Terms of Service

Effective date: July 13, 2026 · Last updated: July 14, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms are a legal agreement between Murych Consulting LLC ("we", "us"), 2100 Main St, Unit 114, Melrose Park, IL 60160, United States, and the entity that engages us ("you"). You accept them by engaging our services, authorizing our application to connect to your accounts, or using any reporting we deliver. A signed services agreement, if one exists, controls wherever it conflicts with these Terms.

2. The services

We connect to third-party platforms you already use (telematics and ELD providers, fuel card providers, factoring companies, tolling authorities and similar), retrieve your operational records on a read-only basis, and consolidate them into back-office analytics and reporting for you. Scope, deliverables, timeline and fees are defined in a separate written agreement.

3. Your accounts, your data

You authorize our access from your own accounts, using your own credentials. You confirm you have the right to grant it, and that doing so does not breach your agreements with the platforms concerned. You may revoke our access at any time, from the platform itself, without notice to us; access stops immediately when you do.

Your data remains yours, and we claim no ownership over it. You are the employer of your drivers and staff and you decide what happens to their data: you are the business (or controller) and we are your service provider (or processor). We act only on your instructions and only for the purpose in section 2. Giving your drivers whatever notice or choice the law requires is your responsibility, as is any action you take about any person.

4. How we handle your data

Our Privacy Policy governs this and forms part of these Terms. As a matter of contract, we:

• access connected platforms read-only, with the minimum permissions your reporting requires, and never create, modify or delete a record in them;
• never request or retrieve biometric data: facial-recognition, face-match and driver-photo permissions are excluded from every integration;
• do not sell, rent or license your data, or share it with anyone for their own purposes;
• consolidate your data across the platforms you connect, which is the service, but never mix in data from anyone else: not other customers of ours, not purchased or public datasets, not a driver's record from a previous employer;
• do not pool your data into any product or dataset offered to others;
• do not use it for advertising or to train machine learning models;
• make available to you, on reasonable request, the data we hold on your behalf, so that you can respond to your own drivers and staff about their data; you decide and give the response, as their employer and the business responsible for that data;
• delete it when the engagement ends, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Where a data processing agreement or service provider addendum is required, it is signed separately and controls over this section.

5. Where our reporting may go

Our reporting is for you. It draws on records from platforms whose developer terms restrict onward distribution, so you will not provide our reporting, or data derived from it, to a third party for that party's own purposes, for example an insurer, a factoring company, a broker, or a prospective employer of one of your drivers. Neither of us can consent around this.

You may, of course:

• share our reporting with your own professional advisors (accountant, auditor, tax advisor, lawyer, or a lender reviewing your business), where they act on your behalf, are bound by confidentiality, and do not use it for their own purposes;
• use it inside your own company, with your owners, officers and authorized staff;
• disclose it where the law requires you to.

What matters here is the purpose, not the number of people involved. Your advisors act for you, so the reporting is still serving your business. What these Terms do not allow is handing it to someone who will use it to make their own decisions, whether about you or about one of your drivers.

Separately, as a matter of our intellectual property, you may not resell, sublicense or redistribute our reporting as a product of your own without our written consent. That restriction concerns commercializing our work, and it does not create an exception to the paragraphs above.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the services in violation of any law, to grant us access to accounts or data you are not authorized to share, or to attempt unauthorized access to our systems.

7. Fees and intellectual property

Fees and payment terms are set out in the applicable written agreement; unless it says otherwise, invoices are due on receipt and exclude taxes, which are your responsibility.

We retain ownership of our software, tooling, methods and know-how, including anything developed before or independently of your engagement. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the deliverables for your own internal business purposes. You retain ownership of your data and of any materials you provide to us.

8. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's confidential information in confidence and use it only to perform under these Terms. This obligation continues for three (3) years after the engagement ends. It continues indefinitely for anything that qualifies as a trade secret, and, for your operational data, for as long as we hold it. It does not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, or that must be disclosed by law.

9. Third-party platforms and disclaimers

Our services depend on platforms we neither own nor control, which may change their APIs, permissions, pricing or availability, or suspend access, at any time. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, downtime, data accuracy or policy changes of any third-party platform, and no such change is a breach of these Terms by us. We do not warrant that the underlying data is complete, accurate or current.

Our reporting is decision support. It does not make decisions for you. We make no automated decisions about any person. A report describes how your operations ran over a period; it is one input among others for you and your authorized staff, and every decision, together with the responsibility for it, is yours. It is not designed or intended for screening candidates for hire or employees for promotion.

It is not legal, tax, accounting or regulatory-compliance advice. You remain responsible for your own compliance obligations, including hours-of-service, IFTA filings and inspections. Except as expressly stated in a signed agreement, the services are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill or data. Our total aggregate liability, across all claims, will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) five thousand US dollars ($5,000).

11. Your indemnity

You will defend us against, and cover, any third-party claim, including the reasonable legal costs, damages and settlements that come with it, arising from:

• your granting us access you were not entitled to grant, or that breached your agreement with the platform concerned;
• your failure to give your drivers or staff any notice, disclosure or choice the law requires of you as their employer;
• any decision you take about any person, or any other use you make of our reporting, including any use section 5 does not allow.

This does not cover a claim caused by our own breach of these Terms. We will tell you promptly about any claim, let you control the defense, and cooperate with you at your expense.

12. Term and termination

Either party may terminate as provided in the applicable written agreement, or, if none applies, on thirty (30) days' written notice, or immediately if the other materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within fifteen (15) days of written notice. On termination our access ends, we handle your data as described under "Retention and deletion" in the Privacy Policy, and fees accrued before termination remain payable.

You can take your data with you. Before we delete it, and on reasonable request during the engagement, you may ask us for a copy of the data we hold on your behalf, together with the reporting we produced for you, in a commonly used machine-readable format. This is your own company's data going back to your own company. It is not a disclosure to a third party, and nothing in section 5 restricts it.

13. Governing law and changes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. We may update these Terms; if a change materially affects your rights, we will notify you directly and update the effective date above.
