1. Definitions and Scope

All Shipments (defined below) to or from the signatory to this Agreement (the “Customer”) shall be handled by LCX Group, BlueX, LCX Freight, LCX Fresh, and their affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).

The term “Customer” includes the exporter, importer, sender, receiver, owner, consignor, consignee, transferor, or transferee of the Shipment(s).

The term “Shipment” includes, without limitation, receipt, warehousing, distribution, customs clearance, trucking, forwarding, carriage, air transport, ocean transport, and all related services provided by the Company.

 

2. Services by Third Parties

Unless the Company physically handles the Goods, it shall not be liable for any loss, damage, expense, or delay.

In addition, the Company uses reasonable care when selecting carriers, agents, warehousemen, and service providers. However, these third parties act as independent contractors of the Customer.

 

3. Liability of Third Parties

The Company may engage carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, and other providers as needed.

Accordingly, the Customer agrees that the Company shall not be liable for any loss or delay when the Goods are under the control of such third parties, provided that reasonable care was used in their selection.

 

4. Routing and Selection of Services

Unless written instructions are provided, the Company has full discretion in selecting routes, carriers, and procedures.

Furthermore, notification of a selected provider does not constitute a guarantee of performance.

 

5. Quotations

All quotations are provided for informational purposes only. Therefore, they are subject to change and are not binding unless confirmed in writing by the Company.

 

Customer Responsibilities

6. Duty to Furnish Information

The Customer must provide accurate and complete documentation required for customs and regulatory compliance.

Failure to provide timely or accurate information may result in delays, penalties, or additional costs. The Company shall not be responsible for such consequences.

Additionally, the Customer appoints the Company as attorney-in-fact for customs-related documentation where required.

Furthermore, the Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information.

 

7. Declaring Higher Valuation

Carriers and service providers may limit liability unless a higher value is declared.

However, the Company is not responsible for obtaining increased liability coverage unless specifically instructed in writing and accepted by the service provider.
