Independent Contractor Relationship

You acknowledge and agree that you are an independent contractor and not an employee, partner, or joint venturer of Marial Lonestar Group.

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, and you are solely responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and compliance obligations.

  • Marial Lonestar Group shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Our total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the three (3) months preceding the claim
  • We are not liable for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
  • We are not responsible for broker or shipper defaults, payment disputes, or cargo claims

We provide dispatching services in good faith but do not guarantee specific revenue, load volume, or business outcomes. You assume all risks associated with operating your trucking business.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Marial Lonestar Group, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney fees) arising from: (a) your use of our services; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or regulation; (d) any cargo claims, accidents, or incidents involving your operations; or (e) any third-party claims related to your business activities.

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is the property of Marial Lonestar Group and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our written permission.

Either party may terminate this agreement:

  • At any time with written notice (email acceptable)
  • Immediately if the other party breaches these Terms
  • Immediately if required by law or regulatory action

Upon termination, you remain responsible for any outstanding fees and obligations incurred prior to termination. Sections regarding limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law shall survive termination.

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Travis County, Texas, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorney fees unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas.
