Except in the case of concealed damage, receipt of the shipment by the recipient without written notice of damage on the Delivery Document is prima facie evidence that the shipment was delivered in good condition. Only one claim can be filed in connection with each shipment. Customer’s acceptance of payment for any claim shall be in full and complete satisfaction of the claim and Customer specifically agrees to hold QUICKEN free and harmless from any and all liability associated with the shipment for which QUICKEN paid a claim.

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

All shipments that cross international borders must be cleared through customs and may also require clearance from other regulatory agencies in the destination country prior to delivery to the recipient. Depending on the service selected:

When shipments are held by customs or other agencies due to incorrect or missing documentation, QUICKEN may attempt first to notify the recipient. If local law requires the correct information or documentation to be submitted by the recipient and the recipient fails to do so within a reasonable time as we may determine, the shipment may be considered undeliverable. If the recipient fails to supply the required information or documentation, and local law allows the sender to provide the same, we may attempt to notify the sender. If the sender also fails to provide the information or documentation within a reasonable time as we may determine, the shipment will be considered undeliverable. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, QUICKEN assumes no responsibility for its inability to complete a delivery due to incorrect or missing documentation. Shipments requiring additional documentation may be subject to additional transit time. Proper completion of necessary documentation, with complete and accurate shipment information, including the appropriate Harmonized Tariff Code, is the sole responsibility of the Customer. Shipments that contain goods or products that are regulated by multiple government agencies within the destination country (such as the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, the Fish and Wildlife Service and comparable agencies in the destination country) may be subject to additional time for clearance. The sender is responsible for making sure goods shipped internationally are acceptable for entry into the destination country. All charges for shipment to and from countries where entry is not permitted are to be done by the Customer (Sender or Receiver). QUICKEN assumes no responsibility for shipments abandoned in customs or shipments that may or must be considered undeliverable.

Customer MUST be informed that individuals cannot import goods/orders for commercial or industrial purposes. I am aware that Brazilian law provides for penalties for false declarations and/or the presentation of fraudulent documents. These penalties vary from fines, calculated on the value of the assets, to the seizure of these assets for the application of the penalty of forfeiture, and I, the traveler, may also be PROCESSED CIVILLY AND CRIMINALLY.

Therefore, I exempt the company QUICKEN. and all its agents for any abnormality with regard to the concept of baggage and that can be found in my move, assuming me, any and all responsibility for it.

CREDIT TERMS

QUICKEN does not provide individual consumer credit privileges. For individual Customers (non-business entities) QUICKEN requires prepayment of services which means that payment in full is required upon service request and prior to QUICKEN’s acceptance of the package for shipment. As a condition of extending credit privileges, QUICKEN reserves the right to require business Customers to provide current financial information, agree to bank draft arrangements for payment on account, provide a security deposit or provide a bank letter of credit, all within the sole discretion of QUICKEN. When credit privileges are extended, QUICKEN reserves the right to establish and enforce a credit limit on your account. QUICKEN reserves the right to review, amend or revoke a credit limit on your account at any time with or without cause. The invoice date begins the credit term cycle, and payment is due within seven (7) days from the invoice date. Failure to keep your QUICKEN account current may result in our account being placed on a cash-only status or such other remedial actions as QUICKEN may request. Cash-only status may impair your ability to use the services of QUICKEN, delay your shipments and may result in the loss of any applicable discounts. If the account number to be billed is not in good credit standing, the package may be held or stopped in transit until alternative payment arrangements are made. The Money-Back Guarantee Policy does not apply to any accounts that are not in good credit standing. The Customer, and any other party who is liable for payment, is responsible for all reasonable costs incurred by QUICKEN in obtaining or attempting to obtain payment for services rendered. Such costs include, but are not limited to, attorneys’ fees, collection agency fees, interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum on all past due amounts and court costs. Credit privileges will not be restored until Customer has paid all past-due balances in full and all costs, fees and expenses incurred by QUICKEN in collecting or attempting to collect such balances. QUICKEN reserves the right to require establishment of electronic funds transfer as a prerequisite to credit restoration. QUICKEN, in its sole discretion, may decline to restore credit privileges even if all costs, fees and expenses are paid. QUICKEN may apply any payment it receives from Customer to satisfy outstanding debts on the account. Requests for refunds of payment must be received within thirty (3) days of the date of payment.

DECLARED VALUE AND LIMITS OF LIABILITY (NOT INSURANCE COVERAGE)

The declared value of any package represents the maximum liability in connection with a shipment of that package, including, but not limited to, any loss, damage, delay, misdelivery, non-delivery, misinformation, any failure to provide information, or misdelivery of information relating to the shipment. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to prove actual damages. Unless the Customer selects the insurance option transferring risk of loss to QUICKEN, Customer shall bear any and all risk of any loss of the declared value. Customer may transfer the risk of loss to QUICKEN by selecting the appropriate insurance option at the moment of requesting the service. See Rates for insurance service provided by QUICKEN at: https://quickenlogistics.com/insurance/

The maximum declared value, including the products, freight and transportation charges, per package is the invoice value of the good being transported plus all services provided by QUICKEN.

The maximum declared value for the contents of any Envelope is $500.00 USD. Any effort to declare a value in excess of the maximum value for each type of shipment as defined in Sections (D) and (E) hereof, shall render all insurances null and void. Any effort to declare a value less than the true commercial value for each type of shipment shall render all insurances null and void. Our acceptance by QUICKEN for carriage of any shipment bearing a declared value in excess of the allowed maximum value as detailed herein does not constitute a waiver of any provision of the QUICKEN Service Guide as to such shipment. Regardless of the declared value of a package, our liability for loss, damage, delay, misdelivery, non-delivery, misinformation, any failure to provide information, or misdelivery of information, will not exceed the repair cost, its depreciated value or its replacement cost, whichever is less. The Customer is responsible for accurately completing the shipping documents, including completion of the declared-value section. Once the Customer tenders the shipment to QUICKEN, WE will not honor any requests from Customer to change the declared value of the shipment.

DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT (VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT/CHARGEABLE WEIGHT)

Transportation charges may be assessed based on dimensional weight, which is a volumetric standard. Dimensional-weight pricing is applicable on a per-package or per-shipment basis to all shipments packaged by the Customer. QUICKEN packaging may also be subject to dimensional-weight pricing. If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, charges based on the dimensional weight will be assessed. Customers who fail to apply the dimensional-weight calculation to a package may be assessed dimensional-weight charges from QUICKEN. See the Dimensional Weight description in the Fees and Other Shipping Information section of these Terms and Conditions.
