Transport Conditions

We work exclusively on the basis of the German Freight Forwarders’ Standard Terms and Conditions 2017 (Allgemeine Deutsche Spediteurbedingungen 2017) - ADSp 2017

Note: The ADSp 2017 deviate from the law in clause 23 with regard to the maximum liability amount for damage to goods (§ 431 HGB) by limiting the liability to 2 SDR/Kg in the case of multimodal transports including carriage by sea and in the case of an unknown place of damage, and otherwise additionally limiting the standard liability of 8.33 SDR/kg to 1.25 million euros per claim and 2.5 million euros per loss event, but at least 2 SDR/kg.
