TruckerVerse partner programme terms

1. Who we are and who this is for

1. The partner programme is offered by XS AI BV, trading as TruckerVerse, Fabriekstraat 38, 2547 Lint, Belgium, company and VAT number BE 1039.724.489, [email protected] ("TruckerVerse" or "we").
2. The programme is only for businesses acting in the course of their trade with a company or VAT number ("the partner"). Consumers cannot order.
3. These terms apply to every order of a package. The partner's own general terms do not apply unless we agree to them in writing.

2. Packages

1. We offer four packages: Listed, Local, Story and Partner. What each package contains is set out on the offer page at the time of the order. That description forms part of the contract.
2. What the offer page marks as "later", such as a point on the map once navigation is in the app (a layer drivers switch on themselves), does not exist yet and has no date. Until it exists, we deliver the parts that do exist, at the same price.
3. The Partner package has at most nine places a year. Posts are scheduled together. We publish at most two paid partner posts a week, for all partners together.

3. Order and contract

1. Orders are placed with the form on the offer page. Only an order through that form, with the box for these terms ticked, counts as acceptance; a reply by e-mail does not. The contract is concluded when TruckerVerse confirms the order by e-mail.
2. TruckerVerse may refuse an order, among others from staffing and recruitment agencies, other driver apps, and offers that breach the law or our community rules. Anything already paid is then refunded in full.

4. Term, renewal and cancellation

1. The contract runs for twelve months from payment: the day the first invoice or the first instalment is paid.
2. It then renews automatically for twelve months each time, unless either party cancels by e-mail at least two months before the end of the current period. The partner cancels via [email protected]. We confirm every cancellation by e-mail.
3. At least three months before the end of each period we send the partner an e-mail with the end date, the last date to cancel and the price for the next period.
4. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Amounts due for that period remain due.

5. Prices and payment

1. Prices are in euro, excluding VAT. VAT is charged as required by law. For a partner with a valid VAT number in another member state of the European Union, the reverse-charge rule applies.
2. The partner chooses the billing rhythm: (a) yearly: ten months' price, in advance, for twelve months; or (b) monthly: twelve monthly instalments per period. The monthly instalments are a payment facility. With monthly payment, the contract also runs for twelve months.
3. The payment method depends on the billing rhythm: (a) monthly: by card via Stripe, the partner authorising TruckerVerse to charge each instalment to the card automatically, also after a renewal; (b) yearly: by card via Stripe or by one invoice, payable within fourteen days of the invoice date. Monthly payment by invoice or bank transfer is not possible.
4. On late payment, interest and the fixed compensation for recovery costs under the Belgian Act of 2 August 2002 on combating late payment in commercial transactions are due automatically and without notice. If a reminder goes unanswered, we may suspend delivery until payment.
5. We send invoices electronically, to Belgian businesses via Peppol.

6. Founding terms

1. The first 25 businesses that order a package while the Founding offer is shown on the offer page are Founding partners.
2. A Founding partner gets: (a) the same price for its package for 24 months from the start of the contract; (b) the Founding label on the partner page for as long as the contract runs.
3. Yearly payment at ten months' price for twelve applies to everyone.

7. Price changes

1. We may change the price for a next period, except during the fixed price of article 6.2 (b). We announce a new price at least three months before the end of the current period. The partner may then cancel under article 4.2.

8. What the partner gets, and what not

1. Everything we publish for the partner is labelled as a paid partner.
2. TruckerVerse promises no reach, no number of views, no customers and no revenue. We share figures in bands (fewer than 10, 10 to 49, and so on), never per driver.
3. A partner never receives data on drivers. Payment never gives influence on polls, notifications, employer profiles or the order of a list.
4. TruckerVerse decides on the form and timing of publication, and may adapt or refuse content that breaches the law or our community rules. Content about the partner is published only after the partner's approval.
5. Moving up to a higher package is possible at any time; we charge the difference for the rest of the period. Moving down is possible at renewal.

9. Partner content, name and logo

1. The partner supplies its logo, text, photos and offer, and warrants that it may have them used and that they are accurate and lawful.
2. For the term of the contract the partner grants TruckerVerse a non-exclusive, free right to use that content, its name and its logo to deliver the package. After the end we remove them from the partner page and the app within thirty days. Posts already published may remain as an archive.
3. The partner honours its offer to drivers. An offer involving a draw, game of chance or contest needs our written approval in advance.

10. Liability

1. TruckerVerse provides its services on a best-efforts basis.
2. Except in the case of intent or fraud, our liability is limited to the amounts the partner paid in the twelve months before the event. We are not liable for indirect loss, such as loss of profit or customers.
3. Temporary unavailability of the website or the app due to maintenance or a fault is not a breach.

11. Early termination

1. Either party may end the contract by e-mail if the other party fails to meet a material obligation and does not remedy it within fifteen days of written notice.
2. TruckerVerse may end the contract immediately if the partner misleads or harms drivers. The partner then receives a refund of the prepaid amount for the remaining period, except in the case of fraud.
3. If TruckerVerse ends the partner programme, we announce it three months in advance and refund the prepaid amount for the remaining period.

12. Personal data

1. We process the data of the partner's contact persons to perform and invoice the contract (article 6(1)(b) GDPR), as described in our privacy policy on truckerverse.app. Card data is processed by Stripe; TruckerVerse does not see or store full card numbers.
2. We never share data on drivers with a partner.

13. Changes to these terms

1. A change to these terms applies only from the next period. We announce it together with the reminder of article 4.3, so the partner can cancel.

14. Law and disputes

1. Belgian law applies.
2. We first look for a solution together. Failing that, the courts of the judicial district of Antwerp have jurisdiction.
3. These terms exist in Dutch and English. In case of difference, the Dutch text prevails.
