3. 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 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. If a substitute form of Bill of Lading is needed to complete delivery of this shipment and the Organization completes that document, the terms of this Bill of Lading will govern. The Organization is not liable to the Customer or to any other person for any actions taken on behalf of the Customer under this provision.

Overpayments do not accrue interest and are subject to Florida State Law. In the event the Organization retains an attorney or collection agency to collect unpaid charges or for the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions, all unpaid charges will be subject to a late payment penalty of 31% and Customer shall also be liable for all attorneys and collection agency fees incurred, together with related costs and expenses.

All Customers are subject to credit approval. The Organization intends to perform a credit check based on the information provided at the time of enrollment by the Customer. The amount of credit, if any, granted to the Customer is at the sole discretion of the Organization.

The Customer shall be liable, jointly and severally, for all charges payable on account of such Customer's shipment, including but not limited to transportation, fuel and other applicable accessorial charges, including all adjustments issued by the carrier(s) after the shipment, and all duties, customs assessments, governmental penalties and fines, taxes, and Organization's attorney fees and legal costs allocable to this shipment and/or all disputes related thereto.

Note: As part of the anti-terrorism rules / regulations, inspection of freight that moves cross border (to or from Canada or Mexico) may result in carriers (LTL, TL and Intermodal) applying charges to shipments inspected by US Customs. These random inspections are not known at time of shipment and therefore are excluded from all quotes. Any applicable costs associated with random border inspections will be the responsibility of the customer.

5. Claims and Limitations of Liability

                       
Customer acknowledges that Freightz.com is a Freight Broker and not the actual Freight Carrier. Customer also agrees that the services provided by Freightz.com were limited to brokering of freight between the parties  of Customer and Carrier and that this service was secured, executed, processed and recorded as a service within the State of Florida. The Customer acknowledges that the transportation of their freight is performed exclusively by the Freight Carrier and not performed by Freightz.com Understanding this, the Customer agrees to hold Freightz.com harmless for services (i.e.
transportation of freight) performed by the Freight Carrier. Customer  agrees to pay Freightz.com per agreement regardless of any disputes that may or may not occur with the Freight Carrier.

Therefore: All parties including Freightz.com, the Customer and the Carrier agree any claim, dispute or controversy between Customer and  Freightz.com (and/or made by/or against anyone connected with Customer or Freightz.com  or claiming through Customer or Freightz.com) arising from/or relating  to Customer’s use of Freightz.com’s website or services provided by Freightz.com including claims regarding applicability or validity of  this arbitration provision, shall be re solved by binding arbitration in  accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (”AAA”) then  in effect, subject to these Terms and Conditions at a mutually agreed  location within Pinellas County, State of Florida, USA.

The Organization has a lien on funds recovered through the processing of damage claims and reserves the right to apply recovery amounts to open past due invoices on account.
