United Parcel Service, through its affiliates (the "carrier"), is engaged in the international transportation of small packages in UPS Worldwide Express^SM, UPS Worldwide Expedited^SM, and UPS Standard services. All packages covered under a single UPS Waybill shall be considered a single shipment.

Commodities Handled and Restrictions on Service

The carrier offers transportation of general commodities, as usually defined, subject to the following restrictions:

(a) No service shall be rendered in the transportation of articles of unusual value. The maximum value or insured value per package is $50,000 (U.S.) and the maximum carrier liability per package is $50,000 (U.S.) except for packages containing jewelry, in which case the maximum value or insured value is $500 (U.S.) per package and the maximum carrier liability per package is $500 (U.S.)

(b) Refer the applicable UPS Service Guide for weight and size restrictions.

(c) No service shall be rendered in the transportation of any of the prohibited articles listed in the applicable UPS Service Guide.

(d) The carrier does not provide a protective service for the transportation of perishable commodities or of commodities requiring protection from heat or cold. Such commodities will be accepted for transportation solely at the shipper's risk for damage occasioned by exposure to heat or cold.

Prohibited by Law

No service shall be rendered by the carrier in the transportation of any shipment which is prohibited by law or regulations of any federal, state, provincial, or local government in the origin or destination country.

Right of Inspection

The carrier reserves the right to open and inspect any package tendered to it for transportation.

Refusal of Packages

The carrier reserves the right to refuse any package which by reason of the dangerous or any other character of its contents is liable, in the judgment of the carrier, to soil, taint, or otherwise damage other merchandise or equipment, or which is economically or operationally impracticable to transport, or which is improperly packed or wrapped. Packages must be so packed or wrapped as to pass the tests set forth in International Safe Transit Association Projects 1 & 1A.

Delivery Confirmation

At the time a shipper tenders a package to the carrier, the shipper may request Delivery Confirmation Service by indicating Delivery Confirmation on the shipping record provided to the carrier. Each Confirmation of Delivery response will include the date of delivery and either the name of the recipient or the disposition of the package; or, in the event of a return, the response will indicate the reason for the return and the date processed. An additional charge, as stated on the current rate chart, will be assessed for each such response. All responses will be consolidated and provided to the shipper weekly in printed or electronic format.
