GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR FREIGHT FORWARDING by Intercross Management Pty Ltd (hereafter referred to as \u201cIntercross\u201d)<\/p>

I. APPLICABILITY These General Terms and Conditions apply to all Freight Forwarding Services performed by Intercross, its sister, holding or associated companies. Freight Forwarding Services means services of any kind relating to the carriage, consolidation, storage, handling, packing or distribution of the goods as well as ancillary and advisory services in connection therewith, including but not limited to customs and fiscal matters, declaring the goods for official purposes, procuring insurance of the goods and collecting or procuring payment or documents relating to the goods. In the absence of specific terms and conditions that may be issued by local Intercross locations (\u201cRegional Terms and Conditions\u201d) the present General Terms and Conditions are the governing terms and conditions of services that override any conflicting provisions even when Intercross does not expressly object to their inclusion. In the event that any Intercross country office issues Regional Terms and Conditions, those will take precedence in their entirety.<\/p>

II. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT Unless a local office has issued independent terms and conditions all offers made by Intercross, its sister, holding or associated companies are based on and subject to these General Terms and Conditions. The order must be given to Intercross in writing and contain the following instructions: \u2022 kind of merchandise and descriptions or classification (e.g. dangerous goods) \u2022 value of the goods \u2022 type of packing with contents, numbers, quantity and weight (gross\/net) of packages \u2022 addresses of shipper\/consignee \u2022 place of delivery\/receipt \u2022 general instructions and conditions in respect of shipment, method of transportation (sea\/air\/road\/express\/groupage\/breakbulk\/containerized cargo, etc.) \u2022 special instructions in respect of customs clearance, issue of documents, etc. In case of verbally given orders these must be confirmed by letter, fax or email. It is the responsibility of the customer to transmit the above required information correct and complete. Intercross shall carry out its services according to the customer\u2019s instructions if accepted.<\/p>

III. DELIVERY HINDRANCES If at any time Intercross\u2019 performance is or is likely to be affected by any hindrance or risk of any kind (including but not limited to condition of goods) not arising from any fault or neglect of Intercross and which cannot be avoided by the exercise of reasonable endeavors, Intercross may abandon the carriage of the goods under the respective contract and, where reasonably possible, make the goods or any part of them available to the customer at a place which Intercross may deem safe and convenient, whereupon delivery shall be deemed to have been made, and the responsibility of Intercross in respect of such goods shall cease. In any event, Intercross shall be entitled to the agreed remuneration under the contract and the customer shall pay any additional costs resulting from the above mentioned circumstances.<\/p>

IV. LIABILITY<\/p>

1. Intercross organizes the freight forwarding services as agent for the Customer at its own discretion and shall devote its best attention to the organization of the transport, carriage and storage of the entrusted goods. Intercross shall select the appropriate means and mode of transport, as well as storage locations and shall be liable for its accurate and conscientious organization only.<\/p>

2. Intercross is not liable for acts and omissions by third parties, such as, but not limited to carriers, warehousemen, stevedores, port authorities and other freight forwarders, unless Intercross has failed to exercise due diligence in selecting, instructing or supervising such third parties.<\/p>

3. These General Terms and Conditions apply whenever any claim is made against an employee, agent or other person Intercross engaged for the performance of the service (including any independent contractor) whether such claims are founded in contract or in tort, and the aggregate liability of Intercross and such employees, agents or other persons shall not exceed the limit applicable to the service concerned as expressly agreed between Intercross and the customer or following from these General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>

4. Intercross is authorized to carry out the shipment of the goods by substituting himself for the third party he would otherwise deal with on the costumer\u2019s behalf. If he makes use of this right, he has the rights and obligations of a carrier pertaining to the shipment. In such case Intercross is liable for damages to and loss of the goods in its care and custody. With respect to services other than carriage of goods such as, but not limited to, storage, handling, packing or distribution of the goods, as well as ancillary services in connection therewith, Intercross shall be liable only in case such services have been performed by Intercross itself using its own facilities or employees or Intercross has made an express undertaking to assume liability.<\/p>

V. EXCLUSIONS, ASSESMENT AND MONETARY LIMITS OF LIABILLITY<\/p>

\u2022 circumstances which Intercross could not avoid and the consequence of which it was unable to prevent.<\/p>

3. If Intercross is liable in respect of loss following from delay, such liability shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the remuneration relating to the service giving rise to the delay. The aforementioned releases from and limitations of liability do not apply, if the damage was caused by intent or gross negligence of Intercross or its management staff or by violation of fundamental duties of the contract in which case damage claims shall be limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Releases from and limitations of liability shall be considered as \u201caforementioned releases from and limitations of liability\u201d within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions only if they are provided herein in addition to the law applicable, to the exclusion of releases from and limitations of liability provided in statutory provisions or in international conventions. In particular this provision shall neither extend Intercross\u2019 liability nor its responsibility for agents, servants, employees, crew-members or other third parties to the benefit of the customer beyond the content of provisions.<\/p>

Otherwise, the conditions of the goods shall be deemed as delivered in the agreed upon condition. The same shall apply to claims resulting from delay if the consignee does not send due reservations in writing within 21 days after delivery of the goods.<\/p>
