Terms & Conditions

Kos2KosTransport (also known as K2KT) is licensed by the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) and/or other government agencies as required by law. Kos2KosTransport reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse any shipment at any time. The enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee agrees to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS which no agent or employee of the parties may alter. These TERMS AND CONDITIONS shall apply to all shipments scheduled by Customer, unless and until these TERMS AND CONDITIONS are altered or amended by Kos2KosTransport. Customer also agrees to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS on behalf of any third party with an interest in the freight.

Kos2KosTransport.com (also known as K2KT.com), is a free service that simplifies shipping freight whether your shipping a full truckload, or less than truckload. The website provides a comparison of numerous freight carriers and allows for automatic transport via ground once you book your shipment. The website automates these routes and the client or his representative, agent or employee chooses their best option for shipping their particular goods based on their own judgment and evaluation of the various options presented to them by Kos2KosTransport.

The Client/user of Kos2KosTransport understands that Kos2KosTransport.com is not the Carrier, nor are we an agent of the Carrier, and the charges, liabilities and risks associated with shipping are borne mutually by the Client and the Carrier. The freight charges which are charged on a load are basis are things that alters the Carrier’s tariff. At the end of the day, the Carrier’s tariff is the governing authority and contract so all disputes must be resolved by the Client directly with the Carrier.

If Carrier revises the charges on a particular shipment due to the Client shipping a different class or weight than was quoted, or for any other reason and there are many and it is the obligation of the Client to know such matters, the Carrier’s tariff rules and the Client must pay all revised charges in full to Kos2KosTransport.

If Carrier revises the charges on a shipment due to extra services or costs being provided in order to make the delivery, the Carrier’s tariff rules and the Client must pay all revised charges in full and waives all rights to dispute said payment with Kos2KosTransport; Client’s only redress is to the Carrier.

All tariffs, set forth by the Carriers, in every instance will take precedence in all legal proceedings and when applicable, will take precedence over Kos2KosTransport TERMS AND CONDITIONS stated here. If not in conflict with the Carrier's tariff, then the Kos2KosTransport TERMS AND CONDITIONS as stated here will take precedence. Where a Customer enters into a separate contractual agreement with Kos2KosTransport, any conflicting terms in that agreement will take precedence over these TERMS and CONDITIONS.

The Client/user of Kos2KosTransport fully insures that they will not hold Kos2KosTransport.com, its employees, and related companies of all liability associated with any shipments it moves through its website or directly with Kos2KosTransport. The Client cannot hold Kos2KosTransport responsible for negligence of the Carrier, the shipper, the receiver, or the Client’s own negligence. The Client alone is responsible for ensuring the proper and extremely rigorous packing of his freight to avoid damage to it and other freight, and all such damage, loss or casualty claims the Client must lodge with the Carrier directly who is possibly responsible, to the extent determined by his tariff, to pay or not pay such claim, in part or on whole.

The Client/user of Kos2KosTransport cannot hold Kos2KosTransport responsible for the bankruptcy of a Carrier or a Carrier’s insurance company or the Carrier’s rejection or non-processing of its Claim on a shipment. Client cannot hold Kos2KosTransport responsible for freight damage or loss or direct or indirect liabilities arising out of the shipping. Client must file any and all rate, damage, loss, casualty, overcharge, mischarge, or other type of claims directly with Carrier, and Client must dispute any/all claims directly with the Carrier, and result of any such claim’s outcomes can never be a deduction from monies owed to Kos2KosTransport – Kos2KosTransport is not liable and Client may seek legal judgments or redress ONLY by suing the Carrier directly, Client explicitly waives all claims against Kos2KosTransport and agrees all claims will be pursued only against the Carrier directly.

Client also agrees to pay Kos2KosTransport for all outstanding charges, and waives right to dispute charges with credit card companies or banks, that Kos2KosTransport must pass on from the Carrier in the cases of revised charges due to weight, class, extra services, and other reasons for revised charges. Client must pay the charges and then file an overcharge claim or dispute with the Carrier who moved the freight. Again, Kos2KosTransport is just a conduit for the Client to various Carriers; the Client assumes all and every risk associated with the shipment and holds Kos2KosTransport harmless from any and all disputes over service, price, shipping and shipping charges associated with any and all shipments they run through Kos2KosTransport. All freight charges must be paid to Kos2KosTransport before any claim can be made. A claim on a shipment does not in any way relieve Client of responsibility to pay for the shipment within terms. Any non-paying Client forfeits the Less Than Truckload discount of 50% to 80% and the Client may have to pay the charges which can be a multiple of the quoted charge. At the very least the client will owe an additional 2.5% per month or maximum legal for any unpaid charges. Kos2KosTransport has the right to charge the credit card of the client for these charge and Client has the obligation to pay Kos2KosTransport, and then the option of disputing or filing a claim with the Carrier to attempt to obtain redress, again, Kos2KosTransport is not liable. In any and all cases, if a Court throws out any of above “hold harmless clauses”, Client agrees that Kos2KosTransport’s Liability is limited to the lower of its gross profit on the shipment or $50 per shipment and/or $250 for all shipments with Claims from any one Client. Any claim, dispute or litigation relating to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS, any shipment scheduled or tendered hereunder or through Kos2KosTransport.com, or relating to any and all disputes between Kos2KosTransport and the enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee and/or Brokers for any enrolled Customer, Shipper and/or Consignee, shall be filed in at the Monmouth Vicinage Courthouse of Monmouth County, New Jersey.
