Thomas J. Limitation of Liability Hall, JD, is a device that can be found in almost all the commercial suppliers are responsible only for direct damages in an amount not greater than $ X. In no event be liable for indirect suppliers, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages or lost profits. "Although words can cambiarezioLAGnificado as it is the same:
• The seller pays more than $ X;
• For some indications, the seller has no responsibility.
These provisions are a series of questions:
• They are wrong. The Seller's liability is limited, but not the customer. In other words, the suppliers know that their maximum liability under the agreement, the liability of the customer is unlimited.
• The maximum amount of liability - $ X - May insuffisanteiciente. For example, "X" may "not later than the customer paid under the contract" or "nothing more than the customer paid xyz months preceding the event giving rise to the claim for damages." If we assume that the customer pays a 10-month, and "xyz" is 12 months, then the seller's responsibility is limited to $ 120,000. Even if the change purse is not sufficient to cover the damage which could lead to fegatoancier? Remarks possible damage of a seller?
• What is the value of contract?
• What is the excess of the value of all projects?
• The supplier / value?
• The supplier has access to systems and installations?
Many contractors, suppliers to resist the expansion of its potential liability, and they offer a range of topics to be raised. Some of these arguments more weight than others:
• "Facciamonon assume responsibility illimiteeda.
Customers are not asking for an unlimited number of Liabilityà, responsibility. Customer may not be based on a loss due to errors or omissions of suppliers. It is interesting to note that the default language systematically expose customers unlimited liability.
• "Our prices tied to the amount of liability can be accepted." Again, the customer is looking for accountability. Ookeen with a good price unacceptably high risk is not a good negotiator. A customer who is concerned that the prices in May to be convinced by this argument. Customers want the evaluation of the entire project in May concluded that the "price" is not a bargain after all. There is nothing wrong with a vendor to say "No"
• "We have a certain amount, so that we can manage our risks and buy our insurance," The customer has the same concerns, so that they hebbennons another limitation. The package also clETSI is not to oppose a certain amount a customer wants just enough. This is one of the issues that we have begun.
Which is not possible to determine with certainty the extent of protection is sufficient, in this case is much better than too little. A number of instruments to be taken into consideration:
• X times the fees paid and payable under the contract. Three times is uGeen good start. Nosombrero supplier can not object that can notbe quantifiesar risk. But it is sufficient for exposure?
• Supplier will be responsible for direct damage. Seller of objects "direct injury" can not be quantified. But:
- Direct damage "- that the damage is predictable and directly from the breach or action - is the traditional measure of damages under the law of contracts. This is the number of suppliers and customers if the overeenkomst would not set limits of liability ;
- Presumibilmentity, the sale of insurance. (If no, why do not you play?)
- It 's unfair to ask the supplier for the damage caused?
- A warning. As regards the period, the meaning of "direct damage" is open to interpretation and discussion and debate.
• Supplier is responsible for up to $ X. We started with this approach, which is very reasonable, provided that X is suffisammentntemente great. $ 500,000 cap terribilmente inadequate when it comes to $ 2 or $ 3 million. In additde ions, and a cap, the seller may claim to be unknown and potentially unlimited exposure, and the seller in the month of May in order to obtain the necessary guarantees easy.
• Supplier is responsible for the limits of their insurance. This approach is the subject of ions that the risk can be quantified and can not be controerzekerd against. MA:
- The limits of insurance should be sufficient for the potential risk - The customer must call the insurance certificates indicating the existence of insurance (ninth to remember that insurance companies should be considered competent to do business in your state) - The customer must verify supplier performance.
In general, the attention of insurance companies opgrenzen production. Overcoming objections comuniil more vendor and ensure that sufficient resources are availableibili like things. Without insurance, may not be enough money to cover the damage. A decision against a supplier, if it is of little value can not be executed. A word about the nature of the cost of damage. Contract law protects against direct losses predictable, are not so distant that one can reasonably expect. The expectation among lation raisonnable damage 'is perhaps misleading. If the provider knows that the ball falling customer base to stop theand businesses, suppliers should reasonably expect the client to suffer loss of profits.
But what they have delivered the benefits promised to sell? Customers who have won millions of people who have or error by the customer or market developments, have less income? Best exclude special, punitive exemplaireset - are granted by rechter (or jury), and have little direct connection with the contract value or the damage caused and to limit the damages - damages, however described or characterized. Too little protection costs norteción or suppliers. Much can be inexpensive for the customer.
