Information on https://lastmile.express (including blog articles, guides, coverage maps, marketing copy, testimonials, and case studies) is provided for general information only. It does not constitute legal, tax, insurance, employment, or professional advice. You should consult qualified advisers for decisions specific to your business.

No warranty
https://lastmile.express and services are provided “as is” and “as available” to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, except where such disclaimers are prohibited.
We do not warrant uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation of websites, tracking, SMS, or dispatch tools.
Independent delivery contractor
Last Mile Express acts solely as an independent delivery contractor and logistics facilitator. We are not a common carrier, freight forwarder, insurer, warehouse operator, or bailee of goods beyond the limited custody necessarily incidental to performing an accepted delivery task. Unless required by mandatory law or expressly agreed in a signed written contract, we do not inspect, verify, warrant, or assume liability for the contents, legality, condition, value, fitness, temperature integrity, or accurate declaration of parcels tendered for delivery. Responsibility for contents, lawful packaging, accurate labelling, declared value, insurance, and compliance with all applicable laws rests entirely with the sender (and, where applicable, the consignee).
UCHAAPKO INC reserves the absolute right to accept, refuse, suspend, cancel, or rearrange any shipment, route, or engagement for any lawful reason, including safety, capacity, credit risk, weather, or suspected non-compliance. Acceptance of a parcel does not create common-carrier duties, strict liability, or any warranty of fitness, merchantability, or on-time performance beyond what is expressly stated in a signed written agreement.
Drivers and delivery partners
Individuals who provide driving, courier, or delivery labour for Last Mile Express do so as independent contractors (or through their own incorporated entity), not as employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of UCHAAPKO INC, unless a written employment agreement expressly states otherwise. Drivers are responsible for their own licences, vehicle fitness, insurance (including commercial auto and cargo where required), taxes, EI/CPP contributions as applicable, and compliance with traffic and safety laws. Engagement is non-exclusive and may be ended by either party as permitted by the contractor agreement or applicable law. Drivers waive claims against UCHAAPKO INC for employment status, overtime, vacation pay, severance, or employee benefits to the maximum extent permitted by law, without limiting mandatory employment standards where a tribunal or court finally determines employment status.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SHIPMENT, SERVICE, OR THESE POLICIES IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO US FOR THAT SPECIFIC SHIPMENT OR SERVICE EVENT OR (B) CAD $100, UNLESS A HIGHER LIMIT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN A SIGNED WRITING BEFORE PICKUP. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, COVER DAMAGES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and forever discharge UCHAAPKO INC, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, delivery partners, and subcontractors from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, and liabilities of every kind arising from or relating to: (a) the contents, packaging, labelling, or legality of shipments you tender or receive; (b) delay, non-delivery, misdelivery, or failed attempts caused by incorrect information, recipient unavailability, access restrictions, weather, traffic, or events beyond our reasonable control; (c) use of https://lastmile.express or informational content; and (d) any theory of liability other than our proven gross negligence or wilful misconduct where such exclusion is prohibited. Nothing in these policies excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
