A “motor carrier”, as used in this Agreement, means any motor carrier or trucking company, including a motor carrier as defined by 49 USC §13102(14) with authority issued by the federal and/or applicable state governments or a motor carrier with authority issued by any other applicable governmental authority.
The motor carrier shall be solely responsible for (i) controlling the method, manner, and means of accomplishing the motor carrier’s services, (ii) the acts and omissions of each of its employees, agents, contractors, independent contractors, subcontractors and other service providers, (iii) complying with all laws and regulations applicable to the motor carrier,(iv) any cargo loss or damage in accordance with applicable United States federal law up to $100,000 per shipment and (v) completing the motor carrier transportation services in accordance with any pickup or delivery instructions.

In addition, Uber Freight may tender loads sent to it by Customer to another broker, including an affiliate of Uber Freight, to arrange for transportation by a third-party motor carrier, in which case Customer agrees that the other broker will be responsible for the selection of the transporting motor carrier. Inclusion of Uber Freight or the other broker’s name on the bill of lading shall be for the convenience of the parties only and will not affect Uber Freight’s or the other broker’s status as a property transportation broker.
Customer agrees that (i) the amount Uber Freight pays to any motor carrier or any other brokers for transportation services is proprietary business information of Uber Freight that will not be provided to Customer, and Customer expressly waives any rights it may have under 49 CFR 371.3 to require such information from Uber Freight; (ii) Uber Freight may disclose information about the nature, kind, quantity, destination, consignee, routing of property and similar information relating to Customer’s shipments to motor carriers or other brokers using the Uber Freight Service and (iii) coverage of loads tendered to Uber Freight is dependent on carrier availability.

If Customer desires for Uber Freight to provide brokerage services for Hazmat FTL Shipments, Customer must contact Uber Freight to tender the Hazmat FTL Shipment and provide all applicable instructions to an Uber Freight representative. Customer agrees that in the event any shipment it tenders or causes to be tendered to Broker is classified as hazardous materials by the U.S. Department of Transportation or a similar designation from another governmental authority, such goods when tendered shall be properly packaged, labeled and transportable under applicable rules, regulations, and laws of federal, state and local jurisdictions through which they are to be transported. Customer agrees any Hazmat FTL Shipments will be directed to Broker’s affiliate, Uber Freight US LLC, to broker and secure capacity with motor carriers that have appropriate qualifications to handle the shipment, it being understood that Uber Freight US LLC will solely broker any Hazmat FTL Shipments under this Agreement. Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Uber Freight US LLC and its affiliates, and the transporting motor carrier from any claims, penalties, fines, or other damages arising out of Customer’s failure to comply with the requirements described herein.

Customer acknowledges Uber Freight’s need to be able to freely use any feedback about the Uber Freight Service, the Platform, the Uber Freight app or any related services or technologies (e.g., improvements, fixes, errors, bugs, etc.) provided by Customer and to own any improvements to the Uber Freight Service, the Platform, the Uber Freight app or any related services or technologies made by using or incorporating such feedback (collectively “Feedback”). Accordingly, Customer hereby assigns to Uber Freight any rights Customer may have, including all intellectual property rights, in the Feedback and Uber Freight may exercise its ownership rights to such Feedback and intellectual property rights without compensation, attribution or accounting. Without additional consideration, Customer agrees to perform all acts reasonably necessary to perfect such rights in Uber Freight.

Any User Content provided by Customer remains Customer’s property. However, by providing User Content to Uber Freight, Customer grants Uber Freight a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised, without further notice to or consent from Customer, and without the requirement of payment to Customer or any other person or entity.
Customer represents and warrants that: (i) Customer either is the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or Customer has all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Uber Freight the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content, nor Customer’s submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content, nor Uber Freight’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
Customer agrees to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by Uber Freight in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. Uber Freight may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Uber Freight’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to Customer.
In addition to the other terms in this Agreement, the terms below in the remainder of this Section 6 will also apply to any and all of Customer’s less-than-truckload (“LTL”) shipments.
Customer agrees that its LTL shipments will be managed by Blue-Grace Logistics LLC (“BG”) and Uber Freight and that Customer may access LTL services via online electronic platforms provided by Uber Freight and/or BG, and Customer will be responsible for all charges and services ordered in such platforms. To facilitate LTL services, Uber Freight, on behalf of Customer, will use Customer’s information to create an account on BG’s systems. Customer will pay Uber Freight for all LTL shipments as set forth in this Agreement.
BG guarantees the integrity of the rates, with exception to reclassification, shipment reweighs and accessorial charges. BG is a federally licensed freight broker as defined by 49 USC §13102(2) under authority granted by the FMCSA. BG is not acting as a motor carrier. Customer agrees that (i) neither BG nor Uber Freight shall have any liability for claims for cargo loss, damage, destruction or delay; and (ii) motor carriers may limit their liability with respect to claims for cargo loss, damage, destruction or delay. Neither BG nor Uber Freight will be responsible for any freight claims that are denied for any reason by the performing motor carrier. In the event Customer has a claim for cargo loss or damage for an LTL shipment, Customer may file the claim through Uber Freight and Uber Freight will facilitate the claim with the motor carrier. BG’s complete terms and conditions are located at www.mybluegrace.com/bluegracetnc (hyperlinked) and Customer acknowledges that they have read and agree to such.
Any insurance coverage for LTL shipments that may be purchased through the Platform by Customer is provided by Redkik, Inc (and not by Uber Freight). UBER FREIGHT IS NOT AN INSURANCE PRODUCER. NO INTERPRETATION OF WRITTEN OR ORAL REMARKS IN ANY AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO IMPLY UBER FREIGHT IS AN INSURANCE PRODUCER.
Freight class estimates are Uber Freight’s recommended freight class based on the shipment’s density only. The shipment’s freight class may differ from Uber Freight’s recommendation based on the handling, stability, and liability characteristics of Customer’s shipment. Freight class estimates are provided as a convenience only. Use of any recommended freight class estimates is at Customer’s own risk.
