Brand and Partner Terms

Last updated: July 8, 2026

By supplying products for placement or sale through RouteRally, or by signing a separate insertion or sponsorship order that references these terms, you (“Sponsor”) agree to these Brand and Partner Terms with RouteRally (“RouteRally,” “we,” “us”).

1. About these terms

These terms govern the relationship between RouteRally and the Brand for (a) complimentary product samples placed in customer delivery bags, and (b) packaged add-on products offered for sale to customers through the Service. A separate written insertion order, sponsorship order, or email confirmation may set out specific details such as products, quantities, dates, placement, and fees. If there is a conflict, the signed insertion order controls for that campaign, and these terms fill in the rest.

2. The arrangement

The Brand provides products to be sampled or sold to customers alongside pooled deliveries. RouteRally handles placement of samples in delivery bags and, for add-on products, the customer-facing listing, ordering, and delivery logistics. The Brand is and remains the manufacturer, brand owner, or authorized distributor of its products and is responsible for the products themselves as described below.

3. Product warranties

For every product the Brand supplies for sampling or sale, the Brand represents and warrants that:

• the product is safe for its intended use and fit for consumption or use by the general public;
• the product is delivered sealed in the manufacturer’s packaging and has not been tampered with;
• the product is fully and accurately labeled, including the manufacturer or brand, ingredients, allergen information, net quantity, and any warnings or instructions required by law;
• the product, its packaging, and its labeling comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including food-safety, labeling, and consumer-protection requirements;
• the product is not subject to any recall, safety notice, or regulatory action, and the Brand is not aware of any defect or safety issue;
• the product does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party;
• the product is within its shelf life and will remain so through the sampling or sale period; and
• the Brand has the right to supply the product and to grant the rights in these terms.

4. Prohibited and restricted products

The Brand will not supply, and RouteRally will not knowingly place or sell, any age-restricted or unlawful product, including alcohol, tobacco, nicotine or vaping products, cannabis or hemp-derived intoxicants, prescription products, weapons, or any product that may not lawfully be provided to the general public without age verification or a license. Products with significant regulatory requirements (for example, dietary supplements requiring specific warnings) may be placed only if the Brand confirms full compliance in writing in advance.

5. Recalls and safety

If a product is recalled, or if the Brand learns of a safety issue, mislabeling, or contamination, the Brand will notify RouteRally immediately and cooperate to stop further distribution and to address affected customers. The Brand is responsible for the costs of a recall or safety response involving its products.

6. Responsibility for products

As between RouteRally and the Brand, the Brand is solely responsible for its products, including their manufacture, contents, safety, quality, and labeling. RouteRally does not manufacture, alter, repackage, or relabel the products, and provides placement and logistics only.

7. Insurance

The Brand will maintain, at its own expense, commercial general liability and product liability insurance appropriate to its products, with coverage of at least the amount stated in the applicable insertion order (and, absent a stated amount, commercially reasonable limits customary for consumer products). On request, the Brand will name RouteRally as an additional insured and provide a certificate of insurance. The Brand’s insurance is primary with respect to claims arising from its products.

8. Indemnification

The Brand will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RouteRally and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to: the Brand’s products (including illness, injury, allergic reaction, defect, or mislabeling); the Brand’s breach of these terms or its warranties; or the Brand’s violation of any law or third-party right. RouteRally will notify the Brand of a covered claim and reasonably cooperate in the defense.

9. Feedback and data

RouteRally may collect customer feedback about sampled products (such as ratings and comments) and may share it with the Brand in aggregated or anonymized form. RouteRally does not provide customer contact information to the Brand without the customer’s consent. The Brand may use this feedback to improve its products, and will not attempt to re-identify customers or use the feedback to contact customers directly.

10. Trademarks and marketing

The Brand grants RouteRally a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Brand’s name, logo, and product images to display and promote the sampling or sale of its products through the Service during the campaign. Each party keeps ownership of its own trademarks and brand assets. Neither party will make public statements implying a broader partnership or endorsement without the other’s consent.

11. Independent parties

RouteRally and the Brand are independent parties. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship, and neither party may bind the other.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. This limitation does not affect the Brand’s indemnification obligations or a party’s liability for its own willful misconduct.

13. Term and termination

These terms apply for the duration of the applicable campaign or insertion order and any period in which the Brand’s products remain in distribution. Either party may end a campaign on reasonable notice. Obligations that by their nature should survive (including warranties, insurance, indemnification, recall cooperation, and confidentiality) survive termination.

14. Compliance with laws

Each party will comply with all laws applicable to its activities under these terms. The Brand is responsible for any permits, registrations, or approvals required to supply its products.

15. General terms

• Entire agreement: these terms plus any signed insertion order are the entire agreement on their subject.
• Severability and waiver: if a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect; not enforcing a right is not a waiver.
• Assignment: neither party may assign without the other’s consent, except in connection with a merger or sale.
• Governing law: these terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, and disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois.
