For orders in the amount of $2,299 or greater, Customer authorizes Safe Car Hauling to process ACH and electronic bank debits.

9. Bills of Lading. All Bills of Lading are NON-NEGOTIABLE. CUSTOMER’s or any other party’s insertion of Safe Car Hauling’s name on the bill of lading shall be for convenience only and shall not change Safe Car Hauling’s status as a property broker. CUSTOMER understands that even when, for CUSTOMER’s convenience, Safe Car Hauling is listed on the bill of lading, Safe Car Hauling is not a motor or other freight carrier and will not perform transportation of freight.

10. Place of Pickup and Delivery. The Carrier shall pick up and deliver the Vehicle as close to Shipper’s/ Consignee’s door as legally and as safely as possible. An alternate place to load or unload may be necessary because of low-hanging trees, low-hanging wires, narrow streets, and residential and city area restrictions.

12. Limitations of Liability and Claims. Safe Car Hauling is a broker only and not a Motor Carrier. Safe Car Hauling has no responsibility to transport and deliver Customer’s freight but is solely responsible for arranging for transportation of Customer’s freight with a motor carrier authorized to transport Customer’s freight by applicable regulatory authorities. Safe Car Hauling has no responsibility, liability, or involvement in the issuance of insurance, the denial of insurance, or the payment of claims. The Customer’s sole remedy for any claims for damage to the cargo is against the Motor Carrier. The Motor Carriers governing Rules Tariff and/or Carrier’s contract with BROKER determines the Carrier’s liability and limitations of liability. CUSTOMER is subject to such provisions of the Carrier’s Rules Tariff and/or contract with Safe Car Hauling. Carrier’s Tariff terms or Insurance information will be provided to the CUSTOMER upon request.

(a) Damage/ Freight Claims. Safe Car Hauling will facilitate and attempt to assist in the resolution of freight claims but has no responsibility or liability related to any claim and any involvement by Safe Car Hauling in facilitating freight claims shall not be deemed as waiving Safe Car Hauling’s absolute defense to freight claims. The Carrier is responsible for adjusting, paying, declining, or otherwise resolving freight claims. All freight claims should be submitted immediately to Safe Car Hauling to help ensure the timely resolution of the claim with the Carrier. If the loss or damage is apparent, the consignee must note such loss or damage information on the bill of lading/delivery receipt. If the loss or damage is not apparent (concealed), the CUSTOMER or Consignee must contact Safe Car Hauling within 24 hours after taking delivery. If CUSTOMER gives Safe Car Hauling notice of Customer’s intention to make a loss or damage claim, Safe Car Hauling, Carrier, and/or Carrier’s insurer shall have the right to inspect the Vehicle at the location where the Vehicle was delivered. The filing of a claim does not relieve the responsible party from payment of freight charges. Freight charge payment is necessary in order for the Carrier to process a claim. CUSTOMER may not offset claims or any other amounts from freight charges owed to Safe Car Hauling or the Carrier. Safe Car Hauling may offset freight or other charges owed by CUSTOMER from claims or other payments made to CUSTOMER by Safe Car Hauling or Carrier. If payment of the claim is made by Safe Car Hauling to CUSTOMER, at Safe Car Hauling’s sole discretion, CUSTOMER automatically assigns its rights and interest in the claim to Safe Car Hauling so as to allow Safe Car Hauling to subrogate its loss. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable statute, the failure to give timely notice of any loss or damage in accordance with this Section 12 (a) or the failure to permit or arrange an inspection as required herein shall constitute an absolute bar to recovery for any claim for loss or damage. Further, it is incumbent upon the claimant and all other interested parties to mitigate the damages to the extent that is reasonably possible under the circumstances.

(b) No Liability for Damage to Vehicle. As a freight broker, Safe Car Hauling has no liability for loss, delay, or damage to the freight. The customer’s sole remedy for loss of, non-delivery, or damage to the Vehicle is against the Carrier. Safe Car Hauling is not liable for any loss, damage, late delivery, non-delivery, or consequential damages caused by the act, default, or omission of (1) the Carrier, (2) the CUSTOMER, or (3) any other party who claims an interest in the shipment, or caused by the nature of the shipment or any defect thereof. Neither Safe Car Hauling nor the Carrier provides compensation for loss of use of the Vehicle nor does Safe Car Hauling/ Carrier provide reimbursement or compensation for rental vehicles as a result of damage to the Vehicle. Further, neither Carrier nor Safe Car Hauling is liable for mechanical failure of the Vehicle or failure of any operating parts of the Vehicle.

(c) No Consequential Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL Safe Car Hauling BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF MARKET, LOSS OF INCOME, DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS, ATTORNEY’S FEES, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WRONG DELIVERY, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, DELAYED DELIVERY OR FAILURE TO ATTEMPT DELIVERY, WHETHER OR NOT Safe Car Hauling HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES MIGHT OCCUR.

(d) Bilateral Contracts. CUSTOMER authorizes Safe Car Hauling to negotiate and enter into contracts with carriers that will perform transportation of CUSTOMER’S freight. Such contracts may include terms that limit the carrier’s liability for loss or damage to CUSTOMER’S freight. CUSTOMER understands and agrees that it will be bound by such limitations of liability.

(e) Insurance. CUSTOMER represents and warrants it has insurance or is self-insured to satisfy any damage or loss of freight involving the brokerage services of Safe Car Hauling. Furthermore, CUSTOMER acknowledges that Safe Car Hauling is not obligated to provide cargo insurance and is not legally liable for any loss, damage, or delay of freight. Safe Car Hauling will provide details regarding the Carrier’s cargo insurance upon request.
