4. GENERAL

a) As long as you keep to these Conditions and subject to Condition 4(b), we will provide the Services which have been agreed by you and us.

b) We will only be able to perform the Services for you if the Consignments are to be collected from an address in the United Kingdom or handed to us at one of our depots in the United Kingdom.

c) We are not a "common carrier" which means amongst other things that we will only accept goods for Transportation under these Conditions.

d) If Conditions 4(b) or 4(c) are not met, we may terminate the Contract immediately.

e) Only these Conditions will apply and not any other terms that you try to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. We will be considered to have given you notice of these Conditions if and as soon as you place an order with, or accept an offer from, us to perform the Services.

f) We may Transport goods by any means and by any route whatsoever.

g) We reserve the right, to inspect all Consignments to ensure that they are compatible with our network and are capable of Transportation to the country of destination within our standard procedures, customs, declarations and handling methods and in compliance with all laws.

h) You acknowledge and agree that all Consignments which are to be delivered to the European Union or Northern Ireland may require a commodity code to be declared within the booking process (see https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff). The commodity code classifies goods for import and export and will enable customs authorities to determine if any taxes and/or duties are payable. If the local customs authority determines that any additional taxes or duties are payable because you have provided us with an incorrect community code for your Consignment, you acknowledge and agree that the customs authority will impose such taxes or duties, which the recipient of the goods will be required to pay. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure that when you place a Service Order for any Consignment which is to be delivered to the European Union or Northern Ireland, you select the correct commodity code and that is it accurate to the best of your knowledge. We accept no responsibility or liability if such additional taxes or duties are payable in such circumstances.

g) 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 (in circumstances where you have purchased Parcel Protection for loss or damage), 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.

If a Court decides that any of these Conditions is not valid or is not enforceable for any purpose, this will not affect the rest of these Conditions.

25. YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS

If you are a Consumer, there are certain terms implied into your Contract which we cannot exclude or limit. For example, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we must supply the Services with reasonable care and skill. This is in addition to your legal rights to claim a refund, re-performance and/or compensation where the services are not in accordance with the Contract.

26. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All rights in any materials (including software) we supply to you and in any methods of work and processes used by us in connection with the Services and the Contract are and will remain our exclusive property. Nothing in these Conditions implies any licence or other permission to use or reproduce any materials, methods or processes unless and to the extent that we expressly agree to this in writing.

27. SEVERANCE

Each of the clauses and sub-clauses of these Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses and sub-clauses will remain in full force and effect.

28. APPLICABLE LAW

The Contract and these Conditions (and any non-contractual claims arising in relation to it or them) will be governed by English Law and any disputes will only be dealt with in the Courts of England and Wales.
