The shipping expenses should be paid to the transportation company at its origin, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in advanced. For shipments on a collect basis, the amount to be paid is to be determined at the point of origin. The party at the destination is responsible to collect said expenses and included in the total amount of quantity per conciliation. If the party at the destination chooses to give credit to the shipping agent, then this party assumes all the responsibility for the payment due or financial loss incurred as a result of nonpayment by the client. Additionally, it is agreed that under no circumstance will payment not be made, nor will short term monthly payments be not be reconciled.
Each
party will send, via courier, the monthly status of bills together
with copies of all the credits and debits for each item listed in
the monthly statement. This shall be received by the other party before
the 7th calendar day of the following month. The
amounts of the monthly against conciliation will be obtained by printing
the balances that each party owes to the other party. The party who
is net payable, after the printing, will initiate the payment to the
other party. The payment will be made in the currency of the receiving
party. For
contra settlement purposes, the parties will agree on an average exchange
rate to use before the settlement is finalized. This will be an average
of the weekly exchange rates in effect for the month being settled. All
payments will be made by the last day of the following month being
settled via bank wire transfer by the party in the net payable position. This settlement procedure is on a country basis. MFCH assumes no responsibility for settlements with any other members of its overseas network.

party agrees to actively exchange sales and marketing information
as it relates to traffic between the Agent of the Country and Chile. Each party agrees to provide the other with current NET/NET rates. Sales rates must always be shown on sales leads and routing orders.
MFCH
will credit the AGENT 50% of the profit on all air freight/sea freight
shipments from Chile to the agent's country. The
AGENT will credit MFCH 50% of the profit on all airfreight/sea freight
shipments from the agent's country to Chile. This
profit from an air freight/sea freight consolidation is defined as
follows: the total of all HAWB/House bill of lading gross freight
revenue less net MAWB/Master Bill of lading freight cost, taking in
to account all legal commissions, rebates and incentives. The
issuance of a profit split is the obligation of the origin party.
Credit notes for profit splits are to be issued no later than 30 days
after the date of shipment. Warehousing
and containerisation charges for export shipments are to be borne
by the party at origin. The
exception to the above would be in the case where the point of origin
on the HAWB/House Bill of lading is different from the point of origin
on the MAWB/ Master Bill of lading, otherwise known as "door-airport"
shipments. In those cases the transportation costs to the departure
point as per the MAWB/Master Bill of lading are to be applied at net
cost. If
the destination on the HAWB/House Bill of lading is beyond the destination
on the MAWB/Master Bill of lading, or an "airport-door"
shipment, those transportation costs to the final destination point
as per the HAWB/House Bill of lading are to be billed back by the
party at destination to the party at origin at 50% of the net cost. In the case of "door - door" shipments, transportation costs from origin to departure airport and from destination airport to final destination are to be handled as above. INSURANCE Each
party warrants it maintains valid, current freight forwarding liability
coverage for consolidation with either house airway bills or house
ocean bills of lading issued for shipments between agent's country
and Chile. Each party shall provide, upon request, the name and address of its liability insurance representative located in the other parties country.
This
agreement may be terminated by either party 45 days after receipt
of written notice sent via registered mail.
The agreement is governed by the laws applicable in Chile and in the place where the Agent works, prevailing the first ones.
