Terms and Conditions
V3 Logistics is a free service that simplifies the shipping of freight via LTL
transportation. The web site provides an instant comparison of numerous freight
carriers or shipping companies. The enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Customer") agree to these TERMS AND
CONDITIONS which no agent or employee of the parties may alter. These TERMS AND
CONDITIONS shall apply to this and all future shipments scheduled by Customer,
unless and until these TERMS AND CONDITIONS are altered or amended by the
Organization's issuance of new TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
The General Rules Tariffs, set forth by the carriers provided as solutions with
the Organization, will take precedence in all legal proceedings and when
applicable, will take precedence over the Organization's TERMS AND CONDITIONS
stated herein. If not stated within the carrier's General Rules Tariff, the
Organization's TERMS AND CONDITIONS as stated herein shall apply. In the case
of conflict between the TERMS AND CONDITIONS contained herein and those set
forth by the individual selected carrier's General Rules Tariff, the selected
carrier's General Rules Tariff shall control. All Terms, including, but not
limited to, all the limitations of liability, shall apply to the selected
carrier and their agents and contracted carriers.
V3 Logistics is a freight broker and NOT a freight carrier. V3 is a facilitator
for those customers that require shipping on a regular or periodic basis. The
Organization reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse any shipment
at any time.
1. Bills of Lading
All Bills of Lading are NON-NEGOTIABLE and have been prepared by the enrolled
Customer or by ("The Organization") on behalf of the Customer and shall be
viewed as prepared by the Customer. Any unauthorized alteration or use of Bills
of Lading or tendering of shipments to any carrier other than that designated
by the Organization, or the use of any Bill of Lading not authorized or issued
by the Organization shall VOID the Organization's obligations to make any
payments relating to this shipment and VOID all rate quotes.
2. Necessary Documentation
The Customer is required to use the Organization's system generated Bill of
Lading. If the Customer does not complete all the documents required for
carriage, or if the documents which they submit are not appropriate or contain
incorrect information for the services, pick up or destination requested, the
Customer hereby instructs the Organization, where permitted by law, to
complete, correct or replace the documents for them at the expense of the
Customer. However, the Organization is not obligated to do so.
3. Payment
All charges are payable in U.S Dollars and are due at the time the shipment is
booked. V3 Logistics accepts all major Credit cards as acceptable payment
methods. Customers that may require billing to pay their bill are first subject
to credit approval. The organization intends to perform a credit check based on
the information that is provided by the Customer at the time this arrangement
is made. Any charges and adjustments will be automatically debited to the
Customer’s credit card or bank account. The Customer shall be liable for all
charges referring to the shipment, including but not limited to transportation,
fuel and other applicable accessorial charges, including all adjustments issued
by the carrier. The organization reserves the right to amend or adjust the
original quoted amount if the original quoted amount was based upon incorrect
information provided at the time of the original quote or if additional
services by the carrier were required to perform the pick up, transportation
and delivery functions.
4. Claims and Limitations of Liability
V3 Logistics is not liable for any loss, damage, or miss-delivery caused by the
carrier, or the acts of the customer. If a claim arises between the customer
and the carrier, V3 will assist in the resolution of the specific claim through
mediation. It will ultimately be responsibility of the party that damaged or
lost the freight to pay for any claim at hand. All claims in reference to
product damage must be brought forth within six months of the delivery date.
Any claims made after this period must be directed to the carrier responsible
for the shipment of the product.
5. Rates
LTL rates are based on the freight class as determined by the NMFC (National
Motor Freight Classification) and are weight based. Pricing will also be
determined by the origin and destination zip codes, along with all accessorial
charges that may apply. All displayed transit times are estimates only and do
not include day of pickup. LTL pickup dates are not guaranteed.
