All shipments moving pursuant to and rated under the rules, regulations,
rates and charges named in this Tariff or in NRAs or Rate Tariffs
governed by this Tariff are predicated on Carrier's liability NOT
exceeding the limits specified in the Carrier's regular B/L (see Rule 8)
and/or the provisions named herein.
a. Overocean Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between POL
and POD, Carrier's liability shall be determined in accordance with the
clauses of the Carrier's regular B/L (See Rule 8). Carrier will NOT
accept, NOR be liable for, any liability greater than such limits.
b. Inland Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between U.S.
Points of Origin or Destination and U.S. POL or POD as part of a
through movement, the terms and conditions of Argos Group, Inc.'s
regular B/L, specifying that the liability for the cargo during such
portion of the through transportation rests with the underlying inland
Carrier, applies. Argos Group, Inc. will NOT accept, NOR be liable
for, any liability greater than the such limits.
c. Neither any oral declaration, nor any statement of value for
governmental or Customs purposes, nor presentation of invoices for use
in foreign Customs, nor collection of C.O.D. amounts or other purposes,
nor the declaration of value for insurance, nor instructions to the
Carrier to insure, shall be deemed a "declaration of value" as
provided in paragraphs a. and b. above which would increase Carrier's
stipulated liability, nor shall any such offering supplement or amend
in any way the liability of the Carrier for the cargo at the time of
shipment, on which charges for transportation services are based.
d. Regardless of the value declared by the Shipper, Carrier's liability
will NOT exceed the actual value of the cargo or the actual damages
sustained when less.
e. Where rates or charges are specified in this Tariff as applying on an
Ad Valorem Basis, the value used in assessing freight charges shall be
the invoice value shown on the Shipping Documents and B/L.
