GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ROAD TRANSPORT CMR

Any other terms and regulations of the shipper or consignee shall not apply unless expressly accepted in writing by EXTRAtransport. Signing of the waybill by the shipper, quay personnel and commission agent binds the sender and signing by the stevedores, freight handlers or quay personnel at destination binds the consignee. The consignor warrants to its contracting party, the consignee, that it is aware of and agrees to these terms and conditions, failing which it will reimburse EXTRAtransport for all costs and indemnify it against any possible claim.
2. Loading - Unloading - Weight Unless otherwise stated in writing, the parties expressly agree that loading and unloading shall be done by the consignor or consignee respectively. To the extent that the driver is requested by the consignor or consignee to perform these acts, this is done under the express supervision, control and responsibility of the consignor or consignee respectively. EXTRAtransport bears no liability for damage caused by, and/or during loading and unloading. Unless otherwise stated in writing and to the extent possible and/or necessary, stowage shall be carried out by EXTRAtransport on the basis of the sender's or shipper's instructions given in accordance with the legislation in force according to the route. If the vehicle used by EXTRAtransport or the dunnage applied proves unsuitable because incorrect or incomplete information was provided by the sender or shipper or if the transport packaging is not strong enough to allow correct securing of the load, the costs and damage caused shall be borne in full by the sender for the transport.
Delivery shall take place at the threshold or quay of the buildings if no other place has been agreed. The movement of the vehicle within the premises of the consignor, shipper or consignee is done entirely on the instructions and under the responsibility of the latter. However, EXTRAtransport may oppose these instructions if, in its opinion, local conditions put its vehicle or cargo at risk. If there is no competent person on site at the agreed time of delivery, EXTRAtransport will be instructed to unload the goods to be delivered on site, after which the delivery will be communicated by EXTRAtransport to the sender/client for transport by any means and the latter will be deemed to have accepted this delivery without any reservation. Except in cases where the sender has expressly asked EXTRAtransport to check the gross weight of the cargo within the meaning of Art. 8(3) CMR, the sender remains responsible for any transhipment, even transhipment by axle, observed during transport. The consignor shall reimburse all costs incurred as a result, including damage due to immobilisation of the vehicle and any fines or other legal costs that may arise.
3. Instructions EXTRAtransport's appointees may not accept any instruction or declaration binding EXTRAtransport beyond the limits provided for in respect of: - the value of the goods to be used as a reference in the event of total or partial loss or damage (arts. 23 and 25 CMR) - the delivery periods (Art. 19 CMR) - the cash on delivery instructions (art. 21 CMR) - a special value (art. 24 CMR) or a special interest in delivery (art. 26 CMR). - instructions or declarations relating to dangerous goods (A.D.R.) or goods subject to special regulations.

EXTRAtransport shall not be liable for any indirect damage, including economic loss, consequential damage or immaterial damage.
5. Immobilisation times EXTRAtransport is entitled to compensation for the immobilisation times of the road vehicle. In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, it is assumed that EXTRAtransport will bear the cost of one hour's loading and one hour's unloading. At the end of this hour, EXTRAtransport shall be entitled to compensation for the entire cost arising from this additional immobilisation time. EXTRAtransport shall also be entitled to compensation for the whole of the costs arising from other immobilisation times which, taking into account the circumstances of the transport, exceed the usual duration.
6. Liability EXTRAtransport shall only be liable for damage to the goods transported in accordance with the applicable provisions of the CMR Convention. If, in connection with the transport, damage occurs to other goods in the care of the sender, loader or consignee which are not the goods to be transported, EXTRAtransport shall only be liable for damage attributable to its fault or negligence. In any event and except in cases of intent, the extent of its liability for damage to goods other than those to be transported shall be limited per claim to a maximum of 8.33 STR for each gross kg of weight of the cargo transported.
7. Invoicing - Payments - Pledge/Retention The client is obliged to pay the freight, even if he requests the carrier to collect the freight from the consignee. In the event of cancellation of a journey within 24 hours before commencement of the journey, the full fare remains due to EXTRAtransport. EXTRAtransport may charge an additional fee for pallet exchange. No set-off may be applied between the freight price and any amounts claimed from EXTRAtransport. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, EXTRAtransport's invoices are payable by the due date indicated and without discount, by bank transfer to account number BE52 7330 5805 2409. If the invoice is not paid on its due date and no notice of default is required, the amount still owing will accrue interest at the rate stipulated in the Act of 2 August 2002 on combating late payment in commercial transactions. If interest as referred to in the previous paragraph becomes due, EXTRAtransport shall be entitled ipso jure and without notice of default to the payment of liquidated damages of at least 10% of the amount unpaid by the contracting party. The award of this reasonable compensation of 10% does not exclude the award of any legal costs or any other proven recovery costs. In the absence of payment on the due date, all invoices not due shall also become immediately due and payable in full by operation of law and without notice of default. EXTRAtransport's various claims on the client, even if they relate to different consignments and to goods no longer in its possession, constitute a single and indivisible claim to the extent of which EXTRAtransport may exercise all its rights and privileges.
Furthermore, EXTRAtransport may exercise a pledge and/or lien on any material and/or goods it dispatches, transports, stores or holds in any way to cover all sums owed or to be owed by its principal for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding any insolvency, any assignment of claims, any form of attachment and notwithstanding any concurrence, EXTRAtransport may apply set-off or debt novation to EXTRAtransport's obligations to its contracting party and the latter's obligations to EXTRAtransport. This right shall in no way be affected by the notification or service of an insolvency, transfer of debt, any form of attachment or any concurrence.
8. Final provisions In the event of any dispute between the parties, without prejudice to the application of Article 31 paragraph 1 CMR, the courts of EXTRAtransport's registered office shall have jurisdiction. Belgian law shall apply. Should one or more clauses of these general terms and conditions, for whatever reason, be inapplicable, the remaining clauses shall nevertheless remain valid.
