E-CPD Application Terms of use

Download the E-CPD Application Terms of use:

These terms of use (together with the documents referred to in these terms of use) sets out the terms and conditions on which an individual (“you”, “your”) may make use of the online application functionality of the  E-CPD portal  (the online application functionality of the E-CPD portal, including all related sub-domains, the “E-CPD System”) in order to apply for a Carnet de Passages en Douane (a “CPD”). These terms of use apply to your use of the E-CPD System only.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU START TO USE THE E-CPD SYSTEM. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OF USE CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT THAT YOU ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, WHICH ESTABLISHES A CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND US.

1 Background 

  1. The E-CPD System is an online system operated by Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile of 2 Chemin de Blandonnet, 1214 Vernier/Geneva, Switzerland (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”) for the ordering, distribution, printing, tracking and claims handling of CPD. 
  2. The E-CPD System allows us to collate the information required for your CPD application, and then to provide that information to the relevant organisation in the FIA/AIT CPD network (a “Relevant Organisation”) in order for that Relevant Organisation to process your CPD application. You acknowledge and agree that each Relevant Organisation is entitled to rely on the limitations of liability in paragraph 7 below.
  3. Subject to our specific obligations during the online application process (as set out in paragraph 2 below), you acknowledge and agree that the Relevant Organisation is solely responsible for processing and receiving payments in respect of your CPD application and responding to related queries from you.
  4. Nothing in these terms of use limits or restricts your ability to apply for a CPD independently of the E-CPD System.

 

2 The Online Application Process

  1. Once you have completed the CPD application form through the E-CPD System and (if you have elected to do so) uploaded the required supporting information through the E-CPD System, we will notify the Relevant Organisation.
  2. We will require you to send the application form together with any required supporting information which has not already been uploaded through the E-CPD System (together, the “Application Documents”) to the Relevant Organisation, by the method(s) that the Relevant Organisation has stipulated and in accordance with the Relevant Organisation’s instructions.
  3. The Relevant Organisation shall then be responsible for all matters related to your application, including processing your Application Documents, responding to your queries, receiving payment from you, varying/cancelling orders, refunds and issuing the CPD to you. 

 

3 Availability of the E-CPD System

We do not guarantee that the E-CPD System, or any content or other information on it (Content), will always be available or be uninterrupted.

We will not be liable to you if for any reason the E-CPD System is unavailable at any time or for any period or if your location is unavailable on the E-CPD System.
