TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. AUTHORIZATION FOR CREDIT REVIEW
Customer hereby authorizes MC Carrier LLC to obtain any information pertaining to Customer that MC Carrier LLC deems appropriate from any sources or references given by Customer to MC Carrier LLC and from any national credit bureaus, creditors of Customer, banks or other financial institutions and any other available source; and Customer authorizes each such source to provide information to MC Carrier LLC in connection with this Credit Application & Agreement (“Agreement”).
2. NO OBLIGATION TO EXTEND CREDIT
Customer understands that MC Carrier LLC has no obligation to extend credit to Customer and that MC Carrier LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may terminate the extension of any account accommodations or credit to Customer at any time for any reason or for no reason whatsoever.
3. PAYMENT TERMS
If credit is extended, Customer agrees to pay in full the invoice price for all services provided by MC Carrier LLC promptly within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date or in accordance with the terms provided on the invoice, if any, and to not offset alleged claim amounts against freight charges. All quoted pricing reflects a 3.5% discount for cash (or cash equivalent) payment. If a credit card is used to make payment, the cash discount will be removed, and the invoiced price will be adjusted accordingly. Customer agrees that if an invoice is not timely paid on or before its due date, that interest will accrue on the amount owing at the rate of one and on half percent (1.5%) per month on all past due amounts. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the payment of freight charges may not be delayed due to alleged loss of or damage to a shipment or delay in delivery of the same. Customer agrees to notify MC Carrier LLC, in writing, of any error or dispute in any invoice within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. If the Customer fails to give MC Carrier LLC notice of an error or dispute of charges encompassed in an invoice, then the invoice shall be deemed to be correct, and Customer deemed to have agreed to pay without dispute. MC Carrier LLC does not provide original paperwork (bills of lading, delivery receipts, etc.) with its invoices; however, scanned copies may be provided upon request.
4. COLLECTION COSTS AND ATTORNEY FEE
Customer agrees to pay in full all costs and expenses incurred by MC Carrier LLC in collecting the amounts owed by Customer under this Agreement, including any and all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
5. GOVERNING LAW/VENUE/JURISDICTION
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions. Any litigation between Customer and MC Carrier LLC shall take place in the state and federal courts situated in Las Vegas, Nevada. Customer hereby consents to that venue and waives and agrees not to assert any claim that it is not personally subject to such jurisdiction in Las Vegas, Nevada or that any action or other proceeding brought in compliance with this section is brought in an inconvenient forum.
6. DEFAULT
The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this Agreement and any other agreements between Customer and MC Carrier LLC: (a) Customer fails to perform any obligation, or other undertaking, required by this Agreement or any other agreement between Customer and MC Carrier LLC; (b) Customer dies; dissolves; ceases operations; abandons its business; becomes insolvent; becomes the subject of bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, or similar proceedings; or, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (c) Any information or other representation now or hereafter made or furnished to MC Carrier LLC by Customer or at Customer’s request or instruction is, or is believed in good faith by MC Carrier LLC to be, inaccurate, incomplete, or false in any material respect; or (d) Any other event which causes MC Carrier LLC, in good faith, to believe that the prospect of performance of any provision of this Agreement by Customer is impaired.
7. NO LIABILITY/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Customer recognizes that MC Carrier LLC has authority to act as common carrier of property. In the event of loss or damage to cargo, while the cargo is transported by MC Carrier LLC, unless Customer declares a higher value for cargo in writing to MC Carrier LLC (additional liability coverage charges will apply to MC Carrier LLC’s service rates), MC Carrier LLC’s cargo liability is limited to $2.00 per pound per lost or damaged article, the manufacturer’s cost, or $20,000, whichever is less. (Any single claim for less than $100 will not be considered.) Regardless of the declared value of the cargo, MC Carrier LLC’s liability for loss, damage, delay, misdelivery, or nondelivery, will not exceed the $2.00 per pound per lost or damaged article, manufacturer’s cost, cargo’s repair cost, depreciated value, or its replacement cost, or $20,000, whichever is less, unless there is a specific writing in which MC Carrier LLC agrees to a greater amount of liability. Customer should contact an insurance broker if Customer desires insurance applicable to cargo that MC Carrier LLC arranges to be transported. MC Carrier LLC DOES NOT PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE OF ANY KIND. MC Carrier LLC does not guarantee service delivery times and is not liable for “loss of sales,” consequential or indirect damages associated to the loss, damage, or delay of any shipment. This paragraph does not waive or otherwise impair MC Carrier LLC’s rights and defenses with regard to whether MC Carrier LLC is liable for cargo loss or damage. Notwithstanding any other term or conditions of the Agreement, MC Carrier LLC shall have no liability for temperature or altitude related damage to ice cream.
8. WAIVER
MC Carrier LLC may, at its option, permit Customer to remedy any default under this Agreement without waiving any of its rights or remedies related to such default or any subsequent or prior default by Customer. Customer waives any right to notice from MC Carrier LLC of Customer’s default of this Agreement.
9. ADDITIONONAL SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Customer further agrees to the Terms and Conditions of MC Carrier LLC arranging for the transportation of freight. Such Terms and Conditions are available upon request and prevail over all bills of lading or other agreements or documents. Such Terms and Conditions may be changed by MC Carrier LLC from time-to-time and the Terms and Conditions as posted on MC Carrier LLC’s website as of the day that a load is picked up by an MC Carrier LLC truck shall apply to such load. Such Terms and Conditions posted on MC Carrier LLC’s website are hereby incorporated by reference and made part hereof.
