BETWEEN
You
AND
FREIGHTTENDER4.COM
('FREIGHTTENDER4')

SITE FUNCTION: KEY POINT SUMMARY:
The key point summary is provided as a general generic guide and does not form part of this agreement and is not a substitute for reading the agreement (which contains the full terms).
You can vary some of these provisions by stating otherwise in your tender or bid.
Usually:
- A tender is an invitation for hauliers to make a bid (offer).
- Tenderers and bidders may communicate directly, or via this Site.
- Unless a bid is accepted, communications between a tenderer and a bidder are negotiations.
- No tendering party is obliged to accept any bid at all.
- Tenders may be withdrawn at any time prior to accepting a bid.
- Bids are offers. Bids may be withdrawn at any time prior to any bid acceptance.
- A tenderer may accept a bid (offer), and if so accepted the terms of the bid (offer) prevail.
- If the terms of the bid (offer) and the terms of the tender differ, the terms of the bid (offer) if accepted form the contract.
- Proper acceptance by a tenderer of a bid binds the haulier and tenderer concerned to the terms of the bid (offer).
- We publish tenders and facilitate communications, for which we may charge a fee.
- We do not act as advisor, agent, auctioneer or arbitrator for any tenderer or bidder.
- We do not receive any commissions. We do not prefer any tenderer or haulier over another.
- We are not a party to any tenderer-bidder negotiations, communications or agreements.
SITE OBJECTIVES & INTERPRETATION:
The key-point summary is a guide, and does not form part of this Agreement.
The Agreement should be read for the detailed terms.
We both agree the interpretation of this Agreement is to be determined by construing the Agreement according to its natural and ordinary meaning on the basis we both agree the nature and object of this Agreement is only to enable the Site to act as an electronic means whereby freight senders and hauliers may communicate each with the other in respect of proposed consignments, and if so minded, enter into negotiations and agreements each with the other, such that the Site is not intended to be and is not in anyway a party thereto, but is merely a publication of tenders. By analogy, this Site is like the 'Tenders' section of a newspaper, where subsequent to publication of tenders, interested parties may then communicate directly each with the other, but where the newspaper, at the option of the tenderer or bidder, may also act as a 'post office' conduit to facilitate an exchange of communications.
We each agree with the other this Agreement is designed to facilitate the site objective just stated. You may join the Site at your option and of your own free will. In any case of ambiguity no provision may be construed contra proferentem.
IN CONSIDERATION of your application to join being accepted and/or your use of this site ('Site') YOU HEREBY AGREE:
Your access to and use of the Site is subject to these
terms, the Privacy Statement and the Site Copyright and Trade Mark Notice

If you do not agree with such changes, you must terminate your membership of this Site. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in physical (non electronic) writing signed by you and us. This Agreement is effective on the earlier of your registration (joining) date or first date of use, or the first date we can ascertain you used the site; and is deemed confirmed by you each time you access your designated home page, which contains a link to this Agreement.

3 Third Party Content, Interaction and Agreements
3.1 Any of the products and services offered and much of the
information provided via the Site are the products, services and information of
third parties. In particular, all tenders and bids (save for example files) are third party products.
3.2 The third party products, services and information, tenders and bids, and messaging content are not provided or endorsed by us. Where it is apparent that products, services
and information are not provided by us, your legal relationship in respect of
those products, services and that information is with the third party supplier.
In particular, we are not the agent for nor represent in any way any tendering
party, or any party responding to any tender (who both are included in the
definition of 'third parties').
3.3 We have not checked the accuracy or completeness of the
information or the suitability or quality of the products, services and information, tenders and bids, and messaging content of the third parties. You must make your own enquiries with the relevant third party supplier direct before relying on the third party information or entering into
a transaction in relation to the third party products and services supplied via
the Site. You should check with the third party supplier whether there are
additional charges and terms that may apply. In particular, if you are a
tenderer, you are advised to ensure you understand the respondent's (bidder's) terms and
conditions (and understand accepting a bid probably means, subject to the wording of your tender and/or the bid, you are bound by the terms of the bid, even if inconsistent with your tender); and if you are a bidder, you are advised to ensure you understand the tenderer's terms and conditions. Tenderers and bidders are advised to take professional advice as appropriate before entering into contractual arrangements.
3.4 Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and do not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established a user-initiated feedback system to help you evaluate the user you are dealing with. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools available on our Site.
3.5.1 Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, if a tenderer, your interactions with bidders, and if a bidder your interaction with tenderers, and/or legal entities and individuals found on or through the Site, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and the other party or parties. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these parties.
3.5.2
Subject to the Act, and without limiting the generality of any other provision, you agree that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings. If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, or tenderer and bidder, you understand and agree that we are under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other site users, and, inter alia, because we are not involved in the actual transaction, you hereby release us (and our officers, directors, agents, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, employees and successors in right) from claims, demands and damages (actual, special, direct, indirect and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and / or our service.
3.6 We may receive fees from third parties for goods and
services of such third parties displayed or made available on the Site or
accessible through a hyperlink on the Site. You acknowledge and consent to us
receiving the fees.
3.7 We are not an "auctioneer". Instead, our Site acts as a venue to allow members to tender and bid for transport and related services in a variety of formats. We are not involved in the actual transaction between the parties. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the tenders and bids or content posted by users on the Site, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of tenderers to pay for services or the ability of bidders to provide services. We cannot ensure and do not guarantee that a tenderer or bidder will actually complete any agreement or transaction or act lawfully in using our Site.
3.8 Terms as to tenders and bids by members in respect of each other
As the context admits, you agree:
(a) a tender is an invitation to treat;
(b) a bid constitutes an offer, however an offer may be made in any other legally recognised manner;
(c) a bid is deemed communicated to the tenderer when appearing on the tenderer's named home page, however the bid may be communicated in any other legally recognised manner;
(d) a bid is deemed revoked if it should cease to appear on the tenderer's named home page as a result of the bidder using the Site mechanism to withdraw the bid, even if that mechanism fails or if the tenderer does not become aware of that revocation, however the bid may be revoked in any other legally recognised manner;
(e) any other communication between the tenderer and bidder via this Site is deemed received at the time such communication appears on the named home page of the intended recipient, and not at the time such communication was 'posted' to the Site by the sender or comes to the intended recipient's mind;
(f) given the unique and relatively new untested nature of the internet, internet sites, and electronic communications and the fact tenderers and bidders are distributed widely and even globally it is a fundamental and essential term of this Agreement (but / for which on a commercial basis we would not enter into this Agreement or allow your use of this Site):
(i) any legally recognised "postal rule" usually applied in contract law as to the formation of a contract, offer and acceptance relating to communications using physical mail (as opposed to electronic mail) and any excludable statutory provisions concerning physical and digital communications;
(ii) any legally recognised rule that a communication generally or a revocation specifically must come to the mind of the person to whom it is intended, and any excludable statutory provisions concerning such rule,
shall not apply to the extent of inconsistency with the provisions of this clause;
(g) the provisions of sub-clauses (a) to (e) inclusive may be varied by virtue of any communications between the tendering party and bidder, and any conduct by the tendering party or the bidder in respect of the other, if such communications and / or conduct give rise to legally enforceable obligations between the tendering party and the bidder;
(h) the provisions of sub-clause (f) may only be varied by express statements in writing between the tendering party and the bidder.
4 Messaging Services
4.1 We may provide messaging services via the Site.
4.2 We may create and vary general procedures and limits
concerning use of the messaging services, including without limitation the
maximum size of any message that may be sent from or received by a messaging
service, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on the Site messaging
servers on your behalf, the maximum amount of data or messages that may be sent
from or received by a messaging service account and the maximum number of days
that messages will be stored on the Site messaging servers.
4.3 We may delete and not deliver a message sent by you if the attachment size exceeds our regulation.

to access the this Site and the messaging services, and for the consequences of
any filtering or other application you choose to apply to the site and/or
messaging service.

the Site.
5 Security
5.1 For security reasons we may require you to
re-authenticate yourself from time to time, for example after a period of
inactivity on the connection between your browser and the Site servers. In
addition to the types of loss set out in clauses 5.4 and 5.5 and elsewhere for which we are
not responsible, we are not responsible for any information you may lose if the
Site servers terminate your browser session due to prolonged periods of
inactivity between your browser and the Site servers.
5.2 You must comply with all directions issued by the Site
relating to use of the Site. We are not responsible for providing the computer,
hardware, software nor any other equipment necessary to access the Internet.
You must not send or disclose any part of your details to access and use the
Site that is meant to be confidential ("Confidential Component") (for
example, the password component) to any other person or store it in a manner
that would reasonably allow another person or entity to obtain access to it,
except as specified in clause 5.3 below. If you choose to use a workplace email
address and/or computer or device to access the Site, you are responsible for
ensuring that such use complies with any rules, policies or protocols which
apply to the use of the Internet in your workplace.
5.3 You must not keep the Confidential Component in a
location where it is capable of being copied or used by any other person or
disclose the Confidential Component to any other person, other than:
(a) another person authorised by you to access and use the
Site on your behalf; or
(b) another person authorised by the Authorising Person (for
example, another employee) to access and use the Site on their behalf,
in each case provided that the other person
("Authorised Person") agrees to be bound by the Terms of Use.
5.4 We are entitled to rely on your registered details
and/or the Confidential Component as evidence of your identity and authority
for the purposes of the Site (including, for example, for the purpose of making
payments to us using your Pay Pal, credit card details, and for the purpose of
nominating email addresses or phone numbers to which we may send billing and
payment or other information relating to your use of the Site). You are
responsible for all use of the Site. We cannot and do not verify that each
person who accesses the Site is in fact the person they say they are, or acts
with the authority of the person whose identity they use.
5.5 You must immediately notify us if you become aware:
(a) that the Confidential Component has been compromised or
is known by a third party (other than by an Authorised Person); or
(b) of any unauthorised use of your details.
In the event that you notify us of either of these things,
we will take reasonable steps to deactivate offending use and issue you with
new access details within a reasonable time of being so notified. Notice
provided by you under this clause does not release you from your
responsibilities under the Terms of Use.
5.6 We will take reasonable steps to secure the Site and the
systems in our control that are used to access the Site. However, the Internet
is sometimes unreliable and is a difficult medium to secure. We do not
guarantee the security of the Site or the systems (including the Internet and
your hardware and software) used to access the Site, or any information that
passes through such systems.
6 Our liability to you
6.1 Given the nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee
that the Site will always be available or fault or virus free.
6.2 The terms that apply to the supply of the Site are those
that are expressly set out in this document and the Act and those implied by consumer
protection laws to the supply of this service, in the case of the Act and the laws that are unable to be excluded.
No other terms apply.
6.3 Subject to clauses 6.4 to 6.7, we accept our liability
to you for breach of contract or negligence under principles applied by the
courts.
6.4 Subject to any other provision of this Agreement we are not responsible for:
(a) loss caused by factors that could reasonably be
considered to be outside our control such as faults in third party equipment;
(b) loss of data or loss of profits or revenue; and
(c) any loss to the extent that it is caused by you, for
example, through your negligence or breach of contract.
6.5 We do not accept liability for losses that result from
the use of the messaging services in connection with the conduct of a business.
However, we will accept that liability if it cannot be excluded under legislation.
6.6 You must take reasonable steps to minimise the extent of
the loss you may suffer as a result of the Site. For example, you should take
reasonable steps to ensure that you will not suffer loss if the messaging
service is not always available.
6.7 You must notify us in writing of your loss as soon as is
reasonably possible.
7 Your liability to us
7.1 Subject to clause 7.2, you are liable to us for breach
of contract or negligence under the principles applied by the courts.

you are one of this class), and the change is not of a type described under
clause 8.3, we will give you at least 30 days' prior notice of the change.
8.5 If the change is not of a type described in clause 8.2,
8.3 or 8.4, we will give you at least 14 days' prior notice of the change.

to the Site to you is illegal or may become illegal;
