HUB TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Version 1.0 • Effective: 1 September 2026

These Terms govern independent Hub Operators accessing the TamTrak Platform. By accessing the Platform and providing Hub services, you agree to these Terms. In the event of conflict with your Hub Operator Agreement, the Agreement prevails.

Article 1 — TamTrak’s Role as a Platform

TamTrak operates exclusively as a technology platform and logistics marketplace. It does not own, operate, employ, or control any Carriers, Hubs, or Drop-off Points. All Hub Operators are independent partners with their own facilities and staff. TamTrak sets minimum operational standards, provides Hub Management System (HMS) access, processes payments, and offers tracking and support.

Article 3 — Independent Status of Hub Operator

The Hub Operator is an independent partner, not a TamTrak employee, agent, or subsidiary. The Operator is responsible for employing and managing their own staff; compliance with all local laws, health and safety regulations, and facility standards; the security, maintenance, and operations of the Hub; and maintaining appropriate confidentiality regarding TamTrak Shipments and customer data.

Article 4 — HMS Access and Platform Integrity

The Hub Operator must maintain secure HMS access at all times, including changing passwords every 90 days and enabling two-factor authentication. All entries must be accurate and made in real time; historical records may not be altered without TamTrak authorisation. HMS errors or suspected security breaches must be reported within 4 hours. Deliberate falsification of HMS data constitutes a material breach and may constitute a criminal offence.

Article 5 — Hub Minimum Operating Standards

5.1  Operating Hours

The Hub must operate in accordance with the hours set out in Schedule A of the Hub Operator Agreement. TamTrak must be notified at least 48 hours in advance of planned closures and immediately in the case of emergency closures.

5.2  Facility Requirements

The Hub facility must be clean, dry, secure, and well-lit at all times. The facility must include: functional sorting surfaces; weighing equipment accurate to 0.1 kg; CCTV coverage of all Shipment areas with a minimum retention period of 30 days; restricted access to Shipment storage areas; and temperature maintained between 5°C and 35°C unless otherwise specified in the Hub Operator Agreement.

⚑  CCTV footage constitutes personal data under GDPR. Hub Operators are responsible for their own GDPR compliance in respect of CCTV, including displaying appropriate signage and maintaining a lawful basis for retention. The 30-day retention requirement is a minimum operational standard; Hub Operators must ensure this is compatible with their local GDPR obligations.

TamTrak branding and safety notices must be displayed as directed.

5.3  Staffing

Adequate trained staff must be on site at all times during operating hours. All staff handling Shipments must complete Hub Onboarding Training and pass a criminal record check. Changes to the Hub Manager must be notified to TamTrak within 24 hours.

The Hub Operator must maintain a written security policy, comply with local fire safety regulations, report any breach, theft, or unauthorised access within 1 hour, and maintain a business continuity plan.

Article 6 — Inbound Custody Procedures

On receipt of Shipments from Drop-off Points, Carriers must be verified by identity and manifest. Each Shipment QR code must be scanned in HMS within 2 hours of arrival. Damaged or unmanifested Shipments must be flagged immediately, photographed, and logged in HMS pending TamTrak instructions. Walk-in Sender Shipments must be weighed, measured, and confirmed in HMS with a receipt provided to the Sender.

Article 7 — Sorting and Storage

Shipments must be sorted by destination corridor within 4 hours of receipt. Storage must prevent damage, maintain separation by destination, permit auditing, and not obstruct emergency exits. Dwell Time targets are: maximum 48 hours for standard Shipments; Shipments exceeding 72 hours must be flagged; Shipments exceeding 120 hours must be reported to TamTrak immediately. Lost or unidentified Shipments must be quarantined, photographed, and reported to TamTrak pending instructions.

Article 8 — Outbound Custody Procedures

Shipments must be consolidated per the Dispatch Schedule, verified against the manifest, and QR scanned to transfer custody to the Carrier. Carrier identity must be verified and acceptance obtained before release. Shipments must not be released to unauthorised Carriers. Cross-border Shipments require completed customs documentation, copies of which must be retained for 5 years.
