SECTION 13

1- The carrier is required to deliver the goods to the consignee at the place designated for delivery, and to hand him a copy of the consignment note accompanying the goods, against a receipt. Delivery must be done at the agreed time or, failing an agreed time-limit, within the time-limit it would be reasonable to require a diligent carrier to deliver, having regard to the circumstances of the case. 2- After arrival of the goods at the place designated for delivery, the carrier is required to notify the consignee of the arrival of the goods and of the time-limit for collecting them, unless the goods are delivered at the residence or place of business of the consignee. 3- Before taking delivery of the goods, the consignee shall pay the charges shown to be due on the consignment note, but in the event of dispute on this matter the carrier shall not be required to deliver the goods unless security has been furnished by the consignee. 4- Without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the sender, the consignee through his express or tacit acceptance of the goods or the contract of carriage, acquires the rights arising from the contract of carriage and may avail himself of them in his own name against the carrier. However, the carrier shall not indemnify both the sender and the consignee in respect of the same loss or damage. Condition of the Goods and Delay in Delivery
