   ‍

   ‍
3. The Freight Charge includes all expenses incurred by you, in particular any road tolls or other road user charges and all foreseeable and normal services by you, in particular those of the loading and unloading, if agreed upon between you and the Shipper in the respective Transport Order, as well as the costs of the loading. 
   ‍
4. If any special expenses not anticipated at the time of formation of an Agreement, any charges for transport insurance or any other additional costs may be incurred, you must obtain approval from the Shipper before such expenses are incurred.

1. In the event that we provide incorrect information in a Transport Order the following applies:

a) If the volume/weight is actually lower than stated in the Transport Order, you will receive the agreed Freight Charge.

b) If the volume/weight (mass)/dimensions are actually higher than stated in the Transport Order, where such amended volume/weight (mass)/dimensions are such that the Transport Order can still be carried out under any applicable Laws, you will receive the corresponding adjusted Freight Charge.

c) In case of an incorrect loading or delivery address, as well as the incorrect indication of a loading or delivery date, we will be responsible for the costs of a second delivery up to the amount of the actual costs (and limited to the amount of the Freight Charge in the applicable Transport Order).

a) where you are unable to collect the Goods at the delivery times specified in the Transport Order and on first attempt (eg due to lack of space, lack of loading aids, etc.), you must remedy the situation by means of a second attempt (coordinated by us with the Shipper). In the event of a delay of pickup by more than three hours, we are entitled to organise a replacement Carrier at the expense of you; and

b) without limiting any other liability of you under these Terms, you are liable for damages to the Shipper, the Recipient and/or us arising due to a delayed collection or Delivery and indemnify us from and against any claims from the Shipper and/or the Recipient against us.

A demurrage policy is a set of rules and guidelines for assessing fees on individuals or businesses that exceed a specific time limit for using equipment, facilities, or other resources. 

A carrier can claim demurrage if the waiting time exceeds 2 hours and they arrive on time for their booking time slot for collection location or time slot for delivery location. The 2 hours starts from their booked time slot (not before if the carrier arrives early)
‍
To claim demurrage, the carrier must show evidence that demurrage occurred.
The evidence requested is:
- GPS data to show arrival and leaving times, or location data from using the Ofload App.
- Notify Ofload at time when waiting is exceeding the 2 hours to give the opportunity to contact the site and see if we can rectify the delay.

Demurrage will be calculated as follows:

Single/ Rigid:
$15 per 15 minutes.

B Double:

$20 per 15 minutes.
