Тerms & Conditions 

Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all services provided by Speed Trust Logistics. By ordering services, you, as the “Shipper”, agree on your behalf and on behalf of anyone else with an interest in the shipment that these Terms shall apply from the time Speed Trust Logistics accepts the shipment, unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorised officer of Speed Trust Logistics.

Your statutory rights and entitlements under any defined service feature (for which additional payment has been made) are not affected.

1. Definitions
Shipment – All documents or parcels that travel under one waybill and may be carried by any means Speed Trust Logistics chooses, including air, road, or any other carrier.

Waybill – Includes any paper waybill produced by Speed Trust Logistics automated systems or via the Internet, airway bill, or consignment note, and incorporates these Terms.

Every shipment is transported on a limited liability basis as provided herein.

2. Customs, Exports & Imports
Speed Trust Logistics may perform any of the following activities on the Shipper’s behalf in order to provide its services:

Complete documents, amend product or service codes, and pay duties or taxes required under applicable laws and regulations.

Act as Shipper’s forwarding agent for customs and export control purposes, and as Receiver solely for the purpose of designating a customs broker to perform customs clearance and entry.

Redirect the shipment to Receiver’s import broker or another address upon request by any person Speed Trust Logistics reasonably believes to be authorised.

3. Unacceptable Shipments
A shipment is deemed unacceptable if:

It is classified as hazardous material, dangerous goods, or prohibited/restricted articles by IATA, ICAO, any applicable government authority, or other relevant organisation.

No customs declaration is made when required by applicable regulations.

Speed Trust Logistics decides it cannot transport the item safely or legally.

Unacceptable items include, but are not limited to: animals, bullion, currency, bearer negotiable instruments, precious metals and stones, firearms, parts or ammunition, human remains, pornography, and illegal narcotics/drugs.

4. Deliveries & Undeliverable Shipments
Shipments cannot be delivered to PO boxes or postal codes.

Shipments are delivered to the Receiver’s address provided by the Shipper, but not necessarily to the named individual.

Deliveries to addresses with a central receiving area will be delivered to that area.

If delivery is refused, delivery charges unpaid, the shipment undervalued for customs, deemed unacceptable, or if the Receiver cannot be identified or located, Speed Trust Logistics shall use reasonable efforts to return the shipment to the Shipper at the Shipper’s cost.

If return is not possible, Speed Trust Logistics may release, dispose of, or sell the shipment without incurring liability. Proceeds of any sale shall be applied to service charges and related costs, with any balance returned to the Shipper.

5. Inspection Rights
Speed Trust Logistics has the right to open and inspect any shipment without prior notice to the Shipper.

6. Shipment Charges & Billing
Charges are calculated according to the higher of actual or volumetric weight.

Any shipment may be re-weighed or re-measured by Speed Trust Logistics to confirm calculation.

The Shipper shall pay or reimburse Speed Trust Logistics for all charges, storage costs, duties, taxes, fines, damages, and expenses incurred in providing services or if the shipment is deemed unacceptable.

7. Liability
Speed Trust Logistics contracts with the Shipper on the basis that its liability is strictly limited to direct loss only, and to the per kilo/lb limits set out below.

All other types of loss or damage are excluded, including but not limited to loss of profits, income, interest, or future business, even if the risk was brought to Speed Trust Logistics’s attention before or after acceptance.

Where transport involves more than one mode (air, road, or otherwise), it is presumed that loss or damage occurred during the air portion unless proven otherwise.

Liability per shipment is limited to its actual cash value and shall not exceed the greater of:

USD $100, or

USD $20.00/kg or $9.07/lb for shipments by air or other non-road transport, or

USD $10.00/kg or $4.54/lb for shipments by road (not applicable in the US).

Claims are limited to one per shipment. Settlement shall be full and final.

If these limits are insufficient, the Shipper must arrange its own insurance. Otherwise, the Shipper assumes all risks of loss or damage.

8. Claims & Time Limits
All claims must be submitted in writing to Speed Trust Logistics within thirty (30) days of acceptance of the shipment.

Failure to submit within this period releases Speed Trust Logistics from any liability.

9. Shipment Insurance
Transit insurance is not included in shipping rates but is available on request at extra cost.

No shipment shall be deemed insured unless Speed Trust Logistics confirms in writing prior to dispatch.

10. Delayed Shipments
Speed Trust Logistics will make reasonable efforts to deliver according to its regular schedules. However, schedules are not guaranteed and do not form part of the contract. Speed Trust Logistics is not liable for damages or losses caused by delays.

11. Circumstances Beyond Control
Speed Trust Logistics is not liable for any loss or damage arising from events beyond its control, including but not limited to:

Acts of God (earthquake, cyclone, storm, flood, fog)

Force majeure (war, embargo, plane crash)

Defects related to the nature of the shipment

Riot or civil commotion

Acts or omissions of Shipper, Receiver, customs, or other government officials

Industrial action

Electrical or magnetic damage to, or erasure of, electronic or photographic images, data, or recordings

12. International Conventions
