Our site acts as a venue where shipping customers and Transporters can meet and enter into agreements. We are not involved in the actual transaction between shipping customers and Transporters. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legal aspects of the transactions that take place on our website. InfoChain (PVT) LTD does not prequalify or validate the claims of Transporters 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 Transporters, we have no control over the accuracy of listings, the ability of Transporters 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.
You agree that you can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Our services are not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended InfoChain (PVT) LTD members. You acknowledge that you are at least 18 years of age. Your InfoChain (PVT) LTD membership may not be transferred or sold to another party.

As a shipping customer, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the TSP if you accept the TSP's price, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by this Agreement. By accepting a TSP's ad, you agree to be bound by the conditions of the ad included in the ad 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 ad details after your acceptance; (2) a typographical error is made; or (3) you cannot authenticate the TSP's identity or credentials. 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.

It is recommended that you confirm such compliance directly with the TSP before services are rendered by the TSP.
