Driver acquires no ownership interest, custodial interest, lien, or any other property interest in any product or package transported through StoneyCart at any time. Driver's physical possession of a package for transport purposes does not constitute ownership, custody for legal purposes, or any responsibility for the contents thereof beyond safe transport and delivery.
