Upon credit approval, all charges are payable in US Dollars and are due upon receipt or upon agreed payment terms. Any payment which is past due shall be subject to an additional charge at the rate of 10% per annum, calculated on a monthly basis, of the average outstanding balance due, or the highest rate of interest permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.

The Company reserves the right to amend or adjust the original quoted amount or re-invoice the Customer if the original quoted amount was based upon incorrect information received at the time of the original quote, if additional services by the carrier were required, or as otherwise necessary to perform the pickup, transportation and delivery functions therein. When paying by credit card or electronic funds, the Customer agrees they will be responsible for all charges payable, including any adjustments, on account of such Customer’s shipment. Customer is permitted thirty (30) business days from the date of the invoice to dispute any invoiced charges.

The Company may assist in the claim filing process. If the Company is involved, they will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Customer to investigate and process with the carrier any freight loss or damage claims occurring in the course of the transportation services rendered to such Customer. The carrier liability and claims process for any cargo damage, loss, or theft from any cause shall be determined under the Carmack Amendment, 49 U.S.C. 14706 and 49 C.F.R. §370.1 et seq. respectively. Customer agrees the Company, as a broker only, is not liable for any damages, except as stated hereafter. To the extent Company is found negligent, Company’s liability is limited to no greater than a refund of the total freight charge payment related to the specific Bill of Lading in question.
The individual carrier's governing General Rules Tariff will apply when determining carrier liability. Those Tariffs can be viewed at the Company's corporate offices. If the shipment contains freight with a predetermined exception value, as determined by the selected carrier, the maximum exception liability will override the otherwise standard liability coverage. The maximum amount that Customer will receive from carrier on a claim will be that which is recoverable under the respective transportation tariffs. It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure the liability limits of the carrier meet their shipment needs. The Company will not be responsible in any way for claims arising out of Customer negligence, carrier's negligence, or the negligence of any third party.
All claims and supporting documentation must be submitted within 30 days after delivery. Claims for damages that are not readily apparent or noted upon delivery ("concealed damage") must be submitted within 3 days after delivery. Customer is responsible to ensure freight is inspected upon delivery and damage noted accordingly. Claims for damages not noted upon delivery may not be honored. Company shall not be liable for any actions brought to enforce a claim unless all claims procedures have been complied with and the action is brought within one year after the date the carrier first disallowed all or part of the claim. The filing of a claim does not relieve the responsible party for payment of freight charges. Freight payment is necessary in order to process a claim. Customer may not offset freight or other charges owed to Company against claims for any loss, damage, mis-delivery or non-delivery. The Company has a lien on funds recovered through the processing of damage claims and may withhold and offset amounts recovered through such claim processes and apply toward any open past due invoices on account.
In no case will the maximum cargo liability be greater than $250,000 for a shipment. Cargo liability on shipments in no case will be greater the maximum liability for new goods be greater than $5 per pound. On LTL shipments, the Customer upon request may offer additional cargo coverage at an agreed upon additional charge.
Any claim, dispute or litigation relating to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS, any shipment scheduled or tendered hereunder or through the Company, or relating to any and all disputes between the Company and the enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee and/or Brokers for any enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee, shall be filed in the appropriate court in California and shall be subject to California law. Customer hereby irrevocably consents and submits themselves to the personal jurisdiction of said courts for all such purposes.
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) rates are based on the freight class as determined by the NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) which are based on the actual description, size, and weight of the shipment. Additional fees may apply for other charges including appointment delivery, reweighs and reclassifications, lift gate services, inside delivery or various other accessorial services.
T/L (Truckload) rates are based on dock door pickup/dock door delivery and shipper load/consignee unload and are zip to zip and/or mileage based. Additional fees may apply for charges including but not limited to, tractor detention, trailer detention, and driver assistance. Once the Company has contracted with a Customer to move a truckload shipment, the scheduled load must be tendered to the carrier as requested on the bill of lading at the agreed upon price, or equipment not used (EON) fee will be assessed.
All displayed transit times are estimates only. Pickup and/or delivery dates are not guaranteed.
LTL and T/L services are not guaranteed as to delivery time and date and are inclusive of transit times only as an estimate. Transit times do not include holiday and/or no service days such as weekends. Shipments not delivered within date/time specified on the bill of lading may not be considered a service failure. Additional reasons could impact service and transit time estimates. These reasons could include, but are not limited to, the following conditions: acts of God; the existence of violence, riots, military action or such possible disturbance as creating reasonable apprehension of danger; acts or omissions by shipper, consignee, owner of goods or public authority; delays due to customs clearance or documentation required for movement of shipment; closure of federal, state, city or local roads, streets, or highways resulting in travel delays by carrier; shipments not accepted by the consignee when offered for delivery. The Customer is liable for all charges related to the shipment. In the event of carrier failure to comply with the service requested, the Customer is permitted ten (10) business days from the actual delivery date of shipment to file a claim request in writing with the Company. If the Company does not receive a claim request or receives the request after the allowable ten (10) business days, the service provided by the Company will be deemed to have met all disputed service standards and the claim request will automatically be considered invalid and denied. In the event of carrier failure to comply with the service requested and after the carrier has agreed to liability, the Company will credit the account of the said Customer for freight charges according to the Company’s refund policy only. In no event shall the Company be liable nor will any account be credited if the Customer does not use the Company's bill of lading. To the extent that Company is found negligent, Company's liability is limited to no greater than a refund of the total freight charge payment related to the specific Bill of Lading in question.
Refunds for services rendered may be made in accordance with section 7 above. No refunds will be made for services completed in good faith and in accordance within the normal operations of the Company.
