CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE:

13. Except as otherwise provided herein, all claims for loss or damage to goods transported by Carrier shall be presented and handled in accordance with the Carmack Amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 CFR § 370. Shipper or Consignee's failure to comply with the requirements of the Carmack Amendment shall bar any right of direct or indirect recovery of damages from PLC.

14. Absent a contrary representation on said document, a signature by the Consignee on PLC's Delivery Receipt or Bill-of-Lading acknowledges the number of items delivered, and that your shipment was received in good order, except with respect to damage which, despite diligence in the inspection of the goods, is concealed or not readily apparent at the time of delivery. With respect to damage which is concealed or not readily apparent at the time of delivery, shipper and/or consignee shall have 24 hours after the time of delivery to inspect the delivered goods more thoroughly and to notify PLC in writing of any previously concealed or non-apparent damage. Should PLC not be properly and timely notified of said damage, the signature on the delivery receipt or bill of lading serves as conclusive evidence of delivery in good order, and shall subsequently bar any direct or indirect damage claim against PLC.

In the event that PLC is prevented from confirming the quantity of the items to be transported, such as where PLC agrees to transport cargo in a container or trailer previously sealed by the consignor or shipper, PLC shall have no liability for any alleged disparity in the count of the items contained therein if said trailer or container is delivered with the original seal intact. A signature by the Consignee on PLC's Delivery Receipt or Bill of Lading, whereupon the seal number shall be identified, acknowledges that the container or trailer was received by the Consignee with the original seal intact.

In the event that PLC is prevented from confirming the condition of the items to be transported, such as where PLC agrees to transport cargo in a container or trailer previously sealed by the consignor or shipper, PLC shall have no liability for any alleged damage to the cargo transported, absent proof of the condition of the cargo immediately prior to PLC's provision of transportation service and proof of a specific occurrence, such as a vehicular accident, sufficient to establish that said occurrence is clearly responsible for causing the alleged damage.

15. The PLC Waybill contains a Declared Value box, which if filled in, will result in the assessment of an additional charge of $0.60 per $100.00 declared, or any fraction thereof. If the Declared Value box on the Waybill is filled in, recovery in the event of a successful claim or action for loss or damage will not exceed the lesser of the shipper's cost for said goods or the fair market value of the goods damaged or lost, and shall not exceed the amount specified in the Declared Value box, proportionately reduced by the percentage of the shipment lost or damaged. In the event that the Declared Value box is not filled in, recovery in the event of a successful claim or action for loss or damage will be limited to the lesser of the shippers' cost for said goods or the fair market value of the lost or damaged goods, which shall not exceed a maximum of $0.50 per pound of the goods damaged or lost.

16. International shipments may be afforded Insurance Coverage for an additional charge of $.75 per $100.00 of stated value. If requested, recovery in the event of a successful claim or action for loss or damage will not exceed the lesser of the shipper's wholesale cost for said goods or the fair market value of the goods. Any assessment or paid claim will be based on the actual loss incurred and not the proportionate percentage of the shipment lost, damaged, or claimed.

17. Irrespective of whether the Declared Value box is filled in or not, in the event that Carrier agrees to transport the following commodities, such transportation is provided under the condition that Carrier's cargo liability is limited to $0.05 cents per pound for damage, destruction of property or shortage/loss:

For the purpose of this provision, the following commodities shall be deemed “Other Than New”:

(c) Property bought over the internet from companies, including, but not limited to, eBay, Amazon and others, which is purchased as used merchandise.

18. Nothing stated herein shall relieve Shipper/Consignee of their duty to take all reasonable steps to mitigate against claimed damages. In the event that goods allegedly damaged can be repaired for a sum less than the sum to which Shipper/Consignee would otherwise be entitled from PLC should PLC be proven liable for said damage, Shipper's/Consignee's recovery from PLC shall be reduced to said repair cost. In the event that goods allegedly damaged by PLC could be lawfully sold in their damaged condition, PLC's potential liability for damaging said goods shall be reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value of said damaged goods. In the event that goods allegedly lost by PLC can be reasonably replaced for a sum less than the sum to which Shipper/Consignee would otherwise be entitled from PLC should PLC be proven liable for said loss, Shipper's/Consignee's recovery from PLC shall be reduced to said replacement cost.

19. If any portion of a shipment for which a claim of loss and/or damage is made, is recovered and returned to the shipper or consignee, in good order, prior to reimbursement, then any pending claim in that regard is nullified to the extent of the portion of the shipment so recovered.

20. All freight charges must be paid in full for PLC to consider or settle any claim for loss or damage to said freight.

PLC will make every effort to keep both consignee and consignor informed when shipments are affected, but is not obligated to do so.

Notice of rejection of the shipment shall be provided to the Shipper, Consignee, and Third Party, in writing by the Carrier, with a request for disposition. If no response is received within thirty (30) days, the Carrier may sell the goods to satisfy its transportation lien, without further notice to the parties. In the event sale and/or salvage of the merchandise on hand is not adequate to satisfy the transportation and/or storage fees incurred, the Shipper will be held liable and responsible for the balance due the Carrier.

23. In no event shall PLC be liable for lost profits, loss of use, loss of marketability, loss of goodwill or any other consequential loss or item of special damage, including, but not limited to, any claims based on or arising from liquidated damages, chargebacks, and/or set-offs.
