type of item(s) being shipped (class), weight, size, commercial
or residential pickup or delivery.
Arranging Party (Shipper) is responsible
for correct shipment description & commodity code. Should the
actual shipment's description or services prove to be different
than shown, additional charges may be accessed and charged to
your account. As the shipper, you agree to pay for the actual
weight, actual dimension(s) and actual services provided. For
shipments requiring special services, AFC will offer to arrange
transport by appropriate alternative carrier(s) Charges will be
based on actual services as required with full credit applied.
Shipper may request cancellation at any time up to 30 days after
contract date. If the shipper elects to cancel the service, a
20% cancellation and processing fee will be applied. The
carrier(s) is subject to all state & federal laws & regulations
applicable to the transportation of this shipment and is
therefore exclusively liable for the shipment. The shipper
understands that the American Freight Companies (AFC) is not the
actual carrier and as such, the shipper will not deny AFC
payment for reasons related to disputes with the carrier.
Shipper agrees the laws and regulations of United States of
America and the State of Florida have sole jurisdiction
regarding the execution of this agreement and that the venue for
all legal proceedings concerning this invoice and associated
services shall be in Pinellas County, Florida. Shipments are
covered under the carrier's limited liability coverage, per the
carrier's tariff schedule at $0.10 per pound. Shipper may secure
ancillary liability coverage via third party at
www.freightcenter.com/insurance.
Consignee agrees to inspect the shipment at the time of delivery
& document any damage on the delivery bill. Shipper is
responsible for proper preparation, packing, and addressing of
the shipment. Shipper must provide shipping forms (BOL) at the
point of pickup or a $45.00 reprocessing fee may be accessed. As
the party arranging this shipment you are agreeing to pay for
all services as actually provided.
If you require additional insurance beyond the
limited liability coverage provided by the carrier, we can refer you to a credible
Freight Insurance Company. You may also find that that your business
insurance or your home owners insurance provides coverage during
transportation. In some cases your credit card company may provide
insurance. In either case, you should verify this with your insurance
provider or credit card company.
