8. How to use the Platform and general features

The Senders can formulate a transport request, indicating: 

• place and date of departure/collection of the goods/goods; 

• place of arrival/delivery; 

• dimensions and weight of the goods/goods; 

• preference for a Carrier willing to be geolocated with a gps satellite system; 

• maximum amount of the Contribution to expenses or of the proposed Consideration; 

• preference for a professional courier (so-called Professional Carrier).

Once the aforementioned data has been entered and the search has started, the Platform software selects a series of Carriers available to perform the transport service requested by the Sender.

 

The Vectors, in turn they can formulate a transport offer, indicating: 

• place and date of departure/collection of the goods/goods; 

• place of arrival/delivery; the means of transport; availability for tracking with gps satellite system; 

• belonging to the category of professional couriers (so-called Professional Carrier). Also in this case, once the aforementioned data has been entered and the search has started, the Platform software selects the Senders potentially interested in the transport service offered by the Carrier.

Each type of user can decide whether to publish the respective transport demand/offer or whether to enter the data indicated above to carry out a simple search.

By viewing the various requests/offers published, Senders and Carriers can decide whether and which respective counterparty to contact, by selecting the appropriate function. SiWeGO does not guarantee correspondence between Users, limiting itself to showing transport offers and requests relating to the criteria entered respectively by Carriers and Senders.

After establishing contact, the Sender and the Carrier access a reserved area (or private chat), in which they view the summary of the selected transport demand/offer and have the opportunity to negotiate the terms and conditions in more detail. the transport conditions (methods, times, Contribution to expenses/Consideration, etc.), in order to reach an agreement.

Once the details of the agreement have been defined, the Platform software summarizes the essential points by automatically calculating the Commission for the Service due to SiWeGO pursuant to the previous point 3 of these Regulations. Subsequently, the Sender, through the payment system provided by Lemon Way, pays by credit card the sum agreed as Contribution to expenses or Consideration, depending on the type of Carrier (Easy or Professional), plus the Commission due to SiWeGO.

It should be noted that the payment to the Carrier will be made through the Lemon Way platform, of which the Sender accepts the general terms and conditions of use, as well as the related privacy policy and cookie policy at the time of making the payment through the platform SiWeGO, in this way, Lemon Way creates a technical ACCOUNT (wallet) relating to all payments. It also creates a Payment Account for each Carrier and one in the name of SiWeGO instead. The total sum paid by the Sender is therefore divided by Lemon Way into two parts: the part corresponding to the Contribution to expenses or Price agreed by the Users is temporarily deposited in the aforementioned Lemon Way technical portfolio, waiting to be automatically transferred to that of the Carrier when Lemon Way receives from the application the input confirming the arrival at the destination of the transported goods; the part corresponding to the Service Fee, on the other hand, is immediately transferred to SiWeGO's wallet/ACCOUNT, which then collects it by issuing an invoice to the Sender within 7 working days.

When the Carrier collects the goods/goods to be transported, the Sender provides him with a secret code in his possession, which the Carrier must enter in the appropriate field of the Siwego application to confirm that the goods have been taken over.

After taking charge of the goods, the Carrier will be able to authorize its tracking with the GPS satellite system; in this way, through the specific function of the application, the Sender can view the journey of the goods/goods sent within a digital map.

Subsequently, using the appropriate application command (delivery confirmation), the Sender will generate a second code and communicate it to the Recipient. The latter, when receiving the goods/goods, after having verified their integrity, discloses the code to the Carrier, who then enters it in the appropriate field of the application, thus proving that he has brought the goods/goods to their destination whole. At this point the Platform software notifies both Users that the good/merchandise has been delivered correctly and prompts Lemon way to immediately transfer the sum in the technical account to the Carrier's payment account.

The Carrier, on a monthly basis (30 working days) will obtain the transfer from its Lemon Way payment account to its bank account of the Contributions to expenses or Fees accrued. In order to be able to collect the aforementioned sums, the Carrier must send Lemon Way - through the appropriate function of the application - a copy of their identity card (in the case of a natural person) or of their chamber of commerce certificate (in the case of a legal person or sole proprietorship), as well as a copy of your bank account statement showing the name of the bank and the IBAN code. These data will be requested from the Carrier only during the first operation. Indeed, the Professional Carrier provides these data/documents to Lemon Way already during the online subscription contract signing phase, the consideration for which is in fact paid to SiWeGO by credit card through the system provided by Lemon Way.

 

Sender and Carrier may exercise the right of withdrawal from the transport contract. The terms and methods of exercising this right, as well as the provision of any penalties connected to it, are left to the free negotiation of Users within the private chat.

In the event of withdrawal by one of the parties to the transport contract, the Contribution to expenses/Contribution paid by the Sender will remain deposited in the Lemon Way technical account pending the parties agreeing on the destination of the relative sum, to be reimbursed to the Sender or paid to the Carrier in all or in part. Within thirty days of the withdrawal SiWeGO, in the absence of different indications from the interested Users, will give an impulse to Lemon Way so that the latter will reimburse the Sender.

In any case, SiWeGO will definitively retain the Commission for the Service already collected.

 

9. Rules for Senders

The Sender who agrees with a Carrier for a transport is required to pay, through the system provided by Lemon Way, the Contribution to the expenses/Consideration agreed.

The sums paid by the Sender to the Carrier via Lemon Way as Contribution to costs/Consideration are not available to SiWeGO. Therefore, any refund requests must be presented by the Sender directly to the Carrier, and possibly accepted by the latter. The Carrier will therefore authorize SiWeGO to reimburse the Sender in whole or in part through Lemon Way; except as provided by the penultimate paragraph of the previous point 9.

 

10. Rules for Carriers

The services provided by the Carriers to the Senders through the Platform may exclusively concern: transport of goods and/or merchandise, shipping, moving and ancillary or similar activities. Carriers are not allowed to use the Platform to carry out the sale of products or services other than the previous ones.

The offers sent by the Carriers to the Senders must include all foreseeable ancillary costs including VAT where applied, for which the Sender will find a separate indication based on the regulations in force regarding the transport of goods.

The Carrier is responsible for all tax obligations connected to the relationship with the Sender, in particular the payment of VAT if applied.

 

11. Use of the Platform by Carrier Easy for non-commercial purposes

Users who register on the platform as an Easy carrier agree to use the Services and the Platform for the sole purpose of being put in contact, on a non-business and non-commercial basis, with people who wish to share their journey for the transport of the goods covered by the shipping.

As a Transporter, the user undertakes not to request a contribution to expenses that exceeds the costs actually incurred and which could generate a profit. The User is solely responsible for calculating the costs incurred for transportation. 

 

Users, who register on the Platform as Easy Carrier, may use the same Platform for the sole purpose of getting in touch with other Users, not exercising any professional and/or commercial activity, making themselves available for the mere spirit of courtesy and solidarity to deliver goods and objects of other Users and requesting from them only a Contribution to expenses, of a lump sum, aimed at partially amortising the costs incurred (deriving from the use of means of transport, tolls, fuel, maintenance of the vehicle, repairs, technical checks, wear and vehicle insurance). In consideration of the spirit of courtesy and solidarity that characterizes the relationship between the Easy Carrier and the Sender, the Easy Carrier must not derive any economic profit from this contribution, but only a partial reimbursement of expenses.

Since these are relations of mere courtesy and solidarity, Carrier Easy cannot be considered a professional carrier. Between the Sender and the Easy Carrier there is therefore a contract of carriage free of charge which does not preclude the right to reimbursement of expenses. The Sender is aware that Easy Carrier is not a professional carrier. The Easy Carrier must in any case fulfill the obligations of the transport contract correctly and in good faith, with the diligence of a good father of a family.

 

SiWeGO reserves the right to notify the competent Authorities and carry out the Suspension of the Account of the Easy Carrier which, through the Platform, has carried out transport activities for commercial and/or professional purposes without having the necessary requisites.

 

SiWeGO provides through its own structure a Service of mere communication between Users, assisted by the payment instrument provided by Lemon Way, and will in no case interfere in the choice of places, times and delivery methods agreed by Users.

 

SiWeGO does not play any active role among the latter, limiting itself to providing the necessary structure to put them in contact with each other, not performing any function of intermediary and/or agent and/or job administration agency and the like. The Users themselves are therefore devoid of legitimacy to make complaints to the Company in the event that they do not establish contacts with other Users concerning the delivery service. The transport contract concerns only the Sender and the Easy Carrier; therefore, such Users thus far indemnify SiWeGO from any liability deriving from non-fulfilment and/or from an unlawful act, as well as for any consequent direct and indirect damages, patrimonial or otherwise, also with respect to third parties.

Following the registration of the Easy Carrier in the appropriate section of the Platform, no independent and/or subordinate employment relationship is established between the same and SiWeGO.

Finally, the registration of the Easy Carrier Account is permitted to natural persons of legal age.

 

12. Use of the Platform by the Professional Carrier

Users who register on the Platform as a Professional Carrier can use the Platform itself in order to get in touch with other Users, thus expanding their catchment area, making themselves available to carry out their professional and/or commercial activity, concluding transport with other Users, with the consequent right to payment of the indicated/agreed Price.

The Professional Carrier is considered a person who is carrying out a transport business; therefore, it undertakes to fulfill the related legal obligations; the Sender can demand the execution of such services. Carrier Professional is a company (sole proprietorship or company) recorded in the Register/Register of road hauliers and provided with an administrative Licence/Authorisation for this purpose, active in the supply of road haulage services of goods and/or goods on behalf of third parties, shipment, moving or ancillary and similar activities, including intermediation in the shipping sector (you can also have multiple types of licenses/authorizations and specify it in the appropriate "description" section of your profile on the Platform). The Professional Carrier guarantees, exempting SiWeGO from any liability, that it is in possession of all the legal requirements necessary to carry out the aforementioned activities professionally.

SiWeGO makes available to Users only the structure that provides a communication service between them, assisted by the payment instrument provided by Lemon Way, and will in no case interfere in the choice of places, times and delivery methods agreed by the Users. SiWeGO does not exercise any active role among the latter, limiting itself to providing the necessary structure to put them in contact with each other, not performing any function of intermediary and/or agent and/or job administration agency and the like. The Users themselves are therefore devoid of any legitimacy to make complaints to the Company in the event that they do not establish contacts with other Users concerning the delivery service. The transport contract concerns only the Sender and the Professional Carrier; therefore, such Users thus far indemnify SiWeGO from any liability deriving from non-fulfilment and/or from an illegal act, as well as for any consequent direct and indirect damages, patrimonial or otherwise, also with respect to third parties.

Following the registration of the Professional Carrier in the appropriate section of the Platform, no independent and/or subordinate employment relationship is established between the same and SiWeGO.

The Professional Carrier has the right to indicate to the Senders contacted through the Platform particular conditions of transport, specifying them in the "Description" section of its profile, provided that these conditions do not conflict with the Regulations of the Platform and do not violate the current provisions of the law.

Finally, the registration of the Professional Carrier Account is reserved for the owners of sole proprietorships or the legal representatives of companies carrying out goods and/or merchandise road haulage activities on behalf of third parties, or for subjects legitimately delegated by them.

 

13. Contact system between Sender and Carrier and online conclusion of agreements concerning transport services

SiWeGO offers an online service through which Shippers and Carriers can contact each other and agree on the transport of a specific good/goods to a specific Recipient.

It is the responsibility and exclusive competence of the parties to establish the methods, times and places of delivery, therefore, the Sender and the Carrier assume all risks relating to the delivery of the goods/goods, such as, by way of example and not limited to, cancellations or changes unforeseen and/or sudden. SiWeGO is exonerated from any responsibility regarding the direct and/or indirect damage caused to other Users and/or third parties due to the occurrence of the aforementioned events.

The booking of the delivery by the Sender and the relative acceptance by the Carrier conclude a valid, effective, binding agreement/contract between them. 

 

14. Payment system for transport services agreed online

The Sender, having concluded the agreement/contract with the Carrier who has agreed to carry out the transport with the methods agreed between the parties, pays the sum established by way of Contribution to expenses or Consideration (the latter inclusive of VAT), as well as the Commission for the Service rendered by SiWeGO through the payment system offered by Lemon Way.

For the Sender who has contacted and made use of an Easy Carrier, following the payment of the Contribution to the costs, a summary note will be digitally generated by the Platform indicating, among other things, the amount paid.

The Sender who has contacted and made use of a Professional Carrier, following the payment of the fee (including VAT if due), will be digitally generated by the Platform a summary note indicating, among other things, the amount paid. The tax receipt/invoice relating to the transport and not including the commissions for using the platform will be issued by the Professional Carrier and sent directly by them to the Sender in the manner agreed by them.

The Carrier, on a monthly basis (30 working days) will obtain the transfer from its Lemon Way account to its bank account of the Contributions to the expenses or Fees accrued. The payment of the amount due will take place exclusively through the integrated payment system provided by Lemon Way, excluding payments in cash or checks.

SiWeGO is exempt from any liability in the event of failure to transfer the sums present on the Lemon Way payment account of the Carrier to the bank account of the same User due to the failure or inaccurate communication of the data/documents requested by Lemon Way (in particular the bank name and current account details). These data/documents can be modified at a later time if necessary.

SiWeGO is exempt from any liability for damage caused to users in relation to the payment service offered by Lemon Way.

 

15. Commissions applied by SiWeGO to the Senders

A Commission will be charged to the Sender upon conclusion of the agreement with the Carrier.

As specified in point 3 of these general terms and conditions, the commission applied by SiWeGO on transactions concluded through the Platform is equal to 7% of the amount of the Contribution to costs/Consideration agreed between the Sender and the Carrier, including VAT.

For clarity, the amount (in Euros) of the Commission will be viewable by the Sender in the appropriate summary sheet, in particular when the Contribution to expenses/Consideration agreed between the parties will be indicated.

The Commission will be paid by the Sender to SiWeGO through the payment system provided by Lemon Way upon conclusion of the agreement with the Carrier. The Commission will be collected by SiWeGO on the Lemon Way payment account in its name, different from the Lemon Way payment account into which the Contributions to the expenses/Fees due to the Carrier and in its name will be paid. The Commissions will be invoiced to the Sender for each individual transport within 7 working days.

The payment of the Commission takes place regardless of the subsequent execution of the shipping/transport service.

SiWeGO reserves the right to change the Commission measure or to suspend its application at any time, also towards individual Senders. 

SiWeGO, for promotional purposes, reserves the possibility for an initial period not to apply the aforementioned commission. The duration of this period will be adequately communicated to Users who will subsequently be notified of the moment from which the commission will start to be applied.

The possible introduction of this promotion, its duration and possible extension of the same will be decided by SiWeGO on the basis of strictly commercial evaluations and therefore not subject to any complaints by Users.
