Last Updated: June 30, 2025
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. BY ACCEPTING THE AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU READ IT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS.
This agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Driver” or “you”), an independent business engaged in the business of performing the type of delivery services contemplated by this Agreement, and Curri Inc. ("Curri"). Driver and Curri may be referred to here individually as a "Party" and together as the "Parties". This Agreement will become effective on the date it is accepted by Driver regardless of whether Driver is eligible to use or ever uses the Curri application, website, and technology platform that facilitates Curri’s online marketplace (collectively "Curri Platform" or "Platform") to provide delivery services to customers, or otherwise provides delivery services brokered or arranged by Curri customer service or operations personnel. If Driver has not previously manifested their acceptance of this Agreement, this Agreement will be deemed automatically accepted by Driver immediately upon the earlier of: (a) Driver’s creation of a driver account on the Curri Platform, or (b) Driver’s performance of delivery services for any customer through the Curri Platform or otherwise through the arrangements of Curri customer service or operations personnel (unless such services are performed pursuant to employment, contractual, or other business relationship with an independent carrier that has entered into a Carrier/Broker Agreement with Curri). The Agreement will end on the termination date set forth in Section 7 below.
In addition, you acknowledge you have read, understood, and voluntarily agreed to the Curri Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which shall govern your relationship to Curri, your use of the Curri Platform, and your performance of delivery services, except to the extent the Curri Terms of Service or Privacy Policy directly conflict with the terms of this Agreement (in which case, the terms of this Agreement shall control). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Curri Terms of Service.
In consideration of the mutual promises below, and for other good and valuable consideration, Curri and Driver agree as follows:
1. Our Relationship and this Agreement
1.1. Our Relationship
The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is between independent businesses. The Parties intend this Agreement to create a business-to-business relationship. The Parties are not employees, agents, joint venturers, or partners of each other for any purpose. Neither party shall have the right to bind the other by contract (or otherwise) except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
1.2. The Purpose of this Agreement
Except for the Curri Terms of Service, the Non-CMV Deliverer Arbitration Agreement, and the Curri Privacy Policy, this Agreement governs the entire relationship between Curri and Driver, and establishes the Parties' respective rights and obligations applicable to delivery opportunities made available to Driver through the Platform(“Delivery Opportunities”). Nothing in this Agreement requires Driver to use the Platform or to accept or agree to perform any delivery services offered to Driver during the Term of this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement shall guarantee that any particular volume of deliveries or amount of revenue will be available to Driver for any particular time period.
1.3. Modifications
Curri reserves the right, from time to time, to modify this Agreement at any time. Such modifications shall become binding upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. In addition to any other manifestation of your acceptance of this Agreement, continued use of Curri’s Platform or performance of any Services after Curri has posted an updated version of this Agreement on the Curri website (www.curri.com), on any Curri user application, or after Curri has otherwise provided you with notice of any modifications to this Agreement or any Curri policies, shall constitute your acceptance of such modifications. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the Curri website and user applications for any updates to this Agreement or Curri policies applicable to you. Any changes to Driver compensation will be addressed pursuant to the terms of Section 3 below.
2. Who We Are
Curri is a delivery network company which works with delivery network company couriers and app-based drivers to complete delivery services for Senders. Curri is registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) as an authorized broker, U.S. DOT #: 3350325 and MC #: 1071003. Curri owns the Curri Platform, and offers properly licensed and qualified drivers, couriers and motor carrier companies opportunities to perform delivery services, to the extent requested by customers (“Customers”).
As a provider of delivery services you are representing, warranting and confirming, each time you perform such services, that you are independently licensed and qualified to perform them.
If Driver is performing any services within the State of California, (1) Driver and Curri acknowledge and agree that Curri is a “delivery network company,” and Driver is a “delivery network company courier” and “app-based driver,” in each case, as such terms are defined under California Business and Professions Code Section 7463, and (2) solely with respect to services provided in California, Curri shall maintain an automobile liability insurance policy that provides coverage with respect to Driver’s vehicle while performing services pursuant to this Agreement, with a per occurrence limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and Curri hereby adds Driver as an additional insured during Driver’s “engaged time” (as such term is defined in California Business and Professions Code Section 7463) on the Platform to such insurance policy, provided that (i) Driver shall only be added as an additional insured and such coverage shall only apply in instances where Driver’s automobile is not otherwise covered by a policy that complies with subdivision (b) of Section 11580.1 of the California Insurance Code, (ii) such coverage shall be secondary to any insurance coverage maintained by Driver and will not diminish or limit Driver’s liability under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, and (iii) Driver’s additional insured status will be limited to $1,000,000 per occurrence of Curri’s insurance coverage, notwithstanding any other limits or insurance coverages maintained by Curri or by Driver.
3. What We Will Do
3.1. Help You Get Paid for Your Services
3.1.1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Driver and Curri or disputed by Curri in good faith, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Curri Terms of Services, and any other agreements between you and Curri, Driver will receive payment for each completed delivery in accordance with: (a) the amount listed in the Platform for the delivery when the opportunity was accepted by Driver. Curri reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change the payment rates offered through the Curri Platform for new delivery service opportunities at any time for any reason. Driver is free to accept, reject, or ignore any Delivery Opportunities as a means to earn different rates of pay and maximize opportunity for profit. However, if Driver has accepted or agreed to provide services pursuant to any opportunity offered to Driver on the Platform, such Driver’s cancellation of such services may be deemed a Service Failure pursuant to Section 5.1.5.
3.1.2. Unless otherwise agreed between Driver and Curri or disputed by Curri in good faith, and subject to any limitations in this Agreement, Curri agrees to transmit payment for each completed Delivery to Driver via direct deposit payment no later than seven (7) days after Driver successfully completes the Delivery. Curri’s payment obligation under this Agreement for any Delivery is contingent upon Driver fully performing such Delivery including providing copies of any bills of lading, waybills, shipping documentation, or other proof of delivery as Curri may reasonably require. Driver is responsible for any applicable processing fees associated with such remittance, which Curri may deduct from the total payment provided to Driver, unless such deduction is waived by Curri in its sole discretion. Driver further agrees to accept transfer and/or transaction fees, as applicable, for such payments.
3.1.3. Curri will use Stripe to process payments to Driver for the services provided pursuant to this Agreement. As Driver, you represent and warrant that you have reviewed, understand, and agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and Stripe Service Agreement, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
3.1.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Driver is a resident of, or performing services directly in, California, then (i) Curri shall ensure that Driver is compensated, for each 14-day earning period as designated by Curri, with net earnings that are not less than the net earnings floor, in accordance with California Business and Professions Code Section 7453; and (ii) Curri shall provide a quarterly healthcare subsidy to Driver if Driver qualifies for such subsidy in accordance with California Business and Professions Code Section 7454, provided that Driver provides proof to Curri, within 16 calendar days from the end of each calendar quarter, of current enrollment in a qualifying health plan.
3.2. Obey Tax Laws
If Driver receives the minimum annual income established by the Internal Revenue Service, Curri shall report all payments made to Driver on a calendar year basis by issuing an applicable IRS Form 1099. Driver agrees that Curri may fulfill any tax-related obligations, including but not limited to providing 1099 Forms, through any means, including by electronic transmission to the email address associated with Driver’s account, as provided by Driver.
Driver agrees to report all such payments to the appropriate federal, state, and local taxing authorities.
3.3. Communicate With You
3.3.1. Driver agrees that Curri, its affiliates or representatives may contact Driver by email, phone, push notification, SMS, or by other comparable means (including by use of an automatic telephone dialing system) at the email address(es), phone(s), or phone number(s) Driver provides, including for marketing purposes where permitted by law. Driver also agrees and understands that Curri sends information related to deliveries, including delivery fees, user account information, and signup progress to become a Driver, via e-mail, SMS and push notification, so Driver must agree to receive such transactional messages to provide delivery services through the Platform.
3.3.2. SMS and push communications from Curri, its affiliates or its representatives and/or Customers, may include but are not limited to: (1) operational communications concerning your user account, sign up progress to become a Currier, use of the Platform, or features available on the Platform, (2) communications relating to deliveries, including delivery fees, (3) news concerning Curri and industry developments that affect your relationship with us, and (4) account verification communications. With your consent, Curri may also send you marketing SMS regarding promotions from us or our third-party partners. Message and data rates may apply.
IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF MARKETING EMAILS, YOU CAN UNSUBSCRIBE FROM OUR MARKETING EMAIL LIST BY FOLLOWING THE UNSUBSCRIBE OPTIONS IN THE MARKETING EMAIL ITSELF. Please be advised that if you opt out of marketing emails, Curri may still send you emails about your account or any transactions between us. If you wish to opt out of marketing text messages, you may text "STOP" in response to such a text message from the mobile device receiving the messages. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONSENT TO RECEIVE MARKETING TEXTS OR CALLS AS A CONDITION OF PERFORMING SERVICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM.
4. Who You Are
4.1. You Assert You Are An Independent Business
4.1.1. You represent that you are an independent provider of delivery services, offering and providing such delivery services to the public generally, and legally authorized to perform the delivery services contemplated by this Agreement in the geographic location(s) in which you operate. You further represent that you lawfully possess all equipment necessary to perform the delivery services contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with all applicable laws. Driver desires to enter into this Agreement for the right to access the Curri Platform and to otherwise receive Delivery Opportunities (as defined in Section 5.1 below) made available to Driver through the Platform. When performing delivery services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Driver understands and expressly agrees that Driver is not doing so as an employee of Curri or of any Customer. Driver further understands that: (i) Driver is free to select those times Driver wishes to use the Curri Platform to be available to receive Delivery Opportunities in their sole discretion (provided that, once a Delivery Opportunity has been accepted by Driver, Driver is obligated to perform such Delivery Opportunity in accordance with its terms); (ii) Driver is free to accept, reject, or ignore any particular Delivery Opportunities made available to Driver through the Platform (or otherwise offered by Curri customer service and operations personnel) as Driver sees fit to maximize Driver's opportunity to profit; and (iii) subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Curri Terms of Service, Driver has the sole right to control the manner in which deliveries are performed and the means by which those deliveries are completed.
4.1.2. Driver expressly acknowledges and agrees that, as a separately established provider of delivery services, Driver retains the right to perform services for others and to hold themselves out to the general public as a separately established provider of delivery services. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Driver or Curri from engaging in similar arrangements or business with others. Curri neither has nor reserves the right to restrict Driver at any time from performing delivery services for other entities or customers, including delivery services through a business that directly competes with Curri. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, however, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or reduce Driver’s non-circumvention obligations under Section 13.5 of the Curri Terms of Service. This Agreement does not limit you in any way from being actively logged onto online platforms other than the Curri Platform, or from performing services for other businesses while actively logged onto the Curri Platform provided you otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.
4.1.3. Driver is not required, as a condition of doing business with Curri or entering into this Agreement, to purchase, lease, or rent any products, equipment, or services from Curri or any of its affiliates.
4.1.4. Nothing in this Agreement requires a Driver to use the Curri Platform to provide any delivery services or to otherwise accept any Delivery Opportunities offered by Curri. Driver may cease using the Curri Platform to accept Delivery Opportunities at any time without providing Curri notice of Driver’s intention to stop using the Curri Platform (subject to any notice requirements related to any specific Delivery Opportunity Driver has accepted or otherwise agreed to perform).
4.1.5 Driver represents and warrants that Driver has all legal capacity and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
4.2. You Equip, Manage, and Insure Yourself
4.2.1. Equipment and Expenses
(a) Driver represents and warrants that, as applicable, Driver owns or maintains a transferable ownership interest in all equipment, including motor vehicles (collectively "Equipment") necessary to perform Deliveries and a mobile device compatible with the Curri app. Curri will not provide Driver with any Equipment or any other related accessories, signage, uniform, or other materials that may be necessary or beneficial for performing delivery services on the Platform. All such materials are the sole and exclusive responsibility of Driver. Driver agrees that, as part of managing Driver’s own business, Driver will maintain a mobile device compatible with the Curri app and utilize the Curri app while performing Deliveries. When Driver uses a motor vehicle to perform a Delivery, Driver agrees that (i) Driver will identify such motor vehicle on the Curri Platform by inputting all relevant information requested by the Curri Platform with respect to such vehicle, and (ii) Driver will ensure, and is solely responsible for ensuring, that such motor vehicle is in good mechanical condition and repair and conforms to all vehicle laws pertaining to safety, equipment, inspection, and operational capability. Driver’s identification of any motor vehicle on the Curri Platform will be considered an acknowledgement of and receipt for Equipment, to the extent required by applicable law.
(b) Driver is responsible for all costs and expenses arising from Driver's performance of Deliveries, including, but not limited to, traffic tickets, tolls, parking fees, inspections, and any other costs related to Equipment. Except as otherwise required by law, Driver assumes all risk of damage or loss to Driver's Equipment.
(c) Driver will exclusively operate a passenger vehicle or similar means of transportation in performing delivery services on the Curri Platform. As used in this Agreement “passenger vehicle or similar means of transportation” means any sedan, SUV, truck, or van with a gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds or less, and it specifically excludes all commercial motor vehicles (i.e. vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more).
4.2.2. Insurance
As a condition of using the Curri Platform, at Driver's own expense, Driver shall, during the Term of this Agreement, maintain current insurance of the types and in the amounts required by law in the jurisdiction in which Driver operates to perform Driver's delivery services as contemplated by this Agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, vehicle insurance that satisfies the minimum vehicle insurance coverage amounts and types required by state or local law. Driver acknowledges that failure to secure or maintain satisfactory insurance coverage, including but not limited to vehicle insurance if applicable, shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
4.2.2.1. Workers' Compensation/Occupational Accident Insurance. Driver acknowledges and agrees that Driver is not an employee of Curri and is not and will not be eligible for workers' compensation benefits through Curri but, to the extent required by law or otherwise advisable to Driver, Driver is responsible for procuring Driver's own workers' compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, Curri makes available Occupational Accident insurance coverage to cover medical expenses and lost income resulting from injuries Driver suffers while online with Curri’s Platform (more information can be found at https://help.curri.com/en/articles/5212802-occupational-accident-insurance). This Agreement imposes no obligation on Curri to continue to maintain any Occupational Accident insurance covering Driver, and in Curri’s discretion a prorated portion of the premium for the Occupational Accident insurance coverage described hereunder may be deducted from any payment owed to Driver by Curri, provided such deduction is in an amount equal to or less than the amount of premium attributable to the delivery services performed by Driver.
4.2.2.2. Notification of Coverage. Driver agrees to deliver to Curri, upon request, current certificates of insurance, proof or insurance cards, insurance declaration pages, or such other evidence of insurance coverage as Curri may deem acceptable in its sole discretion. Unless waived by Curri, Driver’s insurance policies must be issued by insurance carriers that are A.M. Best “A” rated or of equivalent financial strength in Curri’s reasonable judgment. Driver agrees to make available updated certificates each time Driver purchases, renews, or alters Driver's insurance coverage. Driver agrees to give Curri at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice before cancellation of any insurance policy required by this Agreement. By entering this Agreement, Driver is making Curri an additional insured on Driver's vehicle insurance and Curri reserves the right to require Driver to produce a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage.
4.2.3. Personal Services
Driver agrees, for safety purposes, that Driver will personally pick up and drop off all items accepted for delivery.
4.2.4 Representations and Agreements. The representations, warranties, and agreements made by Driver as a “Deliverer” in Section 13.2 of the Curri Terms of Service are incorporated herein by this reference and made by Driver to Curri.
4.3 No Employment Relationship
As a delivery services provider performing deliveries on the Curri Platform, Driver acknowledges and agrees that Driver and Curri are in a business relationship, and the relationship between the parties under this Agreement is solely that of independent contracting parties. Driver and Curri expressly agree that (a) this is not an employment agreement and does not create an employment relationship between Driver and Curri; and (2) no joint venture, franchisor-franchisee, partnership, or agency relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Driver shall not receive any wages, including vacation pay or holiday pay, from Curri, nor shall Driver participate in or receive any other benefits, if any, available to employees of Curri or any of its affiliates. Unless mandated by law, Curri shall have no authority to withhold state or federal income taxes, social security taxes, unemployment insurance taxes/contributions, or any other local, state, or federal tax on behalf of Driver. The Parties acknowledge and agree that those provisions of the Agreement reserving ultimate authority in Curri have been inserted solely to achieve compliance with federal, state, or local laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof and/or ensure the safety of all delivery services performed under this Agreement.

Driver understands and agrees that the Customer, not Curri or any of its affiliates, determines the content of the Delivery. Driver understands and agrees that the parameters of each Delivery are established by the Customer, not Curri or any of its affiliates, and such parameters represent the result desired, not the means by which Driver is to accomplish the end result.

Accordingly, Driver agrees, as a condition of accepting Delivery Opportunities and performing Deliveries, to abide by any and all Curri safety standards and programs that are generally applicable to all drivers performing services on the Platform and reasonably calculated to ensure public safety in connection with Driver’s delivery services.

Subject to any requirements for a Delivery specified by the applicable Customer, Driver shall be solely responsible for determining the most effective, efficient, satisfactory, and safe manner to perform Deliveries, including determining the manner of pickup, delivery, and route selection.
5.2.4. Driver agrees that to ensure the safety of the Curri Platform, Driver shall submit to and pass a background check, including a Motor Vehicle Record (“MVR”), criminal background check, consumer report, and/or an investigative consumer report, before Driver accepts any Delivery Opportunities or performs any delivery services pursuant to this Agreement.
