1. Limitation of Liability

  • Liability for loss, damage, or delay shall not exceed the lesser of the invoiced value of the goods or £300 per shipment, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • Liability is strictly limited to direct loss; consequential or indirect losses (e.g., lost profits, missed deadlines) are excluded.

2. Third‑Party Deliveries

  • Where final delivery is performed by a third‑party carrier (e.g., DHL, DPD, Royal Mail), Adonai Logistics acts only as an agent.
  • Responsibility for loss, damage, or delay rests with the third‑party carrier under their own terms.
  • Claims must be directed to the carrier; Adonai Logistics will provide reasonable assistance but accepts no liability beyond its own handling.

3. Insurance

  • Customers are responsible for arranging adequate insurance coverage.
  • Shipments are not automatically insured unless expressly requested and paid for in advance.
  • High‑value items should be declared and insured prior to shipment.

4. Delivery Liability Clause

  • Liability for deliveries made directly to our office premises applies only if the customer furnishes proof of delivery.
  • Acceptable proof is visual evidence (photo or video) clearly showing the item delivered to our office.
  • Without such proof, Adonai Logistics shall not be held responsible for alleged non‑delivery or loss.

5. Claims Procedure

7. Payment Terms

  • Invoices are payable upon receipt.

9. Lien and Disposal

  • Adonai Logistics reserves a possessory lien over all goods until charges are paid in full.
  • If payment is not received within 14 days of written notice (to last known address/email), goods may be sold by public auction or private treaty.
  • Proceeds will first cover unpaid charges, storage, and sale costs. Surplus will be returned to the customer; if insufficient, the customer remains liable for the shortfall.
