Independent Driver Agreement

Last updated: June 2026

This Independent Driver Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you (“you,” “Driver,” or “independent service provider”) and Nexova, Inc. (“Nexova”). By creating a driver account or accepting any route through the Nexova platform (the “Platform”), you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Independent contractor status

You are an independent service provider operating your own business. You are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of Nexova or of any company that offers routes through the Platform. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship. As an independent contractor:

• You are not entitled to wages, overtime, minimum-wage protections, benefits, paid time off, unemployment insurance, or workers’ compensation from Nexova.
• Nexova does not withhold income taxes, Social Security, or Medicare from amounts paid to you.
• You are free to accept or decline any route, and to set your own schedule.
• You may provide similar services to others, including competitors of Nexova, at any time.
• You control the manner and means by which you perform delivery work, including your route choices and methods, subject only to lawful and safety requirements and the basic specifications of a route you accept.

2. How the Platform works

Nexova is a dispatch intermediary that facilitates the connection between companies and independent drivers. Companies make routes available through the Platform. Routes are offered to you; you may accept or decline them. Nexova does not assign work to you, does not require you to accept any route, and does not guarantee any minimum amount of work, routes, or earnings.

3. Eligibility and verification

Before you may accept routes, and on an ongoing basis, you must provide and maintain accurate information and documents, which may include:

• A valid driver’s license.
• Valid vehicle insurance meeting any applicable requirements.
• Vehicle information (type, make, model, year, license plate).
• Identity and tax information, including the last four digits of your Social Security Number and a Social Security document for verification and tax-reporting purposes.

You authorize Nexova to verify this information. Nexova may decline to verify, may suspend, or may remove a driver who does not meet eligibility requirements.

4. Your responsibilities

• Perform any route you accept lawfully, safely, and in a professional manner.
• Comply with all applicable laws, including traffic, vehicle, and licensing laws.
• Provide accurate proof of pickup and delivery as the Platform requests.
• Not transport prohibited or unlawful items.
• Maintain your vehicle in safe, legal operating condition.
• Treat company personnel and recipients respectfully.

5. Equipment, expenses, and insurance

You provide and are solely responsible for your own vehicle, fuel, equipment, mobile device, data plan, and all other tools and expenses needed to perform delivery work. Nexova does not reimburse your expenses. You are responsible for maintaining your own vehicle and liability insurance as required by law and as appropriate for your business.

6. Payouts

Amounts paid to you are payouts for services you provide as an independent contractor — they are not wages. For each route, the company sets a route amount. From that amount, Nexova’s platform fee is deducted, and applicable payment-processing fees (for example, transfer fees charged by the payment processor) are deducted at transfer. You receive the remainder. Payout details and any pay-period schedule are shown in the Platform. Payouts are processed through our third-party payment processor, and you must complete that processor’s onboarding to receive payouts; your use of payout features is also subject to the processor’s terms.

7. Taxes

You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes on amounts you earn, including self-employment tax. Nexova or its payment processor may issue tax forms (such as Form 1099-NEC or 1099-K) where required by law. You are responsible for your own business licenses and permits.

8. No benefits and no exclusivity

You are not eligible for any employee benefits from Nexova. This Agreement is non-exclusive. You may work with other platforms, companies, or clients, including competitors, and you may decline any route without penalty to your standing, except as needed to maintain accurate eligibility and safety records.

9. Confidentiality and driver privacy

You may receive information about companies and delivery recipients (such as addresses and contact details) solely to perform a route. You agree to use that information only for that purpose, to keep it confidential, and not to retain, share, or use it for any other purpose. Nexova does not display your real name to companies; companies see you under an anonymized identifier or alias.

10. Term and termination

This Agreement remains in effect while you use the Platform. Either you or Nexova may end this relationship at any time, with or without cause. Nexova may suspend or remove your access if you violate this Agreement, fail to maintain eligibility, or engage in unsafe or unlawful conduct. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 1, 5, 7, 9, and 11 through 13.

11. Disclaimers and liability

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEXOVA DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY VOLUME OF ROUTES OR EARNINGS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXOVA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST EARNINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. NEXOVA’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PAYOUTS NEXOVA FACILITATED TO YOU IN THE [THREE (3)] MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Nexova and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your delivery work, your vehicle, your conduct, or your violation of this Agreement or applicable law.

13. Dispute resolution and governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of [Florida], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. [Insert arbitration agreement and class-action waiver here if desired, or designate exclusive venue.] [Governing law, venue, and any arbitration terms must be set by an employment attorney; arbitration and class-waiver clauses for independent drivers are heavily scrutinized.]

14. Changes

Nexova may update this Agreement from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Platform after an update means you accept the revised Agreement.
