Where such equipment is not available and if We agree to load or unload the Parcel (or part of the Parcel), We shall be under no liability or obligation of any kind to You for any damage caused (however it may be caused) during the loading or unloading of the Parcel. This includes any damage caused whether or not by Our negligence and You shall agree to indemnify and hold Us harmless against any claim or demand from any person arising out of Our agreeing to load or unload the Parcel in these circumstances.

5.Collection and Deliveries

5.1 We provide a standard delivery service of 72 hours on all Parcels.
5.2 Where You purchase a Service and request that the Parcel be delivered to an Authorised Location, You must arrange for the Recipient to collect the Parcel within 10 days of You being notified of the Parcel being available for collection. If the Parcel is not collected within 10 days, We reserve the right to either return the Parcel to You at Your cost (such cost to discharged before delivery to You) or where We are unable to do so dispose of the Parcel within 2 months of the date of the Service Order.
5.3 We will make one attempt to deliver a Parcel during normal working hours. If We cannot obtain a delivery receipt at the Delivery Point, You agree that We shall be authorised to attempt to:

deliver the Parcel to, or obtain a delivery receipt from, an alternative address close to the Delivery Point; or
deliver the Parcel to a safe location at the Delivery Point, and (if successful) We agree that We will leave at the Delivery Point details of the address or safe location to which We have delivered the Parcel.

5.4 If We are unable to deliver to the Delivery Point, a nearby address or a safe location, We shall return the Parcel to Our premises and leave a request for the Recipient of the Parcel to contact Us to make alternative delivery arrangements to the Delivery Point.

5.6 You acknowledge that We provide a service for the transport of goods with a specified timeframe for delivery, therefore You do not have a right to cancel the Service Order under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Payments) Regulations 2013 (Regulation 28(1)(h). This does not affect Your rights under Clause 7.

6.Sub-Contractors

You agree that We may use another carrier in order to support Our provision of the Services to You (this will be at Our own expense) and You agree that both We and such other carrier shall be entitled to the protection of all the terms of this Agreement which exclude or limit liability for any losses or damage.

7.Our Liability

YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE AND THE LIMITS OF OUR LIABILITY WITHIN IT.

7.1 Where You deal with Us as a consumer, nothing within these Terms shall be deemed to affect Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
7.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude Our liability for:

death or personal injury caused by Our negligence; or
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.3 As a responsible business, We will perform the Service(s) in a professional manner with the appropriate level of skill and care. However, loss of or damage to a Parcel may still occur as a consequence of Our handling of it and, in such circumstances, Our liability shall be limited as set out in these Terms. The reasoning behind such limitation of Our liability is as follows:

the value of a Parcel and the amount of potential loss to You that could arise if a Parcel is damaged or lost is not something which We can easily ascertain but is something which is better known to You. In many cases, it cannot be known to Us at all and can only be known to You;
the potential amount of loss that might be caused or alleged to be caused to You is likely to be disproportionate to the sum that We could reasonably be expected to charge You for providing the Service(s) under this Agreement;
it is not possible for Us to obtain protection which would give unlimited protection for Our full potential liability to all of Our customers and, therefore we suggest that You either take out protection from an independent third party or = purchase Additional Compensation from Us for Your Parcel during the ordering process;
We wish to keep the costs of providing the Service(s) to You as low as possible;
in light of the above, We wish to limit Our liability for any damage or loss caused to You to a level which We consider reasonable to Our low charges for providing the Services;
in these Terms, damage to You means any damage suffered by You (including any loss of, or damage to, a Parcel and any other loss, whether or not known to You or Us or in either of Our contemplation at the time of entering into this Agreement), however it arises but only so long as it is caused by Our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission (which includes any deliberately wrongful act or omission) and any breach of any terms of this Agreement, or any terms which are implied by statute (where applicable); and
We investigate all claims received by Us in a fair and speedy manner, but such investigations are more accurate and are easier to perform soon after the loss or damage is alleged to have incurred and, on that basis, the timescales set out in this Agreement are necessary to ensure that such investigations can be performed fairly.

The Extent of Our Liability

7.4 We shall only be liable for damage or loss caused to You if it is caused by Our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, and only subject to the limitations set out within this clause 7 and clause 8.
7.5 We shall not be liable to You under any circumstances for:

any direct or indirect loss (including, but not limited to loss of profits, or loss of goodwill); or
any other special or indirect losses, costs, damages, or claims which do not arise naturally as a result of Our negligence, breach of duty, or other wrongful act or omission.

7.6 We shall not be liable to You:

under any circumstances where there are any material discrepancies (meaning more than 10% difference) between the declared dimensions and/or weights and the actual dimensions and/or weights;
for any damage caused by Our negligence, breach of duty, or other wrongful act or omission, which You have, or You have arranged to be, repaired, unless it is agreed by Us that the repair work is to be carried out and that a repairer approved by Us undertakes this work; or
in any circumstances in respect of the items on the Prohibited Item(s); Damage to Items Protected for Loss Only; or for loss of or damage to the No Protection Items lists, unless otherwise stated by Us.

The Limitation on the Amount of Our Liability

If We are liable to You for any reason, We shall (subject always to clause 7) only be liable to refund to You the cost paid for the Service(s), together with Our free Compensation of £50 unless You have purchased Additional Compensation for Your Parcel from Us.

For clarity, this includes any Compensation and Additional Compensation that You may require in respect of any items listed on the “Items Protected for Loss Only” and “No Protection Items” lists. No level of Additional Compensation that You purchase from Us will render allowable any item which is on the “Prohibited Item(s)” list and/or “No Protection Items” list.

Where We offer Compensation or You purchase Additional Compensation for Your Parcel from Us, Our liability to You is limited to the lesser of: (i) the value of the Compensation; (ii) the value of the Additional Compensation taken out; or (ii) the actual value of the Parcel at the date of loss or damage (as applicable). Where You do not purchase Additional Compensationyou confirm that You accept the risks of not doing so.

We offer two types of Additional Compensation for Parcels:

Protection for loss or damage
Protection for loss only

Please note that if You purchase Additional Compensation for loss only, You will not be protected, and We shall not be liable, for any losses that You suffer due to any damage caused to the Parcel other than for up to the cost that You have paid for the Service(s) in circumstances where such damage is caused by Our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, over and above the £50 Compensation offered and subject to the limitations set out within this clause 7 and clause 8.

Irrespective of the type of Additional Compensation ((i) loss only; or (ii) loss or damage) that You purchase, We will not be liable to repay You the market value of the Parcel as at the time it was purchased by You. Parcels by their nature are subject to depreciation. You must take out a “new for old” compensation policy with a third party provider should You wish to be compensated in this way.

7.7 In order to ascertain the extent of Our liability above, We shall require proof of the value and weight of the entire Parcel and any constituent part or parts and You must ensure that, prior to Our collection of the Parcel, You have a record of these. By way of example we will accept invoices and photographs of the items. For the avoidance of any doubt, and without affecting clause 7.5, We shall only be liable for the replacement value of the Parcel and not for any sums that would amount to profit on the Parcel or applicable value added tax (or like tax) on such profit.
7.8 If a claim arises as a result of damage to the whole or part of a Parcel and if We settle the claim for a sum equal to the value of the Parcel (in circumstances where You have purchased Additional Compensation for loss or damage), then We shall be entitled to claim ownership of the Parcel and deal with it as We see fit. For the avoidance of any doubt, We shall be responsible for the cost of recovery of the Parcel.
7.9 If You wish to combine a number of discrete packages within a Parcel, You must do this within an outer box or packaging fully encompassing each discrete package. If You do not do this and any individual discrete package(s) come apart in transit resulting in one or more of them being lost, then once the remaining parcel(s) are signed for by the Recipient, You accept that You cannot make a claim for loss or partial loss of the Parcel.

Prohibited Items

7.10 Certain items are carried without Compensation for damage or loss and at Your own risk regardless of whether You have purchased Addional Compensation. A list of these items can be found at: www.yodeldirect.co.uk/content/prohibited-items.

7.11 We do not accept any liability for damage to or damage caused by any of the items on the Prohibited Item list, whatsoever and howsoever damage is caused, whether in contract, breach of statutory duty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.

For the avoidance of doubt, if You purchase Additional Compensation for an item on the “Prohibited Items” list, it will not be covered by the Additional Compensation purchased.

7.12 We reserve the right to reject a Parcel that contains a Prohibited Item.

Special Provisions

7.13 We shall not, in any circumstances, be liable to You for any damage caused arising directly or indirectly as a result of any of the Excepted Risks.
7.14 If an Excepted Risk takes place:

We will contact You as soon as reasonably possible to notify You; and
Our obligations under the Agreement will be suspended and the time for performance of Our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Excepted Risk. Where the Excepted Risk affects Our performance of Services to You, We will restart the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the Excepted Risk is over.

7.15 You may cancel the Service Order if an Excepted Risk takes place and You no longer wish Us to provide the Services.
7.16 We will only cancel the Service Order if the Excepted Risk continues for longer than 4 weeks.
7.17 Where You cancel the Service Order in accordance with clause 7.14 and We have started to supply the Services to You, then We shall arrange as soon as is reasonably practical to return the Parcel to You at Your cost (such cost to be discharged before Delivery to You).
7.18 Where We cancel the Service Order in accordance with clause 7.15 and We have started to supply the Services to You, We shall arrange as soon as is reasonably practical, to return the Parcel to You at Our cost.
7.19 If at any time We are prevented or delayed from starting, carrying out or completing any of the Services because of weather conditions, traffic congestion, mechanical breakdown or obstruction of any public or private road or highway or any other cause beyond Our control, You shall have no claim for damages against Us for any loss that You may suffer as a result provided that, where the delay is caused by the mechanical breakdown of one of Our vehicles, We shall use all commercially reasonable endeavours to provide a replacement vehicle with the minimum delay practicable.

Your Default

7.20 We shall not in any circumstances be liable for any late delivery or missed delivery or failure to deliver caused by or contributed to by any deficient or ambiguous labelling of a Parcel and You agree to be responsible for ensuring that such labelling is clear and unambiguous.

7.21 If Our performance of any of Our obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by You or failure by You to perform any relevant obligation (“Your Default”):

We shall (without limiting Our other rights or remedies) have the right to suspend performance of the Service(s) until You remedy Your Default and, and We shall have the right to rely on Your Default if Your Default prevents or delays Our performance of any of Our obligations;
We shall not be liable for any costs or losses that You may suffer that arise directly or indirectly from Our failure or delay to perform any of Our obligations; and
You shall reimburse Us on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by Us arising directly or indirectly from Your Default.

10.Your Indemnity

10.1 We shall assume, for the purposes of this Agreement, that You are the sole owner of every item dispatched in the Parcel but, if any other person makes a claim against Us for loss of or damage to any such items beyond Our liability to You, then You agree that You shall indemnify Us against any losses or liabilities that We suffer through that claim (including all legal costs and expenses) and You agree that We shall have no liability to You in these circumstances, regardless of whether such claims exceed any limitations of liability set out in this Agreement.

11.Charges

11.1 We charge for Our Service(s) based on the dimensions and weight of each Parcel. We may check the dimensions and/or weight of each Parcel. In the event We find that the dimensions and/or weight of a Parcel have been under-declared by You , You agree:

that the dimensions and/or weight that We reasonably determine may be used for the purpose of the calculation of Our Charges;
We may charge any price difference to You in accordance with Our current rates and may also charge an administration fee for correcting such underpayment/additional charge (together, “Correction Charges”);
authorise Us to debit the Correction Charges directly from the debit/credit card, Prepay or PayPal account that You used to make the original payment. If the Correction Charges (whether whole or part) cannot be paid by this means, the balance is due within 7 days of a relevant invoice being issued to You; and
We may suspend performance of the Service(s) until the Correction Charges are received by Us. If We exercise this right, We shall not be liable to You in any circumstances for any costs or losses arising directly or indirectly that You may suffer as a result and clauses 7.20 and 7.21 shall apply.

11.2 All charges stated, whether by invoice or in the Service Order, shall be exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which shall be added to the total sum payable to be repaid by You.
11.3 We shall be entitled to exercise any possessory rights, or rights of lien (“Lien”) (including the rights to disposal of the Parcel), available to Us over any Parcel in Our possession against You. We have the right to enforce the above Lien notwithstanding the title of the Parcel.

12.Prepay

12.1 At any time where We offer You a system of payment on account with or without bonus credit being applied to such accounts, We shall refer to such system as “Prepay” and the additional provisions of this clause 12 shall apply.
12.2 Your current Prepay credit and any applicable bonus credit shall be separately recorded and the total balance of these credits shall be shown in your account through Our website.
12.3 When We accept your Order, Our system will check Your Prepay credit and bonus credit balance. The price set out in the Service Order shall be deducted from the balance. If such deduction would result in a negative balance, then You shall pay the difference in accordance with the provisions of clause 11 (Charges). We may set a minimum Prepay limit from time to time on any credit payments made to Your Prepay account and these will be notified to You through Our website (currently £20).
12.4 Any payment made on account under the Prepay system shall be deemed as a payment for Services to be ordered from Us. After the initial refund period described below, Our liability to You will be to provide Services to the value of the account balance. Cash balances will not be returned except in cases where You received a defective Service and requested a refund of the unused Prepay cash balance held on the account. Any such refund shall be provided subject always to the provisions of clause 9 and You complying at all times with Your obligations under clause 13.
12.5 If You do not place any orders for a 6 month period, We will send an email to the address in Your Account Details to remind You of Your balance. This will be repeated at 12 months and 18 months. When a period of 24 months has passed with no orders placed, We will assume that Your account is no longer active, the Prepay balance will expire and You shall have no further claim to such balance (including in order to pay for Services).
12.6 If You change Your mind after making a payment on account, You may request a refund. The procedure for requesting a refund from Your Prepay balance or otherwise is set out in clause 8 above. In such cases, the amount refunded will be the sum of the original payment less the value of any Services ordered on account.

provide Us with such information and materials as We may reasonably require in order to supply the Service(s) and ensure that such information is accurate in all material respects.

13.2 You agree that We shall not be required, and that You shall not cause Us, to carry anything if it would be illegal or unlawful for Us to do so (either in the UK or any country to which a Parcel is to be delivered). You agree that should You do this, You will indemnify Us against any losses and/or damage that We may suffer as a consequence.

all Parcels shall be accepted at the Delivery Point and that the Recipient shall give Our driver an appropriate receipt and You agree that this receipt shall be conclusive evidence of delivery of the Parcel by Us. This clause 13.5(a) shall not apply where such receipt is obtained as a result of fraud, collusion or dishonesty on the part of Our driver; and
if there is a strike by any employees of Yours, or the employees of any person receiving delivery, then You agree that Our representative shall not be asked to perform any additional duties or any duties of a strike-breaking nature.

14.Right to Cancel

14.1 Subject to clauses 14.1(a) to 14.1(b), as a consumer, You would usually have a statutory right to cancel the Service(s) within 14 days and receive a full refund. However, this does not apply where we have commenced or completed the Service(s) as follows:

once We have completed the Service(s), You have lost Your statutory right to cancel the Service(s) and receive a refund, even if the 14 day period is still running; and
if You cancel the Service(s) after We have started performing them, You must pay Us for the Service(s) provided up until the time that You tell Us You have changed Your mind.

14.2 If You want to cancel the Service(s) in accordance with this clause 14, please let Us know by doing one of the following:

by contacting Us online via Our Live Help Desk to chat to Our customer support team; or
by completing the form at www.yodeldirect.co.uk/help-centre.

14.3 If You cancel the Service(s) in accordance with this clause 14, You will be responsible for collecting the Parcel from Us or paying Our reasonable costs of returning it to You.
14.4 If You cancel the Service(s) after printing any postage/courier label that We may supply to You, You shall not use that label for any purpose other than secure disposal. In the event that the postage/courier label is used in respect of any Parcel, You agree to Us automatically deducting any sums owed for the delivery of Our Service(s) from You via Your payment method.

15.Nature of Agreement

This Agreement, the CMR Regulations and the Montreal Convention (so far as they are applicable) shall constitute the entire contract between Us and You and the contract shall not incorporate, or be deemed to incorporate any provisions of any other documents. In addition, this contract and the documents referred to above shall supersede any previous contract, warranty or representation made or given by Us relating to the Service(s) set out in the Service Order.

16.Variation

No variation, amendment or cancellation of this Agreement (other than the Service Order) shall be binding upon Us unless and until it is confirmed in writing by a director of Us and, for the avoidance of any doubt, it is declared that no person other than a director has authority to negotiate or enter into any commitment on behalf of Us which would or might (but for this clause) involve Us in any legal liability whatsoever.

17.Termination

17.1 This Agreement may also be terminated immediately if the other party breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement or (in the case of an individual) becomes bankrupt or (in the case of a company) goes into liquidation other than for the purposes of reconstruction or amalgamation, or has an administrator or receiver appointed over any of its or his property or income or make any deed or arrangements with or for the benefit of his or its creditors.
17.2 On termination of this Agreement for any reason:

You shall immediately pay to Us all of Our outstanding unpaid invoices and interest and, in respect of Service(s) supplied where the Parcel has been delivered but for which no invoice has been submitted, We shall submit an invoice, which shall be payable by You immediately on receipt;
in respect of a Parcel which has already been paid for and which has been received but not yet delivered, then We shall deliver such Parcel in accordance with these Terms;
in respect of a Parcel which has not been paid for but which We have received but not delivered, We shall return the Parcel to You;
the accrued rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities of the parties as at expiry or termination shall not be affected, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of this Agreement which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry; and
clauses which expressly or by implication have effect after termination or expiry shall continue in full force and effect.

18.2 You irrevocably agree, for Our sole benefit that, subject as provided below, the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual claims).
