CLC Projects Payment Rules Between Members:
- Members of CLC Projects Network have a duty to inform the management if they have payments unreasonably overdue from any CLC Projects member. Payments that are overdue by 60 days or more will automatically result in a notice on our website as well as a notice in our newsletter. We ask members to inform us TIMELY.
- CLC Projects does NOT have a payment insurance scheme.
- CLC Projects is a network only and does NOT take any responsibility for business entered into between members.
- CLC Projects will assist to push members to pay freights and charges due and will, after due deliberation, exclude any member found to be in breach of common standards with regards to payment, codes of conduct and proper ethics in business.
- CLC Projects will publish in its own newsletter, as well as in www.projectcargo-weekly.com, a list of delinquent payers or companies that have been found to be dishonest in their dealings. CLC Projects does its best to choose reliable and recommended members, but things can change rapidly in this business and companies that were once considered creditworthy and trustworthy can for whatever reason change overnight. In this eventuality, CLC Projects does not take any responsibility for the due diligence and the duty of freight collection and business interaction is ALWAYS a matter between the members themselves.
- We cannot be a judge and jury but we will do our best to support, push and name and shame defaulters and irresponsible members, as well as exclude them without delay.
Any member may be excluded in circumstances including (but not limited to) the following:
