Perishable or Fragile Clause Samples

The 'Perishable or Fragile' clause defines special handling, liability, or shipping requirements for goods that are easily damaged or have a limited shelf life. It typically outlines the responsibilities of the parties regarding packaging, transport conditions (such as temperature control for perishables), and inspection upon delivery. This clause ensures that both parties understand and agree on the precautions necessary to protect sensitive items, thereby reducing disputes over damage or spoilage during transit.

Perishable or Fragile. The following are considered perishable items: fresh or frozen food, flowers, plants, and medications. THE CARRIER shall have limited liability for fragile, perishable and improperly packed items. Perishable items must be packed in containers with dry ice.
Perishable or Fragile. ITEMS (including electronic, musical, ornamental, artistic, photographic, recreational, sporting and mechanical items, items made of or bottled in glass, items made of paper and liquids) will be accepted if they are appropriately packaged in an original factory sealed carton, cardboard mailing tube or container or case designed for shipping such items or packed with protective internal material. However, fragile items may be accepted without the appropriate packaging upon the execution of a release of damage. (GLOBALX will supply a release which relieves GLOBALX of liability for damage or destruction of checked baggage of the type identified above, which results solely from the unsuitability of such items as checked baggage and/or inadequacy of their packaging and not from GLOBALX’s failure to exercise the ordinary standard of care.)
