If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, and all references to "you", "User" or "Customer" refer to your company.

This Agreement permits Customer to (i) purchase subscriptions to online software-as-a-service products including but not limited to ShipperFMS and its mobile application, Digital Freight Network, CarrierTMS and its mobile application, and the Driver application ("Subscription Services"), and other services from us pursuant to any ordering documents, online registration, order descriptions, or order confirmations referencing this Agreement ("Order Forms" or "Purchase Order(s)"), and sets forth the basic terms and conditions under which those products and services will be delivered; and (ii) if applicable, all other implementation services, customization, integration, data import and export, monitoring, technical support, maintenance, training, backup and recovery, and change management ("Professional Services" and, together with the Subscription Services, the "Services") related to Customer's access to, and use of, such Subscription Services, as further set forth on each statement of services ("Statement of Work" or "SOW") issued hereunder. This Agreement will govern Customer's initial purchase on the Effective Date as well as any future purchases made by Customer that reference this Agreement.

The "Effective Date" of this Agreement is the earlier of (a) Customer's initial access to any Service (as defined below) through any online provisioning, registration on the web software or mobile application, or order process, or (b) the effective date of the Purchase Order or SOW referencing this Agreement.

Modifications to this Agreement: From time to time, we may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by us, changes become effective for Customer upon renewal of Customer's current Subscription Term (as defined below) or entry into a new Purchase Order or SOW. We will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of the changes through communications via Customer's account, email, or other means. Customer may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to the modified Agreement before renewing a Subscription Term or entering into a new Purchase Order or SOW, and in any event continued use of the Services after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect will constitute Customer's acceptance of that updated version. If we specify that changes to the Agreement will take effect prior to Customer's next renewal or order (such as for legal compliance or product change reasons) and Customer objects to such changes, Customer may terminate the applicable Subscription Term and receive, as its sole remedy, a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of the applicable Services for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term.

4. Haulog Platform Services

4.1 General

Haulog, as a technology platform, brings together shippers and carriers for the transportation of shipments to, from, and between points within India, enabling shippers to post details of desired and requested shipping and transportation needs, carriers to accept such requests, and both parties to book and manage the resulting shipments. Haulog is not a shipper or carrier. "User" means any user of the Haulog Service, which may be a carrier or a shipper, but may not be a freight forwarder (unless, as a broker or freight forwarder, the user represents a shipper when initiating a shipment request pursuant to the Haulog Service, in which case the broker or freight forwarder will be deemed a "Shipper" for purposes of this Agreement). To the extent that you are a carrier, the provisions in this Agreement designated for "Carriers" apply to you. To the extent that you are a shipper, the provisions designated for "Shippers" apply to you. To the extent that you are a user, the provisions designated for "Users" apply to you.

All shipments originating in, or transported between points in, India (collectively, "India Origin Shipments") are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 (Shipper Terms), Section 4.4 (Carrier Terms), Section 4.7 (Freight Loss or Damage), and any other provisions that specifically indicate that they apply to India Origin Shipments.

4.2 Shipment Posting, Acceptance, and Completion Process

4.2.1 Initiating the Shipment

The Shipper initiates requests for the transportation of a Shipment by posting certain details about the Shipment on the Site or Mobile App. The Shipper must post the origin and destination addresses, the requested dates and times of the Shipment, a description of the commodities to be shipped (including weight), and any specific or special transportation instructions for the Carrier (e.g., temperature settings, load security), and selects the type of freight service (trailer, truck, rail booking, air booking) needed. For India Origin Shipments, if the Shipper wishes the Carrier to be liable for the full actual value of the Shipment in the case of loss or damage, rather than the value calculated in accordance with Section 4.7 (Freight Loss or Damage) below, it must also declare the value of the Shipment. Once the Shipper receives a price, it may request transportation at that price, subject to the Carrier (added to the Haulog Carrier Network by the Shipper) being willing to transport that Shipment at that price. It does so by clicking "Finalize." Haulog notifies the Carrier that its Shipment has been "Finalized," and the Carrier must provide further details on the Shipment. At any time after booking, Haulog sends an electronic request for transport to Carriers registered with Haulog Carrier, furnishing information about the Shipment and the price the Shipper finalized with the Carrier. A Carrier receiving electronic notice of the Shipment from Haulog may, but is not required to, accept it. The Carrier may cancel a Shipment at any time prior to "converting the order" but shall incur a penalty as per the SLA terms. The Carrier that accepts a booked Shipment is assigned that Shipment, and thereafter that Carrier and Shipper are legally bound, and the Shipment is no longer available for other Carriers to accept. The Shipper may cancel a Shipment at any time prior to its acceptance but shall incur a penalty. If the Shipper cancels a Shipment after it has been accepted, the Shipper shall be responsible for payment in full of the transportation price. These and other cancellation provisions (and associated penalties) are set forth in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) digitally signed between the Shipper and Carrier. Haulog is not responsible for the accuracy of any Shipment description or the terms of its transportation. If no Carrier accepts a booked Shipment, Haulog will notify the Shipper and may suggest changing the dates of the Shipment or may continue searching for Carriers, on marketplaces other than those registered on the Haulog Carrier Network, that are willing and able to handle the Shipment.

4.2.2 Completing the Shipment

The Shipper must issue and provide the Carrier with a numbered E-Way Bill and Vehicle Receipt ("Lorry Receipt") for each Shipment. This can be done by completing the electronic Vehicle Receipt form and E-Way Bill form provided by functions on Haulog's software products, or by uploading its own form of E-Way Bill. The Vehicle Receipt must contain, at a minimum, the names and addresses of the Carrier and Shipper, the origin and destination addresses, the requested pickup and delivery dates and times, a description of the commodities to be shipped (including weight), and any other relevant terms and conditions. For all India Origin Shipments, the E-Way Bill and Vehicle Receipt must also include a box where the Shipper can declare a value for the Shipment. However, the Shipper must declare a value in this box only if such value was already declared at the time of booking. If a vehicle receipt number (LR Number) was not issued or was improperly issued, a Vehicle Receipt shall be deemed to have been issued in the form required by the applicable law in the jurisdiction of origin of the Shipment. Haulog does not issue Vehicle Receipts or E-Way Bills. Haulog is not responsible for the accuracy or legal enforceability of the E-Way Bill and Vehicle Receipt form used, or of the information inserted therein, and expressly disclaims any such responsibility or liability for the E-Way Bill and Vehicle Receipt the parties execute, whether generated on Haulog systems or otherwise. The Carrier must direct any questions or concerns regarding the E-Way Bill and Vehicle Receipt to the Shipper. Once the Carrier completes delivery of the Shipment, the Carrier shall promptly upload to Haulog Carrier a proof of delivery signed by the authorized recipient ("Proof of Delivery"), including by signing the Vehicle Receipt on the Driver's Mobile App or verifying it through OTP verification (as soon as this feature becomes available).

4.2.3 Fleet Management, Internal Shipment Manager, Analytics, and Other Features

Haulog may provide certain ancillary features to Shippers and Carriers ("Ancillary Features"). These Ancillary Features may include vehicle and driver management, asset tracking, an internal shipment manager, and analytics, among others. You agree to use the Ancillary Features at your own risk, and Haulog makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of any content or these products. Haulog will have no liability for any damage or loss resulting from your use of the content or these products.

Haulog is not responsible for any loss, damage, or expense arising from or related to this tracking service.

4.5 Electronic Receipts

As indicated in Section 4 (Haulog Platform Services), Shippers and Carriers may generate a Vehicle Receipt document and number using Haulog's software in lieu of preparing a paper document of their own. They may also upload their own lorry receipts. They may elect to collect signatures electronically for pick-up and delivery of loads. Haulog is not responsible for either the accuracy of the Vehicle Receipt form used or the legal enforceability of the document, whether the paper version or the electronic version. Shippers and Carriers are cautioned to use this electronic functionality carefully and to read the Lorry Receipt terms and conditions carefully to better understand their rights and liabilities. For all India Origin Shipments, where a Vehicle Receipt was not issued or was improperly issued, a Vehicle Receipt shall be deemed to have been issued in the form required by the applicable law in the jurisdiction of origin of the Shipment.

Regardless of which form of Vehicle Receipt the parties use, if there are any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of that Vehicle Receipt and those of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

4.6 Freight Service Payments

4.6.1

All payments, fees, and prices stated above are inclusive of all fuel costs, charges, and surcharges. Carrier-free standby time at origin (from the time the truck arrives, if within the scheduled pickup time) and at every destination (from the time the truck checks in at the facility, if within the scheduled delivery time) will apply as per the Service Level Agreement between the Shipper and Carrier. The Shipper will incur detention charges in the case of an extension in loading and unloading time. The Carrier shall bill the Shipper directly for such detention charges. The Carrier may change pricing for the freight service from time to time at its sole discretion by updating the Site and Mobile App, without additional notice to the Shipper or Haulog, except with respect to booked, accepted, or contracted Shipments.

4.6.2

The Carrier will bill the Shipper, and the Shipper shall pay the Carrier directly, for all extra charges owed to the Carrier at the time of completion of the Shipment that were not accounted for and included in the Shipment fee at the time of booking (e.g., cancellation fees, lumper charges, loading/unloading fees, detention charges, layover fees, rerouting charges, etc.). The Shipper shall pay, and the Carrier shall collect, these extra charges from the Shipper in the manner provided in Section 4.6 of this Agreement, and the Carrier shall inform the Shipper of the occurrence and amount of such extra charges as soon as they are incurred or as soon as reasonably foreseeable.

4.6.3

Shipment fees are non-refundable. Shippers using the Haulog Service agree to pay for any Shipments booked through the Haulog Service and not to circumvent payments for scheduled or completed Shipments in any way. The Shipper agrees to pay the Carrier a penalty (plus the agreed price per km applicable) per Shipment if the Shipper cancels the Shipment after the Carrier has dispatched its truck to make the pickup. In addition to detention charges, the Shipper agrees to pay the Carrier a layover fee if the Carrier is unable to pick up or deliver at the originally scheduled time because of some fault of the Shipper — such as the Shipper's failure or inability to accommodate the Carrier's truck at its dock at the scheduled pickup or delivery date and time, or the Shipper's unilateral change in the scheduled pickup or delivery date and/or time — and, as a result, the Carrier's truck and driver are forced to lay over and pick up or deliver the following workday. Users agree that they are responsible for the collection and/or payment of all Taxes for which they are liable in any jurisdiction arising from their use of the Haulog Service. Haulog is not responsible for collecting, reporting, paying, or remitting any such Taxes on behalf of the User. "Taxes" includes any applicable duties, sales or use taxes, GST, and other taxes that may be levied in connection with a transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

4.6.4 Carrier Remittance

For each Shipment, the Shipper will pay the Carrier the price listed when the Carrier accepted the Shipment ("Carrier Fee"). The Carrier is entitled to its Carrier Fee only after the completion of the Shipment, and the payment order to the Carrier will be put in place within 15/30/45/60/90 calendar days after the Carrier submits the Proof of Delivery in accordance with this Agreement (it may take up to 5 business days for the Carrier to receive the money due to third-party payment processing). If the Shipper raises a query in Haulog ShipperFMS electronically, prior to payment of the Carrier Fee to the Carrier, that the Shipper is in a dispute with the Carrier over a delay in delivery, or loss, damage, or shortage to the Shipment — supported by a notation on the Proof of Delivery or delivery receipt uploaded to the Haulog Carrier Service — the Shipper has the right to hold the Carrier Fee until the dispute is resolved. After the resolution of such a query, the Shipper will pay the Carrier Fee immediately after either it receives electronic instruction to do so or the sixty (60)-day dispute resolution period has expired without such instruction, whichever occurs first.

4.7 Freight Loss or Damage

4.7.1 Carrier Freight Loss or Damage

The Carrier agrees to assume full liability for the prompt, safe transportation of all Shipments under this Agreement, including compliance with applicable temperature requirements. The Carrier agrees to be responsible for all loss, damage, delay, destruction, theft, or liability of whatever nature arising from the transportation services, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Carriage by Road Act, 2007. The Carrier's liability to the Shipper and to any involved consignor or consignee shall be the full invoice value of the goods transported, without limitation. The Carrier shall not be liable for incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from or related to loss, damage, or delay of any Shipment or its cargo. Signatures on lorry receipts, E-Way Bills, or Vehicle Receipts issued by the Carrier shall not constitute the Shipper's written acceptance of the Carrier's liability limitations or other changes in these terms and conditions, whether appearing in the Carrier's Vehicle Receipt, tariffs, or website. The Carrier expressly waives all rights and remedies that conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

4.7.2 Cargo Loading, Unloading, and Securement

The Shipper is solely responsible for loading, unloading, and securing cargo it transports under this Agreement, unless the Shipper expressly requires the Carrier to do so and indicated accordingly when it booked the Shipment, and the Shipper pays the Carrier the corresponding costs and fees, if any.

4.7.3 Cargo Claims Filing

In the event of loss, damage, or delay, the Shipper shall file a claim directly with the Carrier — and not with Haulog — within nine (9) months of delivery, and the Carrier shall settle or otherwise dispose of such claim, granting or denying the claim in whole or in part, within sixty (60) days of receipt of the claim. The Shipper must commence any lawsuit arising from such claim within eighteen (18) months from the disallowance or denial of all or any part of such claim. The Carrier shall not dispose of damaged or rejected product without the prior written consent of the Shipper.

5. User Content

5.1 User Content

"User Content" means all information, data, and other content that a User submits to, or uses with, the Haulog Service. User Content includes the information provided in a Shipment request or acceptance. Each User is solely responsible for their User Content. The User assumes all risks associated with the use of their User Content, including any reliance by others on its accuracy, completeness, or usefulness, or any disclosure of their own User Content that makes them or any third party personally identifiable. Each User hereby represents and warrants that their User Content does not violate the Acceptable Use Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, User Content may include third-party content that the User submits. The User agrees not to submit third-party content unless they have the consent of the applicable third-party owner of such content. The User may not state or imply that their User Content is in any way provided, sponsored, or endorsed by Haulog. Because each User alone is responsible for their User Content (and not Haulog), the User may be exposed to liability if, for example, their User Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy.

(a) In General. The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, content, and legality of all Customer Data. The Customer represents and warrants to us that the Customer has all necessary rights, consents, and permissions to collect, share, and use all Customer Data as contemplated in this Agreement (including granting us the rights in Section 6.1 (Rights in Customer Data)) and that no Customer Data will violate or infringe (i) any third-party intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other rights, (ii) any Laws, or (iii) any terms of service, privacy policies, or other agreements governing the Customer properties or the Customer's accounts with any Third-Party Platforms.

(b) Personal Data and Consent. The Customer specifically agrees not to use the Services to collect, store, process, or transmit any Sensitive Personal Information. The Customer acknowledges that we are not a payment card processor. We will have no liability under this Agreement for Sensitive Personal Information, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein. Where the Customer provides or makes available Personal Information of any data principal through the Services, the Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained all consents and provided all notices required under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000, and that it will act as the "Data Fiduciary" in respect of such Personal Information, with Haulog acting as a "Data Processor" processing such Personal Information solely on the Customer's documented instructions.

(c) Compliance with Laws. The Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws in its use of the Services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Customer will not engage in any unsolicited advertising, marketing, or other activities using the Services, including, without limitation, any activities that violate any anti-spam laws and regulations.

The Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any claim arising from or relating to any Customer Data or any breach or alleged breach by the Customer of Section 6.3 (Customer Obligations). This indemnification obligation is subject to us receiving (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for the Customer to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claim; and (iii) all necessary cooperation from us at the Customer's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) we may participate in the defense of any claim by counsel of our choosing, at our cost and expense, and (b) the Customer will not settle any claim without our prior written consent, unless the settlement fully and unconditionally releases us and does not require us to pay any amount, take any action, or admit any liability.

6.5 Aggregated Anonymous Data

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Customer agrees that we may obtain and aggregate technical and other data about the Customer's use of the Services that is non-personally identifiable with respect to the Customer ("Aggregated Anonymous Data"), and we may use the Aggregated Anonymous Data to analyze, improve, support, and operate the Services and otherwise for any business purpose during and after the term of this Agreement — including, without limitation, to generate industry benchmark or best-practice guidance, recommendations, or similar reports for distribution to and consumption by the Customer and other customers of ours. For clarity, this Section 6.5 does not give us the right to identify the Customer as the source of any Aggregated Anonymous Data.

7. Data Privacy & Security

We agree to use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to, or use, alteration, or disclosure of, any Service or Customer Data. However, we will not be responsible for errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access, or other causes beyond our control.

The Customer's use of and access to the Services, as well as Haulog's handling of Customer Data, will be subject to and governed by Haulog's Privacy Policy, which can be found on our website and is incorporated herein by reference.

8. Subscription Term, Fees & Payment

8.1 Subscription Term and Renewals

Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Order Form, each Subscription Term will automatically renew for additional twelve-month periods unless either party gives the other written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term.

8.2 Fees and Payment

All fees are as set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW and will be paid by the Customer within thirty (30) days of the invoice, unless (a) the Customer is paying via Credit Card (as defined below) or (b) otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form or SOW. Except as expressly set forth in Section 12 (Limited Warranty) and Section 14 (Indemnification), all fees are non-refundable and are based on Services purchased rather than actual usage. The rates in the Order Form or SOW are valid for the initial twelve (12)-month period of each Subscription Term and thereafter may be subject to an automatic annual adjustment. The Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, and all Taxes are excluded from any fees set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW. If the Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payment, the fees payable by the Customer will be increased as necessary so that, after making any required withholdings, we receive and retain (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount we would have received had no such withholdings been made. Any late payments will be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due, or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

8.3 Payment Via Credit Card

If you are purchasing the Services via credit card, debit card, or another payment card ("Credit Card"), the following terms apply:

  • Recurring Billing Authorization. By providing credit card information and agreeing to purchase any Services, the Customer hereby authorizes us (or our designee) to automatically charge the Customer's credit card in accordance with the applicable Order Form or SOW.
  • Foreign Transaction Fees. The Customer acknowledges that, for certain credit cards, the issuer of the Customer's credit card may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.
  • Invalid Payment. If a payment is not successfully settled due to the expiration of a credit card, insufficient funds, or otherwise, the Customer remains responsible for any amounts not remitted to us, and we may, in our sole discretion, either (i) invoice the Customer directly for the deficient amount, (ii) continue billing the credit card once it has been updated by the Customer (if applicable), or (iii) terminate this Agreement.
  • Changing Credit Card Information. At any time, the Customer may change its credit card information by communicating with one of our representatives.
  • Termination of Recurring Billing. In addition to any termination rights set forth in this Agreement, the Customer may terminate the Subscription Term by sending us notice of non-renewal in accordance with Section 8.1 (Subscription Term and Renewals).

8.4 Suspension of Service

If the Customer's account is thirty (30) days or more overdue, we reserve the right to suspend its access to the applicable Service (and any related services) without liability until the overdue amounts are paid in full. This is in addition to any other rights or remedies, including but not limited to the termination rights set forth herein.

8.5 Data Maintenance and Backup Procedures

The Subscription Services are not intended to serve as a data warehouse or backup solution. In the event of any loss or corruption of Customer Data, Haulog will make commercially reasonable efforts to restore the lost or corrupted Customer Data from the latest backup of such Customer Data maintained by Haulog. The Customer acknowledges that full restoration of Customer Data may not be possible under all circumstances, and Haulog shall have no liability to the Customer in such a case.

8.6 Illegal and Unauthorized Use of Subscription Services

Haulog may suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Subscription Services by written notice if (i) Haulog determines, based on reasonable evidence, that the Subscription Services are being used for fraudulent or criminal activities, or in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or this Agreement, or (ii) a governmental, legal, or other law enforcement authority requires or instructs Haulog to terminate or suspend the Subscription Services to the Customer. The Customer is solely responsible for any fraudulent use, misuse, or illegal activity conducted in or on the Subscription Services by its authorized users.

10. Confidentiality

In connection with this Agreement, a party (the "Disclosing Party") may disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party (the "Receiving Party"). During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after its expiration or termination, the Receiving Party will not use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information for any purpose other than exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except to the Receiving Party's employees, contractors, and Affiliates that have a reasonable need to know such information in connection with this Agreement, provided that any such third parties are legally bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as those outlined hereunder. The Receiving Party shall ensure that the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees, contractors, or Affiliates in violation of the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party will treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

The foregoing confidentiality restrictions shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party is able to demonstrate by documentary evidence: (i) is or becomes available in the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's possession prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information; or (iv) is lawfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party having a right of further disclosure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by any governmental agency or judicial process, provided that, before providing such Confidential Information, the Receiving Party must give (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the Disclosing Party sufficient advance notice of the disclosure to enable the Disclosing Party to exercise any rights it may have to challenge or limit the disclosure of such Confidential Information.

Upon written request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall: (i) cease using the Confidential Information; (ii) return the Confidential Information and all copies, notes, or extracts thereof to the Disclosing Party within seven (7) business days of receipt of the request; and (iii) confirm in writing that the Receiving Party has complied with the obligations set forth in this paragraph.

11. Copyright Policy

Haulog respects the intellectual property of others and asks all users of the Haulog Service to do the same. In connection with the Haulog Service, Haulog has adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users that are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you, as a user, believe that another of Haulog's users is unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work through the use of the Haulog Service and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information, in the form of a written notification, must be provided to Haulog's designated agent:

(1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work(s) you claim have been infringed; (3) identification of the material on Haulog's Service you claim is infringing and request to be removed; (4) sufficient information to permit Haulog to locate such material; (5) your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; (6) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the 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 you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

12. Limited Warranty

12.1 Limited Warranty

We warrant, for the benefit of the Customer only, that each Service will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. Our sole liability (and the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty will be, at no charge to the Customer, for us to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the reported non-conformity. If we determine such a remedy to be impracticable, either party may terminate the applicable Subscription Term, and the Customer will receive, as its sole remedy, a refund of any fees that the Customer has pre-paid for the use of such Service for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 12.1 will not apply: (i) unless the Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Customer first noticed the non-conformity; (ii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications, or third-party hardware, software, or services; or (iii) to use provided on a no-charge, trial, or evaluation basis.

12.2 Warranty Disclaimer

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE RESULTS OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS SENT, OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS THAT FAILED TO BE SENT, USING THE SERVICES. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES, OR OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS, OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. THE CUSTOMER MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS, BUT THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW.

13. Limitation of Remedies and Damages

13.1 Consequential Damages Waiver

EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS (DEFINED BELOW), NEITHER PARTY (NOR ITS SUPPLIERS) SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

13.2 Liability Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Haulog's aggregate liability to the Customer in connection with this Agreement for any and all claims, losses, costs, or damages of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees, exceed the total fees paid by the Customer under the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work in the twelve (12)-month period preceding the incident giving rise to the applicable claim or action, regardless of the form or theory of the claim or action.

IN NO EVENT SHALL HAULOG BE LIABLE TO THE USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USER'S USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE HAULOG SERVICE, EVEN IF HAULOG HAS BEEN ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, HAULOG'S LIABILITY TO THE USER FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE HAULOG SERVICE (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION) WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) ₹10,000 (TEN THOUSAND INDIAN RUPEES) OR (B) THE AGGREGATE OF THE AMOUNTS THE USER HAS PAID HAULOG IN THE PRIOR TWELVE (12) MONTHS (IF ANY). THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.

TO THE EXTENT ANY APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AS A USER, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

14. Indemnification

Haulog shall indemnify the Customer, its officers, directors, and employees from and against any liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, associated with any third party's claim to the extent and in the proportion arising from: (i) the infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights of a third party by the Customer's authorized use of a Deliverable or the Subscription Services; (ii) Haulog's violation of applicable law; or (iii) Haulog's material breach of this Agreement. Haulog's obligations under this Section 14 are contingent upon: (a) the Customer providing Haulog with prompt written notice of such claim; (b) the Customer providing reasonable cooperation to Haulog, at Haulog's expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim; and (c) Haulog having sole authority to defend or settle such claim. With respect to claims described in subsection (i) above, in the event that Haulog's ability to provide the Subscription Services, or the Customer's use of a Deliverable, is enjoined or, in Haulog's reasonable opinion, is likely to be enjoined, Haulog may obtain the right to continue providing the Subscription Services or to allow the Customer's use of the applicable Deliverable; replace or modify the Subscription Services or the applicable Deliverable so that they become non-infringing; or, if such remedies are not commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement without liability to the Customer and provide a pro-rated refund of any fees prepaid and unused upon such termination. The foregoing states the entire obligation of Haulog with respect to any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights by the Subscription Services or a Deliverable. Haulog shall have no liability or obligation under this Section 14 for any infringement claims caused in whole or in part by: (a) any instruction, information, design, or other materials furnished by the Customer to Haulog as part of the Services; (b) modification of the Subscription Services or a Deliverable by any party other than Haulog without Haulog's express written consent; or (c) the combination, operation, or use of the Subscription Services or a Deliverable with other products, data, or services, where the Subscription Services or the applicable Deliverable would not by itself be infringing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, Haulog shall have no obligation or liability under this Section 14 for any claims arising from the negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud of the Customer.

15. Dispute Resolution; General Terms

15.3 Amendment; Waiver

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized representative of each party. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

15.4 Modifications

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from time to time Haulog may modify this Agreement with respect to the Subscription Services and, unless otherwise specified by Haulog, the modifications will become effective upon the earliest of: (i) the Customer's access to or use of the Subscription Services subsequent to any modifications; (ii) the Customer's acceptance of the modified terms via click-through; or (iii) notice via email to the address designated in the applicable Order Form. For Order Forms effective prior to any modifications, the Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form within thirty (30) days from the modifications becoming effective and receive, as its sole remedy, a refund of any prepaid fees for the remainder of the Subscription Term.

15.5 Subcontracting

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Haulog from using the services of any subcontractor as it deems appropriate to perform its obligations under this Agreement, provided that Haulog shall require its subcontractors to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement in providing such services, and Haulog shall remain primarily liable to the Customer for the performance of such subcontractor.

15.6 Notices

Any notices provided by Haulog under this Agreement will be given to the address set forth in the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work. Notices and all other communications provided for herein shall be deemed to have been received: (i) when actually received, if delivered personally or by courier; or (ii) five (5) days following mailing if sent via registered post, postage prepaid, acknowledgement due. Notices provided to Haulog shall include a copy via email to [email protected].

15.7 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

15.8 Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of fees) on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include, without limitation, denial-of-service attacks, cyberattacks, strikes (except by its own employees), shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, floods, pandemics, epidemics, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, failure or diminishment of power, and failure of telecommunications or data networks (each a "Force Majeure Event").

15.9 Compliance with Laws

Each party agrees to comply with all applicable laws — including the Companies Act, 2013, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — and regulations with respect to its activities hereunder.

15.10 Relationship Between the Parties

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other's behalf without such other party's prior written consent.

15.11 Assignment; Successors

Neither party may assign or transfer an Order Form, a Statement of Work, or this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party's prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Haulog may freely assign or transfer this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets, or in connection with any merger or consolidation. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 15.11 will be null and void.

15.12 Equitable Relief

Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of any of the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 10, or the intellectual property rights set forth in Section 11, of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity.

15.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the signatories and is not intended to benefit any third party. Only the parties hereto may enforce this Agreement.

15.14 Order of Precedence

In the event of a conflict between the terms of an Order Form or Statement of Work and this Agreement, the Order Form or Statement of Work, as applicable, shall take precedence.

15.15 Electronic Communications

The communications between you and Haulog use electronic means, whether you use the Haulog Service or send Haulog emails, or whether Haulog posts notices on the Haulog Service or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you, as the User, (i) consent to receive communications from Haulog in electronic form; and (ii) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Haulog provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were in hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

You agree that, when permitted by law, the Company will not in any way be responsible for loss of profits, revenues, or data, financial losses, or indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages. In all cases, the Company will not be liable for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.

Haulog is not liable for any indirect, special, economic, or consequential loss — including but not limited to the costs of any alternative means of transport, loss of profits, loss of use, anticipated savings, goodwill, or loss of opportunity — or for loss or damage arising out of circumstances beyond the control of Haulog, such as (but not limited to) acts of God, armed hijacking, accidents, acts of public enemies, strikes, embargoes, civil commotions, national or local disruptions in air or ground transportation networks, mechanical problems affecting modes of transport or machinery, acts or omissions by the User, a third party, or a government official, criminal acts, and/or latent defects or inherent vice in the contents of the Shipment; or for fines, penalties, chargeback rates, or other financial sums levied against the User by any third party howsoever arising.

16. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work, constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will be considered one and the same agreement. No provision of any purchase order or other similar business form employed by the Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect with respect to the Services.
