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 of 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 responsibility
shall be subject to COGSA.

entitlement) the full benefit of, and right to, all
limitations of and exclusions from liability and all rights

where applicable any provisions or sections 4281 to 4287,
inclusive, of the Revised Statues 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, statue or regulation available to the Owner of the
vessel(s) on which the Goods are carried.

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, handling or any other 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 favorable than the terms in
this Bill if Lading

loss or damage occurred 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.

any legislation applying such Rules or the Hague-Visby
Rules (such as COGSA or COGWA) is not compulsorily
applicable, the carrier's liability shall not exceed
U.S.$2.00 per kilo of the Gross weight of the Goods lost,
damaged or in respect of which 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

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 loss or damage
occurred can be proved
   (i) the liability of the Carrier shall be determined by
the provisions contained in any international convention or
national law of the country 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 the 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.

liability shall be limited to the freight applicable
to the relevant stage of the transport.

below, be or become liable for any loss or damage to or in
connection with the Goods in an amount per package or

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

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 rate on the basis of such
declared value

packages or shipping units stated on the face of this Bill

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

unit or piece of cargo not shipped in a package, including
articles or 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 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
