You acknowledge that the transportation of any freight, shipment or good using the Service is performed exclusively by the carrier, and not performed by Freightera, and as such, you agree: (a) that Freightera is under no circumstances responsible for the physical whereabouts, control, condition, and/or delivery of any goods being shipped using the Service; and (b) to hold Freightera and the other Excluded Parties (as defined herein) harmless for services, acts or omissions (including related to the handling and transportation of freight) performed by the carrier.You agree to pay any and all fees due to Freightera for your use of the Service regardless of whether you are a carrier or shipper and regardless of whether any dispute may or may not occur, or has occurred, between you and any carrier and/or shipper.

You acknowledge and agree that Freightera, being only a freight broker, acts as an intermediary between the customer, carrier and/or shipper by providing information related to the carrier and/or shipper including access to rates and services provided by carriers and shippers, and as such its liability is limited by these Terms to the extend allowed under applicable law.

We require that all carriers using the System be fully licenced, bonded and insured. That said, it is the sole responsibility of the carrier, not Freightera, to ensure that licences, bonds and insurance remains in effect at all times, and both carrier and shipper agree, by using the System, to specifically exclude Freightera from any responsibility or liability related to carrier licensing, bonding or insurance.

You agree that Freightera and the other Excluded Parties are not liable for carrier or shipper service failures related to, damage to, or loss of shipment or freight. You acknowledge and agree that Freightera does not accept any good or shipment from any party using the Service whether on consignment or on any other term, does not at any time hold, handle, store or transport freight, shipment or any good, and does not otherwise take control of any freight, shipment or good, and that a shipper using the service consigns (signs over) their shipment directly to the carrier. You agree that the services provided by Freightera through the Service are limited to brokering of freight between the parties being the carriers and shipper, and they are processed, secured, executed, and recorded as a service within the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

Freightera shall not be responsible or liable for any decisions made in reliance on such information, or for the conduct or service performed by any carrier listed in the system.

You agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy of all information you provide Freightera through or while using the Service. You agree that Freightera, and its management, directors, employees, agents, contractors, consultants, advisors, affiliates, associates, and/or subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘Excluded Parties’) as they may be from time to time, are not responsible and are not liable for any damages, fees, fines, levies, taxes, tariffs, penalties, sanctions, other monetary fees or dues, or adverse consequence whether or not of a monetary nature that you (and/or your management, directors, employees, agents, contractors, consultants, advisors, affiliates, associates, and/or subsidiaries, as applicable and as they may be from time to time) incur or experience arising from or related to any inaccuracy in the information you provide to Freightera through or while using the Service.

You further agree that the Excluded Parties are not liable for any misclassification of freight or NMFC classification mistakes made by any of the Excluded Parties and/or the Service. You acknowledge that freight classification, and in particular NMFC classification, are nuanced and may be prone to errors depending on the completeness of the information provided, and that Freightera will make its best effort in good faith to correctly classify the shipment or the NMFC classification.

You agree that Freightera and the Excluded Parties are not and will not be liable for any loss, or and/or missed, delayed, or non-delivery of a shipment, including but not limited to those caused by:

(a) an Act of God, war, accident or peril experienced while shipment occurs (whether on the ground, sea or air), mechanical/equipment issues or failure (including those related to truck, aircraft, ship, and equipment), adverse weather conditions, riot, strike, labour dispute, civil disorder, terrorist activity, quarantine, or intervention, act or omission of any governmental or public authority (including of any customs agency or authority);

(b) the act, default or omission by a customer or any other party who claims interest in the shipment;

(c) the nature of or any defect in the shipment;

(d) a shipper or carrier’s violation of these Terms or the terms and conditions contained in the Bill of Lading or of the carrier’s General Rules Tariff (including but not limited to insufficient or improper addressing, marking, classification, packing, securing, or failure to observe any of the rules relating to shipments not acceptable for transportation or shipping);

(e) Any of the Excluded Partie’s failure to comply with the delivery or other instructions from the customer or for the acts or omissions of any person; or

(f) any circumstance that is beyond Freightera’s control.

Subject to the limitations of liability contained in these terms, the Bill of Lading and the Carrier’s General Rules Tariff, Freightera shall only be liable for loss, damage, missed delivery, or non-delivery caused by Freightera’s own gross negligence. Freightera’s liability therefore shall be limited to the fees that Freightera has earned with respect to the subject shipment.

The shipper agrees to that neither Freightera or the Carrier can be held liable for consequential damages, or other losses the shipper may have experienced as a consequence of transit times, which are always estimated, being greater the than? expected.

In no event shall Freightera be liable nor will any account be credited if the shipper does not use the Freightera Bill of Lading.

All shipments are covered under the Carrier’s limited liability coverage as noted below based on Full Truck Load (TL), Less Than a Truck Load (LTL), Intermodal (IM), Less than Container Load (LCL), Container Load (CL), Air, and other service types that may be added from time to time (see below). Consignee agrees to inspect the shipment at the time of delivery and document any damage on the delivery bill). Failure to notate damage may cause forfeiture of the liability claim. The Carrier’s liability coverage only covers damage or loss of the freight shipped, not lost time, labor, or shipping costs. Some carriers will ask the customers to include the shipping cost (this is what they pay to us) in the claim as well.

Truck load (TL) Carriers are required by law to carry a minimum of $100,000.00 of cargo insurance. This coverage protects the Customer from theft, loss, or damage due to fire or vehicle accident. It does not cover loss caused during normal transit. It is assumed that damage occurring independent of an accident involving the vehicle is a consequence of improper or inadequate packing or crating.

For Less than Truckload (LTL), every booked freight shipment comes with limited liability coverage. The amount of coverage is determined by the carrier and based upon the commodity type. It covers a certain dollar amount per pound of freight. In some situations, the included liability coverage may be less than the value of the shipped goods. If you need full coverage, be sure to state the insurance value and verify with Freightera that additional insurance has been purchased and is included in rate quote.

By booking a shipment with additional insurance through Freightera, you agree that you have been claims free for 3 years, and you accept the insurance terms and exclusions.
