2. Responsibilities of Novo Express

Unless Novo Express issues a bill of lading under its own name as a carrier, Novo Express acts
only as the agent of the Customer, Shipper, and Third Party in arranging for the handling, transport, storage and/or delivery of Goods and does not assume liability as a carrier or warehouseman. In cases where the Customer/Shipper/Third Party/Consignee does not select a person or firm to perform the services requested, Novo Express shall use reasonable care in selecting a person or firm to do so.

Novo Express shall use reasonable care to ensure that written special instructions concerning the handling, transport, storage or delivery of Goods or collection of funds in payment for the Goods, including instructions relating to "Cash/Collect" on "Delivery (C.O.D.)" shipments, bank drafts, cashier's and/or certified checks, letter(s) of credit and other documents, are complied with. However, Novo Express shall have no liability if the person or firm which is responsible for executing the instructions or obtaining the documents required fails to follow the instructions provided.

Although Novo Express may arrange for cargo insurance to its Customers, Novo Express is under no obligation to procure such insurance. If a Customer requests cargo insurance, it shall be liable for the amount charged by Novo Express to procure such insurance, which shall consist of the insurance plus an amount to cover Novo Express's overhead and profit.

Novo Express does not warrant or represent that any person or firm to whom it entrusts Goods for handling, transport, storage and/or delivery will render the services for which it has selected, nor does Novo Express assume responsibility or liability for any actions and/or inactions of such persons or firms.

All claims which arise from the acts or conduct of a person or firm other than Novo Express shall be brought solely against such person or firm. Novo Express shall reasonably cooperate with the Customer in connection with any such claims. Customer/Shipper/Third Party agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any charges or costs incurred by Novo Express in doing so.

3. Limitations of Liability of Carriers and Others
