Welcome to Scapegoat. Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using our dynamic intake forms or rate calculation tools (collectively, the "Services") embedded on this website.
By submitting information or requesting a fulfillment quote via the Services, you (“User”, “Client”, or “Brand”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not utilize the Services.
The Services are powered by Scapegoat, an independent technology provider that operates a collective logistics optimization marketplace and lead-routing ecosystem known as the "Vacancy Chain". Scapegoat partners with a regional network of independent third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse providers (each a "Network Partner").
The Services are designed to dynamically calculate real-time estimated fulfillment rates based on the operational profile metrics provided by the User.
User acknowledges and agrees to the following structural routing mechanics of the Scapegoat platform:
Non-Binding Quotes: All real-time dynamic pricing via on-screen display or automated PDF email generation, constitutes a good-faith operational estimate.
Final Scope of Work: Dynamic rates presented do not constitute a final binding contract. Final binding logistics agreements are subject to physical verification of inventory profiles and a mutually executed formal Scope of Work (SOW) between the User and the designated Network Partner.
Submission of Operational Data: User represents and warrants that all supply chain metrics, volume projections, and contact information provided are accurate to the best of their knowledge.
Authorized Processing: User grants Scapegoat and its Network Partners a secure, non-exclusive right to process and transfer the provided metrics internally for the sole purpose of generating rate quotes and facilitating business introductions.
Data Restriction: Scapegoat does not sell consumer or business contact data to third-party advertising companies. Data movement is restricted to verified logistics operators within the closed Scapegoat network. For a complete breakdown of data compliance under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), please review our Privacy Policy.
Independent Entities: Scapegoat is a software and marketing routing service platform. Each warehouse within the network operates as an entirely independent business entity.
Limitation of Liability: Scapegoat assumes no liability, and explicitly disclaims all responsibility, for the physical operations, inventory management, performance, delays, losses, or contractual disputes that may arise between a User and any Network Partner matching through the Vacancy Chain.
These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of California.
