2. For International Air shipments, this Waybill shall      be subject to the provisions of the Convention for the Unification of      Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air, Oct. 12, 1929, as      amended by Protocol No. 4 of Montreal. 
3. All shipments may, at SELSI INTERNATIONAL option, be      opened and inspected.

5. SELSI INTERNATIONAL shall not be liable for special      or consequential damages.
6. SELSI INTERNATIONAL Domestic or Canadian / Mexico      deferred liability, in the absence of a higher declared value for      carriage, is limited to the amount of the claim, or $.50 per pound, per      piece, of cargo lost, damaged, misdelivered or otherwise adversely      affected. Value declared for carriage by the shipper at the time of      receipt of the shipment by SELSI INTERNATIONAL shall be subject to a      valuation charge of $.60 per $100 declared, with a $6.00 minimum, for      domestic shipments. This limitation      is subject to provisions as published in SELSI INTERNATIONAL governing      tariffs in effect at the time of this shipment.

Insurance requested for carriage by the      shipper at time of receipt of the shipment by SELSI INTERNATIONAL is      subject to an insurance charge of $.70 per $100 declared, with a $10.00      minimum, for international shipments. 
8. Unless each piece of the shipment has a declared      value stated and is specifically identified on the SELSI INTERNATIONAL      Waybill at time of shipment and is so identified on the SELSI      INTERNATIONAL Waybill as being lost, damaged, destroyed, or otherwise      adversely affected at time of delivery, SELSI INTERNATIONAL shall be      liable, subject to tariff provisions in effect at the time of the      shipment, for the average declared value per pound of the shipment      multiplied by the packaged weight of the piece(s) adversely affected. The average declared value per pound of      this shipment shall be determined by dividing the total declared value of      the shipment by the total weight of the shipment.
9. The shipper, the consignee and the third party, if      applicable, shall be liable, jointly and severally: (a) for all unpaid      charges payable on account of a shipment pursuant to this Contract, and      (b) to pay or indemnify SELSI INTERNATIONAL for all claims, fines,      penalties, damages, legal expenses, costs or other sums which may be      incurred by SELSI INTERNATIONAL by reason of any violation of this      Contract or any other default of the shipper or consignee or their agents.
10. SELSI INTERNATIONAL shall have a general lien on the      shipment for all sums due and payable to SELSI INTERNATIONAL.
11. In the event of the failure or inability of the      consignee to take delivery of the shipment, SELSI INTERNATIONAL will      notify the shipper in writing at the address shown on the Waybill and      request disposition instructions. If the shipper fails to provide disposition instructions within 30      days after the date of SELSI INTERNATIONAL notice, SELSI INTERNATIONAL      will return shipment to the shipper at the shipper’s expense. If the      shipper fails to accept delivery of a shipment thus returned, SELSI      INTERNATIONAL may, upon 30 days written notice to the shipper, dispose of      the shipment at public or private sale and pay itself out of the proceeds      to any transportation charges owing on the shipment. Any sums collected by SELSI      INTERNATIONAL in excess of such transportation charges will be paid to the      shipper. No sale or disposal      pursuant to this rule will discharge any liability or lien to any greater      extent than the proceeds thereof. The shipper and the consignee shall remain liable, jointly and      severally, for any deficiency.
12. SELSI INTERNATIONAL will exercise due diligence in      routing shipment. In the absence of      specific contrary instructions by the shipper on the Waybill, SELSI      INTERNATIONAL can substitute alternate carriers or means of transportation      (which would include surface as well as water) and select the routing or      deviate from that shown on the reverse side of the Waybill. Regardless of the method of      transportation employed SELSI INTERNATIONAL quoted freight charges from      origin to destination will apply.
13. Domestic or Canadian/Mexico deferred Claims for loss      or damage discovered by the consignee after delivery and after a clear      receipt has been given to SELSI INTERNATIONAL must be reported in writing      to SELSI INTERNATIONAL within 24 hours after delivery of the shipment with      privilege to SELSI INTERNATIONAL to inspect the shipment, its container(s)      and packing material within 12 days.
14. International      claims for loss or damage discovered by the consignee after delivery and      after clear receipt has been given to SELSI INTERNATIONAL must be reported      in writing within 14 days with privilege to SELSI INTERNATIONAL to inspect      the shipment, its container(s) and packing material within 12 days. 
15. For all other loss, damages or delays on a shipment      for which there is no signed receipt, a claim must be made in writing      within a period of 110 days after the date of arrival of the shipment, or      for non-delivery, after the date that the goods should have been      delivered.
16. All Claims for merchandise must be retained in the      original shipping container, in the same condition it was found when the      damage was discovered, until inspected by Selsi International, or until Selsi      International issues an inspection declination letter. Unauthorized disposal of the product      requiring inspection may result in the denial of the claim. It is the duty      of the claimant, where there is value in the salvage, to accept and handle      the damaged merchandise and the shipping container (s) in such a manner as      to mitigate the claimed loss as much as possible, either through repair or      discounted sales.
17. No claim will be concluded until all transportation      charges have been paid. The amount      of a claim may not be deducted from lawful transportation charges owed to Selsi      International by the claimant. The      billable party on the waybill must file a claim. All claims for loss or damage are      subject to a proof of wholesale value.
18. Claims for overcharges or duplicate billing must be      made in writing within one year from the date of acceptance of shipment by      SELSI INTERNATIONAL.
19. SELSI INTERNATIONAL shall not be liable in any action      unless such action is brought within one year after the date written notice is given to the claimant that SELSI      INTERNATIONAL has disallowed the claim in full or in part.
20. For some international air shipments, SELSI      INTERNATIONAL reserves the option to act as an agent of the airline,      instead of as a Forwarder. In such      event the direct airline’s tariffs shall apply to this shipment.
21. To the extent that Federal law does not govern it,      this Contract and the tariffs incorporated by reference shall be construed      and the performance of the transportation hereunder shall be determined in      accordance with the laws of the State in which the shipment is accepted by      SELSI INTERNATIONAL. If any      provision of the Contract, including the tariffs incorporated by      reference, is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of      this Contract shall not be affected thereby.
22. SELSI INTERNATIONAL acts as self-insurer for      liability amounts below one thousand five hundred dollars, and maintains      insurance liability in excess thereof.
23. For COD shipments, the amount of the COD must be      inserted in the COD portion of the Selsi International waybill. Selsi International will under no      circumstances be responsible for the form of the payment by consignee      unless specifically requested otherwise, in writing, by shipper. Selsi International will not be liable      for any fraudulent certified or cashier’s checks. Applicable charges for handling a COD      shipment will be billed within 10 days.
24. Shipper warrants that each package in this shipment      is: (a) properly described on the Waybill; (b) properly marked and      addressed; (c) adequately packaged to protect the enclosed goods for safe      transportation; and (d) in good order and condition except as specifically      noted otherwise. For articles      shipped in open or reused containers, SELSI INTERNATIONAL shall not be      liable for damage or loss in the absence of abusive handling; loss is      evident; and loss is noted on the receipt at time of delivery. The parties      specifically agree that an executed receipt without notification of      abusive handling and/or damage shall be deemed conclusive proof that the      shipment was properly handled with due care. The shipper shall comply with all      applicable laws and government regulations of any country to, from,      through or over which the goods may be carried, including those relating      to the packing, carriage or delivery of the goods, and shall furnish such      information and attach such documents to this waybill as may be necessary      to comply with such laws and regulations. Carrier is not liable to the shipper for loss or expense due to the      shipper’s failure to comply with this provision. 
25. At time of delivery consignee must note on the      Waybill any exceptions to the shipping containers that would indicate a      discrepancy (shortage in the shipment or damage to the containers). The consignee may not inspect the      contents of the shipping containers until the consignee signs for the      shipment on the delivery receipt.

Auxiliary services are those that are performed prior or subsequent      to transportation and which may be billed directly by the provider of the      service or by SELSI INTERNATIONAL. Providers of the auxiliary services are contractors for the shipper      or consignee and are not agents for SELSI INTERNATIONAL. Local carriage is the movement of      unpackaged/uncrated freight. NOTE: Under no circumstances will the liability of SELSI INTERNATIONAL      for loss, damage, or delay, which is the result of any auxiliary services,      performed by SELSI INTERNATIONAL or its agents, be greater than the      liability contained in this Contract.
