DECLARED VALUE AND
LIMITS OF LIABILITY
Unless otherwise
specified herein, liability on all domestic shipments shall be limited to the
higher of $50.00 per shipment or $0.50 per pound of cargo lost or damaged plus
transportation charges applicable to that part of the shipment lost or damaged,
unless at the time of tender, the Shipper declares a higher value and signs in
the space designated on the Waybill. Liability shall in no event exceed the
Declared Value of the shipment plus applicable freight charges, or the actual
amount of loss or damage, whichever is lower.
Unless otherwise
specified herein, liability for international shipments being transported as
part of a continuous movement and moving on a lane segment specified on the
MAWB shall be limited to $9.07 per pound of cargo lost or damaged plus transportation
charges applicable to that part of the shipment lost or damaged, unless a
higher value is declared at the time of tender. Liability shall in no event
exceed the Declared Value of the shipment plus applicable freight charges or
the amount of loss or damage, whichever is lower.
When the Shipper
declares a value that exceeds $0.50 (fifty cents) per pound or $50.00,
whichever is greater, an additional charge of $0.60 (sixty cents) for each
$100.00 or fraction thereof will be charged subject to a minimum charge of
$2.00 per Waybill. When a Shipper declares $9.07 per pound or $20.00 per
kilogram for an international shipment, a valuation charge of $0.80 (eighty
cents) for each $100.00, or fraction thereof, subject to a minimum charge of
$2.50 per shipment, will be assessed.
In the absence of
special arrangements, neither Freightways nor the carrier(s) retained by it
shall be liable for damages in excess of $50,000.00 per shipment, regardless of
the value declared.
The Shipper may make
special arrangements for liability coverage greater than $50,000.00 by calling Freightways
at 1-800-778-5678 and requesting the increased limit. If the Shipper executes a
release rate in excess of $50.000.00 per shipment without having made special
arrangements and obtaining special rate approval, and the shipment is
inadvertently accepted by Freightways, it shall be considered released at
$50,000.00 per shipment and will move subject to such limitations, applicable
rates, and insurance charges.
The Shipper understands
and agrees that the rates do not include insurance or other compensation for
loss, other than as expressly provided herein and limited hereby. Accordingly,
the Shipper agrees that in the event it desires coverage for loss, it will
obtain insurance, and that said insurance will contain a waiver of subrogation
clause waiving any subrogation rights (or and on behalf of such insurance
carrier. In the event that the Shipper fails to obtain a waiver of subrogation,
the Shipper will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Freightways and any
carrier(s) retained by it with respect to claims made by the Shipper or third
parties acting as subrogees of the Shipper.
Shipper and Consignee
shall be jointly and severally liable to pay or indemnify Freightways for all
costs, including, but not limited to, claims, fines, penalties, and attorneys
fees incurred by Freightways by reason of any violation of these Service
Conditions.
