TERMS & CARRIAGE
Introduction
These Terms of Carriage ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between [HRL CARGO], hereinafter referred to as the "Carrier," and the party or parties listed as the "Shipper" or "Consignor" on the relevant shipping documentation. These Terms govern the carriage of goods by the Carrier and apply to all shipments handled by the Carrier, whether by land, sea, or air.
• "Carrier" refers to [HRL CARGO], the logistics company with 2 years of experience.
• "Shipper" or "Consignor" refers to the party responsible for delivering the goods to the Carrier for transportation.
• "Consignee" refers to the party to whom the goods are being delivered.
• "Goods" refer to the cargo, products, or materials entrusted to the Carrier for transportation.
The Shipper shall provide accurate and complete information regarding the goods, including their nature, quantity, weight, dimensions, and packaging. The Carrier reserves the right to refuse any goods that do not comply with safety, regulatory, or contractual requirements
Carriage charges shall be determined based on the agreed-upon rates and any applicable surcharges or fees. Payment terms, including due dates, methods of payment, and currency, shall be specified in a separate agreement or invoice.
The Carrier shall exercise reasonable care in handling and transporting the goods. However, the Carrier's liability for loss, damage, or delay of goods shall be limited in accordance with applicable laws and international conventions. It is the Shipper's responsibility to obtain insurance for goods exceeding these limits.
The Carrier shall make reasonable efforts to deliver the goods to the agreed-upon destination in a timely manner. Delays caused by factors beyond the Carrier's control, including but not limited to weather conditions, customs clearance, or strikes, shall not be the responsibility of the Carrier.
Any claims for loss, damage, or delay of goods must be submitted in writing to the Carrier within the timeframes specified by applicable laws and conventions. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the claim.
The Shipper is encouraged to obtain appropriate insurance coverage for their goods during transit, as the Carrier's liability is limited. The Carrier may offer insurance services upon request.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Jurisdiction], and any disputes arising from these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in [Jurisdiction].
The Carrier reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time with prior notice to the Shipper. The Shipper may terminate their agreement with the Carrier in writing, subject to any applicable cancellation fees or charges.
These Terms of Carriage represent the entire agreement between the Carrier and the Shipper and supersede all prior agreements, whether oral or written. By entrusting their goods to the Carrier, the Shipper acknowledges and accepts these Terms. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
By using these Terms as a foundation, you can create a comprehensive and legally sound document for your logistics company. However, it is highly recommended to consult with a legal expert to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations specific to your region and industry.
