Luciano Shipping Inc. Terms and Conditions for a Courier
Air and Sea Waybill for Closing and Packaging Obligations:
All shipments are subject to weight and measurement verification by Luciano Shipping and you agree to all changes in weight with or without prior notice. Additionally, all cargo is based on volumetric standards or physical weight according to the packaging of cargo or a package, thus when the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, the dimensional weight is used to determine fixed or variable cargo according to the shipment method or destination.
Limitation of Liability:
Considering the transport expenses for the movement of any shipment, it is agreed that the liability of the company is limited to, in all cases, a sum of less than $100.00 USD or the actual value of the documents or shipment (if insured), unless a higher value is declared in the insurance coverage of the air waybill and the additional value is contracted and paid in advance. The actual value is determined when our company accepts the shipment and excludes any special value of the shipper or any other person. The actual value of the documents for exportation or the declared value will be the cost of replacing them. The actual value of packages will be the lowest cost between repairing or replacing the contents or their resale or the fair market value of the parcel. The Warsaw Convention may further limit our liability, as the additional insurance costs are 5% of the commercial value of the invoice and paid before the cargo is paid and shipped to the Dominican Republic.
Non-Assumption of Liabilities:
We will make every reasonable effort to deliver your shipment according to our regular delivery times, however, our company is not liable for delays in the delivery and damages of any kind (whether direct, indirect, incidental, special or resultant) including but not limited to the loss of income, loss of interest, loss of business opportunity, loss of content usage, breach of other contracts, or any loss or damages caused by the nature itself of the goods, whether or not we were aware that such damages could be incurred, even if the delay is our fault, in shipment collection, transport, or delivery. Our company is not liable for its acts or omissions, including but not limited to incorrect declarations or goods, inadequate or insufficient packaging and labeling or shipment address, or for acts or omissions by the shipper or the consignee or any other person involved in the shipment.
Likewise, our company is not liable if you or the consignee violate any of the terms of our agreement. Our company is not liable for the loss or damages of shipments of cash, coins, safety devices, or other prohibited items. Our company does not accept the shipment of cash, coins or other collateral, perishable products, precious metals or precious stones. Our company is not responsible for electrical or magnetic damages, or the deletion of electronic or photographic images or recordings. Likewise, our company is not liable for the loss of a shipment, damages of a shipment or delay caused by events that we cannot control, including but not limited to acts of God, “force majeure,” acts by another company or a contracted third party, or the act or omission of any government or public authority (including but not limited to customs, health officials or postal authorities), or the omission of any entity outside of our company.

Absence of Guarantees:

Luciano Shipping Inc. is exempt of all liability once its cargo is sent by any internal shipment company within the final destination country if such is the case and you authorize as such in writing via email, since this external company will cover any losses incurred with its insurance policy in the previous contracting by the client.

For others countries, the cost is in US dollars per the monthly directory. In the second month, the cargo cannot be claimed by the user since it will be taken as part of the payment for the expenses produced from reception and storage services.
User claims for delays, loss, or lack of delivery must be made in writing through our web site claims section within ten (10) days following the date of receipt at the Miami offices. After that time, no claim can be made. No claim will be considered until all transport costs have been paid.
