Cargo Loss

ABC will assume liability for cargo loss and damage claims under the federal laws applicable to common carriage in effect on the date of the shipment and the terms and conditions of the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading, except as shown herein.

ABC will investigate and dispose of cargo loss and damage claims under common carrier provisions as set forth in 49 C.F.R Part 1005, and NMF 100 Series, Items 300100 through 300155

Section 1 - Liability Limitations

Except as otherwise specifically provided, in the event of loss of and/or damage to any shipment, ABC's liability will not exceed the lesser of........

1.  ...the actual value of the article.
2. ...$1000.00 per shipment
3. ...any general statutory or regulatory cargo liability limitations.


ABC shall not  be liable, and hereby disclaims responsibility, for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages or other costs, fees, or charges of any kind arising from any claims filed hereunder, whether disclosed or not.

Section 2 - Optional Excess Liability Coverage

Shipper may request ABC liability coverage in excess of $1000.00 per shipment, by indicating in writing on the bill of lading at time of shipment the total dollar amount of excess coverage requested.  Excess coverage will be applied on a per pound per package basis. The maximum excess liability is $1,000,000 per shipment.  However, excess liability coverage will not apply on any amount that exceeds the actual value of the goods.

ABC will assess an additional charge of $0.50 per each $100.00 value in excess of the initial maximum liability, subject to minimum excess coverage charge of $50.00.  Such charge is in addition to all other lawful freight charges.  Charges are to be paid by the party responsible for payment of the otherwise applicable freight charges.  NOTE:  A statement of value without an express request for excess liability coverage will not increase ABC's liability.  And charges for excess liability coverage will not be assessed.
