User Agreement – Shipping and Delivery
Preamble
Terms and Conditions
1. MOOV is a Neutral Venue
MOOV is not a Transportation Service Provider (TSP), freight forwarder or broker. Our site acts as a venue where shipping customers and TSPs can meet and enter into agreements. We are not involved in the actual transaction between shipping customers and TSPs. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legal aspects of the transactions that take place on our website. MOOV does not prequalify or validate the claims of TSPs including with respect to their licensure, insurance and registration. We, our website and mobile application function solely as a neutral venue and digital clearinghouse where two parties may agree on a price for a particular type of service. We are the neutral venue for this connection between you and other members. We do not provide any endorsement for you or your services, you acknowledge and agree that we do not provide the services and we are not in any way responsible for assisting you in any manner with your provision of the services. We cannot and will not guarantee the ability of members to complete payment for any of the provided services. Furthermore, due to the difficulty of individual authentication, especially on the Internet, we cannot and will not in any manner verify or confirm the identity or ability of members to pay for the provided services. You acknowledge and agree that any and all communications, correspondence, verbal or written, or any warranties or representations, made with regard to the services are not provided by us and are specifically and solely between you and the other member. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between shipping customers and TSPs, we have no control over the accuracy of listings, the ability of TSPs to transport items, or the ability of shipping customers to send items. We cannot ensure that a shipping customer or TSP will actually complete a shipment.
2. Membership
You agree that you can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Our services are not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended MOOV members. You acknowledge that you are at least 18 years of age. Minors may only use this service in conjunction with their parents or guardians. Your MOOV membership may not be transferred or sold to another party. If you are registering as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this agreement. Members who engage in the transportation of goods must have a valid license to operate the vehicle they intend to use. You agree that the website and mobile application are for services only and that work that you provide will only involve services. You agree that you will not use your participation in the MOOV website as a means to sell or market any types of goods or products, unless specifically allowed by MOOV.
3. Other Terms and Conditions
You acknowledge and agree that we have the sole discretion to set forth and post additional terms and conditions for your use of the website and mobile application at various places throughout the website and mobile application. You agree that those additional terms and conditions shall be considered an effective amendment to this Agreement and said terms and conditions shall be incorporated herein. Furthermore, you expressly agree that if there is any conflict between those additional terms and conditions and the specific terms and conditions set forth herein, the terms and conditions set forth herein shall govern.
4. Fees.
⟨ a ⟩There are currently no fees to join MOOV as a primary user. MOOV may collect a listing fee in order to activate certain services, an auction and/or an Auction Service Charge from shipping customers in certain categories if and when a bid is accepted. The amount for such an Auction Service Charge, if any, will be displayed for customers before they accept any bid. Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) are charged a base transaction booking fee (base fee may be discounted for special programs) based on a tiered percentage of their accepted bid price. In addition, there are specific premium MOOV offerings that are covered under separate fee schedules.
The origin and destination of a shipment or type of service offering determines the applicable fee schedule that applies, which may change from time to time. Unless otherwise stated, all fee schedules are based in Nigeria Naira (“NGN”). For bids placed in a different currency, we will use market conversion rate on the bid date to calculate the booking fee. This fee is only charged if a TSP's bid is accepted by the shipping customer.
⟨ b ⟩MOOV reserves the right to charge members for fees associated with specific bids or transactions that occurred on our site. Account credits resulting from prepaid booking deposits (see Section 5) will offset the fees due to MOOV. MOOV reserves the right to waive or change our fees, penalties, or interest at any time. We may temporarily change or suspend our fees as a promotion and such changes are effective for the promotional period described on our website. You are solely responsible for paying all fees associated with using our services as well as all applicable taxes. You are responsible for all actions taken with your username and password, including fees. We recommend that you do not disclose your MOOV password or any account sensitive information to any third parties.
5. Deposits & Payments
Shipping customers may be given two payment options when they accept a bid from a TSP:
MOOV Payments: MOOV Payments is an escrow service. MOOV collects the total booking price and notifies the TSP. Once delivery is completed, MOOV release payment to the TSP, less applicable fees.
The shipping customer retains the right to control their payment(s). Releasing payment to the TSP is the equivalent of making a non-reversible cash payment. TSPs can only ask for the payment after the load is delivered when being paid through MOOV Payments (exception: shipments of live animals may require payment at pick-up). Cancellations can only be initiated if the funds have not been released to the TSP through MOOV Payments. Customers will receive a refund of 95% of the accepted bid price and a MOOV credit equal to the Bid (Auction) Service Fee plus 5% of the accepted bid price once a cancellation is completed. In the event that payment is released before a dispute is reported, MOOV reserves the right to suspend both parties, debit the transporter’s account for the amount owed and/or not issue a credit or refund for any or all of the amount paid through MOOV Payments by the customer. The customer agrees that payment should be released to the TSP upon delivery of the shipment (exception: shipments of live animals may require payment at pick-up) regardless of damages, delays or any other service level issue that might have occurred during transit. Should damage occur, the shipping customer should take appropriate steps to file an insurance claim and/or work with their TSP to settle the damage claim.
In the event of a payment dispute, when a customer refuses to authorize release of the payment, MOOV cannot release payment without the shipping customer’s consent under any circumstances. Only upon a customer giving consent will a payment be released. MOOV can also attempt to contact the customer on behalf of the TSP regarding the refusal of payment and assist in mediating the issue, however, MOOV is not responsible for any monetary disputes that reside with a TSP or shipping customer; it is the responsibility of both the TSP and shipping customer to resolve all monetary disputes, damage claims, breach of contract claims, etc. outside of MOOV.
TSPs who receive payment through MOOV Payments may be given the option to withdraw funds from MOOV Fast Cash. This option is available according to the following requirements:
If a TSP chooses to withdraw from MOOV Fast Cash, they will be charged a non-refundable fee of N1.00 for every increment of ₦20.00, which will be assessed at the time of the withdrawal. The final determination of the TSP’s eligibility and MOOV Fast Cash limit is at the sole discretion of MOOV. MOOV reserves the right to charge the TSP for fees and outstanding balances related to MOOV Payments withdrawals.
MOOV Booking Deposit: Customers pay a deposit in the amount of the TSP’s matching bid rate plus service charge. This deposit is collected by MOOV and placed in escrow. Upon delivery confirmation the deposit amount is then moved from escrow credited to the TSP’s MOOV account less applicable MOOV fee.
A MOOV credit equal to the booking deposit amount will be applied to the shipping customer’s account in the event of a completed cancellation on the MOOV site. Customers are encouraged to contact member support regarding questions or concerns about their MOOV account credit and/or refund.
MOOV Payments, the shipping customer deposit and/or Auction Service fee will not be credited or refunded in the event of a completed shipment transaction. MOOV is not responsible for any monetary disputes that reside with a TSP or shipping customer; it is the responsibility of both the TSP and shipping customer to resolve all monetary disputes, damage claims, breach of contract claims, etc. outside of MOOV.
6. Authorization to Credit and Debit Accounts
As a shipping customer or TSP, you irrevocably and expressly authorize MOOV to credit any monies to the account that you have identified for MOOV. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid bank account on file with us while engaging in activity on our website. You agree that if you do not maintain a valid bank account on file with us during any billing attempt, you may be subject to interest and penalties as enumerated below. You irrevocably and expressly authorize MOOV to withhold any monies and/or debit any monies from any account that you have identified to MOOV for any chargebacks, fees, costs, deductions, adjustments and any other amounts owed to MOOV. We reserve our rights to all actions and remedies in connection with any monies owed to MOOV. You will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless for any claims, demands or causes of actions that we take toward any identified account pursuant to this Section.
7. Charge backs
Unwarranted chargebacks initiated by MOOV members against MOOV are prohibited and will result in the suspension of your MOOV account, and may result in MOOV pursuing any and all options at its disposal to collect the withdrawn funds including, but not limited to, sending your unpaid account to a collections agency or the appropriate law enforcement agency. In the event that shipping services were not performed, all members must abide by the MOOV Cancellation Policy described in Section 9 of this agreement. The MOOV Cancellation Process ensures the integrity of the rating and feedback system and accuracy of any refund.
There are situations where a chargeback may be warranted, such as when a card holder feels that their card has been charged fraudulently and/or there is a discrepancy with the billed amount. Prior to any chargeback initiation, MOOV must be notified by the card holder so that MOOV may investigate the claim to determine if a chargeback is appropriate. A chargeback may not be filed as a replacement, or an addition to, a cancellation of a MOOV transaction.
If an unwarranted chargeback of the shipping customer deposit is initiated and accepted by the credit card processor or other entity, MOOV reserves the right to charge the TSP for any costs associated with the chargeback. This deposit represents a portion of the total bid price and is credited to the TSP's MOOV account to offset any bid fees. If a chargeback is accepted, the TSP becomes responsible for that invoiceable amount.
The online payment through MOOV Payments, the shipping customer deposit and/or Auction Service fee will not be credited or refunded in the event of a completed shipment transaction. MOOV is not responsible for any monetary disputes that reside with a TSP or shipping customer; it is the responsibility of both the TSP and shipping customer to resolve all monetary disputes, damage claims, breach of contract claims, etc. outside of MOOV.
8. Unpaid Fees
If, for any reason, any fees have not been received or in any manner realized by MOOV on bids that have been completed by you for the services and any additional services performed by you ("Unpaid Fees"), you agree to pay such Unpaid Fees immediately. If in any billing period, we are not able to collect Unpaid Fees from your account through Pending Payments or your payment method on file the full amount owed us we reserve the right to charge your payment method on file for fees associated with specific matches or transactions that occurred on our site. If payment by bank account is not received for any reason, a fee of N2000 will be added to the total amount owed to MOOV. If in any billing period, we are not able to collect Unpaid Fees from your account through Pending Payments or your payment method on file, MOOV may charge your account a penalty of N3000 if the payment owed is 30 days past due, N 5000 if the payment owed is 60 days past due, and N10,000 if the payment owed is 90 days past due.
In addition, MOOV may charge interest, in the amount of 5% per month or fraction thereof, on any unpaid account balance that you maintain. Any partial payments made to members’ account balances will first be applied to the most recent fees owed us. If at any time after 30 days we cannot collect any fees owed to us, we may suspend or terminate your account or, at our discretion, put your account into the MOOV Financial Probation Program, which allows you to continue to place bids and win business in the MOOV marketplace while being subjected to a higher match fee (currently 10.0%) that is paid directly to us by the Shipping Customer as a deposit prior to the Shipping Customer accepting a bid from You. This deposit reduces the money that you may collect from the Shipping Customer by the exact amount of the deposit paid by the Shipping Customer. If you subsequently pay off your entire balance owed to MOOV, you may be removed from the MOOV Financial Probation Program. MOOV reserves the right to waive or change our fees, penalties, or interest at any time. MOOV also reserves the right to prevent you from making any new transactions until you have paid all Unpaid Fees. You also agree to pay any attorney fees, and other costs of collection incurred by us with respect to any Unpaid Fees. You also consent and authorize us to in our sole discretion make appropriate reports to 3rd party credit collection agencies, credit reporting agencies, financial institutions, tax agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with them in any resulting investigation or prosecution.
9. Bid Cancellations and Account Credits
A “Cancellation” occurs when either party has to cancel AFTER a bid was accepted on MOOV but BEFORE any services are performed. After a bid is accepted and the two parties communicate directly, occasionally one or both of the parties determine that they cannot complete the transaction. Cancellations should only be requested after reasonable attempts have been made to reach an agreeable solution and it is certain that the services that were booked on MOOV will not be performed. When you request a cancellation, the other party will be notified and will have 24 hours to respond by either:
⟨ a ⟩accepting the cancellation and your reason;
⟨ b ⟩accepting the cancellation but providing their own reason and/or comments; or
⟨ c ⟩disputing the reason for cancellation and requesting review by MOOV staff
If your Request for Cancellation is accepted by the other party, the Bid will be canceled and the shipment can either be relisted or deleted. If your Request is disputed by the other member, then the Request will be sent to MOOV and a determination will be made on allowing or not allowing the Cancellation. If the other party does not respond within the 24 hour period, the cancellation and reason will be automatically accepted (Case a).
The shipping customer deposit and/or the Bid (Auction) Service Charge will be applied as a credit to the shipping customer's MOOV account for all canceled shipments booked using the Booking Deposit payment method. An automatic refund for the 95% accepted bid price and a credit equal to the Auction Service Fee plus 5% of the accepted bid price will be issued for all canceled MOOV Payments transactions paid by debit or Credit Card or bank wire/transfer. Credits may be applied toward booking the same or any other shipment within 90 days of the original cancellation date. The remaining 95% of the bid price will be refunded in full. A full refund of the accepted bid price and Bid (Auction) Service Fee will be issued for all canceled MOOV Payments transactions paid by a bank account. A refund can only be given if payment has not been released to the TSP. If the TSP has been paid, then the funds are no longer in MOOV’s possession. The customer must first acquire a refund from the TSP before completing a cancellation on MOOV.
Every member is allowed 1 free cancellation for every 10 Bids (10%) on MOOV. Each Excessive Cancellation, above the 10% threshold, is considered to be excessive, or above the marketplace norm and will be displayed in the member's profile. MOOV will determine the excessive cancellation/bid rate based on both the TSP’s previous 12 month cancellation rate as well as their lifetime cancellation rate on MOOV. Only if both rates are above 10% will the TSP receive excessive cancellations. TSPs that have excessive cancellations may be charged higher match fees than other TSPs. To determine the excessive cancellation surcharge we will use the lower percentage of the previous 12 month or lifetime cancellation rate. For example, if a TSP has a lifetime cancellation rate of 15% and a past 12 month rate of 20%, then the user will have an excessive cancellation rate of 15%. Cancellations do not affect the overall feedback score or the % positive.
TSPs that have Excessive Cancellations at the time a bid is placed will have a variable surcharge added to their bid fee, in proportion to their current ratio of cancellations to bids. The fee schedule is as follows:
Excessive Cancellation Surcharge Schedule
| Cancellations/Match Rate | Bid Fee Surcharge |
|---|---|
| 0-10% | No Additional Fee |
| 10.1-15% | 10% |
| 15.1-20% | 12% |
| 20.1-25% | 14% |
| 25.1-30% | 16% |
| 30.1-40% | 18% |
| 40.1+% | 20%% |
For example, when a TSP who has 93 matching bids and 15 cancellations places a bid, their cancellation rate is calculated at 15% (Matched shipments are always rounded up to the nearest 10, or 100 total in this example). Thus, this TSP would have a 10% surcharge added to their bid fee amount (i.e., if their match fee was previously N50 it will now be N55 because of the 10% surcharge).
MOOV takes abuse of the Cancellation process seriously. This includes submitting false or exaggerated reasons, attempting to cancel bids that have already occurred or are expected to occur, or colluding with other members to abuse the process. A member that is found to be abusing the process will automatically have their cancellation request denied, may be subject to additional fees and penalties, and may have their account immediately suspended or deleted.
10. No Agency
You hereby agree and acknowledge that your execution of this Agreement, your provision of services and/or your use of the MOOV website, does not confer or imply any contractor (independent or otherwise), agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship with us and furthermore that no affiliation, association or connection exists between you and us.
11. Release
Should you have a dispute with one or more MOOV users, you release MOOV, its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
12. Shipping
As a shipping customer, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the TSP if you accept the TSP's bid, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by this Agreement. By accepting a TSP's bid, you agree to be bound by the conditions of the bid included in the bid details so long as those trip details are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Acceptance generally is not retractable unless:
⟨ 1 ⟩the TSP materially changes the bid details after your acceptance;
⟨ 2 ⟩a typographical error is made; or
⟨ 3 ⟩you cannot authenticate the TSP's identity or credentials (see “Bid Cancellations and Refunds” above for more details). The TSP reserves the right to inspect your shipment before accepting it, and to refuse to transport any item prohibited by this Agreement or by law. We recommend that you do not seal any package before inspection by the TSP.
IMPORTANT: MOOV does not screen or qualify TSPs for compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations. It is recommended that you confirm such compliance directly with the TSP before services are rendered by the TSP.
13. Prohibited and Restricted Items
⟨ a ⟩ Prohibited Items: Hazardous or dangerous goods. These are items that may pose a danger to health, safety, or property while being transported (such as explosives, radioactive materials, flammable gases and solids, and toxic substances). Hazardous goods that cannot be shipped through the mail or commercial carrier are not allowed on MOOV. The few hazardous materials that lawfully may be transported under certain conditions (if they are properly packaged and labeled) may be listed on MOOV - provided that the listing contains a clear notice of the hazardous nature of the material and a description of the planned method of shipping that complies with the law. For details on particular hazardous substances and transportation requirements in the Nigeria, see the Postal Service Publication. For details on particular hazardous substances and transportation requirements outside of the Nigeria, please consult your local postal authority and/or regulatory agency.
⟨ 2 ⟩ Restricted Items: Prohibited regulated or perishable goods. These are items considered restricted or perishable by the Postal Service which generally do not pose a danger to health, safety, or property while being transported, but their transport is regulated or banned for public policy reasons. Generally, restricted or perishable items that can lawfully be transported by mail or commercial carrier are permitted on MOOV (see Postal Service Publication for additional details). Full responsibility rests with the sender to comply with all postal and non-postal laws and regulations that relate to the mailing of hazardous, restricted and perishable material. Anyone who sends, or causes to be sent, a non-mailable or improperly packaged hazardous material can be subject to legal penalties (i.e., fines and/or imprisonment), including but not limited to those specified by law.
14. Transportation
You must legally be able to transport the shipments you bid on. You agree that it is your sole obligation to comply with all laws, rules, statutes and regulations that may apply including any and all local, state and federal licensing requirements. You must describe your offer and all terms of your services on the bid submittal form on our site. You acknowledge that the MOOV website exists for members to make a fully informed decision about your bids, services offering, policies and procedures. Therefore, you shall disclose to every member that you attempt to do business with your services offerings and relevant policies, procedures and fees that you will charge, including, but not limited to, taxes and/or other service charges. In the event, that you charge "extra fees" (and we are made aware of this fact), MOOV reserves the right to suspend or cancel your account at our sole discretion. Your bid may only include content relevant to the description of your transportation services. If you bid on any shipment and your bid is accepted by the shipping customer, you are obligated to perform the services offered in your bid at the accepted bid price. You authorize MOOV to charge the MOOV bid fee to your account when the shipping customer accepts your bid (see Fees). We are not responsible for the accuracy of this information. We recommend that you verify with the shipping customer the information that we provide.
15. Local Government Rates, Levies and Taxes
Some states and their local government councils, require that all TSPs passing through their roads register and pay certain rates, levies or taxes. While some of these rates, levies and taxes are acceptable in other states some are purely local and peculiar to the issuing state or local councils. TSPs must determine and comply with applicable local rates, levies and taxes applicable to any route they operate as non-compliance, which may lead to fines and other sanctions should in no way affect the bid rate agreed with a member. Certain rates, levies or taxes may involve movements only within one state. A number of states have statutes and regulations pertaining to such intrastate transportation. We suggest you check with the state Ministry of Transport or local council you operate from, through and to.
16. Account Flagging System
The MOOV site is self-policed by the MOOV community via a flagging system. The flagging system is used to communicate the policies of the MOOV User Agreement and Flagging Policies. MOOV members are able to ‘flag' certain texts that do not comply with this Agreement or the Flagging Policies. White flags are located in areas that are able to be flagged, including: shipment Q&A forum, the bid details section, user profiles, and shipment listing information. To flag text, community members click on the white flag following the text in question. After agreeing that the text you are flagging violates the MOOV User Agreement or Flagging Policies the white flag will turn yellow. A yellow flag is sent to the MOOV team for review. After review, the MOOV team will either ‘green flag' the text, meaning there was no violation, or ‘red flag' the text, meaning there was a violation and the content has been removed. A MOOV member who receives a red flag on three separate occasions is subject to suspension of their account.
17. Information You Submit
You solely, are responsible for any information you provide to us or other users in the registration, shipping, or transportation process. Your personal information and any shipment or trip listings must be true, legal, accurate, and non-fraudulent.
⟨ a ⟩ You may not provide contact information to other members for the purpose of bypassing MOOV transaction fees.
⟨ b ⟩ Information may not contain any viruses or other malware that may damage or interfere with our website and mobile application.

⟨ a ⟩ Fees - You shall NOT:
⟨ a ⟩ Manipulating Rating - You acknowledge and agree that the MOOV website or mobile application is a neutral venue and that all transactions for services are made by and between you and other members only and, therefore, we cannot, do not and will not make any comments on behalf of you or your services.

Therefore, in order to preserve the key component and integrity of the site, you shall NOT:
19. Off-Site Communications
MOOV prohibits offers by its members to transport listed shipments, or to offer listed shipments for transport, outside of the MOOV site. Offers of this nature circumvent MOOV's fee structure and are a potential fraud risk for both shipping customers and TSPs. Some examples of off-site offers include:
20. Posting in the Community
MOOV reserves the right to edit, amend, or delete any information posted on the site if, in the sole opinion of MOOV, the posting contains language that is vulgar, obscene, inflammatory, illegal, irrelevant, or in violation of any section of this User Agreement or our Community Rules and Guidelines, which has detailed information about what postings we deem unacceptable.

27. No Felony Convictions
You represent and warrant that you, and any individuals associated with you who will perform the services, have not been convicted of a felony.

28. Unsolicited Idea Submission
We always want to receive messages and feedback from MOOV members and welcome any comments regarding the MOOV marketplace. However, MOOV policy does not allow us to accept or consider ideas, suggestions, or proposals other than those we specifically request. The intent of this policy is to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when new functionality and features developed internally by MOOV might be similar or even identical to your idea.
If you do send MOOV an unsolicited suggestion, idea, or proposal, or if you send, at the request of MOOV, a comment or suggestion to improve the MOOV Marketplace (for example, through Discussion Boards or via email) (collectively, the "Submission"), MOOV will consider the Submission to be non-confidential and non-proprietary. MOOV shall have no obligations concerning the Submission, contractual or otherwise (including but not limited to an obligation to keep the Submission confidential), and shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submission. MOOV shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you.
29. Identity Verification
We use techniques to help verify the identity of TSPs when they register on our website through the moov.com.ng domain, sub-domains or mobile application; however, MOOV cannot and will not confirm each Service Provider's identity. We have implemented a user-managed feedback system to help you evaluate other members you are transacting with.
30. Resolving Rating Disputes
To maintain the integrity of the rating system, comments left for a member is a permanent part of that member's profile. Comments cannot be edited at a later date. Members should resolve any misunderstandings prior to leaving comments since most misunderstandings can and are resolved quickly through direct communication. There may be times when you are unhappy with, disagree with, or regret comments that you left for another member, or that may have been left for you. If you have a disagreement over comments that has been left, you have options to respond.
