SHIPA FREIGHT™ USER AGREEMENT

This Shipa Freight™ User Agreement (the “User Agreement“) and all policies and additional terms posted on and in our sites, applications, tools and services (collectively “Services“) set out the terms on which Shipa Freight Solution L.L.C., a company organized under the laws of Dubai, U.A.E. (hereinafter, the “Company“ “we“ or “us“) offers you access to the Shipa Freight™ service. You agree to comply with all of the terms of this User Agreement when accessing or using our Services.

About Shipa Freight™

Shipa Freight™ is an online freight quotation service operated by the Company. The Company acts as an agent for iContainers Solutions, S.L. (a company organized in Spain) and its worldwide affiliates that provide international freight forwarding services to customers (collectively and individually “ iContainers” iContainers).

By accessing the Shipa Freight™ web-platform, any person or entity interested in shipping goods from one location to another can - subject to any restrictions by law or under this User Agreement - get a quotation and place a transport order in just a few minutes.

In providing you any information in connection with a quotation, the placing of your transport order or the execution thereof, the Company is merely acting as an agent for iContainers and as an intermediary between you and the respective iContainers Entity. When you accept a quotation through Shipa Freight™ along with the iContainers Solutions General Terms and Conditions of Contracting the actual freight forwarding contract is entered into between you and iContainers. The Company is not a party to the freight forwarding contract.

Fees

As of the date hereof the Services are provided to you free of charge. However, we reserve our right to charge fee to the users of Shipa Freight™ at a later date, in which case the terms of this User Agreement will be amended accordingly and posted on the Shipa Freight™ website.

Reliance On Information Furnished

You are required to review all information that is legally required for the proposed shipment (including but not limiting to written declarations, licenses, as well as entry, export or security data among others) and ensure the correctness of the same before submitting them to us.

You are also required to provide verified weights obtained on calibrated, certified equipment of all cargo that is to be tendered to steamship lines. You acknowledge that iContainers is entitled to rely on the accuracy of such weights and to counter-sign or endorse it as your agent in order to provide the certified weight to the steamship lines.

iContainers will rely on the correctness of all documentation furnished by you through Shipa Freight™. You shall indemnify us and iContainers and hold us and iContainers harmless from any and all claims asserted and/or liability or losses suffered by reason of your failure to disclose information or any incorrect or false statement by you upon which iContainers reasonably relied.

Quotations Not Binding

No quotation shall be binding upon iContainers unless and until you have accepted the quotation offered to you by iContainers through Shipa Freight™ and the iContainers Solutions General Terms and Conditions of Contracting. Until such acceptance is provided, we reserve the right to modify the quotation based on the instructions provided by iContainers.

The Freight Forwarding Contract

Once you accept the Quotation by iContainers through Shipa Freight™, a freight forwarding contract is entered between you and iContainers exclusively under the iContainers Solutions General Terms and Conditions of Contracting, which will be made available to you by way of a link on the quotation presented by iContainers. The Company is not a party to such freight forwarding contract.

You expressly acknowledge that an electronic signature may be used in lieu of a signature affixed by hand, and that such a signature shall have the same validity and effect as the use of a signature affixed by hand. You further expressly acknowledge that, notwithstanding any statute, regulation, or other rule of law, with respect to any transaction in or affecting foreign commerce: (a) a signature, contract, or other record relating to such transaction may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form; and (b) a contract relating to such transaction may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation. You acknowledge that the use of the Shipa Freight’s system for a transaction shall be sufficient to constitute the customer’s signature, and the customer’s acceptance and the applicability of this User Agreement and of the iContainers Solutions General Terms and Conditions of Contracting to such transaction.

Not being a party to the freight forwarding contract and in its capacity of a mere intermediary, the Company hereby disclaims any liability to you, your affiliates or any other party in connection with the performance of the freight forwarding services. You acknowledge that you have no legal recourse to the Company or its affiliates in connection thereto. If, notwithstanding the above, a competent court determines that we should be liable to you, then the iContainers Solutions General Terms and Conditions of Contracting, including its limitations of liability, shall be applicable to us as well.
