Last Modified: October 17, 2022

These Customer Terms of Service (these “Customer Terms”) are between you (“you”, “Customer” (with respect to a business, organization or other legal entity), or “Authorized User”) and Ninik, Inc. (or its successors or assigns) (“Ninik”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) and describe your rights and responsibilities when using the mobile and/or web-based software platform and related technology services (the “Services) offered by us. These Customer Terms and any Order Form(s) (defined in Section 2.3 (Subscriptions) below) form the “Agreement” between you and us with respect to the Services.

Please read these terms carefully to ensure you understand each provision. These Customer Terms contain a jury trial waiver provision and a mandatory arbitration provision.

Please make sure you have the necessary authority to enter into the Agreement on behalf of Customer before proceeding. The Services are not intended for and should not be used by anyone under the age of 18.

Services Description; Independent Contractor
‍The Services provide a platform (the “Ninik Platform”) that includes tools for trucking operations, including but not limited to technology intended to assist in an independent contractor owner-operator relationship, where applicable, between Ninik Inc (“Ninik Inc”) as a duly licensed interstate motor carrier and Customer as a source of transportation equipment and driver services pursuant to a separate written agreement consistent with 49 CFR 376.12 (a “Lease Agreement”). Any guidance we provide as part of our Services is solely informational and you may decide to follow it or not. In addition, you understand and agree that you are an independent contractor, and no form of joint employer, joint venture, partnership, or similar relationship between you and us is intended or created under your Agreement with us. As an independent contractor, you are solely responsible for: (a) determining the means and methods for performing your transport services; and (b) persons employed or otherwise engaged by you for the performance of your transport services, including responsibility for all applicable employee-related tax, salary, and benefit programs.
General Provisions
2.1 Authorized Users and Accounts
If you are registering an account on the Ninik Platform (an “Account”) as an administrator of the Services on behalf of a Customer entity, (a) you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind the entity and to grant us all permissions and licenses provided in this Agreement; (b) the words “you” and “your” used in this Agreement mean Customer, i.e., the entity registering the Account, in addition to each individual authorized by the entity to access the Services (an “Authorized User”); (c) you are responsible for administering Customer’s access to the Services by adding and removing
Authorized Users at the Customer’s direction; and (d) you shall not allow access to or use of the Services by anyone other than Authorized Users.Authorized Users agree to: (i) not share your Account or transfer any part of it to anyone else; (ii) provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and keep your Account information up-to-date; and (iii) keep any codes we provide you to access the Services (“Access Codes”) secure and confidential. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account and are responsible for anything that happens through your Account prior to closing it or reporting misuse to us. Customer is responsible for Authorized Users’ compliance with this Agreement, including for ensuring that Authorized Users maintain the confidentiality of Access Codes and user names.

2.2 Customer Content
‍Authorized Users may submit content or information to the Services, which includes Personal Information (as defined in Section 2.5 (Privacy Policy and Protection of Personal Information) below) and User Content (as defined in Section 3.2(c) (License to User Content) below) (collectively, “Customer Content”), and Customer will have the sole right and responsibility for managing your use of it. Customer will (a) inform Authorized Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of the Services and of any settings that may impact the processing of Customer Content; and (b) obtain all rights, permissions and/or consents from Authorized Users and other Customer personnel that are necessary to grant the rights and licenses in the Agreement and for the lawful use and transmission of Customer Content and the operation of the Services.

2.3 Subscriptions
‍A subscription allows Customer and its Authorized Users to access the Services. A subscription may be procured through the Services interface, or in some cases, via an order form entered into between Customer and us (each, an “Order Form”). Subscriptions commence when we make the Services available to Customer (and in no event prior to execution of a Lease Agreement, to the extent applicable) and continue for the term specified in the Services or in the Order Form, as applicable, or as earlier terminated as described below (the “Initial Subscription Period”). A “Renewal Subscription Period” means a period of time equivalent to one (1) year or the Initial Subscription Period, whichever is shorter (the Initial Subscription Period collectively with any Renewal Subscription Periods shall be referred to as the “Subscription Period”). Please read the “Auto-Renewals” Section 5.2 below to learn more about automatic renewals of the Initial Subscription Period and any Renewal Subscription Periods. To the extent you receive the Services from Ninik Inc pursuant to a Lease Agreement, the Subscription Period shall be co-terminous with the term of the Lease Agreement.

2.4 Feedback
‍Customer and its Authorized Users may choose to, or we may invite them to, submit comments or ideas about the Services, including without limitation about how to improve the Services or our products (“Ideas”). By submitting any Idea, Customer agrees that its disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place us under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the Idea without any compensation, whether to Customer, the Authorized User, or anyone else, and/or to disclose the Idea on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. Customer further acknowledges that, by acceptance of the submission, we do not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to us, or developed by our personnel, or obtained from sources other than Customer or its Authorized Users.

2.5 Privacy Policy and Protection of Personal Information
‍Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use and performance of our websites, services, and products, including personal information about our Customers and Authorized Users.

We will process any information relating to identified or identifiable natural persons, which is included in the Customer Content (“Personal Information”) in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy. We will not process Personal Information for other purposes without your prior written instruction. You acknowledge and agree that processing based on the provisions in the Agreement and in the product documentation for the Services (the “Documentation”) qualify as Customer’s instruction. Generally, Personal Information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, and/or “personal information,” “personally identifiable information,” or such other similar term under applicable privacy or data protection laws that apply to such person.

The protection of Personal Information is important to us. Accordingly, we will maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information. In the event we have a reasonable, good faith belief that an unauthorized party has accessed Personal Information, we will promptly notify Customer and will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Customer’s investigation of the incident. If such incident triggers any third-party notice requirements, Customer (not us) shall be solely responsible for the timing, content, cost and method of any such notice in compliance with applicable laws. Customer (not us) bears sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Personal Information when in Customer’s or its representatives’ or agents’ possession or control. We are not responsible, and Customer is fully responsible, for what Customer’s Authorized Users do with Personal Information.

We are custodians of Personal Information. During the Subscription Period, Customer will be permitted to export or share certain Personal Information from the Services; provided, however, that Customer acknowledges and agrees that the ability to export or share Personal Information may be limited or unavailable depending on the type of Services plan in effect and the data retention settings enabled.

2.6 Location Data
‍To provide the Services, we may collect location data from you and your Authorized Users, including specific information such as your or your Authorized Users’ IP addresses, and latitude/longitude coordinates (including but not limited to GPS/GNSS). Customer acknowledges and agrees that we may use and retain this data to provide and improve our products and services, subject to our Privacy Policy .

‍2.7 Notifications and Communications
‍We will communicate with you via fax, phone call, text (SMS) message, email or push notifications in order that we may provide the Services, service your Account, reasonably address matters pertaining to your Account or for other purposes reasonably related to the Services and our business, including but not limited to notifying you about upcoming loads and sending you marketing-related messages.

‍Calls and SMS text messages. By creating an Account or using the Services you expressly consent and agree to accept and receive communications from us, including via fax, text (SMS) messages and phone calls at any of your landline or mobile phone number you provided, even if you are listed on any federal, state, provincial or other applicable “Do Not Call” list, in order that we may provide the Services, including but not limited to operational communications concerning your Account or use of the Services, information concerning new and existing loads and features on the Services, and other Services-related notifications and communications. With your consent, we may also send you promotional calls or text messages containing news and special offers, discounts or other promotional or commercial content (“Promotional Calls”). By consenting to being contacted by us, you understand and expressly authorize us to send you these communications, including live calls from an operator, or pre-recorded or auto-generated voice messages, or SMS text messages, and that we may use automated telephone dialing systems to deliver these messages sent by or on behalf of us, our affiliates, subsidiaries and/or our staff, employees, contractors and agents. Standard rates and charges for all calls or texts, as applied by your cell phone carrier, will apply to text messages and calls. You represent that you have received, and are authorized to convey to us, the consent of any Authorized Users on your Account to be contacted by us as described in this section. You agree that all consents provided in this section will survive cancellation of your Account.

You acknowledge that you are not required to consent to receive Promotional Calls as a condition of using the Services. You may opt-out of receiving all Promotional Calls (including pre-recorded or live calls or SMS text messages) at any time by replying “STOP Ads” to any text messages from us or by contacting us at help@ninikinc.com. You may opt-out of receiving all text messages from us (including informational or transactional messages) by replying with the word “STOP” to a text message from us; however, you acknowledge that opting out of receiving all text messages will prohibit us from contacting you with necessary Services-related messages including Access Codes, and as such, opting out of receiving all text messages will suspend your use of the Services until you contact us at help@ninikinc.com to reinstate our ability to text you Access Codes.

Payment Obligations
If you are subject to a Lease Agreement with Ninik, the Lease Agreement governs the economic relationship between you and Ninik, including with respect to the Services, and this Section 4 shall not apply to your use of the Services.
4.1 Payment Terms

In the event we make the Services available on a stand-alone basis, i.e., independent of a paid Lease Agreement, any fees that we may charge for such stand-alone access will be specified through the Services interface or in the Order Form(s) and must be paid in advance. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in the Agreement, fees paid are non-refundable. For clarity, in the event Customer downgrades any subscriptions from a paid plan to a free plan, Customer will remain responsible for any unpaid fees under the paid plan, and Services under the paid plan will be deemed fully performed and delivered upon expiration of the Initial Subscription Period. If we agree to invoice Customer by email, full payment must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes“). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income.

4.2 Billing Policies
Customer agrees to the pricing communicated to you by us for access to our Services. We may add new services that carry additional fees and charges, or add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in our sole discretion, by giving to the Customer at least 60 days’ written notice, such increase to take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle. If the Customer is unhappy with the increase, the Customer may give notice to terminate the Agreement, by giving at least 30 days’ written notice to us, such notice to expire no later than the end of the then-current billing cycle. The fees will not increase during the notice period; otherwise, any change to such pricing shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change as provided under the Agreement.

4.3 Payment Information
We may use a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) to process payments you make in connection with the Services. Please see Payment Processor’s privacy statement available on its website for information on how Payment Processor collects and uses personal information. Payment must be received by Payment Processor before our acceptance of an order, and must use one of the payment methods accepted by the Payment Processor. We do not view or store your full credit card or other payment method information. For all payments, Payment Processor will collect your payment method details and charge your chosen payment method in connection with an order. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any security or privacy breaches of your credit card or other payment method.

You represent and warrant that: (a) the Account, order, and payment method information you supply to us or to Payment Processor, as applicable, is true, correct, current, and complete; (b) you are duly authorized to use such payment method; (c) you will pay any charges that you incur in connection with the Services, including any applicable taxes; (d) charges incurred by you will be honored by your payment method company; (e) you will pay all charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable Taxes, if any; (f) you will not allow anyone other than your Authorized Users to use your subscription; (g) you will not transfer your subscription to anyone else; and (h) you will report to us any unauthorized or prohibited access or use of your subscription or of any Access Codes (or other login credentials).

If any of your Account, order, or payment method information changes, you agree to promptly update this information, so that we or Payment Processor may complete your transactions and contact you as needed. We are not liable for any unauthorized use of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method by a third-party in connection with your use of the Services or your subscription.
Term and Termination

5.1 Agreement Term
As further described below, a free subscription continues until terminated, while a paid subscription has a Subscription Period that may expire or be terminated. The Agreement remains effective until all subscriptions ordered under the Agreement have expired or been terminated, or the Agreement itself terminates. Termination of the Agreement will terminate all subscriptions and all Order Forms.

5.2 Auto-Renewal
UNLESS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN AN ORDER FORM, (A) THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND ANY RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS; AND (B) THE PER-UNIT PRICING DURING ANY AUTOMATIC RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD WILL BE THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE COMMUNICATED TO YOU BY US. EITHER PARTY CAN GIVE THE OTHER NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD OR THE THEN-CURRENT RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, AS APPLICABLE, TO STOP A SUBSCRIPTION FROM AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING. When you procure a subscription, you expressly acknowledge and agree that: (1) we are authorized to charge you at the beginning of the Initial Subscription Period or applicable Renewal Subscription Period the fees for the Services, any applicable Taxes, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Services, for as long as your subscription continues; and (2) your subscription is continuous until the Services are suspended, discontinued or terminated in accordance with the Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your subscription plan, changes in applicable taxes, and changes in fees in accordance with Section 4 and you authorize us or Payment Processor, as applicable, to charge your payment method for the changed amounts

5.3 Termination for Cause
We or Customer may terminate the Agreement on notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides notice of the breach. Customer is responsible for its Authorized Users, including for any breaches of the Agreement caused by its Authorized Users. We may terminate the Agreement immediately on notice to Customer if we reasonably believe that the Services are being used by Customer or its Authorized Users in violation of applicable law.

5.4 Termination Without Cause
Customer may terminate its free subscriptions immediately without cause. We may terminate the Agreement without cause, but we will provide Customer with thirty (30) days prior written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Period after the effective date of termination.

5.5 Effect of Termination
Upon any termination for cause by Customer, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Period after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by us, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Period after the effective date of termination. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
