General
Terms and Conditions of Carriage
The shipment shall be governed by ICS Courier’s General
Terms and Conditions of Carriage (“General Terms and Conditions”), as
modified by the ICS Courier Ground™ Terms and Conditions, as either may be
amended from time to time upon notice to the Shipper. A copy of the full
General Terms and Conditions and ICS Courier Ground™ Terms and Conditions
may be obtained upon request. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms
have the same meaning ascribed thereto in the General Terms and
Conditions. Without limiting the foregoing, this shipment shall be
governed by the following provisions: ICS COURIER GROUND™ TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
CARRIAGE In addition to the General
Terms and Conditions of Carriage, the following provisions shall govern
courier services provided under ICS Courier Ground™ and shall constitute a
binding agreement between ICS Courier and the Shipper, the Consignee and
any other person who may have an interest in the shipment, and shall
protect any agent with whom ICS Courier may contract to transport or
deliver the shipment. In the event of a conflict between the General Terms
and Conditions of Carriage and those specified herein, those specified
herein shall govern. 1. Any shipment destined to
a private residence, a non-business address, or a business in a commercial
zone outside the defined ICS Points of Service will be handled and
delivered within the normal ICS Courier service parameters.
2. If the Consignee is not
available to receive delivery of the shipment, ICS Courier will leave a
doorknocker at the Consignee’s place of business communicating ICS
Courier’s unsuccessful delivery attempt. The Consignee will then be
required to contact ICS to arrange for another delivery attempt, at which
time an automatic surcharge will be applied to the account or the “Bill
To” account of record. If the second delivery attempt is unsuccessful, the
ICS Courier Ground™ shipment will automatically be returned to the Shipper
at an additional charge. 3. If the Consignee’s
address information is determined to be incorrect or incomplete, ICS
Courier will attempt to secure the correct or missing information,
whereupon the Shipper will be contacted by ICS and may request that either
the shipment be returned to it at no additional cost or that ICS Courier
facilitate a redirect delivery attempt, at which time an automatic
surcharge will be applied to the account of record. If the second delivery
attempt is unsuccessful, the ICS Courier Ground™ shipment will be
automatically returned to the Shipper at an additional charge
4. In the event that the
Shipper has agreed to pay the extended liability coverage of 3% of the
declared value over $100.00, which shall in no circumstances exceed
$1,500.00, should the shipment be lost or damaged, ICS Courier’s total
liability for such loss or damage shall be increased to the declared
value, up to a maximum of $1,500.00. Extended liability coverage shall not
be available for any delay in delivery, nor shall it cover any loss or
damage associated with the shipment of documents, currency, negotiable
instruments or bills of exchange, regardless of the declared value. In no
circumstances shall ICS Courier be liable for any loss, damage or delay in
circumstances where the sections entitled “Exception to Liability” or “At
Shipper’s Risk” of the General Terms and Conditions of Carriage apply.
5. All ICS Courier Ground™
shipments must be accompanied with an ICS Courier Ground™ waybill, or
other ICS Courier approved shipping documents.
6. ICS Courier may amend, replace, add to or otherwise alter (in all cases, an “amendment”) these terms and conditions of carriage, the General Terms and Conditions of Carriage, and the applicable Rate Schedule and Schedule of Additional Charges at any time or from time to time, upon posting notice of such amendment, together with the amended form, on its website which may currently be accessed at www.ics-canada.net. All such amendments shall be effective the latter of 30 days following such posting or such later date as ICS Courier may determine. The Shipper, Consignee and any other person who may have an interest in any shipment shall be bound by the relevant terms and schedules in place at the time that the shipment originates. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to mean that any agent, servant or representative of ICS Courier has the authority to alter, modify or waive any applicable terms or conditions or schedules. |
