6.1 General Provisions. Co-Broker will be liable to Shipper for loss or damage to cargo occurring while it is in its, or it's carrier's possession, including rail intermodal, except to the extent such loss or damage is caused by an Event of Force Majeure (as defined herein). Co-Broker's possession of cargo under this Agreement shall begin when carrier has executed the Shipment Documents for such cargo and shall terminate upon the lading being tendered for delivery as set forth in such Shipment Documents, The value of loss or damage to shipments will be based upon the Shipper's replacement cost of the goods lost or damaged, as supported by Shipper's invoice documentation. All product loss or damage claims shall be filed in writing by Shipper or Broker within nine (9) months after the date of delivery of the subject shipment. Claims shall be in writing, and shall indicate the specific amount of compensation requested, and accompanied by signed bills of lading, paid invoices, itemization, description, dollar amount requested, and other relevant supporting documentation.
