General Terms and Conditions of Trukar Sp. z o.o., ul. Białoruska 7/74, 30-638 Kraków, Poland, KRS 0001201266, NIP 6793345983 (hereinafter “Contractor” or “Trukar”), for contracts with its clients (hereinafter “Customer”).
01
Preamble
These terms apply to all orders for the acceptance and carriage of goods on behalf of the Customer. Customers may be businesses or consumers. Consumers separately confirm their acceptance of these terms when placing an order. Deviating or conflicting terms of the Customer do not become part of the contract, even if we do not expressly object to them.
03
§ 2 Offer, acceptance, prices and cancellation
- The Contractor generally responds to a binding request from the price calculator within 24 hours, confirming or rejecting it. Acceptance is made in text form (e.g. e-mail or WhatsApp).
- The loading area dimensions of a rate indicate the maximum space available. The Customer is entitled only to carriage of the packages actually booked.
- The Customer provides all transport documents in good time, at least 24 hours before the start of transport, and at least 48 hours in advance for cross-border transport with possible customs clearance. This expressly includes customs documents.
- Additional costs caused by missing documents or information are borne by the Customer, including the cost of any resulting extension of transit time not caused by the Contractor.
- The charge is the price calculated in the price calculator on this website and confirmed by the Contractor. Prices for businesses are exclusive of statutory VAT where applicable.
- If the Contractor uses third parties as carriers, it ensures that they comply with all legal requirements, in particular applicable minimum-wage rules. Its responsibility towards the Customer remains unaffected.
- Fixed dates and next-day deliveries require express confirmation and are charged separately.
- If the Customer cancels the order, 50 % of the agreed freight is payable for cancellation up to 48 hours before execution and 90 % for cancellation within 24 hours before execution. Third-party services already provided or started (e.g. customs clearance, ferries) and any waiting charges incurred are charged in full. The Customer may prove that the actual loss was lower.
05
§ 4 Payment and delivery
- Payment is made, at the Contractor’s choice, by prepayment or on invoice. Invoices are payable within 14 days without deduction. Unplanned public charges such as customs duties or import taxes are borne by the Customer and may be requested in advance. The Contractor is not liable for delays caused by late payment of such charges.
- With prepayment, fixed dates apply only if payment is received at least 24 hours, or for cross-border transport with possible customs clearance at least 48 hours, before pick-up. This also applies to customs costs.
- Delivery is made to the named consignee against signature. For consumers, delivery may also be made to a person who appears entitled to accept it (e.g. household members, persons authorised in writing, immediate neighbours); the Customer will be informed of the time and place of a delivery to a neighbour. Business customers must name an authorised recipient; otherwise the shipment is returned to the sender (§ 3 no. 8).
- If the Customer hands over the shipment with load carriers (e.g. pallets, mesh boxes), there is no obligation to exchange or return them unless separately agreed and paid for.
06
§ 5 Assignment, retention and set-off
Claims of the Customer against the Contractor may only be assigned to third parties with the Contractor’s prior written consent. The Customer may only set off against or withhold payment of the Contractor’s claims with undisputed, due or legally established claims. The Contractor has a lien and right of retention over goods in its possession for all claims arising from the contract.
07
§ 6 Special rules for removal goods
- These terms apply accordingly to removal goods unless otherwise provided below.
- Loading, unloading and securing the removal goods for transport are carried out solely by the Customer; the Contractor handles loading in a manner safe for operation of the vehicle. There is no entitlement to carry passengers.
- We offer and recommend special insurance for removal goods.
- The price includes a total waiting time of no more than 3 hours for loading and unloading. Beyond that, we charge per hour or part thereof EUR 30.00 for vans and small trucks and EUR 60.00 for large trucks.
08
§ 7 Liability
The Contractor is liable in accordance with mandatory statutory provisions, for cross-border road transport under the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR), and otherwise under the applicable national freight law. Liability for damage to goods is limited to 8.33 Special Drawing Rights per kilogram of gross weight unless mandatory law provides otherwise. These limitations do not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence or injury to life, body or health. We take out cargo insurance only on express instruction and for a separate fee.
Visible damage must be noted on the delivery note or CMR consignment note on delivery; non-visible damage must be reported in text form to dispatch@yourdomain.eu within 7 days of delivery.
09
§ 8 Final provisions
- The law of the Republic of Poland applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory provisions of the CMR and mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country in which a consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.
- The place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes with businesses and legal entities under public law is Kraków (Poland).
- Should any provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by a provision that comes closest to its economic purpose; the same applies to gaps in the contract.
- We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
