2. Services Provided

Chrono + Cargo provides a wide range of logistics services, including air, ocean, road, rail freight, and specialized transport. Our services are offered on a case-by-case basis, and pricing, availability, and service terms may vary depending on the specific requirements of each customer. All services are subject to the terms laid out in this agreement.

Provide accurate and complete information when requesting quotes, making bookings, or engaging in transactions.
Comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing the transport of goods, including customs, export/import controls, and safety regulations.

Pay any applicable fees, taxes, or duties related to the services provided in accordance with the payment terms set forth.

4. Payment Terms

All fees for services provided by Chrono + Cargo are due according to the terms specified in the invoice or contract. Payment must be made within the agreed-upon time frame, and we reserve the right to apply late fees, suspend services, or take legal action in cases of non-payment.

We accept various forms of payment, and any bank charges or processing fees associated with the payment are the responsibility of the customer.

5. Service Availability

Chrono + Cargo strives to ensure the continuous availability of our services. However, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access, and we are not liable for delays or interruptions caused by factors beyond our control, such as weather conditions, port or airport strikes, or other unforeseen events. In cases of force majeure, Chrono + Cargo reserves the right to suspend or delay services without liability.

6. Booking and Cancellations

When you book our services, you will receive a confirmation outlining the details of your shipment or service request. You may cancel or amend your booking, but please be aware that cancellations or changes may be subject to fees, depending on the terms of the specific service. Any changes must be communicated in writing and confirmed by Chrono + Cargo.

For certain services, cancellation fees may apply if changes or cancellations are made after the booking has been confirmed or after the shipment is in transit.

7. Liability and Insurance

Chrono + Cargo takes great care in handling your shipments, but we are not liable for any loss, damage, or delay caused by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, strikes, accidents, or customs delays. Liability for loss or damage will be limited to the amount specified in the applicable international conventions (such as the Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention, or Hague-Visby Rules) unless additional insurance coverage is arranged.

We strongly recommend that customers purchase additional insurance coverage for valuable or sensitive shipments. Chrono + Cargo offers various insurance options to ensure your goods are fully protected during transit.

8. Customs and Compliance

Customers are responsible for ensuring that their shipments comply with all applicable customs regulations, export/import restrictions, and safety requirements. Chrono + Cargo can assist with customs clearance, but the responsibility for providing accurate documentation and adhering to regulatory requirements remains with the customer.

Any penalties, fines, or additional costs arising from customs non-compliance or inaccurate documentation will be the responsibility of the customer.
