Empty Storage: GES CANADA assumes no liability for loss or damage to Goods or
crates, or the contents therein, while containers are in storage. It is the Customer's
sole responsibility to affix the appropriate labels available at the GES CANADA
Service Desk for empty container storage. Damage that is the direct result of GES
CANADA's negligence shall be subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this
document.
Forced Freight: GES CANADA shall not be liable for Goods not picked up by
Customer's chosen carrier by the show deadline. It is the Customer's responsibility
to complete accurate paperwork for shipping and ensure its' Goods are
appropriately labeled. Customer acknowledges that it is a lessee of space, and as
such has an obligation to remove its' Goods on or before the targeted time. If Goods
remain on the floor after this point, GES CANADA has the right to remove them in
order to restore the premises to its original condition for show management pursuant
to the venue's lease with show management. In such cases GES CANADA is
authorized to proceed in the manner chosen Customer on the Order for Material
Handling Services/ Straight Bill of Lading. Failure to select one of the provided
options will result in re-routing at GES CANADA's discretion, and at Customer's
expense assuming the Goods are labeled for return. GES CANADA retains the right
to dispose of Goods left on the show floor without liability if left unattended, left
without labels or not correctly labeled.
Concealed Damage: GES CANADA shall not be liable for concealed loss or
damage, uncrated Goods, or improperly packaged or labeled Goods.
Unattended Booth: GES CANADA shall not be liable for any loss or damage
occurring while Goods are unattended in Customer's booth at any time, including,
but not limited to, the time the Goods are delivered to the dock until the time the
Goods are received by Customer's chosen carrier. All Material Handling Forms
and/or Straight Bills of Lading covering outgoing Goods submitted to GES CANADA
will be checked at the time of pickup from the booth and corrections to the count or
condition will be documented where discrepancies exist.
Measure of Damage: GES CANADA's liability shall be limited to the lesser of 1) the
depreciated value of Goods, 2) repair cost, or 3) the limitation of liability. The
limitation of liability shall be $0.30 (thirty cents) per pound per piece, $50 (fifty
dollars) per article or $1000.00 (one thousand dollars) per shipment.
No Insurance: GES CANADA is not an insurance company and does not offer or
provide insurance. It is the obligation of Customer to ensure Goods are insured at all
times. Loss or theft of the Goods in storage or in transit to and from the show and or
while on the show floor is the sole responsibility of Customer, unless it is shown that
GES CANADA performed in a manner that constitutes gross negligence in the
performance of its services for Customer.
Notice of loss or damage: In order to have a valid claim, notice of loss or damage to
Goods must be given to GES CANADA within 24 hours of occurrence or delivery of
Goods, whichever is later.
Filing of Claim: Any claim for loss or damage to Goods must be in writing, containing
facts sufficient to identify the Goods, asserting liability for alleged loss or damage,
and making claim for the payment of a specified or determinable amount of money.
Such claim must be filed with the appropriate party within the time limits specified
below.
Damage Reports, incident reports, inspection reports, notations of shortage or
damage on freight bills or other documents, do not constitute filing of a claim.
Claim for goods alleged to be lost, stolen or damaged at the Show Site must be
received in writing by GES CANADA within sixty (60) days after the close of the
show.
Claims for Goods alleged to be lost or damaged during transit must be received by
the responsible party within nine (9) months of the date of delivery of Goods. GES
Logistics subcontracts the movement of Goods to third party carriers. Claims for
damage in transit should be made directly with the Customer's carrier as shown on
the Material Handling form / Straight Bill of Lading. In the event of a dispute with
GES CANADA, Customer will not withhold payment or any amount due GES
CANADA for Services as an offset against the amount of the alleged loss or
damage. Customer agrees to pay GES CANADA prior to the close of the show for
all such charges and further agrees that any claim Customer may have against GES
CANADA shall be pursued independently by Customer as a separate action to be
resolved on its own merits. GES CANADA reserves the right to pursue collection on
amounts owed after show close, without regard to any amount alleged to be owed
for damage, or loss.
Filing of Suit: Any action at law regarding loss or damage to Goods must be filed
within one (1) years of the date of declination of any part of a claim.
VII. Jurisdiction, Choice of Forum.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
applicable laws of Canada or, alternatively, and depending on jurisdiction, the laws
of the Province of Alberta.
