    The carrier is relieved from this responsibility when the loss, damage, or delay is due to errors of the entitled party, at the latter’s instructions which were not a result of the carrier’s error, inherent defects of the goods, or circumstances that the carrier could not avoid and the consequences they could not overcome. To be released from liability, the carrier cannot cite defects of the vehicle used for transport or errors of the person from whom the vehicle was hired or its employees.

    It is considered, without the need for further evidence, that the goods are lost when they are not delivered within thirty days after the expiration of the agreed period or, if no such period is agreed, within sixty days after the goods were accepted for transport by the carrier.

    The carrier owes compensation for the total or partial loss of the goods, calculated based on their value at the place and time when they were accepted for transport. The value of the goods is determined according to the market price or, in the absence of such, by the usual value of goods of the same type and quality.

    Insurance Amount:

    According to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR):

    When the carrier owes compensation for total or partial loss, this compensation is calculated based on the value of the goods at the place and time when they were accepted for transport.

    The value of the goods is determined according to the market price or, in the absence of such, by the usual value of goods of the same type and quality.

    In all cases, the compensation cannot exceed 25 francs per kilogram of gross missing weight. The term “franc” refers to a gold franc weighing 10/31 grams at 0.900 fineness.

    Additionally, the transport cost, customs fees, and other transport-related expenses will be fully refunded in the case of total loss and proportionally for partial loss; no other compensation is due.

    According to the Road Transport Act, the compensation for total or partial loss of the goods is based on the damage but not more than 8.33 accounting units per kilogram of gross missing weight. In the case of total loss, the transport cost, customs fees, and other transport-related expenses are fully refunded, and for partial loss, they are refunded proportionally. No other compensation is due.

The insured is required to declare all routes performed during the month by the 10th of the following month.

    Subject and Object of the Insurance:

    The subject of the insurance is cargo during transport and the associated material interests during the transport, regardless of the type of transportation, for loss and/or damage that is a direct consequence of the risks agreed upon in the insurance policy.

    Covered Risks:

    Cargo insurance policies are standardized according to the original London Clauses, also known as the “Institute Cargo Clauses.” These are internationally accepted and are the same worldwide. The three types of clauses—“A,” “B,” and “C”—differ depending on the level of coverage. Clause “A” provides full coverage, Clause “B” offers limited coverage, and Clause “C” provides minimal coverage.

    Clause A

    Clause “A” 1.1.82 covers all possible risks of loss or damage to the insured cargo during transport, except for the risks of war, political unrest, strikes, riots, bankruptcy of the insured, currency fluctuations of goods on the stock market, deliberate action or inaction by the insured, as well as damage caused by insufficient or inadequate packaging or unsuitability of the vehicle. Covered risks include fire, explosion, road accidents, natural disasters, and theft, although in some countries, theft of the entire vehicle is excluded.

    Clause B

    Clause “B” 1.1.82 covers fire, natural disasters, earthquakes, water damage to the cargo, ingress of wet or river water into the hold or container, partial or total loss of a package of goods, though it is rarely purchased by insurers.

    Clause C

    Clause “C” 1.1.82 is specialized and only covers fire, explosion, road accidents, and total loss. It is typically used for bulk or liquid goods.

    The practice has led the Institute of London Underwriters to develop and approve Special Clauses applicable for specific risks and certain types of cargo.

    • Military risks – under the terms of the Institute’s Military Clauses (Cargo) – 1.1.09;
    • Strikes, riots, and civil commotion – under the terms of the Institute’s Strikes Clauses (Cargo) – 1.1.09;
    • Transshipment;
    • Damage occurring during loading and unloading operations;
    • Breakage due to the nature of the cargo for fragile goods;
    • Spoilage due to damage to refrigeration equipment for goods transported in refrigerated vehicles;
    • Other specific risks.
    Insurance Amount:

    The insurance amount is determined based on the invoice value. At the insured’s request, the invoice value may be increased by up to 10% to cover lost profit in case of a potential insurance event.

    Insurance Premium:

    The premium paid for the insurance depends on the type of coverage, the destination, the type of transport (rail, road, sea, combined, air), the value of the cargo, and its packaging method.

    Insurance Period:

    Typically, the insurance period is from the moment the cargo is loaded until its arrival at the final destination. For an additional premium, loading and unloading operations can also be insured.

    Subscription Insurance:

    The insurance coverage extends to all or certain types of cargo of the insured and is concluded for a specific period.

    Choosing the subscription form provides several advantages for the insured:

    • Simplified procedure for arranging insurance documents;
    • Pre-carrying of risk by the insurer;
    • Pre-negotiation of insurance terms;
    • Preferential rates with the possibility of applying discounts;
    • Convenient payment schemes for the insurance premium.
    Subject and Object of Insurance:

    The subject of the insurance includes construction and installation works carried out in both high-rise and low-rise construction, materials and equipment, installed systems and facilities, construction machinery, and mechanization, as well as expenses related to construction or clearing debris in the event of an insured incident.

The insurance also covers the civil liability of the investor or contractor towards third parties for damage to property and non-material harm.

    This insurance is intended for investors, entrepreneurs, contractors, and subcontractors involved in construction and installation activities.
