7 Prohibited and Restricted Items and rights of inspection
7.1 The Services will not be provided (and any Services ordered may be cancelled without notice to you), and you agree not to order Services, in respect of the carriage or storage of any prohibited items as listed on our Website at www.rapidparcel.com/prohibiteditems ("Prohibited Items"). If you are in any doubt as to whether an item is a Prohibited Item, you must check with us before ordering the Services. Neither we nor the Carrier will be responsible for any Prohibited Items.
7.2 If you do send a Prohibited Item, we or the relevant Carrier may deal with the Package concerned as we/they see fit (which shall include without limitation the release, destruction, disposal or sale of the Package without incurring any liability whatsoever to you or anyone else) and you shall be charged for all costs and expenses arising therefrom, and you will indemnify us and the relevant Carrier against all claims, losses, damage or injury suffered by us, the Carrier or any of their respective employees, subcontractors or agents by virtue of you having sent the Prohibited Item concerned.
7.3 Neither we nor the Carrier shall be responsible for any loss or damage to any items deemed unsuitable for shipment by the Services (as listed on our Website at www.rapidparcel.com/restricteditems) ("Restricted Items"). You may send Restricted Items by using the Services but you do so entirely at your own risk (and neither we or the relevant Carrier will be liable for any loss or damage to any Restricted Item) as no special handling is provided for Packages containing Restricted Items. We or the Carrier may each in our absolute discretion refuse to carry Packages containing Restricted Items.
7.4 Shipment of any Prohibited Item or any Restricted Item may be subject to surcharges, delays or confiscation by authorities, non collection, non delivery or return. If a Prohibited Item or Restricted Item is accepted by us or the Carrier and then later returned, we reserve the right for us to deny refund of carriage and apply charges for the return of the Package and for us or the Carrier to release, dispose of or sell the Package without incurring any liability whatsoever to you or anyone else. You will be responsible for any additional costs incurred in respect of the Package concerned.
7.5 You agree that we, the Carrier or any governmental, border or customs authority may open and inspect your Package at any time.
7.6 Packages may be subject to security screening which could include the use of x-ray equipment.
8 Documentation
A consignment note ("Consignment Note") must be completed in respect of every Package. You must give a full description of the Package on the Consignment Note and you are responsible for ensuring that the Consignment Note sets out adequate contact details for you and the addressee of the Package and that they are so packed, marked and labelled, properly described and classified and are accompanied by such documentation as may (in each case) be necessary to make them suitable for transportation and to comply with the requirements of customs and applicable law.
