(a) The services contracted under this agreement shall be undertaken “at limited carrier’s risk” (pursuant to the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017) hereinafter referred to as “the Act” unless:

the Contracting Party or their agent has stipulated on this or any other document relating to the carriage of the goods that “these goods are to be carried at ‘owner’s risk’.” This means that the Carrier will pay no compensation to the Contracting Party if any of the goods are lost or damaged unless it can be proven that said damage or loss was intentional; or.

there is a written agreement, signed by the Contracting Party and owner, stipulating that goods are carried at the “owner’s risk”.

(b) In either case (but subject in the case of a contract “at limited carrier’s risk to the limitation contained in Section 259 of the Act)

the Forwarder shall not be under any liability, howsoever caused or arising and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) whether as a result of the negligence of the Forwarder or otherwise for any damage to, loss, deterioration, mis-delivery, delay in delivery or non-delivery of the goods (whether the goods are or have been in the possession of the Forwarder or not) nor for any instructions, advice, information or service given or provided to any person, whether in respect of the goods or any other thing or matter, nor for any consequential or indirect loss, loss of market or consequences of delay; and

the Contracting Party will indemnify the Forwarder against all claims of any kind whatsoever, howsoever caused or arising and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) whether caused or arising as a result of the negligence of the Forwarder or otherwise, brought by any person in connection with any matter or thing done said or omitted by the Forwarder in connection with the goods.

With this in mind, please note our prices do not include insurance cover as we strictly cart at "owners risk". Please discuss with your home and contents insurer if your policy includes goods in transit.

Please note that while we can arrange cargo insurance for transit on your behalf, this cost is not included in any quotation unless explicitly specified
