Fair play policy for freight forwarders

In order to maintain a healthy and fair advert platform, CA will try to limit the phenomenon of massive re-publish of load adverts on other competing platforms, when coupled with a poor load publishing activity on Cargopedia.

In this regard, CA imposes to freight forwarders and intermediary companies a conditioning of the number of load adverts accessed in a month, depending on the number of loads published on Cargopedia during the same period. Specifically, for every 50 different loads accessed in a calendar month, at least one load advert must be published, otherwise the additional view of other load adverts will be restricted.

Last but not least, CA reserves the right to - temporarily or permanently - suspend the account of companies that massively repost (copy) load adverts on competing platforms, all the more so if the phenomenon is doubled by a poor load publishing activity on Cargopedia.

6.2. CARGOPEDIA OBLIGATIONS

CA undertakes to maintain the Cargopedia platform online and functional, except unforeseen disruptions, due to internet provider or equipment failure or other events of force majeure, like insolvency or bankruptcy.
