Terms of service

Last updated [Date]

These terms are an agreement between [Your LLC name] ("DotReady", "we") and the company or person that uses DotReady ("you"). By creating an account you agree to them.

What DotReady is

DotReady is software that helps motor carriers organize and track driver qualification files, Clearinghouse query deadlines, vehicle maintenance records and audit readiness.

DotReady is not legal advice and is not affiliated with FMCSA or the US Department of Transportation.

Audit readiness results, simulated findings and suggestions are an internal assessment based on the information you provide. They are not a legal opinion and do not guarantee the outcome of any audit, inspection or enforcement action. You remain responsible for complying with federal and state rules.

Your responsibilities

  • You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the records you enter or upload.
  • DotReady reads documents automatically and can make mistakes. Nothing is marked valid until you confirm it, and you are responsible for checking what you confirm.
  • DotReady does not run Clearinghouse queries. You must run them on FMCSA's Clearinghouse and record the results.
  • You must have the consents the law requires before you add a driver's personal information, run a query or request a report about them.
  • You are responsible for your users' activity and for keeping their log-in details secure.

Electronic signatures and records

By using DotReady, you and your drivers agree to sign and keep records electronically, including DVIRs. Each electronic signature is tied to the signer's account and a timestamp. You agree that these records can be used in place of paper records to the extent the law allows.

Trial, billing and cancellation

  • New accounts get a 30-day free trial. No card is needed to start.
  • Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in US dollars in advance. Prices are on the pricing page.
  • Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and stay active until the end of the paid month.
  • Annual plans include a 60-day money-back guarantee on the first payment. After that, annual fees are not refundable.
  • We will give at least 30 days notice before changing your price.
  • Taxes may be added where the law requires.

Your data

You own your data. You give us permission to store and process it to provide DotReady. You can export it at any time. If you close your account, we delete it as described in the privacy policy.

Acceptable use

Do not use DotReady to break the law, to store records you have no right to hold, to attempt to access another customer's data, or to interfere with the service.

Service availability

We work to keep DotReady available but do not promise uninterrupted service. Do not rely on DotReady as your only record of a deadline. We publish service status at [status page URL].

Warranties and liability

DotReady is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to DotReady is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including fines, penalties, lost revenue or the outcome of any audit. [Attorney to confirm.]

Ending the agreement

You can stop using DotReady at any time. We may suspend or end your account for non-payment or a serious breach of these terms, with notice where we can give it. If we end the service entirely, we will give you at least 90 days notice and a full export.

Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of [State]. Questions go tosupport@dotready.io or [Your LLC name], [US mailing address].
