Applicable Law
The services are governed by the laws of the country where the billing Shipwise entity has its domicile and the courts of such country shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle claims. Any local freight forwarding conditions of that country shall also apply. For the international transportation of goods by road, the provisions of CMR (Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road) shall apply, except for articles 24 and 26. Particular attention is drawn to the paragraphs below on Cash on Delivery and Delivery Against Documents, for which Shipwise’s liability follows exactly articles 11 and 21 of the CMR also for national transports. For intermodal transport using rail, the General Terms and Conditions of Carriage for International Freight Traffic by Rail (GTC-CIM) apply, Appendix B to the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF 1999). For transport contracts for dangerous goods, the applicable rules and conditions of all involved countries apply.
Claims / Claim Deadlines
Apparent damage, loss or shortage must be notified upon delivery. Any non-apparent damage, loss or shortage must be notified latest within 7 days after the delivery date, Sundays and public holidays excluded.
Collection & Delivery
Shipments may not be sent from private households to private households (C2C). No access restriction to pick-up or delivery point is permitted. Special equipment, booking in and time-window deliveries are not included in the basic freight rates.
Dangerous Goods
If the Customer offers hazardous goods for transportation, he has to comply with all statutory rules and regulations. He is responsible for the correct labeling, approved packaging, relevant transportation documents, shipper's statement and danger signs, in the required languages. The standard extra charge for a shipment containing hazardous goods has to be determined by arrangement, and additional costs, such as ferry or tunnel costs, may be added. Even if the shipment is sent from a non-ADR country, the Customer must adhere to all ADR-rules or in case of a sea-freight-voyage the IMDG-Code regulations in addition to applicable national dangerous goods rules.
Packaging
All goods must be adequately packed for transport, and able to be dispatched if it is groupage cargo. Liability for damage resulting from inadequate packaging rests with the Customer. If goods are not stackable due to improper packaging or otherwise, the paying weight will be calculated on the basis of the number of loading meters occupied in the truck.
Termination of Agreement
If an agreement is reached both parties shall be entitled to terminate this agreement at any time with 5 days written notice.
Temperature Sensitive & Perishable Goods
Such shipments can be accepted only by prior arrangement and at a surcharge.

Shipwise shall be relieved of any liability under any agreement for services if, and to the extent that, such liability is caused by the consequences of the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Data Protection
Shipwise is entitled to process data transmitted by the Customer insofar as this is required for the fulfilment of the contract or to ensure compliance with its own legal obligations. Furthermore, Shipwise points out that it may be legally obliged to notify personal data or shipment data to courts and authorities. Customer permits Shipwise to use its email address in order to provide it with information on new offers. The Customer may at any time withdraw such permission free of charge by email to the following address freightservices@dhl.com. The Customer ensures that it has complied with its legal obligations in relation to personal data provided to Shipwise including consignee data as may be required for transport, delivery and logistics services, such as e.g. name, address, email and phone number.

violation of any applicable Trade Laws. If Shipwise has
reason to believe that providing such services will cause a
violation of applicable Trade Laws, Shipwise has the
right to refuse services.

contained in Customer’s shipments and for determining
whether the delivery of the shipment to its final
destination, any known end-user and end-use complies
with all applicable Trade Laws.
