    • Time for delivery specified on the order, if any, is an estimate only and time shall not be of the essence.

      • Goods are at your risk the moment they are picked up by

        you or your Carrier;

        premises, including damage to property of any sort, belonging

        to any person.

      • indirect or consequential loss; or
