Terms of Service
By engaging with GARRIDO DISTRIBUTIONS LLC, you're partnering with a logistics provider that prioritizes transparency and professional accountability. How do we ensure mutual success? By establishing clear operational boundaries from the first mile to the last.
We've spent 17 years refining our transit agreements to reflect the standard requirements of modern freight handling.
Standard Transit Agreements
1. Carrier Liability & Scope
All transportation services provided by GARRIDO DISTRIBUTIONS LLC are subject to restricted liability based on industry-standard weight-to-valuation ratios. We don't just move boxes; we manage risk. Your cargo is handled under the strict provision that all weight measurements and content declarations are accurate upon receipt at our warehouse nodes.
Are you aware of the specific limits? Our liability begins upon the physical handover of goods and terminates at the point of delivery signature.
2. Insurance Requirements
While we maintain comprehensive carrier insurance, we strongly advise clients to secure independent 'all-risk' cargo coverage for high-value shipments. We're committed to safety, but external transit factors beyond our control—such as maritime weather or regional disruptions—require additional protection. // TODO: link to insurance partners list
3. Demurrage and Detention
Efficiency is the heartbeat of logistics. When delays happen at pickup or delivery sites, demurrage charges may apply after the initial 2-hour grace period. This ensures our fleet remains mobile and service windows for other clients aren't compromised by localized site inefficiencies. Time is more than money; it's capacity.
4. Documentation & Compliance
The shipper is responsible for providing all necessary customs documentation, commercial invoices, and safety data sheets for hazardous materials. GARRIDO DISTRIBUTIONS LLC reserves the right to refuse any cargo that does not meet safety standards or lacks appropriate transit manifests. Integrity starts with the paperwork. // HACK: simplify the compliance checklist next update
