3. RATES & FEES

The total fees as described in the corresponding quote(s) for each particular conveyance of goods covers the expenses only so far as all of the cargo information provided by the Client is true. All quotes automatically expire after 48 hours. Any quotes that have been sent to the Client by Patriot Shield for a conveyance within the next 48 hours of the intended departure time will expire 8 hours from being sent. All paperwork outlined in our Client On-boarding Procedures, attached as Exhibit A, must be submitted by the Client no later than 7:00pm the evening before, or the run will not commence the following day. If, for any reason the Client provides inaccurate information to the extent that it requires Patriot Shield to provide additional conveyances and/or vehicles, the Client agrees to pay for it, in full, at a rate that is commensurate with the rate on the original quote. The value of each shipping vehicle must remain below two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) USD. In the event transportation is delayed in notice (less than 96 hrs notice), delayed, or altered, for any reason other than actions caused by Patriot Shield or its subcontractors, and to the extent the delays or alterations cause additional expenses to Patriot Shield from either its subcontractors or its own employees / equipment, those fees will be passed along to the Client and include, but are not limited to, expenses from payroll, hotels, gas, rescheduling fees, unloading/loading fees, etc. In addition, any delays or alterations that require more than the quoted total number of conveyances needed based on the information provided by the Client in Exhibit A of the corresponding individual delivery request forms, the Client may be charged up to an additional one hundred percent (100%) of the originally quoted amount per delivery for each additional conveyance required to perform the obligations of the contract. If the Client requests Patriot Shield’s Secure Storage services, or If the Client is unable to receive the product within 24 hours of the originally scheduled delivery, the Client agrees that Patriot Shield will store the product at their secured facility or will make adequate arrangements for which the Client will reimburse all expenses and pay an additional rate until received by the Client of:

  • $5.00 One time intake and processing fee per container

As specified in each individual quote for each conveyance, there is a standard deposit of fifty percent (50%) of the total bill due for each conveyance in order to initiate any transportation. The remaining amount will be due immediately upon completion of each conveyance. Patriot Shield agrees to provide all applicable insurances, surety bonds and/or licenses for their employees. Patriot Shield will also hold insurance policies covering cargo while in transit or in storage with Patriot Shield for up to two million dollars ($2,000,000.00).
