In the event the shipper desires the freight to be stored in a refrigerated warehouse prior to and subsequent to transportation carrier shall do so upon receipt of notice from the shipper or consignee if space in a public refrigerated warehouse is available.

F. If a Shipper or Consignee does not take delivery of the goods within 4 hours after carrier notifies Shipper or Consignee that the goods are available for receipt at the point of delivery, carrier’s liability thereafter shall be that of a warehouseman and carrier may devan the goods if stowed in a trailer or container and may store the goods in a warehouse all at the expense and risk of the goods. The goods shall be considered delivered and at their own risk and expense upon receipt by the afore-said warehouse.

G. Temperatures specified by the shipper as required in paragraph 1 above and all temperatures or temperature controls agreed to by the shipper will be subject to a variance of 5 degrees Farenheit (in either direction, up or down) from the one specified by the shipper.

H. The carrier will not accept shipments of chill produce when the required carrying temperature is below 38 degrees Farenheit; when Carrier does accept such shipments, it shall be at the cargo owner’s risk for all loss and damage caused by freeze damage, provided the carrier complies and establishes that the temperature was maintained within the 5 degree range from the requested carrying temperature.
