-=== Assembled Containers and Ships ===+=== Contact === 
 +For general questions, ask in #hauling on Slack.
  
-**DO NOT INCLUDE ASSEMBLED CONTAINERS OR SHIPS IN YOUR CONTRACTS**.  Thanks to CCPdoing so requires our haulers to fly their contracting character to both endpoints to manually trade the courier contract to their hauler, something that at the very least takes a lot of time, and in some cases may be impossible.+For questions or concerns about a specific contractcontact Arian Felou on Slack (unless you know the Slack info for the person who accepted your contract).
  
-Because this is such a pain, and because people do it way more often than they should given the big red letters on the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]], and because we frequently end up having to spend time arguing with people about this, we are now charging a 50,000,000 ISK penalty for wasting everyones time.  The BRAVE Freight contractor will fail the contract, which will deposit the collateral into your account.  They will then item exchange contract the courier contract contents back to you for the collateral + 50m ISK. You MUST accept this contract if you'd like to continue using the BRAVE Freight service.   +=== Collateral ===
  
-Once you've accepted the item exchange contract, you can re-create your courier contract WITHOUT the assembled containers or ships.+Make sure that your collateral accurately reflects the value of your cargo. In addition to protecting you from losses and theft, this helps JF pilots estimate how much risk they are taking. BPC value needs to be found separately, //if// the BPCs have value.
  
-=== Collateralizing Contracts ===+Collateral over 3 billion isk **in highsec** is charged as either 10 million or 20 million isk for each additional 3 billion after the first - e.g. 1x for 3-6b, 2x for 6-9b, etc. Package volumes that are small enough to fit into a DST use the lower fee of 10 million per additional 3b. This is meant as a discount for putting high-value cargo into smaller packages for safety.
  
-Correctly collateralizing your contracts protects the contents from being stolen and lets the hauler know how much risk they are taking on in accepting the contract.  If a contract is not deliveredyou will receive the collateral as compensation for your items.+<fc #87ceeb>For collateral over the maximum:</fc> treat this as if it were the maximum value on the calculator, but charge the full collateral on the in-game contract. If it's going into highsectry to keep this in blockade runner sized or smaller.
  
-Collateral MUST be set to at least the Jita Sell [[http://evepraisal.com|Evepraisal]] value of the contents, and it's suggested that you add 5-10% on top of that value to account for changes in value.   +</col><col md="1"></col><col md="5">
-You MUST include an [[http://evepraisal.com|Evepraisal]] link for the items in your courier contract description.  For items that aren't correctly valued by [[http://evepraisal.com|Evepraisal]], such as extremely rare items or researched BPO/BPC, you should do research in public contracts to try to correctly value them. +

-</col> +==== Service Area ====
-<col md="6"> +
-==== Fees ===+
-Use the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]] to calculate the correct reward. +
-<well> +
-=== Formula === +
-BRAVE Freight uses the below formula to calculate the hauling fee.  This formula attempts to capture the haulers costs/risk and reward them appropriately while remaining affordable for the average line member and providing a timely service.  If you are a regular high collateral importer, you should consider getting your own jump freighter and [[https://joinus.bravecollective.com/brave_freight|joining us]].+
  
-(Light Years for route shown in [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]] * 11,000,000) + (5,000,000 ISK per jump+ (15,000,000 for each non-hub endpoint)+The [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]] lists the available systems as defined below (so far!). Any Brave or Imperium citadel in a system is valid. <fc #ffff00>No neutral citadels</fc> except for the PushX mailbox in Keberz. You can also ask about having routes addedespecially to industrial parks.
  
-Two modifiers are then calculated, Volume and Collateral, and the above fee is multiplied by whichever modifier is higher 
  
-=== Volume Modifier ===+<well> 
 +=== High Security ===
  
-If both endpoints of the contract are hub systems, the volume modifier is calculated by dividing the contract volume by the Maximum Volume for a contract (320,000 m3).  For non-hub endpoints, the modifier is 1.  This potentially reduces the cost for shipping partial jump freighter loads between hub systems.+<fc #9acd32>Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy</fc> 
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 15m isk 
 +\\ - <fc #ffff00>**Set contract duration to 2 weeks**</fc>
  
-=== Collateral Modifier ===+<fc #9acd32>Keberz - a BRAVE citadel or the PushX Mailbox</fc> 
 +\\ //:!: <fc #ffa500>Alert:</fc> Edencom Fortress system// 
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 150m isk
  
-The collateral modifier is calculated by dividing the contract collateral by the Recommended Maximum Collateral for a contract (6,000,000,000 ISK).  This potentially reduces the cost for shipping partial jump freighter loads between hub systems.  If the contract collateral is higher than the Recommended Maximum Collateral, it increase the fee linearly to account for the additional collateral risk to the hauler.+<fc #9acd32>Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant</fc> 
 +\\ - Maximum export volume of 130,000m³
  
-Hubs, Max Volume and the Recommended Max Collateral are defined on the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]]+=== Lowsec ===
  
-=== A Note on Calculator Max Values ===+<fc #ffa500>Irmalin - VIII-3 station</fc> 
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 150m isk
  
-Our Maximum Volume is chosen based on the lowest common denominator of available volume in the jump freighters our pilots fly.  This ensures any of our pilots can haul any contract.  **DO NOT GO ABOVE THE MAX VOLUME UNLESS YOU'VE SPOKEN WITH THE HAULER THAT WILL BE HAULING YOUR CONTRACT PRIOR TO CREATING IT**.+<fc #ffa500>Gehi IX - Moon 4 station</fc> 
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 150m isk
  
-Our Recommended Max Collateral is not a hard limit!  BRAVE Freight haulers are expected to keep the Recommended Max Collateral ISK liquid, ensuring any of our pilots can haul any contract.  You can put higher collateral on the contract, but it will cost you more, as per the above formula, and fewer pilots will be able to haul it, so it may take longer.+=== Tenerifis ===
  
-=== Penalty Fees ===+<fc #87ceeb>UALX-3 - Mothership Bellicose</fc> - Brave-owned Keepstar
