Brokerage Agreement for MaxToGo
Between MaxToGo AB, Org.nr: 559394-8085 and the 'Performer'
Last updated: 2025-01-02
Purpose and Scope
MaxToGo offers a digital platform where companies in transport, logistics, moving, cleaning, and other service industries can collaborate by mediating assignments and sharing resources. MaxToGo acts as an intermediary between companies offering and seeking services, without owning or selling the assignments themselves. A service fee in the form of a percentage of the assignment value is charged for each assignment mediated via the platform.
Brokerage Fee
The broker is entitled to a brokerage fee per assignment, which may be a percentage fee based on the value of the assignment or a fixed fee, depending on the nature of the assignment or as agreed with the Client. The fee is to be paid directly to the Broker as soon as an assignment is published or purchased by an assignee. Certain exceptions may apply for larger assignments, empty runs, or shared runs.
Contact Information and Communication Rules
Contact information between parties will be displayed only after an assignment has been purchased. Before payment, it is prohibited to share contact information in the comment field or chat. MaxToGo checks all assignments to ensure these rules are followed before publication. If any party violates this clause by sharing contact information in advance, they may be immediately deregistered from the platform and fined.
Responsibility Distribution
- Broker's Responsibility MaxToGo provides a platform for collaboration and acts solely as an intermediary between clients and partners. MaxToGo is not responsible for executing or completing assignments and has no control over the quality, safety, or execution of the assignment.
- Client's Responsibility The client is responsible for providing accurate and complete information about each assignment. Any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information is the responsibility of the client.
- Forwarding of Assignments MaxToGo is responsible for forwarding assignments by publishing them on the platform, where other partners can see and purchase the assignments. However, MaxToGo does not guarantee that all assignments will be sold or matched.
- Partner's Responsibility Each partner is responsible for having the necessary permits, such as traffic permits and insurance, and for handling any additional costs that may arise during the execution of the assignment.
- Limited Liability MaxToGo cannot be held responsible for delays, failures, or any damages that occur during an assignment. It is the responsibility of the client and the partner to secure and execute the assignment in a professional and legal manner.
- Dispute Resolution Any disputes between the client and the partner that arise in connection with the assignment should be resolved between the parties themselves. MaxToGo can assist with contact information but has no obligation to mediate or resolve disputes.
- Exceptions for Large Assignments and Empty Runs Brokerage fees and payment terms may vary for large assignments, empty runs, or shared runs. Special conditions may apply, and these must be approved by all parties before the assignment begins.
- Confidentiality and Information Security MaxToGo is committed to handling users' information confidentially and in accordance with applicable legislation. Partners and clients are also expected to comply with GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations.
- Validity of the Agreement This agreement is valid from the date of signing and until further notice, unless a specific period has been specified in the agreement. The agreement can be terminated with immediate effect in the event of serious breaches of the terms.
Quality Evaluation after Assignment
To promote high quality and reliability in all assignments, companies will be able to evaluate each other after each completed assignment. Through this system, it is ensured that both clients and partners strive to maintain the highest possible standard in execution and professionalism. These evaluations also contribute to a safer and more transparent working environment for all users on the MaxToGo platform.
Delivery
The assignee undertakes to deliver the service described in this document at each given time in accordance with the agreement. The agreement applies only between the Client and the Assignee. Agreements or arrangements between the Client and the Assignee are prohibited and entail a penalty as described below.
Delivery Plans/Execution of Service
The assignee must follow the specified assignments and is responsible for ensuring that the service is performed according to the agreed quality and within the agreed timeframe. The assignee must use their own vehicles, materials, and personnel. In the event of failure to meet these requirements, the agreement may be terminated immediately.
Binding Orders
All orders are binding according to the agreement. The assignee must immediately inform the Client if they cannot perform the service. Orders must always be made through the MaxToGo platform, and violations of this clause entail a penalty.
Client's Delay and Compensation
The client has the right to cancel assignments in the event of force majeure or similar circumstances. If the assignment is canceled by the client close to execution, compensation shall be paid to the assignee according to the following compensation model:
Cancellation Rules and Compensation
- Assignee's Cancellation The assignee may not cancel an assignment within 48 hours before the planned execution. If cancellation occurs earlier than 48 hours before the start of the assignment, the assignee is obliged to pay a cancellation fee corresponding to 25% of the total assignment value to the broker.
- Client's Cancellation If the client cancels an assignment less than 24 hours before the scheduled execution, compensation of 10% of the total assignment value is paid to the assignee.
Payment Terms and Payment Mediation
- The assignee has the right to invoice the Client after 2 days with 30 days payment terms. Payment must be made no later than 20 days after receiving the invoice, which must be specified according to the assignment.
- MaxToGo will eventually act as a payment mediator to facilitate transactions between clients and assignees. In this system, the client pays the value of the assignment to MaxToGo at the start of the assignment. After the assignment has been completed and approved by the client, MaxToGo transfers the payment to the assignee.
Liability Period and Remediation
The assignee is responsible for the service for two (2) years from delivery to the Client according to the Consumer Services Act. If remedial measures are needed, these must be carried out within 24 hours to receive full compensation.
Payment Delay and Late Payment Interest
In the event of non-payment, the assignee is entitled to statutory late payment interest.
Fixed Fee:
A fixed compensation based on the type of service to be performed, regardless of whether the assignment is completed or canceled.
Percentage Compensation:
A percentage of the total agreed amount for the assignment, where the percentage is determined in advance and based on how close the cancellation occurs in relation to the agreed service.
Cost Compensation:
Compensation for documented costs incurred by the assignee up to the cancellation, which may include labor costs, material costs, or other direct expenses related to the assignment.
Quality Control
MaxToGo reserves the right to perform quality checks on services performed by the assignee. The assignee is obliged to cooperate with MaxToGo in these checks and take necessary measures to address any deficiencies.

Extra Costs and Additions

This is especially true if the assignee discovers that the information provided by the broker or the client does not match reality, for example in terms of volume (cubic meters), weight, number of items, or other conditions for the transport. Additional costs must be specified and explained to the client before the additional work begins.
