of the shipment unless additional insurance is carried under a separate
agreement. No parties shall be liable for any incident while involved
in the movement of freight at the location of either the shipper/consignor

payment of freight charges, the consignor shall, in the event the
carrier is unable to collect payment, be responsible for all charges
(including interest and administration costs.) Unpaid accounted
will be subject to interest at 2% per month. All quoted rates assume
full disclosure of all relevant facts affecting the price and thus are
subject to final audit.
