1. General Description
Transport411.com is a Web site offering an
electronic directory of registered road Carriers. This service is
available to Users in one of two forms, Transport411 Express
or Transport411 Pro. (We will thereafter refer to
either version as “Transport411” when referring to the
online service.) Users may perform, among other things, searches
based on various criteria and view the resulting transport suppliers
that satisfy these criteria. The information displayed contains
the Carrier’s coordinates and, as appropriate, certain attributes
such as specialty, services, customs certifications, etc. The Web
site is managed and administered by Transport411, a division
of AlioSoft, Inc. Use of this Web site is governed by the terms
and conditions contained in this agreement.

Web site or any portion thereof is error- or bug-free, or that the
Web site, or use thereof, will be un-interruptible. Transport411
assumes no liability of any kind for any service interruption, functional
impairment, or erroneous results in the operation of the Web site.
2. Transport411 does not guarantee, represent,
or warrant:
(A) The suitability, legality accuracy and/or relevancy
of the information provided by users or carriers.
(B) That carriers are capable of performing or will perform their
duties and/or the services they offer:
(C) The amount of revenue, profit or savings that users and carriers
can derive from using the Web site;

In no event shall Transport411 become liable
for any direct or indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential
damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, the use of

or any information and services available on or through the Web
site, including, without limitation, loss of revenue or anticipated
profits or loss of business or lost sales, whether based on contract,
tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise. This
limitation on liability applies even if Transport411 has
been advised of the possibility of any of these types of damages.
IV - REGISTRATION OF USERS
1. Registration on Transport411’s Web
