1. What this is.
Food Truck Nation, LLC (“FTN”) is running a pilot in Florida. You (“Host”) list the days a vending area on your property is open to a food truck; FTN publishes those days in a public catalog; a verified food truck operator (“Operator”) books one and pays through FTN. This page, together with FTN’s Pilot Terms of Use & Privacy Notice at www.foodtrucknation.com/privacy — incorporated here by reference — is the entire agreement between you and FTN for the pilot. If this agreement and the Pilot Terms of Use & Privacy Notice conflict, this agreement controls, except that Sections 8 through 10 of the Pilot Terms of Use & Privacy Notice govern how FTN collects, stores, and retains your information.
2. What FTN does and does not do.
FTN is a facilitator. FTN is not a party to your arrangement with any Operator, and is not your landlord, tenant, property manager, real estate broker, insurer, guarantor, agent, or employer. FTN does not supervise the Operator, control what happens on your property, or decide who is at fault when something goes wrong — it documents and routes; it does not adjudicate. A booking gives the Operator a limited, revocable license to use the vending area during the booked hours. It is not a lease and creates no tenancy or right of possession, and you may end it at any time; the Operator’s remedy is the refund under Section 9.
3. A listed day is an open offer.
You give FTN your weekly days and hours, and FTN lists those days in advance; Operators can book a listed day until 24 hours before its start time. Every day you list can be booked instantly by any verified Operator. There is no pre-booking approval step; FTN’s verification process is a limited screening and not a guarantee of any Operator’s conduct, suitability, or qualifications. Days you do not list are entirely your own business. If a listed day stops being available, tell FTN immediately, and FTN will close it.
4. Your price, and FTN’s fee.
You set the base price for a Site Day, and $0 is a valid price. FTN’s host fee is 20% of your base price (subject to change for future bookings on reasonable notice), taken out of the booking, never invoiced or charged upfront. You net 80% of your base. A $0 listing means a $0 fee and $0 to you. The Operator separately pays FTN its own booking fee and a service fee; that is FTN’s money, not yours.
5. Getting paid (priced listings only).
If your base price is above $0, you must complete Stripe Connect Express onboarding before your listing goes live. When an Operator pays, the charge splits in that same moment and your 80% lands in your own Stripe account balance — not FTN’s. FTN never holds your money and cannot send it anywhere but to you, except to fund a refund that this agreement or the Pilot Terms of Use provide for, or to cover a chargeback on that booking; it controls only the timing, releasing the payout to your bank the business day after the Site Day (or, if later, once Stripe makes the funds available) unless FTN reasonably suspects fraud, a chargeback, or a breach of this agreement, in which case FTN may delay the payout until the issue is resolved. This is a payout schedule, not an escrow. If the Operator cancels more than 24 hours before the Site Day, the booking is refunded and your share for that day comes back out of your Stripe balance; if the Operator cancels within 24 hours or does not show up, you keep your share. If you list at $0 there is no money to route and no Stripe onboarding.
6. Insurance.
Carry Commercial General Liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate for the whole pilot, and give FTN a certificate naming Food Truck Nation, LLC as certificate holder. FTN reserves the right to require additional insured status at any time during the pilot. If you serve alcohol, your policy must include liquor liability — a standard CGL policy excludes it. You authorize FTN to confirm it with your carrier, broker, or agent. If it lapses, your listing comes off the catalog until it is current, and FTN may cancel Site Days booked after the lapse, refunding the Operator in full. Every Operator carries their own coverage and FTN carries its own; neither replaces yours.
7. Authority to list the site.
By listing your property with FTN, you certify that you own this property or lease or otherwise control it and your lease or agreement permits food truck operations on it — and you are authorized to sign for the business named in your application. If that is not true, you will indemnify FTN as provided in Section 13. FTN checks your business details against Florida corporate and county property records, and will not contact your landlord or the owner of record.
8. The site.
Food truck operations are permitted here — zoning, local ordinance, and any association, HOA, or landlord restriction — and there is no open code enforcement against the property that would affect them. On each booked day the vending area will be available, accessible, and reasonably safe, and will match your listing, including its size and any power, water, amenities or access you said was included. Tell FTN and the Operator promptly if any of that changes.
9. Cancellations.
FTN acts on your own word about your Site Days and on the Operator’s own word about theirs, each sent to FTN as this section says. A message from one of you about the other changes nothing by itself. FTN records when it receives each message, applies the rules below, and does not decide who was right. If you cancel before the day. Tell FTN by email as soon as you know. FTN refunds the Operator in full, no payout is due to you for that day, and FTN bears its own fees and the card costs. There is no host cancellation fee during the pilot. If you end a Site Day after the truck arrives. The same applies when you tell FTN that you or the property owner ended the day. Ending a Site Day early is your decision and your exposure; FTN takes no position on whether you were entitled to end it. If the Operator reports a problem on arrival. If, no later than 2 hours after the Site Day’s start time, FTN receives an email from the Operator with at least one photo of the site in which the Operator says the site is locked or cannot be entered, unsafe, without room to set up, materially different from your listing, or missing a promised amenity, and that they are leaving, FTN refunds the Operator in full for that day and for any later days of the same booking at your site, and no payout is due to you for those days. The Operator is asked to tell you first, so you can fix the problem if you can. FTN does not assess the photo or the report; it keeps them on record and forwards them to you. These days do not count toward Repeated cancellations. After those 2 hours, an Operator’s report changes nothing unless you tell FTN that you or the owner ended the day; FTN keeps the report. FTN also forwards it to you, without asking you anything. FTN also counts arrival-problem refunds at your site over any 90 days; at the third, FTN may pause the listing for 14 days. This is a count, not a finding about any one report.
Weather and other events outside anyone’s control. Handled under the Pilot Terms of Use: no fault either way, and the Operator is refunded in full. Such a day does not count toward Repeated cancellations if, within 72 hours, you send FTN a link to a government order or National Weather Service alert that covers your site and the Site Day. FTN checks only that the link opens, is a government or NWS page, and matches the date and place; it does not judge the event. Repeated cancellations. FTN counts the Site Days you cancel or end early over any 90 days. At the second, FTN may pause your listings for 14 days; at the third, your participation ends. Stopping an Operator from booking your site. You may tell FTN, from the email or phone it has on file for you, that a specific Operator may not book your site again. FTN honors that without asking for a reason. If that Operator has Site Days booked at your site, FTN cancels them and refunds the Operator in full; those days do not count toward Repeated cancellations.
10. Problems, damage, and disputes.
Issues with an Operator stay between you and that Operator. FTN passes information along and keeps a record, but will not assign fault, hold anyone’s money as leverage, or pay damage claims — property damage is a claim against the Operator and their insurer. Report anything material within 24 hours. When a Site Day is booked, FTN gives the Operator your name, phone, and email, the site’s exact address, and your arrival instructions (any gate or door codes go to the Operator by email on the morning of the Site Day), and gives you the truck’s name, cuisine, and photo, and its phone for problems with the site on the day only. Cancellations and everything else go through FTN.
11. Booking through FTN.
For the sites and days you list with FTN, during the pilot and for 60 days after it ends, bookings with Operators who booked through FTN or were otherwise connected to you through FTN’s platform go through FTN and carry FTN’s fee. Sites and days you never listed are outside this, except with an Operator you were first connected with through FTN. If it happens anyway the consequence is that your participation ends and you will pay FTN the fee it would have earned on each circumvented booking as liquidated damages.
12. Term.
Begins when you accept and continues until the pilot ends. Either of us may end it at any time, effective immediately, and FTN may additionally suspend your listings at any time pending investigation — except that Site Days already booked stand unless cancelled under Section 6 or 9. Sections 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive.
13. Liability and indemnity.
FTN’s total liability to you arising out of the pilot is capped at the greater of the fees FTN collected on your bookings or $500, and FTN is not liable for lost profits or other indirect damages. For the avoidance of doubt, this cap does not limit your indemnification obligations under this Section. You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FTN against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your breach of this agreement, a false statement in Section 7 or 8, the condition of your property, your negligence or willful misconduct, or your violation of law.
14. Law and disputes.
Florida law governs. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration as set forth in the Pilot Terms of Use & Privacy Notice; provided, however, that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration. You waive any right to participate in a class action. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim not arising out of a contract must be brought within one year after it accrues. Additional details regarding arbitration, venue, and the class-action waiver are in the Pilot Terms of Use & Privacy Notice, which you accept together with this agreement.
When you apply, you confirm the following separately, by ticking its own box: you own this property, or you lease or otherwise control it and your lease or agreement permits food truck operations on it, and you are authorized to sign for the business named in your application. If that is not true, you will indemnify FTN as provided in Section 13.
