IMPORTANT NOTICE

When ordering Budget Express's services you, as "Shipper", are agreeing, on your behalf and on behalf of anyone else with an interest in the Shipment, that the Terms and Conditions shall apply from the time that Budget Express accepts the Shipment unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorised officer of Budget Express. Your statutory rights and entitlements under any defined service feature (for which additional payment has been made) are not affected.

"Shipment" means all documents or parcels that travel under one waybill and which may be carried by any means Budget Express chooses, including air, road or any other carrier. A "waybill" shall include any label produced by Budget Express automated systems, air waybill, or consignment note and shall incorporate these Terms and Conditions. Every Shipment is transported on a limited liability basis as provided herein. If Shipper requires greater protection, then insurance may be arranged at an additional cost. (Please see below for further information). "Budget Express" means any member of the Budget Express Worldwide Express Network.

1 Customs, Exports and Imports

Budget Express may perform any of the following activities on Shipper's behalf in order to provide its services to Shipper: (1) complete any documents, amend product or service codes, and pay any duties or taxes required under applicable laws and regulations, (2) act as Shipper's forwarding agent for customs and export control purposes and as Receiver solely for the purpose of designating a customs broker to perform customs clearance and entry and (3) redirect the Shipment to Receiver's import broker or other address upon request by any person who Budget Express believes in its reasonable opinion to be authorised.

2 Unacceptable Shipments

Shipper agrees that its Shipment is acceptable for transportation and is deemed unacceptable if:

it is classified as hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation), any applicable government department or other relevant organisation; no customs declaration is made when required by applicable customs regulations; or Budget Express decides it cannot transport an item safely or legally (such items include but are not limited to: animals, bullion, currency, bearer form negotiable instruments, precious metals and stones, firearms, parts thereof and ammunition, human remains, pornography and illegal narcotics/drugs).

3 Deliveries & Undeliverables

Shipments cannot be delivered to PO boxes or postal codes. Shipments are delivered to the Receiver's address given by Shipper (which in the case of mail services shall be deemed to be the first receiving postal service) but not necessarily to the named Receiver personally. Shipments to addresses with a central receiving area will be delivered to that area. If Receiver refuses delivery or to pay for delivery, or the Shipment is deemed to be unacceptable, or it has been undervalued for customs purposes, or Receiver cannot be reasonably identified or located, Budget Express shall use reasonable efforts to return the Shipment to Shipper at Shipper's cost, failing which the Shipment may be released, disposed of or sold by Budget Express without incurring any liability whatsoever to Shipper or anyone else, with the proceeds applied against service charges and related administrative costs and the balance of the proceeds of a sale to be returned to Shipper.

4 Inspection

Budget Express has the right to open and inspect a Shipment without prior notice to Shipper.

5 Shipment Charges & Billing

Budget Express's Shipment charges are calculated according to the higher of actual or volumetric weight and any Shipment may be re-weighed and re-measured by Budget Express to confirm this calculation. Shipper shall pay or reimburse Budget Express for all Shipment charges, storage charges, duties and taxes owed for services provided by Budget Express or incurred by Budget Express on Shipper's or Receiver's or any third party's behalf and all claims, damages, fines and expenses incurred if the Shipment is deemed unacceptable for transport as described in Section 2.

6 Budget Express's Liability

Budget Express contracts with Shipper on the basis that Budget Express's liability is strictly limited to direct loss only and to the per kilo/Ib limits in this Section 6. All other types of loss or damage are excluded (including but not limited to lost profits, income, interest, future business), whether such loss or damage is special or indirect, and even if the risk of such loss or damage was brought to Budget Express's attention before or after acceptance of the Shipment since special risks can be insured by Shipper. If a Shipment combines carriage by air, road or other mode of transport, it shall be presumed that any loss or damage occurred during the air period of such carriage unless proven otherwise. Budget Express's liability in respect of any one Shipment transported, without prejudice to Sections 7-11, is limited to its actual cash value and shall not exceed the greater of $US 100 or:$US 20.00/kilogram or $US 9.07/lb for Shipments transported by air or other non-road mode of transportation; or $US 10.00/kilogram or $US 4.54/lb for Shipments transported by road (not applicable to the US).Claims are limited to one claim per Shipment settlement of which will be full and final settlement for all loss or damage in connection therewith. If Shipper regards these limits as insufficient it must make a special declaration of value and request insurance as described in Section 8 (Shipment Insurance) or make its own insurance arrangements, failing which Shipper assumes all risks of loss or damage.

7 Time Limits for Claims

All claims must be submitted in writing to Budget Express within thirty (30) days from the date that Budget Express accepted the Shipment, failing which Budget Express shall have no liability whatsoever.

8 Shipment Insurance*

Budget Express can arrange insurance for Shipper covering the actual cash value in respect of loss of or physical amage to the Shipment, provided the Shipper completes the insurance section on the front of the waybill or requests it via Budget Express's automated systems and pays the applicable premium. Shipment insurance does not cover indirect loss or damage, or loss or damage caused by delays.

9 Delayed Shipments

Budget Express will make every reasonable effort to deliver the Shipment according to Budget Express's regular delivery schedules, but these are not guaranteed and do not form part of the contract. Budget Express is not liable for any damages or loss caused by delays.

10 Circumstances beyond Budget Express's control

Budget Express is not liable for any loss or damage arising out of circumstances beyond Budget Express's control. These include but are not limited to:-"Act of God" - e.g. earthquake, cyclone, storm, flood, fog; "Force Majeure" - e.g. war, plane crash or embargo; any defect or characteristic related to the nature of the Shipment, even if known to Budget Express; riot or civil commotion; any act or omission by a person not employed or contracted by Budget Express e.g. Shipper, Receiver, third party, customs or other government official; industrial action; and electrical or magnetic damage to, or erasure of, electronic or photographic images, data or recordings.

11 Warsaw Convention

If the Shipment is transported by air and involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of departure, the Warsaw Convention, if applicable, governs and in most cases limits Budget Express's liability for loss or damage.
