BO 1st, the customer (orderer) of the transport is the company BOSPOKO s.r.o., the supplier is meant the carrier, which is listed in the header of the order. The carrier (supplier) undertakes by confirming the order that he has familiarized himself with the content of these general terms and conditions listed on the website www.bospoko.cz, that he agrees with them and accepts them without reservation. All interested parties further undertake to comply with the general business terms and conditions, as part of the Shipping Agreement, listed in this PDF and the terms and conditions of BO first through BO fifteenth as seen below.

BO 3rd, if the carrier arrives for loading earlier than agreed, he always requests confirmation from the customer as to whether he can load the shipment (e.g. whether all goods are ready, customs procedures completed, etc.), for non-compliance with this condition, the invoice may not be reimbursed, or the price will be reduced by additional costs for the resulting damage, at the same time, the customer also has the right to fine the carrier for non-compliance with the conditions.
BO 4th, the carrier must also report to the customer if the goods do not fit according to the agreed order (e.g. number of pieces, weight, dimensions, etc.) when at the loading place, the carrier must not leave the loading without confirmation from the customer, otherwise the carrier risks additional costs for non-compliance with the conditions, as seen in BO 3rd.
BO 5th, compliance with the loading and unloading deadlines as well as all the requirements specified in the order (vehicle arriving in time, loading time, delivery time, sufficient size of the transporting vehicle, agreed vehicle type, cancellation of the order, etc.), is a condition for paying the invoice. If non-compliance with the provisions specified in the order and conditions of transport or violating them happens, the carrier is obliged to compensate the customer for the damage and additional costs incurred (especially higher costs for replacement transport, costs associated with waiting for loading/unloading - i.e. labor costs, crane costs, manual unloading, delivery of non-complete goods, downtime, etc.), and the customer is also entitled to a contractual fine of CZK 5,000 excluding VAT for each individual breach of the carrier's obligations.
BO 6th, in case of non-compliance with deadlines of the loading and unloading without written notification to the ordering manager, a one-time fine of 10% of the agreed order price will be charged, min.

Confirmed transport documents must contain the date (time) of unloading, a stamp and the signature of the recipient (or the full name/company and other identifying information of the recipient in block letters instead of the stamp). If all the mentioned documents are not attached to the invoice, the invoice will not be paid. In case of delay of recieving the invoice with all documents (i.e. even in case of recieving incomplete documents), the carrier is obliged to pay the customer a contractual penalty of CZK 1,000 excluding VAT. The fine will be calculated by the issued invoice, which will be automatically deducted when paying the transport invoice.
