Please read all the following conditions carefully. You will be bound by these conditions if we provide services at your request or on your behalf. Please note that:

• Our services are priced based on the exclusions and limitations set out in these conditions;
• To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any loss of or damage to goods during transit, unless you prove that the loss or damage was caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct;
• The conditions provide for various exclusions of liability and limits on our liability for loss of or damage to goods. These exclusions and limits are set out in clause 6;
• The general effect of these provisions is that, even if you prove we have been negligent, you may not be able to recover the full value of any lost or damaged goods;
• Because of these considerations, we recommend that any goods are covered by an appropriate insurance policy taken out by you, or by the owner of the goods; and
• If we store goods for you, you must take out a policy of insurance over those goods (see clause 13).

As security for the payment of any money that is now or in the future owed by the Consignor to the Service Provider the Consignor irrevocably appoints the Service Provider’s director (from time to time) as its duly constituted attorney to execute in the Consignor’s name and as the Consignor’s attorney any real property mortgage, security agreement, or consent to any caveat and to do all things necessary to obtain the registration of any such document.

18.2 If the Service Provider gives a notice under clause 18.1, the parties must meet promptly and, in any event within fourteen days, and each use reasonable endeavours to reach a mutually acceptable solution to alleviate any hardship or unfairness caused to either party as a result of the Force Majeure Event.

19. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM

19.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of these conditions (other than clause 20), the Service Provider will, in any event, be discharged from all liability whatsoever in respect of the Goods unless written notice of a claim or an intended claim (together with particulars of the circumstances on which the claim is based) is given to the Service Provider:

(b) in the case of Goods allegedly lost or Damaged during Storage, within twelve months of the date of removal or attempted removal of the Goods from Storage.

20. APPLICABLE LEGISLATION

20.1 Notwithstanding anything contained in these conditions, the Service Provider will continue to be subject to any terms, conditions, guarantees or warranties implied or imposed by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any other Commonwealth or state legislation but only in so far as such legislation applies and prevents the exclusion or modification of any such term, condition, guarantee or warranty.

20.2 The Service Provider, Consignor and consignee must comply with all Law, including Chain of Responsibility Law.

20.3 The Consignor must not impose any requirement on the Service Provider that would directly or indirectly encourage or require the Service Provider or any person on behalf of the Service Provider to speed, drive while fatigued or otherwise perform the Services in an unsafe manner or in breach of Law.

21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

21.1 The entire agreement between the parties as to the terms on which Services will be provided is contained in these conditions and there are no other understandings, representations or agreements between the parties that are not set out in these conditions.

21.2 The Service Provider will not be bound by any agreement purporting to vary these conditions unless such agreement is in writing and signed on behalf of the Service Provider by an authorised officer of the Service Provider.

22. GENERAL

22.1 These conditions will be construed in accordance with the Law in force in Queensland and the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts.

22.2 The failure of a party to take action to enforce its rights under any agreement incorporating these conditions or the granting of any time or indulgence will not be construed as a waiver of the provision nor as a waiver of the right of the party at a later time to enforce its rights under any agreement incorporating these conditions.

22.3 Where the Consignor or consignee comprise two or more persons, an agreement or obligation to be performed or observed by the Consignor or consignee binds those persons jointly and severally.

22.4 If any provision of these conditions is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will, to the extent that it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, be treated as severed from this agreement, without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
