 1. Agreement to Terms

 This Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement“) is a legally binding contract between the business, organization, or institutional entity (“Chartering Client,” “you“) and   The Hedgestone Transportation System, operating as Transotek (“Platform Provider,” “we,” “us,” “our“). This Agreement governs your access to and use of the Transotek   Taxi Chartering Registry (the “Registry“), a platform for scheduling and managing pre-arranged transportation services.

 By registering an account, accessing, or using the Registry, you represent that you have the authority to bind the Chartering Client to this Agreement. If you do not agree to   these terms, you may not use the Registry.
