The declared value of any
package/shipment represents our maximum liability in
connection with a shipment, including - but not
limited to - any loss, damage, delay, mis-delivery,
non-delivery, misinformation, and failure to provide
information or mis-delivery of information.
Exposure to and risk of any loss in excess of the

transferred by the shipper to an insurance carrier
through the purchase of an insurance policy. You should

declared for the package/shipment at the time of
tender, and a greater charge is paid as provided in
paragraph C below.

assessed for all packages/shipments exceeding $50.00

whichever is greater.

When the shipper send
more than one package on a job number, the total
declared value for all the packages moving under the
job number must be stated or entered when the order is
placed. Our liability will be limited to the total
declared value (not to exceed the per-package limit of
$50.00 or $50,000.00 or the per-shipment limit of
$1000.00, as described in this section). The declared
value for each package/shipment will be determined by
dividing the total declared value by the number of
packages on the job number, unless you provide
verifiable evidence supporting a different allocation.
Claimant is responsible for proving the actual loss
when a claim is made. In no event may the declared
value for any package/shipment exceed the value of the
declared entire shipment. If a package/shipment is
sent pursuant to an airline interline agreement,
additional restrictions may apply.
-
If a multi-piece
package/shipment is tendered palletized and
shrink-wrapped as one single handling unit, the
maximum declared value for that single unit is
$50,000.00 and not $50,000 per package contained
within that multi-piece shipment.
-
For packages/shipments
shipped to any international location, the declared
value for carriage cannot be greater than the declared
value for Customs.
ANY EFFORT TO DECLARE A VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUMS
ALLOWED IS NULL AND VOID AND THE ACCEPTANCE FOR CARRIAGE
OF ANY PACKAGE/SHIPMENT BEARING A DECLARED VALUE IN EXCESS
OF THE ALLOWED MAXIMUMS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF
ANY PROVISION OF THIS SERVICE GUIDE AS TO SUCH
PACKAGE/SHIPMENT. EVEN IF A HIGHER VALUE IS DECLARED, OUR
LIABILITY FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR DELAY WILL NOT EXCEED A
PACKAGE/SHIPMENT'S REPAIR COST, ITS DEPRECIATED VALUE OR
ITS REPLACEMENT COST - WHICHEVER IS LESS.
