Electronic Records Consent

1. Purpose and Regulatory Basis

This Electronic Records Consent ("Consent") is provided by RIG53, Inc.("RIG53," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation, to you as a commercial motor vehicle driver participating on the RIG53 platform ("you," "Driver," or "your").

The legal framework for electronic records in the commercial motor carrier context is established primarily by:

• 49 CFR §390.32— Electronic documents and signatures in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations ("FMCSRs"), which permits electronic creation, storage, and exchange of documents required or permitted under 49 CFR Parts 371–399.
• 49 CFR Part 395 Subpart B— Electronic Logging Device ("ELD") requirements mandating electronic recording of hours-of-service data.
• 49 CFR Part 391 — Driver qualification file requirements, including the driver application, road test certificate, MVR, and medical examiner certificate.
• E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq.) — Federal law giving electronic signatures and records the same legal effect as paper-based equivalents.

This Consent is required to enable RIG53 to deliver, exchange, and maintain the records described in Section 2 through electronic means. Your consent is entirely voluntary — you may opt out without penalty to your ability to participate on the platform, though certain features may require electronic record delivery to function as designed.

2. Records Covered by This Consent

By providing your consent, you authorize RIG53 and carriers using the RIG53 platform to create, deliver, store, and exchange the following categories of records in electronic form:

3. Electronic Delivery and Access

4. Your Right to Paper Records

Your consent to electronic records is voluntary. You retain the right to receive a paper copy of any record at any time without fee. To request a paper copy of any record delivered electronically, contact RIG53 at compliance@rig53.com. RIG53 will produce the requested paper record within 5 business days.

For FMCSA-regulated records (DQ file, HOS records), you also have the right under federal regulation to access your records at the motor carrier's principal place of business during normal business hours. Where a carrier on the RIG53 platform is the record holder, you must contact that carrier directly to exercise this right.

5. Revocation of Consent

You may revoke this Consent at any time by contacting RIG53 at compliance@rig53.com with a written request identifying the record categories for which you are withdrawing consent. Revocation is effective prospectively from the date RIG53 processes your request.

Please note the following consequences of revocation:

• Revoking consent for ELD/HOS data integration will disconnect your ELD from the RIG53 platform and prevent real-time load tracking and GPS dispatch features from functioning.
• Revoking consent for DQ file records will require all required documents to be submitted and exchanged in paper form, which may delay carrier approvals and verification status.
• Revoking consent for electronic BOL and POD may prevent use of the digital dispatch and load completion workflows.

Revocation of this Consent does not affect the validity of any electronic records already created or delivered prior to your revocation.

6. Technology Requirements

To access electronic records delivered through the RIG53 platform, you need:

• A device (smartphone, tablet, or desktop/laptop computer) with a modern web browser or the RIG53 mobile app installed
• A valid, active RIG53 account with current email address and phone number
• Reliable internet connectivity
• A PDF viewer to access downloadable document copies

You are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date email address and device software to ensure continued access to electronic records. If your email address changes, you must update it in your RIG53 account settings immediately to avoid missed record delivery.

RIG53 will notify you if there is a material change to its electronic record delivery system that requires you to take action — such as updating your app or browser — to continue accessing records.

7. Recordkeeping and Audit Trail

All records created, delivered, or stored electronically under this Consent are retained by RIG53 in accordance with applicable FMCSA retention requirements:

• DQ file records: Retained for the duration of your active driving engagement plus 3 years, per 49 CFR §391.51(c).
• HOS records (ELD data): Retained for 6 months from the date of creation, per 49 CFR §395.8(k).
• Drug and alcohol records: Retained per 49 CFR §382.401 (1–5 years depending on record type).
• Consent records: The timestamp and version of your consent to this document is retained indefinitely as a compliance record.

RIG53 maintains an immutable audit log of all access to and modifications of electronic records, identifying the accessing user, timestamp, and the nature of the access or modification. This audit trail is available to FMCSA and authorized motor carriers upon lawful request.

8. Electronic Signature

In compliance with 49 CFR §390.32(c) and the E-SIGN Act, electronic signatures on FMCSA-regulated records are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures provided that:

• The signature is uniquely linked to and capable of identifying the signatory;
• The signatory has sole control over the signature creation data at the time of signing;
• Any subsequent change to the signed record is detectable; and
• The signature method links the signatory to the document signed.

RIG53 satisfies these requirements through authenticated account-based click-to-sign functionality. Your signed records include: your RIG53 user identifier, a cryptographic hash of the document content at the time of signing, a timestamp, and your IP address. This data is stored in an tamper-evident audit log.

9. Data Protection and Security

Electronic records stored by RIG53 under this Consent are protected by AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. Access is restricted to you, authorized RIG53 staff with a legitimate operational need, and carriers or shippers with whom you are actively engaged on the platform and who have a regulatory permissible purpose to access your records.

For complete information about how RIG53 collects, uses, and protects your personal data — including your FMCSA compliance records — see our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.
