in writing, the following limits of cargo liability specific to type of service or origination/destination shall apply to

released to a maximum value for all claims arising out of loss or damage in transit of the greater of (I) $0.50 per

liability of $100,000 per occurrence, unless at the time of tender, the Shipper declares a higher value and signs in the
space designated on the Waybill (see item 4.B.iii. below).

Waybill shall be quoted at time of booking and released to a maximum value for all claims arising out of loss or

f. Notwithstanding anything in these Service Conditions or elsewhere to the contrary, for purposes
of BAY HAUL OF FAME responsibility for any cargo lost or damaged, BAY HAUL OF FAME and Customer agree that all
Shipments either originating in or ultimately destined to Mexico shall be deemed as either originating or terminating
at the border point in the United States, despite the issuance of a through Waybill. As permitted by 49 U.S.C.
§14101(b)(1), BAY HAUL OF FAME and Customer expressly waive all rights and remedies they may have as to each
other under 49 U.S.C. § 14706 for all cargo loss, delay, damage, or destruction claims arising in Mexico, and
Customer agrees that BAY HAUL OF FAME shall not be liable for any and all such claims. In the event that the cargo
loss or damage is first discovered after delivery of the freight to Consignee, whether the load originated in Mexico
or was ultimately destined to Mexico, the damage will be presumed to have occurred in Mexico absent a
preponderance of direct evidence to the contrary. Except as otherwise stated in these Service Conditions, neither
party waives any rights or remedies it may have as to any third party.
ii. Exceptions to Cargo Liability. Notwithstanding anything in these Service Conditions or elsewhere to the
contrary, neither BAY HAUL OF FAME nor its contracted service providers shall have any liability for any loss or
damage to cargo caused by or resulting from the following: (a) an act or omission of Customer or the shipper or
their respective employees, agents, officers, contractors, or representatives; (b) any force majeure, including, but not
limited to, acts of a public enemy, revolution, civil disorder, war, fire, flood, or orders of any government or public
or local authority; or (c) the inherent vice of any Shipments. Moreover, neither BAY HAUL OF FAME nor its contracted
service providers will be held responsible for shortages on shipper load and count Shipments where the trailer is
received at destination with seals intact. The failure to indicate “SL&C”, “subject to shipper count”, or like
notations on shipping documents shall not be a conclusive determination of BAY HAUL OF FAME ’s or its contracted
service provider’s liability, nor shall BAY HAUL OF FAME or its contracted service provider be precluded from
disclaiming liability therefor due to such omissions.
iii. Alternative Rates Available. At time of booking, whether through BAY HAUL OF FAME website or by
written agreement acknowledged by an authorized representative of BAY HAUL OF FAME, Customer may declare an
increased valuation above the applicable limitation. In the absence of special arrangements, neither
BAY HAUL OF FAME nor its contracted service providers shall be liable for cargo damages in excess of $50,000.00 per
Shipment, regardless of the declared value. Customer may make special arrangements for liability coverage greater
than $50,000.00 by calling their preferred cargo insurance company and requesting the increased limit. Liability shall in
no event exceed the lesser of (a) the declared value of the Shipment plus applicable freight charges and (b) the actual
amount of loss or damage. If Customer executes a release rate in excess of $50.000.00 per Shipment without having
made special arrangements and obtaining special rate approval, and the Shipment is inadvertently accepted by
BAY HAUL OF FAME , it shall be considered released at $50,000.00 per Shipment and will move subject to such
limitations, applicable rates, and insurance charges. When Customer declares a value that exceeds the greater of
(I) $0.50 per pound and (II) $50.00 for a domestic Shipment, an additional charge of $0.65 for each $100.00 or
fraction thereof will be charged subject to a minimum charge of $2.00 per Waybill. When Customer declares a value
that exceeds $9.07 per pound or $20.00 per kilogram for an international Shipment moving on a through Waybill, an
additional charge of $0.85 for each $100.00 or fraction thereof will be charged subject to a minimum charge of
$2.50 per Waybill.
iv. Cargo Insurance; Customer Indemnification. Customer understands and agrees that the rates charged for
BAY HAUL OF FAME services do not include insurance or other compensation for loss other than as expressly
provided herein. BAY HAUL OF FAME contracts with its service providers are made in reliance upon the limits of
liability established by BAY HAUL OF FAME under its contracts, including these Service Conditions, with each
Customer. Accordingly, Customer agrees to indemnify and hold BAY HAUL OF FAME and its contracted service
providers harmless from any demand for any sums greater than the limits of cargo liability provided for herein by
any third party, including beneficial owners and subrogees.
BAY HAUL OF FAME can assist Customer, upon Customer’s request, with the placement of cargo insurance.
BAY HAUL OF FAME is not an insurance company or insurance broker. Unless requested by Customer to do so in
writing and confirmed to Customer, BAY HAUL OF FAME is under no obligation to procure insurance on Customer’s
behalf. Additional information concerning cargo insurance, insurance deductibles, policy exclusions, and excluded
commodities is available upon request.
