LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY — Sellexio, Inc.
Version 2026.01
This Limited Power of Attorney ("LPOA") is granted by the Principal identified on execution to Sellexio, Inc. ("Attorney-in-Fact"), solely for the purposes set out below. It is a limited, revocable authority. It confers no power over the Principal's bank accounts, corporate governance, tax filings or any matter outside the recovery of transport and terminal charges.
1. Scope of Authority
The Principal appoints Sellexio as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with authority to: (a) request, receive and inspect invoices, bills of lading, arrival notices, tariffs, rate agreements, gate records, terminal statements and any related documentation from ocean carriers, NVOCCs, airlines, terminals, depots, customs brokers, freight forwarders and inland carriers; (b) audit such documents for overcharge, misapplication of tariff, incorrect free time, duplicate billing, unpublished surcharges and currency or conversion error; (c) submit, prosecute, negotiate and pursue disputes, claims, refund requests and demands for the amounts identified; (d) correspond with, and file through, carrier and terminal dispute portals, including creating dispute references in the Principal's name; and (e) where the Principal separately authorises escalation in writing, file complaints or informal submissions with regulators including the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission.
2. Limits of Authority
Sellexio may NOT, under this LPOA: settle or compromise any claim below the Principal's written approval threshold; sign any release, waiver or settlement agreement on the Principal's behalf without prior written approval for that specific claim; incur legal fees or commence litigation or arbitration; alter, cancel or book transport; move, release or pledge cargo; access the Principal's bank accounts or payment credentials; or represent the Principal for any purpose beyond charge recovery. Recovered funds are paid by the carrier or terminal directly to the Principal unless the Principal instructs otherwise in writing.
3. Duration and Revocation
This LPOA takes effect on the date of execution and remains in force for twelve (12) months, renewing automatically for successive twelve-month periods unless revoked. The Principal may revoke it at any time by written notice to legal@sellexio.co. Revocation is effective on receipt but does not affect: (a) disputes already filed, which Sellexio may continue to conclude; or (b) fees already earned under Section 6.
4. Confidentiality and Data
All documents and data received under this LPOA are Confidential Information of the Principal and are handled under the Sellexio Mutual NDA and Data Processing Agreement. Documents are stored encrypted, access is restricted to assigned personnel, and no raw document, rate or shipper-identifying commercial term is disclosed, resold or used for model training. Anonymised, aggregated statistics may be used for industry benchmarks.
5. Principal's Warranties
The Principal warrants that: it is the cargo interest, consignee, shipper, or duly authorised agent entitled to dispute the charges concerned; the documents it supplies are genuine, complete and unaltered; and the signatory has authority to bind the Principal. The Principal will promptly notify Sellexio of any direct settlement, credit note or refund received from a counterparty on a claim Sellexio is handling.
6. Fees
Unless a separate Engagement Letter or Master Services Agreement states otherwise, Sellexio is compensated on a success-fee basis of twenty percent (20%) of amounts actually recovered, credited or waived as a result of its work, subject to a minimum fee of USD 160 per recovered claim. No recovery, no fee. Fees are invoiced on the Principal's receipt of the credit, refund or waiver and are payable within thirty (30) days. Where the Principal settles directly with a counterparty within ninety (90) days of Sellexio filing a dispute on that charge, the success fee remains payable on the settled amount.
7. Liability
Sellexio will act with the reasonable skill and care of a professional charge-audit provider. Sellexio is not a law firm, customs broker or licensed freight forwarder, and outputs are decision support, not legal advice. Sellexio's aggregate liability under this LPOA is limited to the fees it has received from the Principal in the twelve months preceding the claim. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss.
8. Governing Law
This LPOA is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, and disputes are resolved by binding arbitration under the AAA Commercial Rules seated in New York, NY. Where a carrier, terminal or regulator requires a locally-governed authority, the parties will execute a short-form Letter of Authority in the required jurisdiction; this LPOA governs the commercial relationship in all other respects.
9. Reliance by Third Parties
Carriers, terminals, depots and regulators may rely on a copy or electronic reproduction of this executed LPOA as if it were an original. It may be produced to any counterparty holding charges in dispute as evidence of Sellexio's authority to act.
