This Terms and Conditions of Use document (hereinafter “T&C”) contains the rules of use valid for the Localie Platform (hereinafter “Localie Platform”) and for the Provision of Freight Services (hereinafter “Freight”). The rules contained herein oblige Localie and the Delivery Partner (hereinafter “Delivery”). By registering on the Localie Platform and making himself available to carry out the Shipping, the Delivery Person is accepting this T&C in its entirety.

The transport contract

The transport contract is signed when the Freight is accepted by the Delivery Person, who is responsible for deciding whether or not to carry out the Freight offered by the Localie Platform. The End User, using the Localie Platform, offers and contracts Freight directly, with no participation of Localie in the transport contract. The Delivery Person is aware that Localie does not act in carrying out the Freight and, therefore, has no responsibility for the service, the cargo or the End User contracting the service. Localie only provides access to the Delivery Person by the End User, so that he can carry out the Shipping. Freight is responsible for the Freight Forwarder, an independent professional who does not have an employment, corporate or subordinate relationship with Localie. The Courier is then aware that his responsibility includes, but is not limited to: (i) meeting the delivery schedule; (ii) complete the Shipping without errors; (iii) repair any damage caused to the shipped product; (iv) answer for the loss of part or all of the product sent, (v) answer for the non-delivery of the product, among others.

When using the Localie Platform, the End User pays (i) the intermediation of Freight, to be paid to Localie and (ii) Freight, to be paid to the Delivery Person. Observing the payment conditions (debit, credit, etc.), Localie receives the full amount (i + ii) and passes the amount referring to Freight (ii) to the Delivery Person. By registering on the Localie Platform and accepting these T&C, the Delivery Agent authorizes Localie to receive the Freight amount on his behalf from the End User and provide a Debit Note containing all relevant tax information, such as Corporate Name, Tx Number, Address, etc. . necessary for the instruction of the End User accounting. The receipt of the transfer of Localie’s Freight to the Delivery Person always takes place on the 5th (fifth) business day of the month following that of the Freight. The transfer always accumulates all Freights made in the calendar month. In the onboarding process, the Delivery Person receives the conditions of remuneration valid on the date of his affiliation. Any changes are communicated at least 15 (fifteen) days in advance. The statement of amounts receivable is updated daily by the Localie Platform and automatically forwarded to the Delivery Person by e-mail. By joining the Localie Platform, the Delivery Person declares and acknowledges that there are no guarantees of minimum remuneration or quantity of Freight offered.
