This Independent Contractor Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between NPC Industries, LLC, a California limited liability company doing business as MomWgn (“MomWgn,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), and you (“Driver” or “you”), an individual providing transportation services through the MomWgn platform.

By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions set forth herein and agree to perform services as an independent contractor in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
