These general terms and conditions relevant to carriage and shipment are in force and must be applied to any service provided by GBA s.a.s., unless specific terms and conditions are agreed with the sender and approved in writing by a legal representative of GBA s.a.s.

The sender commits to correctly declare, upon consigning the goods, the content and value of the packages entrusted for the shipment and/or carriage. He also commits to correctly fill out the documents provided by Air Express s.a.s. in order to allow the carrier to handle the shipment and/or carriage and to give the carrier all the authorisations necessary to carry out the import/export customs duties. The Airway Bill cannot be transferred to third parties. In order to assure that the sender complies to the transportation provisions and obligations, the only indications written on forms will be taken in consideration, regardless of any other document, even if stamped by the sender. The senders, as well as their collaborators, are requested to check the correspondence between what they intended and what they actually wrote on the documents and forms.

GBA s.a.s. has the right, although not the duty, to inspect whatever goods for whatever reason at any moment. The sender, in order to determine the rate in force relevant to the service provided, expressly declares to accept unconditionally that the value upon which such rate applies is the highest value between the taxable weight and the volumetric weight, electronically determined by GBA s.a.s., even if such weight is not in accordance with the Client's declaration. A Fuel Surcharge will be applied to all the national and international shipments according to the fluctuation of the fuel cost. Such charge will be update on a monthly bases according to the parameters you can find on our web site.

As Customs offices are above parties structures, their decisions such as (but not limited to), delay in releasing the goods, inspections, duties and charges, cannot be either ascribed to or influenced by GBA s.a.s.. GBA s.a.s. is not responsible furthermore for sender's declarations which may differ from the actual content of the shipment.

The goods cannot be delivered to P.O. Boxes or other postal code numbers. Shipments will be delivered to the receiver's address which the sender has stated, but not necessarily to the receiver in person. Goods destined to addresses which represent a central or unique receipt centre will be delivered to those centres.

GBA s.a.s. makes the maximum effort in order to deliver the goods as soon as possible, depending on the destination of the shipments. However, GBA s.a.s. will not be responsible for delays in pick up, transportation or delivery of any goods, regardless of the reason of such delay and regardless of the sender's request for a special timing in the delivery, even if stated on the accompanying documents. GBA s.a.s. reserves the right to abandon the goods if, having requested, in writing, for instructions and/or documents, the sender doesn't provide them within 30 days.

C.O.Ds, which apply only for domestic traffic, can be requested by senders by stating exclusively on the transportation document, in a very visible way, the word "COD" followed by the amount in letters or numbers. In case of theft or robbery, the carrier's sole duty is limited to providing both the sender and the receiver, of a copy of the complaint, in order to allow the voidance of the instrument of credit.

In case of a specific insurance request, the applicant undertakes to duly complete the appropriate form prepared by GBA S.a.s. and to send a copy of the purchase invoice / tax receipt proving the value of the goods subject to the request. In the absence of completion and/or return of this form, of the characteristics necessary for insurance coverage (new goods whose value is proven by invoice/tax receipt) and if the documentation requested by the insurance company for the management of the practice is not then provided, it will not be possible to take out specific insurance. If the customer uses our IT system directly for the compilation of shipping bulletins, it will not be necessary to fill out the paper application form, but simply request specific insurance coverage or Service Plus, filling in the appropriate fields (please always indicate also the type of goods and not only the value of the insurance coverage requested) and accepting the conditions defined herein to regulate the criteria of insurance coverage. For "Service Plus" insurance cover for goods with a value of less than 2.500,00 (two thousand five hundred) it is not necessary to fill in the appropriate form and provide the documentation in advance, but it is enough to fill in the appropriate field of application to the system. For goods with a value greater than 30.000,00 (thirty thousand) please contact our customer service in advance. In the event of a claim, the specific insurance claim entitles you to compensation net of the following deductibles/overdrafts: AIR/SEA/RAIL TRANSPORT WORLDWIDE In case of theft, robbery, tampering, loss and shortages in general 10% uncovered with a minimum of 250,00 For any other event, a fixed excess of 250,00.
