Introduction
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement (“Agreement”) between you and Della governing your access to and use of the Della website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites that are owned by Della or its branches and subsidiaries, or through which Della makes its services available (collectively, “Della Platform”).
Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of Della Platform is described in our Privacy Policy.
Our collection and use of cookie files in connection with your access to and use of Della Platform is described in our Cookie Policy.
When these Terms mention “Della”, “we”, “us” or “our” it refers to the Della company you are contracting with.
Scope
- Della is an online freight exchange, that enables registered users who own or operate goods (“Shippers”) and registered users who provide road transportation services (“Carriers”, and together with Shippers, 'Users”) to publish information about their goods (“Freights”) and their transportation services (“Vehicles”, and together with Freights, 'Transportations”), to communicate and transact with each other.
- As the provider of Della Platform, Della does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Freights or Vehicles. Shippers and Carriers alone are responsible for their Freights and Vehicles. Della is not and does not become a party to or another participant in any contractual relationship between Shippers and Carriers, nor is Della a freight owner, freight forwarder, freight broker or freight insurer.
- While Della may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Della has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Freights or Vehicles, the truth or accuracy of any Freight and Vehicle descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other User Content, or the performance or conduct of any User or third party.
- Della Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. Della is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Della of such Third-Party Services.
- Due to the nature of the Internet, Della cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of Della Platform. Della may restrict the availability of Della Platform or certain areas or features thereof if this is necessary for capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of Della Platform. Della may improve, enhance, and modify Della Platform and introduce new services from time to time.
Changing Terms
Della reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on Della Platform. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. If you do not terminate your Agreement, your continued access to or use of Della Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
Registration
- You must create an account (“Della Account”) to access and use certain features of Della Platform. If you are registering Della Account for a business, organization or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant us all permissions and licenses provided in these Terms. You can register Della Account using an email address and creating a password.
