References made to tariffs, items, pages, notes, rules, etc. are continuous and include all originals, supplements, revisions, and reissues.

The shipper has the responsibility to prepare and present a non-negotiable BTX waybill with each shipment tendered for transportation. Each shipment shall be subject to BTX’s Rules Tariff No. 1 in effect on the date of acceptance of shipment by BTX or its agent. In the event that shipment is tendered to BTX on a straight bill of lading or any other shipping document, Forwarder’s rules and regulations will supersede any rules and regulations contained on the shipping document on which the freight was tendered. Shipments are subject to security controls by carriers and, where appropriate, by government agencies. Copies of shipping documents will be retained until the shipment is delivered.

Except as otherwise provided, all property is acceptable for transportation when the rules and regulations of this tariff and all laws, ordinances, and other governmental rules and regulations governing transportation have been satisfied.

BTX will accept but not assume liability for shipments that are:

• improperly packed
• of a kind or type likely to incur damage from high or low temperature, notwithstanding the exercise of ordinary care by BTX
• freight not accompanied by proper documentation and necessary information as required by a convention, statute, tariff, or governmental regulation
• shipments requiring advance arrangements unless such arrangements had been completed prior to tender to BTX.

A shipment having:

• declared value in excess of $50,000.00
• containing pieces in excess of 250 pounds
• freight with floor bearing weight in excess of 100 lbs. per square foot
• dimensions 40” X 40” X 60”
• freight requiring special devices for safe handling will be accepted when advance arrangements have been made with BTX and BTX acknowledges its acceptance to handle.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in BTX’s tariffs and subject to any conditions or restrictions contained therein, the following articles will not be accepted for carriage:

• any shipment prohibited by law
• original works of art, antiques
• bonds, coins of any kind, currency, currency equivalents
• furs, fur clothing
• gems or stones (cut or uncut)
• industrial diamonds, gold or silver, coined concentrates
• jewelry (other than costume jewelry), pearls
• precious metals
• securities (negotiable)
• time sensitive written material (e.g., bids, contract proposals, etc.) when the declared value exceeds $0.50 per pound
• household goods and/or personal effects
• one-of-a-kind articles or models, prototypes
• valuable rugs (i.e., Oriental rugs, Persian rugs) and prints or lithographs when the total declared value of the shipment exceeds $500.00 or when the declared value exceeds $0.50 per pound, per piece
• any other articles provided in BTX’s governing tariffs and/or service guide

Shipments must be prepared or packed as to insure safe transportation with ordinary care in handling. Any article susceptible to damage as a result of any condition, which may be encountered in transportation, such as high or low temperature, high or low atmospheric pressure, or sudden changes in either must be adequately protected. Pieces with a floor bearing weight in excess of 100 pounds per square foot must be provided with a skid or base, which will reduce the floor bearing weight to 100 pounds or less.

Proper packing can withstand frequent handling, jarring, jostling, extremes of weather and temperature, and discourage or complicate pilferage and tampering. See Rule No. 25 for additional markings required for C.O.D. shipments. Shipper warrants that each package in this shipment is properly and completely described on this shipping document, is properly marked and addressed, is packaged adequately to protect the enclosed goods to insure safe transportation with ordinary care in handling, and except as noted, is in good order and condition. For articles shipped in unenclosed containers, BTX shall not be liable for damage/loss unless mishandling and/or loss is evident and is so noted on the delivery receipt at time of delivery. NOTE: A shipment in which delivery is made in exchange for a clear delivery receipt shall be prima facie evidence of having received ordinary care in handling.

BTX shall have the right to a) substitute alternate carriers or other means of transportation and b) select the routing or deviate from that shown on the face hereof.

BTX Air Express assumes no obligation to commence or complete transportation of a shipment within any specific period of time. BTX’s waybill and Rule No. 34 are designed as a guideline for anticipated delivery times only and is not offered as a guarantee.

BTX will hold at destination without charge for three (3) calendar days (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays) computed from the time the shipment was refused or held because of delivery instructions on waybill. Storage charges will not be assessed on shipments lacking proper documentation or when prior advance arrangements have been made with BTX.

After expiration of such free time BTX will continue to hold shipments for shipper, consignee, or third party, whoever is liable for the freight charges according to BTX’s waybill. If another party, other than the billable party of record on BTX’s waybill, requests storage a new BTX waybill will be issued covering the storage portion of the shipment. BTX may request that all accrued storage charges be paid prior to release of the goods.

BTX’s fee for storage is $10.00 minimum or $2.00 cwt. per day (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays). If such continued holding is not practical, BTX will notify the billable party that shipment is being placed in a public warehouse at the expense of the billable party as stated in previous paragraph, subject to a lien for all transportation, storage, delivery, warehousing and other charges remaining unpaid.

When BTX holds the shipment after the expiration of such free time, BTX’s liability shall be reduced to that of a warehouseman. When the shipment is placed in a public warehouse BTX’s liability for the shipment shall terminate.

BTX may dispose of shipments held longer than six months at public or private sale without notice to billable party, paying itself out of the proceeds of such sale all sums due and payable including storage. The sale of any consignment shall not discharge the billable party of any liabilities to pay any deficiencies.

The shipper, consignee, and billable party shall be liable, jointly and severally, to pay or indemnify BTX for all claims, fines, penalties, damages, costs, or other sums which may be incurred, suffered, or disbursed by BTX by reason of any violation of any of the rules contained in applicable tariffs or any judgments levied by civil or government authorities. Shipper and consignee shall hold BTX and its agents harmless for loss/damage/delay or any monetary losses which are a result of auxiliary services including but not limited to local cartage, crating, uncrating, packing, and unpacking which are requested by the shipper or consignee and arranged by BTX as a customer service unless such services are actually performed by BTX or its agents. Such limitation of liability shall extend to the selection by BTX of the providers of the auxiliary services. Auxiliary services are those which are performed prior or subsequent to transportation and which may be billed directly by the provider of the services or by BTX. Providers of auxiliary services are contractors for the shipper or consignee and are not agents for BTX. Local cartage is the movement of unpackaged/uncrated freight. NOTE: Under no circumstances will the liability of BTX for any monetary loss which is a result of any auxiliary services performed by BTX or its agents be greater that the liability contained in this contract.

BTX shall have a lien on any goods shipped for failure to pay charges payable on account of this shipment pursuant to this contract. BTX may refuse to surrender possession of the goods until such charges are paid. Should BTX bring legal action for the enforcement of this contract or collection of any sums due and payable under this contract, BTX shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs.

The shipper, consignee, and billable party shall be liable jointly and severally for:

• all unpaid charges of a shipment per the waybill conditions of contract, including cost of collection
• pay or indemnify BTX for all claims, fines, penalties, damages, costs, or other sums, which may be incurred by BTX by reason of any violation of this contract or any other default.

Except as stated below, shipments will be accepted with charges to be paid by the shipper, consignee, or a billable third party. The following shipments may never be collect:

• shipments not equal in commercial value to the transportation charges applicable
• household goods, used
• personal effects
• shipments to a consignee at a transient address
• shipments addressed to Canadian or United States Government agency unless shipped by government agent presenting proper bill of lading
• shipments to construction sites, hotels, or motels, and convention centers
• shipments of display materials to convention centers

The shipper and the consignee shall be liable jointly and severally for all unpaid charges payable on account of this shipment pursuant to this contract and to pay or indemnify BTX for claims, fines, penalties, damages, costs (storage, handling, re-consignment, return of freight to shipper, etc.) or other sums which may be incurred by BTX by reason of any violation of this contract or any other default of the shipper or consignee or their agents.

Rates and charges in effect on the day of acceptance of a shipment by BTX will apply. All sums due are in U.S. Dollars. Except as otherwise provided, transportation rates for a shipment will be assessed on the chargeable weight of a shipment based on the greater of actual weight, or, dimensional weight.

Dimensional weight is based on the product in cubic inches of the greatest dimension in height, width, and length in inches per piece. In computing inches all measurements are rounded upward to the next higher number prior to multiplication, then multiply the number of pieces and divide that product by 194 for domestic freight and 166 for international freight. This equates to 194 cubic inches equals one pound for domestic shipments and 166 cubic inches per pound for international shipments.

Insurance coverage is based on the BTX’s open insurance policy in effect on the date of the shipment. Failure to properly complete the INSURANCE OPTION on the face of any BTX shipping document shall void the coverage this option affords. Failure to insert at least the full invoice value of the shipment shall reduce any insurance payment proportionately by the applicable percentage that the shipment was so under-insured. There are exceptions and/or special insuring conditions to the insurance option. Contact BTX for details, as the cargo insurance policy is subject to limits, terms and conditions and shall be construed to be a contract directly between the shipper and the insurer.

Subject to advance arrangements and the availability of space, BTX will accept pieces more than 121 inches in length and/or more than 88 inches in width. The following provisions apply for pieces mentioned above:

• transportation will only be provided on pallets
• charges will be based on the actual weight or number of pallets required whichever is higher
• each pallets minimum chargeable weight is 4500 lbs.
• pallet dimensions are length 125 inches, width 88 inches, and height 58 inches

The following conditions may delay a shipment to the consignee:

• If the dimensions of the shipment are too large for available aircraft.
• If the length of the shipment exceeds 85”.
• Shipments that are improperly packaged, labeled, marked or lack proper documentation.
• Shipments tendered by a beyond carrier or by the shipper from a point which are not received in time for critical processing requirements or available departure times.
• Shipments on which the shipper has omitted or provided incorrect consignee address or zip code on the waybill.
• Shipments requiring special licenses or consulariztion filing prior to export.
• Dangerous Goods
• Shipments lacking Shipper’s Security Endorsement and shipper’s identification per TSA’s Security Procedures for Indirect Air Carriers.

No employee, agent, or representative of BTX Air Express, except the President, Vice-Presidents, and Corporate offices who are domiciled at the corporate offices in Monroe, Connecticut are authorized to vary any terms or conditions of the tariff or BTX’s waybill.

All rates and charges published in this Rules Tariff and any rate tariffs issued by BTX are stated in U.S. Dollars and payable in said currency. All charges applicable to a shipment are payable in cash at the time of acceptance by BTX for prepaid shipments, or at the time of delivery by BTX in the case of collect shipments. All invoices not paid within 30 days of invoice date will be subject to a charge of 1 1/2% per month.

Upon request of the consignor, consignee, or a third party requesting credit and proof of credit standing, BTX will extend credit for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of billing by BTX. Invoices will be issued to such credit accounts within seventy-two (72) hours after movement. A billable party may submit a written request for a different billing cycle. The credit department may honor this request, if volume billing warrants this extension. Whenever a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday the due date will be the following business day.

Collect on Delivery (C.O.D.) service is provided under the following conditions: a) shipper must identify the shipment as a C.O.D. shipment by entering the amount to be collected in the “Shipper’s C.O.D. Box” on the front of this shipping document, b) shipper must specify the type of payment to be received (e.g. cash, check, money order or cashier’s check) in the “Special Services Box” on the front of this shipping document and c) BTX and shipper agree that BTX does not guarantee nor verify that a check, money order, cashier’s check or other such financial instrument is valid or negotiable. All payments are collected at shipper’s risk. Unless inserted otherwise on the face of this shipping document, the C.O.D. amount of the shipment shall be deemed to be the declared value for carriage amount. This declared value for carriage amount in excess of $0.50 per pound, per piece, shall be subject to an excess valuation charge.

BTX will advance charges for transportation, cartage, storage, loading, unloading, packing, unpacking, and processing not performed by BTX, when arranged by the consignor, consignee, or third party. The charge for advancing these expenses is $2.00 minimum or 5% of expense whichever is higher.

BTX has the authority per TSA Indirect Carrier Security Requirements to inspect a shipment including, but not limited to, opening the shipment and inspecting the contents. The shipper has the responsibility to insure the goods described, packed, and shipped meet all TSA/FAA and DOT requirements for the safe transportation of the goods and will indemnify BTX against all fines and liens levied because of shippers negligence whether or not shipper was aware of the regulations. Every shipment is subject to inspection by BTX; however, BTX is not obligated to perform such inspection.

In the event of the failure or inability of the consignee to take delivery of the shipment, BTX will notify shipper in writing at the address shown on the shipping document and request disposition instructions. If the shipper fails to provide disposition instructions within 30 days after the date of BTX’s notice, BTX will return shipment to the shipper at the shipper’s expense. If the shipper fails to accept delivery of a shipment thus returned, BTX may, upon 30 days written notice to the shipper, dispose of the shipment at public or private sale and pay itself out of the proceeds to satisfy the transportation charges owing on the shipment. Any sums collected by BTX in excess of such transportation charges will be paid to the shipper. No sale or disposal pursuant to this rule will discharge any liability or lien to any greater extent than the proceeds thereof. The shipper and the consignee shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

Overcharge claims must be received in writing by BTX within one year after date of acceptance of the shipment by BTX. Written notification on all other claims (except concealed loss/damage claims) must be received in writing by BTX within 30 days after BTX accepted the shipment. Notification of concealed loss/damage claims (i.e., claims for loss or damage discovered by the consignee after delivery and after a clear receipt has been given) must be received in writing by BTX (BTX Air Express, 375 Bridgeport Avenue, 2nd floor, Shelton, CT 06484) within 12 days after delivery, or if perishables, verbally within 48 hours. For damage claims and concealed loss claims, BTX must be allowed the privilege to make inspection of the shipment and the container(s) and packaging material(s) at place of delivery. Claims must be perfected within 180 days after delivery or date delivery was intended. No claims will be entertained until all transportation charges have been paid. Claims may not be deducted from transportation charges and no claims may be deducted from any charges owed BTX. Legal action to enforce a claim must be brought within one year after the claim has been denied in writing by BTX, in whole or in part.

At time of delivery, the consignee must note on the delivery receipt any exceptions to the shipping containers that would indicate a discrepancy (shortage in the shipment or damage to the containers). The consignee may not inspect the contents of the shipping containers until the consignee signs for the shipment on the delivery receipt. NOTE: Such notations as “subject to inspection” and “subject to recount” are not exceptions. NOTE: A shipment in which delivery is made in exchange for a clear delivery receipt shall be prima facie evidence of having received ordinary care in handling. NOTE: Under no circumstances shall BTX be liable for loss and/or damage to external shipping containers of any kind.

BTX shall not be liable in any action brought to enforce a claim, except for overcharges, unless the claimant has exhausted the provisions in Rule No. 29. Any action must be brought within nine months and nine days after the date, written notice is given to the claimant that BTX has disallowed the claim in whole or in part. No action shall be entertained or liability attached to BTX under this contract unless suit is brought within one year from the date of the waybill.

For recover of overcharges, action by law shall begin within nine months and nine days after the date from the delivery of shipment by BTX, and no later, unless a claim for overcharge had been presented in writing to BTX within the 180 day period. Then the limit will extend for an additional 180 days from date of receipt of written notice. Should BTX successfully defend itself or any legal actions brought by any party, BTX shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs.

NOTE: In lieu of legal actions, any disputed claim not greater than $15,000.00 is to be settled through binding arbitration submitted to the Transportation Arbitration Board or the American Arbitration Association under its cargo claim arbitration program. An alternative arbitrator is to be selected by BTX if the claim is unacceptable for arbitration by both the above arbitrators.

BTX’s liability, in the absence of a higher declared value for carriage, is limited to a maximum of $50.00 per shipment or $0.50 per pound, per piece, of cargo lost, damaged, mis-delivered or otherwise adversely affected, whichever amount is greater, but in no event shall amount exceed the actual invoice value of the goods. This limitation is subject to provisions as published in BTX’s governing tariffs in effect at the time of this shipment. Declared values for carriage in excess of $0.50 per pound, per piece, shall be subject to an excess valuation charge. In the event of the failure or inability of the consignee to take delivery of the shipment, BTX will notify shipper in writing at the address shown on the shipping document and request disposition instructions. If the shipper fails to provide disposition instructions within 30 days after the date of BTX’s notice, BTX will return shipment to the shipper at the shipper’s expense.

If the shipper fails to accept delivery of a shipment thus returned, BTX may, upon 30 days written notice to the shipper, dispose of the shipment at public or private sale and pay itself out of the proceeds to satisfy the transportation charges owing on the shipment. Any sums collected by BTX in excess of such transportation charges will be paid to the shipper. No sale or disposal pursuant to this rule will discharge any liability or lien to any greater extent than the proceeds thereof. The shipper and the consignee shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

BTX’s liability for aggregate losses at any one time at any one place is limited to $1,000,000.00. For shipments having declared values over $100,000.00, BTX must be given advance notice prior to pick up. BTX shall not be liable for loss, damage, delay or monetary loss of any type caused by: Acts of God; public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority; strikes; labor disputes; weather; mechanical failures; aircraft failures; civil commotions; acts or omissions of customs or quarantine officials; the nature of the freight or any defects thereof; public enemies; hazards incident to a state of war; acts of terrorism; and by acts, defaults or omissions of the shipper or consignee for failure to observe the terms and conditions of the contract of carriage contained in this shipping document, including but not limited to improper packaging, marking, incomplete/inaccurate shipping instructions and the rules relating to freight not acceptable for transportation of freight acceptable only under certain conditions outlined below. BTX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, INCOME, INTEREST, UTILITY OR LOSS OF MARKET, WHETHER OR NOT BTX HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH DAMAGES MIGHT BE INCURRED.

Unless each piece of the shipment has a declared value stated and is specifically identified on the BTX’s shipping document at the time of the shipment and is so identified on the delivery receipt as being lost, damaged, destroyed, or otherwise affected at time of delivery, BTX shall be liable subject to tariff provisions in effect at the time of the shipment for the “average declared value” of the shipment. The “average declared value” of the shipment shall be determined by first dividing the total declared value of the shipment by the total weight of the shipment. This figure, multiplied by the packaged weight of the piece(s) adversely affected, shall then establish the amount of BTX’s liability. The total declared value amount must be inserted in the DECLARED VALUE box on the face of this shipping document. BTX’s liability shall in no event exceed the actual invoice value of the goods adversely affected.

In the event of the failure or inability of the consignee to take delivery of the shipment, BTX will notify shipper in writing at the address shown on the shipping document and request disposition instructions. If the shipper fails to provide disposition instructions within 30 days after the date of BTX’s notice, BTX will return shipment to the shipper at the shipper’s expense. If the shipper fails to accept delivery of a shipment thus returned, BTX may, upon 30 days written notice to the shipper, dispose of the shipment at public or private sale and pay itself out of the proceeds to satisfy the transportation charges owing on the shipment. Any sums collected by BTX in excess of such transportation charges will be paid to the shipper. No sale or disposal pursuant to this rule will discharge any liability or lien to any greater extent than the proceeds thereof. The shipper and the consignee shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

The shipper agrees to package Dangerous Goods for “passenger or cargo” aircraft in accordance with current IATA regulations. All Dangerous Goods will be tendered on an individual waybill. Manifesting isn’t permitted.
