    5. APPLICABLE LA WS AND PERIOD OF CARRIER'S RESPONSIBILITY

(A) CLAUSE PARAMOUNT 
(1)     Subject to Clause 17 ("Containers") below, this Bill of Lading insofar as it relates to sea Carriage by any Ship whether named herein or not shall be subject to the Hague Rules or any legislation making such Rules or the Hague-Visby Rules compulsorily applicable (such as the United States Carriage of Goods by Sea Act ("COGSA") and the Carriage of Goods by Water Act of Canada ("COGWA")) to this Bill of Lading and the provisions of the Hague Rules or applicable legislation shall be deemed incorporated herein. The Hague Rules or applicable legislation also shall apply to the Carriage of Goods by inland waterways and reference to Carriage by sea in such Rules or legislation shall be deemed to include reference to inland waterways. If and to the extent that the provisions of the Harter Act of the United States of America would otherwise be compulsorily applicable to regulate Carrier's responsibility for the Goods during any period prior to loading on or after discharge from the Ship, Carrier's responsibility shall instead be determined by the provisions of Clause (C) below, but if such provisions are found to be invalid, such responsibility shall be subject to COGSA. 
(2)     Carrier shall be entitled to (and nothing in this Bill of Lading shall operate to deprive or limit such entitlement) the full benefit of, and rights to, all limitations of and exclusions from liability and all rights conferred or authorized by any applicable law, statute, or regulation of any country and any law, statute, or regulation available to the owner(s) of the Ship on which the Goods are carried. 
(B) PORT-TO-PORT SHIPMENTS 
The responsibility of Carrier is limited to that part of the Carriage from and during loading onto the Ship up to and during discharge from the Ship. Carrier shall not be liable for any loss or damage in respect of the Goods or for any matter arising during any other part of the Carriage even though Carrier has charged Charges for the whole Carriage. Merchant appoints Carrier as agent to enter into contracts on behalf of Merchant with others for Carriage of the Goods prior to loading and subsequent to discharge from the Ship without responsibility for any act or omission on the part of Carrier and Carrier may as such agent enter into such contracts with others on any terms, including terms less favorable than the Terms and Conditions in this Bill of Lading. 
(C) COMBINED TRANSPORT SHIPMENTS 
Save as is otherwise provided in this Bill of Lading, Carrier shall be liable for loss of or damage to the Goods occurring from the time that the Goods are Taken into its Charge until the time of delivery to the extent set out below. 
(1)     If the stage of Carriage where loss or damage occurred cannot be proved: 
(a)     Carrier shall be entitled to rely upon all exclusions from liability under the Rules or legislation that would have been applied under Clause 5(A)(1) had the loss or damage occurred at sea even if there was no Carriage by sea. 
(b)     Where under Clause (a) Carrier is not liable in respect of some of the factors causing the loss or damage, Carrier shall only be liable to the extent that those factors for which Carrier is liable have contributed to the loss or damage. 
(c)     Subject to the provisions of this Bill of Lading pertaining to Declared Value of Package or Customary Freight Unit, where the Hague Rules or any legislation applying such Rules or the Hague-Visby Rules (such as COGSA or COGWA) is not compulsorily applicable, Carrier's liability shall not exceed US$2.00 per kilo of the gross weight of the Goods lost, damaged, or in respect of which the claim arises, or the value of the Goods, whichever is the lesser. 
(d)     The value of the Goods shall be determined according to the commodity exchange price at the place and time of delivery to Merchant or at the place and time when they should have been delivered or, if there is no such price, according to the current market price by reference to the normal value of goods of the same kind and quality, at such place and time. 
(2)     If the stage of Carriage where the loss or damage occurred can be proved: 
(a)     the liability of Carrier shall be determined by the provisions contained in any international convention or national law of the country where the loss or damage occurred if these provisions: 
(i)      cannot be departed from by private contract to the detriment of Merchant; and 
(ii) would have applied if Merchant had made a separate and direct contract with Carrier in respect of the particular stage of Carriage where the loss or damage 
occurred and had received as evidence thereof any particular document which must be issued in order to make such international convention or national law applicable; 
(b)     with respect of Carriage in the United States of America or in Canada to the Port of Loading or from the Port of Discharge, the responsibility of Carrier shall be to procure Carriage by one or more carriers, and such Carriage shall be subject to the inland carriers' contracts of carriage and tariffs, copies of which are available from Carrier upon request, and any law compulsorily applicable. Carrier guarantees the fulfillment of such inland carriers' obligations under their contracts and tariffs;

(c)     where neither (a) or (b) above applies, any liability of Carrier shall be determined under Clause 5(C)(1) above.

  1. SCOPE OF CARRIER'S RESPONSIBILITY
    (A) Carrier shall be liable during the period of responsibility detailed in Clause 5 above for loss of or damage to the Goods if Merchant proves that the occurrence which caused the loss or damage took place while the Goods were in Carrier's charge as defined herein, unless Carrier proves that no fault or neglect of its own, or of its employees, agents, servants, contractors, independent contractors, or subcontractors caused or contributed to the loss or damage; provided, however, that Carrier shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its employees, agents, servants, contractors, independent contractors, and subcontractors only when such employees, agents, servants, contractors, independent contractors, and subcontractors are acting within the scope of their employment, agency, or contracts, as if such acts and omissions were its own. 
    (B) Notwithstanding Clause 5 and 6(A) above, with respect to Carriage in any countries other than the United States, if it is not approved or authorized under any applicable laws, rules, or regulations for Carrier to undertake such Carriage under its own responsibility, Carrier shall only be liable for procuring such Carriage by carriers or any other Persons authorized by competent governmental agencies to engage therein. 
    (C) Unless Carrier carries, stores, or physically handles the shipment, or is acting as a non-vessel operating common carrier, and loss, damage, expense, or delay occurs during such activity, Carrier assumes no liability as a carrier. Under these circumstances, Carrier is not to be held responsible for any loss, damage, expense, or delay to the Goods, but undertakes only to use reasonable care in the performance of its duties, including the selection of carriers, truckers, lightermen, forwarders, customshouse brokers, agents, warehousemen and others to whom it may entrust the Goods for Carriage. Carrier shall not be liable under any circumstances when the Goods are in the possession of such third parties. It is agreed that any claim for loss, damage, expense, or delay shall be only against such third parties in whose actual custody or control the Goods may be at the time of such loss, damage, expense, or delay. 
    7. CARRIER RELIEVED OF LIABILITY
    Carrier shall be relieved of liability for delay, non-delivery, or misdelivery, or loss of or damage to the Goods occurring while the Goods are not in Carrier's custody, and for any loss or damage in all circumstances where the loss or damage was caused by: (a) an act or omission of Merchant, or any Person other than Carrier acting on behalf of Merchant or from whom Carrier has Taken the Goods in Charge; (b) insufficiency or defective condition of the packaging or marks and/or numbers; (c) Carriage, including handling, loading, stowage, or unloading of the Goods, by Merchant or any Person acting on behalf of Merchant; (d) inherent vice, including but not limited to wastage in bulk or weight, superficial rust, oxidation, or any condition due to moisture, of the Goods; (e) strike, lockout, stoppage or restraint of labor, the consequences of which Carrier could not avoid by exercise of reasonable diligence; (f) any cause or event which Carrier could not avoid and the consequences of which Carrier could not prevent by exercise of reasonable diligence; (g) acts of God/force majeure, war, or public enemies; (h) arrest or restraint of princes, rulers, or people, or seizure under legal process; (i) quarantine restrictions; (j) fire, unless caused by the action, fault, or privity of Carrier; (k) the act, neglect, or omission of the master, mariner, pilot, or servants of Carrier in navigation or management of the ship; (l) perils, dangers, and accidents of the sea or other navigable waters; (m) riots or civil commotions; (n) saving or attempting to save life or property at sea; (o) a nuclear incident if the operator of a nuclear installation or a Person acting for the operator is liable for this damage under an applicable international Convention or national law governing liability in respect of nuclear energy; (p) latent defects not discoverable by due diligence; (q) compliance with instructions of Merchant; (r) robbery, theft, or pilferage; (s) flood; (t) quarantine, epidemics, or diseases; (u) injury, illness, death, delay, or destruction of or caused by live animals, even if caused or contributed to by any act, neglect, or default of Carrier or by the unseaworthiness or unfitness of any Ship, craft, conveyance, Container, or other thing: Merchant shall indemnify Carrier against all additional costs incurred for any reason in connection with the Carriage of live animals; (v) shallow water; (w) congestion; and (x) any cause or event arising without the actual fault and privity of Carrier. 
    The burden of proving that loss or damage was due to one or more of the above causes or events shall rest upon Carrier. When Carrier establishes that, in the circumstances of the case, loss or damage could be attributed to one or more of the causes or events specified above, it shall be presumed that it was so caused. The claimant shall, however, be entitled to prove that the loss or damage was not, in fact, caused wholly or partly by one or more of these causes or events.
  2. LIMITATION ON CARRIER'S LIABILITY
    (A) Special, Incidental, or Consequential Loss. 
    Except as otherwise provided herein or as mandated by applicable laws, Carrier shall in no circumstances be liable for special, incidental, or consequential loss or damage, including but not limited to loss of profits, income utility, interest, or loss of market caused by delay or any other cause, whether or not Carrier had actual or constructive knowledge that such loss or damage might be incurred. Arrival times are not guaranteed by Carrier. 
    (B) Package or Customary Freight Unit Limitation. 
    (i)      Where COGSA applies to this Bill of Lading (whether by its own force or by agreement), Carrier shall not be liable for loss or damage in an amount exceeding US$500 per package, or in case of Goods not shipped in packages, per customary freight unit, unless the nature and value of the Goods higher than this amount have been declared in writing by Merchant before Carrier's receipt of the Goods and inserted in this Bill of Lading and any extra Charges paid as required. 
    (ii) Where COGSA does not apply, but where the Hague Rules or any legislation making such Rules or the Hague-Visby Rules compulsorily applicable to this Bill of Lading apply, Carrier shall not, unless a declared value has been noted in accordance with (C) below, be or become liable for any loss or damage to or in connection with the Goods in an amount per package or customary freight unit in excess of the 
    limitation as laid down by such Rules or legislation. If no limitation amount is applicable under such Rules or legislation, the limitation shall be US$500 per package 
    or customary freight unit. 
    (iii) Where neither COGSA, nor the Hague Rules, nor any legislation applying such Rules or the Hague-Visby Rules is compulsorily applicable, Carrier's liability shall be no more than US$500 per package or the amount determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in Clause 5 above, whichever is the lesser. 
    (iv) When loss or damage occurs during one particular stage of a Combined Transport Shipment, in respect of which an applicable international convention or mandatory national law would have provided another limit of liability if a separate contract of carriage had been made for that particular stage of transport, then the limit of Carrier's liability for loss or damage shall be determined by reference to the provisions of such convention or mandatory national law. 
    (C) Ad Valorem: Declared Value of Package or Customary Freight Unit. 
    With Carrier's express consent, Carrier's liability may be increased to a higher value by a declaration in writing of the value of the Goods by Merchant before delivery to Carrier of the Goods for shipment, such higher value being inserted on the front of this Bill of Lading in the space provided and, if required by Carrier, extra Charges paid. In such cases, if the actual value of the Goods shall exceed such declared value, the value inserted on the front shall nevertheless be deemed to be the declared value and Carrier's liability if any, shall not exceed the declared value. Any partial loss or damage shall be adjusted pro rata on the basis of such declared value.      IN CONSIDERATION OF CARRIER'S CHARGES FOR CARRIAGE OF ANY SHIPMENT, MERCHANT AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE DEFINED LIABILITY LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS CLAUSE AND ALSO AGREE THAT MERCHANT HAS BEEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DECLARATION OF THE VALUE OF THE GOODS IN EXCESS OF THE DEFINED LIABILITY LIMITATIONS AND TO PAY APPLICABLE EXCESS CHARGES AT THE TIME OF TENDER TO CARRIER AND THAT THE SUM ENTERED ON THE FACE OF THE BILL OF LADING, IF ANY, CONSTITUTES SUCH SPECIAL DECLARATION OF VALUE. 
    (D) Definition of Package or Customary Freight Unit. 
    Where a Container is used to consolidate Goods and such Container is stuffed by Carrier, the number of packages or customary freight units stated on the face of this Bill of Lading in the box provided shall be deemed the number of packages or customary freight units for the purpose of any limit of liability per package or customary freight unit. The words "customary freight unit" shall mean each physical unit or piece of cargo not shipped in a package, including articles or things of any description, except Goods shipped in bulk, and irrespective of the weight or measurement unit employed in calculating Charges. As to Goods shipped in bulk, the applicable limitation shall be the limitation provided in such convention or law which may be compulsorily applicable, and in no event shall anything herein be construed to be a waiver of limitation as to Goods shipped in bulk. 
    (E) Because Carrier requires the assistance of others to perform the Carriage undertaken under this Bill of Lading, every one of Carrier's employees, agents, contractors, independent contractors and subcontractors, and all of their agents, employees, contractors, independent contractors and subcontractors performing such Carriage shall have the benefit of each and all of the Terms and Conditions of this Bill of Lading, including, but not limited to, any limitations of liability contained herein. The aggregate of the amounts recoverable from Carrier and the others identified in this clause shall in no case exceed thelimits provided for in this Bill of Lading. 
    9. NOTICE OF LOSS
    Unless notice of the general nature of any loss or damage is given in writing to Carrier at the port of discharge or at such other place where Carrier is authorized to make delivery, before or at the time of the removal of the Goods into the custody of the Person(s) entitled to delivery under this Bill of Lading, such removal shall be prima facie evidence of the delivery by Carrier of the Goods in like quantity and condition as described in this Bill of Lading. If loss or damage is not apparent, this notice must be given within seven (7) days of the delivery.
  3. TIME BAR
    Carrier shall be discharged from all liability in respect of loss, damage, misdelivery and all claims for damages unless suit is brought and jurisdiction obtained over Carrier by service of process within one (1) year after delivery of the Goods or the date when the Goods should have been delivered. In the event that this limitation period is found contrary to any convention or law compulsorily applicable, the time period required by the convention or law shall apply. 
    11. MERCHANT'S RESPONSIBILITY
    (A) Merchant warrants to Carrier that in agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of this Bill of Lading, Merchant is the agent of and has the authority of every Person owning or entitled to the possession of the Goods and/or this Bill of Lading and any Person who has a present or future interest in the Goods and/or this Bill of Lading. 
    (B) The description and particulars of the Goods set out on the face of this Bill of Lading hereof are furnished by Merchant, and Merchant warrants to Carrier that these items including, but not limited to, nature, weight, content, measure, volume, quantity, quality, condition, marks, numbers, and value and, if applicable, the requirements of Clause 17 relating to dangerous or hazardous goods, are accurate and adequate. The description and particulars inserted in this Bill of Lading shall constitute prima facie evidence that the Goods have been Taken in Charge by the Carrier as described by such information unless a contrary indication, such as "Shipper's Weight, Load and Count", "Shipper Packed Container", "Said to Contain", or similar notation has been made in the printed text or superimposed on this Bill of Lading. 
    (C) Merchant shall clearly label and declare in writing the weight of any single piece or package exceeding 2,240 pounds gross before Carrier takes the piece or package in Charge. 
    (D) Merchant shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and requirements of customs, port, and other authorities and shall bear and pay all duties, taxes, fines, imposts, expenses, and losses incurred or suffered by reason thereof or by reason of any illegal, incorrect, or insufficient marking, numbering, or addressing of the Goods. 
    (E) Merchant undertakes that the Goods are packed in a manner adequate to withstand the ordinary risks of Carriage having regard to their nature and in compliance with all laws, regulations, and requirements which may be applicable. All Goods must be properly and sufficiently packaged to withstand damage due to normal handling during Carriage. 
    (F)     Merchant shall be liable for any loss, damage, contamination, soiling, detention, or demurrage before, during, and after the Carriage of property (including, but not limited to, Containers) of Carrier or any Person (other than Merchant) or Ship caused by Merchant or any Person acting on Merchant's behalf or for which Merchant is otherwise responsible. 
    (G) Merchant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Carrier against any loss, damage, injury, claim, liability, or expense arising from any breach of the provisions of this Clause, from any cause in connection with the Goods for which Carrier is not responsible, and from the Carriage of the Goods insofar as such loss, damage, injury, claim, liability, or expense exceeds Carrier's liability under this Bill of Lading. 
    12. NEW JASON CLAUSE 
    In the event of accident, danger, damage, or disaster before or after the commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause, whether due to negligence or not, for which, or for the consequence of which, Carrier is not responsible, by statute, contract, or otherwise, the Goods or Merchant shall contribute with Carrier in general average to the payment of any sacrifices, losses, or expenses of a general average nature that may be made or incurred and shall pay salvage and special damages incurred in respect of the Goods. If a salving ship is owned or operated by Carrier, salvage shall be paid for as fully as if the said salving ship or ships belonged to strangers. 
    13. GENERAL AVERAGE 
    Merchant shall indemnify and defend Carrier in respect of any claim of a general average nature which may be declared by or made on Carrier and shall provide a cash deposit or security as may be required by Carrier in order to cover the estimated general average contribution of the Goods and any salvage or special charges thereon either before delivery or within three months of the delivery of the Goods at Carrier's option, whether or not Merchant had notice of the contribution requirement at the time of delivery. General Average shall be adjusted, stated, and settled according to York-Antwerp Rules, at such port or place as may be selected by Carrier, and as to matters not provided for by these Rules, according to the law and usages of California. 
    14. BOTH TO BLAME COLLISION 
    If the Ship on which the Goods are carried (the "carrying vessel") collides with any other vessel or object (the "non-carrying vessel" or object) as a result of the negligence of the non-carrying vessel or object or the owner of, charterer of, or Person responsible for the non-carrying vessel or object, and the act, neglect, or omission of the carrying vessel, Merchant undertakes to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Carrier against all claims by or liability to (and any expense arising therefrom) any vessel or Person in respect of any loss of, or damage to, the Goods or any claim of Merchant paid and payable to Merchant by the non-carrying vessel or object or the owner of, charterer of, or Person responsible for the non-carrying vessel or object and set-off, recouped, or recovered by the non-carrying vessel, object or Person(s) against Carrier, the carrying vessel, or her owners or charterers. This Clause also shall apply where the owners, operators, or those in charge of any ship or ships or objects other than, or in addition to, the colliding ships or objects, are at fault in respect to a collision, contact, stranding, or other accident.
  4. LIEN
    Carrier shall have a lien which shall survive delivery on all Goods and any documents relating to the Goods for all Charges and amounts due under this Bill of Lading and for general average contributions, plus storage and demurrage fees. Carrier may enforce the lien in any manner permitted by law without liability to Merchant, and the costs and attorneys' fees related to such action shall be a part of the lien. If on enforcement of the lien the proceeds fail to cover the amount due and the costs and attorneys' fees incurred, Carrier shall be entitled to recover the deficit from Merchant. 
    16. DANGEROUS OR HAZARDOUS GOODS
    (A) No goods which are or may become dangerous or hazardous or are or may become liable to damage any property or person shall be tendered to Carrier for Carriage without Carrier's advance express written consent. 
    (B) Merchant shall comply with rules which are mandatory according to Carrier's applicable Tariff and Service Guide and any national law or international convention relating to the Carriage of goods of a dangerous or hazardous nature, including but not limited to regulations requiring that the Container and/or the Goods be distinctly marked and/or labeled on the outside and requiring that the Goods be packed by Merchant in a manner adequate to withstand ordinary risks of Carriage having regard to their nature, and is required to inform Carrier in writing of the exact nature of the danger or hazard, any precautions to be taken, method(s) of rendering the Goods innocuous, and the full names, addresses, and telephone numbers of Shipper and Consignee before the Goods are Taken in Charge by Carrier. 
    (C) If Merchant fails to comply with the mandatory rules and/or written notification requirements set forth in Clause (A) and (B) above, and Carrier is unaware of the dangerous or hazardous nature of the Goods and the necessary precautions to be taken, and if, at any time, the Goods are deemed to be a danger or hazard to life or property, they may at any place be unloaded or landed, destroyed, abandoned, or rendered innocuous, as circumstances may require, without compensation or general average contribution, and Merchant shall be liable for all loss, damage, delay, penalties, fines, fees, Charges or expenses arising out of their being Taken in Charge, or their Carriage, or of any service incidental thereto. The burden of proving Carrier knew the exact nature of the danger or hazard constituted by the Carriage of the Goods shall rest upon Merchant.

(D) If any Goods shipped with the knowledge of Carrier as to their dangerous nature shall become a danger or hazard to life or property, they may in like manner be unloaded or landed any place or destroyed, abandoned, or rendered innocuous by Carrier. If such danger or hazard was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Carrier, these actions shall be without liability on the part of Carrier except to general average, if any, and Merchant shall be liable for all loss, damage, delay, penalties, fines, fees, Charges, or expenses arising out of their being Taken in Charge, or their Carriage, or of any service incidental thereto.

  1. CONTAINERS
    (A) Carrier may stuff any Goods in or on Containers and may stuff Goods with other goods. 
    (B) If a Container has been stuffed by or on behalf of Merchant, Carrier shall not be liable, and Merchant shall indemnify and defend Carrier, for loss of or damage to the Goods caused by the manner in which the Container has been stuffed, by the unsuitability of the Goods for Carriage in Containers, by failure to seal the Container at the commencement of the Carriage, unless Carrier has agreed to seal the Container, and/or by the unsuitability or defective condition of the Container provided that the unsuitability or defective condition arose without any want of due diligence on the part of Carrier and would have been apparent upon reasonable inspection by Merchant at or prior to the time when the Container was stuffed. 
    (C) If, by order of the authorities of any place, the Goods must be unpacked from their Containers to be inspected, Carrier shall not be liable for loss or damage incurred during the unpacking, inspection or repacking, and Carrier shall be entitled to recover the cost of unpacking, inspection, and repacking from Merchant. 
    (D) Containers other than flats or pallets and Goods may be stowed on deck without notice to Merchant and when so stowed shall participate in general average and shall be deemed for all purposes, including for purposes of general average and the legislation, the Hague Rules, or the Hague-Visby Rules compulsorily applicable to this Bill of Lading, to be stowed under deck, and such stowage on deck shall not be a deviation of any nature or degree. 
    (E) Special Containers or Containers of any particular quality, such as Containers with refrigeration, heating, insulation, or ventilation units, shall not be furnished or accepted for Carriage unless contracted for in writing at the time of booking and are subject to additional Charges and applicable Tariff and Service Guide rules. 
    18. EXPENSES
    The Goods and/or Merchant shall be liable for all expense of mending, cooperage, bailing, or reconditioning of the Goods or packages and gathering of loose contents of packages, also for any payment, expense, fine, penalty, dues, duty, tax, impost, attorney's fees, loss, damage, or detention paid, sustained, incurred by, or levied upon Carrier or the Ship in connection with the Goods, however caused, including any action or requirement of any government or governmental authority, or Person purporting to act under the authority thereof, seizure under legal process or attempted seizure, incorrect or insufficient marking, numbering or addressing of packages or description of the contents, failure to procure consular, Board of Health or other certificates to accompany the Goods or to comply with laws or regulations of any kind imposed with respect to the Goods by the authorities at any port or place, any act or omission of Merchant, or any proceedings by way of interpleader or otherwise which Carrier may bring to determine the right or ownership or possession in or to the Goods or Container(s). 
    19. CHARGES 
    A.      Charges have been calculated on the basis of the description and particulars furnished and warranted by or on behalf of Merchant. Carrier shall be entitled to production of the commercial invoice for the Goods or true copy thereof and to inspect, reweigh, remeasure, and revalue the Goods and if the description and particulars are found by Carrier to be incorrect, Merchant shall pay Carrier the correct Charges (credit being given for Charges already paid, if any) and the costs incurred by Carrier in establishing the correct description and particulars. 
    B.      Charges, whether prepayable or payable on a collect basis at destination, shall be deemed fully earned when the Goods are Taken in Charge by Carrier. Despite the acceptance by Carrier of instructions to collect Charges or other expenses from a particular Person, each and every Person falling under the definition of Merchant in Clause 1 above remains responsible, jointly and severally, to pay all Charges and other expenses.
  2.  Merchant shall reimburse Carrier in proportion to the amount of freight for any Charges for deviation or delay or other increase of costs of whatever nature necessitated by war, warlike operations, epidemics, strikes, government directions, force majeure, and the like.

  3. PAYMENT TERMS
    A.      Two options are available to settle Charges incurred under this Bill of Lading: prepayment by the Shipper or collect from the Consignee. In the event that the appropriate billing party is not designated on the Bill of Lading, the primary liability shall become the Shipper's. 
    1.      All Charges applicable to a prepaid shipment (a shipment on which the Charges are to be paid by the Shipper) are payable in cash or certified check, without discount, setoff, counterclaim, or deduction of any kind, within 21 days after the Ship's sailing date. 
    2.      In the case of a collect shipment (a shipment on which the Charges are to be paid by the Consignee), all Charges applicable are payable in cash or certified check, without discount, setoff, counterclaim, or deduction of any kind, at the time of delivery. 
    B.      Charges are payable in the currency named in this Bill of Lading or, at Carrier's option, in the currency of the country where the Goods are Taken in Charge by Carrier or of the country of destination. Merchant's attention is drawn to the stipulations regarding currency in which Charges are to be paid, rate of exchange, devaluation, and other contingencies relative to Charges in the applicable Tariff and/ or Service Guide. 
    C.      Certain shipments must be prepaid unless the Shipper guarantees, in 
    writing, the payment of collect Charges. Merchant's attention is drawn to the listing(s) of these shipments in the applicable Tariff and/or Service Guide. 
    21. ANTI-REBATE POLICY

    22. METHODS AND ROUTE OF TRANSPORTATION 
    (A) Carrier may at any time and without notice to Merchant carry the Goods as a single or as several shipments and use any means of transport or storage; load or carry the Goods on any Ship whether named on the front of this Bill of Lading or not; transfer the Goods from one conveyance to another including transshipping by water, land, or air, or carrying the same on another Ship than that named on the front of this Bill of Lading or by any other means of Carriage; at any place unpack and remove Goods which have been stuffed in or on a Container and forward the same in any manner; proceed at any speed and by any route in Carrier's discretion (whether or not the nearest or most direct or customary or advertised route); comply with any orders or recommendation given by any government or authority or any Person or body acting or purporting to act as or on behalf of such government or authority or having under the terms of the insurance on the conveyance employed by Carrier the right to give orders or directions; permit the Ship to proceed with or without pilots, to tow or be towed or to be dry-docked; permit the vessel to carry livestock and cargo of all kinds, dangerous or otherwise, contraband, explosives, munitions, or warlike stores and sail armed or unarmed. 
    (B) The liberties set out in Clause (A) above may be invoked by Carrier for any purpose whether or not connected with Carriage of the Goods, including undergoing repairs, towing or being towed, adjusting instruments, dry docking, and assisting vessels in all situations. Anything done in accordance with Clause (A) above or any delay arising therefrom shall be deemed to be within thecontractual Carriage and shall not be a deviation of any nature or degree. 
    23. DELIVERY OF GOODS 
    (A) The Goods shall be deemed duly delivered when they have been handed over or placed at the disposal of Merchant or its agent in accordance with this Bill of Lading, or when the Goods have been handed over to any authority or other party to whom, pursuant to the laws or regulations applicable at the place of delivery, the Goods must be handed over, or such other place at which Carrier is entitled to call upon Merchant to take delivery. 
    (B) If delivery of the Goods or any part thereof is not taken by Merchant at the time and place when and where Carrier is entitled to call upon Merchant to take delivery, Carrier shall be entitled without notice to remove from any Container the Goods or that part stuffed in or on a Container and to store the Goods or any part thereof ashore, afloat, in the open, or under cover, at the sole risk and expense of Merchant, whereupon, such storage shall constitute due delivery under this Bill of Lading and the responsibility of Carrier in respect of the Goods or that part thereof stored shall wholly cease. The cost and expense of such storage shall forthwith upon demand by Carrier be paid by Merchant. (C) If Merchant fails to take delivery of the Goods within the time provided for in Carrier's applicable Tariff and/or Service Guide or if in the opinion of Carrier the Goods are likely to deteriorate, decay, become worthless, or incur Charges whether for storage or otherwise in excess of their value, Carrier may, without prejudice to any other rights which Carrier may have against Merchant, without notice and without any responsibility attaching to Carrier, sell or dispose of the Goods and apply the proceeds of sale to reduce the sums due to Carrier from Merchant in respect of this Bill of Lading. 
    (D) If at any time the Carriage under this Bill of Lading is or is likely to be affected by any undue hindrance or risk of any kind (including the condition of the Goods) not arising from any fault or neglect of Carrier and which cannot be avoided by the exercise of reasonable diligence, Carrier may discharge or abandon the Carriage of the Goods under this Bill of Lading and, where reasonably possible, place or store the Goods or any part of them at Merchant's disposal at any place where Carrier may deem safe and convenient, or Carrier may retain the cargo on board until the return trip or until such time as Carrier deems advisable and later discharge or abandon the Goods at any place as herein provided, or Carrier may incur any reasonable additional expense necessary to continue the Carriage unimpeded by hindrance or risk. Under all of the aforesaid circumstances, Carrier shall not be required to give advance notice of discharge or abandonment of the Goods or their forwarding; and when the Goods are discharged or abandoned or otherwise dealt with as provided in this Clause, they shall be at the Goods' and Merchant's own risk and expense; such discharge constitutes complete delivery and performance under this Bill of Lading and Carrier shall be freed from any further responsibility. In accordance with this Clause, Carrier may, but is under no obligation to, open any Container or package at any time to inspect the Goods. For any services rendered to the Goods as provided above, Carrier shall be entitled to assess Charges amounting to a reasonable extra compensation. 
    (E) If Carrier makes a special agreement, whether by stamp hereon or otherwise, to deliver the Goods hereby receipted for at a specified dock or wharf at the port of discharge, such agreement shall be construed to require Carrier to make delivery at such specified dock or wharf only if, in the sole judgment of the master, the Ship can safely under her own power proceed to lie at, and return from, said dock or wharf. 
    (F)     In case the cargo received by Carrier is a sealed Container(s) into which contents have been packed by or on behalf of Merchant, Carrier shall only be responsible for delivery of the total number of sealed Container(s) shown on the face hereof, and shall not be required to unpack the Container(s) and deliver the contents thereof in accordance with brands, marks, numbers, sizes, or types of packages or pieces. Such delivery shall be deemed as the full and complete performance of Carrier's delivery obligation, and Carrier shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the contents of the Container(s). Merchant agrees to return such Container(s) promptly. In case the Goods have been stuffed into Container(s) by Carrier, Carrier may unpack the Container(s) and deliver the contents thereof and shall not be required to deliver the Goods in Containers. 
    (G) Goods that cannot be identified as to marks or numbers, cargo sweepings, liquid residue, or any unclaimed Goods not otherwise accounted for may be allocated for the purpose of completing delivery to the various Merchants of Goods of like character in proportion to any apparent shortage, loss of weight, or damage. Carrier is not responsible for loss of weight in bags or bales torn, mended, or with sample holes. 
    (H) Any mention herein of parties to be notified of the arrival of the Goods is solely for information of Carrier, and failure to give such notification shall not involve Carrier in any liability nor relieve Merchant of any obligation hereunder. 
    24. PARTIAL INVALIDITY 
    If any clause or provision of this Bill of Lading is adjudged to be invalid or unenforceable by any court or regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such clause or provision and the remaining clauses will not be affected. 
    25. LAWS AND JURISDICTION 
    Disputes arising under this Bill of Lading shall be determined, at the option of Merchant, by the courts and, to the extent not otherwise dictated by these Terms and Conditions, in accordance with the law at: (a) the place where the Goods were Taken in Charge by Carrier or the place designated for delivery, or (b) the place of Carrier's branch or agency through which this Bill of Lading was issued.

  1. Hazardous Materials/Dangerous Goods. Shipper shall limit all packages containing hazardous materials/dangerous goods to the materials and quantities authorized for air transportation under the U.S. Department of Transportation ("USDOT") hazardous materials transportation regulations (49 C.F.R.

Carrier reserves the right to reject any Shipment containing any known or suspected dangerous goods.
  2. Storage. If for any reason, it is impossible for Carrier to complete this contract or if the consignee fails to accept delivery of the Shipment or any part thereof, Carrier shall notify Shipper and then may store the goods at the storage rates provided in its tariffs or, at its option may store the goods in the public warehouse in which event the storage rates charges by such warehouse shall apply. Goods which remain unclaimed for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of notice to Shipper may be sold by Carrier at public or private sales and the proceeds of such sale may be applied against any outstanding freight charges, advances or charges of any kind which are due. Any balance remaining after payment of such charges shall be remitted to Shipper, the consignee, or owner. However, Shipper, consignee, and owner shall remain jointly and severally liable to Carrier for any deficiency should the proceeds of such sales be insufficient to offset all charges due Carrier with respect to the goods. Shipper and consignee agree jointly and severally to indemnify Carrier and to hold carrier harmless against all loss and expense, including attorney's fees of whatever nature brought by any other owner or other person having an interest in the goods sold under this provision.

Carrier shall be under no obligation to incur any expense or to make any advance in connection with the forwarding of the goods except against repayment by Shipper. If it is necessary to make customs entry of the goods at any place, the goods shall be deemed to be consigned at such place to the person named on the face hereof as customs consignee or, if no such person be named, to such customs consignee as Carrier may designate.
  4. Lien Rights. Extra Logistics, LLC shall have a lien on any and all documents and Shipments of Shipper under Extra Logistics, LLC 's actual or constructive possession or control for monies owed to Extra Logistics, LLC  with regard to the Shipment on which the lien is claimed, prior Shipment(s) or both. In the event Extra Logistics, LLC  exercises its lien it shall notify Shipper of the exact amount of monies due and owing by Shipper. Extra Logistics, LLC  shall also notify Shipper of all storage and continuing charges accruing on Shipments subject to Extra Logistics, LLC 's lien. Extra Logistics, LLC  may refuse to surrender possession of the Shipment(s) until such charges are paid. Extra Logistics, LLC  shall release its lien upon receipt of payment by Shipper of the total amount due. In the event Shipper does not satisfy Extra Logistics, LLC 's lien within fifteen (15) days of Extra Logistics, LLC 's exercise of the lien, Extra Logistics, LLC  shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell such Shipment(s) at public or private sale or auction without further notice to Shipper.
  5. Payment Term. All charges are due and payable upon receipt of the invoice. Any payment which is past due shall be subject to an additional charge of one and one-half percent (1-½%) per month of the outstanding balance due or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, together with all collection costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Carrier.
  6. Severability. If any provision contained or referred to in Extra Logistics, LLC 's Airbill and herein,may be contrary to mandatory law, government regulations, orders, or requirements, such provision shall remain applicable to the extent that it is not overridden thereby. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect any other part hereof.
  7. Shipper's Indemnities. Shipper and consignee shall indemnify and hold Carrier and its agents harmless for loss/damage/delay or any monetary losses which are a result of auxiliary services including but not limited to local cartage, crating, uncrating, packing, and unpacking which are requested by Shipper or consignee and arranged by Carrier as a customer service unless such services are actually performed by Carrier or its agents. Such indemnity shall extend to the selection by Carrier of the providers of the auxiliary services. Auxiliary services are those which are performed prior or subsequent to transportation and which may be billed directly by the provider of the services or by Carrier. Providers of auxiliary services are contractors for Shipper or consignee and not agents of Carrier. Local cartage is the movement of unpackaged/uncrated freight. NOTE: Under no circumstances shall the liability of Carrier for any monetary loss which is a result of any auxiliary services performed by Carrier or its agents be greater than the liability set forth in this contract, even if such loss was foreseeable.
  8. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law. The Extra Logistics, LLC 's Conditions of Carriage and the services provided by Carrier under Extra Logistics, LLC 's Airbill shall be governed by and subject to the applicable federal law of the United States and by the laws of the State of California, without regard to the choice-of-law rules of California or any other State. SHIPPER AND CARRIER AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT, WHETHER UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN STATUTES, REGULATIONS, OR COMMON LAW, SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS SERVING LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA. SHIPPER AND CARRIER HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. In the event Shipper files an action against Carrier, Shipper hereby consents to any Carrier-instituted transfer of such action to any other venue in which Carrier is a party or subsequently becomes a party to an action concerning loss, damage or delay to the cargo that is the subject of Shipper's action. Should Carrier successfully defend itself or any legal actions brought by any party with an interest in this Shipment, Carrier shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs. The parties agree that no consolidated claims or class actions shall be arbitrated.
  9. Domestic Shipments. In the event that Extra Logistics, LLC 's Airbill is used for domestic air freight movement (any shipment that originates in, is destined for, and does not include an ultimate destination or stop outside of the United States or any U.S. territory, possession, or commonwealth), Carrier's limitation of liability for lost, damaged or delayed freight shall be specified by Shipper in the manner set forth in Section 17 hereof.
  10. Shipments to Which Convention Does Not Apply, Other Than Domestic Shipments.

  11. Cargo Security Requirements. Shipper acknowledges that Extra Logistics, LLC , like all indirect air carriers, is required by TSA to maintain an air cargo security program.
