Customers shall pay in full for services rendered by CCX within seven (7) days of receipt of CCX's invoices which invoices are generally submitted no less frequently than monthly.  CCX reserves the right to impose an additional charge of 18% per annum (i.e., 1 1/2% per month) on outstanding balances that are more than thirty (30) days overdue.  Interest will be compounded and applied cumulatively for any month or portion thereof, where an outstanding balance remains.  CCX may at its option, add charges for services to the shipper's invoice for COD or collect shipment amounts for which the receiver refuses to pay CCX.

III.    Limitation of Liability

CCX will not be liable for special, incidental, or consequential damages relating to any carriage, including but not limited to lost income or profits, whether or not CCX had knowledge that such damages might be incurred.  CCX's liability with respect to damage from any carriage shall be limited to $100.

V.    Events Beyond CCX's Control

CCX will not be liable for loss, damage or delay caused by events CCX cannot control, including but not limited to acts of God, weather conditions, acts or omissions of public authorities including customs and health officials, and other events beyond CCX's control, which might delay, impair or prevent delivery.

VI.    Additional Charges

CCX's standard rates are based on the shipment of items that are less than 50 pounds.  For items that weigh 50 pounds or more, CCX's rates will be increased by $5 per each additional 100 pound increment, or portion thereof.  CCX imposes no waiting charge for the first 10 minutes that a carriage item is not ready for pick-up by CCX at the customer's scheduled pick-up time.  A waiting charge of $45 per hour, prorated to actual time, is charged thereafter.
