Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Haulwerk, the standard platform fee is eighteen percent (18%) of the gross booking amount.

“Gross booking amount” includes the accepted booking price and any approved additional charges, surcharges, disposal-related charges, or other authorized service-related amounts, but excludes taxes collected and remitted where required by law.

Haulwerk may offer alternative fee arrangements, negotiated pricing, promotional pricing, preferred-provider arrangements, enterprise pricing, pilot programs, geographic pricing, or reduced fees for certain providers, partnerships, service tiers, or campaigns.
