the price set out in the Service Order and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
2.2 We shall have the right to make any
changes to the Service(s) which are necessary to comply with any applicable law
or safety requirement or which do not materially affect the nature or quality
of the Service(s) and we shall notify you of any such changes.
2.3 We warrant that the Service(s) will be
provided using reasonable care and skill.
3. Loading and Unloading
3.1 If collection or delivery of a Consignment
takes place at your premises, we shall not be under any obligation to provide
any equipment or labour which, apart from the driver collecting the
Consignment, may be required for loading or unloading of a Consignment.
3.2 Any Consignment (or part of a Consignment)
requiring any special equipment for loading and unloading shall be accepted by
us for transportation only on the understanding and condition that such special
equipment will be made available at the Collection Point and the Delivery Point
as required. Where such equipment is not
available and if we agree to load or unload the Consignment (or part of the
Consignment) we shall be under no liability or obligation of any kind to you
for any damage caused (however it may be caused) during the loading or
unloading of the Consignment. This
includes any damage caused whether or not by our negligence and you shall agree
to indemnify and hold us harmless against any claim or demand from any person
arising out of our agreeing to load or unload the Consignment in these
circumstances. 4. Collection
and Deliveries
4.1 We will
make one attempt to deliver a Consignment during normal working hours. If we
cannot obtain a delivery receipt at the Delivery Point you agree that we shall
be authorised to attempt to deliver the Consignment to, or obtain a delivery
receipt from, an alternative address close to the Delivery Point and (if
successful) we agree that we will leave at the Delivery Point details of the
address to which we have delivered the Consignment. If we are unable to
deliver, either to the Delivery Point or a nearby address, we shall return the
Consignment to our premises and leave a request for the recipient of the
Consignment to contact us to make alternative delivery arrangements to the
Delivery Point. If the recipient does
not contact us to arrange the alternative delivery within 7 days we will
return the Consignment to you at your cost (such cost to be discharged before
delivery to you).4.2 If we consider that the Consignment has
become a Damaged Consignment and cannot be delivered because it is or in our
reasonable opinion is likely to be unsafe hazardous or harmful we reserve the
right to dispose of the Damaged Consignment immediately. If the Consignment
becomes a Damaged Consignment because of our actions and we have to dispose of
it we will only be liable
to you up to the amounts specified in 6.7.
5. Sub-Contractors
5.1 You agree that we may use another carrier in
order to support our provision of the services to you (this will be at our own
expense) and you agree that both we and this other carrier shall be entitled to
the protection of all of the terms of this Agreement which exclude or limit
liability for any losses or damage.
6. Our Liability
YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE
AND THE LIMITS OF OUR LIABILITY WITHIN IT.
6.1 Where you deal with us as a consumer,
nothing within these terms and conditions shall be deemed to affect your rights
under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. For the avoidance of any doubt, when
you deal with us as a business the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 is hereby
excluded to the fullest extent legally possible and you are further referred to
additional terms relating to business clients set out below.
6.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or
exclude our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our
negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
6.3 As a responsible business, we will perform
the Service(s) in a professional manner with the appropriate level of skill and
care. However, damage to a Consignment
may still occur as a consequence of our handling of it and in such
circumstances, our liability shall be limited as set out in these Terms and Conditions.
The reasoning behind this limitation of our liability is as follows:
(a) The value of a Consignment and the amount
of potential loss to you that could arise if a Consignment is damaged or lost
is not something which we can easily ascertain but is something which is better
known to you. In many cases it cannot be
known to us at all and can only be known to you;
(b) The potential amount of loss that might be
caused or alleged to be caused to you is likely to be disproportionate to the
sum that we could reasonably be expected to charge you for providing the
Service(s) under this Agreement;
(c) It is not possible for us to obtain cover
which would give unlimited compensation for our full potential liability to all
of our customers and, even if it were, such cover would be much cheaper if
taken out by you (rather than us taking out such cover and passing the cost on
to you) and on that basis, it is more appropriate for you to take out such
cover;
(d) We wish to keep the costs of providing the
Service(s) to you as low as possible;
(e) In light of the above we wish to limit our
liability for any damage caused to you to levels which we consider
proportionate to our low charges for providing the Services. These amounts are
set out in clause 6.5;
(f) In these Terms and Conditions, damage to
you means any damage suffered by you (including any loss of, or damage to, a
Consignment and any other loss, whether or not known to you or us or in either
of our contemplation at the time of entering into this Agreement), however it
arises but only so long as it is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or
other wrongful act or omission (which includes any deliberately wrongful act or
omission) and any breach of any the terms of this Agreement, or any terms
implied by statute (where applicable);
(g) We investigate all claims received by us
in a fair and speedy manner, but such investigations are more accurate and are
easier to perform soon after the loss or damage is alleged to have incurred and
on that basis, the timescales set out in this Agreement are necessary to ensure
that such investigations can be performed fairly.
The Extent of our Liability
6.4 We shall only be liable for damage or
loss caused to you if it is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or other
wrongful act or omission, and only subject to the limitations set out within
this clause 6 and clause 7;
6.5 We shall not be liable to you under any
circumstances for any direct or indirect loss (including, but not limited to
loss of profits, or loss of goodwill) or for any other special or indirect
losses, costs, damages, or claims which do not arise naturally as a result of
our negligence, breach of duty, or other wrongful act or omission.
6.6 We shall not be liable to you:
a) under any circumstances where there
are any material discrepancies (meaning more than 10% difference) between the
declared dimensions and weights and the actual dimensions and weights.
b) in
any circumstances in respect of the items on the Prohibited items; Special
Provisions items and No Compensation items lists, unless otherwise stated by
us.
The Limitation on the Amount of our Liability
6.7 If we are liable to you for any reason, we
shall (subject always to clause 7) only be liable to you up to the following
amounts in the following circumstances:
(a) If we lose or damage all of a
Consignment we will be liable for a maximum of £50 (£20 for Hermes, City
Link Standard, Collect+ and Yodel48 services). If however this maximum figure
is greater than the actual value of the Consignment then we shall only be
liable for the full value of that Consignment;
(b) If we lose or damage part of a
Consignment, the amount of the sum determined under clause 6.7(a) above
shall be pro rated down to represent the proportion that the actual value of
that part of the Consignment bears to the actual value of the whole Consignment
(so, by way of an illustrative example, if the whole Consignment was worth £50
(£20 for Hermes, City Link Standard, Collect+ and Yodel48 services), and we
lost or damaged one quarter of it, we would only be liable for 25% of the
figure worked out under clause 6.7(a) above, i.e. £12.50 for the £50 service
and £5 for the £20 service);
(c) If we cause you loss or damage arising
in any other way, a maximum of £50 (£20 for Hermes, City Link Standard,
Collect+ and Yodel48 services) in respect of any Consignment.
If you consider that the potential loss to you
caused by the loss or damage of all (or part) of a Consignment would exceed the
figures set out above you must arrange separate cover or insurance to
cover such potential loss. For the avoidance
of doubt, this includes any additional insurance you may require in respect of
any items listed on the “Special Provisions” and “No Compensation Items”
lists. The items on the “Prohibited
Items” list are prohibited and no level of insurance taken out by you will
change whether these items will be allowed.
If you do not do this then we shall not be liable to you for more than
the amounts set out above and you shall be responsible for the risks in any
amounts not covered through such cover or insurance (or lack of).
We will not be liable to repay you the value of the
Consignment as at the time it was purchased by you. Consignments by their
nature are subject to depreciation. You are advised to take out a “new for old”
insurance policy should you wish to be compensated in this way. Our liability
to you is limited to the amounts set out within this clause 6 and based on the
actual value at the date of loss.
6.8 In order to ascertain the extent of our
liability above, we shall require proof of the value and weight of the entire
Consignment and any part or parts of it which make it up and you must ensure
that, prior to our collection of the Consignment, you have a record of these.
For the avoidance of any doubt, and without affecting clause 6.5, we shall only
be liable for the replacement value of the Consignment and not for any sums
that would amount to profit on the Consignment or applicable value added tax
(or like tax) on such profit.
6.9 If a claim arises as a result of damage to
the whole or part of a Consignment and if we settle the claim for a sum equal
to or greater than the value of the Consignment, then we shall be entitled to
claim ownership of the Consignment and deal with it as we see fit. For the
avoidance of any doubt, we shall be responsible for the cost of recovery of the
Consignment.
6.10 If you wish to combine a number of discrete
packages you must do this within an outer box or packaging fully encompassing
each discrete package. If you do not do this and any individual discrete
package(s) come apart in transit resulting in one or more of them being lost,
then once the remaining parcel(s) are signed for by the recipient, you accept
that you cannot make a claim for loss or partial loss of that consignment.
Prohibited Items, Special Provisions Items and No
Compensation Items
6.11 Certain other items are carried without
compensation cover for damage or loss and at your own risk. A list of these can be found at: http://www.parcel2go.com/shipping-items.aspx#unins.
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not accept
liability for any loss, damage to or damage caused by any of the items on these
lists, whatsoever and howsoever such loss or damage is caused, whether in
contract, breach of statutory duty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.
Please note that whilst you may be able to take out
insurance in respect of any of these items, this does not alter the provisions
set out in this clause 6.11 in any way.
Special Provisions
6.12 (a) We
shall not, in any circumstances, be liable to you for any damage caused arising
directly or indirectly as a result of any of the Excepted Risks.
(b) If at any time we are prevented or
delayed from starting, carrying out or completing any of the Services because
of a strike, lock out, labour dispute, weather conditions, traffic congestion,
mechanical breakdown or obstruction of any public or private road or highway or
any other cause beyond our control, you shall have no claim for damages against
us for any loss that you may suffer as a result PROVIDED that, where the delay
is caused by the mechanical breakdown of one of our vehicles, we shall use our best
endeavours to provide a replacement vehicle with the minimum delay practicable.
(c) We shall not in any circumstances be
liable for any late delivery or missed delivery or failure to deliver caused by
or contributed to by any deficient or ambiguous labelling of a Consignment and
you agree to be responsible for ensuring that such labelling is clear and
unambiguous.
Your Default
6.13 If our performance of any of our obligations
under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by you or
failure by you to perform any relevant obligation (“Your Default”):
(a) we shall (without limiting our other
rights or remedies) have the right to suspend performance of the Service(s)
until you remedy Your Default and, and we shall have the right to rely on Your
Default if Your Default prevents or delays our performance of any of our
obligations;
(b) we shall not be liable for any costs or
losses that you may suffer that arising directly or indirectly from our failure
or delay to perform any of our obligations; and
(c) you shall reimburse us on written demand
for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by us arising directly or
indirectly from Your Default.
7. International Carriage
7.1 If we are requested to collect from, or
deliver a Consignment to, a country outside of the United Kingdom our terms of
liability (subject to clause 7.2 below) shall be governed by the relevant
provisions of the Convention on the Contract for International Carriage of
Goods by Road as set out in the Schedule to the Carriage of Goods by Road Act
1965 (as amended) (“the CMR Regulations”) and, in particular, articles 17
onwards and those provisions shall be deemed to be incorporated into this
Agreement and will apply in place of any inconsistent terms within this
Agreement. We can provide a copy of these provisions if requested, but even if
these are not requested you will be deemed to have read, understood and agreed
to them and their incorporation into this Agreement.
7.2 If the carriage of any Consignment occurs
by air travel and involves stopping in a country other than the country of
departure then the Montreal Convention as amended shall be generally applicable
to such part of the carriage as occurs by air and, in particular, our maximum
liability in respect of loss of or damage to any such Consignment during air
travel shall be limited to the amount set out in the Montreal Convention (namely
£1,870 per ton of the gross weight (i.e. including any and all packaging) of
the Consignment).
7.3 We shall not be responsible for any local
customs charges, import taxes or duties or any similar charge(s) incurred
through our carriage and/or delivery of any Consignment and you must satisfy
yourself as to whether any of these charges will become due, and if so in what
amounts, before completing an order with us. If any such charges become due as
a result of our carriage and/or delivery of a Consignment on your behalf and
are charged to us by any competent authority you agree to reimburse us fully in
respect of the same within 7 days of our demand.
7.4 The provisions at clause 8.6 shall apply
to this clause 7.

Service(s) provided by us in accordance with the payment terms set out in the

bonus credit shall be separately recorded and the total balance of these
credits shall be shown in your account through our website.

the Service Order shall be deducted from the balance. If such deduction would result
in a negative balance then you shall make up the difference in accordance with
the provisions of clause 10 (Payment).We may set a minimum Prepay limit from
time to time on any credit payments made to your Prepay account and these will
be notified to you through our website (currently £20).

(including in order to pay for services).

payment on account you may request a refund. The procedure for requesting a
refund from your Prepay balance or otherwise is set out in clause 8 above In such cases the
