8.2. We have no role and we assume no responsibility for the definition and conclusion of the aforementioned Agreements, nor do we intervene to verify, by way of example, (i) the truthfulness, legality, accuracy and any other aspect concerning the contents of Requests and Quotes, (ii) the capacity, authorization or validity of the authorizations declared by the Senders and (iii) the capacity, authorization, validity of the declared authorizations or the effective competence of the Carriers.
8.3. The Agreements concluded through the Website do not constitute transport contracts, but allow Senders and Carriers to identify the essential contents of the future transport agreement that the parties undertake to conclude directly and outside this Website.
8.4. We do not take part in the conclusion of subsequent transport agreements, nor are we able to exercise control over their actual conclusion, the content, quality, safety, quantity, price or other aspects of such contracts. It is always the responsibility of the Carrier and the Sender to negotiate the terms of these contracts, defining - based on mutual needs and what is required by law - the actual feasibility, the form, the object, the relevant obligations and any other aspect.
9.1. Senders can publish a Request describing their transport needs on the Website.
9.2. Carriers will be able to view the published Requests and send quotes on the Website with reference to any Request. We do not guarantee to Senders a minimum number of quotes, as the choice of sending is completely at the discretion of the Carriers.
9.3. Carriers may cancel a Quote at any time until it has been accepted by the Sender. A Quote is considered accepted when the Sender makes the payment of the Deposit and both (Carrier and Sender) receive a confirmation email from the Website.
9.4. The proposal of a Quote by the Carrier and the subsequent acceptance by the Sender determine, in fact, the conclusion of an Agreement.
9.5. Both the Carrier and the Sender have the right to withdraw from an Agreement. The compensation for such right of withdrawal is represented by the Deposit paid by the Sender at the time of acceptance of the Quote.
9.6. If Sender and Carrier reach the conclusion of the subsequent transport agreement, only this contract will regulate relationship between such parties.
10.1. The Sender that accepts a Quote is required to pay, via the Website, a Deposit. For our part, we will proceed to collect the Deposit in the name and on behalf of the Carrier.
10.2. Deposits paid through the Website are not available to us. Any requests for reimbursement must therefore be presented - and, if the case, accepted and met - directly to the Carrie.
11.1. At the time of Registration the Carriers give us the power to collect the Downpayments from the Senders, which will flow into an account assigned to the Carrier ("Account"). The amounts in the Account will not be available to us; it will therefore be the Carrier's right and responsibility to order any withdrawals / refunds of these sums and it will always be the Carrier's responsibility to define for which such withdrawals / refunds will take place.
11.2. Quotes sent to the Website may only relate to goods’ transport, shipment, removal and ancillary or similar activities. Carriers are not allowed to exploit the Membership as a means of buying or selling products or services other than the above.
11.3. Quotes sent by the Carriers must include EVERY cost that is predictably to be borne by the Sender, excluding VAT, for which the sender will find a separate indication according to the regulations in force concerning international transport of goods. The Carrier is not authorized to subsequently add the Commission to the price of the Quote.
11.4. The Carrier is responsible for any tax compliance related to the relationship with the Sender, including, by way of example but not limited to, the collection and payment of any VAT associated with the Agreements, the transport contracts subsequently concluded with the Sender and the operations of withdrawal / repayment of amounts in your Account (including the fulfillment of any obligation to affix a revenue stamp of the amount of E. 2.00 in invoices or receipts for an amount greater than E. 77.47 from release to the Sender).
11.5. If the transport service is entrusted by the Carrier to a third party, it will be the latter’s responsibility to inform the Sender of the status of the shipment. The Carrier shall be held directly liable to the Sender in case of damage and/or claims for reimbursement relating to the service.
12.1. We will charge a commission to the Carrier whose Quote has been approved by the Sender (the “Commission”). The Commission is calculated as a percentage of the amount of the Quote accepted (VAT excl.), and is equal to 11.9 % (VAT excl.) with a minimum of 11.9 €.
For the sake of clarity, the amount (in euros) of the Commission will always be viewable by the Carrier at the time of sending a Quote.
12.2. We reserve the right to modify or suspend the application of the commission at any time, including against individual Carriers.
12.3. The application of the Commission takes place independently of the subsequent conclusion of the transport contract and / or the execution of the transport service.
13.1. The Commissions will be invoiced to the Carrier in a cumulative manner at the end of each calendar month.
13.2. The Carrier may pay the monthly invoice by drawing on the amounts available in his Account and /or by bank transfer within a maximum period of 30 days from the invoice date.
13.3. We reserve the right, without any notice or communication from us, to suspend the Carrier's Subscription.
14.1. The Website makes available an evaluation mechanism (feedback) through which the Sender assigns a judgment to the transport service eventually received by the Carrier.
14.2. The evaluation judgment (feedback) is substantiated by indicating the degree of satisfaction perceived by choosing one of the following options: "positive", "neutral" or "negative", and publishing a brief comment on the quality of the service rendered by the Carrier. We give the possibility to the carriers to publish a counter-feedbac.
14.3. We will not intervene to censor feedback. It is obviously understood that the use of improper, defamatory, offensive expressions, not pertinent to the service received and any abusive use of the evaluation mechanism (feedback) may lead to the cancellation of the Membership, the removal of illegal content and contrary to the rules of the present Website, in addition to the complaint to the competent authorities. The assessment regarding the lawfulness of the contents of the feedback for the purposes of this article is the responsibility of the Management, on a discretionary basis, after obtaining appropriate information, documents and / or statements from the parties involved. The release of feedback from a transporter registered on the Website against another transporter registered on the Website is not permitted.
15.1. Senders and Carriers can open a dispute, in relation to an accepted Quote, through the appropriate function present in the control panel of their personal area of the Website.
Opening a dispute means informing the other party and the Website managers that the other party (Sender or Carrier) is not complying with one or more clauses contained in these Terms including, by way of example:
- Article 9.5 - the Carrier's right to withhold the deposit in the event of withdrawal from the Agreement by the Sender or, vice versa, the Sender's right to obtain a refund of the deposit paid through the Website in the event of withdrawal from the Agreement of the Carrier;
- Article 14.3 - abuse of the evaluation mechanism (feedback), for example through the publication on the Website of defamatory, offensive feedback, not relevant to the service received or untruthful.
15.2. In the event of a dispute arising from the Sender (or from the Carrier):
a) The Sender (or the Carrier) is required to indicate in detail the reasons underlying the opening of the dispute;
b) the Carrier (or the Sender) receives a notice via email containing the reasons for the dispute indicated by the other party;
c) Any feedback and counter-feedback published on the Website by the parties are temporarily suspended, pending the opinion of the Website managers on the facts;
d) The parties are required to provide testimonials, documents or other information to the Website managers to evaluate the incident and to express an opinion on the dispute. All information must be received within 3 working days from the time these are requested by the Website managers;
e) The Website managers issue an impartial judgment on the dispute, in favor of the Sender or in favor of the Carrier, within 3 working days from the collection of the information indicated in point c). The judgment issued may include, among other things:
- The obligation for the Carrier to reimburse the booking deposit paid through the Website by the Sender; in the event of non-fulfillment, the Carrier accepts that the Website carries out such reimbursement on its behalf, unless it requests its subsequent compensation to the Carrier;
- The obligation for the Sender and / or the Carrier to modify or eliminate the feedback given to the counterparty as it is considered contrary to these Terms; in the event of non-fulfillment, the Sender and the Carrier agree that the Website will make such changes / deletions on their behalf.
15.3 The opening of a dispute cannot relate to events unrelated to these Terms such as, for example, any failure by the Sender or the Carrier to make agreements directly between the parties outside the Website. In these cases, in fact, the managers of the Website would not have sufficient elements (nor would they in any case be held, given their role as mere managers of the Website) to express a judgment on the merits of acts or events that occurred in private locations between Sender and Carrier.
15.4 In case of problems with the carrier, the Sender must open the dispute within 30 days after the date of delivery. In the event of disputes regarding the feedback received, the Carrier must open the dispute within 30 of the date of publication of the feedback.
