The online quotation is purely based on Customers input shipment details which are required to be reviewed when they appear on both the quotation, as well as on any subsequent final checkout page. If any deviation is noted between the details as reflected in the Quote or shipment page, and what is shipped, may result in a change to the shipment cost. There may also be additional government or port-related charges, beyond the control of the Service Providers for which Customers may be charged as applicable.

A Customer when books a shipment can view from the Quote provided by the Seller details of all charges that are included and charges that are not included in their quotation. There are optional services that can be availed and be added to the Quotes as needed like Customs brokerage and associated services, Cargo insurance, etc.)

Additional costs (Accessorial Charges) may also arise during the execution at origin port/airport, in-transit, reaching destination airport/port due to difference in weight, quantity, and/or dimensions, referral for regulatory approvals, storage due to delay in getting documents at origin and/or destination, actual costs on accessorial services requested, unsuccessful pickup/delivery attempts, etc.).

12. The validity period of the Quote.

LogisEye policy with every Seller has a clear understanding and as per the Master Services Agreement, every published Quote from different Sellers including the Customs broker that every Customer sees on the LogisEye Solution contains a validity date. Customer expected readiness of cargo date or the shipment is expected to gate-in or be consigned to the origin airport or port of departure. Most of the rates are updated with a validity date and are valid as applicable “at the time” of search based on shipment date and other search parameters.

The validity of the rates will be visible along with the Quote. Users cannot use the same quotation for multiple shipments as each shipment & applicable rate is linked to a unique quotation number. Sellers are obligated to honor their published Quotes if the cargo has been loaded or gated-in within the validity period as stated on the Quote.

If a shipment is not gated into the origin airport/port before the validity date, due to the goods not being ready, the shipment may be subject to a rate adjustment and Seller will ensure to report any such rate increases or changes to Buyer through LogisEye communication methods immediately of shipment departure so that Customers do have the opportunity to review and agree to the revised or the difference in charges online.

If Buyers wish to cancel the shipment because of a rate adjustment, they must do so at the time of notification of the adjustment. Failure to receive Buyer cancel notification or confirmation to cancel by Sellers via LogisEye omnichannel communication methods, then the Seller will be using their best judgment in deciding to hold, move, or cancel the shipment considering both the cost of the adjustment and the cost of delays. The Seller will own the responsibility to update the Buyer regarding the additional costs on the LogisEye Solution.

Cancellations cannot be done retroactively, and if you choose to cancel after cargo/shipment handed over to airport or port authorized handling agents then, Customers will be having to bear any costs and cancellation fees incurred until that point.

For more details, please refer to Pricing Policy.

13. Shipping through the LogisEye Solutions.

LogisEye eBidding/reverse auction Solution provides access to the Buyers to launch eBid/reverse auction for shipments from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world under different modes of transport and different cargo types.

As part of the process, customers are required to provide clear and correct cargo/commodity descriptions, and uploading your shipping documents (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, etc.) will help Sellers in quoting correctly and execute the shipment promptly. Please note that it is the User’s prime responsibility to provide an accurate description of the product, quantity, weight, number of packages, and correct shipping documents, failure to have these details and documents, Seller will not be obligated to execute the shipment and has the complete authorization either to refuse or to cancel the shipment and User will be responsible for any additional actual costs incurred. Any subsequent modification to the shipment or documentation once it has been verified & approved for execution and processing by Seller, the Buyer must communicate promptly to the respective Sellers and vice versa via the LogisEye Omni-channels communication methods such as LogisEye 3-way chat & chatbot.

14. Shipping Documents for Customs Brokerage and Regulatory Approvals.

It is the responsibility of the Buyer of the Shipment using LogisEye Solutions to communicate and agree with the Seller, customs brokers, shipper/consignee on various documents that are mandatory at the origin and/or destination for customs clearance or any other regulatory approvals. Buyer must send clear instruction in writing to Seller while Booking the shipment on such requirement of collecting original documents before shipping and sending same to the destination, wherever it is mandatory.

Additional documentation may be required for some of the cargo types like “dangerous cargo” and the Buyer is responsible to provide such documentation to the Seller.

15. Parties of the contract when Booked through LogisEye.

The customer once books a shipment through the LogisEye platform for freight and/or cargo insurance automatically agrees to a LogisEye Service with their chosen Seller. The contract is between Buyer and Seller. LogisEye acts like an aggregator or a facilitator arranging freight services between the two parties. The Seller will own full responsibility for the successful execution of Buyer’s shipment.

LogisEye is responsible for the collection of payment from Buyer for the Service Providers, however, LogisEye does not in any capacity becomes a party to the shipment execution.

LogisEye does not endorse any Sellers nor Sellers are affiliated entities of LogisEye but we limit our scope of work to make reviews for Sellers online so that the same can be used as a part of the information to compare service levels of Sellers. LogisEye hereby confirms that we do not direct, control, or dictate any of the Sellers or any execution of shipment booked by customers for freight services.

However, LogisEye facilitates complete omnichannel communication methods with Buyers and Sellers and is available to help wherever possible. LogisEye will be able to send pre-alerts, notifications, nomination alerts both on the platform using the LogisEye Omni-communications channels and by electronic email. Users must confirm that they have access to LogisEye emails and that they do not go into the spam folder. Every user must ensure to reply to any operational notifications or emails to keep communication on and that execution of shipment runs smooth and avoid delays or any additional costs.

16. Transit time is given in Quote.

Estimated delivery dates and transit times are not guaranteed. Transit times displayed on Quote as indicated by Seller are estimates only and provided in good faith only for Buyer information. Both LogisEye and Seller do not take ownership of transit time as both intend to offer a realistic transit time as well as update shipment tracking information based on the carrier’s website and sailing schedules that are made available as information ONLY through the platform, but due to the nature of the freight forwarding business and the industry, actuals may vary from estimates.

17. Choice of multiple carriers.

LogisEye obtains freight rates and is made available to Buyers from industry-leading international and domestic Sellers. If a specific service level (e.g., direct flight) is specified in the Quote, the Seller must execute this service as quoted. In the event, the Quote provided by any Seller does not specify the carrier name (shipping line, airline, etc.) or the route with a particular choice of carrier, it is up to the Service Providers to provide carriers details based on practical considerations to execute the shipment as smoothly as possible.

In the event the Seller is unable to get a booking on the selected carrier as per the Quote on the scheduled date, the Seller will advise alternate options to Buyer and the applicable difference in charges if any. Upon such notification, the Buyer can either modify the search or advise the Seller to initiate an Accessorial Charge request for approval and payment before the execution of the shipment. Where the Buyer is not agreeing to move the Shipment based on the recommended carrier from Seller, they can cancel the shipment with notification to the Seller through LogisEye Solution. Applicable charges will be refunded based on the LogisEye cancellation policy.

18. Offers and promotions in LogisEye Solutions.

LogisEye may offer promotions from time to time on subscription fees and or transaction fees. Since the agreements for freight, cargo insurance, and customs brokerage services are directly between Buyers and Sellers, LogisEye promotion is not included in the freight and/or cargo insurance rates. A promotion code will be made available to Users that stipulates the discount offered. Promotional offers may be subject to additional criteria rules, including minimum order amounts, the limitation for first-time Users, etc. One promotional code may be used per term per product subscribed, subject to the expiration date listed and any other applicable rules.

Please note that the Sellers’ offers, or promotions are not available to Buyers through the LogisEye platform.

19. Cargo Insurance in Quote.

In the event of physical loss or damage to cargo while in transit, the liability of the carrier is limited as per the applicable International Conventions, and LogisEye shall not be responsible for any such damage. There is no guarantee on the recovery of the full amount of the loss and damage from a carrier and your compensation may be marginally less than the commercial value of the goods or actual loss.

LogisEye recommends Buyers to ensure that goods are adequately covered by Cargo Insurance before shipping the goods and minimize their loss.

All Quotes on the LogisEye platform have the option to search and compare cargo insurance rates. The insurance policy included is a pre-negotiated, standardized cargo insurance policy with trusted, third-party insurance providers through our authorized Insurance Broker.

Comparable Cargo insurance rates (premium) will be provided in LogisEye Solutions for the Buyers to select from. Such rates are then added to the Quote and the shipment will be covered against loss and or damage as per the Policy document issued by the Insurance company.

Buyers can choose to opt-out and not include insurance in their quotation and arrange insurance coverage privately and will bear responsibility for any potential claims. If Buyer fails to cover insurance coverage for their Shipment, such Shipment will not be covered under Cargo Insurance. Sellers and carriers may settle any such claims on a case-to-case basis on applicable international conventions. Where Buyer Books a shipment and includes cargo insurance, the Cargo Insurance Provider will issue an online insurance certificate and will be sent same by email to Buyer and attach a copy with the shipping documents in LogisEye Solutions.

20. Customs clearance at the destination.

All international shipments require customs clearance. Many Buyers do not have pre-arrangement for customs clearance at destination nor have an existing relationship with a customs broker. LogisEye will support the Buyers in making their shipping experience smoother by providing the option to include customs clearance in their Quote. If the Buyers ticks the option for customs clearance, their quote will include the customs clearance, which will be performed by the selected and nominated Service Providers.

If Customers chooses to coordinate customs clearance independently and want to exclude customs clearance from LogisEye quote and opt-out from customs clearance, the Customer will be responsible for ensuring handling customs clearance directly and will cover all costs, including any additional costs arising from delays if cargo is not cleared from customs in time. If Customers choose to add customs clearance to their quote, they will be asked to fill in an Authorization letter or fill in a form for air and ocean shipments as provided by the Service Providers. The Authorization letter is a legal document granting the customs broker the authority to handle the customs clearance process for you. LogisEye is not a direct party to the customs clearance process and is nowhere involved in the process.

21. Different currency options for payment.

The Buyer before looking for quotes can decide which currency that they would like to have their Quote. A quote shall appear in AED, USD, or GBP, depending on several factors, most importantly is the Customer location. Rates may be submitted to LogisEye by the Service Provider in 3 different currencies of their choice and will be converted to USD or the local currency at the time of quoting.

In cases where there is a conversion rate, the conversion rate will be set at the prevailing prime rate at the time of the generation of the Quote.

Shipment Booking is a direct agreement between Buyer and Seller. In the normal course of the Shipment, the charges as per Quote and other Accessorial Charges are approved and paid or authorized for payment by Buyer.

LogisEye seeks to help both parties to have a mutually beneficial experience and provides a wireframe for Customers and Service Providers to resolve disputes amicably.

In the event any dispute cannot be resolved amicably between Buyer and Seller, parties can submit a LogisEye Dispute Form online with all necessary documentation substantiating your claim /dispute and Users can follow the Dispute Policy.

Once a dispute case is submitted you will be provided with the opportunity to support your claim with evidence documentation within a reasonable time as needed according to the nature of the dispute. The LogisEye Team will mark the disputed Shipment as disputed in the system, which will temporarily stop collection and payment on that amount until the dispute case is resolved.

In the case of any dispute on the customs duty amount charged by the Customs at the destination, that needs to be addressed directly through the broker at the destination.

The following process is to be followed once the dispute is raised by either of the party to LogisEye:

  • LogisEye team will review the specifics of the disputed amount, the evidence submitted by both parties, and the final decision will be review by the LogisEye team.
