Core concepts
Concept 1
Binding contracts, transport-contract terms, rights, obligations, enforcement and lawful conditions of carriage.
Exam cue: Identify the parties, offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, legal purpose, agreed terms and incorporation evidence.
Concept 2

Exam cue: Identify the current jurisdiction, date and official source before relying on a threshold, permit, form or procedure.

Treating a quotation, booking instruction or standard form as a concluded and incorporated contract without checking the facts.

Memory anchors
Contract first pass
Parties, agreement, consideration, capacity, legality and intended legal effect.
Conditions of carriage
Identify the version, incorporation evidence, scope, rights and limits.
Negotiation check
A proposed term must be clear, lawful, communicated and accepted.
Contract evidence
Use quotations, orders, consignment records, notices and payment evidence.
Form is not enough
Possessing standard conditions does not prove they govern the movement.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
