Terms of Service

Plain English summary: LoadSmarter is a tool that helps truck drivers understand their pay and operating costs. It uses AI. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Use the results as a starting point, not a final answer.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using LoadSmarter ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What LoadSmarter Is

LoadSmarter is a suite of financial tools built for CDL-A truck drivers and owner-operators. The Service includes an ELD Pay Audit tool, a Rate Command cost calculator, a Scale House mileage checker, and a Trip Mode dashboard. These tools use artificial intelligence to read, interpret, and analyze documents and data you provide. All AI-powered features are clearly disclosed within the interface.

3. Not Professional Advice

LoadSmarter does not provide legal, financial, accounting, tax, payroll, or business advice. Nothing generated by the Service — including audit results, cost calculations, floor rates, trip summaries, or dispute letters — constitutes legal, financial, accounting, tax, payroll, or professional advice of any kind.

All results and calculations are estimates only, based on the documents and numbers you provide, and may not account for all applicable laws, exemptions, deductions, contracts, or circumstances affecting your specific situation.

If you believe you have a wage claim, consult a licensed employment attorney or contact your state's Department of Labor. For financial or tax guidance, consult a licensed accountant or financial advisor.

4. Accuracy Disclaimer

Results generated by the Service — including AI-powered audits and cost calculations — depend entirely on the quality and accuracy of the information you provide. LoadSmarter makes no warranty that results are accurate, complete, or legally actionable. We are not responsible for decisions made based on the Service's output.

5. Your Responsibilities
6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LOADSMARTER AND ITS OPERATORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that any results, calculations, or outputs generated by the Service are accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LoadSmarter and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service or reliance on its results, including but not limited to lost wages, lost profits, adverse employment decisions, or any action or inaction taken based on audit output, rate calculations, or dispute letters generated by the Service.

8. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.

Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

Plain English summary: If you have a dispute with LoadSmarter, we resolve it through individual arbitration — not a class action lawsuit. By using the Service, you agree to this process.

Agreement to Arbitrate

By using LoadSmarter, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court.

Class Action Waiver

You agree to resolve disputes with LoadSmarter on an individual basis only. You waive any right to bring or participate in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against LoadSmarter. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration agreement shall not apply.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies. Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any arbitration shall take place in the United States, and you may participate remotely.
