General Terms & Conditions of Business

As of January 2026

Our contracts are governed by the Terms & Conditions of EUROGATE Intermodal GmbH.

We operate exclusively in accordance with the Allgemeine Deutsche Spediteurbedingungen 2017 (ADSp 2017) (German Freight Forwarders’ General Terms and Conditions 2017). Pursuant to clause 23 of ADSp 2017, liability for loss and damage of goods, which is limited under Section 431 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) to 8.33 Special Drawing Right per kilogram  (SDR/kg),  is  further  limited  to  the  higher  of Euro  1,25 Million  and  2 SDR/kg  per   claim   provided  that  all   claims  per  event  are  limited  to  the  higher  of Euro 2,5 Million  and  2  SDR/kg;   and   where   multimodal  transport  with sea carriage is involved to 2 SDR/kg.

Delivery times or fixed deadlines cannot be guaranteed. These assume unhindered conditions of carriage both on rail and road.

Liability on our part for any delays to delivery in the case of events which were not foreseeable or subject to influence by ourselves and for which we are not responsible, e.g. handling bottlenecks in the area of the seaports or inland terminals, is therefore excluded. Arrivals to deadline at the combined-transport handling terminals and at the seaports are based on the timetables issued by DB Netz AG.

Pick-up rights transferred to EUROGATE Intermodal by third parties via the “German Ports” digital platform can only be revoked by the party that originally transferred them. EUROGATE Intermodal is not permitted to revoke pick-up rights.

EUROGATE Intermodal is not subject to any legal obligation to retransfer and is also unable to affect such a retransfer due to technical and legal circumstances. This principle pertains to both active and passive retransfer measures.

EUROGATE Intermodal cannot be held responsible for damages resulting from the impossibility of retransferring or revoking collection rights. The exclusion of liability is not applicable in instances where the damage is attributable to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of EUROGATE Intermodal, its legal representatives, or executive employees. The responsibility for demonstrating the existence of an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty falls upon the claimant.

EUROGATE Intermodal reserves the right to pass on uncontrollable increases in costs, external surcharges and dues.

These factors shall include particularly, but not exclusively, changes to energy prices and amendments to statutory regulations at State or Federal level.

Surcharges and ancillary dues will be shown separately on our invoices.

You will find rates of carriage and ancillary dues listed in the EGIM Tariff currently valid here.

The place of fulfilment and place of jurisdiction shall be Hamburg.

German law shall apply.
