This Driver Fleet Agreement (this “Agreement”) governs your enrollment and participation as a driver in the Stic driver fleet (the “Fleet”) operated by Stic Solutions, Inc.

The Terms of Service govern your use of the Stic Services generally. This Agreement governs your participation in the Fleet specifically. To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service with respect to Fleet participation, this Agreement controls.

By enrolling in the Fleet, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and the incorporated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not enroll in the Fleet or participate in any campaign.
If you are enrolling on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to this Agreement, and in that case “you” and “your” refer to that entity as well. This Agreement is not available to persons under 18 years of age.

4CAMPAIGN PARTICIPATION
4.1Campaign Opportunities
From time to time, Stic may make available opportunities for Fleet drivers to participate in advertising campaigns for third-party advertisers, brands, agencies, or Stic’s own promotional efforts. Campaigns may include vehicle stickers, decals, or wraps; GPS-enabled or app-connected tools; location-based or mileage-based participation requirements; impression-based, route-based, duration-based, or other metrics; brand-specific display instructions; and start/end dates, territories, minimum participation thresholds, or other requirements.

4.3No Guarantee of Opportunities or Earnings
STIC DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY DRIVER WILL RECEIVE ANY CAMPAIGN OFFER, BE SELECTED FOR ANY CAMPAIGN, EARN ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT, DRIVE ANY PARTICULAR NUMBER OF MILES, OR RECEIVE ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF CAMPAIGN OPPORTUNITIES. Any earnings examples, mileage ranges, rates, or payment timing statements are illustrative only unless expressly stated otherwise in a specific campaign agreement or in-app offer.
4.4Campaign Terms Control
Specific campaign details, including compensation structure, payout timing, requirements, duration, approved geography, and Equipment instructions, may be provided through the app, dashboard, email, SMS, or other campaign materials. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and a specific written campaign term presented to you by Stic, the specific campaign term will control for that campaign only.
5EQUIPMENT
5.1Title and Ownership
All stickers, decals, wraps, QR codes, GPS-enabled tools, and other advertising materials or related devices that we provide or authorize (collectively, “Equipment”) remain the property of Stic and/or its licensors, advertisers, or partners unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. You receive only a limited, revocable right to use the Equipment in accordance with this Agreement and campaign instructions.
5.2Risk of Loss and Care
From the time Equipment is delivered to you until it is returned or disposed of as instructed, you are responsible for exercising reasonable care in using, storing, protecting, and maintaining it. You agree not to:

- remove or alter QR codes, branding, or identifiers;
- use Equipment for any unauthorized purpose; or
- allow any third party to use or control the Equipment without our written consent.

You must install and remove Equipment only as instructed. Improper placement, partial display, obstruction, or failure to remove Equipment when required may result in reduced or forfeited compensation; campaign disqualification; charges for replacement, removal, or remediation to the extent permitted by law; and/or suspension or termination from the Fleet.
5.4Damage, Loss, and Charges
If Equipment is lost, materially damaged beyond ordinary wear and tear, or not returned when required, we may charge you reasonable replacement, cleaning, or recovery costs or offset such amounts against compensation to the extent permitted by law and any applicable campaign terms.

7INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP
7.1Independent Contractor Status
You acknowledge and agree that you are acting solely as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, joint venturer, franchisee, partner, or representative of Stic. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create, and nothing shall be construed as creating, any employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and Stic.
7.2No Authority to Bind Stic
You have no authority to bind Stic, enter into agreements on Stic’s behalf, make representations on Stic’s behalf, or incur obligations in Stic’s name.
7.3Control of Work
Except for campaign requirements, legal compliance requirements, and platform rules, you retain sole discretion over whether, when, where, and how you drive and whether to accept campaign opportunities. Stic does not control the manner or means by which you operate your vehicle, except as necessary to administer campaigns, protect brand integrity, maintain safety, enforce platform standards, and comply with law.

You are not entitled to any wages, overtime, meal/rest break compensation, reimbursement rights applicable only to employees, or any employee benefits from Stic unless otherwise required by non-waivable law.

This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship. Subject to campaign rules and applicable law, you may engage in other work or activities, provided they do not conflict with your obligations under this Agreement.
7.6Intent of the Parties
The parties expressly intend an independent contractor relationship to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any governmental authority determines otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as a waiver of any lawful defense by Stic.
8COMPENSATION AND PAYMENTS
8.1Compensation Terms
If you are eligible for compensation, the amount, method, and timing of compensation will be determined by this Agreement, the applicable campaign terms, app or dashboard information, payout thresholds, verification requirements, and fraud controls, and your compliance with this Agreement and campaign requirements. Compensation may be based on mileage, time, location, display compliance, campaign completion, validation rules, or other metrics identified by Stic.
8.2No Guaranteed Earnings
Any examples of rates, earnings, payouts, impressions, or performance are estimates or illustrative statements only unless expressly identified as guaranteed in a written campaign term. Actual compensation may vary.

Stic may withhold, adjust, delay, deny, reverse, or recoup compensation to the extent reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud or misuse; verify campaign compliance; address duplicate, erroneous, or invalid mileage/activity data; account for chargebacks, reversals, or nonpayment by an advertiser where permitted by applicable campaign terms; comply with law; enforce this Agreement; or protect the integrity of the Services.

Payments and payouts are processed by third-party payment processor(s), currently Stripe. To receive payouts, you must provide accurate and complete information required by Stripe and/or us, which may include your legal name, bank account information, debit card information, taxpayer information, and any verification information required by law or by Stripe. You represent and warrant that the payout account information you provide is accurate, that you are authorized to use the designated payout account, and that you will promptly update any changes. Stic is not responsible for payment failures or delays caused by inaccurate payout details, banking issues, failed verification, Stripe requirements, or suspected fraud.

12DISCLAIMERS; RELEASE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNITY
12.1Service Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. STIC DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that any campaign will be available or continue for any period; that any data, mileage, analytics, or geolocation will be accurate or complete; that any earnings, impressions, or advertiser demand will meet expectations; or that the Services will be compatible with every device, vehicle, or operating environment.
12.2Assumption of Risk; Release
You understand and agree that driving and vehicle operation involve inherent risks, including risks of accident, injury, property damage, theft, and loss. You assume all risks arising from or related to your driving activities, your vehicle, your use of Equipment, and your participation in campaigns, except to the extent caused by Stic’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or other liability that cannot be waived under applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Stic and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, advertisers, and partners from claims arising out of or related to your vehicle operation; your use of Equipment; your campaign participation; acts or omissions of advertisers or other third parties; and your use of or inability to use the Services, except to the extent prohibited by law.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
12.3Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER STIC NOR ITS AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, ADVERTISERS, OR PARTNERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, CAMPAIGNS, OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STIC’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY STIC TO YOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12.4Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stic and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, advertisers, and partners from and against any claims, demands, disputes, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services or Equipment; your driving activities or vehicle operation; your violation of this Agreement or applicable law; your fraud, negligence, willful misconduct, or misrepresentation; any dispute between you and a third party, including vehicle owners, passengers, insurers, lienholders, or governmental authorities; any claim that you were improperly classified as an independent contractor, except to the extent caused solely by Stic’s non-waivable legal obligations; or taxes, withholding, benefits, or employment-related obligations asserted in connection with compensation paid to you.
13DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
13.1Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Stic agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, Equipment, your account, campaign participation, compensation, classification, privacy, data practices, advertising, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except for claims that qualify for small claims court; claims seeking to enforce or protect intellectual property rights or confidential information; and claims that cannot lawfully be required to be arbitrated. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).
13.2Informal Dispute Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, the party seeking relief must send a written notice of dispute describing the claim and requested relief to legal@drivestic.com or 3415 S. Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90034. The parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally for at least 30 days before filing arbitration, unless doing so would be futile or a claim requires immediate equitable relief.
13.3Arbitration Rules, Location, and Authority
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules then in effect, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules as applicable, except as modified by this Agreement. AAA rules and filing information are available at www.adr.org. If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in the county where you reside, or another mutually agreed location, unless the arbitrator determines a remote hearing is appropriate. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court may determine the enforceability of the class action waiver in Section 13.4 and any issues expressly reserved for a court under applicable law.
13.4Class Action Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND STIC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding except to the extent required by non-waivable law.
13.5Jury Trial Waiver and Fees
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Stic waive any constitutional or statutory right to sue in court and have a trial before a judge or jury for Disputes covered by this Section 13. Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable AAA rules and law. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs except where the arbitrator awards fees or costs under applicable law or this Agreement.
13.6Opt-Out Right
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@drivestic.com within 30 days after first accepting this Agreement. Your notice must include your full name, email address, phone number, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration will not affect any other part of this Agreement.
13.7Survival
This Section 13 survives termination of this Agreement and your relationship with Stic.
14GOVERNING LAW
Except to the extent preempted by the FAA or otherwise required by applicable law, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles. If a Dispute is not subject to arbitration, the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to such jurisdiction and venue.
