4. Edition, version 2 Introduction PLEASTE NOTE: This is a translation of Danske Fragtmænd's terms and conditions and data controlling for transport. In the event of any discrepancies between the text in this translation and the Danish edition, the latter shall prevail. Danske Fragtmænd’s general terms and conditions for transports apply to all transports performed by Danske Fragtmænd, regardless of whether these are performed by Danske Fragtmænd or by a third party on behalf of Danske Fragtmænd. A third party may thus invoke these terms and conditions in the contractual relationship between Danske Fragtmænd’s customer and the third party. ‘Danske Fragtmænd’ means the contracting and executing carriers which form part of the Danske Fragtmænd cooperation, that is Danske Fragtmænd A/S, Danske Fragtmænd Logistik A/S, Danske Fragtmænd Express A/S and independent firms of carriers which carry out transports in accordance witha contractwith Fragtmand Holding A/S or other companies in the Group. ‘Customer’ means the principal and/or the consignor. ‘SDR’ means the special drawing rights (SDR) used by the International Monetary Fund. The SDR rate can be found on the website of Danmarks Nationalbank (the Danish central bank). All transports are executed in accordance with the Danish CMR Act (Act to consolidate Act of 9 September 1986 on Contracts for International Carriage of Goods by Road). A copy of the Danish CMR Act can be obtained by contacting a Danske Fragtmænd freight terminal, and it can also be found on www.fragt.dk. Liability which is not covered by the Danish CMR Act is governed in accordance with Sub-clause 4.1. Special attention is drawn to the provisions of the Danish CMR Act on limitation of liability in damages in connection with loss, deterioration, damage and delay as well as the short limitation period. All agreements are subject to the agreement on data controlling in force at any given time. 2 | Introduction Clause 1. Transport execution 1.1 Pick-up and drop-off The goods are picked up according to agreement. The Customer must ensure that the goods are ready for transport and that they can be loaded effectively and at the agreed pick-up time. Any waiting time will be charged in accordance with the rates in force at any given time in ‘Surcharges for special services’. The carrier is entitled to refuse pick-up of the goods if this cannot take place in a secure manner in terms of safety and health. Reference is made to the applicable working environment rules, and other provisions, in force at any given time. As an alternative to pick-up, consignments may be dropped off at the dispatch office at freight terminals or a carrier affiliated to Danske Fragtmænd. The Customer is obliged to disclose relevant information about the goods in good time prior to pick-up or drop-off. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that a completed consignment note is presented at pick-upor drop-off or that an electronic consignment note has been forwarded and that there is a consignment list. The dispatch date must be stated in the consignment note. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the consignment note is provided with an approved and legible barcode and has been filled in clearly and correctly in complete accordance with the goods and their labelling. If, on receipt of the goods, the carrier has reservations regarding the visible condition of the goods or packaging, such reservations are entered in the consignment note. The carrier may also make reservations about any defects or deficiencies in the packaging of the goods. In connection with an electronic transfer, any reservations are entered in the consignment list and are transferred to the consignment note at the freight terminal, and such a reservation has the same evidentiary value as if it had been entered in the consignment note. 1.2 Delivery The transport destination is the consignee’s address unless otherwise agreed. If the goods are not to be delivered, but are to be picked up by the consignee at a freight terminal, the consignment note and the goods must be marked ‘Restante’ after which the place of destination will be the stated freight terminal. For small islands without a permanent bridge connection that are not serviced by a carrier, delivery will, unless otherwise agreed, be made at the place on the harbour designated by the ferry company from which ships sail in a regular service to the island in question. Consignments that are light and can be handled by one person are delivered at the consignee’s door. Other consignments are delivered at the side of the vehicle, as close to the consignee’s door at street level as practically possible, or on a ramp or square to which a lorry has unhindered access. It may be separately agreed that delivery to the consignee’s door, and carrying up or down of the goods, will be performed against debiting of the time used in accordance with the rates in force at any given time in ‘Surcharges for special services’. Such an agreement is entered into prior to the transport and must be stated in the consignment note. It is presupposed that the goods can be carried up or down by one person and without the use of special technical aids unless otherwise agreed. Transport execution | 3
