Business Terms
All services rendered are subject to the General conditions of the Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders (NSAB 2000). Under these conditions our liability for loss of, deterioration of or damage to goods is limited to SDR 8.33 per kgs and our liability for delay is limited to the amount of the freight, but not exceeding SDR 50,000 per order.
In connection with storage, the freight forwarder's total liability for damage is limited to SDR 500,000 for any incident of damage occurred (clause 27). Special attention is directed to the stipulations that claims against the freight forwarder are statute-barred after one year (clause 30) and that the lien on goods (clause 14) applies to both current and previous claims. Claims for freight etc. must be honoured regardless of the terms of delivery under the contract of sale or freight agreement (clause 10).
Other important terms to notice: "All transports are executed in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in the Nordic Freight Forwarder's Association, NSAB2000. We draw your attention to the limitations in coverage as per paragraph 22 and 27 as well as paragraph 6 which stipulate that this is not a time guaranteed transport."
"Any disputes must be settled in Danish Maritime Court (Sø- og Handelsretten) in Copenhagen in accordance with the Danish Law. This supersedes any stipulation of any involved transport documents including but not limited to Bills of ladings".
