Please note: When you have selected the ATL option, if the tracking or Proof of Delivery (POD) shows your item has been delivered, your package is no longer covered for LOSS by the Parcel Protect Warranty.

Once an incident is notified, FH ALS will conduct a full investigation of the circumstances presented to us. An incident is defined as a “single event which gives rise to a claim which may or may not involve more than one consignment.” If we pay damages under this clause for the replacement of the Goods we may retain or recover the damaged Goods. We will only pay damages under this clause for lost goods or direct loss or damage to the goods. We will not pay any indirect or consequential loss or increased cost of work or materials or damage including loss of profits, business or anticipated savings or any other economic loss even if we know they are possible or otherwise foreseeable. The final payable amount is calculated based on the cost of the goods and:

a) If the Customer is an USA registered business making a warranty claim, then it must provide its ABN number and the Company will settle its claim exclusive of GST given that a GST registered business entity can claim an input tax concession as part of its normal GST administration.

b) If the Customer is an individual or non-GST registered entity making a warranty claim, then the Company will settle the claim inclusive of GST given that these parties cannot claim an input tax concession.
