1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the TruckCo Exchange website and related inquiry, matching, and communication services. By accessing the website or submitting information, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website or submit information through it.
2. Who May Use the Site
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into agreements to use this site. If you use the site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to act for that organization.
3. Nature of TruckCo Exchange Services
TruckCo Exchange provides a platform and business process intended to help trucking-company owners and acquisition-minded buyers organize information, identify possible opportunities, and communicate about potential transactions.
4. No Guarantee of Value, Buyer, Seller, Financing, or Closing
Any discussion of value, pricing, market interest, transaction structure, or potential buyer fit is informational and may change. We do not guarantee that a company will sell, that a buyer will purchase, that financing will be available, that a specific valuation or price will be achieved, or that any transaction will close.
“Value expectation,” asking-price information, market observations, and preliminary reviews are not formal appraisals, valuations, fairness opinions, tax advice, accounting advice, legal advice, or investment advice.
5. Your Information and Accuracy
You agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and not intentionally misleading. You are responsible for verifying information before relying on it in a transaction. We may rely on information supplied by owners, buyers, public records, third-party databases, and other sources, but we do not guarantee that such information is complete, current, or error-free.
6. Confidential and Sensitive Business Information
We treat inquiry information as private business information and aim to limit unnecessary disclosure. However, you should not submit trade secrets, passwords, bank credentials, Social Security numbers, full payment-card information, or other information that is not reasonably necessary for an initial inquiry.
When a potential transaction progresses, additional confidentiality obligations may be established through a nondisclosure agreement or other written agreement between the relevant parties.
7. Due Diligence Is Your Responsibility
Buyers and sellers are responsible for their own investigation and due diligence, including review of corporate records, ownership, contracts, equipment, liens, debt, taxes, insurance, FMCSA records, safety history, licensing, authority status, financial statements, customers, employees, claims, litigation, compliance, and any other matters relevant to a transaction.
You should engage qualified attorneys, accountants, tax professionals, insurance professionals, lenders, valuation professionals, and other advisers as appropriate before entering into a transaction.
8. Opportunities and Listings
Opportunity summaries may omit identifying information for confidentiality. Availability can change without notice. A listing or opportunity appearing on the site does not mean that the information has been independently verified or that the owner is obligated to sell. We may modify, suspend, or remove opportunities at any time.
9. Fees and Separate Agreements
Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, using the public website does not by itself create an obligation to pay a brokerage commission, advisory fee, success fee, or transaction fee. If paid services are offered, the applicable scope, compensation, and terms should be stated in a separate agreement.
10. Permitted Use
You may use the site only for lawful business purposes. You may not:
- Submit false, fraudulent, deceptive, or unauthorized information.
- Attempt to access accounts, systems, data, or nonpublic information without authorization.
- Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the website.
- Use automated scraping, harvesting, or bulk-copying tools in a way that burdens the site or extracts confidential information.
- Use the site to violate privacy, intellectual-property, consumer-protection, communications, transportation, licensing, or other applicable laws.
11. Intellectual Property
The TruckCo Exchange name, logo, website design, text, graphics, software, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to TruckCo Exchange and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, or exploit these materials except as allowed by law or with written permission.
12. Third-Party Services and Links
The website may link to or use third-party services, including communications, analytics, scheduling, payment, mapping, government-record, or other services. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, terms, or privacy practices.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TruckCo Exchange and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost business opportunities, loss of data, or damages arising from reliance on transaction information, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
15. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless TruckCo Exchange and its owners, officers, employees, and contractors from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the site, information you submit, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s rights.
16. Communications
When you submit a form or contact us, you authorize us to respond using the contact information you provide. You may request that marketing communications stop. We may retain limited records needed to honor communication preferences, document transaction activity, protect legal rights, or comply with law.
17. Suspension or Termination
We may restrict or terminate access to the site or services if we reasonably believe there has been misuse, fraud, a security risk, a violation of these Terms, or other conduct that could harm TruckCo Exchange, users, or third parties.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page identifies the current version. Continued use of the site after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
19. Applicable Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any transaction-specific agreement may contain separate governing-law, venue, mediation, arbitration, or dispute-resolution provisions, and those written provisions will control for that agreement.
