| 4.1. |
AIRWAYBILL
The shipper shall make out or have made out on his behalf,
an air waybill in the form, manner and number of copies
prescribed by carrier, and shall deliver such air waybill
to carrier simultaneously with the acceptance of the cargo
by carrier for carriage. However, charges for carriage
and other charges, insofar as they have been ascertained,
shall be inserted in the air waybill by carrier. Carrier
may require the shipper to make out, or have made out
on his behalf, separate air waybills when there is more
than one package. |
| 4.2. |
SHIPMENT
RECORD
Carrier, with the express or implied consent of
the shipper, may substitute for the delivery of an air
waybill a shipment record to preserve a record of the
carriage to be performed. If such shipment record is used
carrier shall, if so requested by the shipper, deliver
to the shipper in accordance with carrier's regulations
a goods receipt permitting identification of the shipment
and access, in accordance with carrier's regulations,
to the information contained in the shipment record.
|
| 4.3. |
APPARENT
CONDITION / PACKING OF THE CARGO
If the apparent order and condition
of the cargo and/or packing is in any way defective the
shipper shall, if an air waybill is delivered, include
on the air waybill a statement of such apparent order
and condition. If no air waybill is delivered the shipper
shall advise carrier of the apparent order and condition
of the cargo, to enable carrier to insert an appropriate
reference thereto in the shipment record.
However, if the shipper fails to include such statement
in the air waybill or to advise carrier of the apparent
order and condition of the cargo, or if such statement
or advice is incorrect, carrier may include in the air
waybill or insert in the shipment record a statement of
the apparent order and condition of the cargo, or note
a correction thereto. |
| 4.4. |
PREPARATION,
COMPLETION OR CORRECTION BY CARRIER
Carrier may at the request of the shipper expressed
or implied, make out the air waybill in which event, subject
to proof to the contrary, carrier shall be deemed to have
done so on behalf of the shipper. If the air waybill handed
over with the cargo or if the particulars and statements
relating to the cargo furnished by or on behalf of the
shipper to carrier for insertion in the shipment record
do not contain all the required particulars, or if the
air waybill or such particulars or statements contain
any error, carrier is authorized to complete or correct
the air waybill or particulars or statements to the best
of carrier's ability without being under any obligation
to do so. |
| 4.5. |
RESPONSIBILITY
FOR PARTICULARS
The shipper is responsible for the correctness
of the particulars and statements relating to the cargo
inserted by him or on his behalf in the air waybill or
furnished by him or on his behalf to carrier for insertion
in the shipment record. The shipper shall indemnify carrier
against all damage suffered by him, or by any other person
to whom carrier is liable, by reason of the irregularity,
incorrectness or incompleteness of the particulars and
statements furnished by the shipper or on his behalf.
|
| 4.6. |
ALTERATIONS
Air waybills, the writing on which has been altered
or erased, need not be accepted by carrier.
