Except as otherwise provided on individual Web Rate Pages (TLIs), a
shipment, which for any reason, is refused or rejected by the
Consignee at destination, or which cannot be delivered, despite
Carrier's diligent efforts, for reasons not ascribable to the
Carrier within 5 (five) business days of notification to Consignee
that the shipment has arrived and is ready for delivery, will be
considered "refused" or "unclaimed" and will be SBJ to the following
provisions.
a. If, after the expiration of any Free Time specified, delivery of
shipment to Consignee is ultimately accomplished, all third party
warehouse, storage and/or redelivery cartage charges (when
applicable) which have been incurred and/or advanced by the
Carrier will be assessed and collected from the Consignee,
regardless of whether the shipment was prepaid or collect, unless
Shipper shall otherwise claim responsibility for such charges in
writing.
b. In all cases of refused or unclaimed shipments, Carrier
will immediately notify Shipper of such status by
telephone, facsimile, telex or other electronic means
and request instructions for the disposition of the shipment.
c. If Carrier does NOT receive instructions for the disposition of
shipment from Shipper within any Free Time specified, Carrier
reserves the right to transfer the refused or unclaimed cargo
to a public storage. All third party charges incurred and
assessed as a result of such action, including but not limited
to, storage, transfer, terminal, cartage or customs charges will
be for the account of cargo. Once placed in a public storage
facility, Carrier's liability will terminate and a lien for all
unpaid freight and additional charges shall be placed upon the
cargo for Carrier's account.
d. Notice of arrival of shipment at B/L destination as described in
this Rule shall be given to Consignee by telephone, facsimile or
telex when possible or by deposit of letter or post card, properly
addressed to Consignee, with the United States or Foreign Postal
Service.
