7. Shippers
Shippers, by using our website you are entering into an agreement with the carrier and you will be bound by the terms and conditions of carriage of the carrier. The terms and conditions of carriage will be provided by the carrier to you for acceptance at the time of quotation. You accept the carrier's terms and conditions, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by these terms and conditions. Your acceptance of a quotation provided by the carrier is not retractable unless: (1) the carrier materially changes the quote details after your acceptance; (2) a typographical error is made. Quotations are offered on the basis of the details that you provide. If the goods do not conform to the details you have provided in any way the carrier reserves the right to refuse to accept the goods for transport without liability to you. The carrier may inspect the goods before accepting them for carriage. We recommend that you do not seal any package before inspection by the carrier. IMPORTANT: We do not screen or qualify carriers for compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations. It is recommended that you confirm such compliance directly with the carrier before services are rendered by the carrier.
We reserve the right to substitute the carrier you have selected if we have reasonable grounds to believe the carrier will be unable to render the services they have advertised at the agreed price. Should this occur we will provide you with the details of the substitute carrier and a revised quotation from another carrier. You will have the right to accept the revised quotation or to cancel the transaction without penalty.
We include Goods in Transit Insurance up to the value of Rs. 10,000/- on every shipment.
Some items cannot be covered.

Please send photos of your packed items if you are in doubt.
In some circumstances we may enter into the contract of carriage with the carrier as your agent. In those circumstances, you authorise and instruct us to enter into the contract of carriage as your agent and you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the carrier. The terms and conditions of the carrier will be disclosed to you at the time the quotation is presented to you for acceptance.

The few hazardous materials that lawfully may be transported under certain conditions (if they are properly packaged and labelled) may be listed for carriage on our website provided that the listing contains a clear notice of the hazardous nature of the material and a description of the planned method of shipping that complies with the law and any occupational health and safety legislation. For details on particular hazardous substances and transportation requirements in India, please consult your local postal authority and/or regulatory agency.
Restricted Items: Prohibited regulated or perishable goods. These are items considered restricted or perishable by Indian authorities which generally do not pose a danger to health, safety, or property while being transported, but their transport is regulated or banned for public policy reasons.

Full responsibility rests with the shipper to comply with all postal and other laws and regulations that relate to the carriage of hazardous, restricted and perishable material.
