Last update 01, September 2024
The General Terms of Use govern the operations carried out by EVERLOG AND FRET SARL, headquartered at 1st floor block C15, cité Dakhka, Agadir, via its site app.everlogandfret.com.
Article 1 – PURPOSE OF THE SITE
The purpose of these terms is to define the Services offered and provided by EVERLOG AND FRET, through its collaborative digital platform online, for freight management and organization of road transport between EVERLOG AND FRET, which acts as an intermediary between various transport industry stakeholders, and companies or entities with the status of ‘Order Givers / Shippers’ wishing to transport goods, to clients or other entities, referred to as ‘Recipients’.
The Site also offers additional services for real-time tracking and management of road transport operations such as real-time tracking of goods, fleet management, optimization of empty returns, and digitization of transport documents (verification of delivery notes or waybills, invoices, etc.).
EVERLOG AND FRET is a company that has designed, developed, and published a digital platform and a website. The Order Givers, on one hand, and the Transporters, on the other hand, voluntarily register and provide the required data and send the requested documents necessary for the validation of their registration.
Order Givers must be validated by the Site as User Members before they can post their Requests, and Transporters must also be validated by the Site as User Members before they can respond to Requests.
EVERLOG AND FRET has developed a software application (Software as A Service) which has been launched on a computer Platform named EVERLOG AND FRET and accessible from the site everlogandfret.com and app.everlogandfret.com, aimed at facilitating exchanges between 'Order Givers', on one hand, and professional 'Transporters' interested in the requested transport, on the other hand.

The Client posts an Ad on the Site by filling in the mandatory fields.
The Client may, in their Ad, provide a value declaration to substitute the declared amount for the liability limits. This value declaration must be expressly indicated in their Ad so that EVERLOG AND FRET can mention it on the transport document that will be issued for the transport service. EVERLOG AND FRET must draw the Transporter's attention to this value declaration.
The Site records the Ads and determines the Price; if the Client approves the total price proposed by EVERLOG AND FRET, the latter then sends the Transport Service Offer to one or more targeted Carriers, who can respond by accepting or rejecting it.
Following the acceptance of the Offer by a Carrier, EVERLOG AND FRET may verify that the Carrier is authorized to respond to the Offer. This acceptance of the Offer validated by EVERLOG AND FRET constitutes Confirmation of the order. Conversely, acceptance not validated by EVERLOG AND FRET cannot constitute Confirmation of the order.
Such Order Confirmation will reflect the commitment of both the Client and the Carrier under the transport contract, as well as their commitment to EVERLOG AND FRET.
Any cancellation after this Order Confirmation is governed by the provisions of Article 4.4 of these terms.

Article 5 – PAYMENT CONDITIONS
5.1. Payment Service
EVERLOG AND FRET uses a Payment Service Provider for the payment of transport services concluded between the Client and the Contractor. This Payment Service Provider has a framework service contract.
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, Clients and Contractors agree to be directly bound to the Payment Service Provider and expressly acknowledge and accept this framework service contract.
Deductions from the Client's account are made on the secure and authorized banking servers of the Payment Service Provider; the funds paid by the Client are protected in a specific account identified on the Payment Service Provider's site before being transferred, within the aforementioned deadlines, to the Client's bank account for the Service Price and to EVERLOG AND FRET's bank account for the Commission.
In the context of these payments, EVERLOG AND FRET has no access to any data related to the Client's and/or Contractor's payment methods. Payment is made directly to the Payment Service Provider. The data recorded by the payment system constitutes proof of financial transactions.
5.2. Price Calculation:
In response to the publication of its offer, the Client is informed by EVERLOG AND FRET of the total Price.
The prices of services are calculated by the algorithms of the software published by EVERLOG AND FRET based on the information provided by the Client, taking into account the transport operation to be carried out, including the nature, weight, volume of the goods to be transported, and the routes to be taken.
5.3. Payment Conditions for Clients:
At the end of the Delivery, the invoice for the Total Price will be issued by EVERLOG AND FRET and sent to the Client. Delivery is proven explicitly by the Carrier by providing the signed Transport Document (POD) by the recipient, or implicitly by the absence of dispute from the Client by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within three days from the receipt of the goods, when this Client is also the recipient of the goods, and within four days from the receipt of the goods when this Client is not the recipient.
Payment of the Total Price is made by the Client upon receipt of the invoice by bank transfer or direct debit. Bank details are mentioned at the bottom of each invoice.
Any delay in payment will automatically incur, starting the day after the payment date mentioned on the invoice, late payment interest equivalent to the interest rate indicated on the invoice and set according to the provisions of Article L.441-6, paragraph 12 of the Commercial Code, as well as a fixed compensation for collection costs of up to 40% of the initial invoice amount according to Article D.441-5 of the Commercial Code, without prejudice to the possible compensation, under common law, for any other damage directly resulting from this delay.
Any partial payment on the due date will be allocated first to the non-priority part of the receivables. Failure to pay a single installment will automatically lead to the expiration of the term, with the balance becoming immediately due even if effects are accepted.
5.4. Payment Conditions for Carriers:
The Carrier submits its invoice to EVERLOG AND FRET describing the transport service performed (place and date of pickup and delivery and reference of the Transport Document).
The Price of the Service is paid to the Carrier on instructions from EVERLOG AND FRET either by bank transfer or by check made out to the Carrier, no later than 30 days from the invoice date.
For this purpose, when creating its account, the Carrier indicates the chosen payment method and, if necessary, provides EVERLOG AND FRET with the banking information on its Bank Identity Statement, allowing the transfer of the Price of the Service to its bank account.
Payment for the transport service cannot be made by cash on delivery.
In case of a collection error (double collection for the same Service on amounts credited by the Client for the benefit of the Carrier), the Carrier agrees to:
Immediately refund the undue amount to the Client by bank transfer, while simultaneously informing EVERLOG AND FRET.
If the Carrier fails to provide proof of the transport service by submitting the signed Transport Document, payment of the Service Price may be suspended.
5.5. Costs in Case of Modification of the Offer and Transport Service:
Modification before the start of execution
Any modification of the Offer, whether at the initiative of the Client or due to circumstances beyond EVERLOG AND FRET and the Carrier, results in an adjustment to the initially agreed price.
If EVERLOG AND FRET and the Client cannot agree on this adjustment, either party may withdraw the Offer from the EVERLOG AND FRET Platform.
Modification during execution
The Client who modifies the transport service during its execution bears, upon presentation of supporting documents, the costs incurred by EVERLOG AND FRET.
EVERLOG AND FRET does not bear any costs incurred by modifications to the execution conditions of the contract resulting from its own fault or that of its substitutes.
Modifications Justified by the Interest of the Goods
When modifications made by EVERLOG AND FRET are justified by the interest of the goods, the Client reimburses the incurred costs upon presentation of supporting documents.

In case of cancellation of the transport service following order confirmation:
By the Carrier: the Carrier’s performance indicators will be downgraded on the platform, and in an abusive case, the Carrier may be excluded from the platform. EVERLOG AND FRET will strive to find another Carrier, with no obligation of result.
By the Client before the start of the transport service: the Client will be invoiced between 30% and 100% of the Total Price, including a minimum partial refund of 25% corresponding to cancellation fees due to the Carrier and 5% corresponding to service fees due to EVERLOG AND FRET.
