Cat F: over 1,000,000 sq ft Membership No: 50417 Company: DSV Solutions UKWA LTD CONTRACT CONDITIONS FOR LOGISTICS (2024 ) (Valid from 1 April 2024 – 30 April 2025) These conditions are copyright and reserved for use by current UKWA (UK Warehousing Association) members. The Company provides all items and services on the following Conditions which can be varied only in writing by an Officer of the Company. The Company is a member of UKWA and is not a common carrier. If a Customer’s acceptance document, purchase order or other communication, received by the Company before or after notification of these Conditions, contains terms at variance with these Conditions, then every such term shall be of no effect. IMPORTANT NOTE CONDITION 3 EXCLUDES THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY FOR SOME ASPECTS OF LOSS AND LIMITS IT FOR THE REMAINDER, WITH TIME LIMITS FOR CLAIMS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. The Customer must insure the Goods. The Company does not insure Goods or underwrite their value and may not know their nature or value ; the rates charged reflect this . The exclusion and limitation of liability in Condition 3 minimises the amount that the Company would otherwise need to charge to recover its insurance costs (or an amount in lieu to reflect risk). THE 1.1. 1.2. 1.3. COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS The Company will provide its services with reasonable skill and care. In the absence of written instruction to the Company given a reasonable time in advance with sufficient warning and detail, no particular precautions nor any special treatment need be taken or provided for the Goods by the Company or its subcontractors, nor shall time be of the essence for performance by the Company. In the case of bulk Goods, unless the parties have agreed otherwise the Company may deal with and/or mix apparently similar goods consigned by or for the Customer without distinguishing between consignments. In the case of carriage by the Company, its responsibility for the Goods starts when loading on the vehicle is complete and ends when the Goods are tendered for unloading. In the case of storage and / or processing it starts when they are accepted into store by the Company and ends when they are tendered by the Company or its subcontractors for collection, or the Company becomes aware of the grounds for their removal under Condition 2.2 or on the expiry of notice under Condition 7.1 or 7.2. Unless the contract between the parties provides otherwise, the Company is not responsible for loading or unloading the Goods but where the Company provides storage and carriage it shall also be responsible for the Goods while they are transferred from its vehicle into its store and vice versa. In the case of forwarding, the Company’s responsibility is only to engage or propose apparently competent contractors and to give them adequate instructions (on the basis of, and limited to, matters known to the Company) in relation to the Goods; and in this case, or where the contract is for advice, it is not responsible for the Goods themselves.
