A contract of carriage is a contract between a carrier of cargo or passengers and the consignor, consignee or passenger.[1][2] Contracts of carriage define the rights, duties and liabilities of parties to the contract, addressing topics such as acts of God and including clauses such as force majeure (removing liability for extraordinary occurrences beyond control of the parties). Among common carriers, the terms and conditions of the contract may be printed on the reverse of a ticket or carriage document.[3]
For cargo shipments, notification of a shipment’s arrival is usually sent to the "notify party", whose address appears on the shipping document.[4] This party is usually either the buyer or the importer.
