Auto Terms & Conditions
1. Global Relogistics (a broker MC-205773) hereafter referred to as GRI agrees to have vehicle(s) described on quotation shipped on or about the dates requested. GRI will designate a reliable carrier's (agent) to fulfill the terms and conditions of this agreement. Carrier provides primary insurance coverage with no deductible. GRI or its Agents do not guarantee a specific pickup or delivery date.
2. This order is subject to all terms and conditions of the carrier's straight bill of lading, copies of which is available at the office of carrier and is incorporated herein.
3. Carriers responsibility begins when the shipper or his agent signs the bill of lading at pickup, and terminates when the shipper or his agent signs the bill of lading at delivery. GRI must be notified, should the shipper be unavailable for pickup or delivery, and his agent must be designated at that time.
4. GRI hereby notifies shipper that his vehicle will be driven on and off the transporter, or to and from the transporter at the pickup or delivery site, should the carrier be unable to access either site. This does not relieve the consignee from making a reasonable effort to meet the truck at a suitable location. Due to varying circumstances, i.e., weight restrictions, steep hills, overhanging trees, narrow streets, low bridges, cull-de sacs, etc., the carrier on a door to door order may have to arrange with the consignee / agent to meet him at a legal and / or safe pick-up or drop-off location as close as possible to the "door" to give / receive vehicle(s). Carrier will phone consignee / agent between 3-24 hours prior to pick-up or drop-off of vehicle. Any CODs due to the carrier can be prepared in advance.
5. All vehicles to be delivered with a balance due shall be paid by CASH or CASHIERS CHECK ONLY ( US funds ). Should delivery be attempted after attempted notification (3 to 24 hours voice notification to phone numbers provided by shipper) and shipper or his agent does not have proper funds or is unavailable to receive delivery, vehicle(s) will be taken to and left at the nearest terminal at the discretion of GRI, where shipper will have to retrieve and pay for storage or redelivery fees.
6. GRI does not guarantee transport by any specific driver/carrier.
7. If you are shipping an inoperable vehicle, you may be required to help load and unload said vehicle at the discretion of the driver. Should vehicle(s) become inoperable during transport, $200.00 will be due at time of delivery in addition to any other moneys owed. It is shipper's responsibility to make sure vehicle is in proper working order.
8. GRI or its agents will not knowingly transport vehicles with personal or household items in the passenger or trunk compartment. Federal regulation prohibits GRI or its agents from doing so. If such items are shipped unbeknown to GRI or its agents, such items become the sole responsibility of the shipper. Should damage occur or fines are levied, said fines or damage is shipper's responsibility. If you place personal items in your car you will be subject to additional fees at the discretion of the transporting company.
9. GRI or its agents will not be responsible for vandalism, acts of god (fire, flooding, hail, sand storm, tornadoes, and earthquakes) or objects flying from the road or sky during transport. Shippers should maintain their own insurance for these reasons.
10. Shipper is responsible for preparing the vehicle(s) for transport, all loose parts fragile or protruding accessories, low hanging spoilers, fog lights, antennas, etc., must be removed and/or properly secured. Any part that falls off in transit is shipper's responsibility, including damages done by said part to any and all vehicles involved, caused by said part/fluid.
11. If damage should occur, all moneys owed for transport must be paid to initiate a claim. Damage must be noted in the proper place on the bill of lading, and signed by driver and shipper, regardless of weather, or time of day. Signing the bill of lading without any notation of damage verifies that shipper or his agent has received said vehicle in good condition, and that GRI and its agents are relieved of any further responsibility. Shipper or his agent MUST check vehicle thoroughly.
12. GRI and its agents must also be notified of any damage by phone within 24 hours. Shipper must submit in writing a description of damage, clear pictures, and 2 estimates within 10 days of receipt of said vehicle directly to the designated carrier for any resolution to be initiated. GRI will support you in this effort should such a problem occur, but in no way will GRI accept responsibility for any negligence of the assigned carrier. If your vehicle is valued at a higher than market rate, we suggest you purchase a special insurance rider.
13. Any claim or controversy arising from or relating to this agreement, or the performance or breach thereof, shall be subject to the jurisdiction in the county of residence of Global Relogistics, Inc. Shipper specifically waives any right to judicature of this matter at any other location. GRI can only be liable for up to the amount of the deposit located on your quotation. In no case can GRI be held liable for the designated carrier's damage. GRI will provide carriers insurance certificate and carrier information should any controversy arise.
