Trella provides its Services via the App and the Web Portal (both hereinafter collectively referred to as “App”). Shippers may use the App to submit requests to arrange and schedule transportation of cargo, a service which will be rendered by the Carrier and an assigned Driver(s)(“Shipment”). 

Trella is a neutral marketplace that allows Shippers and Carriers to interact and enter into agreements for the provision of the cargo transportation services. Trella is not responsible for any Shipment terms entered into between you and any Carrier.

Once
Trella accepts a Shipment for posting, the Shipment’s details will be posted to the Services. You may cancel a Shipment at any time prior to a Carrier accepting it. A Carrier may view a list of Shipments available to it at any time and accept a Shipment through the Services.

Once a Carrier accepts a Shipment, Trella will notify you that the Shipment has been accepted and has been matched with a Carrier. Accordingly, the Carrier will be assigned to perform the relevant transportation services in connection with the Shipment. As a result, the contact information of the Users involved in the subject-matter Shipment will be made available to all Users engaged in the provision of the services related to the Shipment.

For the provision of Services, Shippers must provide the following information as part of submitting a Shipment request:

  4. Any specific equipment or requirements (handling specifications, motor vehicle features, etc.); and 
  5. Any other information necessary for the safe and adequate transportation of the cargo.

However, it is the Shipper’s responsibility to obtain the proof of delivery from the Carrier.

Trella does not regularly monitor or remove reviews or ratings, or any portion thereof, unless they contain content we deem inappropriate.

  1. Payment

You understand that use of the Services will result in charges applying to you for the Services provided to you by Trella and the services rendered to you by Carriers (“Charges”). After you have received cargo transportation services facilitated by Trella through your use of the Services, Trella will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Carrier. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be deemed the same as payment made directly by you to the Carrier. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law, including, but not limited to, the Value Added Tax. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Carrier for the cargo transportation services rendered as well as Trella’s Services.

All Charges are due after the completion of the Shipment and payment will be facilitated by Trella using the preferred payment method designated in your User Account, after which Trella will send you an invoice by [email and to your registered address]. However, you are required to provide Trella with details of a valid Credit Card, and Trella has the right to withdraw the Charges at any time after a request for Shipment has been made. In the event the Shipment is not matched with a Carrier or the matched Carrier fails to deliver the Shipment, Trella shall refund the Charges to the Credit Card, subject to applicable deductions, if any. The Charges may be revised upon the issuance of a Final Invoice (as defined hereunder), by Trella.        

You agree that Trella reserves the right to remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services rendered through the use of the Services, at any time in Trella’s sole discretion. 

Trella may, from time to time, provide certain Users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you, and shall not constitute an acquired or vested right.

You may elect to cancel your request for services from a Carrier at any time prior to such Carrier’s performance of the Services, otherwise you may be charged a cancellation fee.

  1. Payment Option 

Shippers are provided two payment means to settle Charges, as follows:

  1. Processing Payment

Upon completion of a Shipment, you will pay Trella the Charges quoted to you in the final invoice issued to you by Trella (“Final Invoice”). The Final Invoice shall consist of:

[The Final Invoice may also be subject to a listing fee. Trella may also collect a listing fee in order to list a Shipment. Such listing fee, if any, will be displayed to Shipper before listing any shipment and will be settled by the Shipper as part of the Final Invoice.]

Additional Charges may include, but are not limited to, detention time and/or overnight storage due to the authorized recipient’s unavailability or inability to receive the Shipment from Carrier, any differences between costs associated with the actual Shipment and the description of the Shipment provided on the Services. Carriers engaged by Trella are generally required to provide advance notice of ancillary services for which they intend to charge additional fees, such as lumper charges, special equipment required for blocking, bracing, marking or securement, “truck ordered not used fees”, extra stop charges and driver assist charges. However, advance notice is not always foreseeably possible or practical, and Trella may not be able to receive and communicate to you Carrier requests for approval of Additional Charges before the services are rendered. In that event, you agree to pay the Charges of any additional and/or ancillary services which Trella deems to be reasonable and necessary.

Upon settlement and full payment of Charges quoted in the Final Invoice, Trella shall issue a receipt of such payment and shall send it to you [via e-mail and/or at your registered address] to be signed by a duly authorized representative acknowledging payment of Charges associated with the Services, and a copy of such shall be provided to Trella. Such receipt will also be displayed on the App. This constitutes as your receipt, and you should save it for your records. 

You warrant that you have the right to use any credit card(s), or other payment means provided to Trella and used to initiate payment of any Charges. All information you provide to Trella’s third-party payment processor or to Trella must be accurate, valid and complete. You agree to immediately notify Trella of any change in your billing address or the credit card or bank account used for payment hereunder.

You agree not to circumvent payments for scheduled or completed Shipments in any way. All payments shall be in made the national currency of the jurisdiction where Trella operates, for example in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia all payments shall be made in SAR, in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, all payments shall be made in PKR. In the event Trella is unable to collect all Charges from you due to insufficient funds, you shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by Trella in connection with collection of the Charges, including costs and expenses of a third-party collection agency and legal fees, in such an instance, you also authorize Trella to make use of any credit or debit card provided by you to make good such insufficient funds.  

All Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, except as otherwise provided for in these Terms and Conditions.

Upon payment of the Final Invoice, Trella shall, in such mode and manner as Trella deems fit, make payment of all Charges minus the Trella Charges so paid under the Final Invoice to the Carrier (“Carrier Charges”) within ___ days of receipt of such monies by Trella. Such payment of Charges shall be made without the express need for the Carrier to issue a separate invoice to Trella.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause, the computation of Carrier Charges for the purposes of this Clause 3 shall be after due deduction of applicable federal and provincial taxes.  

  1. Cancellation Fee

Cancellations may be requested by either party prior to services being rendered.

Shipment cancellation by Shipper is valid if it occurs 8 hours before the Carrier’s Driver is dispatched to perform the cargo transportation service, otherwise, you may be charged a cancellation fee.

Upon cancellation of Shipment request, the Shipment request may either be re-Iisted or deleted.

In the event a cancellation fee applies, Trella will notify you that such fee applies, and will invoice you accordingly.
