6. CARRIER'S RESPONSIBLILTY
(1) CLAUSE PARAMOUNT
(A) Subject to clause 13 below, this Bill of Lading insofar as it
  relates to sea carriage by any vessel whether named herein or not
  shall have effect subject to the Hague Rules or any legislation
  making such Rules of the Hague-Visby Rules compulsorily applicable
  (such as COGSA or COGWA) to this Bill of Lading and the provisions of
  the Hague Rules or ap-plicable legislation shall be deemed
  incorporated herein. The Hague Rules (or COGSA or COGWA if this Bill
  of Lading is subject to U.S. or Canadian law respectively) shall
  apply to the carriage of Goods by inland waterways and reference to
  carriage by sea in such Rules or legislation shall be deemed to
  include reference to inland waterways. If and to the extent that the
  provisions to the Harter Act of the United States of America 1893
  would otherwise be compulsorily applicable to regulate the Carrier's
  responsibility for the Goods during any period prior to loading on or
  after discharge from the vessel the Carrier's responsibility shall
  instead be determined by the provisions of 6 (3) below, but if such
  provisions are found to be invalid such responsiblity shall be
  subject to COGSA.
   
(B) The Carrier shall be entitled to (and nothing in this Bill of
  Lading shall operate to deprive or limit such entitlement) the full
  benefit of, and rights to, all limitations and exclusions of
  liability and all rights conferred or authorised by any applicable
  law, statute or regulation of any country (including, but not limited
  to, where applicable any provisions of sections 4281 to 4287,
  inclusive, of the Revised Statutes of the United States of America
  and amendments thereto and where applicable any provisions of the
  laws of the United States of America) and without prejudice to the
  generality of the foregoing also any law, statute or regulation
  available to the Owner of the vessel(s) on which the Goods are
  carried.
   
(2) PORT TO PORT SHIPMENT
The responsibility of the Carrier is limited to that part of the
Carriage from and during loading onto the vessel up to and during
discharge from the vessel and the Carrier shall not be liable for any
loss or damage whatsoever in respect of the Goods or for any other
matter arising during any other part of the Carriage even though
Charges for the whole Carriage have been charged by the Carrier. The
Merchant constitutes the Carrier as agent to enter into contracts on
behalf of the Merchant with others for transport, storage, hand-ling
or anyother services in respect of the Goods prior to loading and
subsequent to discharge of the Goods from the vessel without
responsibility for any act or omission whatsoever on the part of the
Carrier or others and the Carrier may as such agent enter into
contracts with others on any terms whatsoever including terms less
favourable than the terms in this Bill of Lading.
   
(3) COMBINED TRANSPORT
Save as is otherwise provided in this Bill of Lading, the Carrier
shall be liable for loss of or damage to the Goods occurring form the
time the Goods are into his charge until the time of delivery to the
extent set out below:
   
(A) Where the stage of Carriage where the loss or damage occurred
  cannot be .proved:
   
(I) The Carrier shall be entitled to rely upon all exclusions of
    liability under the Rules or legislation that would have applied
    under 6 (1) (A) above had the loss of damage oc-curred at sea or, if
    there was no carriage by sea, under the Hague Rules (or COGSA or
    COGWA if this Bill of Lading is subject to U.S. or Canadian law
    respectively).
   
(II) Where under (I) above, the Carrier is not liable in respect of
    some of the factors causing the loss or damage, he shall only be
    liable to the extent that those factors for which he is liable have
    contributed to the loss or damage.
   
(III) Subject to 6 (4) (C) below, where the Hague Rules or any
    legislation applying such Rules of the Hague-Visby Rules (such as
    COGSA or COGWA) is not compulsorily applicable, the Carrier's
    liability shall not exceed US $2.00 per kilo of the gross weight of
    the Goods lost, damaged or in respect of which the claim arises or
    the value of such Goods, whichever is the lesser.
   
(IV) The value of the Goods shall be determined according to the
    commodity exchange price at the place and time of delivery to the
    Merchant or at the place and time when they should have been so
    delivered or if there is no such price according to the current
    market price by reference to the normal value of Goods of the same
    kind and quality, at such place and time.
   
(B) Where the stage of Carriage where the loss or damage occurred can
  be proved:
   
(I) the liability of the Carrier shall be determined by the
    provisions contained in any inter-national convention or national law
    of the county which provisions:
   
(a) cannot be departed from by private contract to the detriment of
      the Merchant, and
   
(b) would have applied if the Merchant had made a separate and direct
      contract with Carrier in respect of the particular stage of Carriage
      where the loss or damage occurred and had received as evidence
      thereof any particular document which must be issued in order to make
      such international convention or national law applicable;
   
(II) with respect to the transportation in the United States of
    America or in Canada to the Port of Loading or from the Port of
    Discharge, the responsibility of the Carrier shall be to procure
    transportation by carriers (one or more) and such transportation
    shall be subject to the inland carriers' contracts or carriage and
    tariffs and any law compulsorily applicable. The Carrier guarantees
    the fulfillment of such inland carriers' obligati-ons under their
    contracts and tariffs;
   
(III) where neither (I) or (II) above apply, any liability of the
    Carrier shall be determined by 6 (3) (A) above.
   
(4) GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A) Delay, Consequential Loss
  Save as otherwise provided herein, the Carrier shall in no
  circumstances be liable for direct, indirect or consequential loss or
  damage caused by delay or anyother cause whatsoever and howsoever
  caused. Without prejudice to the foregoing, if the Carrier is found
  liable for delay, liability shall be limited to the freight
  applicable to the relevant stage of the transport.
   
(B) Package or Shipping Unit Limitation
  Where the Hague Rules or any legislation making such Rules
  compulsorily applicable (such as COGSA or COGWA) to this Bill of
  Lading apply, the Carrier shall not, unless a declared value has been
  noted in accordance with (C) below, be or become liable for any loss
  or damage to or in connection with the Goods in an amount per package
  or shipping unit in excess of the package or shipping unit limitation
  as laid down by such Rules or legis lation.  Such limitation amount
  according to COGSA is US $ 500 and according to COGWA is Can $ 500. 
  If no limitation amount is applicable under such Rules or
  legislation, the limitation shall be US $ 500.
   
(C) Ad Valorem: Declared Value of Package or Shipping Unit
  The Carrier's liability may be increased to a higher value by a
  declaration in writing of the value of the Goods by the shipper upon
  delivery to the Carrier of the Goods for shipment, such higher value
  being inserted on the front of this Bill of Lading in the space
  provided and, if required by the Carrier, extra freight paid.  In
  such case, if the actual value of the Goods shall exceed such
  declared value, the value shall nevertheless be deemed to be the
  declared value and the Carrier's liability, if any, shall not exceed
  the declared value and any partial loss or damage shall be adjusted
  pro rata on the basis of such declared value.
   
(D) Definition of Package or Shipping Unit
  Where a Container is used to consolidate Goods and such Container is
  stuffed by the Carrier, the number of packages or shipping units
  stated on the face of this Bill of Lading in the box provided shall
  be deemed the number of packages or shipping units for the purpose of
  any limit of liability per package or shipping unit provided in any
  international convention or national law relating to the carriage of
  Goods by sea.  Except as aforesaid the Container shall be considered
  the package or shipping unit.
   
  The words "shipping unit" shall mean each physical unit or piece of
  cargo not shipped in a package, including articles and things of any
  description whatsoever, except Goods shipped in bulk, and
  irrespective of the weight or measurement unit employed in
  calculating freight charges.  As to Goods shipped in bulk, the
  limitation applicable thereto shall be the limitation provided in
  such convention or law which may be applicable, and in no event shall
  anything herein be construed to be a waiver of limitation as to Goods
  shipped in bulk.
   
(E) Rust, etc.
  It is agreed that superficial rust, oxidation or any like condition
  due to moisture, is not a condition of damage but is inherent to the
  nature of the Goods and acknowledgement of receipt of the Goods in
  apparent good order and condition is not a representation that such
  conditions of rust, oxidation or the like did not exist on receipt.
     
(F) Notice of Loss or Damage
  The Carrier shall be deemed prima facie to have delivered the Goods
  as described in this Bill of Lading unless notice of loss of, or
  damage to, the Goods, indicating the general nature of such loss or
  damage, shall have been given in writing to the Carrier or to his
  representative at the place of delivery before or at the time of
  removal of the Goods into the custody of the person entitled to
  delivery thereof under this Bill of Lading or, if the loss or damage
  is not apparent, within three consecutive days thereafter.
   
(G) Time-bar
  The Carrier shall be discharged of all liability unless suit is
  brought in the proper forum and written notice thereof received by
  the Carrier within nine months after delivery of the Goods or the
  date when the Goods should have been delivered.  In the event that
  such time period shall be found contrary to any convention or law
  compulsorily applicable, the period prescribed by such convention or
  law shall then apply but in that circumstance only.
