These Auto Transport Brokerage Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) constitute a legally binding contract between US Royal Transport LLC, a licensed and bonded auto transport brokerage entity based in Garland, Texas, operating under USDOT Broker License #4250593 / MC# 1647571 (“US ROYAL TRANSPORT LLC”, “we”, “us”), and the undersigned customer (“Client”, “you”, or “your”).
1. Acknowledgment and Binding Acceptance:
By electronically or physically signing this Agreement or by placing a transport order with US Royal Transport LLC, Client acknowledges having thoroughly read, understood, and unconditionally accepted all terms set forth herein. Failure to fully consent to all provisions contained in this Agreement prohibits the Client from utilizing services provided by US Royal Transport LLC.
2. Brokerage Role and Scope of Services:
US Royal Transport LLC acts solely as a licensed auto transport broker. We facilitate the transport of vehicles through independently contracted and licensed motor Carriers (“Carrier(s)”). At no time does US Royal Transport LLC transport vehicles directly, nor do we take possession or custody of any vehicle. Our obligations are limited exclusively to identifying, appointing, and coordinating with an appropriate Carrier for the Client’s transport request.
3. Quotes, Pricing Adjustments, and Payment Terms:
All quotes issued by US Royal Transport LLC are considered estimated rates based on current national market conditions and are subject to adjustment. Factors including Carrier availability, fuel surcharges, traffic conditions, or specific route challenges may result in revised pricing. In such instances, US Royal Transport LLC shall notify Client in writing or electronically to obtain explicit consent prior to modifying the existing order. If Client refuses the adjustment, either party may cancel the order without incurring further obligation, and the deposit shall be refunded only if no Carrier has been assigned.
Payment Terms:
Client agrees not to engage or negotiate with other auto transport brokers or repost their vehicle on public load boards while US Royal Transport LLC is actively coordinating their transport. Violation of this provision, including posting the vehicle on other platforms or double-booking with another broker, shall result in the revocation of the quoted rate and forfeiture of the deposit. All cancellation or modification requests must be sent in writing via email to: info@usroyaltransport.com, and must be submitted prior to Carrier assignment. Once a Carrier has been confirmed, any Client-initiated cancellation shall result in a cancellation fee up to the full quoted transport cost, at the discretion of US Royal Transport LLC.
5. Pickup, Delivery & Transit Timeframes:
All pickup and delivery dates are strictly estimated timeframes, not guaranteed delivery dates. Neither US Royal Transport LLC nor the assigned Carrier shall be held liable for delays caused by weather, mechanical failure, road closures, Carrier scheduling conflicts, driver illness, or any other unforeseen circumstances.

7. Carrier Liability, Insurance Coverage, and Damage Claims:

All damage claims must be submitted in writing directly to the Carrier within 15 calendar days of delivery. Failure to note damages on the BOL or submit a timely claim may result in a complete denial of compensation. US Royal Transport LLC is not responsible for vehicle damage and does not process or resolve damage claims but will assist the Client in coordinating communication with the Carrier and supplying relevant documentation.
