- Payment Guarantee: Global Corporate Logistics Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) enters into business transactions with company clients on the condition that the client unequivocally guarantees the payment of all fees, costs, disbursements, or any itemised charges as detailed in our invoices. It is expressly understood that in the event the Company is unable to collect these fees from the business or entity, the Company Director or Principal of the business will be personally liable to settle any outstanding balances or invoices upon demand.
1.1 Liability Disclaimer: The Company assumes no liability or responsibility for the discharge of any charges related to the clearance and delivery of customer shipments, cargo, or consignments. These charges encompass but are not limited to shipping costs, customs clearance charges, VAT, duty, demurrage charges, quay costs, and similar expenses.
1.2 Third-Party Involvement: In certain instances, the clearance process may necessitate the intervention of entities such as the Port Authority, Trading Standards, or other agencies to examine or investigate imported goods or related documentation. Any additional costs or charges arising from such unforeseen circumstances will be the sole responsibility of the customer, and the Company accepts no liability for delays or extra expenses incurred.
- Lien and Charges: The Company retains the right to impose a lien on any cargo or goods it clears on behalf of any Company, business entity, or private client.
