Subject to the restrictions in Rule No. 7.01E, carrier may, at its option, issue Bills of Lading with a portion of total freight and charges prepaid, and the balance of the freight and charges collect in accordance with shipper's instructions. Carrier provides this procedure as a service and shall be held harmless in any disputes that may arise between shippers and consignees relative to the apportionment of freight and charges. The prepaid portion is subject to the provisions of Rule Nos. 7.01A and 7.01B. The collect portion is subject to the provisions of Rule No. 7.01C. The release of the Bill of Lading by the carrier, under its credit provisions or after payment of the prepaid portion of freight and charges due, does not obligate the carrier to deliver the cargo to the consignee until the collect portion has been paid.
