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: When cargo is in transport between POL
and POD, Carrier's liability shall be determined in accordance with
the clauses of the Carrier's applicable B/L (See Rule 8). If the
Shipper desires Carrier to accept a higher liability limit than that
specified in its B/L, Shipper MUST so stipulate such desire to
Carrier, in writing, prior to tender of cargo to Carrier at origin.
Such additional liability will ONLY be assumed by the Carrier upon
the payment of an additional charge of $0.85 per each $100 of
declared valuation, SBJ to a deductible of $8000.00. This Ad Valorem
charge shall be in ADDITION to all other otherwise applicable rates
and charges assessed under this Tariff or in any NRA or Rate Tariff
TLI governed by this Tariff.
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 Cars USA Shipping, LLC'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. Cars USA Shipping, LLC
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.
