Dates provided for pick up or delivery are never guaranteed, as certain conditions can alter a Carrier's schedule ( i.e. weather and road conditions, scheduling or mechanical issues, a late customer, etc.).

Clients may never hold Mt. Olive liable for costs incurred as the result of any delays, including (but not limited to) any car rental fees or accommodation fees and/or storage fees incurred by Client.

The total price for the transportation is factored using numerous pieces of information including (but not limited to) the size and/or weight of the vehicle(s).

Mt. Olive will not charge the brokers fee until the Client's vehicle (s) is picked up. Upon releasing vehicle(s) to the Carrier selected, Client accepts the services from Mt to be satisfactory and complete. Any service fees or deposits unpaid by the time of delivery will be added to the remaining balance and either collected by Carrier on delivery or charged on the credit card provided in this agreement plus a convenience fee of 5% before the vehicle(s) will be released at delivery. All deposits and service fees are final and non-refundable.

Vehicle(s) is (are) considered in operational condition and must be able to be driven onto and off of Carrier's truck under vehicle's own power at all times during shipment unless clearly noted on Client's order as non-running or inoperable('INOP'). INOP vehicles must roll, steer and brake. If the vehicle does not meet all three of these conditions, additional fees may apply. Vehicles that become non-operational during shipment, for any reason, will be subject to an additional, industry standard, non-operational fee of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00). If the vehicle is INOP and Carrier cannot physically reach the pickup or delivery location, a local tow truck may be used to assist in the service at the expense of Client. Also, any Client shipping INOP vehicle(s) may be required to help load or unload at Carrier's discretion. Client agrees and understands that vehicle(s) must be free of cargo as neither Mt. nor Carrier are licensed or insured to handle the transportation of "Household Goods". Damage to, loss of, or fines issued to Carrier resulting from any unauthorized cargo present in vehicle during shipment are the sole responsibility of Client.

It is Client's responsibility to ensure that vehicle(s) is(are) ready to be released to the chosen Carrier by the projected pickup date provided by Client at the time of order placement. Failure to release vehicle(s) for any reason (including but not limited to: storage, auction, port, towing, mechanical, purchase fees, scheduling or personal issues, etc.) may result in cancellation and/or a 'Dry Run' fee.

Brokers fee are final and non-refundable.

In the event Client or Agent is unable to meet Carrier at the appointed time for delivery and/or make payment of balance due, vehicle(s) may be stored in a facility chosen by Carrier at Client's expense. Mt. will not be held responsible for any storage fees. Payments for the balance due to the Carrier (COD) must be made upon delivery of vehicle(s) unless other arrangements are made.

All COD payments must be made directly to Carrier in the form of cash, cashier's check payable to Carrier's company name ONLY. A company check may be issued but the client must arrange this type of payment in advance. In the event the client decides to arrange to make full payment with a credit card, the order will be subject to a 3% convenience fee.

Mt. will not be responsible for demurrage at any Port Facilities. Payment for the sea portion MUST be issued by the client BEFORE the vehicle arrives at the port. Failure to do so may cause delays.

This contract is subject to all of the terms and conditions of Carrier's straight bill of lading and any liability exclusions therein. Mt. has no responsibility or liability for any damage to vehicle(s) and/or the contents of said vehicle(s) during transport or at any other time. Client or Agent should under no circumstances release or receive vehicle(s) from a Carrier without an inspection report (Bill of Lading/BOL) regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. Carrier and Client, or Agent, are required to verify, sign and obtain a copy of both pick up and delivery inspection reports. Failure to do so may result in Client's inability to file a damage claim. Carrier's insurance will ONLY process claims for damages due to Carrier's own negligence. Damage must be reported to Mt. within 24 hours of delivery and clearly listed on the BOL and signed by Carrier's driver, no exceptions. In the event there is damage during transport, Client (or designated Agent) must note those damages on the final inspection report, pay the remaining balance stated on the agreement (all monies owed for transport must be paid)

Then contact Carrier's main office as well as Carrier's insurance company. Clients will have to 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 and his insurance company for any resolution to be initiated. Failure to note any damage on the final inspection report releases Carrier of any liability and could result in the inability to process a damage claim. Neither Mt. nor Carrier can be held responsible for damages caused by vandalism, acts of God (hail, fire, sandstorms, flooding, snow, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), objects flying from the road or objects falling from the sky during transport.

All Carriers selected by Mt must maintain the required insurance to protect Client’s vehicle(s) during transport. Once vehicle(s) have been dispatched to the selected Carrier, Mt. will email Client a copy of Carrier's Operating Authority along with a copy of the active insurance, as well as, any and all pertinent contact information for Carrier. Copies of Carrier's direct bill of lading must be obtained from the Carrier's driver and/or Carrier's office at the phone numbers provided. Clients have the right and ability to refuse the service of the selected Carrier and to request to be set up with a different Carrier by Mt. Refusal of Carrier must be done in writing.

If Mt. Has to re-schedule the pick up there will a $25.00 rescheduling fee that will be charged in addition to the deposit on the credit card provided. In the event that Carrier is unable to safely access the pickup or delivery addresses given by Client (due to, but not limited to: entrance restrictions, low hanging branches, and/or narrow streets), Client agrees to meet Carrier at a nearby location in order for Carrier to safely perform his service. Inability to meet Carrier at pick up and/or delivery may result in additional fees. Client understands that the vehicle(s) will be driven onto and off the truck at the driver's discretion.
