Before you start delivering envelopes and packages to the general public and businesses, please read these terms of use carefully, including the Privacy Policy incorporated herein.

ABOUT XPEDE

We own and operate this app (“Driver App”), and the related consumer web- and mobile-sites and mobile application(s), and selected other domains (collectively, the “Platform”). These “Terms of Use”, taken together with the Independent Contractor Agreement and related agreement (the “Agreement”) you have entered into with XPEDE, constitute a contract between you and us and govern your access to and use of the Platform. By accessing and/or using the Driver App, you agree to all the Terms of Use of our Agreement. If you do not agree, please do not use the Driver App. As used in this Agreement, “XPEDE,” “we,” “us,” and “our” shall mean XPEDE Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates.

USING THE XPEDE DRIVER APP

You may use the Driver App only if you are an authorized XPEDE delivery Courier (“Delivery Courier”) with a validly executed and current Agreement, and solely for the purpose of obtaining and fulfilling delivery or pick up orders and providing delivery or pick up services to the general public and businesses (“Services”). Your right and ability to continue using the Driver App for the purpose of fulfilling delivery orders will terminate immediately if the Agreement is terminated

Use of the Driver App requires that you register and/or create an account (“Account”) by providing certain personal information. In consideration of the use of the Driver App, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form; and (b) maintain and promptly update the personal information you provide to ensure that it remains true, accurate, current, and complete; if you fail to do any of the foregoing, XPEDE will have the right to terminate the Agreement and restrict your access to the Driver App.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account and password, and for all activities and any other actions that occur under or are taken in connection with your password or Account. You agree to (a) immediately notify XPEDE of any known or suspected unauthorized use(s) of your password or Account, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password or information available to you through the Driver App; and (b) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session. XPEDE will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage of any kind arising from or relating to your failure to comply with (a) or (b) above, or for any acts or omissions by you or someone else using your Account and/or password.

By accessing the Driver App, you will have sole discretion and authority to: indicate your availability; accept or reject orders that are transmitted to you for delivery or pick up; indicate stages of completion during the delivery or pick up fulfillment process; communicate with the customers; view the transaction log for those orders you have fulfilled; rate and review your experience with the customers; and manage your payment settings.

You agree that you will act as a “Service Provider,” as such term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 et seq. (the “CCPA”), in the performance of your obligations pursuant to the Agreement. Accordingly, and without limiting any of the provisions set forth in the Independent Contractor Agreement, by using the Platform, including the Driver App, you acknowledge and agree that you are permitted to use the information disclosed or otherwise made available to you, including without limitation customers’ data (e.g. customers’ names, phone numbers, email, and physical addresses) and any other information subject to applicable privacy and/or data security laws, rules or regulations (collectively, “Customers Data”), transaction logs and other Materials (as defined below), solely for the purpose of providing the Services. For clarity, you shall not retain, use or disclose Customers Data beyond what is necessary to provide the Services without the express consent of the Customers, nor download, store and/or sell any information you process in connection with the provision of Services outside of the Driver App or otherwise use Customers Data for any purpose other than providing the Services. You also agree to comply with any written requests from Customers or XPEDE to delete Customers Data.

Any other use of the Materials is strictly prohibited. None of the Materials may be copied, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, distributed in any way, and/or modified without our express written permission.

XPEDE and its officers, directors, employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, licensors, licensees, designees, business Couriers, contractors, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) will not be responsible for, and you hereby expressly release the Released Parties from, any and all liability for the action of any and all third parties with respect to your Ratings and Reviews.
