In the event the Client is using this feature at the time of availing Borzo Platform, Borzo India shall charge of the value-added service fee in the percentage stated by the software (or provided by a separate agreement with the Client) of the value of the Goods plus goods and services tax (which shall not exceed INR 50,000/-) as an optional fee for providing the limited contractual compensation in case of loss of damage solely and directly caused by the proven negligence or wilful misconduct of the GTA Operator at the time of delivery.

Borzo India shall be entitled to request additional information and documentation to verify the Declared Value of the Goods indicated by the Client with primary documents. Borzo India reserves the right to reject any claim that it reasonably determines to be fraudulent, exaggerated, unsupported, duplicated, misleading, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms. Taking into account the fact that when registering and authorizing an individual to act as a GTA Operator, the Borzo Platform in the course of its research activities shall analyze the completeness and reliability of the data provided by it in order to exclude its bad faith, and, if the Client indicates the Declared Value of the Goods, Borzo India undertakes to compensate the Client for the Declared Value of the lost or damaged parcel (in full or in part.

The Client shall notify Borzo India about the loss and/or damage of the Goods via its Account within a period not exceeding 48 hours from the moment the Goods was transferred to the Recipient or from the moment when the Delivery Request should have been executed by the GTA Operator. Borzo India shall not be liable where the loss or damage results from inadequate or defective packaging, inherent defects of the Goods, ordinary wear and tear, improper handling by the Client or Recipient, incorrect delivery instructions provided by the Client, delay beyond Borzo India’s reasonable control, acts or omissions of the Client or Recipient, governmental action, seizure, confiscation, or any other excluded event specified in these Terms.

Submission of the original purchase invoice or other satisfactory documentary evidence establishing ownership and value shall be mandatory. Borzo India may reject any claim where the Client fails to provide adequate documentary evidence, provides false, misleading, altered, fabricated or incomplete information, or otherwise fails to cooperate with the investigation. The Client agrees that in the absence of such photographs, bill, Borzo India’s obligations to compensate the Client for the Declared Value of the Goods (in full or in part) shall not arise. Subject to these terms including the limitation of liability set out hereinabove, Borzo India shall determine the amount of compensation acting reasonably based on the available evidence, the actual loss suffered, the lower of the Declared Value, the documented purchase price, replacement value, or depreciated market value of the Goods, and these Terms. If Borzo India compensates the Client for any Goods, Borzo India shall be entitled to recover, retain, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the damaged Goods or any salvage value arising therefrom. Acceptance of compensation by the Client shall constitute full and final settlement of all claims relating to the relevant Delivery Request, and the Client shall not pursue any further claim against Borzo India in relation to such Goods. In case of disagreement with the amount of compensation, the Client shall be entitled to conduct an independent examination at his/her own expense in order to determine the extent of damage.
