The Consignor must confirm the fact of delivery of the cargo to the Carrier through the form of this order in the Consignor’s application after loading the cargo into the Carrier’s vehicle and before its departure. If the Consignor has not confirmed the shipment of the cargo, such cargo must be unloaded, and the Consignor will be charged a fixed amount for the vehicle provision.
The Consignor creates a shipping order through his account. By creating a request, the Consignor confirms that he has all legal rights to move such cargo.
The Consignor is prohibited from ordering the movement of flammable, explosive, narcotic substances, as well as weapons.
The Consignor must specify the details of the cargo consignee: address, full name/name, phone number.
The Consignor can specify the delivery time. If the Consignor does not specify this period, it will be offered by the VanOnGo Service based on the estimated time for the route from the Consignor to the Consignee. The Consignor is obliged to take all reasonable measures so that the Consignee specified by him can receive it on the day of cargo delivery.
The Consignor must specify the one who will load the cargo into the Carrier’s vehicle and ship it to the Consignee.
The Consignor is obliged to prepare the cargo for transportation, taking into account the need to ensure its transportability and safety during transportation. In case if the legislation provides for special documents (certificates) for cargo transportation, the Consignor is obliged to handle such documents to the Carrier together with the cargo. If the Consignor has not marked the cargo, the Carrier is not responsible for its damage or loss. The Consignor may request from the Carrier materials for packing the cargo, if the Carrier has any.
The Consignor has the right to specify the number of Driver’s assistants required for loading and/or unloading the cargo.
The Consignor must pay for the Carrier’s services.
The Consignor must contact the Consignee after receiving the Carrier’s notification of the cargo arrival at the Consignee’s address.

The Consignor has the right to refuse the transport provided by the Carrier if it is not adapted for the carriage of cargo.
The Consignor has the right to receive his cargo back before its departure. In this case, the Consignor will be charged a fixed amount for the vehicle provision.

For the CARRIER
If you would like to provide a paid cargo transportation service, you need to have an account in the Carrier’s App https://dashboard.vanongo.com/. In this case, you are the Carrier and the rights and obligations of the Carrier apply to you as described below.
The VanOnGo Service provides the Carrier with information about Consignors’ orders. The Carrier has the right to accept the order of any Consignor if it meets requirements for the transportation service described in the order.
In case if the Carrier has accepted the Consignor’s order, he must provide the appropriate vehicle for loading the cargo at the address and within the time specified in the Consignor’s order.
In case if in the Consignor’s order specified that the Carrier’s Driver / Driver’s assistants are responsible for loading the cargo, then the Carrier is required to perform the loading.
The Carrier has the right to refuse accepting the cargo if it is served in a container or packaging that, at the discretion of the Carrier’s Driver, does not allow the cargo to be delivered without damage or without marking.
After loading the cargo into the Carrier’s vehicle and before its departure, the Carrier must confirm the fact of the cargo handed over by the Consignor through the form of this order in the Carrier’s application. If the Carrier did not confirm the cargo loading and left, such cargo is considered stolen, and the Carrier will be subject to measures provided for by law.
The Carrier is obliged to deliver the cargo within the time established in the contract with the Consignor of the cargo. The Carrier must notify the Consignee of the cargo arrival at the Consignee’s address.
The Carrier must notify the Consignor of the cargo arrival at the Consignee’s address. After receiving the Consignor’s confirmation of accepting the transportation services, the Carrier can close the order form.

The Carrier is liable for the cargo since the moment it is fully loaded into the vehicle until it is delivered to the Consignee (or until the shipment starts, if the Consignee makes the shipment) in the amount of actual damage, unless he proves that the damage/loss of the cargo was not due to his fault.
In case if the Consignee has not accepted / refused to accept the cargo, or the Consignor has not notified the Carrier of accepting the transportation services, the Carrier has the right to keep the cargo for storage at the expense and risk of the Consignor, while notifying the Consignor about this via the mobile app or a Website. Cargo not received within a month after the Carrier notifies the Consignee is considered unclaimed and is subject to sale in accordance with the procedure established by law.
PAYMENT
You acknowledge that using the Service may result in an obligation to pay for the services you receive from the Carrier (“Fees”). After the Consignor receives transportation services through using the Service, we will help you pay the appropriate Fees, acting on behalf of the Carrier as his agent for receiving payment with limited authority. Payment of Fees in this way is identical to the payment made by you directly in favor of the Carrier and the Insurance company. If required by law, the Fees will include applicable taxes. The fee you paid cannot be refunded or compensated, unless it is provided for in these Terms. You have the right to request from the Carrier a reduction in the Fee amount for transportation services received by you from such Carrier. VanOnGo will respond accordingly to any request from the Carrier to change the amount of the Fee for transportation services he provides.
All Fees are subject to immediate payment; however, payment is made through Stripe Inc. using the primary payment method selected in your account, or in cash. After making the payment, we will send you a document confirming the payment by email and/or to your account in our Service. In case if your primary payment method specified in your account turns out to be expired, invalid, or unusable for any other reason, you agree that VanOnGo, as an agent with limited authority to receive payment for the Carrier, may use the additional payment method specified in your account (if provided).
The Stripe Inc. payment structure is designed to provide non-cash payment to the Carrier and Insurance company for services rendered in full. Having received cargo transportation services through using the Service, you will be able to rate them and leave additional feedback about your Carrier.
As between you and us, we reserve the right at any time, in our sole discretion, to determine, remove and/or change the amount of the Fee for providing any services obtained through the use of the Service. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that Fees applicable in certain geographical areas may increase significantly during periods of high demand or due to weather conditions, or the quality of the road surface. We will use reasonable efforts to inform you of any possible obligations to pay Fees, provided that you will be responsible for paying Fees in your account regardless of your being acknowledged of the existence of such Fees or the amounts to be paid. We may from time to time provide certain users with special offers and discounts that may reduce the amount of Fees charged for the same or similar services obtained through using the Service. However, you agree that such special offers and discounts that you have not received do not affect your using the Service or the payment of applicable Fees. You can cancel the ordered Carrier services at any time before the cargo is delivered to the Consignee, but you may be charged for canceling the order. In case if the cargo you sent was not accepted by the Consignee for reasons beyond the Carrier’s control, the Carrier has the right to charge you an additional fee for storing the cargo or delivering it back.
