A contract of carriage is a contract between a carrier of goods or passengers and the consignor, consignee or passenger. Contracts of carriage typically define the rights, duties and liabilities of parties to the contract. They are usually evidenced by standard terms and conditions printed on the reverse of a ticket or carriage document.

Purchasing a ticket, filling out a waybill, or receipt of a Bill of lading usually constitutes acceptance of a contract of carriage.
