Worldnet shall have the right to destroy any Shipment if Worldnet is prevented by any law or law enforcement agency from returning it in whole or in part to Shipper, as well as any Shipment of Dangerous Goods.
- Inspection
Worldnet has the right to inspect a Shipment without notice for safety, security, Customs, or other regulatory reasons.
Inspections will be conducted using regulatory approved methods or best practices, using technological or physical means. These methods and means may require the Shipment to be opened.

Any objection to inspection must be declared for each Shipment, to Customer Service, at the time the Shipment order is placed.

- act as Shipper’s or Consignee´s true and lawful agent or designate a Customs broker to perform export control and customs clearance.
- redirect the Shipment to Consignee’s Customs broker or other address upon request by any person who Worldnet believes in its reasonable opinion to be authorized. Shipper or Consignee will provide any extra authorization required by applicable law for Worldnet to facilitate clearance of a Shipment.
All activities performed by Worldnet necessary to facilitate transportation may incur charges to the Client.
- Export Controls and Sanctions
Sanctions imposed by the United Nations, European Union, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other Nations restrict trade with certain entities, countries, or territories. Sanctions may include arms embargoes and other economic measures such as restrictions on imports and exports.
- It is Worldnet’s policy to comply with applicable international trade laws including relevant export control and sanctions.
- Failure to comply may expose both Worldnet and our Clients to severe criminal and civil penalties, as well as reputational damage.
Worldnet performs Denied Party Screening for Shipments transported within its network.
- The screening is undertaken to ensure Worldnet is compliant with applicable laws and regulations, and not on behalf of clients who remain responsible for their actions.

Worldnet Shipment charges are calculated according to the higher of actual or volumetric weight per piece and any piece may be re-weighed and re-measured by Worldnet using calibrated instruments to confirm measures.
Payment of Customs Duties and other charges due are the responsibility of the Client. This includes a fee if Worldnet uses its credit with the Customs authorities or pays any Customs duties on behalf of any of the interested parties to the transaction. Client shall pay Worldnet for all Customs duties and other charges due for services provided by Worldnet or incurred by Worldnet in relation to the transaction.
Worldnet payment terms are thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice for Shipment charges and due on receipt of invoice for Customs Duty and VAT/Taxes, or otherwise indicated on the invoice or allowed by applicable law where the account is established.
Failure to provide payment on time will result in late payment charges, such as fixed charges, interest charges at the current rate, and/or administrative charges.
If the Client Account has a secondary payment method on file (such as a credit card), payment will be applied through the secondary payment method to avoid the initial payment failure.
Outstanding balances after sixty (60) days from the date of the invoice may result in a freeze or closure of the Client’s account, transfer of outstanding balance to a debt collection company and additional recovery charges may apply.

Worldnet’s liability in respect of any Shipment transported within the same country by air or land, is limited to $100 or the local equivalent per Shipment, or the value of the shipment, whichever is less, unless stated otherwise or required by applicable law where the Account is established.
Worldnet’s liability in respect to any Shipment transported internationally by air (including ancillary road transport or stops en route) is limited by the Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention as applicable, or in the absence of such Convention, to the lower of (i) the current market or declared value, or (ii) 22 Special Drawing Rights per kilogram (approximately $US 30.00 per kilogram).

Such limits will also apply to national road transportation in the absence of any mandatory or lower liability limits in the applicable national transport law.
Worldnet’s liability is strictly limited to direct loss and damage to a Shipment only and to the limits in this section. Where the limits are applicable by weight, the chargeable weight will be used. All other types of loss or damage are expressly excluded (including but not limited to lost profits, income, interest, future business, incidental and consequential damages), whether such loss or damage is special or indirect, and even if the risk of such loss or damage was brought to Worldnet’s attention.
Worldnet will make every reasonable effort to deliver the Shipment according to Worldnet’s regular delivery schedules, but these schedules are not binding and do not form part of the contract. Worldnet is not liable for any damages or losses caused by delay, but for certain Shipments, Shipper may receive a credit from Worldnet not to exceed the service fee charged.
- Claims
All claims must be submitted in writing to Worldnet within five (5) days of the date that Worldnet delivered the Shipment, failing which Worldnet shall have no liability whatsoever.

ARTICLE 3- PRIX DE LA PRESTATION

Calcul du Prix
Les prix de la Prestation sont calculés sur la base des informations fournies par le donneur d’ordre, en tenant compte notamment des prestations à effectuer, de la nature, du poids, et du volume de la Marchandise à transporter et des itinéraires à emprunter. Worldnet prend en compte deux indicateurs de mesure : le poids réel et le poids volumique. Le plus important des deux sera pris en compte.
Les Prix de la Prestation sont également fonction des conditions et tarifs des sous-traitants éventuels de Worldnet. Si ces derniers venaient à être modifiés de façon opposable à Worldnet, les Prix des Prestations de transport fournis par Worldnet pourraient donc faire l’objet de modifications.
Ces tarifs sont applicables pour toute Prestation réalisée en France et à l’étranger.
3.2.
Modalités de calcul
Les prix ne comprennent pas les droits, taxes, redevances et impôts dus en application de toute règlementation notamment fiscale et douanière.
3.3.
Renégociation
Les prix initialement convenus sont susceptibles d’être renégociés au moins une fois par an. Ils sont aussi révisés en cas de variations significatives des charges du Commissionnaire de transport, charges qui tiennent le plus souvent à des conditions extérieures au Commissionnaire de transport, telles que notamment le prix des carburants.
3.4.
Réductions de prix
Des réductions de prix ne sont pas à proprement parlé appliquées.
Deux types de tarifs peuvent être appliqués, selon que la Prestation correspond à un service « spécial » réalisé le plus souvent dans l’urgence ou à un service de « groupage » pour lequel la Marchandise de plusieurs Clients sont enlevés et traités en même temps.
3.5.
Conditions de règlement
La Prestation est toujours facturée au Client.
Worldnet adresse au Client une facture correspondant à la Prestation et une facture correspondant aux droits et taxes avancés par Worldnet, dans laquelle sont inclus des frais d’avancement..

La facture correspondant aux droits et taxes avancés par Worldnet, dans laquelle sont inclus des frais d’avancement, est adressée à raison de deux échéances mensuelles et est payable et exigible à 7 jours à compter de sa réception par le Client.
Tout retard de paiement de l’une ou l’autre des factures entraine de plein droit, le jour suivant la date de règlement figurant sur la facture, l’exigibilité d’intérêt de retard d’un montant équivalent au taux d’intérêt appliqué par la Banque Centrale Européenne majoré de dix points et fixé selon les modalités définies à l’article L.441-6 alinéa 12 du Code de commerce et ce sans préjudice de la réparation éventuelle, dans les conditions du droit commun, de tout autre dommage résultant directement de ce retard.

Tali limiti si applicheranno anche al trasporto nazionale su strada in assenza di limiti di responsabilità obbligatori o inferiori nella legge nazionale applicabile in materia di trasporti.
La responsabilità di Worldnet in relazione a qualsiasi spedizione trasportata a livello internazionale per via aerea (inclusi i trasporti stradali accessori o le soste lungo il percorso) è limitata dalla Convenzione di Montreal o dalla Convenzione di Varsavia, a seconda dei casi, o, in assenza di tale Convenzione, al minore tra il valore corrente di mercato o dichiarato, o fino a 22 Diritti Speciali di Prelievo per chilogrammo (circa € 26,00 chilogrammo).
