Article 7 – PRINCIPAL'S OBLIGATIONS
7.1 – Packing and labelling
7.1.1. Packing of Goods
When the nature of the Goods so requires, they must be packaged, packed, marked or counter-marked by the Principal in such a way that they will withstand transportation conditions, as well as any successive storage and handling operations.
The Shipment should not pose any danger to persons and other Goods being transported, or to vehicles, Equipment or means of transport used.
If FORWARDIS SAS is informed about the existence of an apparent defect in the packaging, packing or labelling of the Goods, it shall immediately inform the Principal accordingly, in writing or by any other electronic means for transmitting or storing data, in order to obtain instructions from the latter and reserves the right not to accept the Shipment.
7.1.2. Labelling
Every shipment, object or load unit must be clearly marked so that the following information can be quickly and unequivocally identified: the shipper, the destination, the place of delivery and the nature of the Goods.
7.1.3. Regulated or hazardous Goods
In the case of regulated Goods, the Principal shall affix the mandatory labels and marks on the packaging and, in writing or by any other electronic means for transmitting and storing data, alert FORWARDIS SAS to the characteristics of the Goods to be transported.

Seal numbers shall be indicated on the waybill by the Principal (or its representative) as set out in article 6.2. In the event that some or all of the seals are missing when the Delivery is made, in no event shall the liability of FORWARDIS SAS be sought if there is no reference, or if incomplete reference is made to the seals in the Contract of carriage.
It is made clear that the absence of all or part of the seals upon Delivery does not in itself represent grounds for refusal of the Goods. It is the recipient’s responsibility to make the appropriate Reserves, as specified at article 7.4, and any losses or damage suffered by the Goods must be demonstrated by the latter.
7.3 – Reporting obligations
The Principal shall be liable for any breach of the obligation to provide information and declare the exact nature and specific features of the Goods, when the latter require special arrangements, with regard, among other things, to their value and/or covetousness they may elicit, their hazardousness or fragility. The Principal explicitly undertakes not to submit to FORWARDIS SAS illegal or banned Goods (for example counterfeit products, narcotics, etc.). The Principal shall be solely liable, without recourse against FORWARDIS SAS, for any consequences, regardless of their nature, resulting from erroneous, incomplete or inapplicable declarations or documents, or as a result of a delay in making the declarations or providing the documents required, including information necessary for the transmission of any summary declaration required by customs regulations, in particular for the transportation of Goods from a third country.
7.4 – Reservations
In the event of loss, damage or any other problem affecting the Goods, or in the event of a delay, it is the responsibility of the recipient or receiving agent designated by the Principal to carry out the proper and adequate assessments, express any reasoned Reservations they may have and, in general, take any steps that may be useful in preserving their right of redress and to confirm said Reservations in due manner within the deadlines set by law, failing which no action may be taken against FORWARDIS SAS.
7.5 – Packing of the Goods
The Principal that carries out and/or causes packing operations to be carried out by a third party shall be fully liable for such operations.

The Principal shall be answerable regarding the nature and characteristics of the Goods as described in the Contract. The Principal shall also guarantee strict compliance with the maximum authorised loads, as set forth in the technical Equipment specifications and rules of the road.
7.6 – Rejection or default by the recipient
In the event that the recipient rejects the Goods, if for example such Goods exhibit a default for any reason whatsoever, the Principal shall remain liable for the initial and/or additional costs due and incurred in respect of the Goods, without prejudice to the right of FORWARDIS SAS to claim compensation for any damage suffered in this respect.
7.7 – Customs formalities
If Customs procedures must be completed, FORWARDIS SAS shall be involved as agent, acting for and on behalf of the Principal. The Principal shall hold FORWARDIS SAS harmless against all financial consequences incurred due to erroneous instructions, inapplicable documents, etc. leading, in general, to the assessment of additional duties and/or taxes, or fines, etc. by the government department concerned.

The Principal undertakes to send to FORWARDIS SAS, no later than within 15 days of actually receiving the Equipment, a registered letter acknowledging receipt, notifying FORWARDIS SAS of the date of receipt and containing all reservations, if any.
In any event, use of the Equipment by the Principal or by the freight forwarder shall mean acceptance of the Equipment, which shall be deemed to have been supplied in a good state and fit for transportation.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 7.8 above, the Principal, among other things, shall, in all cases and under its personal and exclusive responsibility:
- use the Equipment provided in accordance with its intended purpose (in line with the registration that was made thereof) and solely for the transportation of the Goods stipulated in the special terms and conditions.

- at the end of the contract, return, to the place designated by FORWARDIS SAS, the Equipment empty, clean and free of any loads, in the state in which it was when possession was taken thereof, apart from normal wear and tear incurred in use.

The instructions (declaration of value or insurance) must be renewed for each Shipment.
Article 10 – PRINCIPAL'S OBLIGATIONS
The Principal shall compensate for any damage to the Equipment made available to it by FORWARDIS SAS. The Principal may release itself from its liability or from its obligation to repair damage only when:

The parties shall endeavour to find a transitional solution to alleviate the difficulties arising from the force majeure event and also undertake to resume their obligations as soon as the force majeure event ceases to produce its effects.
Where applicable, if the force majeure event continues for a period of more than two months, the Contract may be terminated by either party, without any of the parties being owed any compensation.
Article 13 – SAFEGUARD CLAUSE
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 3.1, if an unforeseen situation of any kind (economic, political, financial or technical), were to result in a change to any of the elements of the Service, and were to make performance of the Contract excessively expensive for a party not accepting the appropriate risk, new satisfactory terms and conditions for the parties would be negotiated.
The injured party shall notify the other party as soon as possible by registered letter, with request for acknowledgement of receipt, the circumstances explaining the implementation of this clause and the request for the negotiation of new conditions.
Should the Parties fail to agree on these new terms and conditions, and by way of derogation from Article 1195 of the French Civil Code, the Contract of Carriage may be terminated without compensation, subject to a notice period of two months.
Article 14 – CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSE
