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.

4. Intellectual Property
Except as expressly licensed under this Portal Agreement or under separate written agreement with INTTRA, each Party reserves any and all title, right and interests it may have in its trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights.

INTTRA grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, terminable license under INTTRA’s copyrights in any information and data provided to Customer (including data from third parties), directly or indirectly, by or through the Portal, 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, or use any Portal Data in any form at any time without the express written consent of INTTRA.

Claims of Copyright Infringement
INTTRA respects the intellectual property rights of others, and We ask that everyone using the Portal do the same.
