-<alert type="warning">Due to the current ganking environment it is recommended that contracts to or from highsec conform to one of the two following formats: +BLT. haulers try to finish contracts within ~8 hours of accepting; packages to and from Jita may take a little longer. This isn't always possible, however, depending on circumstances. If a contract is taking longer than expected, try reaching out first.

 +For general questions, ask in #hauling on Slack.
  
-==== Rules ==== +For questions or concerns about a specific contract, contact Arian Felou on Slack (unless you know the Slack info for the person who accepted your contract).
-Contracts which don't comply with these rules are subject to cancellation and possible penalty fees **READ CAREFULLY** +
-<well> +
-=== Source and Destination ===+
  
-Contracts MUST be from and to destinations described in the Service Area above.  Contracts to unserviced locations will be rejected.+=== Collateral ===
  
-=== Expiration and Days to complete ===+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.
  
-All contracts MUST be set to 1 week expiration and days to complete This is to ensure issues outside the haulers control don't cause the contracts to expire/fail.+Collateral over 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.
  
-If you need quicker serviceproviding a bonus in your reward will almost always cause contracts to move quicker Feel free to ask in #hauling, if someone will be making a trip in the near future+<fc #87ceeb>For collateral over the maximum:</fc> treat this as if it were the maximum value on the calculatorbut charge the full collateral on the in-game contractIf it's going into highsec, try to keep this in blockade runner sized or smaller.
  
-=== Assembled Containers and Ships ===+</col><col md="1"></col><col md="5">
  
-**DO NOT INCLUDE ASSEMBLED CONTAINERS OR SHIPS IN YOUR CONTRACTS**.  Thanks to CCP, doing 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.+==== Service Area ====
  
-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 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 can also ask about having routes added, especially to industrial parks.
  
-Once you've accepted the item exchange contract, you can re-create your courier contract WITHOUT the assembled containers or ships. 
  
-=== Collateralizing Contracts ===+<well> 
 +=== High Security ===
  
-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 delivered, you will receive the collateral as compensation for your items.+<fc #9acd32>Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy</fc>

-==== 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 importeryou should consider getting your own jump freighter and [[https://joinus.bravecollective.com/brave_freight|joining us]].+
  
-We use the distance between departure and arrival as the main variable to establish price. Two modifiers are calculated, Volume and Collateral, and the fee is then multiplied by whichever modifier is higher.+=== Lowsec ===
  
 +<fc #ffa500>Irmalin - VIII-3 station</fc>
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 150m isk
  
-''Reward = Distance in Light Years ✕ 10,000,000 X max(volume/320000, collateral/6000000000)''+<fc #ffa500>Gehi IX - Moon 4 station</fc> 
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 150m isk
  
 +=== Tenerifis ===
  
-=== Collateral Modifier ===+<fc #87ceeb>UALX-3 - Mothership Bellicose</fc> - Brave-owned Keepstar 
 +\\ //Current new staging, name will change//
  
-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.+=== Insmother ===
  
-Max Volume and the Recommended Max Collateral are defined on the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]]+<fc #87ceeb>C-J6MT - Ceci n'est pas une keeptar</fc> - Goons-owned Keepstar 
 +\\ //War-front staging// 
 +\\ - Minimum cost of 50m isk
  
-=== A Note on Calculator Max Values ===+</well>
  
-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**. 
  
-Our Recommended Max Collateral is not 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.+==== How to set up a contract ====
  
-=== Penalty Fees ===+You can make a contract by selecting the items in your hanger or in your asset window and right-clicking, or you can go to your Neocom / Business / Contracts to create a contract and check on the status of existing contracts.
