I. ACCOUNT NUMBERS AND ADDRESS CORRECTION<br />
A. A valid <strong>UPS</strong> <strong>Supply</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> account number is required for all U.S. <strong>and</strong> Canadian shipments unless<br />
payment is made at time <strong>of</strong> shipment. The use <strong>of</strong> a valid <strong>UPS</strong> <strong>Supply</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> account number ensures<br />
that (i) invoices are sent to the proper locations for payment; (ii) account activity is accurately summarized by<br />
our system; <strong>and</strong>, (iii) the payor is billed with the appropriate rate.<br />
B. Account numbers will be made available to all qualified customers.<br />
C. In the event that an earned discount is not applied to an invoice because the payor’s account number was omitted<br />
on the Air Waybill, no adjustment will be allowed.<br />
D. In the event a Consignee’s address or ZIP/Postal code is found to be incorrect, we will attempt to determine the<br />
correct address <strong>and</strong> complete the delivery as expeditiously as possible, but we assume no responsibility for our<br />
inability to complete delivery under such circumstances. A special h<strong>and</strong>ling fee per correction will be assessed<br />
for this service. If the correct address can’t be determined <strong>and</strong> if the Consignee cannot be reached, the Shipper<br />
will be contacted for address clarification or instructions for the return <strong>of</strong> the shipment. (See Section XVIII.<br />
NOTICE AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY.)<br />
E. U.S. Postal Regulations preclude delivery <strong>of</strong> shipments to P.O. Box addresses, P.O. Box ZIP codes or APO<br />
boxes. Therefore, any shipment addressed to P.O. Box addresses, P.O. Box ZIP codes or APO boxes will be<br />
considered an incorrect address <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>led as outlined in Section I.D above.<br />
II. ADVANCEMENT OF CHARGES<br />
A. Upon request, <strong>and</strong> restricted to those points beyond the normal pickup <strong>and</strong> delivery area (“beyond points”), we<br />
will advance the charges for transportation, cartage, storage, loading, unloading, unpacking, packing, <strong>and</strong><br />
processing not performed by us when a sufficient guarantee is given by either the Shipper or Consignee that such<br />
additional charges will be paid. We will not advance any charges within the normal pickup <strong>and</strong> delivery area.<br />
However, as a convenience to the customer, we will rebill “house trucker” charges along with a h<strong>and</strong>ling fee.<br />
B. We will not advance charges on any shipment on which prepayment <strong>of</strong> charges is required unless the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
such advances has been deposited by check with us.<br />
III. THE AIR WAYBILL<br />
A. The Shipper shall have the duty to prepare <strong>and</strong> present a current version <strong>of</strong> our Air Waybill for each shipment.<br />
Notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing who prepared the Air Waybill or the originating documentation, it shall conclusively be deemed<br />
to have been prepared by the Shipper. Customers’ shipping documents will not be accepted; the Air Waybill<br />
must be used. In the event other shipping documentation, including without limitation a version <strong>of</strong> our Air<br />
Waybill other than our current version, or customer provided documentation, is inadvertently accepted by us, it<br />
shall be deemed to be utilized for convenience purposes only, <strong>and</strong> any such shipment shall be subject to these<br />
<strong>Terms</strong>. The Air Waybill or other shipping document shall be non-negotiable. Each shipment shall be subject to<br />
the rules, regulations, rates, <strong>and</strong> charges contained in the Air Waybill, the <strong>UPS</strong> <strong>Supply</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> Cities<br />
Served Directory, these <strong>Terms</strong> <strong>and</strong> all Tariffs in effect on the day <strong>of</strong> acceptance <strong>of</strong> such shipment.<br />
B. The Air Waybill shall be binding upon the Shipper, the Consignee, any other party with an interest in the<br />
shipment, us, <strong>and</strong> our agents.<br />
C. In tendering the shipment, the Shipper <strong>and</strong> the Consignee agree to these <strong>Terms</strong> <strong>and</strong> no employee, agent or<br />
representative <strong>of</strong> the parties, other than an Officer <strong>of</strong> <strong>UPS</strong> <strong>Supply</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong>, is authorized to modify any <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>Terms</strong>. All <strong>Terms</strong>, including but not limited to Limitations <strong>of</strong> Liability contained herein, shall apply to our<br />
agents <strong>and</strong> their contracting carriers.<br />
D. If requested, we will provide the Shipper with a copy <strong>of</strong> the Air Waybill, Bill <strong>of</strong> Lading, Shipper’s Manifest or<br />
other non-negotiable shipping document on which the shipment was tendered to us. A charge per copy will be<br />
assessed for this service.<br />
E. It is the Shipper’s sole responsibility to accurately <strong>and</strong> completely describe the contents <strong>of</strong> all shipments on the<br />
Air Waybill.<br />
F. A contact name <strong>and</strong> phone number for the Shipper must be legibly written on the Air Waybill.<br />
