1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms & Conditions are presented for review during the quote process. A transportation dispatch is not accepted until Lit Gnosis Transports LLC (“Carrier”) confirms the shipment and applicable rate in writing. Once a Customer, broker, shipper, consignee, or other arranging party books, tenders, or accepts an approved dispatch, these Terms & Conditions apply together with the controlling written quote, rate confirmation, or other accepted agreement.
2. Texas Operating Scope
The website currently advertises local, regional, and statewide transportation within Texas. Interstate transportation is not offered through this website. Services are subject to driver availability, vehicle capacity, insurance requirements, applicable credentials, and federal, state, and local law.
Unless separately agreed in writing and lawfully authorized, Carrier does not offer through this website household-goods moving service, passenger transportation, or transportation of hazardous or otherwise regulated materials requiring placarding, specialized authority, permits, or handling.
3. Quotes, Rates & Payment
Website pricing is a general guideline only. A dispatch is not accepted until Carrier confirms the shipment and rate. The final written quote or rate confirmation controls. Changes in mileage, stops, timing, dimensions, weight, waiting time, equipment needs, facility conditions, or services may result in additional charges.
Customer is responsible for the agreed transportation charge and applicable accessorial charges, tolls, parking, detention, dry-run/cancellation fees, Driver Assist charges, and other amounts disclosed or reasonably incurred under the agreed service.
4. No-Touch Freight — Standard Service
5. Optional Driver Assist — $100 Per Occurrence
If physical loading or unloading assistance is requested, the assigned driver may, at the driver’s sole discretion, agree to provide reasonable assistance. Driver Assist is separate from standard No-Touch Freight service and is not guaranteed.
When accepted, a $100 Driver Assist Fee per occurrence will be added to the shipment charges. A driver may refuse or stop assistance when the task is unsafe, excessively heavy, requires specialized equipment or training, presents an injury or property-damage risk, conflicts with facility rules, or exceeds the agreed scope of service.
6. Customer Loading, Packaging & Freight Information
Customer is responsible for providing accurate shipment information, including commodity description, piece count, dimensions, total weight, packaging, pickup and delivery locations, ready time, special handling requirements, declared value or coverage requirements, and any conditions that could affect safe transportation.
Shippers are responsible for packaging and loading freight in a condition suitable for transportation. Carrier may require freight to be repositioned, repackaged, reduced, removed, or otherwise corrected if it cannot be safely transported or secured.
7. Cargo Securement
After loading, the driver will use reasonable securement methods and available equipment appropriate to the assigned vehicle and shipment. Customer must disclose any shipment-specific securement standard or special equipment requirement before dispatch. Carrier may refuse a load that cannot be safely secured with the available vehicle and equipment.
8. Right to Refuse or Discontinue Service
Carrier and its drivers may refuse, pause, or discontinue a shipment when there is a reasonable safety, legal, capacity, documentation, facility-access, freight-description, packaging, loading, securement, payment, or operational concern. This includes materially inaccurate weight or dimensions and freight that differs materially from the information provided when the rate was accepted.
9. Detention, Delays & Facility Time
Free loading and unloading time, if any, is the amount stated in the quote or rate confirmation. After free time expires, detention may be charged at the published or agreed rate. Higher detention or priority rates may apply after hours, on weekends, or on holidays.
Carrier is not responsible for delays caused by facility congestion, shipper or receiver actions, road closures, severe weather, accidents, government action, mechanical emergencies, unsafe conditions, or other events outside Carrier’s reasonable control. Carrier will make reasonable efforts to communicate material delays.
10. Cancellations & Dry Runs
If a shipment is cancelled after dispatch, or the driver arrives and the freight is unavailable, not ready, materially different from the booked shipment, or cannot be safely transported, a dry-run, cancellation, detention, deadhead, or other agreed charge may apply.
11. Dedicated Transportation & Tracking
When booked as dedicated service, the shipment is intended to remain in the assigned vehicle from pickup through delivery with no planned cross-docking, terminal transfer, or co-mingling with unrelated freight. Exceptions may be made when required by law, safety, emergency circumstances, equipment failure, or Customer authorization.
GPS location sharing and milestone updates may be available for eligible shipments. Tracking availability, frequency, and accuracy may depend on device, network, platform, and operating conditions and are not guaranteed continuously.
12. Delivery & Proof of Delivery
Delivery to the address, consignee, receiving personnel, or other authorized location identified by Customer constitutes delivery when accepted in the ordinary course. Customer must provide accurate receiving instructions and contact information. Proof of delivery may be provided when applicable.
13. Claims, Cargo Value & Insurance Requirements
Customer must disclose high-value, fragile, specialized, or unusually sensitive freight and any required insurance limit before dispatch. Website statements do not expand the coverage, terms, exclusions, deductibles, or limits of any insurance policy.
Loss or damage should be reported promptly with available shipment documents, photographs, value documentation, and other supporting information. Claims are subject to applicable law, any controlling written transportation agreement, and applicable insurance terms. Nothing in these terms waives rights or responsibilities that cannot legally be waived.
14. Limitation of Damages
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Carrier will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages such as lost profits, lost production, loss of use, or business interruption arising from a shipment. Any enforceable cargo-liability limitation contained in a written quote, rate confirmation, transportation agreement, or applicable law will control. This section does not exclude liability that applicable law prohibits the parties from limiting.
15. Customer Responsibility & Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, Customer is responsible for losses, claims, fines, expenses, or damages arising from Customer’s inaccurate shipment information, improper packaging or loading, undisclosed regulated freight, unsafe facility conditions under Customer’s control, or instructions that violate law or these terms, except to the extent caused by Carrier’s negligence or other liability that cannot lawfully be shifted.
16. Driver & Facility Safety
Drivers are not required to enter unsafe areas, operate equipment they are not trained or authorized to use, violate facility rules, lift or handle freight beyond reasonable safe limits, or follow instructions that create an unreasonable risk. Safe access to pickup and delivery locations is the Customer’s responsibility.
17. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disaster, government action, road closure, civil emergency, widespread service outage, or similar events, except for payment obligations already earned.
18. Electronic Communications & Acceptance
Quotes, confirmations, notices, dispatch information, signatures, and acceptances may be transmitted electronically. Submission of the website quote form indicates acknowledgment of these Terms & Conditions for purposes of evaluating the request, but it does not create a dispatch, guarantee availability, or obligate either party to move the shipment until Carrier accepts the load in writing.
19. Governing Law & Severability
These terms are governed by applicable Texas law, except where federal law controls. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to the extent permitted by law.
