General conditions

 

1.         General
1.1       Primary the ‘’Ned. Expeditievoorwaarden’’ (Dutch Dispatch Conditions), registered by Fenex at the Registry of the District Court in Breda, the last version apply. In case of storage the Physical Distribution Conditions apply, registered at the Registry of the District Court in Amsterdam. The conditions are open to public inspection and will be forwarded by us upon request
1.2       Secondary the Treaty concerning the agreement for international road transport of goods (CMR) as well as the ‘’Algemene Vervoers Condities’’ (General Transport Conditions (A.V.C. 2002)) apply.
Our international transports are carried out by our charters, in accordance with the CMR. Our national transports are done by our charters on the basis of the AVC.
1.3       Emphatically we point out that these conditions have nothing to do with insurance of the goods, but they organise liability. Goods are not insured during their transport. Also these conditions exclude indemnification due to consequential damage, extra freight costs for the replacement of a freight, travel costs, expertise costs, turnover loss etc
1.4       Visible damage has to be noted down on the bill of lading. Invisible damage has to be submitted in written within 7 days after the signature for good reception has been given. The AVC / CMR conditions apply here.

2.         Transport orders
2.1       All shipments should be provided with a complete filled-in transport document.
2.2       Goods have to be clearly marked / stickered, packed transport worthy and shouldn’t stick out outside the pallet. Welsi is not liable for extra costs, which arise because of the lacking thereof and will charge the principal for this.
2.3       The maximum weight of an euro pallet is 700kg. When an euro pallet is heavier than 700kg, 2 euro pallets will be charged. For a block pallet the maximum weight is 875kg. One loading metre is 1750 kg.
2.4       If more space is used than was stated, besides the extra space also possible extra costs may be charged resulting from the adjustment of our planning.
