SHIPPING PROTECTION
We value your business and hope that we can carry out your forthcoming shipment. Whilst we take every care to ensure that your vehicle and belongings arrive safely at their destination we strongly recommend that you take advantage of our Standard Liability shipment protection. We are insured with Royal and Sun Alliance to back this protection.
We will look after your vehicle to the best of our ability but unfortunately accidents do occasionally happen. Naturally there have to be some conditions and exclusions and there are some circumstances that we cannot accept liability for. Clause 4 of our contract clearly sets out our responsibility to you and clause 11 sets out the restrictions and conditions of our liability commitment.
In order for us to accept responsibility under our Standard Liability commitment you must declare to us the value of your vehicle and sign a completed pre-shipment vehicle condition report which we will forward to you. If you do not give us a valuation or sign a pre-shipment vehicle condition report then our liability will default to Limited Liability under Clause 9.2. The declared value should represent the full replacement value at destination. The cost of shipment (on Limited Liability as per clause 9.2 of our contract) is that which appears on our individual quotation to you.
Exclusions include:
- Any existing damage/faults to the car – a pre-shipment condition report shows any existing damage/faults.
- Any electrical or mechanical defects or breakdown or any damage caused by frost.
- Any goods, personal effects or any other items contained within a vehicle and excluding any loss and/or damage caused by such contents to the vehicle.
- Indirect or consequential losses.
- Normal wear and tear.
- Claims made outside the period of cover, 14 days prior to or 14 days after shipment, or where the car is received at destination and signed for as being undamaged.
- Correct Valuation. In the event of the actual value on arrival being greater than the declared value then our liability shall only be such proportion of the loss as the declared value bears to the total value of the vehicle / goods on arrival. See Clause 3.1.1.
- In the event of a claim a £50.00 handling administration fee will be deducted.
We strongly recommend that for peace of mind you protect your vehicle with our Standard Liability shipment protection.
