Conditions whereby hauliers accept liability for loss, misdelivery or damage for goods unless an exception (e.g. inherent vice, Act of God) applies. Liability is limited to £1,300 per tonne not exceeding the value of the consignment. Physical loss, misdelivery or non-delivery must be notified within 7 days and a claim made within 14 days of termination of the transit. Other losses need to be notified and claimed within 28 and 42 days respectively. All liability ends if the goods owner does not commence legal proceedings within one year from commencement of the transit. Liability for consequential loss is capped at the amount of the carriage charges. There is no liability for livestock, bullion, money, precious metals, etc., unless specially agreed.
