51. CONTRACT OF TRANSPORT FORWARDING

Forwarding contract - an agreement according to which one party (the forwarder) undertakes, for a fee and at the expense of the other party (the client-cargo owner), to perform or organize the performance of certain services related to the transportation of goods (Article 801 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

The forwarding contract is:

1) consensual;

2) real - in the case when the carrier itself acts as a forwarder;

3) paid;

4) mutual.

Parties to the contract

▪ freight forwarder and cargo owner client. Both entrepreneurs and citizens can act as clients under the contract; in the latter case, the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law apply to the relationship. Only an entrepreneur can be a forwarder (specialized forwarding firms, ports that consolidate small shipments into large consignments in the interests of transport organizations).

subject of a contract - services related to transportation (except for the transportation itself).

Form of contract - written. When accepting the cargo, the forwarder is obliged to issue a forwarding document (receipt) to the client.

Rights and obligations of the forwarder:

a) organization of cargo transportation by transport and along the route chosen by the forwarder or client;

b) is obliged to provide services in accordance with the terms of the contract;

c) is obliged to inform the client about the shortcomings of the information received, and if it is incomplete, request additional data from the client;

d) has the right to demand payment for services provided to the client.

Rights and obligations of the client:

a) is obligated to pay the forwarder remuneration under the contract;

b) has the right to give instructions to the forwarder regarding the implementation of the transport expedition;

c) the right of either party to refuse to fulfill the contract (the other party must be warned about this within a reasonable time).

Responsibility of the parties.

For non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of his obligations, the freight forwarder shall be liable on the grounds and in the amount determined by the general provisions on obligations.

The freight forwarder, unlike the carrier, bears increased liability, regardless of the presence of his fault, like any entrepreneur, and compensates for the losses incurred in full. If the forwarder proves that the breach of obligation was caused by the improper performance of the contracts of carriage, the forwarder's liability to the client shall be determined in accordance with the same rules under which the relevant carrier is liable to the forwarder. The freight forwarder is responsible regardless of his fault and in full for all losses of the client, when the non-safety of the cargo is associated with the actions or inaction of the freight forwarder himself.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Eternal data storage 10 TB 18.01.2024

Cerabyte, a startup from Germany, introduced a revolutionary device for reliable and long-term storage of information. This device, which is a square sheet of glass coated with a layer of nanoceramics, promises an almost unlimited service life.

Cerabyte is ushering in a new era in data storage with a unique technology solution that provides outstanding resistance to extreme conditions.

The data recording process is carried out using a cartridge that is engraved with QR code-like patterns using femtosecond laser pulses. These pulses create holes or gaps in the ceramic layer, creating a binary code (0 and 1).

Each line of characters is recorded as it moves forward, and then read and checked by the microscope camera as it moves backward. The entire data acquisition process is similar except for the use of a microscope camera to read the contents.

Cerabyte claims that data stored in this way is resistant to temperature extremes from minus 273 to plus 300 degrees Celsius, as well as to aggressive environments, radiation and electromagnetic influences. Overall, the device is designed to retain data even in the event of a nuclear explosion.
