Establishing Credit & Credit Terms
The invoice date begins the credit term cycle, and payment is due within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Failure to keep your RUSH account current will result in your account being put on a “cash only” status. This status may impair your ability to use our service, and your shipments may be delayed. In the event prompt payment is not made and your account is placed on “cash only” basis, credit privileges will not be restored until you have paid all past-due balances of transportation and any related charges in full, including, but not limited to, all costs, fees and expenses incurred by RUSH in collecting or attempting to collect such balances. RUSH may decline to restore credit privileges even if all costs, fees and expenses are paid. In the event that suit is filed to collect unpaid charges, you agree to be liable for all reasonable costs which include, but are not limited to, attorneys fees of up to 25 or $200.00, whichever is greater, interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month, and court costs. Any return check received by RUSH must be replaced immediately with a certified check in addition to a $35.00 return fee, RUSH may decline to restore credit privileges for any return check instances.
Revised 6/1/2015
Application of Charges
Transportation charges for a shipment, unless otherwise noted on the Airfreight Waybill, will be based on whichever of the following is greater:
The actual weight AND mileage; or
The cubic dimensional weight AND mileage (calculated as outlined in “Dimensional Weight in these Service Conditions).
Charges will be assessed for transportation of shipment(s) from the named origin to the named destination as shown on the Airfreight Waybill and the rates in effect on the day the shipment is accepted by RUSH. Charges will be assessed for excess wait time, tolls incurred, fuel, overnight holding and holiday fees when applicable.
Unless specifically otherwise agreed to in writing, RUSH retains the right to re- weigh and/or measure, for the purpose of applying correct charges, any shipment(s) at any time while in RUSH‘S custody and control, and to collect the appropriate charges without first advising, reporting back to, pre-alerting, or otherwise notifying the Shipper, Consignee or other interested party.
If the Shipper elects to leave the weight un-stated on the Airfreight Waybill, RUSH will weigh and enter the shipment weight on the Airfreight Waybill for the Shipper. If the Shipper chooses to enter the weight and the weight reflected is found to have been understated, RUSH will correct the weight and charge for the accurate weight.
Revised 6/1/2015
Dimensional Weight
RUSH reserves the right to assess transportation charges based on volumetric standards. Dimensional weight determines the required vehicle size. Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying length by width by height of each package (all in inches) and dividing by 250. The dimensional weight of each package in the shipment is added, and the total dimensional weight of the shipment is then compared to the actual weight of the shipment. If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, transportation charges for the shipment are based on the dimensional weight if the actual dimensional weight requires a larger vehicle to be used all charges for both vehicles are the responsibility of the CONSIGNOR/SHIPPER.

Unless otherwise specified herein, liability on all domestic shipments shall be limited to the higher of $50.00 per shipment or $0.50 per pound of cargo lost or damaged plus transportation charges applicable to that part of the shipment lost or damaged, unless at the time of tender, the Shipper declares a higher value and signs in the space designated on the Airfreight Waybill.

Unless otherwise specified herein, liability for international shipments being transported as part of a continuous movement and moving on a lane segment specified on the MAWB shall be limited to $9.07 per pound of cargo lost or damaged plus transportation charges applicable to that part of the shipment lost or damaged, unless a higher value is declared a’ the time of tender.
