Member understands and agrees to:
ASC agrees to provide member with discounts with one or more LTL and/or
other freight carriers which ASC offers. This agreement gives ASC permission
to act on behalf of member to activate accounts for the carriers that you
have chosen for discounts under ASC's National Contracts. Because ASC is
simply an association; it cannot be held liable for mistakes made by either
the member or the carriers. ASC is not liable for errors resulting from
incorrect Bill-of-Lading., incorrect classing of shipments, inaccurate
weight or dimensions, loss of discount incurred from shipments to non-direct
destination points, or other such errors. ASC is not liable for changes or
errors in carrier policy or pricing, any damage or loss to any shipment, or
quotes received from carrier, ASC or carrier software.
Note for LTL Shipments: New Merchandise item's must have a proper NMFC# on
the bill-of-lading at time of pickup for proper carrier liability. Minimum
carrier liability on used household items, personal effects, and shipments
lacking NMFC# is 10 cents/lb.
Member understands that ASC receives a small commission from the carriers
and only receives commission if member pays carrier invoices on time.
Member agrees to make all shipments prepaid, not collect. Sometimes, ASC
may need to allow Member to third party bill shipments to ASC. ASC shall be
entitled to recover costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's
fees.
ASC reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time for any
reason. Member may terminate this agreement at any time for any reason by
notifying ASC in writing, while realizing that each carrier must be notified
and that 90 days or more may be needed to complete termination after all
past invoices have been paid in full. Member shall indemnify and hold ASC
harmless against all claims, costs, or damages, including, but not limited
to, direct and incidental damages arising from such authority and agrees to
pay and discharge all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney and
travel fees.
ASC may be required to file cargo claims for various carriers. The parties
stipulate to jurisdiction and venue in the State and County where ASC's main
office is located for any dispute or litigation. Member gives ASC
permission to fax and email updates and other information to member. ASC
does not sell or give out member information to others, except ASC does need
to give information to carriers or member's bank.
