Important Notices
These contractual conditions apply to the Services provided by RAD Global Freight Pty Ltd. These Trading Conditions contain exclusions of liability and indemnities in favour of RAD Global Freight Pty Ltd. You should read these Trading Conditions carefully.
Liability Exclusions - Carriage of Goods
In respect of international carriage of goods, under clause 10 liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted under international conventions. It is likely that if goods are damaged, the liability limits will not fully cover the loss. It is strongly recommended that you obtain insurance to cover loss or damage to the goods.
Subcontracting
We may subcontract the performance of the services and our subcontractors will have the benefit of these terms and conditions. When subcontracting we will select the liability level that produces the lowest rates.
Time Limit for Claims
Clauses 10.11 - 10.12 set out strict time limits on making claims against us. You should notify us immediately if you wish to make a claim against us.
Security Interest
Under clause 14 you grant us a registerable security interest in the goods for payment of all amounts you owe us under this contract.
Fee Increases
Under clause 6 we can increase our fees if the amount charged by subcontractors or other third parties changes and we did not know of, or could not have prevented, that cost increase.
