In the event the Shipment will not be available for acceptance by the Consignee within 3 hours after the scheduled arrival time, Carrier will notify the Consignee and will determine if the Consignee will accept delivery of the Shipment within 3 hours after the time of notification of arrival or actual arrival of the Shipment, whichever is later. If the Consignee will not accept delivery of the Shipment within such period of time, or if Carrier is unable to contact the Consignee, Carrier will proceed in accordance with the provisions below.

4.

If the Shipment is rejected by Carrier prior to the performance of any transportation by air from the airport of origin, or, if the Consignee fails to accept delivery of the Shipment within 3 hours after the time of notification of arrival or actual arrival of the Shipment, or if Carrier is unable to contact the Consignee within 3 hours after actual arrival of the Shipment. Carrier shall have the authority and charge for:

1.

Hire an armored vehicle, or if the Shipment cannot be accommodated in an armored vehicle, a vehicle with an armed guard to deliver the Shipment to a public warehouse or other suitable repository for safe at the Shipper’s expense, subject to applicable U.S. Customs laws and regulations, and

2.

Hire an armed guard service to protect the Shipment until the Shipment is so disposed of, or until the Consignee accepts the Shipment, whichever occurs first. Carrier will notify the Shipper and Consignee by Collect telegram at the address shown on the Air Waybill if the Shipment has been so disposed of.

5.

If the shipment has not been accepted and the Shipper has not provided Carrier with written instructions regarding the Shipment within 120 hours after the time Carrier has sent notifying letter, fax, or e-mail, Carrier will dispose of the shipment at public or private sale without further notice to the Shipper or Consignee.

6.

The Shipper and owner are liable for all charges and expenses resulting from or in connection with the failure to take delivery of the consignment including, but not limited to, carriage charges incurred in returning the consignment. If the consignment is returned to the airport of departure and the Shipper or owner refuses or neglects to make such payments within 15 days after such return, Carrier will dispose of the consignment or any part thereof at public or private sale after giving the Shipper at the address stated on the Air Waybill 10 days notice of its intention to do so.

3.

The terms and conditions of the Air Waybill and these Rules and Regulations shall extend to such armored vehicle or vehicle with an armed guard hired by Carrier, and all resulting charges incurred by Carrier must be paid by the Shipper of Consignee.

4.

It will be the Shipper’s sole responsibility for any non-compliance with the conditions set for in the Rule relating to or causing any damage, delay, or less of whatsoever nature of the cargo; and the Shipper agrees to indemnify the Carrier for any liability or responsibility for any such damage, delay, loss of whatsoever nature, and penalties the Carrier may incur due to the carriage of such cargo.

Notwithstanding any other provisions or Rules set forth in this Tariff, the following cargo will not be accepted by the Carrier for carriage:

1.

Any articles prohibited by United States Federal Aviation and Government Regulations.

2.

Any articles which may pose a danger to aircraft, persons, property, or cause annoyance to passengers or crew.

3.

Any articles prohibited by the laws or regulation of any country to be transported or flown from, to into or over.

Responsibility for the non-observance of the conditions relating to cargo which is not acceptable for carriage or is acceptable only under certain conditions, rests upon the shipper and the owner of the cargo, who jointly and severally agree to indemnify Carrier for any loss, damage, delay, liability or penalties it may incur from carriage.

At the sole option of the Carrier, the Carrier may inspect the contents of all consignments, but the Carrier shall not be obligated under any circumstances to perform any inspection of any consignment. All Shippers are required to certify that the shipment or consignment does not contain any unauthorized explosives, destructive devices or hazardous material. All Shippers are required to present two forms of identification as required by government regulations.

1. Compliance With Government Requirements:

1.

The Shipper shall comply with all applicable laws, customs and other government regulations of any country to, from, through or over which the cargo may be carried, including those relating to the packing, carriage or delivery of the cargo, and shall furnish such information and attach such documents to the Air Waybill as may be necessary to comply with such laws and regulations. Carrier shall not be obligated to inquire into the correctness or sufficiency of such information or documents. Carrier shall not be liable to the Shipper or any other person for loss or expense due to Shipper’s failure to comply with this provision.

2.

No liability shall attach to Carrier, who, in good faith determines that what it understands to be the applicable law, government regulation, demand, order or requirement, requires that it refuse and it does refuse to carry a consignment.

2. Disbursements And Customs Formalities:

Carrier will, but shall be under no obligation to advance any duties, taxes or charges and to make any disbursements with respect to the cargo, and the Shipper, owner and Consignee shall be jointly and severally liable for the reimbursement thereof. Carrier shall not be under obligation to incur any expense or to make any advance in connection with the forwarding or re-forwarding of the cargo except against prepayment by the Shipper. If it is necessary to make customs entry of the cargo at any place, the cargo shall be considered to be consigned at such place to the person named on the face of the Air Waybill as customs Consignee or, if no such person be named, to the Carrier carrying the cargo to such place or to such customs Consignee,

if any, as such Carrier may designate. For any such purpose a copy of the Air Waybill, certified by Carrier, shall be considered an original.

3. Schedules, Routings, And Cancellation

Carrier reserves the right without notice, to cancel, terminate, divert, postpone, delay or advance or further carriage of any cargo, or to proceed with any flight without all or any part of the cargo, if it considers that it would be advisable to do so because of any fact beyond its control or not reasonably to be foreseen, anticipated, or predicted at the same time the cargo was accepted; or if it considers that any other circumstance so require. Also see Rule 72

1.

Times shown in timetables or elsewhere are approximate and not guaranteed and form no part of the contract of carriage. No time is fixed for the commencement or completion of carriage or delivery of cargo. Unless otherwise provided in Carrier’s regulations, Carrier assumes no obligation to carry the cargo by any specified aircraft or over any particular route or routes, or to make connections at any point according to any particular schedule, and Carrier is hereby authorized to select or deviate from the route(s) of consignment, notwithstanding that the same may be stated on the face of the Air Waybill. Carrier is not responsible for errors or omissions whether in timetables or other representations of schedules. No employee, agent or representative of Carrier is authorized to bind Carrier by any statements or representations of the dates or time of departure or arrival, or of the operation of any flight.

2.

Carrier may substitute alternate Carrier or aircraft.

3.

Carrier may cancel, terminate, divert, postpone, advance, delay or terminate at another place of destination any flight, or the further right of carriage, or proceed with any flight without all or any part of the cargo, if it considers that it would be advisable to do so:

1.

because of any fact beyond its control (including, but without limitation to, meteorological conditions, acts of God, force majeure, strikes, riots, civil commotions, embargoes, wars, hostilities, disturbances, or unsettled international conditions) or because of any delay, demand, condition, circumstance, or requirement due to such facts; or

2.

because of government regulation, order, demand or requirement, or

3.

because of shortage of labor, fuel, or facilities, or labor difficulties of Carrier.

4.

Carrier will cancel the carriage of a consignment upon the refusal of the Shipper, after demand by such Carrier to pay the charges or the portion thereof so demanded, without being subject to any liability therefore.

5.

In the event any flight is so canceled, postponed or advanced or is terminated at a place other than the place of destination or in the event the carriage of any consignment is so canceled, postponed, advanced or terminated, Carrier shall not be under any liability with respect thereto. In the event the carriage of the consignment or any part thereof is so terminated, delivery thereof by Carrier to any transfer agent for transfer or delivery or the placing of such consignment in storage shall be deemed complete delivery under the Air Waybill, and Carrier shall be without any further liability with respect thereto, except to give notice of the disposition of the consignment to the Shipper or to the Consignee, at the address stated in the Air Waybill. Carrier may, but shall not be obligated to forward the consignment for carriage by any other route or forward the consignment as agent for the Shipper or the Consignee, for onward carriage by any transportation service on behalf of the Shipper or the Consignee. The cost of so doing attaches to the cargo.

6.

Subject to applicable government laws, regulations and orders, Carrier will determine, on a reasonable and not unjustly discriminatory basis, the priority of carriage as between consignments and as between consignments and other cargo, mail and passengers, and will decide which articles shall be carried and which articles shall not be carried or shall be removed at any time or place whatsoever and to proceed with any flight without all or part of the goods in one consignment.

7.

If in the opinion of Carrier it is necessary to hold the shipment at any place for any reasonable purpose, either before, during or after carriage, Carrier may upon giving notice thereof to the Shipper store the shipment for the account and at the risk and expense of the Shipper, in any warehouse or other available place, or with the customs authorities; or Carrier may deliver the shipment to another transportation service for onward carriage to the Consignee. The Shipper shall indemnify the Carrier against any expense or risk so incurred.

1.

Exercise Of Right Of Disposition: Every exercise of the right of disposition must be made by the Shipper or his designated agent, if any, and must be applicable to the whole consignment under a single Air Waybill. The right of disposition over the cargo may only be exercised if the Shipper or such agent produces the part of the Air Waybill which was delivered to him. Instructions as to disposition must be given in writing to Carrier. In the event that the exercise of the right of disposition results in a change of Consignee, such new Consignee shall be considered to be the Consignee appearing on the Air Waybill.

2.

Shipper’s Option: Subject to their liability to carry out all their obligations under the contract of carriage and provided that this right of disposition is not exercised in such a way as to prejudice carriage or other Shippers, the Shipper may dispose of the cargo either:

1.

By withdrawing it at the airport of departure or of destination;

2.

By stopping it in the course of the journey on any landing;

3.

By calling for it to be delivered at the place of destination or in the course of the journey to a person other than the Consignee named in the Air Waybill; or

4.

By requiring it to be returned to the airport of departure.

3.

Payment Of Expenses: The Shipper shall be liable for and shall indemnify Carrier for all damage suffered or incurred by Carrier as a result of the exercise of this right of disposition. The Shipper shall reimburse Carrier for any expenses occasioned by the exercise of his right of disposition.

4.

Carrier’s Inability To Comply: If it is not practicable to carry out the order of the Shipper, Carrier shall so inform him promptly. The cost of so doing attaches to the cargo.

5.

Extent Of Shipper’s Right: The Shipper’s right of disposition shall cease at the moment when, after arrival of the cargo at destination, the Consignee or his agent takes possession of the consignment, or otherwise shows acceptance of the cargo. Nevertheless, if the Consignee declines to accept the Air Waybill or the cargo, or if he cannot be communicated with such right of disposition shall continue to vest in the Shipper.

1.

Delivery To Consignee:

1.

Except as specifically provided in the air waybill, delivery of the consignment will be made to the consignee named on the face of the air waybill, unless such consignee is one of the Carriers participating in the carriage, in which event delivery shall be made to the party indicated on the face of the air waybill as the party to be notified. Delivery to the consignee shall be considered to have been affected when the consignment has been delivered to customs or other government authorities as required to enable the consignee to obtain release of the consignment and Carrier has forwarded the notice of arrival referred to in
Paragraph B of this rule

2.

Delivery of the consignment shall be made by Carrier only upon written receipt of the consignee and upon compliance with all other applicable terms and conditions of the air waybill and of this tariff.

3.

Carrier will not accept instructions from the Shipper to obtain, proof of payment for the consignment or acceptance of a draft check or bill of exchange prior to release of a shipment to the consignee.

2.

Notice Of Arrival: Unless the consignment is to be re-forwarded in accordance with
Rule 95 herein, notice of arrival of the consignment will in the absence of other instructions be given to the consignee or the party to be notified, such notice will be given by ordinary methods. Carrier is not liable for non-receipt or delay in receipt of such notice.

3.

Place Of Delivery: The consignee or his agent must accept delivery of and collect the consignment at the airport of destination unless the shipment is to be re-forwarded in accordance with Rule 95 herein.

4.

Failure Of Consignee To Take Delivery:

1.

Subject to the provisions in Paragraph E hereof, if the consignee refuses or fails to take delivery of the consignment after its arrival at the place of delivery, Carrier will endeavor to comply with any instructions of the Shipper set forth on the face of the air waybill. If no such instructions are so set forth, or if such instructions cannot be complied with, Carrier, after forwarding to the Shipper notice of the failure of the consignee to take delivery, will:

1.

return the consignment to the airport of departure, there to await instructions of the Shipper; or

2.

after holding the consignment for period of not less than (30) days, sell such consignment in one or more lots at public or private sale.

2.

The Shipper and owner are liable for all charges and expenses resulting from or in connection with the failure to take delivery of the consignment (prepaid and collect shipments), including, but not limited to, carriage and warehousing charges incurred in returning the consignment. If the consignment is returned to the airport of departure and the Shipper or owner refuses or neglects to make such payments within 15 days after such return, Carrier will dispose of the consignment or any part thereof at public or private sale after giving the Shipper at the address stated on the air waybill 10 days notice of its intention to do so.

3.

In the event of the sale of the consignment as provided for above, either at the place of destination or at the place to which the consignment has been returned, Carrier will pay out the proceeds of such sale all charges, advances and expenses plus costs of sale, holding any surplus subject to the order of the Shipper. A sale of any consignment shall, however, not discharge the Shipper and/or owner of any liability hereunder to pay any deficiencies due to Carrier.

5.

Disposal Of Perishables: When a consignment containing perishable articles is delayed in the possession of Carrier, is unclaimed or refused at place of delivery, or for other reasons is threatened with deterioration, Carrier will immediately take such steps necessary for the protection of itself and other parties in interest, including but not limited to the destruction or abandonment of all or any part of the shipment, the sending of communications at the cost of the Shipper, the storage of the consignment or any part thereof at the expense of the Shipper, or the disposition of the consignment or any part thereof at public or private sale without notice. The sale of any such consignment however, shall not discharge the Shipper of any liability to pay any charges and expenses due Carrier.

Consignments are accepted for carriage from their receipt at Carrier’s Cargo Terminal or designated facility at the place of departure to the airport at the place of destination or for re-forwarding beyond the airport to destination. If such forwarding or re-forwarding is by carriage operated by Carrier, such carriage shall be upon the same terms as to liability as set forth in Paragraph (A) & (B) of Rule 70 hereof. In any other event, the issuing Carrier and last Carrier, respectively, in forwarding and re-forwarding the consignments, shall do so only as agents of the Shipper, owner, or Consignee, as the case may be and shall not be liable for any damage arising out of such additional carriage unless proved to have been caused by its own negligence or willful fault. Carrier will do all things advisable to effect such forwarding or re-forwarding, including but without limitation, selection of means of forwarding or re-forwarding and the routes thereof (unless these have been specified by the Shipper in the Air Waybill), execution and acceptance of document of carriage (which may include provisions exempting from or limiting liability) and consigning of consignments with no declaration of value, notwithstanding any declaration of value in the Air Waybill.

Carriage to be performed under one Air Waybill by several successive carriers is regarded as a single operation.

1.

Carriage hereunder is subject to the rules and limitations relating to liability by the Convention unless such carriage is not “international carriage” as defined by the Convention.

2.

To the extent not in conflict with the provisions of Paragraph (A) above, all carriage and other services performed by each Carrier are subject to:

1.

Applicable laws (including national laws implementing the Convention or extending the rules of the Convention to carriage which is not “international carriage” as defined in the Convention), government regulations, orders and requirements.

2.

This and other applicable tariffs, rules and regulations of Carrier may be inspected at any of its offices and at airports from which it operates regular services.

3.

For the purposes of the Convention, the agreed stopping places (which may be altered by Carrier in case of necessity) are those places, except the place of departure and the place of destination, set forth in the Air Waybill or shown in Carrier’s timetable as scheduled stopping places for the route.

4.

In the case of carriage subject to the Convention, the Shipper acknowledges that he has been given an opportunity to make a special declaration of the value of the cargo at acceptance of consignment by Carrier and that the sum entered on the face of the Air Waybill as Shipper’s “declared value for carriage”, if in excess the value of a national currency equivalent to the applicable regime’s Special Drawing Rights per kilogram calculated in accordance with the method of valuation applied by the in effect at the date of the judgment, constitutes such special declaration of value.

Except as the convention or other applicable law may otherwise require:

A.

Carrier is not liable to the Shipper or to any other person for any damage, delay or loss of whatsoever nature (hereinafter in this tariff collectively referred to as “damage”) arising out of or in connection with the carriage of the cargo or other services performed by Carrier incidental thereto, unless such damage is proved to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful fault of the Carrier, and there has been no contributory negligence on the part of the Shipper, Consignee or other claimants releases the Carrier of its liability to the extend provided by applicable Convention and applicable law.

B.

Carrier is not liable for any damage directly or indirectly arising of compliance with laws, government regulations, and order of requirements, or from any cause beyond Carrier’s control.

C.

The charges for carriage having been based upon the value declared by the Shipper, it is agreed that any liability shall in no event exceed the Shipper’s “declared value for carriage” stated on the face of the Air Waybill. In the absence of such declaration by the Shipper on the face of the Air Waybill, liability of the Carrier shall not exceed the lesser of:

1.

The value of a national currency equivalent to the applicable regime’s Special Drawing Rights per kilogram and is calculated in accordance with the method of valuation applied by the International Monetary Fund, in effect at the date of the judgment, for “international carriage”, or

2.

$.50 USD per pound for “domestic carriage”, or

3.

The invoice value, or actual cash value, of the cargo destroyed, lost, damaged, or delayed. All claims shall be subject to proof of value.

D.

Carrier shall not be liable for damage to or destruction of a consignment cause by or as a result of property contained therein and the Shipper, owner and Consignee, whose property shall cause damage to or destruction of another consignment or of the property of Carrier, shall indemnify Carrier for all losses and expenses incurred by Carrier as a result thereof. Cargo which is likely to endanger aircraft, persons or property will be abandoned or destroyed by Carrier at any time without notice and without liability therefore attaching to Carrier.

E.

No warranty concerning any aircraft engaged in the carriage or concerning its fitness for the carriage of the cargo to which the contract relates is implied in the contract of carriage.

F.

A Carrier issuing an Air Waybill for carriage over the lines of others does so only as an agent. The Carrier shall not be liable for the loss, damage, or delay of cargo not occurring on its own line, except that the consignor shall have a right of action for such loss, damage, or delay on the terms herein provided against the first Carrier, and the Consignee who is entitled to delivery shall have such a right of action against the last Carrier under the agreement to carry.

G.

Carrier will not be liable for any loss, damage or expense arising from death due to natural causes or death or injury of any animal caused by the conduct or acts of the animal itself or of other animals, such as biting, kicking, goring or smothering, nor for that caused or contributed to by the conditions, nature or propensities of the animals.

H.

Shipments, the contents of which are liable to deteriorate or perish due to change in the climate, temperature, altitude or other ordinary exposure, or because of length of time in transit, will be accepted without responsibility on the part of Carrier for loss or damage due to such deterioration or perishability.

1.

Packaging Requirements: All domestic shipments must be packed to withstand 48 hours transit time (within the 50 United States, excluding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Shipment to and from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands need to packed to withstand 72 hour transit time).All international shipments must be packaged to withstand 72 hour transit time (to or from destinations outside the 50 United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

I.

Carrier shall not be liable in any event for any consequential or special damages (to include but not limited to loss of profits) arising from carriage subject to this tariff, whether or not Carrier had knowledge that such damages might be incurred.

J.

Whenever liability of Carrier is excluded or limited under these conditions, such exclusion or limitation shall apply to agents, servants or representatives.

Definition of a cargo claim: A cargo claim is a written complaint demanding financial restitution from an air Carrier for the loss of or damage or delay to cargo whilst in the care, custody and control under a contract of carriage.

1.

Legal Regime: A contract for the carriage of cargo by air is subject to:

1.

The conditions of contract (found on the reverse of original copies 1, 2 or 3 of the Air Waybill);

2.

The Carrier’s general conditions of carriage;

3.

The applicable international convention or the domestic law applicable to the contract of carriage;

4.

Carrier’s applicable Tariff for carriage;

5.

For international convention carriage there are four main legal regimes:

A.

Warsaw Convention 1929

B.

Warsaw Convention as amended by Hague Protocol 1955

C.

Warsaw Convention as amended by Montreal Protocol No 4

D.

Montreal Convention 1999

2.

The Claimant: The Claimant must produce documentary evidence to prove that the Claimant is the rightful person entitled to claim. The Claimant must also establish that the amount claimed is justified. The Claimant should also take reasonable action to mitigate his loss. Notice of Claim: The cargo claims process begins with the submission of a valid written claim letter that must include:

1.

Name of the Shipper

2.

Name of Consignee Air Waybill number;

3.

Flight number and Carrier name;

4.

A brief description of the goods lost or damaged;

5.

Total shipment value in U.S. Dollars; and

6.

Total amount of claimed in U.S. Dollars.

3.

Time Limitation To File A Notice Of Claim: For Convention carriage, the different liability regimes determine the time limit within which the notice of claim must be sent to the Carrier. Whichever convention applies, the person entitled to delivery of the cargo should send the notice of claim.

If the claim involves non-convention international carriage, reference should be made to the law applicable to the contract of carriage and terms of the Air Waybill to identify who should send the written notice.

The notice of claim must be sent to the Carrier. Certain legal systems consider that notice to the Carrier’s handling agent does not constitute valid notice for the purpose of the Conventions and therefore it is recommended that wherever possible, notice should only be sent to the Carrier.

1.

Receipt without exception or complaint by the party entitled to delivery of the cargo is prima facie evidence that the same has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with the contract of carriage.

2.

All other claims, except any claims relating to personal injury or death, and claims for overcharges, must be made in writing within one-hundred fifty (150) days from the date of issue of the Air Waybill.

3.

All merchandise must be retained in the original shipping container for a period of five (5) business days after the Carrier has received notice of damage or concealed loss, in order that the Carrier may make inspection thereof.

4.

General Categories Of Cargo Claims

1.

Full or partial loss of shipment: A loss occurs when the whole or part of the shipment does not reach its destination and the Carrier is unable to find it.

2.

Delay in carriage of cargo: The Carrier is not liable for loss suffered as a result of delay in the carriage of cargo only in circumstances where the delay was a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Carrier.

3.

Visible damage: This type of damage is readily apparent and can be seen without opening the shipment. It can occur as a result of poor packing of the shipment or improper storage.

4.

Concealed damage: Damage that is not apparent is referred to as concealed damage. This type is common where the consignment contains more than one piece or when the shipment is packed in cartons and is impossible to determine if there is damage to the shipment without opening each individual item.

5.

Subrogated claims: If the Shipper insures the cargo, the insurer who indemnifies him under the terms of the insurance coverage may, as a matter of law, be entitled to seek recovery of the amount paid to his insured from the party who is liable for the loss to the cargo.

Note: No claim for loss or damage to a shipment will be entertained until all transportation charges thereon have been paid in full. The amount of the claim may not be deducted from transportation charges; for more information see Rule 16. Any right to damages against the Carrier shall be extinguished unless the applicable provisions of this rule have been complied with by the claimant and unless an action is brought within two (2) years after the occurrence of the events given arise to the claim.

No agent, servant or representative of Carrier has authority to alter, modify or waive any provisions of the contract of carriage or of this tariff without the execution of a CCA.
