READYHAUL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATFORM

ReadyHaul operates an online marketplace that connects:

• Haulers: independent truck owners and operators, including free-on-board (FOB) haulers and other carriers who provide transportation of concrete and related materials; and
• Shippers: ready mix concrete companies, construction companies, material suppliers, and other entities that need hauling services.

The Platform allows Shippers to post hauling opportunities and allows Haulers to view, accept, and manage those opportunities. ReadyHaul may also provide tools to facilitate communication, notifications (including text messages), and certain administrative features.

ReadyHaul is not a motor carrier, not a shipper, not a freight broker, not a freight forwarder, not a dispatcher, and not an employer of Haulers, and does not provide transportation services. ReadyHaul operates a neutral, automated, self-service listing and matching technology only. ReadyHaul does not select, assign, dispatch, or direct any Hauler to perform any job; Haulers self-select jobs on a first-come, first-served basis through the Platform's listing tools. Except where explicitly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, ReadyHaul does not act as a freight broker or transportation provider and does not assume responsibility for the transportation of freight or for the performance of Haulers or Shippers.

Any hauling services are provided solely by Haulers to Shippers under separate agreements between those parties. ReadyHaul is not a party to and has no responsibility under those underlying transportation agreements, including any obligation regarding rate negotiation, route selection, equipment selection, vehicle inspection, driver qualification, hours-of-service compliance, cargo claims, payment, or collection.

Each Hauler is and remains an independent business that holds its own operating authority and insurance. Each Shipper is solely responsible for selecting Haulers it does business with and for the suitability of any Hauler that accepts its loads. Use of the Platform does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by ReadyHaul of any Hauler or Shipper.

2. ELIGIBILITY

You may use the Platform only if:

1. You are at least eighteen (18) years old and capable of entering into a binding contract.
2. You have full authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and any business entity you represent.
3. You and any business you represent comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to commercial driving, transportation, motor carrier, brokerage, insurance, tax, and safety requirements.

If you are registering on behalf of a business, "you" and "your" as used in these Terms include both you as an individual and the business entity.

3. ACCOUNTS AND REGISTRATION

To use certain features of the Platform, you may be required to create an account.

• You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information updated.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
• You must promptly notify us at support@readyhaul.net of any unauthorized access or suspected security breach.
• We may refuse registration, suspend, or terminate your account at our discretion if we believe you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or engaged in fraudulent or harmful activity.

4. ROLES AND RELATIONSHIPS

4.1 Relationship between ReadyHaul and Haulers

Haulers are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, or representatives of ReadyHaul. Nothing in these Terms is intended to create any employment, agency, joint venture, partnership, or franchise relationship.

Haulers are solely responsible for:

• Maintaining all required licenses, registrations, permits, and qualifications (including but not limited to CDL, DOT, and FMCSA requirements where applicable).
• Maintaining and operating vehicles in a safe and compliant condition.
• Obtaining and maintaining all required insurance, including auto liability, cargo, workers compensation, and any other coverage required by law or contract.
• Complying with hours-of-service, safety, and other transportation regulations.
• Determining whether to accept opportunities posted on the Platform and the manner and means of performing any accepted work.

4.2 Relationship between ReadyHaul and Shippers

Shippers are solely responsible for:

• Providing accurate load information, including pickup and delivery locations, quantities, time windows, and special requirements.
• Ensuring that their operations and use of Haulers comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and site safety rules.
• Any contractual obligations they undertake with Haulers, including payment terms where they pay Haulers directly.

ReadyHaul does not guarantee that any Hauler will accept a posted opportunity or that any posted job will be completed.

5. MARKETPLACE AND PAYMENT STRUCTURE

5.1 Job Postings and Acceptance

The Platform may allow Shippers to:

• Post hauling opportunities, including job details, proposed pay, and timing; and
• View and select Haulers who express interest or accept specific jobs.

Haulers may:

• View available opportunities;
• Accept or decline jobs at their discretion; and
• Communicate with Shippers through the Platform.

ReadyHaul does not warrant that any listing is accurate, complete, or current and does not guarantee job volume or earnings.

5.2 Payments between Shippers and Haulers

In many cases, Shippers will pay Haulers directly for services performed, separate from ReadyHaul. Where this is the case:

• ReadyHaul is not a party to payment arrangements between Shippers and Haulers.
• ReadyHaul is not responsible for collection or non-payment of amounts owed between Shippers and Haulers.
• Any disputes regarding payment, performance, or quality of services are solely between Shippers and Haulers.

If ReadyHaul, now or in the future, offers tools to facilitate invoicing, payment processing, or disbursements, those tools will be provided via third-party service providers (for example, payment processors). ReadyHaul is not a bank, money transmitter, or financial institution and does not hold funds in trust.

5.3 ReadyHaul Fees

ReadyHaul may charge Shippers and/or Haulers fees for the use of the Platform or for each completed job, as disclosed in your account or in a separate written agreement.

• You authorize ReadyHaul and our payment providers to charge any applicable fees, taxes, and other amounts to your designated payment method.
• Fees are generally non-refundable unless we clearly state otherwise or are required to provide a refund by law.

6. USER RESPONSIBILITIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that:

1. All information you submit is true, accurate, and complete.
2. You have all necessary rights, licenses, and authority to use the Platform and to enter into and perform any contracts you make through it.
3. You will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including transportation, safety, environmental, data privacy, and anti-spam laws.
4. You will not use the Platform for any illegal, fraudulent, or unsafe purpose, including transporting illegal substances or violating environmental or site specific restrictions.
5. You will maintain all legally required insurance. Insurance status is verified automatically through DOT number records filed with TxDMV.

7. SAFETY, COMPLIANCE, AND INSURANCE

ReadyHaul verifies Hauler insurance status through DOT number records filed with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). ReadyHaul may also collect W9 tax documentation and other compliance information. However:

• ReadyHaul does not guarantee the accuracy, sufficiency, or continued validity of any information obtained from TxDMV or submitted by users.
• ReadyHaul does not provide a safety rating or insurance endorsement and does not assume responsibility for verifying compliance beyond automated DOT record checks.
• Each user is solely responsible for its own safety practices, regulatory compliance, and insurance coverage.

Nothing in these Terms or in the use of the Platform modifies or supersedes any legal obligations under federal, state, or local law, including laws administered by departments of transportation, motor carrier regulators, or other agencies.

8. SMS AND EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

8.1 Consent to Communications

By creating an account, providing your phone number, and opting in where indicated, you agree that ReadyHaul may send you:

• Text messages and email messages related to your account and the Platform, such as registration confirmations, security alerts, and administrative notices.
• Operational messages relating to hauling opportunities, job status, scheduling changes, cancellations, and similar transactional notifications.

These communications may be sent using automated technology. You understand that consent to receive these messages is not a condition of being a Hauler or a Shipper on the Platform.

8.2 Message Types and Frequency

Message frequency will vary based on your activity and preferences, but may include multiple messages per day when you are actively using the Platform or have open jobs.

Example messages include:

• "ReadyHaul: New load available at Plant A tomorrow at 7:30 AM. Reply YES to view details."
• "ReadyHaul: Job #12345 has been updated. Pickup time is now 9:00 AM."

8.3 Opting Out

You may opt out of promotional or non-essential SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to any text message you receive from ReadyHaul.

• After you send STOP, we will send you one final message confirming that you have been unsubscribed.
• After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us at that number, except where we are legally permitted or required to send certain notices.

To receive help regarding SMS, reply HELP to any message or contact us at support@readyhaul.net.

Opting out of SMS communications may impact your ability to receive real-time job notifications and updates.

You may also manage your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting us.

8.4 Charges and Carrier Disclaimers

ReadyHaul and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
2. ReadyHaul's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the Platform or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent allowed by law.

16. INDEMNIFICATION

1. Your use of or access to the Platform;
2. Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law;
3. Your User Content;
4. Any hauling services you provide or receive; or
5. Your negligence, misconduct, or violation of the rights of any third party.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

Mutual Indemnification between Haulers and Shippers. As between Haulers and Shippers:

• Each Hauler agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the applicable Shipper and ReadyHaul from any claims, losses, or liabilities arising out of the Hauler's transportation services, equipment, drivers, employees, contractors, insurance, regulatory compliance, or breach of these Terms.
• Each Shipper agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the applicable Hauler and ReadyHaul from any claims, losses, or liabilities arising out of the load, the loading or unloading site, the materials transported, the Shipper's instructions, payment between Shipper and Hauler, or the Shipper's breach of these Terms.

These mutual obligations between Haulers and Shippers operate independently of, and do not reduce, each user's separate indemnification obligations to ReadyHaul above.

17. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

We may, in our discretion and without liability, suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, or terminate these Terms with respect to you, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe that:
