Please read this carefully because it sets out the terms of a legally binding agreement between you and Truckaurbus.Introduction
In a nutshell
As a condition of your use of Truckaurbus (including truckaurbus.com and its related websites, services, applications and tools) you agree that you will not:
Registration
User Obligations You agree that you will not:
Abusing Truckaurbus Truckaurbus and the Truckaurbus community work together to keep the Truckaurbus websites, services, applications and tools working properly and the community safe. Please report problems, offensive content and policy breaches to us using the reporting system. Without limiting other remedies, we may issue warnings, limit or terminate our service, remove hosted content and take technical and legal steps to keep users off Truckaurbus if we think that they are creating problems, infringing the rights of third parties or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies (including, without limitation, circumventing temporary or permanent suspensions or harassing the Truckaurbus employees or other users). However, whether we decide to take any of these steps, remove hosted content or keep a user off Truckaurbus or not, we do not have any obligation to monitor the information transmitted or stored on our sites, services, applications and tools and we do not accept any liability for unauthorized or unlawful content on Truckaurbus or use of Truckaurbus by users. Fees and Services Using Truckaurbus is generally free, but we sometimes charge a fee for certain services. If the service you use incurs a fee, you'll be able to review and accept terms that will be clearly disclosed at the time you post your ad. Our fees are quoted in Pounds Sterling, and we may change them from time to time. We'll notify you of changes to our fee policy by posting such changes on the Truckaurbus website. We may choose to temporarily change our fees for promotional events or new services; these changes are effective when we announce the promotional event or new service. You are responsible for paying the Truckaurbus fees when they're due. If you don't, without prejudice to any other right or remedy we may be entitled to under these Terms of Use or by law, we may limit your ability to use the services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. You acknowledge that your ads may be deleted from the Truckaurbus sites, services, applications or tools in case we believe these Terms of Use, including our Posting Rules, are breached, either directly or indirectly. In case you would have paid a fee for the display of such ad, you may be entitled to a refund of such fee. However, we reserve the right not to refund the Truckaurbus users for any fees paid through use of our sites, services, applications and tools in the following cases:
Truckaurbus reserves the right to vary the amount of content and types of service that it makes available to different categories of user. If you are an Truckaurbus.com subscriber who has bought a listing/Advertising Plan, any reduction in the scope of your Plan will take effect only after we have given you at least 30 days’ (or the lifetime of the Plan whichever is shortest) notice, and will apply from the date of your next payment following that 30-day period. Contract formation: Truckaurbus will try to process your Plan subscription promptly but does not guarantee that your Plan will be activated by any specified time. By submitting your payment and other subscription details, you are making an offer to us to buy a Plan. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your payment details and email address, at which point we will provide you with access to your Plan. Truckaurbus reserves the right to reject any offer in its discretion, for any or no reason. Payment details: when you purchase a Plan, you must provide us with complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment details you promise that you are entitled to purchase a Plan using those payment details. If we do not receive payment authorization or any authorization is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to your subscription Plan. In suspicious circumstances we may contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities or other appropriate third parties. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms and conditions we will credit that refund to the card or other payment method you used to submit payment, unless it has expired in which case we will contact you. Pricing: the Plan subscription price will be made clear to you on our 'choose a Plan' pages or otherwise during the sign-up process and may vary from time to time or by country. You agree to pay the fees at the rates notified to you at the time you purchase your Plan. For certain Plans you can take out either an annual or monthly (or other frequency we offer) subscription. Other Plan services may only require a one-off payment. You can also take out any other fixed term or payment frequency that we may offer from time to time. The currency in which your Plan is payable will be specified during the order process, depending on the service and your country of residence. You may also have to pay any applicable local taxes. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term (or lifetime) of your Plan. We will always tell you in advance of any increase in the price of your Plan and offer you an opportunity to cancel it if you do not wish to pay the new price. Pricing errors: if we incorrectly state a price to you whether online or otherwise, we are not obliged to provide you with a Plan at that price, even if we have mistakenly accepted your offer to buy a Plan at that price, and we reserve the right to subsequently notify you of any pricing error. If we do this, you may cancel the Plan without any obligation to us and we will refund you any money you have paid us in full, or you may pay the correct price. If you refuse to exercise either of these choices then we may cancel your Plan and will refund you any money you have paid us in full. We will always act in good faith in determining whether a genuine pricing error has occurred. Other costs: in addition to any Plan subscription fees you pay, you are responsible for paying any internet connection or other telecommunications charges that you may incur by accessing Truckaurbus.com or using the services available on it. For example, if you use any of our mobile services then your network operator may charge you for data or messaging services. Trials: we may from time to time and at our discretion make a trial available to users, in which case we will only charge you for your Plan with effect from the expiry of the trial period. No more than one trial per user is allowed in any twelve month period.
