CloudeFlip | Last Updated: July 2026
By accessing or using cloudeflip.com, our mobile applications, or any associated services (collectively, the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and CloudeFlip ("we," "us," "our"). If you do not agree, discontinue use immediately.
2.1 Platform Role — CloudeFlip is a technology marketplace that connects customers who need services or want to sell items with independent professionals and buyers. CloudeFlip does not provide services directly, does not employ any professionals, and is not responsible for the quality of work performed.
2.2 Independent Professionals — All professionals ("Pros") on the platform are independent contractors. They set their own schedules, use their own tools, and are solely responsible for the quality and legality of their work.
2.3 Lead Marketplace — CloudeFlip operates as a lead generation marketplace. Customers pay to post projects/listings. Pros pay to unlock leads (contact information). CloudeFlip does not guarantee any transaction will result in a completed job or sale.
3.1 Eligibility — You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract.
3.2 Account Types — Customer accounts (post projects, sell items) and Pro accounts (unlock leads, take jobs).
3.3 Activation Fee — A one-time $50 activation fee is required to verify account authenticity and prevent spam.
3.4 Accuracy — You agree to provide accurate information. Fake listings, fake reviews, or misrepresentation will result in immediate account suspension.
4.1 Customer Fees — Customers pay a posting fee for each listing or project. Fees are non-refundable once posted.
4.2 Pro Fees — Pros pay per-lead to unlock contact information. Lead fees are non-refundable once unlocked.
4.3 Payment Processing — All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. CloudeFlip does not store credit card data.
4.4 No Guarantees — Paying to post a listing does not guarantee a buyer. Paying to unlock a lead does not guarantee a job. CloudeFlip facilitates connections only.
5.1 Identity Verification Required — All users who post loads, request deliveries, or make payments exceeding $100 must complete identity verification through our third-party provider (Stripe Identity). This includes uploading a government-issued photo ID and a live selfie. By using CloudeFlip, you consent to this verification process.
5.2 Biometric Consent — Identity verification involves facial comparison technology to match your selfie to your ID photo. By proceeding with verification, you explicitly consent to the collection and processing of biometric data for fraud prevention purposes. This data is processed by Stripe, Inc. and is not stored by CloudeFlip beyond the verification result.
5.3 Pre-Payment Required — All services on CloudeFlip require full payment BEFORE any driver is dispatched or professional is assigned. No work begins until payment clears. This protects both parties.
5.4 Chargeback & Dispute Policy — By completing payment on CloudeFlip, you acknowledge that:
5.5 Evidence of Service — CloudeFlip maintains comprehensive proof of every completed delivery including: verified identity of the payer (Stripe Identity), 3D Secure bank authentication records, GPS coordinates at pickup and delivery (timestamped), photo proof of pickup condition and delivery placement, 6-digit delivery code confirmation (entered by receiver), real-time GPS tracking throughout transit, and driver identity verification. This evidence is provided to payment processors and banks in the event of any dispute.
5.6 Legitimate Disputes — For deliveries: there are NO post-delivery disputes once the code is verified. All issues must be resolved at the time of delivery, before the code is given. For non-delivery services: if you have a genuine issue, report it through CloudeFlip's in-app system within 24 hours. We will review GPS data, photos, and delivery confirmation to resolve fairly. Do NOT file a bank chargeback — use our system first. Chargebacks filed without first using our system will be contested with full evidence.
5.7 Refund Policy — Refunds are issued at CloudeFlip's sole discretion after investigation. If our evidence shows the service was completed as described (GPS confirms delivery location, photos confirm condition, code confirms receipt), no refund will be issued regardless of the claim.
6.1 Service Model — CloudeFlip connects customers who need items shipped with independent delivery drivers ("Carriers"). CloudeFlip is not a carrier and does not transport goods. Carriers are independent contractors operating under their own authority.
6.2 Delivery Code = Acceptance & Completion — Each delivery is assigned a unique 6-digit verification code. This code is the customer's legal sign-off on the delivery. By providing the code to the driver, the customer confirms:
Once the driver enters the correct code, the delivery is automatically marked COMPLETED, the driver's payout begins its 7-day hold period, and no disputes, claims, or complaints can be filed after this point. The code IS the signature. There is no separate "Mark Complete" step.
6.3 Pickup Responsibility — Driver — At pickup, the driver must:
6.4 Dropoff Responsibility — Customer/Receiver — At dropoff, the customer or authorized receiver must:
6.5 No Disputes After Code — The delivery code system eliminates post-delivery disputes. Both parties must resolve any issues AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY:
6.6 Dropoff Instructions & Receiver Responsibility
6.7 Driver Retains Load — If no receiver is present, no delivery instructions were provided, no code is given, and the customer is unreachable, the driver retains possession of the load until the situation is resolved. The customer is responsible for any return trip or re-delivery costs at the posted rate.
6.8 Wait Time Fees — Drivers wait up to 60 minutes at pickup at no additional charge. After 60 minutes, a wait fee applies (rate set in platform settings, currently $100/hour). At dropoff, the free wait time is 30 minutes for shared loads and 60 minutes for full truck/exclusive loads.
6.9 TONU (Truck Ordered Not Used) — If a customer cancels after a driver has been dispatched and is en route, a cancellation fee of 25–50% of the original load rate applies. Once a driver has loaded cargo, cancellation is not permitted.
6.10 Load Accuracy & Mismatch Policy — Customers must provide accurate information about cargo type, weight, quantity, and dimensions. Customers are shown standard pallet sizes, vehicle capacity limits, and dimension guidelines during booking.
Standard pallet dimensions are 48" × 40". Vehicle capacities: Cargo Van ≤ 1,000 lbs (max height 55"), 16ft Box Truck ≤ 5,000 lbs (max height 84"), 26ft Box Truck ≤ 26,000 lbs (max height 96"), Semi 26,000+ lbs (max height 110"). Customers who exceed posted dimensions or weight by more than 20% are subject to mismatch penalties.
6.11 GPS Verification — Drivers must be physically present within 1 mile of pickup/dropoff locations to confirm arrival. GPS coordinates are recorded at acceptance, pickup, and delivery as proof of service. Attempting to falsify location is grounds for immediate account termination.
6.12 Insurance & Liability — All delivery drivers and carriers on CloudeFlip must maintain active commercial insurance meeting the following minimum requirements:
These requirements apply to all vehicle types including sedans, vans, box trucks, and semi trucks. Sedan and car couriers may obtain commercial coverage as a Sole Proprietor through providers such as Progressive Commercial or Next Insurance under business type "Courier" or "Delivery Services."
Drivers who fail to maintain these minimums will be suspended from receiving loads. Insurance must remain active and unexpired at all times. CloudeFlip may verify insurance status at any time. The declared item value determines maximum liability. CloudeFlip is not liable for damage exceeding the carrier's insurance coverage.
6.13 Refrigerated Loads — Drivers who register as refrigerated carriers accept full responsibility for maintaining correct cargo temperature throughout the entire trip. Standard temperatures: 34°F–40°F for fresh goods, -10°F to 0°F for frozen goods (unless customer specifies otherwise). Drivers must inspect their reefer unit before every trip. If cargo is damaged due to temperature failure caused by driver neglect (failure to fuel, maintain, or monitor the unit), the driver and their insurance are fully liable for the value of the damaged cargo. Reefer unit breakdown due to lack of maintenance is considered driver negligence.
6.14 Driver Vehicle Accuracy — Drivers confirm their vehicle meets minimum cargo area and payload requirements during onboarding. If a driver arrives at pickup with a vehicle smaller than what they confirmed at signup:
By confirming vehicle specs during onboarding, drivers accept full responsibility for ensuring their vehicle can accommodate loads assigned to their vehicle class. "I didn't know" is not a valid excuse after confirmation.
6.15 Prohibited Shipments — Illegal items, undeclared hazardous materials, live animals (unless specifically arranged), and items exceeding declared weight/dimensions by more than 20% are prohibited. Violations result in immediate account termination.
6.16 Driver Safety Equipment & Load Securement — Drivers must maintain proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and load securement tools in their vehicle at all times. Required PPE includes: high-visibility safety vest, steel-toe boots, work gloves, hard hat, safety glasses, hearing protection, fire extinguisher (FMCSA required), first aid kit, and 3 emergency reflective triangles. Required load securement equipment includes: ratchet straps, corner/edge protectors, moving blankets, and friction mats. Many pickup and delivery facilities will deny entry without proper PPE. If a driver is denied facility access due to missing safety equipment, it is treated as a driver no-show and the driver forfeits trip payment. Drivers must use corner/edge protectors when strapping pallets or boxes to prevent crush damage. Cargo damage caused by improper securement (over-tightened straps without protectors, unsecured shifting loads) is the driver's liability.
6.17 Liftgate, Loading Equipment & Driver Assistance — During booking, customers must select whether they need a liftgate-equipped truck. This selection is mandatory for pallets, heavy equipment, and large items.
Customers acknowledge they have read and understood the liftgate and loading requirements during booking. The platform requires explicit selection (Yes/No) before checkout — failure to select is not possible. Selecting "No" when a liftgate is actually needed is the customer's responsibility and will result in a failed pickup with full driver payment.
6.18 Transloading, On-Site Helpers & Unloading Fees — Freight shipments often require equipment or labor at the dropoff location that differs from what was available at pickup. Customers must understand and accept the following:
By booking a delivery, customers acknowledge that pickup and dropoff conditions may differ, and that additional fees for helpers, equipment, or transloading are their responsibility. CloudeFlip facilitates the connection — we do not provide labor, forklifts, or transloading services directly.
6.19 Delivery Appointment Times & Hold Fees — Customers may request specific pickup and delivery times during booking. The following rules apply:
Hold Fee Schedule:
Distance Reduction: Hold fees are reduced based on trip distance because longer trips already compensate the driver adequately:
Hold time is calculated as the difference between the estimated arrival time (based on route distance at average speed) and the customer's requested delivery time. This fee is shown to the customer during booking before checkout.
By setting a specific delivery time that creates a hold period, the customer acknowledges they are paying for the driver's time and vehicle availability during that window. Cancellation of a held delivery after pickup results in full delivery payment plus hold fees owed to the driver.
6.20 Regional Fuel Adjustment — Delivery pricing on CloudeFlip is automatically adjusted based on fuel costs in the pickup and dropoff regions. Fuel prices vary significantly by state (e.g., California vs. Texas), and this adjustment ensures fair pricing for both customers and drivers.
6.21 Declared Value & Cargo Insurance Matching — Customers must declare the approximate value of their shipment during booking. This value determines which drivers are eligible to transport the load based on their cargo insurance coverage.
6.22 Accessorial Charges — The following additional fees apply when delivery requires non-standard services beyond basic curb-to-curb transport. These are selected during booking and shown in the price before checkout:
Accessorial charges are non-refundable once the driver has been dispatched. If a customer selects "no stairs" but the driver arrives and there are stairs, the driver may refuse delivery or quote the stair fee on-site. Customer must pay or accept failed delivery (driver paid in full).
6.23 Return Pickup & Reverse Logistics — Customers may book a return shipment (picking up cargo from a recipient and returning it to the original sender or a different location). The following applies:
6.1 Pro Verification — Pros may be required to provide: photo ID, CSLB license, Google Business listing, or city/county business license depending on their trade.
6.2 Verification Limits — Verification confirms identity only. It does not guarantee quality of work, licensing status, or insurance coverage. Customers should independently verify credentials for licensed work.
6.3 Ratings — Users may rate each other after completed projects. Ratings are averages and update periodically. Abuse of the rating system will result in account action.
You agree NOT to:
9.1 Strike System — Drivers — Drivers receive strikes for: no-shows (instant suspension), incomplete deliveries, poor quality, safety violations, or verified customer complaints.
9.2 Strike System — Customers — Customers receive strikes for: load mismatches (posting inaccurate cargo info), no-shows at pickup/dropoff, refusing to give code after confirmed delivery, abusive behavior toward drivers, or filing false reports.
9.3 Suspension — 3 strikes = account suspended (drivers or customers). 1 no-show = immediate suspension (drivers). Rating below 3.0 with 5+ reviews = flagged for review. Repeated bad ratings from 3+ different users = suspended.
9.4 Mutual Rating System — Both drivers and customers rate each other after every completed delivery:
9.5 No Post-Delivery Disputes for Code-Verified Deliveries — Once the delivery code is entered and verified, the delivery is final. No disputes, claims, chargebacks, or complaints will be accepted for code-verified deliveries. The code is the customer's signature confirming acceptance. If you have an issue, resolve it BEFORE giving the code.
9.6 Dispute Resolution (Non-Delivery Jobs) — For non-delivery services, both parties may submit their account of events. CloudeFlip reviews disputes and makes final decisions at its sole discretion.
CloudeFlip is a marketplace platform only. We are NOT liable for:
Maximum liability is limited to the fees you paid to CloudeFlip in the preceding 12 months.
CloudeFlip reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without cause. Upon termination, unused lead credits are forfeited.
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be communicated via email.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of San Mateo County, California. By using CloudeFlip, you consent to this jurisdiction.
Binding Arbitration — For disputes under $10,000, both parties agree to binding arbitration rather than court proceedings. This reduces costs for everyone and provides faster resolution.
