Syllabus

A contract that places on a carrier full and sole responsibility for cargo can make the carrier responsible for any loss or damage to the cargo. A contract that places on a carrier an unconditional duty to indemnify for any claim for loss or damage to cargo can include a loss claim voluntarily paid to the owner of the cargo. A contract can permit the offset of a loss claim that a carrier is required to indemnify with amounts owed to the carrier on open invoices.
