Liability PPF is not liable for any delay or failure to deliver due to fire, flood, strike or other labor difficulty, act of God, act of any governmental authority or of the customer, riot, embargo, fuel or energy shortage, wrecks or delay in transportation, inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, services or manufacturing facilities from usual sources, failure of suppliers, subcontractors or shippers to meet their contractual obligations, or any other causes of like or unlike nature beyond PPF's reasonable control. If customer will not accept delivery of merchandise when PPF is ready to make shipment, the merchandise may be transferred to storage. Transfer to storage and storage cost will be at the customer's expense and PPF may deem such transfer as delivery for all purposes including invoicing and payment, unless the transfer to storage is made prior to the specified shipping date. Unless complete instructions as to shipping method and route are stipulated in writing by the customer, PPF has the option to ship by, what is in PPF's opinion, the best way. Merchandise may be delivered at one time or in partial shipments.
Customer bears risk of loss or damage during shipment.
Unless otherwise stated on the invoice, shipping will be billed separately from merchandise. It is important that the customer inspect all delivered merchandise for any obvious damage, and to report such damage immediately, before signing any bill of lading or receipt of delivery . When the driver or delivery person is still present, PPF strongly recommends the customer note any damage directly on the bill of lading, and to have the driver or delivery person sign and date acknowledgement of this note. If the customer is not available at the time of delivery, PPF advises that any third party accepting delivery, such as a doorman or co-worker, follow this same procedure. PPF also recommends the customer retain copies of all shipping documents.
