INTTRA Legal Terms and Conditions
Updated January 10, 2007
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Background
INTTRA, Inc.
(“INTTRA”, “We” or “Us”) operates a transportation network
infrastructure designed to integrate shippers and logistics providers with
INTTRA’s member ocean carriers (“Carriers”) to provide
containerized-ocean-transport services (“Portal”). The Portal can be accessed
via “INTTRA-ACT”, the Web-based user interface found at the INTTRA Web
site and/or via “INTTRA-LINK”, an INTTRA product offering connectivity
provided via standardized methodologies and transactions used to support the
electronic communication of messages between the INTTRA-LINK user and INTTRA’s
transportation network infrastructure. INTTRA offers You access to data,
information, products that may be provided by or through the Portal, INTTRA-ACT
and/or INTTRA-LINK, and/or services that may be provided by or through the
Portal, INTTRA-ACT and/or INTTRA-LINK ("Services"). (“You”,
“Your”, “Yourself”, “User”, or “Customer” shall
be synonymous for purposes of this agreement and shall mean the party making use
of the Portal.) Customer’s access to, and use of the Portal, including the
INTTRA Web site, is subject to these INTTRA Legal Terms and Conditions. INTTRA
and Customer are hereinafter also referred to collectively as the
“Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
2. Use of the INTTRA Portal
By
registering, accessing, browsing, viewing, downloading, generating, receiving or
transmitting any data, information or messages to or from the Portal, You hereby
accept for Yourself and on Your company's behalf, without limitation or
qualification, these INTTRA Legal Terms and Conditions as well as the INTTRA Privacy and Security Policy (collectively
the "Portal Agreement") as currently constituted and as may be updated
from time to time in accordance with its terms. After INTTRA posts changes to
the Portal Agreement to the INTTRA Web site, Your continued use of the Portal
shall constitute Your agreement to such changes. Therefore, You agree to
regularly revisit and review the INTTRA Legal Terms and Conditions and INTTRA
Privacy and Security Policy. We may also require that You accept other terms
and conditions that govern the use of particular Services at the time You
register for or use that Service. This Portal Agreement incorporates by
reference the Terms and Conditions of any Service for which You register or
use. Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the
meanings given such terms in any Terms and Conditions of any Service for which
You may register or use.
3. Change of Information and Services
In its sole discretion, INTTRA shall control the appearance, development and
operation of the Portal, INTTRA-ACT and INTTRA-LINK. INTTRA shall in its sole
discretion set standards for the messaging performance between INTTRA and the
Customer. Information on INTTRA-ACT may be changed and updated without prior
notice. INTTRA may also make improvements and/or changes in the Services,
Portal, INTTRA-ACT and/or INTTRA-LINK, and/or cease to provide any of the
foregoing, at any time without prior notice.

INTTRA-ACT, or INTTRA-LINK (“Portal Data”), to use that Portal Data solely for
Customer’s internal systems processing. Except as expressly licensed in the
previous sentence, Customer shall not at any time display, perform, distribute,

Claims of Copyright Infringement

description of where it is located on the Portal so that We can locate it;
