These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you, as a “Customer” and PUT Corporation (“PUT”), governing your use of the “Haultail®” application, website and technology platform (collectively “Haultail®”).
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS YOU AND PUT CAN BE BROUGHT (SEE SECTION 18 BELOW). THESE PROVISIONS, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST PUT TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and condition of this Agreement you may not use or access Haultail®.
- Haultail®
Haultail® provides a marketplace where persons or companies (“Customer” or “Customers”) who seek to dispose of certain materials, including construction/demolition debris (the “Demo Collection”) and/or desire pickup and delivery services (the “Delivery”) (Demo Collection and Delivery are sometimes collectively the “Services”) can be matched with persons who have made their vehicles available to provide such services to the Customers (“Drivers”) (Customers and Drivers are sometimes referred to herein as “Users”).
Construction/Demolition Debris Collection (“Demo Collection”). If a Customer chooses Demo Collection, they will be prompted to first identify the type and amount of materials to be picked up (i.e. number of Demobags® or other construction clean up bags, boxes or other materials), and then be prompted to take photographs of the items.Demo Collection is Curbside Only, meaning that all items to be picked up under Demo Collection must be brought to the curb at the end of your driveway or walkway. Upon arrival the Driver will confirm the amount of material to be picked up matched the order.Drivers shall have the right to refuse Services for any materials not expressly documented by Customer during the ordering process. Users are expressly prohibited from seeking to use Haultail® for any items other than those identified. Please note that depending on local laws and ordinances, Haultail® may not be used to dispose of certain materials, including but not limited to household trash or recyclables which would otherwise be disposed of by municipal waste/recycling companies. For a description of prohibited uses, please see Section 7, below, or for any questions with regard to restrictions in your area, you can also contact PUT through the Help Center at [email protected]
Delivery. If a Customer chooses Delivery, Haultail® will request that the Customer identify the items to be picked up and delivered, as well as the address for pick-up and delivery. Drivers are prohibited from picking up or delivering items other than to/from the addresses submitted to Haultail® by the Customer. Delivery is “DoortoDoor.” This means that Drivers will pick up items for Delivery and thereafter deliver them as close as physically possible to the front door at the pick-up/delivery addressas possible(or such other entrance as may reasonably be requested by the Customer, such as a garage door)without compromising the Driver’s vehicle or the items to be delivered. In the event that the pick-up or delivery address is an apartment, condominium, cooperative or other building with a common entrance, “door” shall mean an exterior common entrance.Drivers are prohibited from picking up items for Delivery or making Delivery inside of a Customer’s home, office or other structure(s), including an apartment, condominium, cooperative or other building with a common entrance. This service also does not include set up or assembly of items or the removal of packaging materials.Drivers have the right to refuse Delivery if the items do not match those submitted by the Customer to Haultail®.
Order ConfirmationA Customer may request Services by first selecting the type of service the Customer requires (i.e. Demo Collection or Delivery), the vehicle (i.e., truck, van) that the Customer requires and the address for pickup and/or delivery. Haultail® will calculate the Service Charges and the Customer will be prompted to confirm the order (the “Order”). Upon confirmation, PUT will match the Customer with an available Driver. Once matched, the Customer and Driver may only communicate regarding the Services through Haultail®. PUT uses a third-party provider to facilitate text, voice and other communications between Customer and Driver (to mask a party’s phone number and promote privacy). The third party’s terms of service will apply to the services the third party performs.
For purposes of this Agreement, any decision by a Customer to accept Services from any Driver is made at the Customer’s sole and absolute discretion. Each Service provided by a Driver to a Customer shall constitute a separate agreement between such person(s) or entity(ies).No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you, PUT, any Driver or other third party as a result of this Agreement or use of the Service. Drivers have the right to refuse Services if the items do not match those submitted by the Customer to Haultail®.
Driver Verification.Each Driver is required to drive only those vehicles which he or she has registered with Haultail®. Drivers are not permitted to have any passengers in their vehicles while performing the Services. All Drivers must also pass PUT’s vetting system, which includes a background check, driving record review, insurance, vehicle suitability, and other factors.Customers are responsible for ensuring that the Driver’s vehicle matches the vehicle on the Order confirmation and the Driver is as identified in the application. Drivers are responsible for insuring their vehicles to either PUT or the State of the vehicle’s registration requirements, whichever are greater.

Failure to submit a claim in accordance with the instructions provided may result in the denial of a claim.
Existing damage will be noted and photographed by Drivers prior to transport. Goods and other property that are damaged as a result of improper packaging for transport in a pickup truck (such as, but not limited to, televisions and other sensitive electronics) may not be covered. It is your responsibility to ensure that items are reasonably packaged and prepared for moving in the chosen vehicle type.
