‍These are the Terms of Service (“Terms”) of TrueNorth Technologies Inc. (“TrueNorth”). If you use our products and services (including mobile applications), websites, or other technologies, these Terms apply so please read them carefully.

‍Scope
These Terms apply to users of our products and services (including mobile applications), websites (e.g. https://www.truenorth.com/), or other technologies, which are collectively referred to in these Terms as our “Services”. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity or other organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that entity or organization and representing to us that you have the authority to bind that entity or organization to these Terms (and, in which case, the term “you” will refer to you and that entity or organization). You can use our Services only if you can lawfully enter into and form contracts under applicable law. If you use our Services, you must do so in compliance with these Terms and with applicable laws and regulations. If you do not want these Terms to apply, please do not use our Services. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT THAT WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNDER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST TRUENORTH ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

‍Changes to These Terms
‍We may change or modify portions of these Terms at any time, including when there are changes in our Services, technology, regulation or for other reasons. If we do, we will provide notice by posting the updated Terms on our website and changing the “Last Updated” date above. Any amended Terms will become effective no earlier than 14 days after they are posted and will apply prospectively to your use of the Services after the changes become effective, except that changes addressing new functions of our Services or changes made for legal reasons may be effective immediately. Your continued use of our Services following the effective date of these changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you will need to discontinue using our Services.

‍Our Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy is located at https://www.truenorth.com/privacy. Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share your personal information.  In agreeing to these Terms, you also acknowledge and agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy.
‍
‍Accessing and Using Our Services

Overview
Our Services are designed to provide a software platform for trucking businesses and freight brokers.

Our software platform assists trucking businesses with managing trucking fleets, including through a mobile app. Features of our Services include: electronic freight load board and customizable features, load matching and virtual dispatch services, load document processing applications, and load and payment tracking applications.

Our software platform also assists freight brokers in searching for and matching with trucking businesses that are able to assist in fulfilling trucking loads on behalf of such freight brokers. For the avoidance of doubt, TrueNorth is not a party to any contract or business agreement that any freight broker may enter into with a trucking business for the delivery of any trucking loads. TrueNorth does not make any representations or warranties with respect to any trucking business to whom any freight broker may be matched with in connection with its use of the Services.

If you have a separate written and executed agreement with TrueNorth for your use of certain Services, these Terms will not apply with respect to such Services and instead the terms of your separate written agreement will govern your use of such Services.
‍
‍Fees
‍To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you may be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to TrueNorth that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with TrueNorth or our Payment Processor (as defined below), as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay TrueNorth the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service.  If your payment plan includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you hereby authorize TrueNorth (through the Payment Processor) to bill your payment instrument in advance on such periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred.  If you dispute any charges you must let TrueNorth know within sixty (60) days after the date that TrueNorth charges you, or within such longer period of time as may be required under applicable law.  We reserve the right to change TrueNorth’s prices. If TrueNorth does change prices, TrueNorth will provide notice of the change through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at TrueNorth’s option, before the change is to take effect.  Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on TrueNorth’s net income.
‍
‍Payment Processing
Notwithstanding any amounts owed to TrueNorth hereunder, TRUENORTH DOES NOT DIRECTLY PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY SERVICES. To facilitate payment for the Services via bank account, credit card, or debit card, we use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”). These payment processing services are provided by Stripe or another payment processor selected by us and are subject to the certain terms and conditions, privacy policies and all other relevant agreements provided by the Payment Processor (collectively, the “Payment Processor Agreements”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service, users that use the payment functions of the Services also agree to be bound by the applicable Payment Processor Agreement for the payment function the user is using, as the same may be modified by the applicable Payment Processor from time to time. You hereby authorize the applicable Payment Processor to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Services. Please contact the applicable Payment Processor for more information.
‍
‍Refunds and Cancellations
‍Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by TrueNorth. You may cancel your subscription by emailing us at: support@truenorth.com and clearly stating that you wish to cancel your subscription with TrueNorth.

Copyright Complaints
‍We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify us of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below. We will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to us at support@truenorth.com with the subject line “DMCA Takedown Request.” To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:
●  An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
●  A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
●  A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on our Service, with enough detail that we may find it on our Service;
●  Your address, telephone number, and email address;
●  A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and
●  A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send us a written counter-notice containing the following information:
●  Your physical or electronic signature;
●  Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled; and
●  A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within San Francisco, CA and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If we receive a counter-notice, we will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, in our sole discretion, limit access to our Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

‍Termination
‍You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of our Services and remove and discard any content within our Services (including any User Content), for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if we believe that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms.

‍General
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us and govern your use of our Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and us with respect to our Services.

With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and we agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Francisco, CA. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of our Services or these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent, but we may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. Notices to you may be made via either email, SMS, text or regular mail.

‍
TrueNorth and you acknowledge that TrueNorth’s Terms are concluded between TrueNorth and you only, and not with Apple, and that as between TrueNorth and Apple, TrueNorth, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Apple-Enabled Software and the content thereof.

You may not use the Apple-Enabled Software in any manner that is in violation of or inconsistent with the Usage Rules set forth for Apple-Enabled Software in, or otherwise is in conflict with, the App Store Terms.

‍
Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software.
‍
Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law. In the event of any failure of the Apple-Enabled Software to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Apple-Enabled Software to you, if any; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, or any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty, which will be TrueNorth’s sole responsibility, to the extent it cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.
‍
TrueNorth and you acknowledge that TrueNorth, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the Apple-Enabled Software or your possession and/or use of that Apple-Enabled Software, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Apple-Enabled Software fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

‍DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS

Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and TrueNorth, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), our Services, any advertising, or any other aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and TrueNorth are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. A neutral arbitrator will determine your rights, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
‍
‍Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
‍YOU AND TRUENORTH AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND TRUENORTH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

‍Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
‍TrueNorth is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by getting in touch with us at support@truenorth.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to TrueNorth should be sent to 548 Market St PMB 70570, San Francisco CA 94104-5401, with a copy emailed to legal@truenorth.com (collectively, the “Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If TrueNorth and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or TrueNorth may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by TrueNorth or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or TrueNorth is entitled.

‍Arbitration Procedures
‍Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, https://www.adr.org/. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless TrueNorth and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, TrueNorth agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

‍Cost of Arbitration
‍Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are an “indigent consumer,” as defined by section 1284.3 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, TrueNorth will pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, TrueNorth will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The AAA Rules will govern any payment of attorneys’ fees. If it is determined that your dispute or claim was frivolously filed, you shall be responsible for your share of the Arbitration Fees.

‍Confidentiality
‍All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
‍
‍Severability
‍If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

‍Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, TrueNorth agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of our Services, you may reject any such change by sending TrueNorth written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
