      8.3 This insurance shall remain in force (subject to termination as provided for in Clauses 8.1.1 to 8.1.4 above and to the provisions of Clause 9 below) during delay beyond the control of the Assured, any deviation, forced discharge, reshipment or transhipment and during any variation of the adventure arising from the exercise of a liberty granted to carriers under the contract of carriage.

      Constructive Total Loss
      13.

      5.
      5.1 This insurance
      5.1.1 attaches only as the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is loaded on an oversea vessel and
      5.1.2 terminates, subject to 5.2 and 5.3 below, either as the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is discharged from an oversea vessel at the final port or place of discharge, or on expiry of 15 days counting from midnight of the day of arrival of the vessel at the final port or place of discharge, whichever shall first occur; nevertheless, subject to prompt notice to the Insurers and to an additional premium,
      such insurance
      5.1.3 reattaches when, without having discharged the subject-matter insured at the final port or place of discharge, the vessel sails therefrom, and
      5.1.4 terminates, subject to 5.2 and 5.3 below, either as the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is thereafter discharged from the vessel at the final (or substituted) port or place of discharge, or on expiry of 15 days counting from midnight of the day of re-arrival of the vessel at the final port or place of discharge or arrival of the vessel at a substituted port or place of discharge, whichever shall first occur.
      5.2 If during the insured voyage the oversea vessel arrives at an intermediate port or place to discharge the subject-matter insured for on-carriage by oversea vessel or by aircraft, or the subject-matter insured is discharged from the vessel at a port or place of refuge, then, subject to 5.3 below and to an additional premium if required, this insurance continues until the expiry of 15 days counting from midnight of the day of arrival of the vessel at such port or place, but thereafter reattaches as the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is loaded on an on-carrying oversea vessel or aircraft. During the period of 15 days the insurance remains in force after discharge only whilst the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is at such port or place. If the subject-matter insured is on- carried within the said period of 15 days or if the insurance reattaches as provided in this Clause 5.2

      5.3 If the voyage in the contract of carriage is terminated at a port or place other than the destination agreed therein, such port or place shall be deemed the final port of discharge and this insurance terminates in accordance with 5.1.2. If the subject-matter insured is subsequently reshipped to the original or any other destination, then provided notice is given to the Insurers before the commencement of such further transit and subject to an additional premium, this insurance reattaches
      5.3.1 in the case of the subject-matter insured having been discharged, as the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is loaded on the on-carrying vessel for the voyage;

If such a berth or place is not available, arrival is deemed to have occurred when the vessel first anchors, moors or otherwise secures either at or off the intended port or place of discharge “oversea vessel” shall be deemed to mean a vessel carrying the subject-matter from one port or place to another where such voyage involves a sea passage by that vessel)

      Change of Voyage

      9.2 Where this insurance is on Increased Value the following clause shall apply:
      The agreed value of the subject-matter insured shall be deemed to be equal to the total amount insured under the primary insurance and all Increased Value insurances covering the loss and effected on the subject-matter insured by the Assured, and liability under this insurance shall be in such proportion as the sum insured under this insurance bears to such total amount insured.

      4.1.4 on the expiry of 30 days after completion of unloading of the subject-matter insured from the aircraft at the final place of discharge, whichever shall first occur.
      4.2  If, after unloading from the aircraft at the final place of discharge, but prior to termination of this
      insurance, the subject-matter insured is to be forwarded to a destination other than that to which it is insured, this insurance, whilst remaining subject to termination as provided in Clauses 4.1.1 to 4.1.4, shall not extend beyond the time the subject-matter insured is first moved for the purpose of the commencement of transit to such other destination.
      4.3  This insurance shall remain in force (subject to termination as provided for in Clauses 4.1.1 to 4.1.4 above and to the provisions of Clause 5 below) during delay beyond the control of the Assured, any deviation, forced discharge, reshipment or transhipment and during any variation of the adventure arising from the exercise of a liberty granted to the air carriers under the contract of carriage.

      Termination of Contract of Carriage
      5. If owing to circumstances beyond the control of the Assured either the contract of carriage is terminated at a place other than the destination named therein or the transit is otherwise terminated before unloading of the subject-matter insured as provided for in Clause 4 above, then this insurance shall also terminate unless prompt notice is given to the Insurers and continuation of cover is requested when this insurance shall remain in force, subject to an additional premium if required by the Insurers, either
      5.1  until the subject-matter insured is sold and delivered at such place, or, unless otherwise specially agreed, until the expiry of 30 days after arrival of the subject-matter insured at such place, whichever shall first occur,
      or
      5.2  if the subject-matter insured is forwarded within the said period of 30 days (or any agreed extension thereof)to the destination named in the contract of insurance or to any other destination, until terminated in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4 above.

      Change of Transit
      6.
      6.1 Where, after attachment of this insurance, the destination is changed by the Assured, this must be notified promptly to Insurers for rates and terms to be agreed. Should a loss occur prior to such agreement being obtained cover may be provided but only if cover would have been available at a reasonable commercial market rate on reasonable market terms.
      6.2 Where the subject-matter insured commences the transit contemplated by this insurance (in accordance with Clause 4.1), but, without the knowledge of the Assured or their employees the aircraft leaves for another destination, this insurance will nevertheless be deemed to have attached at commencement of such transit.

      CLAIMS

      Insurable Interest
      7.
      7.1 In order to recover under this insurance the Assured must have an insurable interest in the subjectmatter insured at the time of the loss.
      7.2 Subject to Clause 7.1 above, the Assured shall be entitled to recover for insured loss occurring during the period covered by this insurance, notwithstanding that the loss occurred before the contract of insurance was concluded, unless the Assured were aware of the loss and the Insurers were not.

      Increased Value

      8.
      8.1 If any Increased Value insurance is effected by the Assured on the subject-matter insured under this insurance the agreed value of the subject-matter insured shall be deemed to be increased to the total amount insured under this insurance and all Increased Value insurances covering the loss, and liability under this insurance shall be in such proportion as the sum insured under this insurance bears to such total amount insured.
      In the event of claim the Assured shall provide the Insurers with evidence of the amounts insured under all other insurances.
      8.2 Where this insurance is on Increased Value the following clause shall apply:
      The agreed value of the subject-matter insured shall be deemed to be equal to the total amount insured under the primary insurance and all Increased Value insurances covering the loss and effected on the subject-matter insured by the Assured, and liability under this insurance shall be in such proportion as the sum insured under this insurance bears to such total amount insured.
      In the event of claim the Assured shall provide the Insurers with evidence of the amounts insured under all other insurances.

      BENEFIT OF INSURANCE

      9. This insurance
      9.1 covers the Assured which includes the person claiming indemnity either as the person by or on whose behalf the contract of insurance was effected or as an assignee,
      9.2 shall not extend to or otherwise benefit the carrier or other bailee.

      MINIMISING LOSSES

      Duty of Assured
      10. It is the duty of the Assured and their employees and agents in respect of loss recoverable hereunder
      10.1  to take such measures as may be reasonable for the purpose of averting or minimising such loss, and
      10.2  to ensure that all rights against carriers, bailees or other third parties are properly preserved and exercised and the Insurers will, in addition to any loss recoverable hereunder, reimburse the Assured for any charges properly and reasonably incurred in pursuance of these duties.

      Waiver
      11. Measures taken by the Assured or the Insurers with the object of saving, protecting or recovering the subjectmatter insured shall not be considered as a waiver or acceptance of abandonment or otherwise prejudice the rights of either party.

      AVOIDANCE OF DELAY

      12. It is a condition of this insurance that the Assured shall act with reasonable despatch in all circumstances within their control.

      LAW AND PRACTICE

      13.This insurance is subject to English law and practice.

      NOTE:- Where a continuation of cover is requested under Clause 5, or a change of destination is notified under Clause 6, there is an obligation to give prompt notice to the Insurers and the right to such cover is dependent upon compliance with this obligation.
