Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 10, 2025

Welcome to Carvert! These Terms of Service (ToS) govern your use of our website (yourdomain.com) and services, whether you are a driver earning through our platform or a business advertising with us. By accessing or using Carvert, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Definitions

3. Services Overview

Carvert connects drivers with businesses for mobile advertising:

• Drivers display business bumper stickers on their vehicles for 30-day assignments and are paid for their participation.

  • Complete the Driver Sign-Up form, providing accurate email, address, and car registration.
  • Agree to display the assigned bumper sticker for the full 30-day assignment period.
  • Maintain the sticker in good condition and notify us of any damage.
  • Upload a photo of the bumper sticker on your vehicle, alongside the connected car registration (e.g., visible licence plate), to verify installation and begin the agreement. Failure to provide this photo within [3 days] of receiving the sticker voids the assignment.

  • Provide truthful information and update us if details change.
  • Comply with UK laws, including vehicle signage rules (e.g., DVLA standards).

5. Payment Terms

• For Drivers:
  • Payment will be agreed upon sign-up and paid within 30 days via BACS after completion and verification of the bumper sticker photo.
  • You must complete the full 30 days to receive payment; early removal or failure to upload the verification photo voids eligibility.
• For Businesses:
  • Campaign fees will be agreed upon sign-up and invoiced via email.
  • Payment is due within [7 days] via BACS; late payments incur a 2% monthly interest fee.
