Last Updated: March 20, 2026
These Driver Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Local Motion mobile application, websites, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.
1. Definitions
- Business: An advertiser or organization that uses the Platform to create Campaigns and fund mileage-based advertising.
- Campaign: A business-defined program with parameters including target ZIP codes/geographies, dates, quotas, eligible vehicle types, ad material rules, verification requirements, and rates.
- Target Zone: A Business-designated area in which miles are compensated at a premium Target Zone Rate.
- Base Radius: A circular area centered on the Driver’s primary residential address on file, as defined by the Platform and/or the Campaign.
- Eligible Miles: Miles recorded in accordance with Section 6 that qualify for compensation.
- Base Rate: The standard per-mile rate applicable to Eligible Miles within the Base Radius but outside any Target Zone.
- Target Zone Rate: The premium per-mile rate applicable to Eligible Miles within a Target Zone.
- Location Logs: GPS coordinates, timestamps, and derived mileage/path data captured by the Platform for tracking, eligibility, fraud detection, and analytics.
- Payout: Money paid to a Driver for Eligible Miles via third-party processors.
- Ad Materials: Decals, magnets, reflective vinyl, anti-tamper stickers, instructions, and any other materials required by a Campaign.
- Verification Upload: A photo/video submission required to confirm Ad Materials are installed and compliant (including periodic/weekly uploads if required).
2. Scope of Services; Marketplace Nature
Local Motion provides a technology Platform that enables Businesses to define Campaigns and Drivers to enroll and log mileage. Local Motion is a marketplace facilitator and technology platform provider only; not a transportation company, delivery company, advertising agency, carrier, advertiser, insurer, escrow provider, employer, or tax advisor. No guarantee is made as to Campaign availability, miles, Payouts, or features.
No Guaranteed Access or Earnings. We do not guarantee Campaign assignment, continued participation in any Campaign, any minimum miles, or any minimum earnings.
Independent Contractor; No Control. You are an independent contractor (not an employee, agent, or representative) and control when, where, and how you drive. You are not required to accept any Campaign, meet any minimum driving hours, or take any specific routes. Local Motion does not direct or control your driving and does not provide transportation or delivery services.
Not a Party to Driver–Business Relationship. Businesses control their Campaigns and are responsible for Campaign terms (including rates, acceptance/decline decisions, and Campaign requirements). Except as explicitly stated in these Terms, Local Motion is not a party to any agreement between you and any Business, is not your business partner, and is not responsible for a Business’s acts or omissions.
A separate Independent Contractor Agreement may apply and is incorporated by reference. In the event of conflict, that agreement controls for contractor status and compensation obligations between you and the applicable payer.
3. Eligibility; Registration; Account Security
- Minimum Requirements: At least 18; valid driver’s license; current auto insurance and registration; compatible smartphone with data.
- Phone Verification: You must verify your phone number to access core driver features.
- Driving Record Eligibility: To enroll as a Driver, you must not have had a DUI or reckless-driving conviction in the prior 12 months. You must promptly report any new DUI or reckless-driving conviction while using the Platform; Local Motion may suspend or remove you from Campaigns.
- Accurate Information: Provide true and current information, including the residential address used to determine the Base Radius.
- Address Changes: You must promptly update your residential address in the Platform if it changes. We may request reasonable verification (e.g., documentation) before applying an address change for eligibility purposes. Your Base Radius may be recalculated based on the updated address.
- Security: You’re responsible for your credentials and activity; notify us immediately of suspected unauthorized use.
- Personal Account: Your account is personal, revocable, and non-transferable. You may not sell, assign, transfer, or share account access.
- Verification: You authorize lawful identity, license, insurance, and other checks to protect Platform integrity.
4. Driver Responsibilities; Safety; Compliance
- Compliance: Follow all laws, including traffic, distracted-driving, and vehicle advertising/display regulations (e.g., windshield coverage, reflective materials, permits). You are responsible for determining whether displaying Ad Materials on your vehicle is lawful wherever you drive, unless Local Motion expressly states otherwise in writing. Do not interact with the Platform while operating a vehicle. If you must use the app, pull over safely and park first.
- No Driving Requirement: You are not required to drive for the Platform and should participate only during your normal personal driving. Do not drive solely to generate mileage or earnings.
- Vehicle: Keep your vehicle safe; do not obstruct visibility with Ad Materials.
- Ad Materials Exclusivity: While enrolled in a Campaign, you may display only the Ad Materials for your currently assigned Campaign and may not display other business advertising decals or magnets at the same time.
- Ad Materials: You may need to install/remove Ad Materials. You assume risks of wear/residue/damage unless a Campaign says otherwise.
- Authorized Vehicle Only: You may only use the vehicle(s) approved in your account. Miles driven in an unauthorized vehicle or without compliant Ad Materials are ineligible and may result in removal.
- Damage, Theft, and Citations: Local Motion is not responsible for vehicle damage, paint wear, vandalism, theft of Ad Materials, environmental wear, or tickets/fines arising from Ad Materials or their display/removal.
- Device Preparedness: Keep the app running with background location, adequate battery, and connectivity.
- Cooperation: You must reasonably cooperate with Local Motion in investigations relating to accidents, complaints, Verification Upload disputes, fraud reviews, chargebacks, and legally required information requests.
- No Misrepresentation: No GPS spoofing, emulators, manipulation of Location Logs, account sharing, or other circumvention.
5. Campaigns; Sign-Up; Assignment; Removal
- Visibility: Campaigns and parameters are set by Businesses and shown to eligible Drivers.
- Enrollment/Assignment: Enrollment does not guarantee assignment or continued participation. Depending on Campaign settings, assignment may occur after automated eligibility, quota, and payment checks, and Businesses and/or Local Motion may remove Drivers subject to law.
- One Active Campaign: Drivers may only be assigned to one active Campaign at a time.
- Campaign Changes; Extensions: Campaign parameters (including duration, quotas, target areas, and requirements) may change. You may be asked to accept an extension request; you may decline and the Campaign will end as scheduled. Changes may affect eligibility and rates.
- Removal/Suspension: A Business or Local Motion may suspend/remove a Driver for breach, suspected unsafe conduct, safety concerns, reputational risk, legal risk, fraud risk, repeated non-compliance, platform abuse, or inactivity.
- No Conflicts: Do not act contrary to Campaign requirements once enrolled.
6. Rates, Miles & Eligibility Rules
- Base Radius (Eligibility Radius): Unless a Campaign or Platform setting states otherwise, miles driven outside your Base Radius are ineligible. As of this Last Updated date, the default Base Radius is 20 miles from your residential address on file.
- Target Zones: Businesses may define ZIP/polygon Target Zones paid at a Target Zone Rate; surfaced in-app when feasible.
- Eligible Miles: Eligible Miles must be (a) during active Campaign dates; (b) recorded by the Platform; (c) within the Base Radius; and (d) compliant with Campaign rules and these Terms (including required Verification Uploads and Ad Materials compliance).
- Ineligible Miles: Miles are ineligible if (a) outside Base Radius; (b) before enrollment/after removal; (c) not recorded due to disabled permissions, power/connectivity issues, or app termination; (d) suspected spoofing/tampering; (e) excluded by Campaign rules; or (f) associated with non-compliant Ad Materials or failed verification.
- Methodology: Mileage is computed from Location Logs using industry-standard methods (e.g., Haversine/route snapping), may be rounded to 0.01 mile, and may remove stationary/low-speed segments.
- Audit/Adjustments: We may review, audit, and adjust mileage for anomalies or error, and may rely exclusively on Platform Location Logs, systems, and calculations; our calculation is final absent manifest error.
- Controlling Records: Manual logs, odometer readings, screenshots, and third-party tracking apps do not control mileage or eligibility unless Local Motion expressly accepts them in writing.
- Disputes: Email support@drivewithlocalmotion.com within 30 days of statement issuance and include reasonable detail (for example, date/time range, Campaign, route context, and the claimed issue).
Ad Materials Verification; Review Process
- Verification Uploads: Campaigns may require initial and periodic Verification Uploads to confirm Ad Materials are installed and compliant.
- Driver Certification: By submitting a Verification Upload, you certify it is truthful, current, accurate, and unaltered.
- License to Use Uploads: You grant Local Motion a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, use, reproduce, review, and share Verification Uploads for campaign administration, fraud prevention, support, compliance, dispute resolution, and enforcement.
- Business Review (Attempts 1–2): The Business may approve or reject the first two attempts. A rejection requires a reason.
- Admin Review (Attempt 3): If earlier attempts are rejected, an admin review may be required for a third attempt.
- Auto‑Approval: If a pending upload exceeds its review deadline, the Platform may automatically approve it.
- Consequences: Failed verification or missing required uploads may suspend tracking eligibility until corrected. Admin rejection may result in removal from the Campaign.
7. Statements; Payments; Processors; Taxes; Chargebacks
- Statement Frequency: Statements are issued end-of-month (EOM) for each Driver who is enrolled in a Campaign that is active during that month (even if you were active for only part of the month). Statements are typically generated within 1–5 business days after month-end.
- Marketplace Payments: Businesses are payers of record and solely responsible for Driver compensation. Local Motion does not guarantee Payouts.
- Decal Purchase Requirement: Certain Campaigns require Drivers to purchase decals/ad materials before joining. Payment is required to complete enrollment.
- Automatic Funding & Payouts: Payouts are initiated automatically after a statement is finalized and only if the applicable Business payment method (used to start/pay the Campaign) successfully funds the amounts due. Payout initiation typically occurs within 5 business days after statement issuance, but timing is not guaranteed and is subject to holds, eligibility review, and processor rules.
- Processors: Payouts are made via third-party processors and are subject to those processors’ terms/policies. You may need to create and maintain an account and complete identity/verification steps required by the processor. Local Motion is not responsible for processor outages, account freezes, verification failures, compliance holds, delayed settlements, or processor-imposed restrictions.
- Payout Failures; Retries; Holds: A payout may fail due to invalid/closed payout accounts, incomplete verification, restrictions imposed by processors, name/identity mismatch, network error, or other causes. If a payout fails, we may automatically retry up to three (3) times (for example, approximately 3, 7, and 14 business days after the failure) unless you update your payout details sooner. If the payout cannot be completed, the amount will be held until you provide valid payout details and the payout can be processed, or until otherwise handled as required by law. You are responsible for maintaining accurate payout information. If payout failures persist, we may pause additional payouts until your payout details are corrected.
- Holds/Chargebacks/Reversals: Payouts may be delayed, withheld, or reversed due to fraud, disputes, chargebacks, Campaign non-compliance, or processor actions. We are not liable for those decisions.
- Recovery/Clawback Rights: To the extent permitted by law, Local Motion may recover, offset, deduct, or reverse previously paid amounts for fraud, ineligible miles, duplicate payments, processor reversals, chargebacks, or system/calculation errors.
- Fees; Setoff: Processor fees, return fees, reversals, chargebacks, or adjustments (including for suspected fraud or ineligible miles) may be deducted from the payout amount, held amounts, or future payouts to the extent permitted by law.
- Taxes: You’re responsible for taxes. Businesses and/or processors may handle reporting per law and processor configuration.
- No Escrow/Insurance: Local Motion is not an escrow or insurer.
8. Data; Privacy; GPS Tracking Consent
- Categories: Identity/verification; contact/residential; vehicle; payment/tax; location/usage (GPS, timestamps, mileage, in/out radius & zones); campaign/earnings; device/app data.
- Purposes: Operate/improve Platform; eligibility; mileage calculation; fraud detection; support; compliance; analytics.
- GPS Consent: You expressly consent to continuous, precise geolocation, including background collection. Disabling location may make miles ineligible and may suspend Campaign participation.
- Business Data Sharing: We may share aggregated or de-identified Campaign analytics with Businesses, including mileage totals and downsampled route previews, but we do not share your home address, personal contact information, or precise real-time location with Businesses unless explicitly disclosed to you and you consent.
- Privacy Policy: Our Privacy Policy governs data processing and your rights; if there’s a conflict, the Privacy Policy controls for processing. (Add your Privacy Policy URL here when available.)
- Retention: We may retain Location Logs and related records as reasonably necessary, including for fraud, audits, legal compliance, and disputes.

12. Term; Suspension; Termination
These Terms apply from account creation until termination. We may suspend/terminate for violations, suspected unsafe conduct, reputational risk, legal risk, fraud risk, repeated non-compliance, platform abuse, or inactivity. Sections intended to survive (including 6–20) will survive.
