a briefing schedule for such motion(s) upon the request of either party.
The Arbitrator's reasoned decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment may be entered on the Arbitrator's decision or award in any court having jurisdiction.
12.8. Attorneys' Fees and Costs.
Unless fee shifting is specifically authorized by law or by the NAM Rules, the parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Demand was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). To the extent, following a presentation on the merits, on its own motion or a party's, and after affording a reasonable opportunity to respond, an arbitrator determines that a party who commenced arbitration did not bring its claim(s) consistent with Counsel's Certification and the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), the parties agree that the arbitrator shall, as part of its award, impose sanctions by ordering that the initiating party reimburse the responding party for all arbitration filing and administrative fees and arbitrator costs the responding party incurred under the Fee Schedules.
12.9.
This Arbitration Agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the arbitration of disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement. Except as provided in Section 12.5 above, if any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is adjudged to be invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable, in whole or in part, such adjudication will not affect the validity of the rest of the Agreement. All remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. This Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply notwithstanding any change in Driver Partner's responsibilities, position, or title, or if Driver Partner transfers companies. Notwithstanding any contrary language in the Driver Partner Terms or in any Company policy or other agreement, this Arbitration Agreement may not be modified absent a writing signed (electronically or otherwise) by both Driver Partner and an authorized representative of Company.
12.10. Batch Arbitration.
To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Company agree that in the event that there are twenty-five (25) or more individual Demands of a substantially similar nature filed against Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a reasonably proximate period of time, for example, a ninety (90) day period, NAM shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Demands per batch (or, if between twenty-five (25) and ninety-nine (99) individual Demands are filed, a single batch of all those Demands, and, to the extent there are fewer than 100 Demands remaining after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Demands); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch on a consolidated basis with one set of filing and administrative fees due per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award, which will provide for any and all relief to which the arbitrator determines each individual party is entitled (“Batch Arbitration”). NAM shall administer all batches concurrently, to the extent possible. All parties agree that Demands are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issue(s) and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise NAM, and NAM shall appoint a sole standing Procedural Arbitrator or, should the circumstances so require, an Emergency Arbitrator, according to the NAM Rules, to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (the Procedural Arbitrator or Emergency Arbitrator, the “Administrative Arbitrator"). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator's fees shall be paid by Company. You and Company agree to cooperate in good faith with NAM to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Demands, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing or creating a class, collective, and/or representative arbitration or action of any kind, except as expressly set forth in this provision, and nothing about the Batch Arbitration process will preclude any party from participating in any arbitration administered according to that process.
12.11.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of Driver Partner's contractual relationship with Company, and therefore each new Driver Partner may submit a statement notifying Company that Driver Partner wishes to opt out and not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement. If you are an existing Driver Partner and have agreed to a prior version of this Agreement with Company without opting out of the Arbitration Agreement contained therein, you do not have an opportunity to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you are an existing Driver Partner and have validly opted out of the Arbitration Agreement in a prior version of the Agreement, Company will continue to honor your opt-out. I
n order to opt out, a new Driver Partner must notify Company in writing of your intention to opt out by sending a letter, by First Class Mail, to Legal, at Company’s address set forth in the Multi-Location Addendum. Any attempt to opt out by email will be ineffective. The letter must contain an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. In order to be effective, Driver Partner's opt-out letter must be postmarked within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement. Any opt-out letter will be effective only if you send it yourself, on an individual basis, and opt out notices from any third-party purporting to act on your behalf will have no effect on your or Company's rights. The letter may opt out, at most, only one Driver Partner, and letters that purport to opt out multiple Driver Partners will not be effective as to any. If Driver Partner opts out as provided in this paragraph, Driver Partner will not be subject to any adverse action from Company as a consequence of that decision and they may pursue available legal remedies without regard to this Arbitration Agreement. If Driver Partner does not opt out within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement, Driver Partner and Company shall be deemed to have agreed to this Arbitration Agreement.
12.12. Modification.
You and we agree that Company retains the right to modify this Arbitration Agreement in the future. Any such changes will be posted in the Driver App and you should check for updates regularly. Notwithstanding any provision in these Driver Partner Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Company makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Your continued use of the Driver App or Platform, including the acceptance of products and services offered on Driver App or Platform following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement, constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. If you have previously agreed to a version of these Driver Partner Terms with an arbitration agreement and you did not validly opt out of arbitration then, changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of your previous agreement to arbitrate. Company will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.

14.2. Force Majeure.
Company will not be liable for any failure to comply with these Driver Partner Terms to the extent such failure arises from factors outside its reasonable control. Without limiting the foregoing, absent Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Company will not be liable for any damages arising from the acts of hackers or similar bad actors interfering with the Platform or using or disclosing any of Driver Partner’s content.

Any disputes arising from Driver Partner’s use of third-party services must be resolved directly between Driver Partner and the applicable third-party provider.
While using the Driver App to perform Delivery Services, Driver Partner may have the ability to use Google Maps in-app navigation services. If Driver Partner does so, Driver Partner agrees that Google may collect Driver Partner’s location data when the Driver App is running in order to provide and improve Google’s services, and that such data may also be shared with Company in order to improve its operations.

Driver Partner can also use any other navigation app outside the Platform or none at all.

However, changes to the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted. Driver Partner’s continued provision of Services via the Platform after posting of revised Driver Partner Terms and notice of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. Driver Partner is expected to check this page frequently, as all changes are binding.
14.6. Waiver and Severability.
No waiver by Company of any term or condition in these Driver Partner Terms constitutes a further or continuing waiver of that term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Company’s failure to assert a right or provision under these Driver Partner Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
If any word, phrase, sentence, clause, or section of these Driver Partner Terms is declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. These Driver Partner Terms will be construed as if the invalid provision had not been included. If the invalidity is caused by scope, length of time, or size of area, the otherwise invalid provision will be reduced to the extent necessary to cure the invalidity and render it enforceable.
14.7. Entire Agreement.
The Driver Partner Terms and any supplemental agreements incorporated into the Driver Partner Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Company with respect to providing services as a contractor of Company via the Driver App, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, with respect to the Platform.
