  1. Description of Service

We provide an array of services for the supply chain management and logistics markets that involve management, tracking and reporting on shipment information. Subject to the restrictions in Section 11 below, you may use the Services for your business use or for internal business purpose in the organization that you represent. You may connect to the Services using any Internet browser supported by the Services. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Internet and the equipment necessary to use the Services. You can create and edit content with your user account and if you choose to do so, you can publish and share such content. NAV may limit the Services to particular geographic areas.

The Services use location-based services, such as GPS signals, on a mobile phone. Certain functionality of the Services cannot be provided without utilizing this technology. If you turn off these services, or if a mobile device is unable to communicate with these services, then the Services will not be fully functional or accurate.

An Internet connection is required to use the Services, and any associated charges (including, without limitation, mobile data charges) are your responsibility. We have made reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of data used by the mobile application, but there may be situations where additional data is required. You are solely responsible for all data availability and costs.

  1. User Sign-up Obligations

You need to sign up for a user account by providing all required information in order to access or use the Services. If you represent an organization and wish to use the Services for corporate internal use, we recommend that you, and all other users from your organization, sign up for user accounts by providing your corporate contact information. In particular, we recommend that you use your corporate email address. You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the sign up process; and (b) maintain and promptly update the information provided during sign up to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if NAV has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, NAV may terminate your user account and refuse current or future use of any or all of the Services.

  1. Organization Accounts and Administrators

When you sign up for an account for your organization you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. If your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such third party has assumed administrator role for your organization. Make sure that you enter into a suitable agreement with such third party specifying such party's roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.

You are responsible for (a) ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password, (b) appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and (b) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with these Terms. You understand that NAV is not responsible for account administration and internal management of the Services for you.

You are responsible for taking necessary steps for ensuring that your organization does not lose control of the administrator accounts. You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by sending an email to legal@freightexchangenetwork.com, provided that the process is acceptable to NAV. In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, NAV may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to NAV demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold NAV liable for the consequences of any action taken by NAV in good faith in this regard.

  1. Personal Information and Privacy

Personal information you provide to NAV through the Service is governed by NAV Privacy Policy (https://www.navigatortms.com/privacy). Your election to use the Service indicates your acceptance of the terms of such policy. You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your username, password and other sensitive information. You are responsible for all activities that occur in your user account and you agree to inform us immediately of any unauthorized use of your user account by email to legal@freightexchangenetwork.com or by calling us on any of the numbers listed on https://www.navigatortms.com/contact-us/.

However, you will not be able to opt-out from receiving service announcements and administrative messages.

You are responsible for ensuring that your contact information contained in the Service is current at all times. NAV is not responsible for failure of any email or other communication to reach you due to incorrect information in the Service.

You must respond to the complainant directly within 10 days of receiving the complaint forwarded by us and copy NAV in the communication. If you do not respond to the complainant within 10 days from the date of our email to you, we may disclose your name and contact information to the complainant for enabling the complainant to take legal action against you. You understand that your failure to respond to the forwarded complaint within the 10 days' time limit will be construed as your consent to disclosure of your name and contact information by NAV to the complainant. For the avoidance of doubt, the process described in this paragraph does not apply if NAV is required to comply with a statute, court order or similar mandate that requires immediate disclosure or does not permit NAV to disclose the complaint to you. For complaints involving copyrighted content, please see Paragraph 22 below.

  1. Fees and Payments

The Services are available under subscription plans of various prices. Payments for subscription plans are monthly and will be paid via credit card. Your subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each subscription period unless you wish to not renew the subscription. At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the credit card last used by you. We provide you the option of changing the details if you would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different credit card. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must inform us at least fifteen (15) days prior to the renewal date. If you do wish to renew the subscription, you will be presumed to have authorized NAV to charge the subscription fee to the credit card last used by you.

If your credit card is rejected or you are otherwise late in making any payment, (a) we may charge a late fee of $50 plus interest on any unpaid amounts at the rate of 1% per month or the highest amount allowed by law (whichever is greater) until all amounts are paid in full; (b) in addition to any other rights we have, we may suspend your access to the Services until your account is brought current; and (c) you will reimburse us for any attorneys' fees, court costs and other collections costs we incur in collecting any overdue amounts from you.
