space required to carry the shipment. We do not deliver to post office
boxes.
- Fees,
taxes and other costs. You agree to pay the transportation fees between
the two locations specified on the B/L in accordance with the fees in
effect at the time of the transportation or as separately agreed with you.
Our fees apply to the greatest weight of the physical and volumetric
weight (calculated with the volumetric conversion report: length x width x
height (cm) divided by 6000) and we may reweigh and re-measure any
shipment in order to confirm this calculation. You will pay or refund RomanianShipping
all transportation fees, warehouse
taxes, special handling fees, customs taxes as well as other fees owed for
the services we have provided or contracted on your behalf, as well as all
claims, damages, fines and necessary expenses should the shipment be
deemed inacceptable for transportation, as per section 6. Even though you
have provided us certain payment instructions or agreed with the receiver
or a third party to pay the amount of the transportation and/or any other
fees, customs duties or additional costs, we assume the right to collect
these costs from you should the receiver, the importer or third party
refuse to make such payment. RomanianShipping will return your shipment to you, whereas
you will bear all the fees and the transportation. Should you too refuse
to pay, within 30 days from a printed or electronic notice, RomanianShipping
shall have the right to withhold
the shipped goods without being liable to you or anyone else. By this
contract, you allow RomanianShipping to be an intermediary agent for customs
clearance and transit. If RomanianShipping subcontracts this activity, you agree RomanianShipping
is free to designate a customs
agent to perform the clearance. If the customs authorities request
additional documentation to confirm the import / export or customs
clearance operation, it is your responsibility to provide it at your own
expense. In case you wish that the customs clearance operation be
conducted at a customs agency that is different from the one we do
business with, you shall bear all the additional transit expenses.

- The
Liability of RomanianShipping . RomanianShipping signs the contract with you on the
premise that its liability is strictly limited to direct loss and to
kg/lb. limits under this section. All other types of losses or damages are
excluded (including but not limited to loss of profit, interest, future
business), even if such loss is special or indirect and even if we have
been informed of such risk of such loss or damage before or after the
shipment was accepted, as long as you can be insured against special
risks. Should a shipment be transported by a combined method (air and land
or any other method of transportation), loss or damage will be deemed to
have occurred during air transport unless otherwise demonstrated. RomanianShipping
’s liability regarding any transported shipment is limited, without
prejudice to section 7, to the shipment’s declared or real monetary value
and will be not more than US $100 per shipment or US $20 / kg or US $9.07
/ lb. for shipments transported in part or in whole by air, pursuant to
the provisions of the Warsaw Agreement of 1929, that govern loss or damage
liability coverage, or US $10 / kg or US $ 4.54 / lb. for shipments
transported entirely by land (does not apply for the United States) if
they are transited under the provisions of the Convention on the Contract
for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) of 1956, for partial
or total loss or damage of the shipment. Should your shipment be over 60
days delayed, is the client can provide proof that he has suffered loss
due to our delay, our liability is limited to refunding the duties
(amounts) that have been paid to carry out the shipment (proportional to
the entire shipment or to a fraction of the affected shipment). Claims are
limited to one single claim per shipping, which will be answered
completely and definitively for any losses or damages related to the
shipment in question. Should you deem these limits are insufficient, you
are entitled to make a special statement of value and request insurance in
accordance with the description indicated under section 13 or buy your own
insurance. Should no insurance be available to you, you will incur all
risks of loss or damages.
- Shipment
Insurance (not valid for documents). RomanianShipping can provide you an insurance covering the
real money value related to physical loss or damages to the shipment
provided you fill out the pertinent section regarding insurance on the B/L
and pay the insurance premium. The shipment insurance does not cover
indirect losses or damages nor losses or damages caused by delays. ROMANIANSHIPPING
