Our legal framework — cotransportage

Tipper operates within the framework of parcel cotransportage (cost-shared parcel carrying) set out by the French mobility law (loi d'orientation des mobilités, LOM).

A non-professional activity

Tippers are not professional carriers or employees. They carry a parcel on the occasion of a trip they are making on their own account.

Cost-sharing, not remuneration

The contribution asked for covers the costs of the trip (fuel, wear, tolls). It is not a wage or business income.

Existing trips

Cotransportage attaches to a journey the Tipper would have made anyway; these are not dedicated trips.

No relationship of subordination

The Tipper freely chooses their trips, with no imposed schedule and no hierarchy. Tipper is a connection intermediary.

The role of merchants

A partner merchant simply offers the option "carrying by a Tipper"; it is the customer who chooses it at checkout. The connection is made between the customer and the Tipper.

An evolving regulation

The contribution stays within the cost-sharing limit set by the regulation applicable to cotransportage. Cotransportage evolves with the regulation; we adapt our practices accordingly.
