1.     The Web Riders Service and Registration

 

Web Riders provides a service where persons seeking transportation and delivery of roll-off dumpsters and similar devices to certain locations (“End Users”), can be matched and connected with suppliers and haulers of dumpsters (“haulers”). Each End User must create a user account that enables access to the Web Riders Service. Any decision by an End User to contract for services from a hauler is a decision made in such user’s sole discretion. Each delivery, transportation, use of, and removal of a dumpster provided by a hauler to the End User shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.

 

End Users can register to access and use the Services. Registration includes filling out questionnaires and documents. We do not control or confirm user generated content. Monocle is not responsible for the truthfulness or reliability of any information provided by a user. We have no control over the acts or omissions of any user, on or off the Service. We are not responsible for the performance or conduct of any user or other person using the Service.

 

Warning: ALL USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

3.     Contracting with Haulers

 

The Service allows End Users to find and connect to haulers to hire delivery and removal services. We are not a transportation carrier or a moving or hauling or freight carrier. It is up to the End User and the hauler to offer and provide the delivery, pick-up, transportation, removal, hauling and disposal services that may be scheduled through the hauler’s web site. We offer information and a platform to facilitate finding and contracting for the arrangement of delivery, pick-up, transportation, removal, hauling and disposal services, but we do not, and do not intend to, provide transportation services or act in any way as a transportation carrier or a moving or hauling or freight carrier. We have no responsibility or liability for any delivery, pick-up, transportation, removal, hauling or disposal services provided to you or by you through the Service.

 

In order to contract with a hauler, you will have to specify certain information about your requirements, which may include the delivery address, the type of materials or items you may deposit into the dumpster, contact information, and the date and time of delivery and pick-up. Using the address you provide, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to connect you with a hauler to perform the project for you.

 

You will make contracts with haulers, not with us. You will process your payments and deposits, if any, through a third party payment transaction provider.


Price: The price of the goods or services will be specified on the hauler’s web site at the time of acceptance of your purchase order. Prices quoted are based on the information you submit to the hauler.


Delivery: Hauler will endeavor to deliver dumpsters on the agreed delivery dates but Monocle will not under any circumstance be liable for any failure or delay in delivery. Check delivery terms of your hauler contract.


Use of Dumpsters: Usage restrictions will be stated by the hauler, and you should read the hauler’s terms and restrictions carefully. Generally, most haulers require that while refuse dumpsters are in your possession, you will not: light fires in the dumpster; place or allow to be placed into the dumpster: substances hazardous to health such as toxic or corrosive materials or liquids or any other hazardous substances; any liquids of any kind whether contained or not; cans, drums or other containers of any kind unless they are empty and crushed; so incapable of carrying any liquid; medical waste of animal carcasses of any kind or quantity; any other material not listed above however considered unsuitable for containment e.g. malodorous waste; Including but not limited to: asbestos, paint, tires, gas bottle, fridges, freezers, TVs, fluorescent tubes, light bulbs, vehicle batteries, computer monitors, fibrolite, liquids and solvents; fill any dumpster higher than the top of its sides and in such a manner as to prevent spillage of material from the refuse dumpster either while stationary or in transit; move any dumpster without hauler’s consent. If your needs differ from these general restrictions you should discuss it in detail with the hauler.


Risk: You may be liable to hauler for any damage to dumpsters which occurs while in your possession, subject to fair wear and tear – check your hauler’s contract terms carefully.


Access and Ground Conditions: Check your hauler contract terms carefully. In most cases, you will be responsible for the provision of free and suitable access to and from the delivery site (including the removal and reinstatement of local obstructions) and for ensuring suitable ground conditions for the delivery, placement and removal of the dumpster. We and haulers are not liable for the damage to any surface and you should therefore take steps to protect surfaces (e.g. paving slabs, soft ground) before delivery.


Third Party Liability: You shall fully and completely indemnify Monocle in respect of all claims by any person whatsoever for injury to person or loss or damage to property howsoever caused including all costs and charges in connection therewith and arising from or in connection with the transportation, delivery, removal, or use of the dumpster.


Insurance and Notification of Accidents: You shall be responsible for obtaining all prudent insurance, including third party liability and insurance against loss or damage to or resulting from use of the dumpster.


Order Cancellation and Variation: Carefully check the contract terms with your hauler as they apply to cancellation or variation of your order. Additional fees may apply.

YOU AGREE THAT MONOCLE WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY GOODS, SERVICES, RESOURCES OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY THIRD PARTY DEALINGS OR COMMUNICATIONS, OR FOR ANY HARM RELATED THERETO, OR FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE CONTENT, ADVERTISING, OR BUSINESS PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTY. Reference on the Service to any product, process, publication or service of any hauler or other third party by trade name, domain name, trademark, trade identity, service mark, logo, manufacturer or otherwise does not constitute or imply our endorsement or recommendation. We request that End inform us of any errors or inappropriate material found on hauler’s sites that we link to.

5.     User Content

 

We may offer both End Users and haulers the ability to submit information, data, images, and text to the Service (“User Content”). User Content includes any content that users upload, post, or transmit to or through the Service including, without limitation, literary works, audiovisual works, artwork, and any other work subject to protection under law, including, but not limited to, patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright laws.

Dispute Resolution - Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Monocle.

 

You and Monocle mutually agree to waive our respective rights to resolution of disputes in a court of law by a judge or jury and agree to resolve any dispute by arbitration, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives after this Agreement terminates or your relationship with Monocle ends. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Monocle, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders.

 

Except as expressly provided below, all disputes and claims between us (each a “Claim”) shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration solely between you and Monocle. These Claims include any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the Web Rider Service, any other goods or services made available through the Service, your relationship with Monocle, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your user account or this Agreement, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Monocle, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws, claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act, and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, the Defending Trade Secrets Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

 

By agreeing to arbitration, you understand that you and Monocle are waiving the right to sue in court or have a jury trial for all Claims, except as expressly otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.

 

Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.

 

You understand and agree that you and Monocle may each bring Claims in arbitration against the other only in an individual capacity and not on a class, collective action, or representative basis (“Class Action Waiver”). You understand and agree that you and Monocle both are waiving the right to pursue or have a dispute resolved as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding.

 

The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, the class, collective, or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

 

Every arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding.

 

Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) (the “AAA Rules”) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

 

As part of the arbitration, both you and Monocle will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.

 

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different customers, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same customer to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Arbitration Fees and Awards.

 

The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA Rules subject to the following modifications:

 

If an End User initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement after participating in the optional negotiation process described below and are otherwise required to pay a filing fee under the relevant AAA Rules, Monocle agrees that, unless your claim is for $5,000 or more, your share of the filing and arbitration fees is limited to $50, and that, after you submit proof of payment of the filing fee to Monocle, Monocle will promptly reimburse you for all but $50 of the filing fee. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

 

If Monocle initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, Monocle will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees.

 

Location and Manner of Arbitration.

 

Unless you and Monocle agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Denver, Colorado. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, Monocle agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as determined by the AAA Rules. If your Claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.

 

Exceptions to Arbitration.

 

This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of the small claims court’s jurisdiction; and (2) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of law.

 

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party's obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration, however you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint and instead may seek such relief only through arbitration under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or Arbitration Agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision.

Optional Pre-Arbitration Negotiation Process.

Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and Monocle may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and Monocle. A party who intends to seek negotiation under this subsection must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute, describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and setting forth the specific relief sought. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability or for impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.

Severability.

 

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

 

12.  Indemnity

 

You will defend, indemnify and hold us, our officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and vendors, harmless from and against any claims, actions or demands, liabilities and settlements including without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, your breach of this Agreement, or your access to, use of the Service, whether by act, omission or negligence, including but not limited to any claims involving intellectual property, marks or copyrights.
