By submitting this application, I acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following legally binding terms and conditions. I fully understand that if accepted, I will be engaged as an independent contractor with Road Rescue Network, a brand under Tarlton Technologies. I am not an employee, agent, partner, or representative of Road Rescue Network or Tarlton Technologies, and nothing in this agreement creates an employer–employee relationship, joint venture, or partnership of any kind. As an independent contractor, I am solely responsible for my own business operations, including all taxes, insurance, licensing, permits, equipment, and expenses required to provide services.

I agree that I must, at my own expense and at all times, maintain valid and active automobile liability insurance meeting or exceeding state minimum requirements, commercial automobile insurance when using my vehicle for business purposes, and general liability insurance covering bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury claims. I further agree to maintain any additional insurance required by law in the jurisdiction where I operate. I understand that proof of active insurance must be provided to Road Rescue Network upon request, and failure to maintain such coverage is grounds for immediate termination. I acknowledge that Road Rescue Network does not provide or cover any insurance for me or my vehicle, and I assume full financial responsibility for all accidents, losses, or damages.

I am solely responsible for the condition, legality, and safe operation of my vehicle, equipment, and tools. I will comply with all applicable traffic laws, safety standards, and industry best practices at all times. I understand that Road Rescue Network does not inspect, certify, or maintain my vehicle or equipment, and assumes no responsibility for their use.

I hereby knowingly and voluntarily release, waive, discharge, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Road Rescue Network, Tarlton Technologies, their officers, employees, agents, affiliates, contractors, and successors from any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses of any kind, including attorney’s fees, whether arising from my acts, errors, omissions, negligence, equipment, vehicle, tools, failure to comply with laws or insurance requirements, injuries to myself or others, property damage, losses sustained by customers or third parties, or claims brought by insurers, government agencies, or any other entity. This release is intended to be as broad and comprehensive as legally permissible and applies even to claims of negligence, except where prohibited by law.

I authorize Road Rescue Network to conduct background checks, motor vehicle record checks, and drug or alcohol testing as a condition of participation. I release Road Rescue Network, Tarlton Technologies, and their representatives from any liability related to the collection, review, or use of such information. I further understand that payments are issued only for successfully completed jobs, in accordance with Road Rescue Network’s policies, and that I am solely responsible for reporting and paying all required income and self-employment taxes. Road Rescue Network does not withhold or remit taxes on my behalf.

I acknowledge that Road Rescue Network reserves the unrestricted right to deny, suspend, or terminate my participation at any time, with or without cause, at its sole discretion. Termination may occur immediately if I fail to maintain insurance, provide accurate information, or comply with applicable laws, policies, or safety standards.

I agree that Road Rescue Network may collect, store, and use my submitted information, documents, and images for purposes of verifying eligibility, monitoring compliance, and managing contractor relationships. I understand that my data will not be sold, but may be disclosed to third parties where necessary to comply with legal requirements.

I confirm that I have read this agreement in full, that I understand its terms, and that I accept it freely and voluntarily. I understand that my acceptance of these terms constitutes the legal equivalent of my handwritten signature, that this agreement is binding upon me, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, and that I have had the opportunity to seek legal advice before agreeing.
