In the event that YRC, in its sole discretion, decides to use
another indirect air carrier or a direct air carrier (hereinafter
"air carrier") as substituted service, Shipper hereby agrees to be
bound by such individual air carrier's bill of lading (whether
issued or not) and such air carrier's applicable tariff(s),
including, but not limited to, all limitations of liability and
defenses therein.
YRC's air bill of lading and air tariff(s) will take precedence in
the event a conflict should arise between any air carrier's bill of
lading and tariffs and YRC's air bill of lading and air tariff(s).
Furthermore, all YRC air limitations of liability, as stated or
incorporated herein, will be applicable if YRC decides to transport
the shipment via some other mode.
YRC's limits of liability for cargo, loss and/or damage are stated
below. YRC retains a lien on the shipment for all applicable
transportation charges.
Shipper and YRC hereby expressly waive any and all rights and
remedies that they may have against each other pursuant to the
Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995, as codified
at 49 USC Subtitle IV, Part B, chapters 131-149. All claims must be in
writing.
All claims for loss, damage and/or delay (except concealed damage
claims) must be filed in writing with YRC within ninety (90) days of
the date of pick-up.
All claims for concealed damage must be filed in writing with YRC
within seven (7) days of the date of pick-up.
All lawsuits for cargo claims must be filed in a court of competent
jurisdiction within one (1) year of the date of pick-up.

specified, in the event of loss, damage or delay to any shipment, the
carrier's liability will not exceed $0.50 per pound, per package or
carton, subject to a maximum liability of $100,000 per shipment or

must indicate in writing on the bill of lading at the time of shipment
the total dollar amount of excess coverage requested (see examples
below). The maximum liability will not exceed $2,000,000.00 when added
to the initial maximum coverage. In no case will the carrier's
liability exceed the actual value of the property.
EXAMPLES
Shipper requesting $10,000.00 additional excess coverage would endorse
on the bill of lading as follows:
"$10,000.00 excess liability coverage requested"
or
"Excess liability coverage requested: $10,000.00"
NOTE: A declared value on the bill of lading, standing alone, is not
acceptable as a request for excess liability coverage.
CHARGES - In addition to the lawful freight charges otherwise accruing
to the shipment, the carrier will assess an additional charge as
provided in Table #1 for coverage in excess of the initial maximum
liability.
