You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, commercialize or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including Turvo’s) rights. 

We reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice. 

You understand that Turvo owns the Services. You won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services. 

The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content; but please remember that all the restrictions above will continue to apply to that Content. 

What licenses am I granting to Turvo and other Users? 

Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions may be viewable by other Users. In order to display your User Submissions on the Services, and to allow other Users to enjoy them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent they relate to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information. 

For all User Submissions, you hereby grant Turvo a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide, royalty- free, and non-exclusive license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer), reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below. 

If you store a User Submission in your own personal account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a “Personal User Submission”), you grant Turvo the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and providing the Services necessary to do so. 

If you share a User Submission only in a manner that only certain specified Users can view (for example, if you are a Driver, sharing your personal information and location in a way that is viewable only to Shippers and/or Carriers that you authorize, in addition to Turvo) (a “Limited Audience User Submission”), then you grant Turvo the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Audience User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Limited Audience User Submission accessible to such other specified Users, and providing the Services necessary to do so. Also, you grant such other specified Users a license to access that Limited Audience User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services. 

If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services and/or in a manner that more than just you or certain specified Users can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Public User Submission”), then you grant Turvo the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all Users and providing the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with Turvo’s business. Also, you grant all other Users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services. 

All of the above are licenses only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected. You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide. 

Finally, you understand and agree that Turvo, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our Users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform 

and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so. 

What if I see something on the Services that infringes my copyright? 

You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like Turvo, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. In accordance with the DMCA, we’ve adopted the policy below toward copyright infringement. We reserve the right to (1) block access to or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders. To learn more about the DMCA, click here. 

(1) Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements. If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Services infringes your copyright (or the copyright of someone whom you are authorized to act on behalf of), please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Turvo’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement (our “Designated Agent,” whose contact details are listed below):

  • (a) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
  • (b) Identification of works or materials being infringed;

  • (d) Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number and, if available, email address;
  • (e) A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material identified in (1)(c) isnot
  • authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • (f) A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate andthe

(2) Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is received by the Designated Agent. Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, we reserve the right to:

  • (a) remove or disable access to the infringing material;
  • (b) notify the content provider who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and 
  • (c) terminate such content provider’s access to the Services if he or she is a repeat offender. 

(3) Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. If the content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or, pursuant to the law, the content provider may send us a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent:

  • (a) A physical or electronic signature of the content provider; 
  • (b) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; 
  • (c) A statement that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and 
  • (d) Content provider’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located, or, if the content provider’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Turvo is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. 

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Turvo may, in its discretion, send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Turvo may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider accused of committing infringement, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Turvo’s discretion.

Turvo has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third-party websites or by any third-party that you interact with through the Services (“Third-Party Services”). The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Turvo. When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Turvo is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website or service that you visit or utilize. Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any on or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that Turvo shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings. 

Some Third-Party Services may be listed on Turvo’s Integration Hub or other pages within Turvo’s website. Some Third-Party Services may be Turvo partners that Turvo is authorized to resell.

Subscription Term 

During the term of your subscription for our Services, you may not terminate your obligations under the ordering document or these Terms. For clarity, you may not terminate your subscription term for convenience. If you stop using the Services prior to the end of subscription term you agree to pay the full amount of fees outstanding described in the ordering document through the end of the then current subscription term, and if you have provided credit information or ACH transfer information, you authorize Turvo to charge your credit card for such fees due.

Account termination may result in destruction of any Content or User Submission associated with your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your account so that you are able to retrieve any important Content or User Submissions you may have stored in your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Company. 

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us, including without limitation the arbitration agreement. 

Turvo is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account for your breach of these Terms. Turvo has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, You agree to indemnify and hold Turvo, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your violation of these Terms. 

Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for 1 year after, you shall not, and shall not assist any other person to, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit (other than by general advertisement not directed specifically to any person or persons) for employment or engagement as an independent contractor any person then or within the prior 6 months employed or engaged by Turvo or any subcontractor. In the event of a violation of this Section, Turvo will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to the compensation paid by Turvo to the applicable employee or contractor during the prior 6 months. 

CCPA. You acknowledge and agree that Turvo is a service provider for purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and is receiving personal information from you pursuant to the Data Processing Addendum incorporated by reference into these Terms for a business purpose. Turvo shall not sell any such personal information. Turvo shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by you pursuant to these Terms except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for you pursuant to these Terms, or otherwise as set forth in these Terms or as permitted by the CCPA. The terms “personal information,” “service provider,” “sale,” and “sell” are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA. Turvo certifies that it understands the restrictions of this paragraph. 

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Turvo’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent. 

Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. 

Arbitration Agreement. Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully. It requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Turvo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. Both you and Turvo acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, Turvo’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third party beneficiary hereof. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND TURVO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. 

  • (a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  • (b) Costs of Arbitration. The JAMS rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. 
  • (c) Small Claims Court. Furthermore, either you or Turvo may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Dallas County, Texas or any United States county where you live or work. 
  • (d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND TURVO WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Turvo are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Turvo over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND TURVO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge. 
  • (e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below. 
  • (f) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out either by email at compliance@turvo.com or by mail, postmarked within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to the following address: 4514 Cole Ave, Suite #645, Dallas, TX 75205 United States. Your notice (whether submitted via email or via mail) must include (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement. 
  • (g) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Turvo to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party and both you and Turvo agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas. 
  • (h) Miscellaneous. You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services, provided that the Turvo may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Turvo agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Turvo, and that these Terms supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Turvo, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Turvo in any respect whatsoever.
