All shipments to or from Shipper (which term includes the exporter, importer, sender, receiver, owner, consignor, consignee, transferor or transferee of the shipments or the agent thereof) will be handled by Mr Wilson Logistics (Company) on the following terms and conditions. No agent or employee of either party may alter or waive any of the following terms or conditions:
Company shall have complete freedom in choosing the means, route and procedure to be followed in the handling, transportation and delivery of the goods. Shipper expressly waives all rights and remedies it may have as to Company and its appointed motor carriers under 49 U.S.C. Subtitle IV, Part B (excluding §§ 13703, 13706, 14101 and 14103) to the full extent permitted by 49 U.S.C. § 14101(b)(1), each as amended from time to time. Advice by Company to Shipper that a particular person or firm has been selected to render services as to the goods shall not be construed to mean that Company warrants or represents that such person or firm will render such services.
When Company carries, stores or otherwise physically handles the shipment, including in the performance of any local pick-up or delivery services, it does so subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Paragraph 6 unless a separate bill of lading or other contract is issued by Company, in which event the terms thereof shall govern.
Company is authorized to select and engage carriers, motor carriers, forwarders, customhouse brokers, agents, warehousemen and others as may be required, to transport, store, deal with and deliver the goods, all of whom shall be considered as agents of Shipper. The goods may be entrusted to such parties subject to all conditions as to limitations of liability for loss, damage, expense or delay and to all rules, regulations, requirements and conditions, whether printed, written or stamped, appearing in bills of lading, receipts or tariffs issued by such carriers, motor carriers, forwarders, customhouse brokers, agents, warehousemen and others. Company shall in no event be liable for any loss, damage, expense or delay to the goods for any reason whatsoever when such goods are in the custody, possession or control of third parties selected by Company to forward, enter and clear, transport or render other services with respect to such goods.
Shipper shall provide weight and measurements for its shipments. Shipments are subject to re-weigh and re-measurement by Company. If the weight or measurements of the goods as delivered are different from Shipper’s representations, or if pick-up or delivery time or location is changed by Shipper, Company’s rates, charges and fees are subject to change.
Company will not arrange to insure the goods unless specific written instructions from Shipper providing the kind and amount of insurance have been received and acknowledged by Company in sufficient time prior to shipment from point of origin. Company does not undertake or warrant that such insurance can or will be placed. Insurance coverage provided by Company will be assessed at a rate negotiated between the parties separate from any freight charges. Insured value is not to exceed the actual value of the goods. Shipments must be packaged to withstand the normal hazards of transportation for any claim to be valid. In the event Shipper does not elect to insure all or part of a shipment, Company’s liability for any losses, damages or delays to such shipment shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6. Insurance premiums and the charge of Company for arranging the same shall be at Shipper’s expense.
Shipper agrees that Company shall in no event be liable for any loss, damage, expense or delay to the goods for any reason, including as a result of the gross negligence or other fault of Company, for any amount in excess of $.50/pound, $50 per shipment, or the invoice value, whichever is less, and any partial loss or damage for which Company may be liable shall be adjusted pro rata on the basis of such valuation. COMPANY SHALL NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF PROFIT.
Any shipment that is refused at time of delivery or that is unclaimed at our facility will be put into storage status. The owning party will be notified by e mail of this event and storage will begin 24 hours after such notification. Storage charges will be assessed on a daily basis and the Company’s liability will revert to that of a Warehouseman’s reasonable care level of liability.
When at the request of the Customer, freight is to be held at the Mr Wilson Logistics facility before delivery the freight will go into Short Term Storage. Short Term Storage is defined as 7 calendar days or less and, in lieu of a separate contract or written agreement, charges are assessed on a daily basis and the Company’s liability will revert to that of a Warehouseman’s reasonable care level of liability during the storage period.
Shipper agrees that digitized signature or computer record of delivery receipt is acceptable as proof of delivery of any shipment hereunder.
Quotations as to fees, freight charges, insurance premiums or other charges given by the Company to the Customer are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without notice and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon the Company unless the Company in writing specifically undertakes the handling or transportation of the shipment at a specific rate.
Company shall operate as an independent contractor in performing services for Shipper.
