Sixfold Terms & Conditions

Sixfold GmbH, incorporated under the commercial register, register no. HRB 735749 (hereinafter: “Sixfold”) operates an internet-based platform for providing Carriers and Shippers with real-time transparency of the status and performance of their transports to increase their supply chain efficiency. For this purpose, Sixfold links location or status information that is provided by Carrier, with transport order information provided by Shipper.

This Agreement describes the services provided by Sixfold to a Carrier. Thus, Customer in this document always refers to a Carrier. Customer is aware that Carrier, as well as Shipper, are beneficiaries of Sixfold’s service.

Customer desires to increase the efficiency of its logistics processes by rendering more visibility for the parties to the transportation chain. For this purpose, Customer provides Sixfold with access to the Data Sources (telematics platform, mobile app and/or TMS system) whereas Sixfold provides the parties in Customer’s supply chain with real-time transparency and Customer with the access to the User Interface.

ESSENTIALLY,

Sixfold provides real-time transport visibility and predicts arrival times to you and your Shippers. To achieve that, Sixfold connects and analyses data from both of you.

Hereunto the Parties conclude this Carrier Service Agreement online. The Agreement between Sixfold and Customer is concluded by Customer’s registration on Sixfold’s website and Sixfold’s acceptance of such registration. The registration must be completed in full and truthfully. Sixfold may request the authorised signatory of Customer to show suitable evidence of authority to represent Customer. Sixfold reserves the right to refuse registration or to revoke or to delete such in case of misuse or if false information is provided.

By using Sixfold you agree to all the terms below.

(1) Free of charge nature

The Services laid out in this Carrier Service Agreement are free of charge, unless agreed otherwise in a separate agreement. Beyond our control, third party platforms might charge Customer for using data created with these Services on their platform with a separate agreement between the third party and Customer.

Customer acknowledges that the Services laid down in this Agreement might not yet be fully available at the time of contract conclusion. Reason being that the services are continuously developed and improved in order to constantly increase Customer’s supply chain efficiency. Sixfold will inform Customer of the availability of services.

ESSENTIALLY,

For you, Sixfold is free to use. We update the service continuously, some of the features mentioned here are not yet available.

(2) Vehicle location tracking

Customer can see the approximate location of all trucks and trailers for which Customer has granted Sixfold access via Data Sources (telematics platform, TMS integration or the mobile app), as well as the allocated orders together with loading and unloading stations. Trucks and trailers are identified by their license plate numbers and only the latest approximate position of the respective vehicle that is known to Sixfold will be displayed.

ESSENTIALLY,

You can see all your connected vehicles’ last locations in Sixfold.

(3) Transport location and status

In order to provide visibility of transport status to other Participants of the Supply Chain, a Carrier needs to allocate a truck or trailer to a transport. During any given transport, the approximate location of the allocated truck or trailer as well as transport-related status information is made visible for the Customer, the Shipper and — if applicable and permitted by the Shipper — also to the Supplier and Goods Recipient.

Participants of the Supply Chain can only see visibility data for transports which have been explicitly accepted by Customer and for which Customer has allocated a vehicle. In addition, Customer may choose to provide location visibility for all or a subset of their vehicles to their trusted partners on Sixfold also if no transport is carried out to that partner. Customer is in full control, deciding which partners they want to provide such blanket visibility to, or revoke from, at any time.

ESSENTIALLY,

For Sixfold to work, you need to assign vehicles to shipments. Only those vehicles that you assign are visible to your customers — and only during the time of transport.

(4) Notifications regarding transports

Customers and Shippers are alerted about visibility events. The same applies for Goods Recipients, if applicable and permitted by the Shipper. If the allocated truck cannot be on time for an (un-)loading appointment, the aforementioned parties will be informed about the expected delay based on their preferences, which allows them to react proactively. Similar alerts are shown to the Customer and Shipper if the environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) in the trailer have been out of allowed bounds or the truck position cannot be retrieved by Sixfold’s tracking.

ESSENTIALLY,

You and your customers are alerted when your truck might get delayed or when we detect any other problem — so you can react and make decisions in advance.

(5) Reporting

In order to provide Customer and Shipper with an objective perspective on performance and quality of service, both parties have access to reporting functionality, that provides an aggregate picture of various performance metrics.

Sixfold may promote good carriers, potentially bringing them more business. In order to have objective criteria for assessing carriers, Customer’s performance is rated through objective performance criteriums and this rating might be made available to other Participants of the Supply Chain or the general public by Sixfold or its partners.

ESSENTIALLY,

We provide you and your customers analysis & reporting. Every carrier's performance is objectively rated by Sixfold and this rating may be made public.

(6) Prediction analysis

In order for Sixfold to be able to provide these services and assure the quality and confidence of its predictions, continuous analysis of collected data has to be commenced also during the times when no transport is assigned to the truck. By continuous analysis better geofencing of loading and unloading stations and intermediary stops will be achieved. By aggregating data across all the datasets, continuous improvements to Sixfold advanced trucking-specific geoinfo dataset and routing maps are made. When rendering prediction analysis Sixfold is responsible for the correct calculation logic behind, not for correctness of the data received from the Data Sources.

ESSENTIALLY,

In order to provide accurate ETAs and improve overall quality of service, Sixfold tracks and analyses vehicles also when no transport is ongoing.

(7) Map material and routing information

The map material and routing information used for displaying location and routing of a truck is taken from a Third Party provider. Customer is authorized to use the material only in terms of this Carrier Service Agreement. Any further use of the map material such as the translation, processing, changing or arranging of the data as well as the use of the data and any results received from the application for the purposes of setting up its own product such as, for example, geographical maps of Customer is not permitted. In case of any infringement of copyright or in case of any unauthorized extension of the use permitted, Customer is obliged to hold Sixfold harmless towards any claims of the Third Party provider.

ESSENTIALLY,

Third Party material used for Sixfold services can only be used in terms of this agreement.

(8) Carrier finder and capacity matching

Sixfold provides directly and through its Partners capacity matching and carrier finder functionality to Participants of the Supply Chain, bringing them more business opportunities.

No Participant will see individual vehicle locations through this functionality. Instead, characteristics like probability of available capacity in a region or frequency of servicing a region by a carrier are provided in aggregated form to the Participants.

Customer may choose to participate in this capacity related knowledge sharing, or stop participation, at any time.

ESSENTIALLY,

Sixfold may match interested shippers with you based on their shipping orders and the location history of your fleet if you opt in to such knowledge sharing.

(9) Value added services and improvements

Sixfold may use the data from the Data Sources in an anonymized, aggregated form and share it with its partners for the purpose of improving and further developing its services including but not limited to features like improved ETAs, border crossing delays and dwell times. Any partners that Sixfold transfers data to, will have entered into agreements with Sixfold that are no less protective than these Terms of Service.

Sixfold is not liable for any defects, which are caused by improper use or operation by Customer, or the use of unsuitable means of operation.

If the cause of the defect is not obvious to Customer, Sixfold will investigate the cause.
