Declared Value and Limits of Liability

• Limits of Liability

  We want your shipment protected the way you expect. The declared value you specify at booking sets our maximum liability for that shipment (declared value is not insurance).

  Default: Unless a higher value is declared at the time of booking/tender and the applicable charge is paid, our liability is limited to $100 per package.

  Declared-value charges: a $2.50 minimum applies for any shipment with a declared value over $100. For declared values over $500, add $0.50 for each $100 (or fraction) above $500. Declared value must be entered in whole dollars. Except as limited below, the maximum declared value per package in any Jet Delivery, Inc. shipment is $25,000.

  Need true cargo insurance? On a case-by-case basis, we can help obtain single-shipment cargo insurance through one of our licensed insurance partners before pickup. Availability, limits, deductibles, and pricing are subject to underwriting and partner terms. Coverage is not effective unless confirmed in writing. Jet Delivery is not an insurer and does not sell insurance; any policy is issued by the insurer, and any claim under such policy is filed directly with the insurer.

  No consequential damages: We are not liable for special, incidental, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (for example, lost profits, income, interest, or business), even if advised of the possibility.

  Jet Delivery maintains corporate insurance appropriate for our operations (e.g., commercial auto liability and cargo). These policies primarily protect Jet Delivery and do not increase the declared-value limits stated above. Certificates of Insurance are available on request.

  This summary is for convenience and does not modify our Terms & Conditions. All liability and coverage are subject to applicable law and policy terms, exclusions, and conditions.

• When We Act as a Broker

  On some shipments, we act as a property broker (freight broker)—we match your load with a qualified, authorized motor carrier that meets our compliance standards. In those cases, Jet Delivery is not the motor carrier and does not assume motor-carrier liability.

  If there’s loss or damage, the claim is filed with the motor carrier under its terms and applicable law. We’ll help you with the paperwork and follow-up. Any Jet Delivery liability, if any, remains limited by the declared-value rules above.

Maximum Declared Value

Packages containing all or part of the following items are limited to a maximum declared value of $500:

• Artwork, including any work created or developed by the application of skill, taste or creative talent for sale, display or collection. This includes, but is not limited to, items (and their parts) such as paintings, drawings, vases, tapestries, limited-edition prints, fine art, statuary, sculpture, collectors' items, customized or personalized musical instruments.
• Film, photographic images, including photographic negatives, photographic chromes, photographic slides.
• Any commodity that by its inherent nature is particularly susceptible to damage, or the market value of which is particularly variable or difficult to ascertain.
• Antiques, any commodity which exhibits the style or fashion of a past era and whose history, age or rarity contributes to its value. These items include, but are not limited to, furniture, tableware, glassware and collectors' items such as coins, stamps, sports cards, souvenirs and memorabilia. (Collector's coins and stamps may not be shipped. See "Restrictions.")
• Glassware, including, but not limited to, signs, mirrors, ceramics, porcelains, china, crystal, glass, framed glass, flat panel display screens (all types), plasma screens, and any other commodity with similarly fragile qualities.
• Jewelry, including, but not limited to, costume jewelry, watches and their parts, mount gems or stones (precious or semiprecious), industrial diamonds and jewelry made of precious metal.
• Precious metals, including, but not limited to, gold and silver bullion or dust, precipitates or platinum (except as an integral part of electronic machinery).
• Stocks, bonds, cash letters or cash equivalents, including, but not limited to, food stamps, postage stamps (not collectible), traveler's checks, lottery tickets, money orders, prepaid calling cards, bond coupons and bearer bonds.
• If a multipiece shipment is tendered to Jet Delivery, palletized and shrink-wrapped as one single handling unit, the maximum declared value for that single unit is $25,000 and not $25,000 per package contained within that multipiece shipment.

Important limits: Attempts to declare a value above the maximums are not valid. Acceptance of such a shipment does not waive these limits. Even if a higher value is declared, our liability will not exceed the shipment’s repair cost, depreciated value, or replacement cost—whichever is less.
