Excluded Goods

Excluded Goods means goods which may be carried by the Carrier which shall include, without limitation, precious stones, precious metals, watches, jewellery, glass, furs, china, art, antiques, prescription drugs, fragile and perishable goods, money, vouchers, travellers cheques, bearer bonds, bills of exchange, promissory notes, stamps, photographs, documents of title to property, bank, credit, pre-pay or other store cards with a cash equivalent value, spirits, tobacco and cigarettes and any other goods which the Carrier may at its sole discretion deem to be valuable, fragile, or perishable..

If the proposed Consignment contains Excluded Goods, the Customer must notify the Carrier at the time of Booking as to the content and value of such Consignment of Excluded Goods and the Carrier may (in its sole discretion) elect to carry such Excluded Goods. The Carrier shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss, however caused, unless the Carrier has agreed in writing to the Customer to accept such liability. The Carrier reserves the right to charge the Customer (and the Customer shall pay) an additional sum for the carriage of the Consignment of Excluded Goods and will inform the Customer of such sum prior to accepting the Booking. If the Customer fails to so inform the Carrier in accordance with this clause, such Consignment will be delivered solely at the Customer's risk and the Customer shall indemnify and keep the Carrier indemnified against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Carrier arising out of, or in connection with, the delivery of the Consignment comprising such Excluded Goods in whole or in part.

 

Dangerous Goods

All Dangerous Goods must be disclosed by the Customer in advance and unless otherwise agreed, the Carrier will not accept or carry Dangerous Goods. Where the Carrier accepts Dangerous Goods for carriage they must be classified, packed and labelled in accordance with any applicable statutory regulation for the carriage of such Dangerous Goods and with any specific instructions of the Carrier which shall be set out in a separate written agreement entered into between the Carrier and the Customer. The Customer shall further provide such information, document or declaration as may be necessary to enable the carriage of such Dangerous Goods by the Carrier under that separate written agreement.

 

Prohibited Items

Unless the Carrier has agreed otherwise in advance in writing specifying any additional terms, charges and limitations on liability which shall apply, the Customer shall not submit for carriage (and the Carrier may without any liability whatsoever reject such carriage at any time upon notice to the Customer) any Consignment which contains firearms, munitions, inflammable items or other explosives, livestock or other animals, human remains, any obscene, defamatory, blasphemous, scandalous or other indecent material, or any item (including, without limitation, drugs or other illegal substances) which is prohibited or illegal to possess or import into any country through or into which the carriage of the Consignment is to take place (the “Prohibited Items”). If the Customer submits Prohibited Items as a Consignment (and regardless of whether or not the Carrier has agreed to carry such Consignment), the Customer shall indemnify and keep the Carrier indemnified against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Carrier arising out of, or in connection with, the carriage of the Consignment comprising such Prohibited Items in whole or in part.

 

Consequential Loss

The Carrier shall not be liable to the Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or by statute, or otherwise in respect of any loss of profits or revenue (whether direct or indirect) and/or for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage suffered by the Customer howsoever caused including, without limitation:

1. loss due to delay in delivery; and/or

2. loss of anticipated savings; and/or

3. loss of business and/or goods; and/or

4. loss of goodwill; and/or

6. loss of data or other information in transit; and/or

7. loss relating to the procurement by the Customer of any substitution of goods or services

In all cases consignment packaging suitable for the chosen method of transport is the sender’s responsibility. The carrier will not accept damage liability for consignments that are insufficiently packaged.

 

Time Limits for Claims

The Carrier shall not be liable for loss of, misdelivery or damage to any Consignment unless it is notified by the Customer of such loss or damage immediately on becoming aware and in any event within seven days of the end of the transit.

A written claim giving details of the value and the circumstances of any loss must be made in writing within 14 days after the end of transit. A claim for loss or damage will not be accepted on the consignment note.
