Truck You will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third-Party Delivery Provider, as such Third-Party Delivery Provider’s limited payment collection agent. Transfer of payment will happen immediately after completion of delivery. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third-Party Delivery Provider.
Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Truck You.
You may elect to cancel your request for services or goods from a Third-Party Delivery Provider at any time prior to such Third-Party Delivery Provider’s arrival for pickup, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.
Cancellation Fee – In the event of cancellation prior to 24 hours before scheduled service time, you will retain 90% of the final agreed upon amount between you and the Third-Party Delivery Provider. If canceled within 24 hours of the scheduled service time, you will retain 50% of the final agreed upon amount between you and the Third-Party Delivery Provider Cancellation Fee Disputes – You may request to dispute any fees for cancellation by submitting a written request if the reason for cancellation meets the minimum criteria set forth by Truck You.
