PART II — Definitions and Rules of Construction

 

2.1  Definitions.  As used in these Terms and Conditions of Shipment and in Carrier’s bill of lading, the words and phrases underlined below have the meaning set forth thereafter.

 

2.1.1  Agreed Value means the value of an animal agreed to or declared by the Shipper on the bill of lading for a Shipment to be the largest amount for which Carrier will be liable in the event of the death of, injury or other damage to, or as the result of delay in the transportation of such animal.  Unless a higher value is declared by Shipper on the bill of lading at or prior to commencement of transportation of a Shipment, the Agreed Value for each animal in such Shipment shall be $5,000.00.

 

2.1.2  Beneficial Owner means any person who has an ownership interest in any animal in a Shipment at the time the animal is loaded into Carrier’s Van and receives or expects to receive a benefit from the transportation of such Shipment.

PART III —Carrier Responsibility and Limitation of Liability and Right to Receive Attorneys Fees

 

3.1  General Responsibilities of Carrier.  The Carrier shall be responsible only for the actual transportation of the animal(s).  The Carrier’s Established Rate does not include the loading, unloading, handling, feeding, watering and other care of the animal(s).  Shipments may be accompanied by one or more attendants provided by Shipper and it shall be the duty and responsibility of such attendants to care for, load and unload the animal(s).  The Carrier, its employees and agents are not liable for injuries or death occurring to animal(s) while said employees or agents assist in the loading or unloading of said animals.  Shipper and/or the individual receiving said animal(s) shall indemnify the Carrier and its agents for damages to equipment and for injury or death to animal(s) resulting from negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Shipper, the individual receiving such animal(s) or their agents.  Furthermore, if Carrier’s agents or employees at the request of a Shipper or the one receiving said animal(s) assist in the loading or unloading of animal(s), the Shipper and/or the individual receiving said animal(s) shall indemnify the Carrier for damages to equipment and injuries or death to the animal(s) of the Shipper and/or receiver requesting unloading or loading assistance and also to the animal(s) of any other Shipper or receiver occurring in connection therewith. 

 

3.2  Limitation of Liability.  Carrier’s maximum liability for the death of, injury or damage to, or delay in the transportation, including layovers, of any animal shall be the Agreed Value of such animal. Carrier does not provide insurance for Shipper’s goods. Carrier assumes the liability of a common carrier subject to the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 14706.

 

3.2.1  Shipper shall release and discharge Carrier from all liability from any cause whatsoever, unless such delay, injuries, or loss shall be caused by Carrier, or by the negligence of Carrier’s agents or employees, and in said event, Carrier shall be liable only to the extent of actual damage sustained, but in no event an amount greater than the Agreed Value for the animal(s) in question.

 

3.2.2  Shipper shall declare the Agreed Value of each animal (which at Shipper’s option may be any value up to and including the full value of the animal) at or prior to commencement of transportation of the Shipment on the bill of lading under the column heading “AGREED VALUE OF EACH ANIMAL ($5,000.00 UNLESS DECLARED OTHERWISE)”.

 

3.2.3  If the Shipper fails or declines to agree to a value and specify same on the bill of lading, and fails to sign the bill of lading, the Shipment will not be accepted.  If the Shipment is inadvertently accepted by Carrier without an Agreed Value stated or a signature by Shipper on the bill of lading, the Carrier’s maximum liability will be $5,000.00 per animal.

 

3.2.4  If the Shipper individually or through its agent signs Carrier’s bill of lading but fails to state an Agreed Value on Carrier’s bill of lading for any animal at or prior to commencement of transportation, Carrier’s maximum liability for each such animal shall be $5,000.00.

 

3.2.5  The Agreed Value shall be deemed to relate to each animal separately and not to the Shipment as a whole. 

 

3.2.6  If the Agreed Value declared by Shipper on the bill of lading does not exceed $5,000.00, Carrier’s charges for the Shipment shall be based on Carrier’s Established Rate.

 

3.2.7  If the Agreed Value declared by Shipper on the bill of lading exceeds $5,000.00, Carrier’s charges for the Shipment shall be based on Carrier’s Established Rate plus an excess value charge of $1.00 for each $100.00 or fraction thereof of excess value per animal for each 100 miles or fraction thereof of distance from point of origin to point of destination as determined in accordance with Section 4.4 of these Terms and Conditions of Shipment (subject to a minimum excess value charge of $75.00 per animal).

 

3.2.8 The Agreed Value provisions of Carrier’s Bill of Lading also apply to all horses for which Carrier receives from Shipper or Shipper’s agent Acknowledgment of Purchase slips of Fasig-Tipton Company, Inc., Purchase and Security Agreements of Keeneland or Acknowledgment of Purchase and Security Agreements of Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co., Inc. Receipt of said proof of purchase documents or similar documents of purchase by Carrier for the transportation by Carrier of horses for Shipper binds Shipper to Carrier’s written Terms and Conditions of Shipment even if Carrier’s Bill of Lading is not signed, Shipper acknowledges the impossibility of Carrier always obtaining a signature on the Bill of Lading at sales facilities due to the press of business for Shipper and Shipper’s agents.

 

3.3 Intermodal Air Shipments.  Where Shipments are transported to a location for subsequent transportation by air carrier(s), the air carrier(s) and/or intermediaries such as air freight forwarders to which such Shipments are to be delivered may and customarily do require as a prerequisite to their acceptance of a Shipment the execution of written agreements relating to the nature and extent of their responsibilities. Such written agreements may include a release from or limitation of liability on the part of the air carrier(s)/intermediary(ies) or a requirement for declaration of the Shipment’s value establishing maximum liability of the air carrier(s)/intermediary(ies) for loss or delay of or injury to the Shipment.  It is the Shipper’s responsibility in these circumstances to be knowledgeable of the contractual terms and conditions established by the air carrier(s)/intermediary(ies) to which the Shippers’ Shipments are to be delivered by Carrier.  Accordingly, where a shipment is tendered to and accepted by Carrier for transportation to a location for subsequent transportation by air carrier, unless otherwise indicated by the Shipper in writing on Carrier’s bill of lading, Shipper will be conclusively presumed to know and to have assented to such contractual terms and conditions required by the air carrier(s)/intermediary(ies) to which Shipper has instructed the Shipment be delivered, and Carrier is authorized as the agent of Shipper to execute written agreements which contain such releases and liability limitations as may be required by such air carrier(s)/intermediary(ies) as a prerequisite to acceptance of the Shipment and, when a declaration of the value of the Shipment is required by the air carrier(s)/intermediary(ies), to declare any value for the Shipment so long as such declared value is not lower than the value declared or agreed to by the Shipper for the Shipment identified on Carrier’s bill of lading.

 

3.4 Should Sallee Horse Vans Vans successfully defend itself in a federal court action claiming loss or damage to cargo while engaged in interstate commerce by limiting its liability to no more than its final offer of judgment made pursuant to F.R.C.P. 68, Sallee Horse Vans shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

4.9  Claims.  Claims for loss or damage are governed by the provisions of 49 C.F.R. 370.  Claims for duplicate payment and overcharges are governed by the provisions of 49 C.F.R. 378.  As a condition precedent to recovery, claims must be filed in writing with the receiving or delivering Carrier or Carrier issuing this bill of lading, or Carrier on whose line the loss, damage, injury or delay occurred, or Carrier in possession of the property when a loss, damage, injury or delay occurred, within nine months after delivery of the property (or in the case of export traffic, within nine months after delivery to port of export) or, in the case of failure to make delivery, within nine months after a reasonable time for delivery has lapsed.  Suits shall be instituted against any Carrier only within two years and one day from the day when notice in writing is given by the Carrier to the claimant that the Carrier has disallowed the claim or any part or parts thereof specified in the notice.  Where claims are not filed and suits are not instituted thereon in accordance with the foregoing provision, no Carrier hereunder shall be liable and such claims will not be paid.

4.12  Bill of Lading.  When animals are transported subject to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Shipment, the acceptance of the use of the Carrier’s bill of lading is required.  The application of the rates established by Carrier is conditioned upon the use of such bill of lading.

 

4.13  Shipper’s Copy of Bill of Lading.  Shipper, individually or through its agent, and Carrier agree if Shipper or Shipper’s agent does not receive a copy of the bill of lading at point of the Shipment’s origin, Carrier will provide a copy of the bill of lading to Shipper or Shipper’s agent at final destination or mail it to Shipper or Shipper’s agent after delivery, upon receipt by Carrier of Shipper or Shipper’s agent’s written request to do so.

 

4.14  Conduct and Condition of Animals.  Shipper agrees Carrier shall not be responsible for the conduct or acts of the animals to themselves or to each other such as biting, kicking, goring or smothering, nor for loss or damage arising from the condition of the animals themselves, or which results from their nature or propensities, which risks are assumed by Shipper. 

 

4.15  Import/Export Costs.  Where import regulations of the country/state/province of destination or any intermediate country/state/province require certificate(s) relating to the health of the animal(s), the cost of any necessary veterinary expense shall be borne by the Shipper and is not included in Carrier’s Established Rate.  All other charges incidental to international border crossings including user fees shall be borne by Shipper and are likewise not included in Carrier’s Established Rate.  All duties, taxes, imports or levies of any kind payable at the port of destination or any intermediate port, and any expenses properly incurred in relation to the animals after arrival at the port of destination before delivery to the one receiving the animal(s) are payable by the one receiving the animal(s) but the Shipper shall indemnify the Carrier against any such payments which the Carrier shall be required or deem it necessary to make.

4.18  Redelivery.  If a Shipment or part thereof is tendered for delivery and delivery cannot be accomplished through no fault of the Carrier, the Shipment or applicable part thereof and tack associated therewith will be left at the nearest available facility acceptable to Carrier.  No further effort will be made to effect delivery, except on request and at the charge provided in Section 5.2 entitled “Exclusive Use of Van” for the actual distance traveled.  All storage, feed and stable facility charges must be paid by the Shipper.

PART V — Special Services

 

5.1  Loading in Excess of Capacity.  Where the Shipper at Shipper’s own risk deems it necessary to ship a number of animals (other than thoroughbred or standard bred racehorses) which exceed normal van capacity and the bill of lading is stamped or so marked, Shipper may obtain such service.

 

5.2  Exclusive Use of Van.  When at the request of Shipper a Van is used exclusively for the transportation of a Shipment provided by such Shipper, the provisions of this Section 5.2 will apply.   

 

5.2.1  When a Van of six (6) horses or less capacity (capacity to be determined by the Carrier) is ordered and used, the minimum charge shall be that for six (6) horses.

Should the Shipper or the Carrier deem it necessary for an animal to occupy a box stall, a box stall being defined as a stall the entire width of the van (approximately seven feet wide by six feet deep), the Established Rate for one animal will be tripled.  One mare and foal will be subject to a minimum charge of three times the Established Rate for one horse.  Where the Carrier provides more than a single stall solely for the Carrier’s own convenience without regard to the particular requirements of such animal and without request of the Shipper, the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall not apply. 

 

5.5  Stopping in Transit.  A Shipment moving on one bill of lading from one point of origin at one time to one destination may be stopped in transit at any point or place for the purpose of partial loading or unloading of animals or retrieval of documents, tack, pets, paraphernalia, etc., subject to the following provisions:

 

5.5.1  The bill of lading must show the point or points at which the Shipment is to be stopped for partial loading or unloading together with a complete description of the animals to be loaded or unloaded at each point and the name and address of the party to whom each animal is to be delivered.  If delivery is made to more than one address in the same city, town or village, each delivery will be considered a separate stop in the application of this section.
