2. 7 Star Auto Transport agrees to make all effort possible to provide the most adequate shipment of described vehicle(s) - insofar as they will not compromise its standard of safety or quality. The owner understands that ample notice of intent to ship is a primary contingency factor. The owner/agent and 7 Star Auto Transport also understand that any shipment, regardless of type of trucking, may be delayed due to adverse weather or road conditions, illness, mechanical breakdown of trucks, supply and demand for trucks and drivers, etc. IN ABSOLUTELY NO CASE WILL 7 Star Auto Transport BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, OR REIMBURSE, CAR RENTAL EXPENSE.

3. This order is subject to all terms and conditions of the carrier's straight bills of lading, copies of which are available at the office of carrier and are incorporated herein.

4. Carrier's responsibility begins when the shipper or his agent signs the bill of lading at pickup, and terminates when the shipper or his agent signs the bill of lading at delivery. 7 Star Auto Transport must be notified should the shipper be unavailable for pickup or delivery, and a consignee must be designated at that time. If a carrier is assigned and the vehicle cannot be picked up for any reason, there will be an additional $100.00 charged to the shipper´s credit card. This charge will be applied to rescheduling and/or dry-run fees of the carrier.

5. 7 Star Auto Transport hereby notifies shipper that their vehicle will be driven on and off the transporter, or to and from the transporter at the pickup or delivery site. Should the carrier be unable to access either site, this does not relieve the consignee from making a reasonable effort to meet the truck at a suitable location. If a vehicle is NOT operational and the carrier cannot physically reach the location, a local tow truck may be used to deliver vehicle to the assigned carrier at the expense of the shipper.

6. All vehicles to be delivered with a balance due shall be paid by CASH, MONEY ORDER or CASHIERS CHECK ONLY (US funds). Should delivery be attempted after attempted notification (3 to 24 hours voice notification to phone numbers provided by shipper) and shipper or his agent does not have proper funds or is unavailable to receive delivery, vehicle(s) may be taken to and left at the nearest terminal at the discretion of the carrier, where shipper will have to retrieve and pay for storage or redelivery fees. In the event the shipper decides to arrange to make full payment with a credit card at the time of the booking, the order will be subject to a 3.5% service charge.

7. 7 Star Auto Transport does not guarantee transport by any specific driver/carrier.

8. If you are shipping an inoperable vehicle, you may be required to help load and unload said vehicle at the discretion of the driver. Should vehicle(s) become inoperable during transport, $200.00 will be due at time of delivery in addition to any other moneys owed. It is shipper's responsibility to make sure vehicle is in proper working order. INOP VEHICLES MUST BE ABLE TO ROLL, STEER AND BRAKE. If the inop vehicle does not meet any one of these three conditions, additional fees may apply. If a vehicle is INOP and the carrier cannot physically reach the location, a local tow truck may be used to deliver vehicle to the assigned carrier at the expense of the shipper.

9. 7 Star Auto Transport or its agents will not knowingly transport vehicles with personal or household items in the passenger or trunk compartment. Federal regulation prohibits 7 Star Auto Transport or its agents from doing so.

Any part that falls off in transit is shipper's responsibility, including damages done by said part to any and all vehicles involved.

12. If damage should occur, all moneys owed for transport must be paid to initiate a claim. Damage must be noted in the proper place on the bill of lading, and signed by driver and shipper, regardless of weather, or time of day. Signing the bill of lading without any notation of damage verifies that shipper or his agent has received the said vehicle in good condition, and that 7 Star Auto Transport and are relieved of any further responsibility. Shipper or his agent MUST check vehicle thoroughly.

13. 7 Star Auto Transport and its agents must also be notified of any damage by phone within 24 hours. Shipper must submit in writing a description of damage, clear pictures, and 2 estimates within 10 days of receipt of said vehicle directly to the designated carrier for any resolution to be initiated. 7 Star Auto Transport will support you in this effort should such a problem occur, but in no way will 7 Star Auto Transport accept responsibility for any negligence of the assigned carrier. If you vehicle is valued at a higher than market rate, we suggest you purchase a special insurance rider.

14. Any claim or controversy arising from or relating to this agreement, or the performance or breach thereof, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Broward County, Hollywood, Florida.
