AirNet Systems, Inc. Terms and
Conditions
Agreement to Terms
In tendering the shipment to AirNet for delivery, Shipper agrees to all the
terms and conditions on this Airbill which no agent or employee of AirNet may
alter. Shipper also agrees to these terms and conditions on behalf of any third
party with an interest in the shipment. This Airbill may be prepared by the
Shipper or by AirNet with the Shipper’s authority and on its behalf.
Services
AirNet will provide transportation services as requested by Shipper and will
arrange for air and surface transportation as required. AirNet reserves the
right to use agents or other third parities to fulfill these services.
Payment for Services
Payment is due net 15 days. Shipper must have established an account with
AirNet prior to pick-up. Shipment fees will be charged based on the greater of
actual weight or dimensional weight (defined as length times width times height
of the outside of the package, divided by 184, i.e., DIM weight). Rates and
quotes provided by AirNet employees and agents are based upon information
provided by Shipper. Final rates may vary based upon actual shipment size,
weight and services rendered. Shipper will always be primarily responsible for
shipping costs, despite any alternate payment instructions, as well as any cost
incurred in either returning the shipment or warehousing it pending
disposition.
Shipment Weight and Inspection.
All shipments tendered to AirNet are subject to reweighing and recalculation of
charges based upon such reweighing. Increments over one pound are rounded to
the next pound. All shipments are subject to inspection by AirNet at its
discretion without notice.
Shipper’s Responsibility
Shipper is responsible for adequately preparing, marking, packing, labeling and
properly describing the contents of the shipment so as to ensure safe
transportation with ordinary handling. Shipper must comply with all applicable
local, state and federal laws, including those governing packing, marking and
labeling for all shipments. Shipper is responsible for any errors in completing
the Airbill that may result in additional billing, including, but not limited
to incorrect addresses, incorrect weight information and incorrect pick-up or
delivery times. If Shipper communicates to AirNet that no delivery signature by
recipient is required, AirNet shall not be responsible for any loss that occurs
after the delivery of the shipment.
Right of Refusal
AirNet reserves the right to refuse or reject any shipment and may do so in its
sole discretion and without liability. AirNet may exercise this right at any
time, and includes situations (among others) when a shipment may cause damage
to or delay other shipments, property or personnel; is likely to sustain damage
or loss in transit due to improper packaging; contains prohibited items; the
account of Shipper is not in good standing; or when acceptance of a shipment
may jeopardize AirNet’s ability to provide service to other customers.
Undeliverable Shipments
AirNet will hold undeliverable shipments and will notify Shipper. If Shipper
cannot be notified, the shipment will be held for 30 days after the attempted
delivery date. After 30 days, the shipment will be disposed of at AirNet’s
discretion. Shipper will be responsible for all transportation, delivery
attempts, storage and disposal charges.
Special Arrangement Required
Shipments weighing in excess of 70 pounds and/or shipments of which the sum of
the greatest outside length plus the greatest outside height plus the greatest
outside width (i.e., DIM weight) exceeds 90 inches may not be acceptable for
shipment. Contact AirNet Customer Support at 888-888-TIME (8463) to make
special arrangements for large shipments
Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods (hereinafter
“HM/DG”, defined domestically under FAA guidelines and defined internationally
under ICAO guidelines) may not be shipped under this Airbill. Although AirNet
is certified to transport certain HM/DG shipments, certain restrictions do
apply. Contact AirNet Customer Support at 888-888-TIME (8463) to make special
arrangements to ship HM/DG.
Limitation on Liability and Liabilities Not Assumed
Unless Shipper declares a higher shipment valuation and pays an additional fee,
AirNet’s liability for any loss, damage or delay to, or involving, a domestic
shipment (which shall include all documents or packages consigned to AirNet
under a single Airbill) is limited to the lesser of $100.00 (U.S) or the actual
value of the shipment. If a shipment involves an ultimate destination or stop
in a country other than the country of departure, the Warsaw Convention, as
amended by the Montreal Protocol No. 4 and the Montreal Convention, may apply
and limit the liability of AirNet for any loss, delay or damage to the
shipment. In the event the Warsaw Convention does not apply to an international
shipment, the limitations set forth above with respect to domestic shipments
shall apply to such international shipment. AirNet reserves the right to use
other aircraft providers and subcontractors in the transportation of Shipper’s
shipment. Any exclusion or limitation of liability applicable to AirNet shall
apply to AirNet’s agents, subcontractors and employees and to any person whose
aircraft or equipment is used in the transportation of the shipment.
AirNet shall not be liable for loss, damage, delay
or other result caused by any circumstances beyond the control of AirNet,
including, but not limited to, weather, governmental action, mechanical delays,
acts of God, strikes or labor disturbances, civil commotion, war, terrorism,
fuel shortages, any act or default of Shipper or consignee, inherent vice or
defect of the shipment, or violation by Shipper or consignee of any of these
Terms and Conditions
AIRNET WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF INCOME, WHETHER OR NOT AIRNET HAD
KNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH DAMAGES MIGHT BE INCURRED.
Declared Value Limits.
Shipper may elect to declare a higher valuation for loss or damage purposes
(other than damage caused by delay) by designating the amount in the Declared
Value space on the face of this Airbill or and paying an additional fee for
each additional $100 of declared value (currently $.55 per $100). Declared
values for items of extraordinary value cannot exceed $500. Items of
extraordinary value include shipments containing such items as artwork,
jewelry, furs, film, precious metals, negotiable instruments or other unique
one of a kind items. For all other shipments, the declared value may not exceed
$10,000. Any declared value in excess of $10,000 must be pre-approved by AirNet
prior to shipment. Arrangements for declaring values in excess of $10,000 can
be made by calling AirNet Customer Support at 888-888-TIME (8463). In the event
Shipper should declare a higher shipment valuation as permitted hereunder,
AirNet’s maximum liability shall be the value so declared or the actual value
of the shipment, whichever is less. Shipper is responsible for proving the
actual loss or damage.
Claims
All Claims for lost or damaged shipments must be made in writing and received
by AirNet at its offices located at 7250 Star Check Drive, Columbus OH 43217
within 15 days after the date of acceptance of the shipment from AirNet. Any
damaged shipment and its original packing material must be made available to
AirNet for inspection at the delivery location shown on the Airbill. AirNet is
not obligated to act on any claim until Shipper has paid all charges related to
such shipment. The amount claimed cannot be deducted from outstanding charges
related to shipments transported under this or any other Airbill. Shipper is
responsible for providing adequate documentation to support the actual or
declared value of the loss.
Choice of Law.
These terms and conditions shall be interpreted and enforced according to the
laws of the State of Ohio or applicable federal law, except to the extent the
Warsaw Convention may apply.
