1. In tendering this shipment, the shipper and all other parties agree to these Conditions of Contract for Carriage or Terms and Conditions, which no agent or employee of the parties may alter, and that this shipping document is non-negotiable and has been prepared by the shipper. The terms Forwarder / Carrier shall be interpreted to identify Challenger Freight Systems, Inc, CFS Logistics Group, LLC or any other partner, broker, carrier or other means of conveyance that the Forwarder / Carrier selects for transit. The shipper certifies and represents to Forwarder / Carrier that the information inserted on the face of this shipping document is complete and accurate. NOTE: "Shipper" on this contract means the party from whom the shipment is received, the party who requested the shipment be transported by Forwarder / Carrier, any party having an interest in the shipment, and any party who acts as an agent for any of the above. Except to the extent of any written contract between shipper and Forwarder / Carrier, this shipping document supersedes and negates any claimed, alleged or asserted oral or written contract, promise, representation or understanding between the parties with respect to this shipment.

All portions of this Conditions of Contract for Carriage or Terms and Conditions, shall stand alone and any invalidation of one or more statements, shall not affect the validity or requirements of any other statement. This applies to outside contracts as well. Any portion or statement contained in this Conditions of Contract for Carriage or Terms and Conditions, not specifically over-ridden by a statement or section held within the outside contract, will remain in force, and all parties agree to the surviving portions of this Conditions of Contract for Carriage or Terms and Conditions.

2. In the event that shipment is tendered to Forwarder / Carrier on a straight bill of lading or any other shipping document, Forwarder / Carrier's rules and regulations will supersede any rules and regulations contained on the shipping document on which the freight was tendered.

3. Shipper warrants that each package in this shipment is properly and completely described on this shipping document, is properly marked and addressed, is packaged adequately to protect the enclosed goods to insure safe transportation with ordinary care in handling, and except as noted, is in good order and condition. For articles shipped unenclosed, unpackaged or outside of original manufacturer packaging, Forwarder / Carrier shall not be liable for damage/loss unless gross mishandling and/or loss is evident and is so noted on the delivery receipt at time of delivery. NOTE: A shipment in which delivery is made in exchange for a clear delivery receipt shall be prima facie evidence of having received ordinary care in handling. Acceptance of a shipment by the Forwarder / Carrier does not forgive or overrule the Shipper’s responsibility for adequate and proper packaging. Damage incurred due to improper or no packaging will negate any claim. This includes declared value claims. In the instance of Shipper Load and Count, Forwarder / Carrier shall have no liability for in transit damage or loss when Shipper or Shipper’s agent loads and seals the conveyance in absence of the Forwarder / Carrier or it’s agent. In the instance that load was prepared, but Forwarder / Carrier was not able to examine or certify shipment commodity prior to loading, Forwarder / Carrier will have no liability for loss or damage.

4. At time of delivery, the consignee must note on the delivery receipt any exceptions to the shipping containers that would indicate a discrepancy (shortage in the shipment or damage to the containers). The consignee may not inspect the contents of the shipping containers until the consignee signs for the shipment on the delivery receipt. NOTE: Such notations as "subject to inspection" and "subject to recount" are not exceptions. NOTE: A shipment in which delivery is made in exchange for a clear delivery receipt shall be prima facie evidence of having received ordinary care in handling. NOTE: Under no circumstances shall Forwarder / Carrier be liable for loss and/or damage to external shipping containers of any kind.

5. Forwarder / Carrier SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, INCOME, INTEREST, UTILITY OR LOSS OF MARKET, WHETHER OR NOT Forwarder / Carrier HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH DAMAGES MIGHT BE INCURRED.

6. Due to the inherent nature of the transportation business, Forwarder / Carrier does not guarantee pick up, transportation or delivery by a stipulated date or a stipulated time, nor shall Forwarder / Carrier be liable for the consequences of failure to do so.

7. Overcharge claims must be received in writing by Forwarder / Carrier within one year after date of acceptance of the shipment by Forwarder / Carrier. Written notification on all other claims (except concealed loss/damage claims) must be received in writing by Forwarder / Carrier within 30 days after Forwarder / Carrier accepted the shipment. Notification of concealed loss/damage claims (i.e., claims for loss or damage discovered by the consignee after delivery and after a clear receipt has been given) must be received in writing by Forwarder / Carrier within 48 hours after delivery. For damage claims and concealed loss claims, Forwarder / Carrier must be allowed the privilege to make inspection of the shipment and the container(s) and packaging material(s) at place of delivery. Claims must be perfected within 180 days after delivery or date delivery was intended. No claims will be entertained until all transportation charges have been paid. Claims may not be deducted from transportation charges and no claims may be deducted from any charges owed Forwarder / Carrier. Legal action to enforce a claim must be brought within one year after the claim has been denied in writing by Forwarder / Carrier, in whole or in part. No claims for loss or damage will be entertained, nor will any claims be paid unless Shipper, Consignee or Third Party Designate account(s), is/are paid current to within 45 days.

8. Forwarder / Carrier's liability, in the absence of a higher declared value for carriage, is limited to a maximum of $50.00 per shipment or $0.50 per pound, per piece, of cargo lost, damaged, misdelivered or otherwise adversely affected, whichever amount is less, but in no event shall amount exceed the actual invoice value of the goods. This limitation is subject to provisions in effect at the time of this
shipment. Declared values for carriage in excess of $0.50 per pound, per piece, shall be subject to an excess valuation charge.

9. Unless each piece of the shipment has a declared value stated and is specifically identified on the Forwarder / Carrier's shipping document at the time of the shipment and is so identified on the delivery receipt as being lost, damaged, destroyed, or otherwise affected at time of delivery, Forwarder / Carrier shall be liable subject to liability provisions in effect at the time of the shipment for the "average declared value" of the shipment. The "average declared value" of the shipment shall be determined by first dividing the total declared value of the shipment by the total weight of the shipment. This figure, multiplied by the packaged weight of the piece(s) adversely affected, shall then establish the amount of Forwarder / Carrier's liability. The total declared value amount must be inserted in the DECLARED VALUE box on the face of this shipping document. Forwarder / Carrier's liability shall in no event exceed the actual invoice value of the goods adversely affected.
No declared value claim will be paid, where a clear and accurate description has not been supplied, and the description is noted on all shipping documents. It shall be the shippers / customers responsibility to provide and document the clear and accurate description for all items being tendered for transit.
If it is found that the description does not accurately match the items tendered, Forwarder / Carrier may, at it’s sole discretion, refuse to accept any shipment and may refer the shipper to DHS for investigation.
10.

If the shipper fails to accept delivery of a shipment thus returned, Forwarder / Carrier may, upon 30 days written notice to the shipper, dispose of the shipment at public or private sale and pay itself out of the proceeds to satisfy the transportation charges owing on the shipment. This rule will discharge any liability or lien to any greater extent than the proceeds thereof. The shipper and the consignee shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency. Any value declared at the time of shipment, shall cease upon refusal of the delivery. If the shipper requests declared value coverage for the return transit, an additional charge shall be assessed and payable upon delivery.
