Article 2

Scope of services

Liwas d.o.o., through its online platform Packagesender.com, acts as an intermediary between partner courier services and not as a freight forwarder.

After placing an order via the Packagesender.com online platform, the customer authorises Liwas d.o.o. to order the transport services from the carrier on his behalf and on the customer's account. The chosen carrier must meet the customer's requirements for the performance of the service for which it has been hired. Liwas Ltd. is solely responsible for the choice of the carrier and not for the performance of the carriage. The carrier shall be responsible for the performance of the collection, carriage and delivery of the consignment.

LIWAS is an intermediary between clients that wish to ship packages or documents and partners that perform these services as couriers. LIWAS undertakes to provide their clients with the cheapest and fastest manner of shipping packages or documents. Clients can enter into collaboration via webpage packagesender.com, where they can submit their order. The client undertakes to provide real information and to comply with articles of these Terms and conditions.

Article 3

Package

LIWAS in cooperation with their partners delivers packages weighing a maximum of 40 kg and documents up to 2 kg across the globe. The client must make sure that the package is appropriately packaged and should consider that packages should not exceed 175 cm in length or 3 m in general (L+2(W+H)). The courier reserves the right to refuse the transportation of a parcel if the measurements exceed the listed values, the costs are covered by the client.

The client undertakes to assure that package is soundly and securely packaged before collection into one piece or in as many as they listed when they submitted the order, and to hand over the package in the condition they undertook to when they submitted the order, which also applies in the case when the client and the sender are not the same person.

If the client ships more packages, or a package which is heavier or larger than they listed when submitting the order, it is a unilateral modification to the order and the client agrees that LIWAS can charge in addition to extra parcels, weight or size of the package also additional administrative costs in the amount of 10 EUR for each order. LIWAS will charge this amount to the client's credit card, which was used to pay for the order or send a bill, which the client will have to pay eight (8) days after they receive it. If not, an action for enforcement will be filed and the client will be additionally charged for the costs of the enforcement proceedings.

The customer is obliged to stick the waybill, which is sent to the e-mail address, on the package in a visible place to prevent the loss of the package. If the waybill is not affixed to the package in a visible place, the carrier may refuse to accept the shipment. If the Sender does not attach the consignment note or label or the correct address to the package or provide the necessary documentation, the Sender shall be liable for any additional costs incurred or for the loss of the package. In the event of a recall, the customer must be in possession of a signed delivery document for the package.

A package is properly packed when it is completely sealed and has no long, sharp parts protruding from it, as such a package is not suitable for transport. Packages shall not be forwarded on a pallet as courier services do not accept them.

The packaging used to wrap the parcel must be used to its optimum potential, as only the right size, the quality of the packaging and a completely filled inner space will protect the goods from possible damage.

In the case of a suitcase, it is treated as packaging and not as the contents of the forwarded consignment. Therefore, in the event of damage or loss, the courier service or its insurer shall not indemnify the suitcase, but shall consider only the contents of the suitcase as an element of the indemnity.

Breakable contents must be packed in Styrofoam or similar cushioning material; the "breakable" marking is a warning only and does not protect the contents of the package.

Electronic devices to be repaired must be packed in their complete, original packaging and properly padded.

Rechargeable batteries should only be handed over wrapped in transparent foil if you have obtained prior written confirmation of carriage from us, as we need the carrier's permission to carry such contents.

Car tyres can only be delivered in packs of two. They must be stacked together so that they cannot come loose during transport.

The bottles must be protected individually on all sides and with an inner filler.

Goods that cannot be properly packaged must be adequately protected before being wrapped in foil.

The package must be sealed on all sides and taped with adhesive tape.

Packages that are linked together are not picked up by the courier service, as they can become separated from each other. In such a case, only the parcel that is properly accompanied will be delivered. In this case, Liwas Ltd. and the courier services shall not be held liable for undelivered packages.

The name, address of the addressee, the waybill, additional service labels and other markings must be affixed to the maximum surface area of the package.

When using a cash service (redemption), the full amount must be electronically transmitted as well as on the packet itself.

Dangerous goods may not be delivered even with an external marking.

The Sender is obliged to ensure adequate inner and outer packaging. In the event of an inadequately packed, oversized or overweight Shipment, the Customer shall be solely responsible for any damage or loss. If the Shipment is improperly packed and may damage other Shipments, the Carrier shall have the right to refuse it.

In cases where the parcel is labelled "breakable" or "handle with care", the customer is still obliged to prepare the parcel properly for transport or to protect it properly with padding material, as the "breakable" or "handle with care" label does not protect the parcel during transport, but is only a warning to the service and does not constitute protection of the parcel.

Article 4

Prohibited items that interfere with transport

When the client receives these Terms and conditions, they agree with the list of prohibited items listed hereinafter and agree to never ship these items under no condition, because the shipment of these items is either prohibited in the terms and conditions of our partner courier providers or by law in the shipping or delivering country.

  • The Carrier has the right to refuse further carriage if, after taking delivery of the Package, the Carrier discovers that it is a Package which has been excluded from dispatch. In this case, Liwas d.o.o. reserves the right to charge the Customer for the administrative costs and the transport and handling costs of returning the goods;
  • The Sender/Customer undertakes to check and notify the broker Liwas d.o.o. before handing over the consignment if the consignment contains goods which are excluded from transport. The Carrier shall not itself verify whether the goods are subject to exclusion from transport. In case of doubt, the Sender/Customer must inform the broker and await the carrier's decision on carriage. Failure by the consignor to notify the broker of the shipment of goods which are excluded from transport under these Conditions shall be deemed to be a declaration that the consignment does not contain such goods;
  • In the event of a breach of the conditions for exclusion of the goods from dispatch as stated, liability for loss or damage shall be excluded.

In this event, the costs are covered by the client.

The client explicitly guarantees that by submitting an order to LIWAS they confirm that the contents of the package does not include prohibited or restricted items listed in these Terms and conditions.

Article 5

Shipment/parcels dimensions

Economy package having the characteristics of the permitted length: 175 cm, the sum of the circumference and the longest side must not exceed 300 cm: 2 x width + 2 x height + length ≤ 300 cm. In the event of an overrun, we will provide the customer with an explanation of the dimensions of the measured sides, together with an invoice. The same applies if the package is heavier than stated at the time of order.

When forwarding parcels, the carrier reserves the right to charge the higher of the volumetric weight or the actual weight of the parcels. Therefore, when packing consignments, the actual weight of the parcel must be matched with the volumetric weight of the parcel. In the event of a higher volumetric weight than the actual weight, the contractual partner shall charge the weight which is higher, i.e. the volume. In this case, we shall send the customer who ordered the parcel forwarding service a notification of the overrun together with an invoice. In the case of express forwarding, the customer should always enter the exact dimensions of his package using the packagesender.com online platform.

Incorrect dimensions and weight of the package do not affect the delivery itself. The parcel is delivered, but upon receipt of the notification from the contractual partner or the invoice from the courier service that carried out the transport, Liwas Ltd. will charge the customer who ordered the forwarding of the parcel for the additional costs incurred, as follows:

  • additional charges in accordance with the applicable price list if the shipment exceeds the weight or dimensions indicated at the time of ordering, and administrative costs;

or

  • additional costs for an amount determined by the carrier chosen in accordance with the nature of the penalty for overweight or oversize. If the consignment exceeds the maximum weight or dimensions permitted by the chosen carrier, the carrier may decide to refuse the transport service and not to charge the contractual penalty.

Article 6

Shipment weight

For forwarding of shipments in the economy mode over 30 kg and up to 40 kg in the EU area, please contact the company Liwas d.o.o. for the currently valid list of countries via info@packagesender.com, as this is not enabled by courier services to all EU countries.

For express delivery, the maximum allowed weight is 40 kg.

To forward heavier shipments, please contact us via our e-mail address and we will get and send an individual offer for you.

If you enter the wrong weight, the Liwas company can issue you an invoice for a package that was heavier than the entered weight, for an additional fee for the difference in weight, since each contractual partner measures and weighs the package before forwarding it.

When entering the weight of your package, please also pay attention to the dimensions of your package, because this is equally important.

Article 7

Order confirmation and cancellation

When a client submits their order on packagesender.com, they must provide real information about the package (amount, weight and size), accurate and complete information about the sender and recipient, and list the date of collection, which can change. The change depends on the partner courier provider and not LIWAS. The client should then choose method of payment and complete the payment. After the order is submitted, LIWAS confirms the reception of the order and passes the information to their partners. The client receives a confirmation e-mail to the address they listed with the order and tracking number which they can use to track their order online on packagesender.com. Should the client notice any discrepancies, they should immediately inform LIWAS. LIWAS should process the order as soon as possible and arrange the collection with the courier, who then informs the client about the collection date.

Reimbursement is possible in cases where:

  • if the customer has requested a refund and the shipment has not yet been collected - Liwas will refund the full amount paid;
  • if the collection is unsuccessful for reasons attributable to the customer, Liwas Ltd reserves the right to reduce the amount of the confirmed refund of the service charges due to attempts to collect the courier service;
  • If the Customer withdraws from the Contract, the Customer agrees to bear all costs incurred up to the time of withdrawal, even if the Shipment has already been received and forwarded to the address of the Consignee.

If the Customer is entitled to a refund of the Service Charges, the amount of the Service will be refunded in the same way as the payment was made (credit card, PayPal account, universal payment order, etc.) within eight (8) days from the moment of the notification of approval to the Customer.

In the event of a sudden change in the price of the transport chosen by the customer, Liwas Ltd. is obliged to inform the customer and obtain his consent. If the customer refuses the additional payment, the customer shall be offered a full refund and shall not forward the order for transport services to the chosen carrier.

Article 8

Package collection and delivery

On the day of the collection set by the client, the courier of the partner courier provider visits the address the sender listed on the order information. The sender must ensure that the identification label which they received in the email is visibly placed on the package, so there is no chance for confusion or mistake for delivery, and that the package is appropriately packaged, which includes that no damage can be made to the contents of the package even if dropped from 100 cm. In the case that the package is not appropriately packaged, the insurance of the relevant partner courier provider is void, and the client cannot ask for a refund. The collection spot (address) should be easily accessible, the courier should have the ability to park their vehicle 25 m from the collection address and to collect the package at the main entrance.

The courier can call the client or the sender on the number listed in the order information or on the intercom. The courier then takes the package to the collection centre, where it is directed towards the recipient. If the recipient does not take the package, the courier provider responds in accordance with their terms and conditions valid in the country of the recipient. The package can be collected by a third person situated at the address listed in the order information, if there is no valid reason to refuse the delivery.

When collecting a parcel, customers are advised to give the driver collecting the parcel a parcel receipt for signature, confirming that the parcel has been handed over and the number of the parcels handed over.

Parcels cannot be delivered to the recipient's address in some countries, but are delivered to a collection point or parcel machine. For clarification and information on which countries do not deliver to the recipient's address, Liwas Ltd. can be contacted by e-mail at info@packagesender.com.

If the client is shipping or receiving a package from third world countries, they should be aware that all shipments must go through the customs procedure. This can lead to additional expenses which must be covered by the client and are not included in the price the client paid upon submitting the order. Only after the customs or other public duties are paid will the package be shipped forward. The courier will deliver the package as soon as possible and upon prior notice. The courier is only obliged to deliver the package to the main entrance of the building and not to the door where the recipient lives. The recipient has the right to refuse the acceptance of the delivery. In this event, the package is returned to sender at the client's expense. In the event of an unwarranted refusal, determined solely by LIWAS, any additional expenses are charged to the client.

Article 9

Additional shipping costs

  • For the forwarding of tyres, the Sender will be charged a surcharge of € 3 (three) + VAT per package. In the event of additional charges, the Customer will be informed by e-mail to the address provided at the time of ordering and will be obliged to pay the additional amount within a maximum of eight (8) days.

Article 10

Too big or Overweight shipments – additional costs

If the package exceeds the weight or size indicated by the customer at the time of ordering in the Packagesender.com online platform, Liwas d.o.o. may:

  1. charge additional costs in accordance with the applicable price list if the Shipment exceeds the weight or dimensions specified at the time of ordering, and administrative costs;

or

  1. charge additional costs for the amount determined by the carrier chosen in accordance with the nature of the penalty for overweight or oversize. If the consignment exceeds the maximum weight or dimensions permitted by the chosen carrier, the carrier may decide to refuse the transport service and not to charge the contractual penalty.

Incorrect dimensions and weight of the parcel do not affect the delivery itself. The parcel shall be delivered, but upon notification by the contractual partner or receipt of the invoice from the courier service that carried out the transport, Liwas Ltd. shall charge the customer who ordered the forwarding of the parcel the additional costs incurred.

In the event of additional charges, the Customer will be notified by e-mail to the address provided at the time of ordering and will be required to pay the additional amount within a maximum of eight (8) days. This notification shall be deemed to be an enforcement notice. In the event that Liwas does not receive payment within the above time limit, the Customer shall be liable for the costs of the enforcement proceedings. For clarifications and information, Liwas Ltd. can be contacted by e-mail at info@packagesender.com.

If the Customer prepares an oversized or overweight Shipment for collection, the Customer will not be entitled to a full refund of the transport costs. The chosen carrier shall also have the right to return the Shipment to the Sender or to refuse to accept the Shipment. The Customer shall be liable for any costs incurred in failing to collect or returning the Shipment to the Sender.

Any additional costs arising from the customer's additional requests to the carrier shall be borne solely by the customer, and Liwas d.o.o. reserves the right to claim from the customer reimbursement of any costs paid by the customer to the carrier, even if the costs have been incurred after the transport service has already been provided.

Article 11

Correction of delivery address

If the chosen courier service allows it, the sender can take advantage of the option to change the recipient's address, which may affect the delivery time of the parcel. The change of address, if any, must be notified to the courier service prior to delivery. If the contractual partner provides the service, it is subject to an additional charge, for which you will be invoiced. If the recipient of the parcel corrects the delivery address himself and the courier service bills us for this, Liwas Ltd. will invoice the subscriber of the service - the sender of the parcel - for the additional service provided.

If the package has already been collected from some of the courier services with which Liwas Ltd. has a contract to provide services via packagesender.com, it is not possible to change the details. If you wish to change your details, please contact us as soon as possible at our e-mail address info@packagesender.com and, if possible, we will try to arrange the change.

Article 12

Delivery time

Delivery times are listed on packagesender.com and are for orientation only. The precise delivery date is impossible to predict, which is why the dates are estimated. Delivery time depends on the country of the sender and the country of the recipient and on the size and weight of the package, and, of course, on unforeseeable circumstances. It is in everyone's best interest to deliver the package on time. By agreeing to these Terms and conditions, the client confirms that they are informed about the possibility of delays in collection and delivery of the package and understands and consents that delays in delivery of the package are also possible due to customs and other administrative procedures. LIWAS reserves the right to demand a reimbursement from the client for the expenses related to the customs process.

LIWAS is a commissioner and only an intermediary between a client a partner courier provider as a service provider and is no way responsible for any delays in the process of collection or delivery of the package and is also not responsible for any damages that could occur as a result of a loss, damage or destruction of the package. Any possible damages or delays in the process of collecting and delivering the package fall under the responsibility of the courier service providers. LIWAS is only responsible for the selection of partners as courier service providers.

All pick-up and delivery times are estimated and not guaranteed, as the carrier does not guarantee delivery times. By accepting the General Conditions, the Customer acknowledges that it is aware and accepts that many unforeseeable circumstances may cause delays in collection or delivery. In the case of customs procedures, the transit time shall be extended accordingly for the duration of the customs procedures. The package must be accompanied by all transport documents necessary for successful delivery. Delays caused by incomplete or missing documents shall be the responsibility of the consignor or the person who issued the incomplete documentation. Liwas Ltd. and the courier service performing the transport shall not be liable for any damage caused if the consignment is not delivered to the consignee in time.

The delivery or collection time for parcels where the recipient or sender is located in a smaller city may be longer, as the courier is not in the area every day.

For express services in smaller towns, DHL Slovenia does not direct its own couriers, but has a contract with Post Slovenia, which picks up and delivers the parcels on their behalf. For this reason, delivery or collection times may be extended. The same conditions apply to DHL in foreign countries where delivery or collection is carried out by contractual partners, for smaller or specific cities in each country of the local DHL.

Article 13

Payment for services

The client makes a payment for the services they perform on pacakgesender.com. This can be done when they are submitting an order in one of three ways: with a valid debit or credit card with enough resources to successfully complete the payment, through PayPal where the client is registered, or through bank transfer with order of payment, in this case, the order is confirmed after the complete payment has been received by LIWAS or if the confirmation of payment is sent to the e-mail info@packagesender.com and from which the client then receives information on all details of the order. Cash on delivery is not possible.

In addition to the purchase price, the client is also responsible to cover all taxes and other public duties related to the shipment of goods (including but not limited to customs, excise duties and other taxes) and is obliged to settle them immediately. If, for whatever reason, any of these expenses, losses or taxes and other public duties are covered by LIWAS for the client, the client's credit card which was used to pay for the service will be charged for the amount paid by LIWAS.

Liwas d.o.o. acts as an intermediary between partner courier services through its online platform Packagesender.com. After placing an order, the customer receives a confirmation e-mail, a waybill and then an invoice for the brokerage service provided.

In the case of use of the online platform, the cost of forwarding and arranging collection and forwarding of the package shall be paid by the means of payment chosen (credit card, PayPal account, universal payment order, etc.) in a lump sum. The invoice specification shall include information on the number of packages, weight and price. If a cooperation contract has been signed, the invoice shall be issued retroactively for the services rendered during the period agreed in the contract. The customer is obliged to settle the invoice by bank transfer, within the time limit specified in the contract and also on the invoice.

The invoice has a claim period of eight (8) days from receipt.

If Liwas does not receive payment for the services rendered within the time limit indicated on the invoice, the customer is liable for the costs of the enforcement proceedings. For clarifications and information, Liwas Ltd. can be contacted by e-mail at info@packagesender.com.

Article 14

Recalls - picking up a package abroad

You can order a package to be forwarded from any country on our website Packagesender.com, but the recall order must be completed by 14:00 for a scheduled pick-up on the next working day. Like package delivery, package pickup contains estimated dates and not guaranteed dates. Pickups are only made during working days. If an order is received for a parcel to be collected on a weekend or public holiday, i.e. a non-working day, the collection shall be ordered on the first working day and shall presumably take place on the second working day, not on the same working day. Such parcel collections are then presumably made on the second (2nd) working day.

Article 15

Insurance and insurance cover

Shipment insurance is not provided by Liwas Ltd, but by courier service providers.

Liwas d.o.o., through its courier service contractors, provides compensation (parcel compensation) to the customer for each parcel in the event of damage, if the chosen courier service is responsible for the damage. This is damage resulting from negligence or unprofessional conduct, including partial or total loss or destruction of the package.

The service user has the right to lodge a complaint in the event of damage to the package immediately upon delivery, or within 2 days of delivery at the latest if the defects are not immediately visible. If the recipient of the package or the customer of the transport service fails to lodge a complaint within the time limits specified, he/she shall forfeit the right to compensation.

The contractor or our contractual partner must respond to the complaint within 30 days for packages sent by domestic mail and within two months for packages sent internationally.

Payment of the settled claim is made to the claimant's transaction account. I will only refund the purchase price you indicate on the form.

In the event of loss or damage to the package, Liwas Ltd. and the courier service shall not be held liable for the loss of the package. Liwas Ltd. and the contracted courier services shall not be liable for late delivery of packages that do not have a guaranteed delivery date.

The Customer shall not have the right to transfer compensation in the event of damage or loss to third parties.

We divide the insurance into three categories for the value of your shipment:

  1. All packages transmitted via Packagesender.com include insurance coverage up to a maximum of € 200 (two hundred) provided by the selected courier service provider. The insurance premium is already included in the basic price of the shipment. The insurance cover in the event of damage or loss of the consignment covers the costs incurred as a result of the damage or loss itself and the cost of transport. Cover up to € 200 (two hundred) covers the contents of the Shipment up to a value of € 200 (two hundred), even if this exceeds the amount stated. In the event of a greater value of the consignment and possible damage or loss of the package, our contractual partner or its authorised insurance company will reimburse you up to a maximum of € 200 (two hundred).

The insurance cover or indemnity also includes the cost of transport.

  1. If the value of the contents of the Shipment with insurance cover is greater than € 200 (two hundred), the Customer has the option to take out additional insurance directly on the Packagesender.com online platform when completing the order for the forwarding of the Package. The additional insurance covers only the value of the goods not covered by the basic insurance.

The request for additional insurance must be made at the time of placing the order and before taking delivery of the package. It will be charged according to the price list. For packages delivered before the written approval of the request, the excess insurance will not be valid. In order to take out the insurance, the Customer must provide an invoice showing the actual contents of the shipment, its value, the sender and the recipient.

The price for contents insurance up to € 2,000 (two thousand) is € 15 (fifteen) + VAT (tax is applicable in the EU and not in the Third World).

In the event of damage to or loss of a Shipment, the insurance cover includes the cost of the damage or loss itself and the cost of transport. Cover up to a maximum of € 2,000 (two thousand) includes insurance of the contents of the Shipment up to a maximum value of € 2,000 (two thousand), even if this exceeds the above amount. In the event of a greater value of the consignment and possible damage to or loss of the package, our contractual partner or its authorised insurer will indemnify you up to a maximum of € 2,000 (two thousand).

The insurance cover or indemnity also includes the cost of transport.

  1. for the amount of the insurance of the contents of the Shipment exceeding € 2,000 (two thousand), the amount to be paid for the insurance of the package shall be 1% of the value of the contents of the Shipment forwarded, as evidenced by the Customer's invoice. The invoice for the insurance up to € 2,000 (two thousand) and the supplement to the invoice for the insurance of the higher value (the difference above € 2,000) shall be forwarded to the Customer prior to the actual acceptance of the Package. The amount of the insurance shall constitute the security for the contents of the consignment, which shall be evidenced by the customer by means of an invoice for the contents of the consignment, indicating the value of the contents of the consignment, the contents, the sender and the consignee. The insurance cover in the event of damage to or loss of the consignment shall cover the costs incurred as a result of the damage or loss itself and the cost of transport. Coverage above €2,000 (two thousand) includes insurance of the contents of the Shipment with a value above €2,000 (two thousand), the value of which the Customer shall prove by means of an invoice. In the event that the value of the consignment exceeds the insured value, our contractual partner or its authorised insurance company will reimburse you for the maximum amount of the insured value.

The insurance cover or indemnity also includes the cost of transport.

All orders for carriage by road shall be insured in accordance with the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR). All orders for carriage by air shall be insured in accordance with the Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention, depending on the type and conditions of carriage.

The insurance does not apply if the forwarded packages contain content that the carrier excludes and has not agreed to in writing, or for non-standard items.

It does not cover damages caused by force majeure (war, extreme weather conditions, riots, strikes, accidents, machinery breakdowns, disruption of road or air traffic, etc.).

In the event of damage or loss, Liwas Ltd. shall submit a claim to the chosen carrier on behalf of the customer. The decision as to whether the customer is entitled to the payment of the insurance indemnity shall be taken solely by the responsible carrier or its authorised insurer.

A complaint is not possible if the packaging (cardboard, suitcase) is damaged, but only if the contents of the parcel are damaged.

The right to payment of the insurance benefit cannot be exercised in the event of:

  • inadequate packaging;
  • Carriage of prohibited items (as specified in the General Conditions);
  • for consignments that have not been adequately protected and packaged for transport;
  • if the Customer has breached these General Terms and Conditions in any way.
  • For lost or damaged items, only the original invoice is proof of value.
  • Depreciation will be taken into account for second-hand items, not the new value.
Claims procedure in case of damage or loss

In the event of loss of the package, Liwas d.o.o. will submit an insurance claim on behalf of the customer to the chosen carrier. The decision as to whether the insurance claim is payable is the sole responsibility of the carriers or the courier service insurers directly.

In the event of damage to a parcel, the person receiving the parcel must report it to the driver at the time of delivery and immediately fill in a damage report. Failure to do so may result in the carrier or the insurer refusing the claim.

In order to initiate a procedure for a lost or damaged parcel, Liwas d.o.o. must receive information about the damaged parcel at info@packagesender.com within 2 working days of receipt of the parcel, or as soon as possible. The recipient must notify Liwas Ltd. in writing of the damage to the parcel and attach the following to the notification:

  1. a report signed by the driver and the customer;
  2. photographs clearly showing the damage (the customer must provide photographs of the consignment after delivery by the chosen carrier, showing that the damage to the consignment or its contents occurred during transport);
  3. a picture of the package showing the waybill;
  4. a picture of the package showing how it was protected;
  5. a list of the contents of the consignment and its value - an invoice.

In the event of a lost parcel, the courier service must declare it lost and Liwas will then handle the insurance claim on behalf of the customer. The customer must intervene:

  1. an acceptance note signed by the driver and the customer;
  2. a list of the contents of the consignment and its value - the invoice;

If the notification is not received by Liwas d.o.o. by e-mail to info@packagesender.com in the manner specified above or if the notification is not accompanied by all the required attachments, the notification shall be deemed not to have been sent.

Upon receipt of all documentation, Liwas Ltd. will, at the request of the customer, send to the carrier, together with all attachments, a claim for insurance benefits. The decision as to whether an insurance claim is payable is the sole responsibility of the carriers directly or the insurance companies which have contracts with the carriers.

Additional insurance (up to €2,000 and over €2,000) covers the value of the goods not covered by the basic insurance. The carrier or the insurance company, on the basis of the documentation provided and in accordance with the terms and conditions of business and the internal regulations, shall decide on the amount of the insurance indemnity, over which Liwas d.o.o. shall have absolutely no influence whatsoever. When deciding on the amount of the insurance indemnity, the carrier and the insurer shall take into account the extent of the damage (whether or not the item is still usable). If the items are not brand new, depreciation may be deducted from the value of the new material. Where the invoice shows shipping costs and VAT, these are not taken into account in the calculation of the amount of the insurance benefit.

Article 16

Customs procedure

When dispatching packages subject to customs clearance, the consignor is obliged to provide all the necessary documentation to ensure the smooth running of the customs procedure. The documentation must be attached to the package in an outer envelope if it is not transmitted electronically. Failure to provide the necessary documentation shall be the responsibility of the consignor for any additional costs incurred. The customs procedure shall not be arranged or managed by Liwas Ltd. as an intermediary. It shall be managed in accordance with the policy of the carrier carrying the particular package or pallet and in accordance with the legislation of the country of destination of the consignment. For any information regarding the customs procedure, the company can be contacted by e-mail at info@packagesender.com. If the Customer wishes to return the parcel, the Customer shall bear the cost of returning the parcel, as well as any customs charges in the country of the consignee as well as in the country of the sender.

Article 17

Opening, returning, using and destroying parcels

LIWAS and partners undertake that they will not open the packages unless in case of emergency, if the contents of the package needs to be protected, if it is the only way to identify the sender or the recipient, if it is to help prevent the risk of danger to people or property, to verify if the package contains perishable goods or any other goods restricted by these Terms and Conditions, if the goods require immediate use or if the value of the goods do not justify the cost of storage. It is possible that the package will be opened in the customs procedure to verify the value and credibility of the package.

Subject to the following conditions, the Carrier shall have the right to open, return, use or destroy the Packages.

The Carrier shall have the right to open the Packages under the conditions set out below and the Sender waives any claim for damages and/or delays arising from such opening, inspection and control:

  • To protect the contents of the package and/or to salvage the contents of damaged packages;
  • To identify the consignee or consignor, if this cannot be established by other means;
  • In order to avoid any risks that could pose a danger to persons or property (to check whether the package contains perishable goods and/or any other goods excluded from carriage in these General Conditions, the condition of the goods requires immediate use, the value of the goods does not justify the storage costs);
  • to comply with a legal decree or directive from the authorities.

If the delivery problems cannot be resolved, the carrier has the right to return the parcel to the sender under the following conditions:

  • For shipments within Slovenia, immediately, without first obtaining instructions from the sender;
  • For international duty-free shipments: if the sender does not respond to a request for further instructions within 7 calendar days;
  • For international shipments with customs clearance: after 14 calendar days if customs clearance is not possible due to lack of instructions and/or other reasons.

If the carrier is unable to resolve the problems with the delivery of the parcels, he has the right to use the goods under the following conditions:

  • If the Sender fails to respond to the carrier's request for additional instructions (within 7 calendar days for intra-Slovenian Shipments; within 7 calendar days for international Shipments without customs clearance; within 14 calendar days for international Shipments requiring customs clearance).
  • If the carrier is unable to obtain instructions because the consignor or consignee cannot be identified. The consignor and consignee shall be deemed to be unidentified if no information identifying them can be obtained within 90 calendar days.
  • Without prior instructions from the consignor, if the goods are perishable; the condition of the goods justifies such action; the value of the goods does not justify the cost of storing them; the goods are a danger to persons or property; an official directive so requires.

If the conditions are met that the goods cannot be served by the carrier and the goods cannot be used, the carrier has the right to destroy the goods if this is not contrary to the interests of the sender and the carrier is aware of those interests. Goods shall be deemed to be unusable if they cannot be sold.

The Sender is obliged to reimburse Liwas d.o.o. for all financial obligations and additional costs and expenses incurred in opening and/or using and/or destroying and/or returning the Parcels in the Republic of Slovenia and abroad.

The Sender acknowledges and agrees that the Carrier may monitor X-ray packages in accordance with certain applicable laws and regulations.

The return of the parcel shall be arranged at the request and expense of the sender of the parcel, if the recipient of the parcel does not accept it and does not agree to the destruction of the parcel. In this case, the sender shall bear the costs of customs in the country of the consignee as well as the sender.
