EXEMPTION. Every postal packet accepted for transmission under this Speedpost Service / Local CourierPost Service (as appropriate) shall be delivered subject to the provisions of the Post Office Ordinance, and the Regulations and Rules made thereunder. In particular, the Customer’s attention is drawn to the exemption from liability provided for in section 7 of the said Ordinance which reads as follows:
(1) The Government shall not incur any liability by reason of the loss, non-delivery, misdelivery or delay of any postal packet, or by reason of any damage to any postal packet, whether registered or not.
(2) No officer of the Post Office shall incur any liability by reason of such loss, non-delivery, misdelivery, delay or damage, except in the case of fraud or wilful misbehaviour. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed by the PMG and the Customer that the postal packet transmitted under the Speedpost Service / Local CourierPost Service (as appropriate) is not a registered item.
