In the event of login by means of the Facebook Connect interface integrated into the Application, the User authorises the Company to use the data he enters in his Facebook account to complete his User profile, on the understanding that the data derived from the Application does not give rise to any publication on the User’s Facebook profile, in particular in relation to Deliveries of Goods.

4. Formation of contract
4.1. Agreement of the PartiesThe User acknowledges and agrees that in accordance with section 28 of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, the cooling-off period does not apply for contracts for the transport of goods, and therefore to the Deliveries of Goods.
An electronic contract of an undefined duration, relating to the licence to use the Application, is entered into between the Member and the Company upon acceptance of these GCU by the Member.
Furthermore, the Application enables a User to make contact with an Independent Courier in order to undertake a Delivery of Goods under these GCU.
This Delivery of Goods is subject to an electronic contract between the User and the Independent Courier, which is formed via the Application under these GCU.
The Delivery Request comprising the choice of a Method of Transport, a Collection Address, a Sender, a Recipient and a Delivery Address, is issued by the User, via the Application, and constitutes an offer for services of Delivery of Goods at the Price communicated, subject to the provisions of Article 6 of these GCU.
The User irrevocably acknowledges and accepts that the above creates a sufficiently precise, firm, unequivocal and unreserved offer which is irrevocable, save under the conditions and within the timeframes indicated in Article 6.3.1, and is binding on the User upon acceptance by an Independent Courier of a Delivery Request.
Via the Application, the Independent Courier closest to the Collection Address and whose Method of Transport corresponds to that chosen by the User, shall be informed of the Delivery Request.
Once an Independent Courier accepts a Delivery Request, an electronic contract for Delivery of Goods is irrevocably entered into between the User and the Independent Courier, under these GCU. The Company is not a party to that contract.
Consequently, any Delivery Request must be fulfilled when accepted by an Independent Courier, save in the event of cancellation as set out in Article 6.3 of these GCU.
The aforementioned undertakings constitute agreements entered into via the Application between the Parties concerned.
4.2. EvidenceThe Parties recognise that the pressing of the confirmation button by the Independent Courier on the Application when the Goods are picked up, and the signature of the Recipient on the Application when the Goods are delivered, acts as evidence of the Delivery of the Goods and constitutes a signature having identical legal value to that on paper.

6. Processes relative to the Deliveries of Goods
6.1. Request for Delivery of Goods by the UserThe User enters into the Application the Collection Address, the Sender from whom the Independent Courier must collect the Goods, the Delivery Address and the Recipient to which the Independent Courier must deliver the Goods, together with, as a minimum, a telephone number, which may be that of the User and/or the Sender and/or the Recipient, and lastly the Method of Transport he desires.
The User acknowledges and agrees that this is essential information for the Delivery of Goods on the basis of which the Independent Courier is bound.
The User represents and warrants to the Company and the Independent Courier that he/it shall:request the Delivery of Goods to a named individual, on the understanding that the Delivery of Goods can only be confirmed by the Recipient’s signature;have the prior permission of the Sender and the Recipient to communicate to the Company and the Independent Courier the information entered concerning them, which may be surname, forename, postal address and telephone number, to enable the Delivery of Goods;specify the details, obvious or otherwise, of the Goods when they may have repercussions on the progress of the delivery by the Independent Courier, in particular if they may affect the Method of Transport;not request Delivery of Goods to a Recipient who is inaccessible or which would require unreasonable efforts by the Independent Courier, such as Recipients who may be incarcerated or whose address is inaccessible by land and/or not close to a marked road;only use the Service and the Delivery Request for legal purposes.
Subject to the foregoing, a fixed and final Price, as deemed to have been agreed between the User and the Independent Courier in accordance with Article 5.3 of these GCU, shall then be communicated to the User for the Delivery of Goods.
An estimate of the time for Delivery of Goods (including the approach time initially, then collection until delivery secondly) shall also be communicated to the User. Any timeframes specified shall be indicative only and shall not be binding on the Independent Courier (nor on the Company, which, in accordance with these GCU, is not a party to the contract for the Delivery of Goods).
6.2. Acceptance by the Independent Courier of the Delivery RequestAcceptance by the Independent Courier of a Delivery Request via the Application irrevocably binds the Independent Courier to undertake the said Delivery of Goods under the conditions of the GCU. The Company cannot require or force an Independent Courier to accept a Delivery Request and an Independent Courier makes any such acceptance entirely at his own discretion.
6.2.1. Confirmation of the Delivery RequestIrrespective of the Method of Transport used, if the Independent Courier accepts the Delivery Request, he undertakes to the User to effect the Delivery of Goods.
Acceptance by an Independent Courier of a Delivery Request shall be notified to the User by text or by a notification on the Application, and is deemed to constitute irrevocable conclusion of the contract binding the User to the Independent Courier, subject to the provisions of Article 6.3 of these GCU.
6.2.2. Communication between the User, the Independent Courier, the Sender and the RecipientThe Independent Courier may need to contact the User by telephone after acceptance of the Delivery Request.
The User must be contactable on the number indicated by him in his Account in order to answer the Independent Courier’s questions.
The Independent Courier may also need to contact the Sender and/or the Recipient, if not the User, by telephone at the time of the Delivery of Goods.
In this respect, the User who has entered the telephone numbers of the Recipient and/or the Sender, so they can be contacted by the Independent Courier within the framework of the Delivery of Goods, represents and warrants that he has obtained their agreement to do so.
The telephone details entered are only kept by the Company for the time of the Delivery of Goods, and are encrypted. This means that the Independent Courier can contact the User and/or the Sender and/or the Recipient, via the Application, without being able to see the telephone numbers.
If the Independent Courier is unable to contact the User and/or the Sender and/or the Recipient, the Independent Courier may, at his discretion, automatically terminate the Delivery of Goods, in accordance with Article 6.3 of these GCU. He shall, if necessary, make contact beforehand with the Company in order to take the appropriate steps, particularly to organise a Delivery of Goods to the Collection Address (reverse process) so that the Independent Courier can return the Goods to the Sender or the User. The cost of this Delivery of Goods shall be identical to that of the outward delivery.
6.2.3. Execution of the Delivery of Goods by the Independent CourierThe Independent Courier is deemed to be in possession of the Goods once the Sender has signed the Application installed on the Independent Courier’s Device.
A route is recommended by the Application to the Independent Courier for the Delivery of Goods, but the Independent Courier is under no obligation to take the recommended route and may undertake the Delivery of Goods as it sees fit for the purposes of carrying on its business.
The Independent Courier is under no obligation to make any Delivery of Goods within any timeframe communicated as an estimate, or within any other deadline. However, he undertakes to the User to use best efforts to complete the Delivery of Goods within a reasonable timeframe, taking account of the Method of Transport, the Goods, the traffic and weather conditions, etc and in line with the usual operation of his own business.
6.2.4. Delivery of the Goods by the Independent Courier to the RecipientThe Delivery of the Goods by the Independent Courier to the Recipient is recorded by the signature of the said Recipient on the Application installed on the Independent Courier’s Device.
The User shall inform the Recipient that upon identification of any damage or spoiling on Delivery of Goods, the Recipient must log the details and sign and date the statement on the Application via the Device.
A notification shall be sent to the User via the Application together with a receipt and an invoice, under the conditions of Article 8 of these GCU.
A feedback system on the Application enables each User, at the time of a Delivery of Goods, to give a score out of five and a qualitative opinion about the service of the Delivery of Goods undertaken by the Independent Courier.
The User shall not send messages of an injurious, insulting, denigrating, degrading or defamatory nature against an Independent Courier. The Company reserves the right to delete all or part of a message notified to it, without delay, which, in its opinion, does not meet these GCU.
6.4. Cancellation by the Member
6.4.1 Cancellation by the UserThe User may cancel his Delivery Request, without cost, up to two (2) minutes after issuing the Delivery Request via the Application, provided that the Goods have not been collected from the Sender by the Independent Courier.
After this time, the User may cancel his Delivery Request before the Goods have been collected by the Independent Courier from the Sender, but the Minimum Price of 50% of the cost of the Delivery of Goods will then be billed to him.
Once the Sender certifies handover of the Goods to the Independent Courier, through his signature on the Application via the Device, it is then no longer possible for the User to cancel the Delivery of Goods. However at any time thereafter the User can request a new 'reverse' Delivery of Goods, via the Application, in order to return the Goods to the User, to the Sender or to any other individual.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall play no part in the decision by a User to cancel a Delivery Request under this Article 6.4.1.
6.4.2. Cancellation by the Independent CourierThe Independent Courier may only request to cancel a Delivery of Goods in the following cases:
if the Goods present dimensions greater than those set out in Article 5.2 of these GCU, and are therefore not compliant with these GCU;in the absence of response from the User and/or the Sender to the Independent Courier’s telephone calls in order to execute the Delivery of Goods; orin the case of any Force Majeure Event;Save in the case of a Force Majeure Event entailing the application of Article 7.2 of these GCU, the cancellation by the Independent Courier of the Delivery of Goods for the aforementioned reasons must be considered as cancellation by the User as defined in Article 6.4.1 of these GCU, and shall be billed to the User.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall play no part in the decision by an Independent Courier to cancel a Delivery Request under this Article 6.4.1.
7. Resolution of disputes concerning the Delivery of GoodsPursuant to these GCU, and as stated elsewhere in these GCU, the Delivery of Goods is not executed by the Company but by the Independent Courier only.
Any claim relating to the Delivery of Goods may only be made against the Independent Courier and not the Company.
However the Company, as the entity that has put the Independent Courier in contact with the User, shall, to the extent reasonably possible, participate as mediator in the resolution of disputes that may arise between the User and the Independent Courier and originated during a Delivery of Goods initiated via the Application.
7.1 Before collection of the Goods by the Independent CourierAny cancellation of a Delivery Request shall be settled under the conditions of Article 6.3.1 of these GCU.
If an Independent Courier cancels a Delivery of Goods before collection of the Goods for any reason other than this Independent Courier was the wrong Method of Transport or because the User wants to cancel the Delivery of Goods, then another Independent Courier shall be automatically allocated to undertake the Delivery of Goods, without any change to the Price or the Method of Transport.
7.2. During the Delivery of Goods by the Independent CourierIf an Independent Courier cancels a Delivery of Goods due to a Force Majeure Event, he shall then contact the Company, which shall inform the User promptly on behalf of the Independent Courier.
The Company shall then seek the most appropriate solution, in collaboration with the User.
If an Independent Courier cancels a Delivery of Goods due to a Force Majeure Event entailing the destruction of the Goods or their damage preventing delivery, then the Price shall not be debited from the User and the Independent Courier shall contact the User and the Company in order to implement the insurance.
7.3. Upon receipt of the Delivery of Goods by the Recipient
7.3.1. Damaged Goods:If a Recipient refuses the Delivery of Goods due to the alleged destruction of the Goods or their damage, spoiling, loss or theft, then the Price of the service will be debited from the User and it shall be the User's responsibility to demonstrate to the Independent Courier, and to the Company, that the alleged damage has indeed occurred, in which case a refund of the Price of the service may be issued.
At the same time, the Independent Courier shall be responsible for making contact with the User so that an insurance claim may be made.
In the absence of detailed reservations recorded by the Recipient at the time of the Delivery of Goods, it shall be the User's responsibility to prove that the damage took place during the Delivery of Goods by the Independent Courier, and to establish that the damage was caused during the Delivery of Goods by the Independent Courier.
If the destruction, damage, loss, average or theft is proven to be due to the Delivery of Goods executed by the Independent Courier, the Company shall collection the Price of the Delivery of Goods due from Independent Courier and refund it to the User.
7.3.2. Other causes:No suspension nor reimbursement of the Price owed by the User shall be made in any circumstance other than those listed in Article 7.3.1 of these GCU, including without limitation, the refusal of the Goods by the Recipient, or his refusal to receive them. If the Recipient refuses to accept the Goods for any reason other than those set out in Article 7.3.1, the Independent Courier shall return the Goods through a Delivery of Goods and the User will be billed for such return, or the User can instruct the Independent Courier to bin the Goods.
The User acknowledges and agrees that the Independent Courier is not responsible for any non-conformity of the Goods or delay in Delivery of Goods in relation to the estimated timeframe indicated, and that these do not constitute a valid and admissible reason for refusing to accept the Goods.

1.1.2. Corporate entityA transport company may use the Application to offer its own employees as Independent Couriers. The corporate entity is also considered an Independent Courier, and the provisions of these GCU applicable to Independent Couriers, and more generally to the Members, apply de facto to this corporate entity, which shall be responsible for ensuring that its employees allocated to carry out Deliveries of Goods respect and at all times act in accordance with these GCU. The corporate entity must register on the Application using the process .
The corporate entity, upon creation of its Account, must provide any documents requested by the Company: in addition to the documents mentioned in Article 1.1.1 of these SC.
The Company shall then create sub-Accounts for each employee declared by the corporate entity. These employees shall then all be considered Independent Couriers and may execute Deliveries of Goods. However, all billing elements shall be allocated to the Account of the corporate entity, which shall supervise the sub-Accounts of its employees. The invoices for each Delivery of Goods executed by one of the employees of the corporate entity shall be published in the name and on behalf of the corporate entity managing the principal Account.

The Independent Courier may only use one Method of Transport.

If the Independent Courier fails to meet the abovementioned requirements, he may not accept Delivery Requests from the Application until he has remedied the position.
If he wishes to propose a motorised vehicle as Method of Transport, the Independent Courier must provide a copy of his driving licence, including evidence of the number of points remaining on his driving licence, and any other documentation and/or evidence which the Company may reasonably require.
1.3 Biannual renewal of evidence required by the CompanyThe Independent Courier undertakes, without intervention of the Company, to communicate to it, every six (6) months, the documents mentioned in Article 1.1.1 of these SC for individuals, and in Article 1.1.2 of these SC for corporate entities, and to respond without delay to any request for communication by the Company of the said documents and/or any information or document necessary to execute these GCU.
If the Independent Courier fails to provide any of the documents requested within the required timeframes, the Company may automatically suspend access to the Services by the Independent Courier.

Availability of the Independent CourierThe Independent Courier may make himself unavailable by clicking on the button provided for the periods where he does not intend to be put in contact with Users via the Application. The Independent Courier must not however alternate the “available” and “unavailable” statuses of the Application at an excessive frequency so as to affect the quality of the Services. Abusive and sudden changes of status, to be determined at the sole reasonable discretion of the Company, may lead to suspension of the Independent Courier’s Account.
The Independent Courier acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the User may locate him, in real time, when his Device is switched on and he is displayed as “available” on the Application, in compliance with the Privacy Charter.
Notwithstanding the GCU and these SC, the Independent Courier shall be free to undertake such other work as he wishes (other than through the Application).
The Independent Courier will await a notification on the Application indicating a contact with a User on the basis of this geolocation. As the contact with the Users may require telephone coordination, the Independent Courier shall ensure that his mobile Device is close to him when he is in “available” mode, and that his phone number is completed and up-to-date in his Account.
3. Receipt of a Delivery RequestThe Independent Courier has a period of fifteen (15) seconds to accept or refuse the Delivery Request made by a User.
The Independent Courier is free to accept or refuse Delivery Requests. However, excessive refusals or failure to accept Delivery Requests (to be determined at the sole, reasonable discretion of the Company) may lead to suspension of the Independent Courier’s Account. The Delivery Request received by the Independent Courier shall include the following information:
collection Address and Delivery Address of the Goods;name of the Sender and the Recipient;distance to be travelled, which may not be modified, to execute the Delivery of Goods; andadditional and optional information may have been added by the User or may be added during the Delivery of Goods, such as information about the Goods that may influence the process of delivery (fragile, chilled, possibility of delivering to another Recipient, etc.).If the Delivery Request requires specific transport conditions, on the request of the User, e.g. in terms of hygiene, temperature or equipment, for example for chilled products, fragile products, etc.) or other conditions required to meet applicable legislation, the Independent Courier must ensure, prior to his acceptance, that his Method of Transport meets these specifications.
The Independent Courier shall calculate his costs for providing Delivery of Goods. The acceptance of a Delivery Request means that the Price (after deducting the Company’s commission) is greater than the cost of the transport for the Independent Courier.
An Independent Courier using a motorised Method of Transport must ensure that the aforementioned sum covers: i) the costs incurred by any applicable legal and regulatory obligations, e.g. relating to employment, tax, insurance and safety matters; ii) the costs of fuel and maintenance; iii) the amortisation or rent of the vehicles; iv) the travel expenses of the vehicle drivers; v) tolls; vi) the costs of transport documents and tax stamps; and vii) where applicable, the remuneration of the company manager.
Acceptance by the Independent Courier, in compliance with Article 4.1 of the body of the GCU, creates an agreement between the User and the Independent Courier, such that the Independent Courier irrevocably undertakes to execute the Delivery of Goods requested and the User undertakes to pay the Price due. The Company is not a party to these arrangements and shall have no responsibility relating to them.

Once the Independent Courier has accepted the Delivery Request, he must go without delay to the Collection Address specified by the User to collect the Goods (via the fastest route according to factors such as traffic).
When the Goods must be collected from/delivered to a shop and/or company premises, the Independent Courier shall make every effort not to disturb its operation. The Independent Courier undertakes to carry out the Deliveries of Goods diligently, demonstrating the highest level of care.

Any refusal to accept the Goods, for a reason other than the destruction, damage, theft, average or loss of the Goods, will be considered as cancellation by the Independent Courier of the Delivery of Goods under the conditions of Article 6.3 of the body of the GCU.
If the Goods are damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost, or if the Recipient refuses to sign with the Independent Courier to certify safe receipt of the Goods, and/or in the event of inability to execute the Delivery of Goods for any reason, then the Independent Courier must promptly notify the Company thereof via the Application, and, where applicable, return the Goods to the Sender promptly or allow another Independent Courier to collect the Goods and complete the Delivery of Goods. The Independent Courier may make contact with the User and the Recipient to perform the Delivery of Goods.
The Independent Courier shall work alone (in his own name) and not in collaboration with other Independent Couriers (whether in partnership, joint venture or otherwise).
5. Execution of a return of GoodsFollowing acceptance of a Delivery Request, the Independent Courier may be required to return the Goods to the Sender in several circumstances described in these GCU, such as, without limitation, refusal to sign by the Recipient or damage to the Goods.

The Independent Courier acknowledges that this return may lengthen his time for Delivery of Goods.
The Independent Courier acknowledges that this return may lengthen his time for Delivery of Goods.
If the User criticises an excessive timeframe for Delivery of Goods by the Independent Courier, he must notify the Company, which may verify the route used by the Independent Courier in question and may, where applicable and at its sole discretion, take measures against him.
7. Limitation of liability of the Independent CourierThe Independent Courier may become liable for material damage and/or consequential loss, such as loss, theft, material damage, or destruction of the Goods during the Delivery of Goods, except where the foregoing are due to factors such as, without limitation, fault of the Sender or the Recipient, a Force Majeure Event and/or a defect inherent to the Goods or insufficient packaging.
The Independent Courier's total liability for material damage and/or consequential loss, such as loss, theft, material damage, average or destruction of the Goods shall be the greater of: i) the original value of the Goods; or ii) the amount of their repair or reconstitution, in both cases up to the limit of 500 pounds sterling. The User and/or Recipient must provide receipts to support any claim.
The Independent Courier shall not be liable for any indirect loss resulting from the Delivery of Goods or the failure of the Delivery of Goods.
The Independent Courier shall bear no liability to the Company for failure to carry out the delivery of Goods, as his sole responsibility for this service is to the User.
8. PaymentIn order to complete the receipts or invoices produced by the Company in the name and on behalf of the Independent Courier, and to collect payment of the Price (including any VAT), the Independent Courier shall at all times provide all necessary information, in particular in relation to his identification and his status for VAT purposes (including details of any VAT registration), and confer a mandate for collection and billing in accordance with the annexes to these SC. The Independent Courier shall receive payment weekly for the Deliveries of Goods executed since the last invoice issued (since the date of creation of the Account for the first payment).
The Independent Courier must ensure that his billing information and VAT status is up-to-date, complete and correct at all times. The Company has no responsibility to advise the Independent Courier of any VAT obligations.
In this respect, for the remuneration due to the Company for the Services and, where applicable, the cost of the insurance as specified in Article 11 of these SC, save where the Independent Courier chooses a different insurance to that offered by the Company and gives evidence thereof, the Company shall keep the VAT-exclusive amount of the Price of the Delivery of Goods as intermediation commission (plus any VAT on such commission), and the balance of the Price shall be paid over to the Independent Courier at the rates set forth in Annex II.
The Independent Courier shall declare his income generated for Deliveries of Goods to the tax authorities and shall file all relevant tax and VAT returns, and accounts for all VAT due on the service of Delivery of Goods.
