The carrier will ensure that the goods are received on time, within the agreed time window at the place of loading, and transported and delivered on time without loss or damage to the recipient at the place of destination.

In addition, in the event of a legitimate interest on the part of GS, the carrier is obliged, on request, to inform GS on a case-by-case basis which driver (full name and address) was used by GS or its subcontractor for a particular transport. GS has a legitimate interest in the event of, for example, complaints about inappropriate behaviour, violations of applicable regulations relating to the operation of activities under these GTC and violations of laws or criminal activities in connection with a specific transport.

b) the carrier does not inform GS of problems during transport, or 

c) the carrier breaches the obligations laid down in paragraph 2.9 

4.19. GS's right to compensation for any other damages remains unaffected at all times. 

5. Prices 

5.1. GS will pay the agreed price for the carriage performed. The agreed price does not include value added tax, which will be added at the statutory rate. 

5.2. Payment of the price for carriage is subject to the submission of a correctly issued confirmation of delivery (with the stamp and signature of the consignee) subject to the conditions in paragraph 2.11. 

5.3. Any claims by the Carrier in the event that GS cancels the Transportation Order are excluded. 

5.4. Any claims of the carrier for delay are excluded if the waiting period is not more than twenty-four hours for one loading/unloading and if the carrier does not reach the place of loading/unloading within the agreed time. Any claims by the carrier for demurrage are excluded unless the waiting period is confirmed in writing by the consignor or consignee. 

5.5. The parties agree that in the event of GS's delay in paying a duly and flawlessly issued invoice by more than 15 days, the carrier is entitled to charge GS a default interest of 0.02% for each commenced day of delay, provided that the first day for which it is entitled to charge default interest is the 16th day after the invoice is due and subject to prior written notice of such delay delivered to GS

5.6. After the end of the agreed billing period, which is 1 calendar month, the carrier will issue an invoice. The due date of invoices is 60 days from the date of delivery of a proper and faultless invoice with all the requisites of a tax document of GS, or an accounting document issued by a non-VAT payer. The carrier declares that it does not consider this maturity arrangement to be grossly unfair.

The carrier, which is a VAT payer, undertakes to state on the invoice such its bank details that will be to the domestic bank and that will be published by the tax office on the Internet at the time of issuing and maturity of the invoice, as required by Act No. No. 235/2004 Coll., on Value Added Tax, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "VAT Act"), so that GS would not be in the position of a guarantor for the payment of VAT on behalf of the carrier due to payment to an undisclosed or foreign bank account. 

5.8. If the carrier, which is a VAT payer, becomes an unreliable VAT payer within the meaning of Section 106a of the VAT Act by the due date of the invoice and GS thus finds itself in a position where, according to the VAT Act, it is liable for the payment of VAT by the carrier, the carrier is obliged to inform GS of this fact without delay. 

5.9. If GS is in a position where it is legally liable for the payment of VAT on behalf of the carrier, GS is entitled to pay the value of the invoice to the carrier only in the amount excluding VAT and pay the VAT to the account of the local tax office of the carrier and the carrier agrees to this procedure. Furthermore, in the event that the circumstances referred to above in this article occur, GS also has the right to suspend payment of the full amount of the obligation until the carrier informs it of its bank account number, which is maintained in a Czech bank and published by the tax office. In both cases, the obligation is deemed to have been fulfilled properly and on time and GS is not in default with payment. In this case, the carrier declares that in the event of a change in its locally competent tax office, it will inform GS of this fact without delay, otherwise the carrier will bear any costs arising from the fact that the VAT amount was not remitted to the relevant tax office in time. 

5.10. The Carrier is obliged to compensate v for any damage caused to it by non-compliance with the obligations set out above in this Article and, in addition, GS is entitled to withdraw from this contract. The withdrawal becomes effective on the day of its delivery to the carrier.

The Carrier shall not use or disclose such confidential information to any other person, firm or company outside the Carrier's group of companies and their respective professional advisers, except as necessary and in good faith in connection with its obligations under the Agreement; However, if any part of the Confidential Information is already generally known on the market or becomes generally known without breach of the confidentiality obligation, or if it must be disclosed by law or court order, then the above confidentiality obligations with respect to such part of the Confidential Information cease to apply. Notwithstanding the above, the Carrier agrees not to use the Confidential Information for its own commercial purposes except to perform its obligations under the Agreement. Such confidentiality obligations shall apply for a period of five years from the date on which the carrier receives the relevant confidential information, regardless of the termination or expiration of the contract. 

6.2. The Carrier shall not provide the same or similar services as those provided under the Agreement, either directly or indirectly, through third parties (with the exception of GS), to GS clients, for whom it provides services on behalf of GS and with whom the Carrier comes into contact as a result of the provision of services by the Carrier and GS's customers, already existing on the basis of:
