(a) The value of a Consignment and the amount of potential loss to you that could arise if a Consignment is damaged or lost is not something which we can quickly determine but is something which is known to you. In most cases, it cannot be known to us and can only be known to you;
(b) The potential amount of loss caused or alleged by being caused to you will be the disproportionate to the sum that we could logically be expected to charge you for providing the Services under this Agreement;
(c) It is impossible for us to get cover which might offer unlimited compensation for our full potential liability to any or all of our customers and, even though it were, such cover would be less expensive if taken out by you (rather than us getting rid of such cover and shifting the cost on to you) and on that basis, it's more acceptable for you to take out such cover.
(d) We wish to keep the costs of providing the Service(s) to you as cheap as possible.
(e) In light of the above, we want to limit our liability for any damage caused to you to levels which we consider proportionate to our small charges for offering the Services.

(g) We investigate all claims received by us during an honest and speedy manner, however such investigations are a lot more accurate and are easier to perform shortly after the loss or damage is alleged to have incurred and on that basis, the timescales set out in this Agreement are necessary to make sure that such investigations are often performed moderately.
4.4 We shall not be responsible you under any circumstances for any direct or indirect loss (including, however not limited to loss of profits, or loss of goodwill) or for any other special or indirect losses, costs, damages, or claims that don't arise naturally as a result of our negligence, or other wrongful act or omission.
4.5 to ascertain the extent of our liability above, we shall require proof of the value and weight of the entire Consignment and any part or parts of it which make it up, and you must ensure that, before our collection, you have a record of these. For the avoidance of any doubt, and without affecting clause, we shall only be liable for the replacement value of the Consignment and not for any sums that would amount to profit on the Consignment or applicable value added tax (or like tax) on such gain.
4.6 If a claim arises as a result of damage to the entire or part of a Consignment, and if we wish to settle the claim for a sum equal to or higher than the value of the Consignment, then we shall be entitled to claim possession of the Consignment and handle it as we see fit.< For the avoidance of any doubt, we shall be liable for the cost of recovery of the Consignment.
4.7 If you wish to combine some discrete packages you must do this within an outer box or packaging fully encompassing each separate package.
