Introduction & Acceptance of Agreement

Subtrux Pty Ltd (ACN 623 495 063) (“Subtrux“) is a technology services provider, which makes available an application that assists with matching Drivers and Senders for the transportation of goods. Through its application, Subtrux creates a marketplace for Senders to advertise Job Briefs and to enable independent third-party Drivers to accept and complete those jobs. The Services are provided to the Sender only as set out in the Agreement. Subtrux does not provide Transportation Services, nor is it in the business of doing so. This document sets out the terms and conditions of the legally binding agreement between you (“you“, or the “Sender“) and Subtrux (“Agreement“). Upon your execution (electronic or otherwise) of this Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the Agreement, you may not access or use the Subtrux App or the Services. Any prior agreements or arrangements with you are expressly superseded by this Agreement. Subtrux may terminate this Agreement or any Services with respect to you at any time for any reason. The terms and conditions of this Agreement must be read carefully. Aspects of the Services may be subject to additional conditions, guidelines, policies, terms, rules, or procedures which will be provided to you in conjunction with this Agreement. All such additional conditions, guidelines, policies, terms, rules, or procedures are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that Subtrux is a technology services provider and that Subtrux does not provide Transportation Services.

The Driver will accept or decline a Job Brief within the Permitted Timeframe. If the Driver does not respond to the Job Brief within the Permitted Timeframe, the Driver will be deemed to have declined the Job Brief.
The Sender may cancel a Job Brief at any time before it has been accepted by a Driver without charge.
The Sender acknowledges and agrees that the Sender will enter into a separate agreement, which may or may not be in the form of a consignment note with the Driver for the carriage of the Goods once they have been matched using the Services, and any agreement or consignment note will not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

The Driver and the Sender must both ensure that the load is secure and that the load has adequate load restraint in accordance with all Laws.
If the Goods at the Collection Point do not match the description in the Job Brief, such as in relation to dimension, and, consequently, the Goods are too big or too heavy for the capacity of the Vehicle, or the Driver considers that the Goods do not comply with Laws or are otherwise Dangerous Goods, the Driver may reject the Job Brief or the Job and the Sender will be charged a Cancellation Fee.

In the event the Sender’s average rating falls below the Minimum Sender Rating, Subtrux will notify the Sender and may provide the Sender, in Subtrux’s discretion, a limited period of time to raise the Sender’s average rating above the Minimum Sender Rating.
