Acceptance of these terms and conditions

Upon delivery to us of the documents and/or packages as well as the shipping information indicated on the front, you expressly agree that you have reviewed the information you have provided to us for filling in this waybill and that such information is correct. You also expressly accept the terms and conditions contained herein and those that appear on the FedEx Service Guide, which you acknowledge to be familiar with and have consulted on our webpage: www.fedex.com/mx or at any of our Customer Service Centers.

Carriage of documents and/or packages

FedEx agrees to transport and deliver the shipment covered by this document to the address of the recipient, and within the period, indicated on the front. Next day service means that FedEx will do its best efforts to deliver the shipment within the day following the date on which it was received; nevertheless, in remote locations, this period may be extended as necessary, as set out on the front of this document. FedEx will make its best efforts to obtain a delivery record signed by the addressee or someone at the address at the time of delivery. FedEx may provide the services either directly or through any third party retained by it, as it may deem fit under the circumstances.

You must properly pack the contents of the shipment, and correctly complete this document. If you do not state the number of packages covered by this document, it will be understood that you only delivered to us one package. FedEx may verify the true weight of the shipment and, if necessary, adjust the rate applicable to the shipment in accordance with the rates in force on the date on which FedEx received the package (these may be found on our webpage:www.fedex.com/mx or at any of our Customer Service Centers.

Obligation to pay

Although you may provide us with different billing instructions, you will be the principal person obligated to pay the total charges for our services (including any others that become payable, such as storage for reasons not the fault of FedEx, return of the shipment, additional declared value, multiple delivery attempts because of the absence of the addressee, etc.).

Limitation of our liability

Our liability for damage to the contents of the shipment or its loss, for loss or damage of any nature, for absolute liability, or for any other reason, is limited to an amount equal to thirty (30) days of the daily minimum wage for the Federal District, unless: (a) you have expressly declared and we have accepted a declaration of additional value on the appropriate line on the front of this document, at the time of delivery to FedEx; (b) you have paid to FedEx the charge for the additional value. In all cases, it will be necessary for you to prove, in a legally unquestionable manner, the amount of the loss or damage suffered and submit your claim to FedEx within the period set out in Section 8 below. FedEx is not providing any insurance, something that you expressly acknowledge. With the exception of the foregoing, FedEx does not accept any other liability for loss or damage that you may suffer. FedEx will also not be liable for: (i) acts or omissions of the sender, addressee, or any third party, including, among others, defects or faults in wrapping, packing, marking or labeling the shipment; (ii) violation of the terms and conditions contained herein, by the sender or the addressee; (iii) prohibited items; (iv) loss and/or damage arising from causes not the fault of FedEx or from Acts of God, force majeure, natural disasters, public disturbances, or acts of subversive groups, guerillas, or organized crime, or for any other acts or omissions of government authorities, whether federal, state, or municipal.

Claims

Without prejudice to what may be provided by law, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO FEDEX IN WRITING WITHIN THE 21 CALENDAR DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE OF DELIVERY OF THE SHIPMENT OR THE ESTIMATED DATE OF DELIVERY. Even though you may call our Customer Service Department at telephone number 55.5228.9904, in any case you must submit your claim in writing within the period above mentioned. FedEx will not be obligated to pay any claim unless the charges for our services have been totally paid. You will have no right to deduct any amount with respect to a claim from the charges to be paid to FedEx. For us to be able to process your claim, we would appreciate your having handy for our inspection the original shipping packing. If the addressee accepts the shipment without making any notation or exception on the delivery record, it will be assumed that the shipment was delivered in good condition.

Right to inspect

FedEx may inspect the shipment at any time and may permit government authorities to carry out such inspections as they may consider appropriate. FedEx, in addition, may reject or suspend the carriage of any prohibited items or one that contains materials that damage or may damage other shipments or that may constitute a risk to FedEx equipment or employees or to those of its service providers.
