Article 1: ACTIVITY AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION


BluBag ensures all forms of delivery under the express condition that such deliveries do not compromise the safety of the driving staff and are fully compatible with regulatory working and safety conditions.

The purpose of these conditions is to define the terms of execution by BLUBAG, as a Transport Organizer (O.T.), in any capacity, of activities and services related to the physical movement of shipments and/or the management of goods flows, whether packaged or not, of all kinds, from all sources, to all destinations, at a price freely agreed upon ensuring fair remuneration for the services rendered, both domestically and internationally.


Any engagement or operation whatsoever with BLUBAG implies unconditional acceptance by the client of the conditions defined herein.


Regardless of the transportation technique used, these conditions regulate the relationships between the client and BLUBAG.


No specific condition or other general conditions emanating from the Client (Ordering Party) can prevail over these, except with formal acceptance by BluBag.


Article 2: DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of these General Conditions, the terms below are defined as follows:


a) Ordering Party (or Client)

By Ordering Party (or Client), we refer to the party contracting the service with BluBag.


b) Recipient

By Recipient, we mean the party, designated by the Ordering Party or its representative, to whom the delivery is made. The Recipient is party to the transport contract upon its formation.


c) Package

By Package, we mean an object or a material set composed of several objects, regardless of weight, dimensions, and volume, making up a unit load at the time of transport (crate, cage, box, container, envelope, bundle, barrel, package, strapped or wrapped pallet, roll, bag, suitcase, etc.), prepared by the sender before pickup, even if the contents are detailed in the transport document.


d) Shipment

By Shipment, we mean the quantity of goods, including packaging and load support, actually made available at the same time to the transport and/or logistics operator and whose movement is requested by the same Ordering Party for a single recipient from a unique loading location to a unique unloading location.


Article 3: OBLIGATIONS OF THE ORDERING PARTY (OR CLIENT)

a) Packaging

The goods must be conditioned, packaged, marked, or counter-marked at the time of handing over to the O.T., in a way that they can withstand a transport executed under normal conditions, as well as the successive handlings that necessarily occur during these operations. It must not constitute a danger to the driving or handling personnel, the environment, the safety of transport vehicles, the other transported or stored goods, the vehicles, or third parties.

Should the Ordering Party entrust the O.T. with goods contravening the aforementioned provisions, they would travel at the risk and peril of the Ordering Party and under the discharge of all O.T. responsibilities.


b) Labeling

Clear labeling must be affixed to each package, object, or load support. This labeling, which may be affixed by the Ordering Party, is provided by the O.T.

This labeling thus allows for immediate and unambiguous identification of the sender, recipient, delivery location, and nature of the goods.

It is clearly understood that a significant part of the information, notably and without limitation: information concerning the sender, delivery address, recipient contacts, declared nature of the goods, etc., is the sole responsibility of the Ordering Party and can in no way engage the responsibility of the O.T.

The labels' mentions must correspond to those on the transport document.


c) Declarative Obligations

The Ordering Party is responsible for all consequences of a lack, insufficiency, or defectiveness of the packaging, marking, or labeling, as well as a failure to inform and declare the nature and specificities of the goods, for example regarding dangerous goods.

The Ordering Party alone bears all consequences, whatever they may be, resulting from incorrect, incomplete, inapplicable, or belatedly provided declarations or documents.


d) Reservations

In case of loss, damage, or any other damage suffered by the goods, or in case of delay, it is up to the recipient and/or the consignee to make regular and sufficient observations, to take motivated reservations and in general to perform all useful acts to preserve the recourse and to confirm said reservations in the forms and deadlines provided by law, failing which no action in guarantee can be exercised against BluBag or its substitutes.


e) Refusal or Failure of the Recipient

In case of refusal of the goods by the recipient, as in case of failure of the latter for any reason whatsoever, all initial and additional costs due and incurred for the account of the goods will remain fully chargeable to the Ordering Party.


e) Customs Formalities

Article 5: DECLARATIVE OBLIGATIONS

The Ordering Party is responsible for all consequences of failing to inform and declare the very exact nature and specificity of the goods when they require special provisions, particularly regarding their value and/or the covetousness they may provoke, their dangerousness, or their fragility.

Moreover, the Ordering Party expressly agrees not to hand over illicit or prohibited goods (for example, counterfeit products, narcotics, etc.) to the O.T.


The Ordering Party alone, without recourse against the O.T., bears all consequences, whatever they may be, resulting from incorrect, incomplete, inapplicable, or belatedly provided declarations or documents, including the information necessary for the submission of any declaration required by customs regulations, especially for the transport of goods from third countries.


Article 6: ACCEPTANCE OF TRANSPORT

The Ordering Party agrees to adhere to the following acceptance conditions:

The parcels entrusted must comply with the standards below:

Weight: less than or equal to 32 kg.

Maximum dimensions: the sum of the length + 2 heights + 2 widths must not exceed 300 cm, with the length not exceeding 150 cm.

Article 7: DEADLINES


Deadlines commence from the day the Ordering Party accepts the order.

The deadlines are provided for information purposes by the O.T.; they may be modified. Except for express special agreement, failure to meet the deadlines shall not give rise to the payment of damages in favor of the Ordering Party.


Any modification of the order requested by the Ordering Party may lead to a change in deadlines.


The O.T. is automatically released from any responsibility regarding deadlines in the following cases:

- The Ordering Party does not respond in time to additional information requests made by the Seller.

- The service cannot be executed within the agreed deadlines due to the Ordering Party or its client.

- Non-compliance by the Ordering Party with the obligations placed upon it.

- Cases of force majeure. It is specified that events such as war, riots, strikes and social movements, fire, accidents of all kinds, supplier default, and third party actions are assimilated to cases of "force majeure." In all these so-called "force majeure" cases, the O.T. will inform the buyer in a timely manner about the situation and its evolution so that the Ordering Party may implement a supplementary plan.


Article 8: SERVICE RATES

Services are performed at the price in effect at the time of placing the order.

The prices listed in the order are valid for a maximum duration of 30 days.

The stipulated prices will be subject to revision at each anniversary date of the contract.

The revision index is the reference index of the activity.

The contract expiration date is specified in the Special Conditions of the commercial contract. If not specified, it is set on January 1st of the calendar year.

Article 9: PAYMENT CONDITIONS


All our invoices are payable in full upon receipt by wire transfer and are always due, even in case of loss, damage, or delay resulting from fortuitous events or force majeure.

In accordance with Article L441-6 of the Commercial Code, agreed payment deadlines cannot in any case exceed thirty days from the invoice issuance date. In the absence of payment on the scheduled date, late penalties will be applied, without further notice, at the rate established by Article L 441-6 of the Commercial Code, increased by €40 for recovery costs. When the claim is handed over to a bailiff or any collection agency, the amount will be increased by a compensation equal to 15% of the declared sum, with a minimum of €150, in addition to legal interest and possible court costs.

All payments made before the due date do not entitle to any discount deduction.

By express agreement, the failure to pay, even partially, will result in the immediate demand for all other invoices not yet due, without the need for a formal demand.

Within the framework of online payment services by credit card, transport services are payable immediately.

Payment is made at the time of ordering, by communicating the Ordering Party's credit card number through a secure payment system (Carte Bleue, Visa, Mastercard, American Express cards are accepted).


Article 10: LIABILITIES – INSURANCES

The liability of BLUBAG cannot exceed for all justified damages for which it is legally liable, the following indemnities:

* For shipments of less than 3 tonnes: €33 per kilogram of gross weight of missing or damaged goods for each of the objects included in the shipment, without exceeding €1000 per lost, incomplete, or damaged package, regardless of weight, volume, dimensions, nature, or value.

* For shipments of more than 3 tonnes: €20 per kilogram of gross weight of missing or damaged goods for each of the objects included in the shipment, without exceeding for the entire lost, incomplete, or damaged shipment, regardless of weight, volume, dimensions, nature, or value, a sum greater than the product of the gross weight of the shipment expressed in tonnes multiplied by €3200.

* In case of proven commercial prejudice, the indemnity could not exceed the amount of the transport price.

In case of loss or damage, the Ordering Party must express reservations on the transport documents and send to BLUBAG by registered letter, their precise and motivated protest within three days (excluding public holidays) of the goods' receipt.

BLUBAG's pricing is established considering these limitations, and we could not be held to compensate any other prejudice. When the shipper entrusts us with goods whose value exceeds the above-indicated limits, it is their responsibility to declare this to us in advance through a written insurance order before each shipment, failing which they will assume the risks of transport for this excess value. This ad hoc insurance that we contract on behalf of the requester for a fee is called AD VALOREM.

Article 11: CONVENTIONAL PLEDGE RIGHT

Regardless of the capacity in which the O.T. acts, the Ordering Party expressly recognizes a conventional pledge right entailing the right of retention and preference general and permanent on all goods, values, and documents in possession of the transport operator, as a guarantee of the totality of claims (invoices, interests, expenses incurred, etc.) that the O.T. holds against it, even previous or unrelated to the operations performed concerning the goods, values, and documents actually in its hands.

Article 12: CANCELLATION – INVALIDITY


Should any provision of these General Conditions of Sale be declared null or deemed unwritten, all other provisions shall remain applicable.


Article 13: COMPLAINTS


They are admissible provided that the transport price has been paid. To be admissible by right, complaints, regardless of their cause or nature, must be reported within 72 hours by extrajudicial act or by registered letter accompanied by the justifying documents of the suffered prejudice. The Ordering Party alone bears all consequences, whatever they may be, resulting from incorrect, incomplete, inapplicable, or belatedly provided declarations or documents. In case of refusal of the goods by the recipient, as well as in case of failure of the recipient for any reason whatsoever, all initial and additional costs due and incurred by BLUBAG will remain at the charge of the Ordering Party.

Article 14: LAW AND JURISDICTION


This contract is subject to French law. In case of dispute or contention, only the Courts of the Headquarters of the Transport Operator (O.T.) are competent, regardless of the nature, cause, or place of the dispute and whatever the special conditions of the service, even in case of multiple defendants or warranty calls.
