3. Loading and Unloading
3.1 If collection or delivery of a Consignment takes place at your premises, we shall not be under any obligation to provide any equipment or labour which, apart from the driver collecting the Consignment, may be required for loading or unloading of a Consignment.
3.2 Any Consignment (or part of a Consignment) requiring any special equipment for loading and unloading shall be accepted by us for transportation only on the understanding and condition that such special equipment will be made available at the Collection Point and the Delivery Point, as required. Where such equipment is not available and if we agree to load or unload the Consignment (or part of the Consignment), we shall be under no liability or obligation of any kind to you for any damage caused (however it may be caused) during the loading or unloading of the Consignment. This includes any damage caused whether or not by our negligence and you shall agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any claim or demand from any person arising out of our agreeing to load or unload the Consignment in these circumstances.
4. Collection and Deliveries
4.1 We will make one attempt to deliver a Consignment during normal working hours. If we cannot obtain a delivery receipt at the Delivery Point, you agree that we shall be authorised to attempt to:

4.4 Return information is captured from the collection address details listed in the service order.
5. Sub-Contractors
You agree that we may use another carrier in order to support our provision of the Services to you (this will be at our own expense) and you agree that both we and such other carrier shall be entitled to the protection of all of the terms of this Agreement, which exclude or limit liability for any losses or damage.
6. Our Liability
YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE AND THE LIMITS OF OUR LIABILITY WITHIN IT.
6.1 Where you deal with us as a consumer, nothing within these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to affect your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. For the avoidance of any doubt, when you deal with us as a business, the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 is hereby excluded to the fullest extent legally possible and you are further referred to additional terms relating to business clients set out below.
6.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
6.3 As a responsible business, we will perform the Service(s) in a professional manner with the appropriate level of skill and care. However, loss of or damage to a Consignment may still occur as a consequence of our handling of it and, in such circumstances, our liability shall be limited as set out in these Terms and Conditions. The reasoning behind such limitation of our liability is as follows:
(a) the value of a Consignment and the amount of potential loss to you that could arise if a Consignment is damaged or lost is not something which we can easily ascertain but is something which is better known to you. In many cases, it cannot be known to us at all and can only be known to you;
(b) the potential amount of loss that might be caused or alleged to be caused to you is likely to be disproportionate to the sum that we could reasonably be expected to charge you for providing the Service(s) under this Agreement;
(c) it is not possible for us to obtain protection which would give unlimited protection for our full potential liability to all of our customers and, even if it were, such protection would be much cheaper if taken out by you (rather than us taking out such protection and passing the cost on to you) and, on that basis, it is more reasonable for you to take out such protection from an independent third party. Please note that you are also able to purchase Parcel Protection from us for your Consignment during the ordering process;
(d) we wish to keep the costs of providing the Service(s) to you as low as possible;
(e) in light of the above, we wish to limit our liability for any damage or loss caused to you to a level which we consider reasonable to our low charges for providing the Services;
(f) in these Terms and Conditions, damage to you means any damage suffered by you (including any loss of, or damage to, a Consignment and any other loss, whether or not known to you or us or in either of our contemplation at the time of entering into this Agreement), however it arises but only so long as it is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission (which includes any deliberately wrongful act or omission) and any breach of any terms of this Agreement, or any terms which are implied by statute (where applicable); and
(g) we investigate all claims received by us in a fair and speedy manner, but such investigations are more accurate and are easier to perform soon after the loss or damage is alleged to have incurred and, on that basis, the timescales set out in this Agreement are necessary to ensure that such investigations can be performed fairly.
The Extent of our Liability
6.4 We shall only be liable for damage or loss caused to you if it is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, and only subject to the limitations set out within this clause 6 and clause 7.
6.5 We shall not be liable to you under any circumstances for:
(a) any direct or indirect loss (including, but not limited to loss of profits, or loss of goodwill); or
(b) any other special or indirect losses, costs, damages, or claims which do not arise naturally as a result of our negligence, breach of duty, or other wrongful act or omission.
6.6 We shall not be liable to you:
(a) under any circumstances where there are any material discrepancies (meaning more than 10% difference) between the declared dimensions and/or weights and the actual dimensions and/or weights;
(b) for any damage caused by our negligence, breach of duty, or other wrongful act or omission, which you have, or you have arranged to be, repaired, unless it is agreed by us that the repair work is to be carried out and that a repairer approved by us undertakes this work;
(c) in any circumstances in respect of the items on the Prohibited Items; Damage to Items Protected for Loss Only; or for loss of or damage to the No Protection Items lists, unless otherwise stated by us; or
(d) for any damage incurred to the packaging used for the goods booked on the service order.
The Limitation on the Amount of our Liability
6.7 If we are liable to you for any reason, we shall (subject always to clause 7) only be liable to refund to you the cost paid for the Service(s), unless you have purchased Parcel Protection for your Consignment from us. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any Parcel Protection that you may require in respect of any items listed on the “Items Protected for Loss Only” and “No Protection Items” lists. No level of Parcel Protection that you purchase from us will render allowable any item which is on the “Prohibited Items” list.
Where you purchase Parcel Protection for your Consignment from us, our liability to you is limited to the lesser of: (i) the value of the Parcel Protection taken out; or (ii) the actual value of the Consignment at the date of loss or damage (as applicable). Where you do not purchase Parcel Protection, you confirm that you accept the risks of not doing so.
We offer two types of Parcel Protection for Consignments:
Protection for loss or damage
Protection for loss only
Please note that if you purchase Parcel Protection for loss only, you will not be protected, and we shall not be liable, for any losses that you suffer due to any damage caused to the Consignment other than for up to the cost that you have paid for the Service(s) in circumstances where such damage is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, and subject to the limitations set out within this clause 6 and clause 7.
Irrespective of the type of Parcel Protection ((i) loss only; or (ii) loss or damage) that you purchase, we will not be liable to repay you the market value of the Consignment as at the time it was purchased by you. Consignments by their nature are subject to depreciation. You must take out a “new for old” compensation policy should you wish to be compensated in this way.
6.8 In order to ascertain the extent of our liability above, we shall require proof of the value and weight of the entire Consignment and any constituent part or parts and you must ensure that, prior to our collection of the Consignment, you have a record of these. For the avoidance of any doubt, and without affecting clause 6.5, we shall only be liable for the replacement value of the Consignment and not for any sums that would amount to profit on the Consignment or applicable value added tax (or like tax) on such profit.
6.9 If a claim arises as a result of damage to the whole or part of a Consignment and if we settle the claim for a sum equal to or greater than the value of the Consignment (in circumstances where you have purchased Parcel Protection for loss or damage), then we shall be entitled to claim ownership of the Consignment and deal with it as we see fit. For the avoidance of any doubt, we shall be responsible for the cost of recovery of the Consignment.
6.10 If you wish to combine a number of discrete packages within a Consignment, you must do this within an outer box or packaging fully encompassing each discrete package. If you do not do this and any individual discrete package(s) come apart in transit resulting in one or more of them being lost, then once the remaining parcel(s) are signed for by the recipient, you accept that you cannot make a claim for loss or partial loss of the Consignment.
No Protection Items and Items Protected for Loss Only
6.11 Certain items are carried without Parcel Protection for damage or loss and at your own risk regardless of whether you have purchased Parcel Protection. A list of these items can be found at: https://www.shipnow.gb.fedex.com/prohibited-items. We do not accept any liability for damage to or damage caused by any of the items on these lists, whatsoever and howsoever damage is caused, whether in contract, breach of statutory duty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, if you purchase Parcel Protection for the items on the “Items Protected for Loss Only” list, they will be carried with Parcel Protection only in the event they are lost by us.
Special Provisions
6.12 We shall not, in any circumstances, be liable to you for any damage caused arising directly or indirectly as a result of any of the Excepted Risks.
6.13 If at any time we are prevented or delayed from starting, carrying out or completing any of the Services because of a strike, lock out, labour dispute, weather conditions, traffic congestion, mechanical breakdown or obstruction of any public or private road or highway or any other cause beyond our control, you shall have no claim for damages against us for any loss that you may suffer as a result provided that, where the delay is caused by the mechanical breakdown of one of our vehicles, we shall use all commercially reasonable endeavours to provide a replacement vehicle with the minimum delay practicable.
6.14 We shall not in any circumstances be liable for any late delivery or missed delivery or failure to deliver caused by or contributed to by any deficient or ambiguous labelling of a Consignment and you agree to be responsible for ensuring that such labelling is clear and unambiguous.
Packaging, Labelling and Receipt of goods
6.15 You must properly and sufficiently pack and label all goods for the intended Service and destination, failure to do so, would be seen as an Excepted Risk and could affect any liability for damage, as per clause 6.12:
(a) You must pack the goods so that the Consignment or the contents of the Consignment or any other goods being Transported by us will not be lost or damaged whilst being Transported, and will not cause injury or damage to any person, any property or other goods.
(b) If the Consignment has been pre-packed, for example new goods in a display box, the requirement to properly pack the goods set out in clause 6.15 (a) must include packing the Consignment so that the packaging will not be damaged whilst being Transported.
(c) You must ensure that the labelling has the full address and postcodes of both the person or company sending the package and the person or company receiving it.
Your Default
6.16 If our performance of any of our obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by you or failure by you to perform any relevant obligation (“Your Default”):
(a) we shall (without limiting our other rights or remedies) have the right to suspend performance of the Service(s) until you remedy Your Default and, and we shall have the right to rely on Your Default if Your Default prevents or delays our performance of any of our obligations;
(b) we shall not be liable for any costs or losses that you may suffer that arise directly or indirectly from our failure or delay to perform any of our obligations; and
(c) you shall reimburse us on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by us arising directly or indirectly from Your Default.
FedEx Limited Liability
6.17 The Website has been designed and developed and is owned and operated by us under FedEx branding to enable FedEx customers to purchase Services. FedEx, any affiliates of FedEx, and the operators of any FedEx branded premises or location, (whether operated by FedEx or a third party), shall have no responsibility for the function and content of the Website and that any and all liability regarding the Website, subject to this clause 6, (save for in respect of any FedEx trade marks) rests with us.
7. International Carriage
7.1 If we are requested to collect from, or deliver a Consignment to, a country outside of the United Kingdom, our terms of liability (subject to clause 7.2 below) shall be governed by the relevant provisions of the Convention on the Contract for International Carriage of Goods by Road, as set out in the Schedule to the Carriage of Goods by Road Act 1965 (as amended) (“the CMR Regulations”) and, in particular, articles 17 onwards and those provisions shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement and will apply in place of any inconsistent terms within these Terms and Conditions. We can provide a copy of these provisions if requested, but even if these are not requested, you will be deemed to have read, understood and agreed to them and their incorporation into this Agreement.
7.2 If the carriage of any Consignment occurs by air travel and involves stopping in a country other than the country of departure, then the Montreal Convention, as amended, shall be generally applicable to such part of the carriage as occurs by air and, in particular, our maximum liability in respect of loss of or damage to any such Consignment during air travel shall be limited to the amount set out in the Montreal Convention (namely £1,870 per ton of the gross weight (i.e. including any and all packaging) of the Consignment).
7.3 We shall not be responsible for any local customs charges, import taxes duties, return to sender charges or anything similar which are incurred through our carriage and/or delivery of any Consignment and you must satisfy yourself as to whether any of these charges will become due, and if so in what amounts, before completing an order with us. If any such charges become due as a result of our carriage and/or delivery of a Consignment on your behalf and are charged to us by any competent authority, you agree to reimburse us fully in respect of the same within 7 days of our demand.
7.4 You acknowledge and agree that all Consignments which are to be delivered to the European Union or Northern Ireland may require a commodity code to be declared within the booking process (see https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff). The commodity code classifies goods for import and export and will enable customs authorities to determine if any taxes and/or duties are payable. If the local customs authority determines that any additional taxes or duties are payable because you have provided us with an incorrect commodity code for your Consignment, you acknowledge and agree that the customs authority will impose such taxes or duties, which the recipient of the goods will be required to pay. It is, therefore, your responsibility to ensure that when you place a Service Order for any Consignment which is to be delivered to the European Union or Northern Ireland, you select the correct commodity code and that is it accurate to the best of your knowledge. We accept no responsibility or liability if such additional taxes or duties are payable in such circumstances.
7.5 The provisions at clause 8.6 shall apply to this clause 7.
8. Claims and Refunds
8.1 We shall not be liable to you under any circumstances for any loss or damage unless you notify us either via the Website or by written notice to Parcel2Go.com Limited, 1a Parklands, Lostock, Bolton, England, BL6 4SD, United Kingdom within:

If the Correction Charges (whether whole or part) cannot be paid by this means, the balance is due within 7 days of a relevant charges being issued to you; and
(d) we may suspend performance of the Service(s) until the Correction Charges are received by us.
