Liability Insurance
The co-operation with your carrier is regulated by ALLGEMEINEN ÖSTERREICHISCHEN SPEDITEURBEDINGUNGEN, abbreviated AÖSP.
According to AÖSP the insurance coverage is regulated by SVS (Speditionsversicherungshchein-Forwarder) / RVS (Rollfuhrversicherungschein -Trucking) or LVS (Lagerversicherungsschein-Warehousing).
There is, of course, an option to refuse this insurance programme and use the identification as VERBOTSKUNDE. In such a case the liability of the carrier is limited to 1.09 EUR per kg with a maximum limit of 1,090 EUR per consignment.
Damage to property and events indisputably caused by your carrier may be regulated only by SVS - SPEDITIONSVERSICHERUNGSCHEIN.
SVS/RVS/LVS.
SVS - SPEDITIONSVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN covers damage to goods occurred while in care of the carrier and only by the carrier’s demonstrable error.
RVS - ROLLFUHRVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN covers damage occurred during delivery or pick up of the consignment by the carrier’s vehicle within 80 km from the carrier’s terminal. The damage must be caused by the carrier’s demonstrable error.
LVS - LAGERVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN covers damage occurred during warehousing in the carrier’s warehouse and resulted from its demonstrable error.
The exceptions to coverage concern damage caused by natural disasters – fire, flood, burglary. Based on the flexible insurance programme we can find an adequate solution to the insurance coverage for every customer.
The SVS/RVS/LVS coverage is automatically arranged upon ordering the transport of goods. The insurance is specified in the invoice for transport and automatically announced to the insurance company to arrange the coverage.
If the VERBOTSKUNDE declaration applies, we need to get a written declaration with a request for changing the carrier’s liability.
