Shipping's Terms and Conditions
IV. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SHIPPING
The enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Customer”) agrees to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS which no agent or employee of the parties may alter. These TERMS AND CONDITIONS shall apply to this and all future shipments scheduled by Customer, unless and until these TERMS AND CONDITIONS are altered or amended by Safariis Shipping (hereinafter referred to as “Broker”) issuance of new TERMS AND CONDITIONS which can be found at www.safariis.com.
Safariis.com Shipping is a platform set up to facilitate shipping agreements between independent shippers (Providers) and our customers (Safariis.com users with valid accounts on safariis.com).
1. SHIPPING PROVIDER (THE BROKER)
The Broker is a freight broker and NOT a freight carrier. Safariis Shipping Provider(The Broker) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse any shipment at any time. Safariis Shipping providers are given the ability to register Shipping Provider accounts on Safariis.com, and use that account to create routes for conveying shipping containers, boxes, drums, craters, vehicles, bikes, planes, and any items deemed legal from an origination point to a destination point. Anyone having the means of transportation can act as Safariis Shipping Provider, receive packages from Safariis customer and deliver them at the intended destination, providing they have successfully undergone a very rigorous vetting process to determine their suitability for public trust.
1.1. ROUTE
A Route is an origination and destination points that the Shipping Provider has established at Safariis Shipping to move customer’s load(s). An example of a route is Baltimore, USA to Marseille, France, or Baltimore USA to Gaithersburg USA. These locations can be within a country or across countries or continents.
1.2. POINT OF CONTACT
A Point of Contact is the identified individual retained to receive the goods at
destination. It is the responsibility of the customer to designate the Point of Contact at the point of destination, and store the associated identification information at the site.
1.3. VERIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION OF REGISTERED SHIPPING PROVIDERS
A Safariis Shipping provider is verified, accredited, and validated using both automated and manual processes for identification and verification of good standing in society. Because of this, a certain category of people not appropriate to provide this service will not be allowed to do so. We may cancel any Provider account at anytime should we later discover the holder of the account no longer meet the criteria for providing such a service to our customers.
1.4. ROUTE CLOSURES
In war zones, or any other places that Safariis determined to be unsafe, those routes may be closed without notice. In those circumstances, all efforts will be made to deliver those items in the queue to the best of ability. But in cases where it is unsafe, we reserve the right to demand the Shipping Provider hold onto the item(s) until the route is safe again to resume delivery. Safariis will not be held responsible or liable as a result of any negative impact suffered in connection with this delay or cancelation.
1.5. INSURANCE FOR SHIPPING PROVIDER
A liability insurance is required for all registered Shipping providers on Safariis.com up to at least the amount of the value of the total items in all the provider’s route(s) or shipping queue at any given time.
ITEMS NOT COVERED
Dangerous items such as firearms, chemical, explosives or any item that may be classified as dangerous, unsafe are not covered at this time. In addition, pets and people cannot be transported at this time using Safariis shipping.
2. SHIPPING USER
A Safariis Shipping User is anyone duly registered at Safariis.com with a valid user account.
2.1.ITEM(S) CONFIRMATION
When checking out a container, a partition or a box included in the Shipping area at Safariis.com, there is an automated process that forces the user to confirm the content of these for insurance purposes. The user is responsible for identifying the content of all shipping, and must confirm the included items in the container/partition/boxes before it can be received or picked up by the Shipper. In all shipping transactions, this confirmation process cannot be discarded. Once you’ve confirmed you can no longer alter the list of items. Our system won’t allow you to. You will have to add any remaining items that you wish to ship in another order before it can be accepted by our shipping providers.
2.2. INSURANCE FOR CUSTOMERS
During item(s) confirmation, the customer is given the ability to purchase insurance to cover the selected item. If the customer declines, or do not select to purchase insurance to cover an item, that item is not covered. The insurance is underwritten by RAMON Insurance under policy # QM363300. Our site provide the means to the customer to initiate the certificate generation themselves, which is automated.
3. SHIPPING ROUTES DELAY OR CANCELATION
The date/time of routes, for both origination and destination points may change without notice. The customer must at all times stay in contact with his/her provider, using Safariis Chat, to receive the latest information pertaining to the status of the goods being shipped. Safariis will not be held liable as a result of any impact suffered in connection with an item not picked or delivered on time.
The General Rules Tariffs, as set forth by the carriers, will in every instance take precedence in all legal proceedings and when applicable, will take precedence over the Broker’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS stated herein. If not stated within the carrier’s General Rules Tariff, the Broker’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS as stated herein shall control. In the case of conflict between the TERMS AND CONDITIONS contained herein and those set forth by the individual selected carrier’s General Rules Tariff, the selected carrier’s General Rules Tariff shall control. All Terms, including, but not limited to, all the limitations of liability shall apply to the selected carrier and their agents and contracted carriers.
3.1 BILLS OF LADING
All Bills of Lading are NON-NEGOTIABLE and have been prepared by the enrolled Customer or by Broker as Customer’s agent on behalf of the Customer and shall be deemed, conclusively, to have been prepared by the Customer and to bind the Customer. The Items Confirmation process at the portal can be deemed as a bill of lading since it comports the totality of the items in the container/partition/box, providing the customer used it to capture the required information. Once confirmed, the container/partition/box cannot be edited or altered. Any unauthorized alteration or use of Bills of Lading or tendering of shipments to any carrier other than that designated by the Broker, or the use of any Bill of Lading not authorized or issued by the Broker shall VOID the Broker’s obligations to make any payments relating to this shipment and VOID all rate quotes.
3.2. AGREEMENT TO TERMS
Customer agrees that international and domestic carriage by a Carrier of any shipment tendered using Safariis Shipping shall be in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitation of liability set on the non-negotiable BOL, Air Waybill, Label, Manifest, or Pick-up record (collectively “shipping documentation”) and as appropriate any transportation agreement between customer and Broker and/or Carrier covering such shipment and in any applicable Tariff, Service Guide, or Standard Conditions of Carriage, which are incorporated into this agreement by reference. If there is a conflict between the shipping documentation and any such document then in effect or this agreement, the transportation agreement, Tariff Service Guide, Standard Conditions of Carriage, or this agreement will control in this order of priority.
If a shipment originated outside U.S., the contract of carriage is with the Broker’s subsidiary, branch, or independent contractor who originally accepts the shipment. Your use of this web site shall not alter your responsibility for the preparation and accuracy of shipping documentation including export/import.
3.3. PRINTED SIGNATURE
You acknowledge that if you process shipments to locations outside the country where your shipment originates, you must enter, to print in lieu of a manual signature on the Air Waybill, the name of the person completing the Air Waybill for all such shipments tendered using Safariis Shipping. You further acknowledge that such printed name shall be sufficient to constitute signature of the Air Waybill on your behalf for the purpose of the Warsaw Convention and for all other purposes, and your acceptance of the Carrier’s terms and conditions of carriage contained in the applicable Carrier’s Service Guide, Standard Conditions, Tariff Air Waybill or transportation agreement under which the shipment is accepted by the Carrier, Broker, or its independent contractor.
3.4. CUSTOMER WARRANTIES
The Customer is responsible for and warrants their compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations including but not limited to customs laws, import and export laws and governmental regulation of any country to, from, through or over which the shipment may be carried. The Customer agrees to furnish such information and complete and attach to this Bill of Lading such documents as are necessary to comply with such laws, rules and regulations. The Broker assumes no liability to the Customer or to any other person for any loss or expense due to the failure of the Customer to comply with this provision. Any individual or entity acting on behalf of the Customer in scheduling shipments hereunder warrants that it has the right to act on behalf of the Customer and the right to legally bind Customer.
3.5. NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION
The Customer is required to use the Broker’s system generated Bill of Lading. If the Customer does not complete all the documents required for carriage, or if the documents which they submit are not appropriate for the services, pick up or destination requested, the Customer hereby instructs the Broker, where permitted by law, to complete, correct or replace the documents for them at the expense of the Customer. However, the Broker is not obligated to do so. If a substitute form of Bill of Lading is needed to complete delivery of this shipment and the Broker completes that document, the terms of this Bill of Lading will govern. The Broker is not liable to the Customer or to any other person for any actions taken on behalf of the Customer under this provision.
3.6. PAYMENT
All charges are payable in US Dollars and are due at the time of checkout of the container/partition/boxes. All shippers, consignors, consignees, freight forwarders or freight brokers are jointly and severally liable for the freight charges relating to this shipment. These charges and adjustments, if any, will be automatically debited to the Customer’s credit card or bank account on file.
The Customer shall be liable, jointly and severally, for all charges payable on account of such Customer’s shipment, including but not limited to transportation, fuel and other applicable accessorial charges, including all adjustments issued by the carrier(s) after the shipment, and all duties, customs assessments, governmental penalties and fines, taxes, and Broker’s attorney fees and legal costs allocable to this shipment and/or all disputes related thereto. The Broker shall have a lien on the shipment for all sums due it relating to this shipment or any other amounts owed by Customer. The Broker 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 provided at the time of the original quote or if additional services by the carrier were required or otherwise authorized by the Customer to perform the pick up, transportation and delivery functions therein.
3.7. CLAIMS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
The individual carrier’s governing General Rules Tariff determines the standard liability cargo insurance coverage offered by all carriers. 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 filing of a claim does not relieve the responsible party for payment of freight charges. Freight payment is necessary in order for a carrier to process a claim. All freight cargo claims should be submitted immediately to the Broker to help ensure timely resolution. The Broker will attempt to assist in the resolution of freight claims, but has no responsibility or liability therefore. No claim will be reviewed until all shipping and related charges have been paid to Broker. All packaging and containers must be made available for inspection by Broker. Insurance claim payments, minus $100.00 USD deductible, will be made in U.S. dollars. Please contact the Broker for more details regarding carrier insurance or carrier liability.
Where Broker files damage claim with carrier on behalf of Customer and receives recovery funds, The Broker has a lien on such recovery amounts and reserves the right to apply recovery amounts to open past due invoices on account. This includes recovery amounts received from carrier for freight charges and/or product damage claim amounts.
The Broker is not liable for any loss, damage, mis-delivery or non-delivery caused by the act, default or omission of the Carrier. The Broker is not liable for any loss, mis-delivery or non-delivery caused by the act, default or omission of the Customer or any other party who claims an interest in the shipment, or caused by the nature of the shipment or any defect thereof. The Broker is not liable for losses, mis-delivery or non-delivery caused by violation(s) by the Customer of any of the TERMS AND CONDITIONS contained in the Bill of Lading or of the carrier’s General Rules Tariff including, but not limited to, improper or insufficient packing, securing, marking or addressing, or of failure to observe any of the rules relating to shipments not acceptable for transportation or shipments acceptable only under certain conditions. The Broker is not liable for losses, mis-delivery or non-delivery caused by the acts of God, perils of the air, public enemies, public authorities, acts or omissions of Customs or quarantine officials, war, riots, strikes, labor disputes, weather conditions or mechanical delay or failure of aircraft or other equipment. The Broker is not liable for failure to comply with delivery or other instructions from the Customer or for the acts or omissions of any person other than employees of the Broker.
Subject to the limitations of liability contained in the Bill of Lading and the carrier’s General Rules Tariff, the Broker shall only be liable for loss, damage, mis-delivery or non-delivery caused by the Broker’s own gross negligence. The Broker’s liability therefore shall be limited to the fees that the Broker has earned with respect to the subject shipment.
