Common use of Handling Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Handling Guidelines. SUPPLIER shall provide a storage area for all units of the Product. This area will be designed to prevent unauthorized access as well as protect the Product from damage, loss and theft. Product sealed in shipping boxes shall not be re-opened unless an inspection is necessary to determine the adequacy of packing; or the existence and/or extent of damage; or the accuracy of the description of contents; or the acceptability of the shipment for transportation in accordance with SUPPLIER tariffs. SUPPLIER shall avoid exposing BUYER product or materials to conditions that may cause damage. SUPPLIER must implement procedures for communicating incidents of damaged or loss of Product and/or materials to BUYER within 24 hours of each occurrence and a plan of action for preventing re-occurrence in the future. SUPPLIER shall not pre-load Product into trailers or vehicles intended for later collection or shipment without the prior written authorization of BUYER. If BUYER authorizes Product or materials to be stored in trailers parked within a facility’s truck yard, trailers must be sufficiently and adequately secured. Examples of security precautions to be taken for such freight include, without limitation: Pin locks, Padlocks on container or trailer doors, Numbered, logged, and inspected seals, containers or trailers backed up against each other or against a structure so that the unit’s cargo doors cannot be opened.
