Our Services Unite Drivers and Senders
Our Platform makes possible a connection between those individuals and/or businesses (“Senders“) that want to contract with someone to pick-up, carry and/or deliver personal property and goods (“Delivery Services“) and those individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform the Delivery Services (“Drivers“). The performance of Delivery Services by a Driver, the time period in which these Delivery Services are performed by a Driver, as well as the item(s) of personal property and goods being picked-up, carried and/or delivered by a Driver, are collectively referred to as a “Gig”. Drivers and Senders together are referred to as “Users“ of our Platform.
Our Platform connects third party Drivers who want to deliver Gigs for third party Senders, and gives those Senders a way to find those Drivers and schedule their Gigs. Drivers are self-employed/independent contractors who choose to perform Delivery Services for Senders posting Gigs on our Platform. At no time does Senpex control whether or when a Sender posts a particular Gig, or whether or when a Driver chooses to offer for a particular Gig. Agreeing to perform Delivery Services for Senders through the Senpex Platform does not preclude a Driver from providing Delivery Services, or any other types of services, under another platform or for other persons simultaneously
SENPEX IS A LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT PLATFORM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. WE ARE NOT A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER. IT IS THE THIRD PARTY DRIVER’S SOLE DECISION WHETHER TO OFFER FOR AND PROVIDE THE DELIVERY SERVICES REQUESTED BY A SENDER.
Senpex Not Responsible for the Actions of its Drivers or its Senders
Our Platform enables connections between our Users to contract for Gigs; however Senpex has no control over and is not responsible for the performance, actions or inactions of any User, whether associated with the use of our Platform or the receiving or providing the Delivery Services via our Platform, in public, private, or offline interactions, or otherwise.

ANY USER FOUND TO HAVE VIOLATED SENPEX’S NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY
OR ITS RESPECT OTHERS POLICY WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE ALL ACCESS TO THE SENPEX PLATFORM.
Senpex Non-Discrimination Policy
Senpex and its affiliates prohibit discrimination against any User or other third party based on race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable law. Senpex wants all of our Users to feel safe and welcome and we do not tolerate any conduct that we determine to be discriminatory.
Such discrimination includes, but is not limited to, intentionally refusing or canceling Gigs solely for the purpose of avoiding a particular neighborhood due to the characteristics of the people or businesses that are located in that area or because you are uncomfortable with certain persons based on traits such as age, color, disability, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.
Senpex Respect Others Policy
Senpex prohibits all Users from displaying any aggressive, confrontational, intimidating, threatening or harassing behavior toward others, including without limitation:
- Hitting, hurting, or intending to hurt any person or animal, or threatening to do the same
- Using language or making gestures that could be disrespectful, harassing or threatening.
- Sexual assault or sexual harassment or misconduct of any kind. Assault includes any intentional bodily contact made without explicit consent of the other person, and sexual harassment and misconduct, includes without limitation unconsented to advances, behaviors and remarks like nudging, whistling, winking or flirting, discussing your own or someone else’s sex life, using explicit language, or making jokes about sex.
- Disrespecting personal space and/or privacy, like standing unnecessarily close, or commenting on personal appearance, perceived gender identity, or sexual orientation, or asking unrelated personal questions.
Background Checks
Driver Background Checks
Drivers are required to be screened via a standard background check conducted by a thirdparty Credit Reporting Agency (“CRA” and “Background Check”). During registration as a Driver, you are required to provide a valid driver’s license and Social Security Number and consent to Senpex having our CRA conduct a Background Check on you at that time prior to allowing you to perform Gigs, and also at any time thereafter, as and when determined in our sole discretion, without any additional consent from you (or otherwise as allowed pursuant to applicable law). The Senpex Background Check Process consists of a criminal background check and Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) report, and does not include a credit check. The full details of what is needed to pass the Background Check and other details can be found in our FAQ.

The Senpex Background Check is conducted by an independent third-party CRA. Senpex has no responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of the identity of any Driver, the completeness of the information provided to complete the Background Check or the results of the Background Check. Senpex has no liability for any action taken or omission made by it or any third party in response to information provided by such CRA, including using any information provided therein to make a decision about whether a Driver may perform any Gig.
SENDERS SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK A DRIVER’S IDENTIFICATION AND MATCH IT TO THE DRIVER’S INFORMATION IN THE APP PRIOR TO HANDING OVER THEIR GIG.
Sender Screening
Senpex does not conduct Background Checks or screening on any Sender for the purposes of allowing them to access and use our Platform to arrange for Delivery Services. However Senpex reserves the right to begin conducting such checks and screening of Senders as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
Any screening or Background Check process is not a substitute for your good judgment when interacting with other Users. At all times while accessing or using our Platform and during the time of any Gig, you must exercise caution and use your common sense.
ALL USERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY ACCESSING AND USING OUR PLATFORM TO RECEIVE OR PERFORM DELIVERY SERVICES, THEY MAY BE EXPOSED TO UNKNOWN THIRDPARTIES AND CONTENTS IN GIGS THAT MAY BE OR ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, OFFENSIVE, HARMFUL, UNSAFE OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE.
Driver’s Responsibilities
Permits, Auto Insurance and Health Insurance
Because Drivers act as their own employer in providing Delivery Services via the Senpex Platform, Senpex does not, and has no responsibility to, provide or pay for any permit, license or insurance a Driver may need or that may be advisable, to perform Delivery Services via the Senpex Platform. Many states require a Driver to be a certain age, and have permits and/or licenses to carry certain Gigs. Additionally, many insurance companies will require a Driver to have some level of commercial insurance if using a personal vehicle for business purposes and all Drivers should be aware that their standard automobile liability insurance may not provide them coverage while a Driver is engaged in performing a Gig or while or logged into the App.
Senpex does not provide health insurance, or any other compensation to Drivers if they are hurt or injured while performing a Gig and Senpex does not carry workers’ compensation insurance for any Driver unless specifically required by State law. For these reasons, all Drivers are required to have adequate health insurance prior to performing a Gig. Only you can know if you are physically capable of handling a Gig you agree to deliver and Senpex is not liable to you for any costs or damages you may suffer if you are hurt or injured while performing a Gig. At all times you are solely responsible for the costs of any medical care you may require due to any such injury.
It is a Drivers’ responsibility to know what auto insurance, health insurance, licenses and permits are required or recommended and to procure the same prior to offering on Gigs. A Driver must have valid auto insurance in such amounts as required by State Law and its insurer to cover Driver’s performance of Gigs through the Senpex Platform PRIOR to offering on Gigs. A Driver will not be allowed to deliver Gigs and will be removed from the Platform if the Driver does not have auto insurance coverage in at least the minimum amounts required by the State in which the Driver provides Delivery Services. A Driver must carry proof of all required auto insurance coverage at all times while performing Gigs and must provide the same to Senpex and/or other authorities and officials upon request.
You expressly acknowledge that Senpex does not provide automobile liability, workers’ compensation or health insurance coverage to Drivers and is not responsible for paying for any liability that may arise from a Driver’s performance of a Gig, including any bodily injury or damage to property caused by or to the Driver while on a Gig
You expressly acknowledge that provision of Delivery Services through the Platform may have financial consequences to you related to personal income tax and personal property tax liabilities.
A DRIVER MUST HAVE THE REQUIRED INSURANCE, LICENSES AND PERMITS TO CARRY ALL GIGS AND ITEMS CONTAINED IN GIG WHETHER OR NOT LISTED AS A SPECIAL ITEM.
ALL DRIVERS SHOULD CHECK WITH PROFESSIONALS TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE REQUIRED INSURANCE, LICENSES AND PERMITS BEFORE YOU OFFER FOR THE GIG.
SENPEX HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DRIVER OR SENDER NOT HAVING THE PROPER AUTHORITY, PERMITS, LICENSES OR INSURANCE TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS AGREED UPON ON THE PLATFORM.
Driver’s Obligations With Respect to Confidential Information
During the performance of Gigs, Drivers will have access to the “Confidential Information” of many third parties, including without limitation, the Confidential Information of Senpex, Senders, and/or Gig recipients. “Confidential Information” means all information, whether oral, written, contained on electronic media or otherwise, to which a Driver is given or has access to, or is made available to the Driver in connection with the performance of Gigs, including without limitation names, addresses, telephone numbers and other information which may be used to specifically identify a person (“PII” or “Personally Identifiable Information”), and health information protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPPA” and “Protected Health Information”).
Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, all information regarding Senpex’s personnel or customer information of Senpex, Senders and/or Gig recipients of which a Driver becomes aware
Senpex and Drivers have special obligations with respect to the protection of Personally Identifiable Information and Protected Health Information and a Driver is responsible for both knowing those obligations and complying with the same. Failure to meet these obligations will result in the Driver’s permanent removal from the Senpex Platform and the Driver shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information PII refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. It is important to recognize that non-PII can become PII whenever additional information is made available — in any medium and from any source — that, when combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual. Senpex and Drivers are under a strict obligation not to use or disclose PII except as necessary to perform and deliver Gigs.
Protected Health Information
If a Driver delivers Gigs containing prescriptions, medicines or other medical documents, the Driver may have access to Protected Health Information. Senpex and Drivers are under a strict obligation not to use or disclose the Protected Health Information of anyone except as necessary to perform and deliver Gigs. In addition, these Drivers must comply with all federal, state and local laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended, and all regulations and agency guidance applicable to “business associates”. To learn more about complying with these regulations, please clink on the below link:

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU, AS A USER OF THE SENPEX PLATFORM ARE SUBJECT TO A STRICT DUTY TO MAINTAIN THE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ALL SUCH CONFIDENTIAL AND PERSONAL INFORMATION AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY YOU DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR USE SUCH INFORMATION FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAN TO RECEIVE OR PERFORM DELIVERY SERVICES VIA THE SENPEX PLATFORM.

These Senders are required to disclose each such Special Item when setting up the Gig and must fully comply with all restrictions with respect to the Special Item set forth below, as well as all applicable laws and regulations with respect to such Special Items:
- Cigarettes or any tobacco product, wine, beer or any other alcoholic beverages or any other product regulated and controlled by the United States Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).

Some Gigs containing Special Items require Drivers to be 21 years of age and many Gigs containing Special Items also require Drivers to possess special qualifications, permits, licenses and/or insurance before offering on any Gig containing such items. Gigs containing HAZMAT may require the Driver to have a special vehicle, equipment or license in order to carry and deliver the Gig.
DRIVERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING AND COMPLYING WITH ALL RULES AND REQUIREMENTS TO CARRY A GIG CONTAINING ANY SPECIAL ITEMS PRIOR TO OFFERING ON SUCH GIG, WHETHER RULES AND REQUIREMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THESE TERMS AND/OR IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Cigarettes, Tobacco Products, Wine, Beer Or Other Alcoholic Beverages
A Driver must be 21 years of age to deliver any Gig containing cigarettes, tobacco products, wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages.
When delivering a Gig including cigarettes, tobacco products, wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages, a Driver shall request a valid, government-issued identification demonstrating that the Gig recipient is 21 years of age or older. Examples of valid, government-issued IDs are Driver’s licenses, Passports, U.S. military IDs (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DoD civilians), and Permanent Resident Cards.
When delivering a Gig including wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages, a Driver shall also verify that the Gig recipient is not visibly intoxicated before delivering the Items. Many States have laws prohibiting the delivery of any alcoholic beverages to anyone who is visibly intoxicated and a Driver can be personally liable for doing so. Before offering on a Gig containing any alcoholic beverage a Driver must be familiar with the signs of visible intoxication.
What are the signs of “Visible Intoxication”?
If you can tell on sight that a person has been drinking or using other drugs, the person is visibly intoxicated. Some common signs of visible intoxication are listed below. These are not all of the possible signs. And if a person shows just one or two of these signs that does not necessarily mean the person is intoxicated. But if a person shows a combination of several signs that could be a strong indication that the person is intoxicated. Remember that intoxication can result from the use of drugs other than alcohol.
IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, DON’T DELIVER THE GIG AND CONTACT SENPEX SUPPORT.

HAZMAT may be sent only in small or excepted quantities as defined in 49 CFR A major problem for most folks is recognizing HAZMAT that may include common household items such as alcohol, or seemingly benign items like dry ice (solid carbon dioxide or CO₂).

https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2011-title49-vol2/CFR-2011-title49-vol2-part172It is every Driver’s and Sender’s duty and obligation to know and comply with all applicable federal and state laws relating to the pick-up and delivery locations of any Gig and all items contained in a Gig, whether a Special Item or not, including without limitation those laws governing the transportation of items over State lines, prohibiting the transportation or shipment of certain items both within a State and between States, restricting the amounts of certain items that can be shipped, and age restrictions. Senpex has no liability or responsibility if a Driver or Sender fails to comply with these Terms or all applicable laws with respect to the inclusion or acceptance of any items contained in a Gig or during the performance of the Gig.
Senpex is not responsible for the contents or loss of any Prohibited Item or any undisclosed Special Item. Senpex reserves the right to dispose of any Senpex Prohibited Item in its sole discretion and reserves all rights to instruct its Drivers on how to dispose of any Senpex Prohibited Item, including delivery to the proper authorities.
SENPEX HAS AND TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO EITHER DRIVERS OR SENDERS FOR THE INCLUSION OF ANY PROHIBITED ITEMS IN ANY GIG OR A SENDER’S FAILURE TO DISCLOSE A SPECIAL ITEM OR LIVE ANIMAL OR A DRIVER’S OR SENDER’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ALL LAWS APPLICABLE TO IT.
Oversized Items
Senders are prohibited from including Oversized Items in Gigs. However many Gigs contain items that are just underneath the Oversized Item limit, and these bulky and/or heavier items require a Driver to have a larger vehicle, special equipment and/or physical strength in order to fulfill the Gig properly. Senders are required to accurately post the size of the Gig they request, and before offering on a Gig containing any bulky or heavy items a Driver is required to have the proper vehicle, equipment and physical capacity to perform the Gig as posted. A Driver does not have the proper vehicle and/or equipment to fit and secure the Gig and/or are not physically capable of handling a Gig the Driver may not offer on the Gig. All Drivers acknowledge and agree that Senpex is not liable to any Driver for any costs or damages you may suffer if you are hurt or injured while performing a Gig and that you are not qualified to receive any heath care or other compensation from Senpex if the Driver is injured performing a Gig – whether or not the Gig contains, bulky, heavy or Oversized Item(s). Drivers acknowledge and agree that at all times you are solely responsible for the costs of any medical care you may require due to any injury received while performing any Gig.
Packaging
Sender Open Box Policy
Senpex encourages the use of minimal packaging both to help our environment and so our Drivers know what they are taking along on their ride. When packaging is required or desired, Senpex supports and strongly encourages its Drivers and Senders to always use an Open Box Policy.
Senpex’s Open Box Policy means our Senders should always leave packaging open so that a Driver may inspect the contents before leaving with the Gig. If a Sender doesn’t leave the packaging open, a Driver always has the right to require a Sender to open packaging to inspect items before leaving with the Gig.
New In Box Items
If all or part of a Gig contains new-in-box items that have been pre-packaged by the Sender and are not open for a Driver to inspect, a Driver has the responsibility to inspect the outside of the packaging. If there is any damage to the outside of the packaging, the Driver should note any damage (it is easiest to take a picture and send it to contact@senpex.com, and wait for instructions from Senpex on what to do next with the damaged Gig.
Baggage
f all or part of a Gig contains suitcases, pieces of luggage, purses, handbags, wallets, or other bags containing personal effects (collectively, “Baggage”) the Driver shall have no right to request or to inspect the contents, however a Driver still has the responsibility to inspect the outside of the Baggage. If there is damage to the Baggage, the Driver should note any damage (it is easiest to take a picture and send it to contact@senpex.com, and wait for instructions from Senpex on what to do next with the damaged Gig
No matter whether the Gig is pre-packaged or open for inspection, if a Driver does not note any damage to an item in the Gig while picking the Gig up, it will be assumed that the damage will have been caused while in the Driver’s possession and
THE DRIVER WILL BE LIABLE THEREFOR.
A Driver is NEVER under an obligation to take or bring anything that the Driver has not been given the right to inspect as described and limited above and can always cancel the Gig without penalty if a Sender does not allow you to inspect or gives you a hard time about asking to inspect the Gig as required by Senpex.
Packing Your Gigs Generally
Senders have the responsibility to package items appropriately based on level of risk, fragility and other factors specific to the individual item. Senpex is not liable for loss or damage to any Gig if it is not properly packed to withstand transport, or to ensure the safety and integrity of the item or in compliance with all applicable laws.
All packaging for such items should be based on the characteristics of the item, in the sole discretion of the Sender. Senpex cannot know what packaging is necessary for any item you send. Please use your common sense when packing your Gig. It is a requirement of receiving reimbursement from the Senpex Protection Plan that you adequately package your Gig. Senpex Inc. has no and will have no responsibility to protect you under its Protection Plan for any loss of, or damage to, any item that has not been adequately packed.
Packing Live Animals
All live animals must be packed in a cage or box that is adequate enough to contain the animal, including taking into account likely bursting and crushing. Packages containing animals requiring moisture during the Gig must be constructed of water-resistant material such as wax coated, wax impregnated, or plastic corrugated. Ventilation holes should be provided as necessary.
Internal packaging materials must be used based on the characteristics of the animal, taking into consideration the necessary humane care for the animal during a Gig. Lizards and geckos should be individually contained in bags constructed of breathable material, such as burlap. Insects should be contained in individual primary containers such as plastic jars with ventilation. Fish must be double bagged in strong plastic bags with a minimum thickness of 4 mils. Each primary bag should be approximately one third full of water with the remainder filled with oxygen.
Unless otherwise specifically arranged with the Driver, a Sender shall provide Driver with adequate food, water, food and water bowls and any other items required to provide for the needs of the animal during the Gig. A Sender must also provide Driver with any additional packaging needed to prevent movement of any primary containers or receptacles within the outer box containing an animal.
Drivers MUST transport ALL animals INSIDE an appropriately heated or air-conditioned vehicle, with all temperature controls in good working order. Under no circumstances may any animal be transported in the trunk or trunk bed of any vehicle. Drivers are required to provide the animal food and water at regular intervals, and regular stops to allow the animal to relieve itself and otherwise as needed for the animal(s) in the Gig. Drivers are required to provide any other additional components such as moisture; bedding and securing of packaging within the vehicle should be added as necessary to provide a safe environment during the Gig.
Senpex Protection Plan
Senpex wants you to feel confident that your Gig is in good hands. The Senpex Protection Plan will reimburse a Sender for its actual costs to replace or repair Senders’ items of personal property lost or damaged, or stolen during a Gig if arising directly from a Driver’s negligence or willful misconduct, up to a maximum of $250.00 per Gig. Such maximum applies no matter how many items are included in the Gig.
Additional Protection
Additionally, a Sender has the option to purchase Additional Protection for higher value Gigs if they email Senpex notifying them of the Additional Protection option via contact@senpex.com. The current cost of Additional Protection will be shown in the App when a Sender arranges for the Gig and any Additional Protection must be purchased at the time the Gig is arranged. No Additional Protection can or will be added once the Gig is assigned to a Driver.
If a Sender purchases Additional Protection, Senpex will reimburse a Sender for its actual costs to replace or repair Senders’ items of personal property that may be lost or damaged, or stolen during a Gig and arising directly from a Driver’s negligence or willful misconduct, up to a maximum amount equal to the Additional Protection purchased. The total amount of Additional Protection purchased for a Gig applies no matter how many items are included in the Gig.
A Sender must prove the value of the item(s) in the Gig subject to the claim, regardless of the value declared or the amount of Additional Protection purchased. Senpex will not pay on a claim without proof of the declared value. You must also provide documentation that verifies the replacement or repair cost of the item subject to the claim.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NO MATTER WHAT TOTAL VALUE YOU DECLARE FOR YOUR GIG OR ANY INDIVIDUAL ITEMS CONTAINED IN SUCH GIG, SENPEX’S MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT TO YOU FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY OR ALL ITEMS IN THE GIG IS $250.00 UNLESS YOU PURCHASE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION.
Qualification for Protection
To qualify for the Senpex Protection Plan, the Sender must declare the value of all items in the Gig and comply with Senpex’s other requirements when initiating the Gig in the App or on the Website, including taking a picture of all items included in a Gig. When submitting a claim, the Sender must complete a claim form and fully cooperate with Senpex in investigating the claim and shall provide such information and documentation as Senpex shall reasonably request in connection with the same including, where applicable, any packaging used by the Sender for the damaged item, proof of value of the damaged item, and where applicable, a satisfactory police report. Senpex will have no liability to a Sender, and no responsibility to pay on a Sender’s claim, if the Sender does not cooperate with Senpex in investigating the claim.
Limits on Recovery
Senpex’s liability to any Sender for loss, damage or theft of the Sender’s personal property during a Gig is always limited to a Sender’s actual, documented costs to repair or replace the items subject to the claim. This is true whether the basic Protection is applicable or if the Sender has purchased Additional Protection. No matter the amount of Protection purchased, Senpex will only pay a Sender for Sender’s actual, documented costs to repair or replace the items subject to the claim. Additionally, notwithstanding a Sender’s purchase of Additional Protection, Senpex is not liable for loss and/or damage to any Gig or any item(s) therein if the item(s) are not properly packed to withstand transport.
The Senpex Protection Plan limits a Sender’s recovery for loss or damage to certain items and these limits apply whether or not you purchased Additional Protection. If your Gig contains one of the items below, Senpex’s maximum liability and obligation to you for loss or theft of, or damage to, such items are as follows:
- Checks: Senpex’s liability for checks contained in a Gig is limited to the cost of stopping payment on and reissuing the check. Senpex will not pay for the face value of the check. Maximum reimbursement is $100 per Gig.
- Coins, currency, postage stamps, negotiable instruments, money orders. Senpex shall have NO liability for loss or theft of, or damage to, coins, currency, postage stamps, negotiable instruments, or money orders contained in a Gig. No Reimbursement.
- Phone Cards, Tickets, Gift Cards and Certificates, Coupons and Similar Matter: Senpex’s liability for phone cards, tickets, gift cards and certificates, coupons and similar matter contained in a Gig is limited to the cost of replacing the physical card, certificate, or printed matter.

- Animals: Senpex shall have NO liability for loss or theft of, or injury or death to, any live animals contained in a Gig. No Reimbursement.
- Perishable Items: Senpex liability for perishable items contained in a Gig is limited to those items properly packed to withstand transport for the length of the Gig requested by the Sender, and then only if the loss or damage is due to the Driver’s failure to accomplish the Gig within the time set forth in the request. Maximum reimbursement is $250 per Gig.
- Media: Senpex liability for media, such as documents, film, or photographs contained in a Gig, is limited to the replacement cost of the media on which the content is recorded. Senpex will not reimburse for any emotional damages related to the loss or any other direct or indirect damages related thereto. Maximum Reimbursement up to limits of Additional Protection chosen by Sender
- Heirlooms, Antiques, One-of-a-Kind: Senpex liability for heirlooms, antiques, or one-of-akind items contained in a Gig is limited to the actual monetary value of the item as shown by an invoice, sales receipt, appraisal, or with other proof of value of with a “like” item that can be verified. Senpex will not reimburse for “sentimental value” or any other direct or indirect damages related thereto. Maximum Reimbursement up to limits of Additional Protection chosen by Sender.
- Unopened, new-in-box consumer electronics: Senpex liability for unopened, new-in-box consumer electronics contained in a Gig is limited to cases where there is significant, visible and documented damage to the packaging of the item, which damage occurred while in the Driver’s possession. Maximum Reimbursement up to limits of Additional Protection chosen by Sender.
- Used Electronics: Senpex shall have NO liability for “used” electronics contained in a Gig. “Used” is defined as any such item that has been opened and removed from its original packaging, even if never actually used. No Reimbursement.
- Prohibited and Undisclosed Special Items: Senpex shall have NO liability for any Prohibited Item or any undisclosed Special Item contained in a Gig. No Reimbursement.
SENDERS SENDING ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS IN A GIG DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK. SENPEX WILL NOT REIMBURSE ANY SENDER FOR ANY GIG OR THE ITEMS IN THE GIG IN EXCESS OF SENPEX’S MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT LIMITS SET FORTH ABOVE, NO MATTER THE ITEMS ACTUAL VALUE AND NO MATTER WHETHER SENDER PURCHASED ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR THE GIG.
THE SENPEX PROTECTION PLAN DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY PROHIBITED ITEM OR ANY UNDISCLOSED SPECIAL ITEM AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SENPEX REIMBURSE ANYONE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO A PROHIBITED ITEM OR UNDISCLOSED SPECIAL ITEM WHETHER OR NOT ADDITIONAL PROTECTION HAS BEEN PURCHASED.
Additional Limitations in the Senpex Protection Plan Apply to Certain Senders
Senpex shall have no liability to a Sender for loss, damage or theft of items in a Sender’s Gig, if a Sender is a courier, delivery service, or other person that provides aggregation and/or fulfillment services for deliveries (a “Third-Party Logistics Provider”) and uses Delivery Services provided through the Senpex Platform to deliver items that the such ThirdParty Logistics Provider has been hired to deliver. Determination of whether a Sender is categorized as a Third Party Logistics provider is at Senpex’s sole discretion.
Filling a Claim
As a Sender, you must file a claim within three business days of the Gig being delivered. To file a claim:
- Collect proof of value documentation for the items that are part of the claim. Collect pictures of the items that are part of the claim.
- For a claim related to damaged items, obtain and keep the damaged items. If Senpex pays out on a claim, Senpex will need to collect the items. Fill out all fields on the claim form.
- Email the completed claim form, proof of value documentation, and all pictures of the damaged items to contact@senpex.com.
Most claims will be resolved within ten 10 business days after we receive your completed claim form and supporting documentation. Senpex will notify you of its decision and the amount to be paid to you. After you sign a simple release, Senpex will issue you a check, credit your PayPal account, or replace the item for you, all at Senpex’s option. That decision is final and cannot be appealed.
Proof of Value and Packaging
A Sender must prove the value of the item in the Gig subject to the claim, regardless of the value declared or the amount of additional protection purchased. Senpex will not pay on a claim without proof of the declared value. You must also provide documentation that verifies the replacement or repair cost of the item subject to the claim.
Additionally, a Sender must provide all packaging used in the packing of the items subject to the claim or the items themselves when submitting a claim. In cases of an unexplained loss or other mysterious disappearance of an item, the Sender must also provide a satisfactory police report with respect to the lost item or Gig when submitting a claim.
Repairing or Replacing an Item
When repairing or replacing items, Senpex can reimburse the Sender in the following ways:
- The lowest price paid for the item
- The replacement cost of the item at the time and place of loss or damage The cost of repairing the damaged item
You must provide a third-party repair quote or evaluation from a qualified repair facility. If the third-party decides that the items as not repairable, Senpex will pay the actual or replacement value up to the maximum liability under the Senpex Protection Plan.
Remember, you must submit all repair quotes as part of the claims process. While Senpex may pay the cost of repair, it is the Sender’s responsibility to have the item repaired.
Loss or Damage to Limited Part of Items
In the event of loss or damage to a set of items, Senpex is only liable to the value of the part of the set that is lost or damaged. Senpex is not liable for the value of the whole pair or set.
In the event of loss or damage to any part of an item (including any part of a machine) that consists of several parts, Senpex is only liable for the value of the part lost or damaged, not to exceed the declared value of the part lost or damaged. In no event will Senpex be liable for the value of the complete item.
Third-Party Claims Providers
Senpex may use a third-party provider to manage the claims process. In cases of damage to a Senpex Special Item, Senpex (or its provider) will analyze the integrity of packaging and associated materials and will determine adequate packaging in its sole discretion.
You acknowledge and agree that outside of the Senpex Protection Plan Senpex does not have control over, and has no responsibility for, any damage to the content(s) of a Gig and that a Driver is solely responsible to a Sender therefor
Other details regarding the Senpex Protection Plan and claims for loss and damage can be found in our FAQ.
Cancelations and No-Shows
Cancelation by Senders
If a Sender needs or wants to cancel a Gig, please cancel the request as soon as possible. This will notify the Driver and free them up to accept other Gigs from other Senders. To cancel a Gig, tap Cancel on the Gig Details screen within the Senpex App, or call Customer Support at 650-449-4193
What Happens When a Sender Cancels or is a No Show?
Senpex will charge a Sender $10 for each canceled Gig and/or each no-show. A Gig is deemed canceled if the Sender cancels the Gig once a Driver is already on his way to fulfill the Gig (“Cancelation“). A Sender will be considered a no-show if the Sender drop offs the Gig at the designated pick-up or drop-off location (1) more than 15 minutes after the agreed pick-up/drop-off time without calling, messaging or otherwise contacting the Driver through the Platform, or 2 more than 30 minutes after the agreed pick- up/drop-off time, whether or not Sender has contacted the Driver (“No-Show“). If either a Sender Cancelation or NoShow occurs, a $10 cancelation fee is automatically charged to the Sender’s account.
A Sender will not be charged a cancelation fee if they cancel a Gig due to a Driver’s NoShow, or Cancelation or if they cannot contact a Driver during the performance of their Gig.
Cancelation by Drivers
If a Driver needs or wants to cancel a Gig, please cancel the Gig as soon as possible. This will notify the Sender and allow another Driver to accept the Gig. To cancel a Gig, tap Cancel on the Gig Details screen within the Senpex App, or call Customer Support at +1 650-449-4193.
