This Agreement includes Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, for Colorado users.
  7. Determination of Charges. The Customer shall be liable for all charges payable on account of such Customer's shipment. Such charges may include transportation, fuel and other applicable accessorial charges, any charges made by the carrier(s) after the shipment, and all duties, customs assessments, governmental penalties, fines and taxes. 十大菠菜台子 reserves the right to amend or adjust charges and to re-invoice the Customer in the following events: (i) if the original quoted amount was based upon incorrect information provided by the Customer; or (ii) if additional services by the carrier were required; or (iii) if the Customer authorized the carrier to perform the pick up, transportation and delivery functions other than contemplated by the BOL.

  9. Claims and Limitations of Liability. 十大菠菜台子 is not liable for any loss, damage, misdelivery or non-delivery caused by: (i) the act, default or omission of a carrier, the Customer or any other party who claims interest in the shipment; or (ii) the nature of the shipment or any defect therein; or (iii) a violation by the Customer of any provision of this Agreement, the BOL, the carrier's tariff, including, improper or insufficient packing, securing, marking or addressing; or (iv) failure to observe any of the rules relating to shipments not acceptable for transportation or shipments acceptable only under certain conditions; or (v) acts of God, perils of the air, public enemies, public authorities, acts or omissions of Customs or quarantine officials, war, riots, strikes, labor disputes, shortages, weather conditions or mechanical delay or failure of vehicles, aircraft or other equipment; or (vi) the acts or omissions of any person other than employees of 十大菠菜台子; or (vii) the selection of carrier for a particular shipment. Customer acknowledges that in order to provide competitive rates for the services, that the parties have agreed as a material term of this Agreement that the risk of loss or damage incurred as a result of 十大菠菜台子's alleged liability shall be limited to the fees that 十大菠菜台子 has earned with respect to the subject shipment. Customer specifically acknowledges that 十大菠菜台子 shall have no liability for negligent acts or omissions of its employees except to the extent such actions or omissions constitute gross negligence.
  10. Insurance. The Customer will look solely to its own insurance, a Shipper's policy, or insurance provided by the carrier for damage to goods in transit. Each carrier's governing tariff will determine the cargo liability coverage offered on any shipment. The Customer acknowledges a claim for damages does not relieve it for payment under the terms of this Agreement. Timely payment is a condition precedent to the processing of a damage or insurance claim. All freight cargo claims should be submitted immediately to 十大菠菜台子 for transmission to the Carrier or its insurer. 十大菠菜台子 will attempt to assist in the resolution of freight claims, but has no responsibility or liability therefore. Where a damage claim is submitted with carrier on behalf of Customer, 十大菠菜台子 shall have a lien on any amounts recovered to the extent of open past due invoices on the Customer's account. 十大菠菜台子 has optional Shippers Interest Contingent Cargo Liability Insurance ("Third Party Insurance") available for purchase by the Customer. 十大菠菜台子 has no responsibility or liability with respect to the issuance or denial of Third Party Insurance, or in the payment or denial of claims.
