Version: 1.1
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between you and AdLane, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AdLane," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the AdLane websites, mobile applications, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). The Services connect businesses purchasing out-of-home vehicle advertising ("Advertisers") with independent vehicle owner-operators who elect to display advertising on their personal vehicles ("Drivers"). Advertisers and Drivers are each a "User."
Please read these Terms carefully. Section 14 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver) requires you to resolve disputes with AdLane through individual arbitration and to waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action, except as prohibited by applicable law. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by following the procedure in Section 14.7.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the documents incorporated by reference, including the AdLane Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.
These Terms are concluded between you and AdLane only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple") or Google LLC ("Google"). AdLane, not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the AdLane mobile application (the "App") and its content.
AdLane grants you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products or Android devices that you own or control, solely as permitted by the usage rules of the applicable App Store and these Terms. You may not lease, lend, sell, redistribute, sublicense, decompile, reverse engineer, or modify the App except as expressly permitted by applicable law.
AdLane is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App as required by applicable law or as AdLane elects to provide. Apple and Google have no obligation whatsoever to furnish maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
AdLane is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. As between AdLane and Google, Google shall similarly have no warranty obligation.
AdLane, not Apple or Google, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, AdLane, not Apple or Google, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You and AdLane acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
The App facilitates the purchase, scheduling, and management of physical, out-of-home advertising services that are performed in the real world. Consistent with Apple App Store Review Guideline 3.1.5(a) and the equivalent Google Play policy, fees for these physical services are processed outside of the App Store In-App Purchase system.
To the extent AdLane offers digital goods, premium features, or auto-renewing subscriptions delivered through the App in the future, those purchases will be processed through the applicable App Store In-App Purchase mechanism, and the following terms will apply: the subscription term, price, and renewal interval will be disclosed at the point of sale; subscriptions will auto-renew at the then-current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; cancellation must be made through your Apple ID or Google Account settings; and any unused portion of a free trial will be forfeited upon purchase of a subscription, where applicable.
AdLane operates a technology platform that connects Advertisers with Drivers. AdLane is a technology company; it is not an advertising agency, a transportation provider, an employer of any Driver, or the owner of any vehicle. AdLane does not produce, own, edit, or control the creative content of any Advertiser, and does not perform or supervise any driving.
You agree to provide true, current, and complete information during registration, including any government-issued identifiers, vehicle registration data, and tax forms required for compensation. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account.
You and AdLane expressly agree that, as a Driver, you are an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, partner, or franchisee of AdLane. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, joint venture, partnership, or franchise relationship between you and AdLane. The parties intend that this relationship satisfy Oregon's independent-contractor statute, ORS 670.600, including its direction-and-control and independently established business elements; the so-called ABC Test where applied; and the federal economic-realities test and analogous standards under any other applicable state law.
Consistent with ORS 670.600(2), AdLane does not direct or control the means or manner by which you provide services. Specifically:
Consistent with ORS 670.600(3) and the third prong of the ABC Test, you represent and warrant that you are customarily engaged in an independently established business. You acknowledge and agree that the following indicators apply to your relationship with AdLane:
In jurisdictions that apply an ABC Test to determine contractor status, the parties agree that the provisions of Section 3.2 satisfy the freedom-from-control prong; AdLane's usual course of business is operating a software platform that matches Advertisers with independent vehicle owner-operators, while operating a personal motor vehicle on public roads is outside that usual course; and the provisions of Section 3.3 satisfy the independently-established-business prong.
You are not entitled to any of the rights or benefits afforded to AdLane's employees, including health insurance, paid time off, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, or retirement benefits. AdLane will not withhold federal, state, or local income, payroll, or self-employment taxes from amounts paid to you. AdLane will issue IRS Form 1099-NEC or 1099-K, as applicable, to Drivers meeting the relevant reporting thresholds. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes arising from your activity on the platform.
To register and remain active as a Driver, you represent and warrant on a continuing basis that:
You must maintain, at your sole expense and at all times while participating in any campaign, a personal automobile liability insurance policy that meets or exceeds the minimum coverage limits required by the state in which the vehicle is registered.
You acknowledge that many personal automobile insurance policies contain a livery, for-hire, business-use, or commercial-use exclusion. Driving with AdLane campaign materials displayed may constitute commercial use under your policy. If your insurer denies, rescinds, or limits coverage for this reason, you, not AdLane, are financially responsible for the full amount of any resulting claim, judgment, or loss.
Before displaying any campaign materials, you are required to review your policy or contact your insurer in writing to confirm whether vehicle advertising for compensation is covered. Where it is not, you must add a rideshare endorsement, delivery endorsement, commercial-use endorsement, hired-and-non-owned-auto endorsement, or separate commercial auto policy sufficient to extend coverage to your platform activity. You agree to maintain the endorsement or commercial policy for so long as you display campaign materials, and to provide proof on AdLane's reasonable request.
AdLane provides no commercial auto, general liability, collision, comprehensive, uninsured-motorist, or personal-injury-protection coverage to Drivers. AdLane is not your insurance broker and does not advise on coverage adequacy.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AdLane, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, fees, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to any denial, rescission, limitation, or non-payment of an insurance claim by your personal or commercial auto insurer based in whole or in part on your use of the vehicle for compensation or the presence of AdLane campaign materials; your failure to maintain required coverage; or any third-party claim against AdLane that would, in the ordinary course, have been covered by an appropriately endorsed personal or commercial policy.
AdLane or an Advertiser may make available physical advertising materials ("Campaign Materials"), including magnetic panels, removable decals, static-cling films, and partial or full vinyl wraps. You agree to apply, display, and remove Campaign Materials strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's and AdLane's written instructions. You assume all physical and financial risk associated with affixing Campaign Materials to your vehicle, including paint or clear-coat oxidation, fade differential, adhesive residue, micro-abrasion, rust acceleration, decal "ghosting," wrap lifting, and any incidental damage occurring during application or removal. AdLane disclaims liability for vehicle damage, except where such damage is directly and proximately caused by AdLane's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and in no event for damage caused by ordinary wear and tear, weather exposure, vehicle age, pre-existing paint condition, or third parties.
Driver compensation is variable and is calculated by AdLane's algorithmic methodology based on factors including verifiable physical presence within campaign coverage parameters, distance traveled within those parameters, time of day, and the funding rate set by the relevant Advertiser. Driving outside disclosed coverage parameters does not generate compensation. AdLane does not guarantee any minimum amount of compensation, any minimum number of campaign opportunities, or that any campaign opportunity will be available at any given time.
AdLane's server-side telemetry, location logs, and timestamped event records constitute the exclusive system of record for compensation calculations. Third-party odometers, mileage trackers, manual logs, screenshots, and user-side device data will not be accepted as authority to modify a payout calculation.
If you in good faith identify a mathematical or factual discrepancy in a payout, you must submit a written dispute through the Services within seven (7) calendar days of payout issuance. Disputes submitted after the audit window are waived. AdLane will respond within a reasonable time and may, in its sole discretion, adjust the payout if it determines an error occurred.
Telemetry must reflect actual physical reality. The following are strictly prohibited and constitute material breaches of these Terms:
AdLane may use automated systems to detect anomalies and may require re-verification of identity, device, or location at any time. Engaging in any conduct prohibited under this Section 4.4 may result in immediate suspension or permanent deactivation, withholding or claw-back of affected payouts, referral to law-enforcement authorities, and pursuit of all available legal remedies.
Payouts are facilitated by Stripe Connect. By accepting these Terms, you also accept Stripe's connected-account agreement and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and anti-money-laundering requirements. AdLane is not responsible for payout delays caused by Stripe or by inaccurate information you provide.
Driver compensation for any campaign is funded by, and contingent upon, the corresponding Advertiser's payment to AdLane. AdLane is not the guarantor of any Advertiser's obligations and has no liability to Drivers for an Advertiser's default, chargeback, insolvency, or failure to remit. Where commercially feasible, AdLane will use reasonable efforts to collect amounts owed by an Advertiser and to remit any recovery to affected Drivers, net of collection costs.
Advertisers represent and warrant that they own, or hold all rights necessary to use and to authorize AdLane and Drivers to display, the creative content, trademarks, logos, slogans, photography, illustrations, and any other material submitted as Campaign Materials. Advertisers grant AdLane a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to reproduce, display, distribute, and produce derivative works of the Campaign Materials solely as necessary to deliver the Services. Advertisers retain all ownership rights in the Campaign Materials.
Advertisers are solely responsible for ensuring Campaign Materials comply with all applicable federal, state, and municipal laws, regulations, and industry guidelines, including FTC advertising rules, the Lanham Act, state consumer-protection statutes, vehicle-signage and mobile-billboard ordinances, and the AdLane Acceptable Use Policy. The Advertiser bears absolute liability for any claim of trademark infringement, copyright infringement, right-of-publicity violation, false advertising, defamation, or public nuisance arising out of Campaign Materials.
Advertisers agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AdLane, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and Drivers from and against any third-party claim arising out of or relating to Campaign Materials, the Advertiser's products or services advertised, the Advertiser's breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or the Advertiser's violation of any law or third-party right.
Your use of the Services is subject to the AdLane Acceptable Use Policy and incorporated by reference. Violations may result in immediate suspension or termination, forfeiture of fees, and removal of Campaign Materials from circulation, in addition to any other remedies available to AdLane.
Because Advertiser content on AdLane is displayed on the personal vehicles of independent Drivers in public spaces, AdLane enforces strict content guidelines designed to protect Drivers, the public, and AdLane's platform. AdLane reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse, remove, or terminate any campaign or account that violates this policy, without refund.
Advertisers may not submit, and AdLane will not distribute, Campaign Materials that promote, depict, or facilitate any of the following:
All creative assets must be reviewed and approved by AdLane before deployment. Creative may not:
AdLane reserves the right to reject creative that uses third-party trademarks without authorization, and to reject campaign requests from direct competitors of AdLane in the gig-economy or out-of-home vehicle-advertising space, except under a managed enterprise contract approved in writing by an AdLane officer.
Drivers must operate vehicles lawfully and safely at all times, may not tamper with or alter Campaign Materials, and may not engage in activity that brings AdLane or an Advertiser into disrepute. Violations may result in immediate suspension and forfeiture of pending payouts.
If you believe content on the AdLane platform violates this policy or any law, contact drive@adlane.ai. AdLane will review reports promptly and take action as appropriate.
THE SERVICES, THE APP, AND ALL CONTENT AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THEM ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ADLANE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ADLANE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY PARTICULAR LEVEL OF IMPRESSIONS, REACH, OR REVENUE WILL BE ACHIEVED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ADLANE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; LOST REVENUE; LOST DATA; LOSS OF GOODWILL; OR DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ADLANE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
ADLANE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID BY OR TO YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
ADLANE IS NOT LIABLE, AND DOES NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY, FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY DRIVER, INCLUDING TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS, MOVING VIOLATIONS, ACCIDENTS, COLLISIONS, INJURIES, FATALITIES, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR ANY ALLEGED DISTRACTED-DRIVING INCIDENT INVOLVING A DRIVER, ANOTHER MOTORIST, OR A PEDESTRIAN, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE PRESENCE, DESIGN, CONTENT, OR DISPLAY OF CAMPAIGN MATERIALS OR OTHERWISE.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AdLane and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, investigations, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the Services; your violation of these Terms or any policy incorporated by reference; your violation of any law or third-party right; for Drivers, your operation of a motor vehicle; and for Advertisers, the Campaign Materials. AdLane reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification, in which event you will cooperate with AdLane's defense.
AdLane and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, the App, and all related software, content, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Subject to these Terms, AdLane grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for their intended purpose. If you submit any feedback, ideas, or suggestions concerning the Services, you grant AdLane a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use them without obligation or compensation.
Your use of the Services is governed by the AdLane Privacy Policy. For Drivers, the Services require precise, background-collected geolocation data while a campaign is active. AdLane will request your explicit, OS-level consent to such collection before the first campaign begins. You may revoke that consent at any time through your device settings; however, revocation will pause your eligibility for campaign compensation for so long as the consent is withheld.
You may terminate your account at any time through the Services or by contacting drive@adlane.ai. AdLane may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Services, with or without notice, for any reason, including a violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; suspected fraud, abuse, or unlawful conduct; extended account inactivity; or if AdLane is required to do so by law. Upon termination, your right to access the Services ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive, including Sections 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, and 16, will survive termination.
AdLane may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice, for example by email to the address associated with your account or by in-Service notice, at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect, except where shorter notice is required by law or for security reasons. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 14.
Before initiating arbitration, you and AdLane agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. To begin, you must send a written notice of dispute to drive@adlane.ai describing the claim and the relief sought. The parties will negotiate in good faith during the informal-resolution period. Statutes of limitation will be tolled during this period.
If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified here. The arbitration will be conducted in Multnomah County, Oregon or, at your election, by telephone or videoconference. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND ADLANE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF.
If 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against AdLane within a 90-day period by the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be administered as a "Mass Arbitration" under the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules then in effect, or any successor rules adopted by the AAA, including the AAA's mass-arbitration fee schedule, process-arbitrator procedures, and bellwether and global-mediation provisions. The parties agree that the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules will govern such proceedings in lieu of the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules' default fee and case-management provisions. This Section does not waive any individual claim, and any Driver or Advertiser remains free to opt out of arbitration under Section 14.7.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in the county of your residence, and seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or to prevent unauthorized access to the Services. Claims that cannot be arbitrated as a matter of law are excluded from this Section.
You may opt out of Section 14, other than the governing-law clause, by sending a signed written notice to drive@adlane.ai within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and an unambiguous statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.
AdLane will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, pandemics, internet or telecommunications outages, or third-party service-provider failures.
Questions about these Terms may be sent to drive@adlane.ai.
