Koala provides a service that connects parcel, freight, cargo and specialty carrier businesses (“Carriers”) to entities who need to ship cargo (including any consignor, consignee, individual or other entity with an interest in parcel and cargo with respect to which transportation is arranged via the Service) (each, individually, a “Shipper” and collectively, “Shippers”) (collectively, with the Site, Mobile App and all services provided therein or otherwise provided byKoala, the “Service”). The Service may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, including, but not limited to, the Koala Shipper Accessorial Rates and the Koala Carrier Accessorial Rates provided on the Service (collectively, the “Accessorial Rates”), any Standard Operating Procedure documents (“SOP”s) and/or Work Orders put into place between Koala and Shippers or Carriers, and the Koala Privacy Policy. All such additional guidelines, terms or rules are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AS REVISED BY Koala IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION FROM TIME TO TIME (“AGREEMENT”) SET FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE COMPANY, ENTITY OR ORGANIZATION THAT YOU REPRESENT, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE COMPANY, ENTITY OR ORGANIZATION THAT YOU REPRESENT. YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE OR ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

1. SERVICE DESCRIPTION

1.1. General. Koala helps to connect Shippers and Carriers for the shipment of parcel, freight, cargo, and specialty items by providing a platform whereby Shippers can rate shop parcel carriers, book carriers, print labels, and track packages, or post freight and cargo details of desired shipment requests and Carriers can accept such shipment requests. “User” means any user of the Service, and may be a Carrier or a Shipper, or a representative of either. To the extent you are a Carrier, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Carriers apply to you. To the extent you are a Shipper, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Shippers apply to you. To the extent you are a User, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Users apply to you. For the avoidance of doubt, Koala provides the platform for posting and accepting Shipments and the billing service described in Section 5. Please carefully read the disclaimer in Section 11 for more information about your responsibilities. 1.2. Shipment Requests. Shipper may post a request for a shipment (“Shipment”) through the Service. Without limitation, Shipper will provide origin and destination addresses, the requested date and pickup time of the Shipment, a description of the items being shipped (including weight) and any other relevant information about the Shipment. Koala is not responsible for any Shipment terms. Once the Shipment is booked with the parcel carrier, or accepted for posting by Koala to the load board for view by freight and cargo carriers, the details of the Shipment are posted to the Service. For freight and cargo, after a certain period of time, the Shipment will be viewable to all Carriers according to the parameters set by the Shipper in their account, though Koala may from time to time, and in order to meet Shippers’ specific needs, release shipments to certain “Shipper approved” carriers before posting it to the Service. Shippers may cancel a Shipment at any time prior to it being accepted by a Carrier. Freight and cargo Carriers may view a list of the available Shipments in their immediate area at any time and accept a Shipment through the Service. When the Shipper accepts a Carrier bid, the Shipment will be assigned to Carrier who’s bid they accepted. Once accepted by a Carrier, Koala will notify the Shipper by email that the Shipment has been accepted. Shipper identity and contact information will then be revealed to the Carrier and more detailed Carrier information will be provided to Shipper. Each Shipper and Carrier is responsible for providing their own phones for use with the Service. Koala may also, from time to time as the circumstances require, connect Shippers and Carriers. Koala does not guarantee that a Shipment posting will be bid on by carriers nor that Carrier bids will be accepted by a Shipper. If a Shipment is not bid on by a Carrier or a bid accepted by a Shipper according to the parameter each has set for the auction, Koala will notify the Shipper and Carrier accordingly, or the listing will auto expire as part of the application parameter settings accordingly. 1.3. Completing the Shipment. Shipper must issue and provide the Carrier a bill of lading (“Bill of Lading”) for each cargo or freight Shipment. If Shipper shows Koala as the carrier or shipper, such designation shall be for the convenience of Shipper only. The Bill of Lading must contain, at minimum, the names and addresses of the Carrier and the Shipper, the origin and destination addresses, the requested pickup and delivery dates and times, description of the items being shipped (including weight) and other relevant terms and conditions. Once the Shipment has been completed, Carrier will promptly upload to the Service a proof of delivery signed by the authorized recipient (“Proof of Delivery”) and send the original to Koala via postal email. Shipper, not Koala, issues the Bill of Lading. Carrier will direct any questions or concerns regarding the Bill of Lading to the applicable Shipper. Routing instructions are for informational purposes only.

If you believe that one of our Users is, through the use of the Service, unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. – 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent: 1. your physical or electronic signature; 2. identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed; 3. identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove; 4. sufficient information to permit us to locate such material; 5. your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; 6. a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and 7. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C.-512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

15. GENERAL

15.1. These Terms of Service are periodically reviewed, modified and enhanced as necessary. Please revisit the Terms of Service periodically to stay aware of any changes thereto. If we modify the Terms of Service, we will make the relevant updates available through the Service. Koala will endeavor to notify you of these changes by email, but will not be liable for any failure to do so. Amendments will be effective upon Koala’s posting of such updated terms. Continued use of the Service following such posting shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions, as amended. If you do not understand any of the terms herein, or have questions or other issues related to your use of Koala, you may inquire regarding the same via email at support@shippromo.com. 15.2. Dispute Resolution. PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS (a) Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrarily of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and the Koala and our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, regarding or relating to these the Service or this Agreement, shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration. (b) Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS. As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s or JAMS’s rules for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the procedures for consumer-related disputes. You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. You and we must abide by the following rules: (1) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (2) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS – WIDE RELIEF, (3) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (4) we also reserve the right in our sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration;(5) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (6) the arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; (7) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (8) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees’ and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or we may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York County, New York for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate. (d) With the exception of subparts (1) and (2) in the paragraph 14.2(b) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Agreement, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subparts (1) and (2) in the paragraph 14.2(b) (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in New York County, New York. (e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if we seek to terminate the Dispute Resolution section as included in the Agreement, any such termination shall not be effective until 30 days after the version of the Agreement not containing the agreement to arbitrate is posted to the Site, and shall not be effective as to any claim of which you provided us with written notice prior to the date of termination. (f) For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org. For more information on JAMS, it’s Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call JAMS at 800-352-5267 or visit the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com. (g) Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and Koala and our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, regarding or relating to the Service or this Agreement, shall exclusively be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law rules and without regard to conflicts of laws principles except that the arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. 15.3. Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party. 15.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including but not limited to any applicable Accessorial Rates, SOP, and/or Work Order incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word including means including without limitation. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. 15.5. Independent Contractor. Your relationship to Koala is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent, employee or partner of the other. You assume complete responsibility for all state and federal taxes, assessments, insurance (including, but not limited to, workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, disability, pension and social security insurance) and any other financial obligations arising out of the transportation services rendered hereunder. You are not, nor will you be deemed to be, an agent, legal representative, joint venture, franchisor, franchisee, or legal partner of Koala for any purpose. You will not be entitled to enter into any contracts, make any representations or warranties in the name of, or accept any obligations whatsoever on behalf of Koala. 15.6. Assignment. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Koala’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon assignees. 15.7. Press. You hereby grant Koala permission to identify you as a customer of Koala or user of our Services and to reproduce your name and logo on the Site and in any other marketing materials. 15.8. Conflict. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the terms set forth in any Bill of Lading, Proof of Delivery or any other shipping form, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control over such terms. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Terms of Service and a separate Broker or Shipper Agreement which serves as the primary agreement for purposes of defining the transportation services to be provided by Broker, the terms of such separate agreement shall govern, but all non-conflicting terms herein shall apply. 15.9. Copyright/Trademark Information. Copyright © 2019, Koala LLC. All rights reserved.
