SC Marvicon SRL is only bound to inspect the Container for manifestly visible defects in the external condition, from the ground in a standing position and without entering the Container. External condition of the Container(s) means the external condition of the empty container or the loaded and sealed container. SC Marvicon SRL has no responsibility whatsoever with regard to the internal condition or with regard to hidden non-conformity of the Container(s), even if the contrary is set out in the Customer's Transport Assignment.

  5. SC Marvicon SRL cannot be held liable for meteorological influences on the Container such as, inter alia, condensation and humidity levels.

VIII. Contents of the Containers

  1. Containers presented to SC Marvicon SRL in loaded condition will be taken into receipt without inspection of the Goods to be transported as to their contents, quantity, weight and condition. The stipulation "said to contain" legally applies in those cases. When loading the Container the Shipper or his designated third party is responsible for closing and sealing the Container. Unless explicitly otherwise stipulated in writing in the Agreement, the Consignee or his representative is responsible for breaking the seal and opening the Container.
  2. In the event of overloading of the SC Marvicon SRL vehicle (on the axles or on the total weight) caused by poor stowage in the Container or exceeding of the total weight,the Customer will reimburse SC Marvicon SRL for all economic loss ensuing therefrom (including penalties for overloading) and/or damage to the vehicle.

IX.Delivery dates

  1. SC Marvicon SRL will deliver the Container(s) to the Unloading Place within the delivery time stated in the Agreement, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the CMR Convention.

X.Freight Price

  1. Calculation of the Freight Price
    The Freight Price is set out in the Agreement exclusive of VAT.
    The Freight Price includes 1 hour of waiting time, 2 hours of loading and 2 hours of unloading. If the loading or unloading exceeds 2 hours, the Customer will owe SC Marvicon SRL a supplement for these additional waiting hours. Waiting hours are counted per every tranche of 15 minutes which has started with a rate of 11.25 euros per tranche of 15 minutes which has started. Waiting hours can be proven by all legal remedies and time registration such as, inter alia, GPS, tachograph.
    Subject to contrary provisions in the Agreement the Freight Price only encompasses transports which are executed during the normal working week. A supplement as stipulated in the Agreement is charged for performance on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
  2. Scope of the Freight Price
    The Freight Price is inclusive of the insurance provided for in accordance with the provisions of the CMR Convention, but exclusive of the costs for port, quay fees, other costs of third parties and all other expenses, taxes, charges, levies or duties — including but not limited to the environment charge and toll— which is claimed by any government or other public authority in connection with the performance of the Agreement, even in the event that these costs were not yet known or applicable at the time the Agreement was entered into.
  3. Adjustment of Freight Price. In the event of rising fuel prices, price adjustments will also be made in relation to these increases. These price adjustments are automatically applied to existing Agreements and are invoiced in addition to and on top of the initial Freight Price.
  4. Waiting hours at the Depot or Terminal. If SC Marvicon SRL is confronted with additional waiting hours at the Terminal and/or Depot, in addition to the time provided for in Article X.1, due to circumstances which are not attributable to SC Marvicon SRL, these waiting hours will be charged to the Customer in full in the manner set out under X.1. 'Circumstances which are not attributable to SC Marvicon SRL' mean inter alia:
  • IVK inspection or Container scan by customs,
  • missing or erroneous booking details,
  • waiting time as a result of non-exempted Containers, non-availability of the Container,
  • waiting time as a result of inspection of the Container and/or determining of any loss,
  • waiting time for connecting and setting up of reefers, etc.
  • waiting time due to traffic at the Depot or Terminal

All related costs are at the Customer's expense.

5. Cancellation
In the event of unilateral cancellation of the Agreement by the Customer, the Customer will legally owe the compensation set out hereafter, without prior summons and without prior judicial intervention: ü In the event of cancellation up to the day before the Agreement must be performed: 75% of the Freight Price is owed; ü In the event of cancellation of the Agreement on the day of performance: 100% of the Freight Price is owed. The aforementioned fees are owed without prejudice to SC Marvicon SRL' right to demand compensation for the loss it has actually suffered, if such loss is greater than this fixed compensation. SC Marvicon SRL can decide not to charge such fee if an Agreement cancelled by the Customer is replaced by an equivalent new Agreement, subject to SC Marvicon SRL' written agreement.

XI.Payment conditions and modalities

  1. The Customer is bound to pay the Freight Price, even if he asks SC Marvicon SRL to collect it from the Consignee.
  2. Subject to a written agreement to the contrary, all invoices of SC Marvicon SRL are payable in cash within 30 days after the invoice date.The invoice amount is payable net.
  3. If the Customer within 10 calendar days after the invoice date does not present any detailed and substantiated comments, complaints or objections, the Customer is deemed to have irrevocably accepted the invoice without reservation. Complaints expressed by the Customer 10 calendar days or later after the invoice date will not be taken into consideration.
  4. The Parties explicitly agree that all Agreements between them form one whole and that all Container(s) and Goods to be transported which the Customer entrusts or will entrust to SC Marvicon SRL serve as collateral for payment of the claims of SC Marvicon SRL on the Customer. Toward that end SC Marvicon SRL is entitled to exercise its right of retention in respect of the Container(s) and the Goods to be transported.
  5. In the event of lack of payment on the due date of the invoice: ü the amount or the balance still to be paid will be legally due without any notice of default; ü every delay in payment will legally, without the need for notice of default,give rise to application of interest for late payment of 1% per started month as of the due date, which is chargeable monthly and legally, immediately and without demand; ü every delay in payment will legally and without notice of default also give rise to a fixed compensation of 10% on the balance still to be paid, with a minimum of 65 euros. Furthermore in such case all payment facilities granted to the Customer will be cancelled and all other outstanding claims, invoices, whether or not already issued or due, will become immediately due and payable.
  6. The Customer is not entitled to set off sums, costs and/or invoices which SC Marvicon SRL owes the Customer against the Freight Price and invoices issued by SC Marvicon SRL, unless he has the explicit prior written consent of SC Marvicon SRL therefore.

XII.Termination of the Agreement

  1. Circumstances which justify an immediate termination of an Agreement by SC Marvicon SRL: SC Marvicon SRL has the right to legally terminate any Agreement with the Customer immediately, without prior notice of default and without prior judicial consent if one of the following circumstances arises:
  • death of the Customer,
  • application or a claim for or establishing of bankruptcy, appointment of a temporary administrator or judicial appointee, declaration of incompetence, or any equivalent status or procedure, liquidation of the Customer,
  • any other form of concurrence of creditors relating to the Customer,
  • any other indication of apparent incapacity of the Customer.

The Customer or his legal successors will be given written notice of such termination without the Customer being entitled to demand any compensation from SC Marvicon SRL in this respect.

2. Termination due to contractual shortcoming
If the Customer defaults on the performance of the Agreement SC Marvicon SRL has the right to immediately and without further notice of default put an end to the Agreement or a specific Transport Assignment. SC Marvicon SRL will inform the Customer in writing if it makes use of this option. All costs connected with such termination will be borne by the defaulting Customer, without the latter being able to demand any compensation.

3. Fixed compensation 
If SC Marvicon SRL puts and end to the Agreement due to a contractual shortcoming of the Customer, SC Marvicon SRL legally and without the need for notice of default has the right to a fixed compensation of 15% of the Freight Price, subject to reservation of the right to higher damages provided SC Marvicon SRL presents evidence of greater real loss.

XIII.Contractual liability

  1. Liability of the Customer
    The Customer has sole responsibility for the proper, timely and full performance of his obligations under the Agreement and the applicable legislation and regulations, both with regard to SC Marvicon SRL and with regard to third parties. The Customer will fully reimburse the full loss, lost profit and all other negative consequences, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which SC Marvicon SRL or third parties undergo or encounter and which are directly or indirectly based on mistakes, delays and other contractual default attributable to the Customer. He indemnifies SC Marvicon SRL against all direct and indirect consequences if the Container(s) or the transport of the Container(s) causes loss to third parties or to SC Marvicon SRL or its agents. The Customer is fully responsible for the correctness and the completeness of the information provided by him. He will thus be held fully liable if incorrect or incomplete information provided by him causes damage or loss to the Container(s), SC Marvicon SRL or to third parties, including possible penalties. The Customer is obliged to indemnify SC Marvicon SRL against all consequences of loss caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by him. The Customer indemnifies SC Marvicon SRL against all claims of third parties for compensation of loss which the Container(s) or the transport of the Container(s) causes to third parties, if the Customer has committed a contractual or other shortcoming.
  2. Liability of SC Marvicon SRL
    The liability, both in nature and in scope, of SC Marvicon SRL with regard to damage to Container(s) is strictly limited to the provisions of the CMR Convention, unless explicitly otherwise stipulated in writing. SC Marvicon SRL is therefore not liable for other or indirect damage or loss which is directly or indirectly suffered by the Customer, regardless of the cause thereof, or for loss of a greater scope, than the liability imposed by the CMR Convention. SC Marvicon SRL is released from liability in the event of force majeure, as well as in any case of hinder or loss directly or indirectly caused by weather conditions, natural disasters (storm, mist, lightening stroke, flood, ice, etc.), government measures, riot, strike, lockout, traffic disruptions, fire, explosion, closing of or delay at border crossings, delays at stations or toll services, unforeseen defects in the means of transport, theft, vandalism, acts of third parties, etc. In any event the liability of SC Marvicon SRL is limited to what will effectively and actually be reimbursed within the framework of the insurance set out in Article XIV of these General Conditions.

XIV.Insurance

  1. SC Marvicon SRL has taken out insurance to cover its liability as carrier for damage to the entrusted Container(s) as stipulated in the provisions of the CMR Convention.
  2. An insurance certificate will be presented on the Customer's first request. This certificate will contain general information relating to the third party insurance policy taken out by SC Marvicon SRL.
  3. The excess and the non-covered risks are in all cases at the Customer's expense. SC Marvicon SRL explicitly excludes liability for any loss exceeding the amount paid out by the insurance.

XV.Applicable law and competent court

  1. These General Conditions and all Agreement(s) between the Parties are exclusively governed by Romanian law.
  2. Any international transport contract between the Shipper and Carrier is subject to the CMR Convention and, in the alternative, the mandatory provisions of the Carrier's national legislation.
