About us / Terms of business |
|
ZIM Denmark A/S (Multi-Shipping A/S) act as agents to the Carrier in respect of all services which fall within the scope of the individual carrier’s bill of lading terms. ZIM Denmark A/S (Multi-Shipping A/S) shall as such not be liable for any breach of contract by the Carrier and ZIM Denmark A/S (Multi-Shipping A/S) shall in any event be entitled to invoke every right, exemption, limitation, condition, liberty and the law and jurisdiction clause contained in the individual carrier’s bill of lading terms.
If we undertake to perform tasks that fall outside the scope of the carrier’s bill of lading terms, but within the scope of the General Terms of Business for members of the Danish Shipbrokers' Association 2001 (DSAF), DSAF shall apply to such tasks. Under DSAF we perform the duties assigned to us as agents for the principal or as intermediary without any liability for any breach of the contract provided by us (Clause 2). In no event shall our liability exceed SDR 25,000 for any one loss (Clause 6). Special attention is directed to the fact that claims against us are statute-barred after 11 months and any legal action shall be taken within this period of time as otherwise the claim will be forfeited (Clauses 7 and 11). Furthermore we have a lien on goods under our control for claims we have against our principal, which applies to both current and previous claims (Clause 8).
If we undertake to perform tasks that fall outside both the scope of the carrier’s bill of lading terms and DSAF, but within the scope of the General Conditions of the Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders (NSAB 2000), then we perform the tasks as an intermediary under NSAB 2000 which shall apply to such tasks. Under NSAB 2000 our liability for loss of, deterioration of or damage to goods is limited to SDR 8.33 per kg 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). |
