It sets out Pickup&#8217;s compensation caps, claim deadlines, evidence requirements, exclusions and process in respect of lost, damaged, delayed or otherwise affected shipments.

Where any provision of this Policy conflicts with the Terms &amp; Conditions, <strong>the lower compensation cap and the stricter limitation<\/strong> prevails.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"15px\",\"lineHeight\":\"1.8\"},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#1A1A1A\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\"><strong>Important notice:<\/strong> Pickup is not a carrier and does not automatically provide any transport insurance.

Where the Carrier pays nothing or only part, Pickup pays on only the amount actually received (after administrative processing fees) to the Customer, and has no independent payment obligation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">1.3 Default compensation does not include original freight, Surcharges, duties, destination-country taxes, insurance premium, return cost, loss of work time or any other direct or indirect loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">1.4 Compensation is computed on the <strong>manufacturing cost or original purchase price, whichever is lower<\/strong>, not on market price, retail price, list price or sentimental value. The Customer must provide objective evidence such as purchase invoices, bank records and production vouchers; where objective evidence is missing, Pickup may unilaterally value at 30% of the customs-declared value, or refuse the claim.<\/p>\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2,\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"26px\",\"fontWeight\":\"700\"},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#C96A1C\"},\"spacing\":{\"margin\":{\"top\":\"40px\",\"bottom\":\"12px\"}}}} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#C96A1C;font-size:26px;font-weight:700;margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:12px\">2.

Additional insurance is underwritten or distributed by Pickup or its insurer partners. The sum insured, premium, coverage, exclusions and deductible are as set out in the policy terms or insurance certificate displayed at booking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.2 Additional insurance rates are generally <strong>1.5%\u20135%<\/strong> of declared value (minimum AUD 10). High-risk categories, high-risk destinations and special items are individually priced. Premiums are non-refundable once paid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.3 For Waybills with additional insurance, compensation follows the policy terms. The following will still be declined even if insured: the exclusions in clause 5; inflated declared values; Customer breach of packaging requirements; Customer failure to submit complete evidence within the deadline; Carrier findings of Customer fault.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.4 Additional-insurance settlements are coordinated by Pickup, with the actual payout determined by the insurer.

Where the Carrier pays nothing or only part, Pickup pays on only the amount actually received (after administrative processing fees) to the Customer, and has no independent payment obligation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">1.3 Default compensation does not include original freight, Surcharges, duties, destination-country taxes, insurance premium, return cost, loss of work time or any other direct or indirect loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">1.4 Compensation is computed on the <strong>manufacturing cost or original purchase price, whichever is lower<\/strong>, not on market price, retail price, list price or sentimental value. The Customer must provide objective evidence such as purchase invoices, bank records and production vouchers; where objective evidence is missing, Pickup may unilaterally value at 30% of the customs-declared value, or refuse the claim.<\/p>\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2,\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"26px\",\"fontWeight\":\"700\"},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#C96A1C\"},\"spacing\":{\"margin\":{\"top\":\"40px\",\"bottom\":\"12px\"}}}} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#C96A1C;font-size:26px;font-weight:700;margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:12px\">2.

Additional insurance is underwritten or distributed by Pickup or its insurer partners. The sum insured, premium, coverage, exclusions and deductible are as set out in the policy terms or insurance certificate displayed at booking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.2 Additional insurance rates are generally <strong>1.5%\u20135%<\/strong> of declared value (minimum AUD 10). High-risk categories, high-risk destinations and special items are individually priced. Premiums are non-refundable once paid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.3 For Waybills with additional insurance, compensation follows the policy terms. The following will still be declined even if insured: the exclusions in clause 5; inflated declared values; Customer breach of packaging requirements; Customer failure to submit complete evidence within the deadline; Carrier findings of Customer fault.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.4 Additional-insurance settlements are coordinated by Pickup, with the actual payout determined by the insurer.

Where the Carrier pays nothing or only part, Pickup pays on only the amount actually received (after administrative processing fees) to the Customer, and has no independent payment obligation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">1.3 Default compensation does not include original freight, Surcharges, duties, destination-country taxes, insurance premium, return cost, loss of work time or any other direct or indirect loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">1.4 Compensation is computed on the <strong>manufacturing cost or original purchase price, whichever is lower<\/strong>, not on market price, retail price, list price or sentimental value. The Customer must provide objective evidence such as purchase invoices, bank records and production vouchers; where objective evidence is missing, Pickup may unilaterally value at 30% of the customs-declared value, or refuse the claim.<\/p>\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2,\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"26px\",\"fontWeight\":\"700\"},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#C96A1C\"},\"spacing\":{\"margin\":{\"top\":\"40px\",\"bottom\":\"12px\"}}}} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#C96A1C;font-size:26px;font-weight:700;margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:12px\">2.

Additional insurance is underwritten or distributed by Pickup or its insurer partners. The sum insured, premium, coverage, exclusions and deductible are as set out in the policy terms or insurance certificate displayed at booking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.2 Additional insurance rates are generally <strong>1.5%\u20135%<\/strong> of declared value (minimum AUD 10). High-risk categories, high-risk destinations and special items are individually priced. Premiums are non-refundable once paid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.3 For Waybills with additional insurance, compensation follows the policy terms. The following will still be declined even if insured: the exclusions in clause 5; inflated declared values; Customer breach of packaging requirements; Customer failure to submit complete evidence within the deadline; Carrier findings of Customer fault.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#1A1A1A;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">2.4 Additional-insurance settlements are coordinated by Pickup, with the actual payout determined by the insurer.
