IT IS UP TO THE THIRD PARTY DRIVER OR VEHICLE OPERATOR TO OFFER AND PROVIDE THE PICK-UP, CARRY AND DELIVERY SERVICES, WHICH MAY BE SCHEDULED THROUGH USE OF OUR APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES. DIVCO OFFERS INFORMATION AND A METHOD TO OBTAIN THE PICK-UP, CARRY AND DELIVERY SERVICES, BUT DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OR ACT IN ANY WAY AS A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. DIVCO HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY PICK-UP, CARRY AND DELIVERY SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU THROUGH OUR APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES OR FOR ANY DRIVER OR CLIENT NOT HAVING THE PROPER AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION. Our Services Unite Drivers and Clients Our Applications and Services make possible a connection between those individuals and/or businesses that want to contract with someone to pick-up, carry and/or deliver personal property and goods (“Clients“) and those individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform the pick-up, carrying and delivery services requested by a Client (“Drivers“). The performance of pick-up, carrying and delivery services by a Driver, the time period in which these services are performed by a Driver, as well as the item(s) of personal property and goods being picked-up, carried and/or delivered by a Driver, are collectively referred to as a “Job.” Drivers and Clients together are referred to as “Users“. Driver Screening Drivers accepting certain Jobs are required to be screened via a standard background check conducted by our chosen third-party, Checkr (CRA). The Divco Background Check Process consists of a standard background check and Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) report, and does not include a credit check. Once the Driver passes the Divco Background Check Process the Driver will become a Certified Driver. Upon registration as a Driver with the Divco App, you consent to Divco having our CRA conduct the Divco Background Check Process on you, as and when determined is our sole discretion, including when you accept a Job. In order to pass our Driver screening, Drivers must have: - A valid, active drivers license. - A minimum of one year U.S. licensing history and be at least 21 years old. - No major moving violations, such as DUIs or reckless driving, in the past seven years. - No more than three minor moving violations, such as speeding tickets or failure to obey traffic laws, in the past three years. - No cell phone or distracted driving violations in the past year. - No more than two accidents in the past three years. - A background check that does not include violent crime, felony, sexual offense, or drug-related convictions. We do not charge our Drivers for the Divco Background Check Process. The Divco Background Check Process performed on any Driver shall not be taken as confirmation that such Driver is who they claim to be. The Divco Background Check Process is conducted by Checkr and Divco has no responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of the identity or background check information or any information regarding a Driver provided through our Services or Applications. Client Screening Divco does not conduct screening or background checks on any Client for the purposes of allowing them to use our Applications or Services. Notwithstanding the above, Divco reserves the right to begin conducting such checks and screening of all Users at any time as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including but not limited to verification of identities, criminal and other background checks (at the Country, State and local level as we deem necessary or appropriate). Divco also reserves all rights to use such third party services to run such checks and processes as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion. By registering and using the Services or the Applications, each User consents to Divco conducting one or multiple screening process(es) and/or background check(s) on such User or other Users that Divco deems advisable or necessary, and as otherwise may be required for compliance with federal and state laws and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Any screening or background check process is not a substitute for your good judgment when interacting with other Users. ALL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN USERS ARE AT THE USER’S RISK WHETHER OR NOT DIVCO CONDUCTS A BACKGROUND CHECK ON A USER OR ANY CATEGORY OF USER. Restrictions on Job Contents Divco Prohibited Items All Clients are prohibited from including in any Job, and all Drivers are prohibited from knowingly accepting, picking-up, carrying or delivering any Job containing the following items: - Cigarettes or any tobacco product, wine, beer or any other alcoholic beverages or any other product regulated and controlled by the United States Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB); - Firearms or weapons of any kind, any firearm or weapon parts, or ammunition in any amount - Common fireworks - Replica or inert explosives or weapons that bear an appearance to actual explosives or weapons; - Any “Hazardous Material” ** not including those Hazardous Materials in small or excepted quantities as defined in 49 C.F.R.; - Any Hazardous Waste, defined as a solid waste that meets any of the criteria of the hazardous waste as described in 40 C.F.R. § 261.3 (whether or not in small or excepted quantities); - Anything illegal including, without limitation, recreational drugs and other contraband - Marijuana intended for medicinal use - Prescription Drugs and Medicines - Live animals, animal remains, animal body parts, or components thereof. - Cremated remains, human remains, fetal remains, human body parts, or components thereof. ** Hazardous Materials All Users must be aware that these T&C, and both the Divco Driver’s Agreement and the Divco Client Agreement forbid the transportation of hazardous materials (“HAZMAT”). A major problem for most folks is recognizing HAZMAT that may include common household items such as alcohol, or seemingly benign items like dry ice (solid carbon dioxide or CO₂). Stiff civil penalties (fines) of up to $175,000.00 apply to people who offer for shipment, cause to be shipped or transport HAZMAT. The penalties apply whether the transportation is by vehicle, vessel, aircraft or rail. Among the reasons for these regulations are the protection, safety and security of vehicles, vessels, aircraft and railways. Because HAZMAT is dangerous, it must be properly packaged, labeled, marked, identified and certified; it must include in the shipping papers emergency response information to assist crash, fire and rescue personnel in the event of an accident or incident; there must be provided an emergency contact telephone number in the shipping papers that must satisfy legal requirements; and there are a myriad of other things people offering for transport or transporting HAZMAT must satisfy to avoid paying massive fines. DIVCO HAS AND TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO EITHER DRIVERS OR CLIENTS FOR THE INCLUSION OF ANY PROHIBITED ITEMS IN ANY JOB OR THE TRANSPORT OF ANY PROHIBITED ITEMS IN ANY JOB It is every Driver’s and Client’s duty and obligation to know and comply with all applicable federal and state laws relating to the pick-up and delivery locations of any Job and all items contained in a Job, including without limitation those laws prohibiting the transportation or shipment of certain items (including Hazardous Materials and contraband), restricting the amounts of certain items that can be shipped, and age restrictions. Divco has no liability or responsibility if a Driver or Client fails to comply with these T&C or all applicable laws with respect to the inclusion or acceptance of any items contained in a Job or during the performance of the Job. Any Driver discovering a Divco Prohibited Item in a Job shall immediately notify Divco, LLC at support@divcodelivery.com for further direction. Divco is not responsible for the contents or loss of any Divco Prohibited Item. Divco reserves the right to dispose of any Divco Prohibited Item in its sole discretion and reserves all rights to instruct its Drivers on how to dispose of the any Divco Prohibited Item, including delivery to the proper authorities. DON’T CARRY A PACKAGED ITEM UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS INSIDE! It is a Driver’s responsibility to know the contents of all items in the Job being carried. Divco Insurance Plan Divco wants you to feel confident that your Job is in good hands. The Divco Insurance Plan will reimburse the Client for loss or damage arising from theft or property damage to our Clients’ items of personal property during a Job and arising directly from a Driver’s negligence, up to a maximum of $500.00 per Job. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NO MATTER WHAT TOTAL VALUE YOU DECLARE FOR YOUR JOB OR ANY INDIVIDUAL ITEM(S) CONTAINED IN SUCH JOB, DIVCO’s MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT TO YOU FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE IS $500.00. Terms and Conditions to the Divco Insurance Plan A Client’s election to obtain Protection for a Job is entirely optional. You have the option of obtaining other additional protection from an alternative source or none at all. The declared value for any Job is not insurance coverage by Divco, LLC but represents Divco, LLC’s maximum obligation to you for loss, and/or damage to all items collectively contained within a Job.

App Closure Policy It is understood by driver that keeping the Divco App open on his phone during the performance of his duties is a required responsibility for the driver. The driver acknowledges that the failure to perform this duty will result in an inaccurate calculation of distance traveled by driver and will result in a calculation that is less than the actual distance traveled by the driver. The driver acknowledges that his compensation is largely determined by the calculated distance traveled by the driver, and turning off his phone or closing the app will result in his compensation being less.
