1. DESCRIPTION

HUBBIG acts as a commissioner, not a freight forwarder. By placing an order on our platform, the Client authorizes HUBBIG to place an order for transport services on behalf of the Client, acting as principal, with one of the logistic companies selected by the Client on the platform which are in a contractual relationship with HUBBIG. HUBBIG ensures that the selected partner meets the requirements for the services ordered. HUBBIG does not perform the transport of shipments and is not responsible for the selection of logisticians or the fulfillment of their obligations. Logisticians conduct the pick-up, transport and delivery of the shipment, organize transport and are responsible for the execution of the freight transport service.

At the request of the Client, HUBBIG must cede all claims and rights arising from transactions entered for its own behalf, on behalf of the Client, including claims under the jurisdiction of the selected logistics service provider, in the case of failure to perform or improper performance of logistics services.

Any additional costs incurred as a result of the Client's additional requests made to the selected logistics service provider or due to customs procedures shall be solely borne by the Client that is the contracting entity of the freight transport. HUBBIG reserves the right to request that the Client reimburse any costs incurred by HUBBIG at the Client's request, even if those costs were incurred after the completion of the logistics service.

The Client, i.e. the consumer, expressly agrees to waive the right to cancel the contract with HUBBIG after HUBBIG has submitted the order details to the selected logistics provider. HUBBIG shall not accept orders from unauthorized dealers and reserves the right to unilaterally cancel all orders from unauthorized dealers.

In accordance with its internal policies and procedures, HUBBIG manages the authorization procedures of individual dealers. Any dealer may submit a written request for initiation of said procedure.

2. DELAYS AND LIABILITY IN CASE OF DELAY

All delivery times are indicative and not guaranteed. By accepting these General Terms and Conditions, the Client accepts and agrees that many external circumstances may cause delays in shipment pick-up or delivery.

In the event of a delay, HUBBIG shall in no case be liable for any damages resulting from the delay and shall not be liable for settlement of the obligation or costs incurred as a result of the delay. HUBBIG is under no obligation to pay any delay fees nor cover any costs associated therewith.

3. INSURANCE, CLAIM AND APPEAL PROCEDURES AND PROHIBITED ITEMS

3.1. Insurance, Liability And Value Covered By Insurance

All transportation orders are insured in accordance with the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) if the contracting entity chooses a trucking service, or in accordance with the Bill of Lading if they choose maritime transport, or an AWB document if they choose air transport.

If the value of the contents of the shipment is higher than the value covered by the insurance, the Client has the option of purchasing additional insurance directly through our platform. Supplementary insurance should be selected at the time of ordering and will be calculated in accordance with the value of the goods specified by the Client in the inquiry.
