6.10 Additional Terms for Smart Load Board
The following additional terms and conditions apply to your use of the Smart Load Board and all related Services:
6.10.1
KeepTruckin provides the Smart Load Board (“SLB”) so that carriers, brokers and shippers may offer to buy and sell freight services. KeepTruckin is not a freight broker and is not a party to the actual transactions facilitated by the SLB, and any terms and conditions of such transactions, including without limitation any pricing or payment terms, are solely among the users of the SLB. It is your responsibility, as a user of the SLB, to check the credentials of any party introduced to you by the SLB, including but not limited to information relating to safety ratings, proof of authority, credit history, necessary certifications and insurance coverage. Although we do our best to ensure that the information we make available through the SLB is as accurate and up-to-date as possible, we make no warranty or guarantee concerning its accuracy, completeness or suitability, and provide all information AS-IS. Use of the SLB is at your own risk.
6.10.2
In order to utilize the SLB, you represent and warrant to KeepTruckin that: (a) you are or represent a duly licensed and authorized freight broker, motor carrier, shipper, freight forwarder, third party logistics provider, or intermodal or rail company, as the case may be; (b) you will maintain all appropriate legal, governmental and regulatory authority necessary to engage in the transactions facilitated by the SLB to which you are a party, and specifically (i) you will not enter into a transaction to transport freight without the proper motor carrier authority and required licenses, equipment, certifications and insurance coverage, and (ii) you will not enter into a transaction to broker freight without the proper brokerage authority, licenses, certifications, insurance coverage and bond; (c) you will comply with all applicable laws when using the SLB and the Services, and you will use the SLB and the Services for lawful purposes only; and (d) you will not use the SLB and Services to advertise services for any third party entity or person. You further understand and agree that we reserve the right to restrict, in part or in full, access to the SLB and any of the Services if we learn that you are an entity, or are affiliated with an entity, that provides a service competitive to the SLB or our Services or if we believe you are attempting to create a competitive service.
7. Fees & Payment
7.1 Fees
Upon agreement to an Order Form by the parties, Customer will pay KeepTruckin the fees for the Services set forth in the Order Form on the payment schedule set forth in the Order Form.
All payments are due in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form or invoice. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to KeepTruckin and updating KeepTruckin of any changes. All fees paid are non-refundable unless otherwise set forth in these Terms and are not subject to set-off by Customer.

If the Customer requires the use of a purchase order or purchase order number, the Customer (a) must provide the purchase order number at the time of purchase and (b) agrees that any terms and conditions on a Customer purchase order will not apply to these Terms and are void.
If Customer is purchasing the Services from an authorized reseller, any terms and conditions between Customer and the authorized reseller that conflict with these Terms are void.

If Customer provides KeepTruckin with credit card information for payment, Customer acknowledges that an invoice may not be sent, and Customer authorizes KeepTruckin to charge the credit card for the Services listed in the Order Form on the payment schedule set forth in the Order Form for the Subscription Term and any renewal. Customer also agrees and acknowledges that KeepTruckin may charge Customer’s credit card for any required fees, including the Replacement Fees and Restoration Fees.

KEEPTRUCKIN MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY, RENEWALS, ADDITIONAL ORDERS, AND FEES) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM CUSTOMER UNTIL CUSTOMER PROVIDES PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY KEEPTRUCKIN) THAT CUSTOMER WILL TERMINATE THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISHES TO CHANGE THE PAYMENT METHOD.

If KeepTruckin has provided Hardware as part of a trial at no cost to Customer (the “Trial Hardware”), and Customer does not wish to continue its Services at the end of the trial, Customer must return the Trial Hardware within thirty (30) days of the end of the trial period. If Customer does not return the Trial Hardware within such timeframe, KeepTruckin may bill and invoice Customer Replacement Fees for such Trial Hardware, and Customer is responsible to pay KeepTruckin for such Replacement Fees. IF THE CUSTOMER IS IN A TRIAL PERIOD AND THE CUSTOMER HAS ALREADY PROVIDED A METHOD OF PAYMENT TO KEEPTRUCKIN FOR THE KEEPTRUCKIN SERVICES, KEEPTRUCKIN MAY CHARGE AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF THE TRIAL, UNLESS THE CUSTOMER NOTIFIES KEEPTRUCKIN THAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS TO CANCEL.
7.5 Discontinuation of Services
If Customer chooses to discontinue, cancel or terminate any Services for which Customer has agreed to in an Order Form before the end of the Subscription Term agreed to in such Order Form, KeepTruckin shall have the right to immediately invoice Customer or bill Customer’s authorized credit card for any balance due for the remainder of the Subscription Term, including any Replacement Fees and Restoration Fees.

In consideration of the covenants under these Terms, Customer, on behalf of itself and its End Users (“Releasors”) hereby irrevocably and forever waives, releases, and discharges KeepTruckin and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (“Releasees”) from any claims, suits, damages, losses, and liabilities of any kind that the Releasors had, now have, or may ever have against the Releasees in connection with disputes arising from, relating to, or in connection with an Other Party, during and after the Services Term. The Releasors have been made aware of and understand all rights they may have arising under California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any analogous state, federal, or international statute or principle) against KeepTruckin, which California Civil Code Section 1542 provides that:
