YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES

Unacceptable Consignments:

1.1 A Consignment shall be deemed to be unacceptable in the following circumstances:

If there is no customs declaration and one is required by applicable customs regulations;

If it contains any hazardous, restricted, dangerous or prohibited materials as determined by the ADR (European Road Transport Regulation on dangerous goods), by IATA (International Air Transport Association), by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), or any other relevant and/or regulatory organisation (“Dangerous Goods”).

If the address on the Consignment is incorrect or not properly marked, if the packaging is defective or not adequate enough to ensure safe transportation with ordinary care in handling.

2. Deliveries and Undeliverables

2.1 We are unable to make deliveries to postal boxes (PO Boxes) or postal codes.

2.2 The Consignment shall be delivered to the address, as stated on the Consignment, however, not necessarily to the named recipient personally, unless otherwise arranged.  Any Consignment/s with an address that falls within a central receiving area shall be delivered to that area.

2.3 All Consignments are to be accepted at the Delivery Point.  The recipient at the Delivery Point shall be required to provide Us with an appropriate acknowledgement of receipt which acknowledgement of receipt shall be deemed to be conclusive proof of delivery of the Consignment by Us.  This clause shall not apply if the acknowledgement of receipt has been obtained as a result of fraud, collusion or dishonesty by Us.

2.4 If Your employees are on strike, including any employees of the person receiving such delivery, Our representative shall not be required to perform any additional duties or any duties of a strike-breaking nature.

2.7 We shall have the right to destroy any Consignment which any law prevents Us from returning to the Customer as well as any Consignment of Dangerous Goods.

3.1 We reserve the right to open and inspect a Consignment for safety, security, customs and/or other regulatory reasons, without notice to the Customer.

4. Charges and Fees

4.1 Our Consignment charges shall be calculated according to the higher of actual or volumetric weight per item and any item may be re-weighed and re-measured by Us to confirm the calculation.

4.2 All fees and/or charges, as stated in the Order Schedule or in relation to the Specific Terms, shall be exclusive of VAT and/or any other applicable duties in respect of the Consignment that may be payable.  To the extent that any such VAT and/or duties are payable, You must pay to Us the amount of such VAT and/or duties in addition to any amounts owed under these Terms and/or the Specific Terms.

4.9.1 FOR OUR BUSINESS ACCOUNT HOLDERS:

If you are a business account holder then:

We shall issue You with an invoice which shall be due and payable within 7 days of the invoice being issued.  These business account holder invoices shall be issued monthly in arrears;

In the event a business account holder should fail to make a payment on an invoice which is due, We reserve the right to charge interest on such overdue amount at the rate of 8% per annum above the current Bank of England’s base lending rate, from time to time, which shall accrue on a daily basis as from the due date, compounding quarterly;

A business account holder shall pay all such amounts due in full without any deductions or withholding, except as required by law.  Furthermore, the business account holder shall not be entitled to assert any set-off, counterclaim or credit against Us as a justification for withholding any payments in whole or in part.

4.9.2 FOR OUR NON-BUSINESS ACCOUNT HOLDERS

If you are a non-business account holder then:

You shall be required to make payment of all and any charges and amounts due in respect of the Services in accordance with the payment terms as set out in the Service Order;

If, through the provision of Services We are required to deliver a Consignment on a bank or public holiday, We reserve the right to make a reasonable additional charge for any additional costs incurred by Us as a result;

All charges and amounts stated, either in an invoice or Service Order, shall be exclusive of any VAT.  VAT and/or any other additional taxes and/or duties shall be added to the total amount which shall be payable by You.

5. Handling Consignments

5.1 Loading and Unloading

Any collections or deliveries of a Consignment from or to Your premises, We shall be under no obligation to provide equipment and/or additional labour in order to load or unload a Consignment.  Such loading or unloading shall be Your obligation to arrange and carry out.

Any Consignment, or part Consignment that does require special equipment for loading or unloading shall be accepted by Us for transportation on condition that the Customer shall provide such special equipment at the premises where the Consignment is to be collected from (“Collection Point”) and delivered to (“Delivery Point”).  In the event that such special equipment is not available at the Collection or Delivery Point, We agree to load/unload the Consignment on the understanding that We shall bear no liability of any kind to You for any damages and/or losses resulting from such loading/unloading, whether by Our negligence or not. You agree to indemnify Us and hold Us harmless against any claim or demand arising from any person as a result of Us agreeing to load/unload.

5.2 Collection and Delivery

We shall make one delivery attempt of the Consignment.  If We are not able to obtain an acknowledgement of delivery on such first attempt at the Delivery Point, You hereby authorise Us to attempt to deliver the Consignment to, or obtain a delivery receipt from an alternative address in the vicinity of the Delivery Point.  If such delivery is successful, We will leave details at the Delivery Point of the address to which the Consignment was delivered. If We’re not able to deliver the Consignment, either to the Delivery Point or a nearby address, the Consignment shall be returned to our premises and You shall be required to contact Us to arrange for alternative delivery arrangements within 7 days failing which We will return the Consignment to You at Your cost.

5.3 International Carriage

Should the Delivery or Collection Point be a country outside of the United Kingdom, Our liability shall be governed by the relevant provisions of the Convention on the Contract for International Carriage of Goods by Road as will more fully appear in the Schedule to the Carriage of Goods by Road Act 1965, as amended (the “CMR Regulations”) and these provisions shall, hereby, be deemed to be incorporated into these Terms.  In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the provisions contained in the CMR Regulations, the provisions of the CMR Regulations shall prevail. You may request a copy of these CMR Regulations, however, You will be deemed to have read, understood and agreed to them and their incorporation into these Terms.

Should any transportation of the Consignment take place by air travel which involves stopping in a country other than the country of departure, then the Montreal Convention, as amended, shall be applicable to such part of the transportation that takes place by air travel.  Our maximum liability, in this instance, in respect of any loss or damage to the Consignment during such air travel shall be limited to £1,870 per tonne of the gross weight, including packaging, as set out in the Montreal Convention.

Global Corporate Logistics is not responsible for any import taxes and duties, local customs charges, duties or similar charges which may be incurred through our carriage and/or delivery of any Consignment.  You are required to satisfy Yourself as to which additional charges and/or duties may be due on Your Consignment before placing the order with Us. If We are required to pay any such additional charges and/or duties on Your behalf, You agree to reimburse Us fully within 7 days of Our request for payment.

5.4 Subcontractors

You acknowledge and agree that We may be required to subcontract parts of Our Services in order to provide the best services for our Customers.  By making use of Our services, You agree that both the subcontractor and We shall be entitled to the protection as set out in these Terms which exclude or limit liability for any losses or damage.

5.5 Schedule for Completion

Any period or date for the delivery of the Consignment, as stated by Global Corporate Logistics, is intended as an estimate only and is not a contractual commitment.  Global Corporate Logistics will use all its commercially reasonable endeavours to meet any estimated dates for the delivery of Consignments.  Global Corporate Logistics may extend those times to the extent deemed reasonable to do so having regard to:

(a) the protection of personal safety or property;

(b) Your breach of contract, or negligence or other default, including any failure to provide information, payment or resources required for Global Corporate Logistics to provide the Services; or

(c) the occurrence of any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Global Corporate Logistics.

Unless special arrangements have been made between You and Us, in writing, Global Corporate Logistics accepts no responsibility for the departure or arrival dates of any Consignments.

6. Mutual Responsibilities

6.1 Global Corporate Logistics Warranties

provide the Services with reasonable skill and care and to the best of Our ability, employing Our particular knowledge, experience and technical know-how;

comply with all reasonable requests from time to time given to Us by You to manage the relationship;  and

comply with and behave in accordance with business ethics and all applicable laws.

6.2 Our Obligations

Global Corporate Logistics shall carry out the services with such effort as would be made by a reasonable entity of the same kind in the same circumstances in return for the payment of all fees and charges by You of the amounts set out and due as per the Service Order and in accordance with these Terms.

As Global Corporate Logistics, We shall have the right to make changes to the service/s We supply and the way in which We supply them when necessary to comply with all applicable laws or safety requirements or which do not materially affect the quality of the services We provide.

6.3 Your Obligations

Abide by these Terms and the Specific Terms;

Obtain, procure and give any consents, permissions, access, facilities, information, cooperation, permits, authorities, notices and licences (whether or not required by law) which are reasonably needed to enable Global Corporate Logistics to provide the Services;

Provide Global Corporate Logistics with all the required information, materials and/or resources, or otherwise, as may be reasonably required to provide the Services and ensure that the information that You provide to Us on the Order Schedule is accurate and complete and that You co-operate with Us fully in relation to Our provision of the Services, as applicable;

You shall provide to Us all required and reasonable access to the Collection Point and You shall be required to ensure that the Collection Point is free of any and all hazards, including materials, that do not pose a health risk to Us;

You agree and confirm that You will not cause Us to be carrying anything that is illegal or unlawful (either within the country of Collection, within the UK, and/or within the country in which the Consignment is to be delivered).  In the event that You do cause Us to be carrying anything that is illegal or unlawful (either within the country of Collection, within the UK, and/or within the country in which the Consignment is to be delivered), You hereby indemnify Us from any and all losses and/or damages that We may suffer as a consequence.

We reserve the right to refuse to deliver, collect and/or transport any Consignment.  This shall include parcels which are neither Your property nor sent on Your behalf.

Warrant that any information or material provided to Global Corporate Logistics to enable Us to provide the Services will not breach or infringe any laws or persons’ rights.

7. Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnity

7.1 Nothing in these Terms shall limit and/or exclude Our liability for:

a) death or personal injury caused by or resulting from Our negligence;

b) any fraud and/or fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.2 Subject to the Specific Terms, any term, condition or warranty in respect of the quality, fitness for purpose, condition, description, or performance of the Services, whether implied by statute, common law, trade usage, custom or otherwise, is hereby expressly excluded.

7.3 Resupply of the Services is the absolute limit of Global Corporate Logistics’ liability howsoever arising under or in connection with the description, quality, condition, performance, or fitness for purpose of the Services or alternatively the collection, delivery, transportation or storage of a Consignment or Services by Us or any third party.

7.4 Global Corporate Logistics is not liable for any program or data loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with the provision of the Services.

7.5 It is possible that damage to a Consignment may occur as a result of Our handling of it.  If such is the case, our liability shall be limited as set out in these Terms or insofar as such is permissible in law.  We limit Our liability in this way because:

a) The value of a Consignment and the amount of any potential loss to You if a Consignment is damaged or lost is not easily ascertainable and, in many cases, it cannot be known to Us;

b) The potential amount of loss that might be caused or alleged to be caused to You is likely to be disproportionate to the sum that We could reasonably be expected to charge You for providing the Service(s) under these Terms;

c) We are not able to obtain insurance coverage that provides for unlimited compensation for Our full potential liability to all of Our customers.  We recommend that You take out such cover as may be required.

7.6 In terms of these Terms, damages suffered by You (including any loss of, or damage to, a Consignment, however arising, shall be deemed to be damages as long as it was caused by Our negligence, breach of duty and/or other wrongful act or omission, and any breach of any of these Terms, or any terms which may be implied by statute, as applicable.

7.7 We undertake to investigate all such claims for damages in a fair, fast and efficient manner.

7.8 Global Corporate Logistics is not liable for any indirect or consequential losses or expenses suffered by You or any third party, howsoever caused, including but not limited to loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill or any liability to any other party.

7.9 Global Corporate Logistics will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by You or any person claiming through You where Global Corporate Logistics has failed to meet any delivery date or cancels or suspends the supply of Services.

7.10 Nothing in these Terms, including the Specific Terms, is to be interpreted as excluding, restricting or modifying or having the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying the application of any legislation applicable to the supply of Services which cannot be legally excluded, restricted or modified.

7.11 Global Corporate Logistics does NOT warrant that any particular results will be achieved through the Services provided. Where Global Corporate Logistics indicates specific targets that it will attempt to meet through the provision of the Services, such targets are not warranted and a failure to meet such targets will not be a breach of these Terms or the Specific Terms.

7.12 Unless expressly provided for in these Terms and/or the Specific Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries under these Terms and/or the Specific Terms.

7.13 For the purposes of these Terms, We may assume that any item contained within a Consignment belongs solely to You.  If another person should make a claim (including legal costs and/or expenses) against Us for loss or damage to any item beyond Our liability to You, You hereby agree to indemnify Us against any and all such losses and/or liabilities  and You further agree that We shall have no liability to You in these circumstances, regardless of whether or not such claim exceeds any limitations of liability as set out in these Terms.

7.14 You shall indemnify us against any losses and/or liabilities that We may suffer as a result of loss or inability to complete delivery of a Consignment due to ambiguous or faulty labelling of such Consignment.

7.15 You agree to indemnify Us for any losses or liabilities that We may suffer as a result of You breaching any of Your obligations under these Terms, the Terms of the Service Order and order the provisions of the Privacy Policy.

7.16 Limitation on the Amount of Our Liability.  In the event that We are liable to You, We shall only be liable to You up to the following amounts and only under the following circumstances:

a) should We lose or damage all of a Consignment, Our total liability will be £50.00 unless this amount is greater than the actual value of the Consignment then We shall be liable to you for the full value of the Consignment when lesser than £50.

b) should We lose or damage part of a Consignment, the value of the Consignment, as calculated in 7.16 (a) above, shall be pro-rated to represent the proportion of actual loss to determine actual value.  Our total liability will be £50.00 unless this amount is greater than the actual part value of the Consignment.

c) should We cause You loss or damage some other way, Our total liability shall be £50.00.

7.17 Should you not deem the provision of Our liability sufficient to cover the value of the Consignment, You must secure additional insurance separately from a reputable insurer to cover any potential loss.  If You do not do this, We will not be liable to You for more than has been stated in clause 7.16 of these Terms.

7.18 Global Corporate Logistics shall not be liable to You for loss or damage arising directly or indirectly as a result of Excepted Risks.

8. Claims

8.1 The Customer shall be required to submit all claims to Global Corporate Logistics, in writing, within 30 days of Us accepting Your Consignment, failing which Global Corporate Logistics shall have no further liability to You whatsoever.

8.2 All claims are limited to one claim per Consignment, and the settlement shall be the full and final settlement for all loss or damage in connection with such Consignment.
