When a client places an order for Rapid Shipping LLC services, the company has the right to charge a non-refundable booking fee of up to $100. By entering into this agreement, you are acknowledging your responsibility to pay all fees associated with the services provided by Rapid Shipping LLC, as well as any other charges that may arise.
The fees for Rapid Shipping LLC services will be clearly stated in the order confirmation email and on the Rapid Shipping LLC website prior to submitting your order. The entire fee for transporting your vehicle will be divided into two installments. The first installment, known as the initial payment, is due when Rapid Shipping LLC assigns a carrier to transport your vehicle. The second installment, known as the remaining balance, is due when your vehicle is delivered.
Payment for the initial amount must be made using a credit or debit card. When you submit an order, please include your credit or debit card information. This will authorize Rapid Shipping LLC to conduct a $1 authorization to validate the card. Once the initial payment becomes due, the card will be charged.
Please note that the remaining balance and any additional charges that may arise as per the terms of this agreement must be paid in full at the time of delivery of your vehicle. You can make the payment either in cash or through a certified check directly to the carrier. If you fail to pay the remaining balance on time, you may have to bear the cost of storing the vehicle until the balance is fully paid.
All payments must be made in full by their due date, and the fees cannot be disputed or offset for any reason, including if you are dissatisfied with the services or if there are damages. After payment, the charges cannot be refunded.
If you do not make a payment on time or if we receive a chargeback for your payment due to a dispute or any other reason, you are required to pay Rapid Shipping LLC the outstanding amount owed. Additionally, you must reimburse all reasonable costs incurred in collecting any overdue payment or chargeback, including attorneys' fees, legal costs, court costs, and collection agency fees. Interest will be charged on late payments and chargebacks from the original due date. The interest rate will be the lower of 1% per month or the highest rate allowed by law.
The carrier is solely responsible for any damage that occurs to a vehicle during transport, not Rapid Shipping LLC. All contracted carriers will be insured to cover any damages caused by the driver or theft that may occur during transportation. Rapid Shipping LLC will provide you with a complete insurance packet to file a claim with the carrier in case of any damage.
Carriers are not authorized or covered by insurance to transport personal or household items. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that you may need to place some items in the vehicle. Please ensure that these items are placed in the trunk and that their total weight does not exceed 120 pounds. Rapid Shipping LLC must approve any exceptions after prior discussion.
A fee may be charged for personal items, regardless of their weight. In the event of any misrepresentation of personal belongings, there will be a change in price and/or a dry run fee of $130. This fee will be charged if the carrier has to attend the pick-up scene and the shipment is different from what was expected.
Under no circumstances should the client release or receive vehicle(s) from a carrier without an inspection report (Bill of Lading or BOL), regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. If the client fails to do so, they may not be able to file a damage claim. Carriers insurance will solely handle claims for damages that result from the carrier's negligence.
Please ensure that any damages are reported to Rapid Shipping LLC within 24 hours of delivery. All damages should be clearly listed on the Bill of Lading (BOL) and signed by the driver without any exceptions. If any damage occurs during transportation, it is important for the client to note those damages on the final inspection report. After that, they should pay the remaining balance mentioned in the agreement and get in touch with the carrier's main office and insurance company. If you fail to note any damage on the final inspection report, the carrier will not be held liable, and you will not be able to file a damage claim.
The client and Rapid Shipping LLC have both fully participated in reviewing and revising these terms. They have also had the opportunity to seek legal counsel for advice. This agreement shall not be subject to any rule of construction that resolves ambiguities against the drafting party.
The laws of the State of Texas shall govern and interpret this agreement. Both parties have mutually agreed that any legal action related to this agreement must be filed in a court of jurisdiction within Texas. It is also agreed that Rapid Shipping LLC's liability will be limited to the amount of money charged as Rapid Shipping LLC's fee. The client acknowledges and agrees to the jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts and relinquishes any entitlement to jurisdiction in any other place.
