Following receipt of all information reasonably requested, we will either provide you a Proposal specific to that End Customer, or decline to provide the Services.

3.3. We will not provide Services to End Customers until you confirm acceptance of the Proposal in writing. Acceptance of a Proposal will constitute a separate agreement with you, for Services to be supplied to the End Customer specified in the Proposal, for the Service Rates set out in the Proposal, and otherwise in accordance with the terms set out in the Services Agreement. Upon receipt of written acceptance of the Proposal a separate billing account will be created for the relevant End Customer.

3.7. The failure to comply with Clause 3.2 is a material breach of your Services Agreement. Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us, including the right to terminate the Services Agreement, if you breach Clause 3.2, we reserve the right to charge you and you must pay for the Services at the Service Rates which would have been charged had Clause 3.2 been fully and accurately complied with.

3.8.3. any negligent act or omission by your End Customer (or of your End Customer’s officers, employees, agents, contractors or sub-contractors);

3.8.4. any fraudulent act or wilful misconduct of your End Customers (or your End Customer’s officers, employees, agents, contractors or sub-contractors).

3.9. Your liability to us under clause 3.8 is reduced proportionally to the extent that the Indemnifiable Loss was caused or contributed to by us.

4.1. We will invoice you the applicable Service Rates plus any Additional Charges (including, without limitation, the Peak Fee at Peak Times) and Extra Charges in respect of the Services we provide to you.

4.2. The Service Rates quoted in your Pricing Schedule refer only to the specific Services and Lodgement Points listed.

4.3. Unquoted Destinations: If you wish to send to or from destinations that have not been quoted in your Pricing Schedule, our standard Service Rates will apply, as set out in the Standard Rate section of your Pricing Schedule and which may be found here: Pricing Schedule.

4.4. Specific destination rates are one-way only (i.e. not return), unless a return rate has been provided. A further delivery fee will be charged for any consignment which is re-directed or re-delivered at the request of you, other sender if not you, Receiver or other third party.

4.5. It is a condition of the provision of the Services that you must open and maintain a Business Credit Account.

4.6. Service Rate Review. We may amend the Service Rates and/or add, remove or amend any Additional Charge at any time and at our discretion by giving you no less than 30 days’ written notice (“Price Notification”). If you do not agree with a Price Notification, you may terminate the Services Agreement (or the relevant Service) without liability by providing us with no less than 7 days’ written notice of termination within 30 days from receipt of the Price Notification. You will be deemed to have accepted the Price Notification if we do not receive notice of termination within this period. This clause 4.6 does not restrict or limit the exercise of our rights pursuant to clause 13.3 (Force Majeure Fee).

4.7. The Service Rates plus any Additional Charges and Extra Charges will be invoiced to you weekly and must be paid in accordance with the Business Credit Account Terms and Conditions.

4.8. If an invoice is not paid by the due date for payment, you must pay late payment charges as set out in the Additional Charges and/or the Business Credit Account Terms and Conditions.

4.9. Calculation of Service Rates. Service Rates invoiced to you will be based on whichever is the greater of:

4.9.1. the Dead Weight of the Goods consigned; or

4.9.2. the cubic measurement of the Goods multiplied by the Cubic Factor

4.9.3. For example: assuming a Cubic Factor of 250 kilograms per cubic metre and the following freight dimensions: height (400mm), width (300mm) and length (550mm), the cubic calculation is as follows:

(a) 0.400 x 0.300 x 0.550 = 0.066 cubic metres

(b) 0.066 cubic metres x 250 = 16.5 kg (rounded up to 17kg chargeable weight)

In the above example if the dead weight of the freight is less than 17kg, the chargeableweight will be 17kg. If the Dead Weight of the freight exceeded 17kg, the consignment would be charged on the Dead Weight (rounded up to the nearest whole kilogram).

4.9.4. We may use, at our discretion, automatic cubing and weighing technology and / or the Bulk Cube Method, to attribute a Dead Weight, or Cubic Weight for the purpose of calculating the Service Rates. For example, for despatch of a small number of items, we may use the actual measurements of each item consigned; for a large bulk despatch which includes consignment on pallets, we may use the Bulk Cube Method; and for mixed items, despatched on pallets and as loose freight, we may use a combination of both.

4.9.5. Bulk Cube Method. We use a formula, as described below, to calculate chargeable weight where multiple items are consigned in a day. The formula calculates the total volume of items consigned over the whole day and applies that volume across individual consignments based on the greater of the Dead Weight of the consignments as you have specified to us, or the volume as measured by us. The volume is then multiplied by the Cubic Factor, and rounded up to the nearest kilogram.

4.9.6. Example of the Bulk Cube Formula. Total cubic measurements for each day’s despatch are divided by the total Dead Weight, to arrive at a cubic to Dead Weight ratio. The individual Dead Weight of each consignment is multiplied by the ratio. The Cubic Factor is then applied to determine the number of kilograms to be charged for each consignment.

(a) Total cubic metres for the day’s despatch = 2m3

(b) Divided by total Dead Weight despatched that day 400 kilos = 0.005

(c) Multiplied by individual consignment Dead Weight 15 kilos = 0.075

(d) Multiplied by Cubic Factor x 250 = 18.75 Rounded up to 19 kilos.

Note: In the above example, 15 Dead Weight kilograms will be charged at 19 cubic kilograms. All partial chargeable kilograms are rounded up to the next whole kilogram for each consignment. All calculations will be based on weights and measurements supplied by you in the electronic data or consignment note or the weight and measurements designated by StarTrack, including the weight and measurements of any pallets or skids used in the transportation of Goods to their final destination. Uncrated machinery will be measured to a minimum height of 2.7 metres.

4.10. If upon our receipt of Goods for which our Service Rates have been pre-paid (including for our prepaid satchels and cartons), we determine that you have understated the Cubic Weight or Dead Weight (as the case may be), you must pay us the difference between the amount you have pre-paid and the amount that we determine, plus any applicable Additional Charge (such as the Manifest Correction Fee), for rectifying the understatement.

4.11. Extra Charges. In addition to the Services Rates and any Additional Charges, we reserve the right to apply, at a rate which is reasonable in the circumstances, the following extra charges:

4.11.1. labour and packaging costs if we need to repack or reconfigure your consignment as reasonably required to be processed through our network or to meet either your or your Receiver’s requirements.

4.11.2. storage charges when we are requested to hold Goods for more than two days;

4.11.3. any delay (where such delay has occurred other than from our default) in excess of 30 minutes in loading or unloading the Goods or if the Receiver is not in attendance at the Delivery Address during normal hours when Delivery is attempted;

4.11.4. charges for forklift, crane hire or any equipment required for the safe loading, unloading or handling of your Goods;

4.11.5. reasonable costs of completing any documentation required under clause 2.19; and

4.11.6. on-forwarding charges as applicable in some remote areas if the requested delivery location is outside the area serviced by our delivery network. In such cases, additional charges will be dependent on the specific delivery requirements. On-forwarding charges for Next Flight consignments will be advised at the time of booking.

4.12. Where either you or your Receiver has requested that our charges be invoiced to a third party (including a Receiver):

4.12.1. if the third party does not have an account with us, our charges will be calculated using our standard rates schedule, and

4.12.2. if our charges are not paid promptly, you will pay charges as originally invoiced to the third party.

4.13. All Service Rates, Additional Charges and any Extra Charges are quoted without including an amount for GST unless stated otherwise. In addition to any GST-exclusive amounts payable you must pay an amount equivalent to the GST payable in respect of the taxable supply on receipt of a valid tax invoice.

4.14. If in relation to a supply made under the Services Agreement an adjustment event occurs that gives rise to an adjustment, the price of that supply (including any GST Amount) will alter accordingly and where necessary a payment will be made to reflect the price adjustment.

5.1 The Service Rates in the Pricing Schedule are quoted based on your advice of your expected Minimum Spend.

5.2. If your trading levels are less than the Minimum Spend within any three consecutive month period, we reserve the right to adjust your Service Rates on 30 days’ written notice to reflect your spend. If you do not wish to continue with the Services following an adjustment in the Service Rates, you may terminate the Services Agreement without liability by providing no less than 7 days’ written notice, within 30 days’ from the date that you are made aware of the adjustment.

6.1. Except as expressly set out in the Services Agreement, we disclaim all warranties, guarantees and conditions with respect to the Services, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

6.2. Nothing in the Services Agreement (including clause 6.1) excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty or other term or condition, implied or imposed by any Law (including consumer guarantees under the Australian consumer Law) that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited (a “Non-Excludable Condition”). Where permitted by Law, and providing it is reasonable to do so, we limit our liability for breach of a Non-Excludable Condition to either the resupply of the Service, or paying the cost of resupplying the Service, in respect of which the breach occurred.

6.3. Subject to clause 6.2, clause 6.4 and any Transit Warranty Claim we accept under clause 7, to the maximum extent permitted by Law we are not liable to you, or any third party, in contract, tort (including negligence), bailment or otherwise in Law or equity for any Loss whatsoever arising out of the provision of (or any failure to provide) the Services, and without limiting the foregoing this includes:

6.3.1. Loss that you may incur arising from loss of or damage to your Goods while those Goods are in our custody or control unless you have purchased Transit Warranty for those Goods (including where the loss or damage was caused by our negligence).

6.3.2. Loss that you may incur arising from any delay in the delivery of your Goods, or any non-delivery or mis-delivery of your Goods.

6.4. Nothing in the Services Agreement will limit a party’s liability for Loss arising out of:

6.4.1. any illness, injury to or death of any person caused by a negligent act or omission of that party; or

6.4.2. any gross negligence, fraudulent act or wilful misconduct of that party.

6.5. You will indemnify us against any Indemnifiable Loss incurred by us arising from any breach by you of your obligations under the Services Agreement or any representation or warranty made by you in it.

6.6. Your liability to us under clause 6.5 above will be reduced proportionally to the extent that the Loss was caused or contributed to by us.

6.7. We are not liable to you and you are not liable to us for Consequential Loss arising under the Services Agreement.

6.8. Any benefit received under a provision of the Services Agreement which limits or excludes our liability, or which provides us with an indemnity, is extended to include our Representatives and to the extent necessary, StarTrack holds the benefit of the indemnity on trust for Related Bodies Corporate and Representatives.
