These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding and legal agreement between you and Intermodal Pool that govern your right to use the websites, applications, forms, and other offerings from Intermodal Pool (collectively, the “Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Intermodal Pool,” “IMP,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Intermodal Pool LLC.
The IMP Platform offers an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book “Equipment” and “Services.” Members who publish and offer Equipment or Services are “Vendors” and Members who search for, book, or use Equipment or Services are “Customers.” You must register an account to access and use many features of the Platform, and you must keep your account information accurate. As the provider of the Platform, Intermodal Pool does not own, control, offer or manage any Listings or Vendor Services. IMP is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Vendors and Customers. IMP is not acting as an agent for any Member except as expressly stated for limited payment collection purposes as described in these Terms of Use.
We maintain other policies that supplement these Terms like our Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data.
If you are a Vendor, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to your Vendor Services.

If we provide the capability to do so through our Platform, you may be able to register to become a Member by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites (“3PS”), such as Facebook. Each 3PS account is referred to as a “Third-Party Account”. If we provide such functionality of the Platform, you may link your Intermodal Pool Account with Third-Party Accounts. This may occur if you: (i) provide your Third-Party Account login information to Intermodal Pool through the Platform; or (ii) allow Intermodal Pool to access your Third-Party Account (however, you will be limited by the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account).

You may not have more than one (1) active Intermodal Pool Account.

Members should have no expectation that communications transmitted through the Platform will remain private from Intermodal Pool.
Vendor Profile
Once you are registered as a Member, each Vendor shall create its Vendor Profile. As a Vendor, you will provide information regarding the Equipment or your Services. The characteristics of the available Equipment, availability, size, capacity, location hours of operation, pre and post trip requirements, the Reservation Fee, rules and regulations, types of insurance and certificates of insurance required from Customers, and other aspects regarding the available Equipment or Services. Once created, the Vendor Profile will be publicly available via the Platform and search results may place or rank your Vendor Profile depending upon many factors. To be fair to all Members, you agree that once a Customer requests a Reservation, you may not ask the Customer to pay a higher price than listed in the Vendor Profile.
As a Vendor, you agree that you, and not Intermodal Pool, are responsible for your Vendor Profile, including any Member Contributions that you may post. As a Vendor, you represent and warrant to Intermodal Pool that your Vendor Profile and any Reservation for Equipment or Services (i) will not breach any agreements made by you with third parties (e.g., your landlord, lender, equipment provider, or other third party agreements), and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and rules, Tax requirements, intellectual property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Equipment or Services included in your Vendor Profile (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Intermodal Pool assumes no responsibility for Vendor’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. This Website facilitates transactions between businesses for business purposes. This Platform is not intended to be used by consumers for home or consumer-related purposes. Intermodal Pool reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Vendor Profile for any reason, including those that Intermodal Pool, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms of Use, or is otherwise harmful to the Platform. Any agreement that a Vendor enters into with a Customer for Equipment or Services is an agreement solely between Vendor and Customer and Intermodal Pool is not a party to that agreement.
Although Intermodal Pool may, directly or through third parties, ask you to provide personal information to help verify identity to Intermodal Pool, Intermodal Pool does not obtain such information or verifications for the benefit of Members; Vendors and Customers are required to provide accurate information, perform their own due diligence on Vendors, Customers, Equipment, and Services and Intermodal Pool is not responsible for any inaccuracies, misrepresentations, or omissions made by any Member.
No Duty to Verify. Intermodal Pool has no obligation to investigate, verify, validate, monitor, or guarantee the identity, authority, ownership, licensing, insurance coverage, legal compliance, financial condition, qualifications, equipment condition, regulatory status, or representations of any Member, Vendor, Customer, Equipment, Service, document, or transaction. Any information, review, approval, verification, screening, onboarding activity, document review, insurance review, FMCSA or DOT lookup, compliance review, or other action performed by Intermodal Pool is conducted solely for Intermodal Pool's internal business purposes and shall not be relied upon by any Member as a representation, warranty, certification, or guarantee of any kind.
Automated Review of Documents and Compliance Information. Intermodal Pool may, but is not obligated to, review, analyze, process, classify, extract data from, or otherwise evaluate Certificates of Insurance (“COIs”), insurance policies, endorsements, W-9 forms, business records, compliance documents, and other information submitted by Members. Such activities may be performed by Intermodal Pool personnel, third-party service providers, artificial intelligence systems, machine learning systems, optical character recognition systems, automated workflows, or other technologies.
Any review, approval, rejection, analysis, extraction, classification, verification, or processing performed by Intermodal Pool is conducted solely for Intermodal Pool's internal business purposes and not for the benefit of any Member.
Intermodal Pool does not provide legal advice, insurance advice, underwriting services, compliance services, risk management services, or professional advice of any kind. Intermodal Pool does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, authenticity, validity, enforceability, adequacy, sufficiency, or continued effectiveness of any document or insurance coverage.
Members remain solely responsible for verifying insurance coverage, policy terms, endorsements, compliance requirements, legal obligations, and all information contained in any submitted document.
Vendor agrees that Intermodal Pool does not provide insurance, act as an insurer and Intermodal Pool is not Vendor’s agent. When Vendor creates or modifies its Vendor Profile, Vendor may specify certain requirements that must be satisfied by a Customer before Vendor will allow the Reservation of Equipment or Service and any Customer wishing to Reserve such Equipment or Service must satisfy Vendor’s requirements to Vendor’s sole satisfaction.
Intermodal Pool highly recommends that Vendors obtain appropriate insurance coverage for their Equipment and business, including but not limited to general and commercial liability as well as total Loss coverage arising from the use of Equipment by Customers. Vendors will want to consult with their insurance agents to determine that they have the proper coverage, including knowing the exclusions and deductibles that may apply. Intermodal Pool recommends that, at a minimum, Vendor maintains and carries the following types and amounts of insurance:
- (i) Motor truck cargo/terminal coverage with limits of not less than $100,000 per unit and per occurrence,
- (ii) Commercial General Liability policy of insurance (“CGL”) protecting Vendor and Intermodal Pool as an additional insured against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Equipment. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than $2,000,000 with excess liability on following form basis of $2,000,000;
- (iii) Workers compensation in statutory amounts; and
- (iv) Primary automobile liability insurance (“Auto”) with limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit covering owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used by Vendor.
The policies shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under these Terms of Use an “insured contract” for the performance of Vendor’s indemnity obligations under these Terms of Use. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Vendor nor relieve Vendor of any obligation hereunder. Vendor shall provide an endorsement on its liability policies which provides that its insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Intermodal Pool, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only. Insurance required herein shall be by companies maintaining during the policy term a “General Policyholders Rating” of at least A-, VII, as set forth in the most current issue of “Best's Insurance Guide,” or such other rating as may be required by a lender. Vendor shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required insurance policies.
By using the Platform, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek for claims against other Members or third parties will be limited to such Members or third parties whom you believed caused the harm which led to your claim, and there will be no recourse against Intermodal Pool. You agree that you will not attempt to impose liability whatsoever or seek any legal or equitable recourse against Intermodal Pool regarding such claims.
Reservations/Financial Terms
Intermodal Pool charges Vendors a Service Fee for the use of the Platform. Customers must pay all Reservation Fees through the Platform via Stripe. Intermodal Pool collects such payments solely as a limited payment collection agent for the applicable Vendor. After Customer has made such payment for the Reservation Fee to Intermodal Pool through Customer’s Stripe account, the IMP Fee is deducted from Reservation Fee by Intermodal Pool and the remaining balance is then disbursed to the Vendor through Stripe. Vendor is solely responsible for determining, charging, collecting, reporting, and remitting any and all Taxes applicable to a Reservation or Reservation Agreement. Vendors will receive a communication of the Reservation details. If a Vendor or Customer makes any modifications to the Reservation in accordance with the terms set forth herein, then Vendor and Customer agree to pay any changed or additional Reservation Fees and IMP Fees and Vendor agrees that any changed or additional IMP Fees shall be paid to Intermodal Pool. Vendor and Customer agree that any applicable Taxes collected by Vendor shall be paid by Vendor to the applicable Taxing authority.
Payment Collection Agent. Intermodal Pool acts solely as a limited payment collection agent for Vendors. Receipt of payment by Intermodal Pool satisfies the Customer’s payment obligation to the applicable Vendor. Intermodal Pool does not act as the seller, lessor, or retailer of Equipment or Services. Customer acknowledges that Intermodal Pool may appear on Customer’s bank or card statements as the payment processor or payment collection agent for Vendors.
Vendors. If you are a Vendor and a Customer submits a Reservation Request for your Equipment or Service, you must either (i) accept, which will be the Confirmed Reservation; or (ii) reject the Reservation Request. If Vendors do not confirm, or decide to reject, a Reservation Request, or if Customer cancels its Reservation Request (e.g., because Vendor has not accepted or rejected), then no payment shall be made by Customer to Intermodal Pool. When a Vendor confirms a Reservation Request, Intermodal Pool will send Customer a Communication of such Confirmed Reservation. Pursuant to the Confirmed Reservation, Vendor and Customer enter into a Reservation Agreement for the Equipment or Service. Vendor agrees that Intermodal Pool is not a party to the Reservation Agreement, that Vendor alone is responsible for its contents, terms and conditions (regardless of whether Vendor chooses to use Intermodal Pool’s forms or templates, if provided) and for performing the obligations of Vendor, and that Customer alone is responsible for performing the obligations of Customer, under the Reservation Agreement. Intermodal Pool disclaims all liability with respect to any Reservation Agreement, regardless of whether Intermodal Pool has provided forms or templates for use in connection with the Platform.
Upon the Vendor’s Reservation Confirmation, Customer will initiate payment of the Reservation Fees to Intermodal Pool. Each Vendor expressly authorizes Intermodal Pool's service provider, Stripe, to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account. Each Vendor further authorizes Intermodal Pool to take any actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the transfer of funds in accordance with these Terms of Use, the Website, and the Reservation Agreement.
Customers. Customers agree that Vendor Profiles are posted by Vendors and that Vendors are solely responsible for honoring Confirmed Reservations and making the Equipment or Services available to the Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer enters into the Reservation Agreement with the Vendor, and not with Intermodal Pool. Customer agrees that Intermodal Pool is not a party to the Reservation Agreement, that Customer alone is responsible for performing the obligations of Customer, and that Vendor alone is responsible for the content of, and for performing the obligations of Vendor, under the Reservation Agreement (regardless of whether Vendor chooses to use Intermodal Pool’s forms or templates, if provided). Customers agree that they will abide by the terms and conditions contained in the Reservation Agreement, as well as any rules and regulations specified by the Vendor regarding the access to and use of the Equipment or Service. This Platform facilitates transactions between businesses for business purposes. This Platform is not intended to be used by consumers for home or consumer-related purposes. Accordingly, Equipment shall not be included in any Vendor Profile, or used, for any criminal or immoral purposes, or, unless otherwise set forth in the Reservation Agreement, used for habitation, for cooking or sleeping purposes, or for any consumer-related purposes. Intermodal Pool disclaims all liability with respect to any Reservation Agreement.
The Website will display to a potential Customer the Reservation Fees payable before the potential Customer sends a Reservation Request to a Vendor by clicking the “Purchase” (or similar) button. Vendor is required to either confirm or reject the Reservation Request via the Platform. If Vendor does not confirm or reject a Reservation Request, then at any time prior to Vendor’s acceptance/confirmation or rejection of Customer’s Reservation Request, Customer may cancel its Reservation Request and no payment shall be made by Customer to Intermodal Pool. Depending on how a Vendor chooses to charge for their equipment, ongoing charges may be processed on the Customer’s payment method of choice. By sending a Reservation Request, Customer is agreeing to allow Vendor to process ongoing daily payments for any unreturned Equipment. Customer will be given no less than 24 hours to dispute any daily charges that will be processed.
Customer agrees to pay the Reservation Fees for any Confirmed Reservation. Upon the Vendor’s Confirmed Reservation, Customer’s payment of the Reservation Fees will be made to Intermodal Pool via Stripe. When your Confirmed Reservation transaction is complete, Customer will receive a Communication summarizing your Confirmed Reservation.
In order to use the Stripe payment functionality of the Intermodal Pool Website, you must open a Stripe account provided by Stripe and you must accept the Stripe Terms and Privacy Policy. Any funds held in the Stripe account are held by Stripes financial institution partners as set out in the Stripe Terms.

Cancellations and Refunds
Customer may cancel a Confirmed Reservation by submitting a written request to [email protected] no later than twenty four (24) hours prior to the start date of the Reservation and in such event the Reservation Fee shall be refunded to Customer. Any cancellations to a Confirmed Reservation less than 24 hours prior to the start date will not be subject to a refund. In such event, the Customer shall owe the full amount of the Reservation Fee for the Confirmed Reservation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of recurring monthly or weekly Reservation (as may be set forth in the Confirmed Reservation), a Customer must provide notice of cancellation no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the first day of the following month or week, respectively. Failure to provide such notice will result in Customer being responsible for the full monthly or weekly Reservation Fee, as relevant, for the following month or week, respectively.
Vendors are not entitled to cancel a Confirmed Reservation, but must honor the same.
Any refunds or credits shall be settled solely between Vendor and Customer and Intermodal Pool shall not be obligated whatsoever with respect thereto. Intermodal Pool shall serve as a third-party facilitator of any refund or credit agreed upon between Vendor and Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, Intermodal Pool shall in no event be liable for any refund or credit agreed upon by and between Vendor and Customer.
In certain circumstances, Intermodal Pool may decide, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a Confirmed Reservation made via the Platform or that a Customer will be refunded all or a portion of the amounts charged to the Customer. In such events, Vendors agree that neither Intermodal Pool nor Customer will have any liability for such cancellations or refunds.
The Customer and Vendor acknowledge and agree that credit card fees paid in relation to a reservation are non-refundable. In the event that a credit card fee was charged for a reservation, and the reservation was, at a later time, refunded, the [Customer or Vendor] shall be liable for the original credit card fee.
Taxes
Applicable tax laws may require that Intermodal Pool collect certain tax information from Vendors and provide the same to the taxing authorities, withhold Taxes from remittances to Vendors, or do both. For example, that may include an IRS Form W-9 and/or similar State forms. Vendors are solely responsible for maintaining accurate, current and correct information on tax forms. If a Vendor fails to submit the appropriate documentation to Intermodal Pool, we may freeze all remittances to Vendor, withhold any amounts required by applicable law, or do both.
Various governmental agencies, including but not limited to where the Vendor is located, may require that Taxes be collected from Vendors or Customers which is usually, but not necessarily, a percentage of the amount paid for the use of the Equipment. Intermodal Pool is not an agent for Vendor, nor does Intermodal Pool provide tax advice to Vendor, Customer, any Member or any other user of the Platform. Vendors and Customers are solely responsible to determine their applicable Tax reporting requirements, the amount of Taxes that should be included relating to the applicable Taxes specified in Vendor Profiles and for remitting to the relevant taxing authority such applicable Taxes that are due and payable by Vendor or Customer.
Intermodal Pool does not calculate, assess, or remit sales, use, or similar transaction-based Taxes on behalf of Vendors.
Damage
Customer agrees that (i) it is solely responsible for its own, as well as its employees, agents, guests, invitees, or visitors, actions or omissions, including but not limited to theft, personal injury or death or property damage; (ii) it shall return the Equipment in the same condition it was in when the Customer received it. If a Vendor makes a claim that the Customer violated the foregoing requirements, Customer agrees to pay the cost of repairing, replacing and restoring the Vendor’s Equipment damaged or stolen by Customer, its employees, agents, guests, invitees or visitors (“Repair”). Additionally, Customer agrees that claims under Customer’s insurance policies may be made related to any such damages, destruction or Repair and Customer agrees to provide Vendor (and to Intermodal Pool, upon its request) with such information as may be necessary in order to make such a claim, and Customer shall take such acts as may be reasonably requested to make and further such claim. Vendor and Customer agree that any claim regarding damages or destruction of the Vendor’s Equipment, any dispute regarding Repairs, shall be solely between Vendor and Customer; and Vendor and Customer each hereby release Intermodal Pool Parties which shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever with respect thereto. Each of Vendor and Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold Intermodal Pool Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses in any way arising out of or regarding damages or destruction of the Vendor’s Equipment or Repairs. Intermodal Pool highly recommends that Customers obtain appropriate insurance coverage and consult with their insurance agents to determine that they have the proper coverage, including knowing the exclusions and deductibles that may apply.
Holdover
Customer agrees that a Reservation Agreement is merely a revocable license granted by the Vendor to Customer, whereby Vendor makes the Equipment available to Customer for the limited time period, and under other terms and conditions as specified in the Confirmed Reservation and Reservation Agreement. As such Customer agrees that it is not entitled to use the Equipment prior to the start date, or beyond the end date, unless Vendor and Customer enter into a Reservation Agreement for the additional time, with the appropriate additional Reservation Fees having been paid through the Platform. This is because, in part, Vendor may have entered into other Reservation Agreements for the license of the Equipment to other users to commence prior to the start date or after the end date. If Customer keeps the Equipment beyond the end date of a Reservation (such overstay, a “Holdover”), then Customer no longer has the license granted under the Reservation Agreement, which license terminated upon the end date and Vendor is entitled under the Reservation Agreement and applicable law to demand immediate return of Equipment by Customer. Vendor may also charge Customer the average daily Reservation Fee or an elevated holdover rate for each additional day after the End Date, plus all applicable IMP Fees, Taxes and any other legal expenses incurred by Vendor to enforce the terms of the Reservation Agreement. Customer agrees that if reserved Equipment is not returned as of the End Date specified in the Reservation Confirmation, Vendor has the right, without further notice to or consent of Customer, to adjust the End Date within a period of ten (10) days after reserved Equipment is returned to the Vendor in order to obtain payment from Customer of such additional Reservation Fees for any additional days beyond the original End Date. In the event of a Holdover, Intermodal Pool shall be entitled to payment of the IMP Fee, as calculated based upon the additional days beyond the original End Date.
If Customer returns the Equipment prior to the originally scheduled End Date under a Reservation Agreement, there will be no refund for any unused days in the original Confirmed Reservation.
Any refunds or credits shall be settled solely between Vendor and Customer and Intermodal Pool shall not be obligated whatsoever with respect thereto. Intermodal Pool shall serve as a third-party facilitator of any refund or credit agreed upon between Vendor and Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, Intermodal Pool shall in no event be liable for any refund or credit agreed upon by and between Vendor and Customer.

Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Intermodal Pool Parties from and against any and all Losses, including but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use, your use of the Platform, including, but not limited to, your Member Contributions, your interaction with any User, your creation of your Vendor Profile, your Reservation of Equipment or Services, the use of any Equipment or Services, any use of the Platform’s Content, services, and products, your use of any templates or forms (e.g., Reservation Agreements, etc.) that may be provided by Intermodal Pool, your use of any payment or payout methods provided by third party service providers such as Stripe, credit card or debit card vendors or processors, or your use of any information obtained from the Platform.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Platform and these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Arizona without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Arizona or any other jurisdiction).
You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Arizona, in each case located in the County of Maricopa, for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to, prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Arbitration Agreement
Please read this arbitration agreement contained in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It affects your rights. Most of your concerns about these Terms of Use can be addressed simply by contacting us at [email protected]. In the unlikely event we cannot resolve any disputes, including any claims under these Terms of Use, that you or we may have, you and we agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration. You and we agree that any arbitration will take place on an individual basis only. You and we agree to waive the right to a trial by jury, to participate in private attorney general actions, class arbitrations and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. It has more limited discovery than in court and is subject to limited review by courts.
For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “we”, “us” and “our” refers to Intermodal Pool, and its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, service contract insurers, agents, employees, successors and assigns. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use.
This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly, and it includes any dispute: (1) arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or to the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise; (2) that arose either before this Arbitration Agreement was entered into by you and us or that arises after this Arbitration Agreement or Agreement is terminated; and (3) that currently is the subject of a purported class action litigation in which you are not a Member of a certified class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing an individual action in small claims court or from informing any federal, state or local agencies or entities of your dispute. Such agencies or entities may be able to seek relief on your behalf.
If you or we intend to seek arbitration you and we must first send to the other a written Notice of Claim (“Notice”) by certified mail. Your Notice to us must contain your address to which all communications from us and our attorneys and agents regarding your claim may be sent and must be addressed to: 1801 E Camelback Rd Ste 102/1160 Phoenix, AZ 85016, Attn: Jordan Theobald. Our notice to you will be addressed to the address you have specified in your Notice, or if none is specified in your Notice, then as specified in your on your Account registration, or if you have not registered for an Account, to your residence, place of business, or such other address as you indicate to us, or that we are able to find for you using reasonable diligence. The Notice must describe the dispute and state the specific relief sought. If you and we do not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, you or we may initiate an arbitration proceeding with Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (“JAMS”) office in Maricopa County, Arizona. Such dispute is to be resolved via binding arbitration conducted by single arbitrator under JAMS' streamlined arbitration rules, without any third-party discovery. You can obtain the forms necessary to initiate an arbitration proceeding by visiting www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. With respect to the cost of the arbitration, if you initiate arbitration against us, you must pay all costs of arbitration, including but not limited to the JAMS Case Management Fee required by JAMS and the arbitrator’s professional fees.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Maricopa County, Arizona. Each party shall bear its own attorneys fees’ and expenses, including but not limited to costs of expert witnesses.
At the conclusion of the arbitration hearings, the arbitrator shall issue an “Arbitrator’s Award” consisting of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim and which includes an explanation of the essential findings and conclusions on which the Arbitrator’s Award is based. You and we agree not to disclose any settlement offers to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has issued the written decision. Judgment on the Arbitration Award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. To the extent either declaratory or injunctive relief is sought in the arbitration, such relief can be awarded only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by a party's individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ANY CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM. The arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any class action or make any award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all of part of this Class Action Wavier is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE AND BE A PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, HOWEVER, THEY UNDERSTAND AND INSTEAD CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY, THROUGH ARBITRATION.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the dispute of another person with your or our dispute and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver shall be null and void.
If Intermodal Pool changes this “Arbitration Agreement” section after the date you last accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes hereto), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of our Communication to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any claim or dispute between you and Intermodal Pool in accordance with the provisions of this “Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
Limitation on Time to File Claims

By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are located in the United States and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree that you will not use the Platform for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver of by Intermodal Pool of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Intermodal Pool to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
The exercise by a party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy under these Terms of Use or applicable law.
Entire Agreement; No Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries
The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Intermodal Pool regarding the Platform and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Platform. You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Use without the prior written consent of Intermodal Pool, which consent may be given or not in its sole and absolute discretion.

Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Use shall inure to the benefit, and bind, the parties hereto, and their successors and assigns. There are no third party beneficiaries to these Terms of Use.
Failed Payments

After this attempt, it is solely the Vendor’s responsibility to enforce payment of uncollected fees and/or block Customer from using Equipment or Services.
Disputes
If a Customer disputes any charge made on the Intermodal Pool Website and the dispute results in a chargeback, the Vendor agrees to return any funds paid out related to the disputed charge to Intermodal Pool including any fees assessed by the payment processor.
