We reserve the right to amend or modify this Agreement in our sole discretion.

Such amendments or modifications will apply to any Purchased Services you procure subsequent to our amending or modifying this Agreement. 1. Services.

Payment terms and credit limits are subject to the sole and absolute discretion of PTI and may be increased, decreased, or wholly revoked at any time. You are solely responsible for the proper loading, blocking, bracing, and securement of freight subject to the Purchased Services, and we shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the improper loading, blocking, bracing or securement performed by you or on your behalf. You are responsible for any damage caused to our equipment, drivers or third-party property arising from your acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of your consignee, including, without limitation, improper loading/unloading, unsafe facilities, or inaccurate instructions. We may refuse to perform or suspend the performance of any Purchased Services if we determine that the freight, the loading, blocking, bracing or securement of the freight, or any facilities are deemed unsafe, in our sole discretion. Upon any such refusal, all charges incurred prior thereto remain payable. 2. Billing/Disputes. You agree not to initiate chargebacks relating to the Purchased Services and to resolve all disputes relating to same directly with us. Unless you dispute any charges for the Purchased Services within five (5) days of the invoice or charge date, all charges for the Purchased Services are deemed accepted by you.
