HUNGARIAN GENERAL FORWARDING CONDITIONS (HGFC) Adopted text 29.05.2014 § 1. Territory of Application 1. These conditions must be applied to all contracts which come into being between principal as undertaking and forwarder as undertaking, and which will be qualified as forwarding according to Hungarian law. 2. In case the forwarder issues a combined freight document (MTO/CTO/NVOCC) or another document with similar content, the conditions of those documents come before the HGFC. 3. Is the subject of the contract money, security paper, precious metal, gems, weapon, antiquity, painting, hallucinogen material or other special valuable but not normal commercial good, these General Forwarding Conditions are to be applied in case of explicit written agreement of the contracting parties, only. § 2. Forwarding Contract 1. (Main commitment of the parties) In the forwarding contract the forwarder is obliged to conclude contracts for transportation of the consignment in his own name and in favour of the principal and to make legal declarations in this connection, the principal is obliged to pay fee. 2. (Forwarder’s offer, acceptance of the offer) Forwarder’s offer is valid only in case of immediate acceptance, except the case that the binding validity is stated in the offer. In this case – lack of differing agreement – the written acceptance of identical contents with the offer must arrive to the forwarder latest 17:00 hour on the final day of the deadline. On base of acceptance arriving after this time, no contract can be considered to have been concluded. No forwarding contract can be considered as concluded if forwarder does not make a written accepting statement on principal’s offer with identical content. 3. (Forwarder’s silence, abstention) Forwarder’s silence or abstention can be considered as a legal declaration in point of a concrete business, and on base of previous disposal of the parties, only. 1
