What importers and freight forwarders need to know about the control of terms and conditions of carriage.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A demurrage claim by the shipping company is not valid simply because it is based on the terms and conditions of carriage. These terms and conditions are standard business terms and conditions and, insofar as German law applies, are subject to the review of standard business terms and conditions pursuant to Sections 305 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB). Rogert & Ulbrich examines whether the underlying clause is valid at all \u2013 and enforces your objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basis for the shipping company's demurrage claim<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Demurrage does not arise from law, but from the shipping company's terms and conditions of carriage and tariffs. These conditions are pre-formulated for a multitude of contracts and are therefore standard business terms and conditions within the meaning of Section 305 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The law governing standard business terms and conditions also applies in commercial transactions \u2013 modified by Section 310 Paragraph 1 of the BGB, which makes some clause prohibitions not directly applicable, but leaves the central content control under Section 307 of the BGB unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For importers and freight forwarders, this means: the claim stands or falls with the clause. Those who accept the conditions without review may be paying on a basis that is not legally valid. You can read more about this topic in our guide to demurrage and detention in container transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Received a demurrage charge demand? First, request the exact tariff and clause wording that the shipping company is citing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporation control: Did the terms and conditions actually become part of the contract?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before considering the content of a clause, it must be clarified whether the terms and conditions of carriage were effectively incorporated at all. In commercial transactions, it is generally sufficient that the other party to the contract could reasonably expect the terms and conditions to apply and had the opportunity to become aware of them \u2013 for example, through a reference on the bill of lading or the shipping company's tariff page. If this is lacking, the terms and conditions have not become part of the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Section 305c of the German Civil Code (BGB) applies: Surprising and ambiguous clauses are interpreted against the user. A demurrage clause found in an unexpected location or in an inaccessible form may fail this requirement. In international container transport, the question of the language and version of the terms and conditions is also not a mere formality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsure whether the conditions even apply? Have the inclusion checked before negotiating the amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fee or lump sum for damages \u2013 why the classification determines the control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crucial point often lies in a preliminary question: Is demurrage a fee for the continued use of the container or a lump-sum compensation for the delayed handling? According to Section 307 Paragraph 3 Sentence 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB), purely price-related agreements are exempt from content control. Shipping companies therefore frequently argue that demurrage is a usage fee exempt from review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be argued, however, that demurrage primarily exerts economic pressure for a quick return and is intended to compensate for a standardized type of damage. If the clause is classified as liquidated damages, it is fully subject to review. This classification is controversial and depends on the specific wording of the clause; the relevant case law must be editorially reviewed before publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editorial note: Verify the current state of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) and lower court rulings on the classification of demurrage as remuneration or lump-sum damages before publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Received a high demurrage charge? Whether the clause is legally enforceable determines your chances of success \u2013 have the classification reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content control according to \u00a7 307 BGB \u2013 when the clause is unreasonably disadvantageous<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the clause is subject to review, the decisive factor is whether it constitutes an unreasonable disadvantage under Section 307 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Even though the prohibitions on clauses in Sections 308 and 309 of the BGB do not apply directly in B2B transactions, they have an indicative effect via Section 310 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 of the BGB. Section 309 No. 5 of the BGB, concerning liquidated damages, is particularly relevant. Typical points of contention include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Flat fee above the typical damage: <\/strong>If the daily rates significantly exceed the damage that would normally be expected, this indicates an unreasonable disadvantage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • No counter-evidence is possible: <\/strong>If the clause excludes proof of lesser or no damage, this is a strong indication of its invalidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Non-transparent pricing structure: <\/strong>If the logic of the increasing daily rates is not clearly comprehensible, the clause may fail to meet the transparency requirement of Section 307 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • No connection to the cause: <\/strong>If the clause disregards delays for which the recipient is not responsible, it unilaterally shifts the risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    It is important to note that partial invalidity can affect the entire clause, because standard terms and conditions cannot be reduced to the bare minimum permissible content. An excessive flat fee, therefore, does not automatically fall back to a reasonable level, but may be rendered completely invalid. Do not sign any payment agreement until this point has been clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A demand for demurrage for several weeks? Have the daily rates reviewed to ensure they comply with a content control assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Applicable law and jurisdiction \u2013 the preliminary question that decides everything<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    German general terms and conditions (GTC) review only applies if German law is applicable to the contract. However, many transport terms and conditions contain a choice of law in favor of a foreign legal system as well as a jurisdiction clause. Which law applies depends on the Rome I Regulation and the specific agreement. This preliminary question is therefore often the first and most important step in any defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If foreign law applies, Sections 305 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB) cannot be applied directly \u2013 the examination then shifts to the foreign legal system. At the same time, choice-of-law and jurisdiction clauses must themselves be examined for validity. Through our Dutch Desk, we also cover the interface with Dutch law, which regularly plays a role in transactions via Rotterdam and Antwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do the terms and conditions refer to foreign law? First, clarify which legal system applies before arguing the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to check a demurrage claim for invalidity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A structured approach can often significantly reduce or completely prevent a demurrage charge claim. The following steps outline the review process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Obtain clause and tariff version: <\/strong>Request the exact wording of the terms on which the claim is based.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Check for inclusion: <\/strong>Clarify whether the conditions have actually become an effective part of the contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Make a classification: <\/strong>Assess whether the clause should be classified as a fee that is not subject to control or as a lump-sum damages payment that is subject to control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Clarify applicable law: <\/strong>Check the choice of law and jurisdiction before relying on German general terms and conditions control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Question the extent of the damage: <\/strong>Demand proof of the actual damage and check whether a lesser amount of damage can be demonstrated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Meet deadlines: <\/strong>Raise your objections promptly and with sufficient evidence to avoid the statute of limitations and preclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      In many cases, a significant reduction is achieved out of court because the shipping company cannot fully substantiate its flat fee. If an agreement cannot be reached, legal action will be taken to defend against or enforce the claim. The sooner the strategy is in place, the stronger your position will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The longer the claim remains unchallenged, the more difficult the defense becomes. Have the clause reviewed now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Yes. Even in commercial transactions, terms and conditions of carriage are subject to the law governing standard business terms and conditions. While Section 310 Paragraph 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) exempts some clause prohibitions in Sections 308 and 309 BGB from direct application, it leaves the content control under Section 307 BGB unaffected. However, this is conditional upon German law being applicable to the contract.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      A clause is considered surprising if the other party could not reasonably have expected it under the circumstances. If an unusual demurrage arrangement is hidden away or presented in an inaccessible format, it may be invalid. Ambiguous clauses are interpreted against the shipping company as the drafter. The specific wording and the course of the contract are decisive.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      According to Section 307 Paragraph 3 Sentence 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB), purely price-related main agreements are exempt from content control. If demurrage is classified as a mere usage fee, the clause would therefore be exempt from review. However, if it is understood as liquidated damages, it is fully subject to review. This classification is frequently the decisive point of contention.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      \t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tIs demurrage payment or compensation for damages?<\/span><\/div>

      This is controversial and depends on the specific wording of the clause. Shipping companies often view it as an unchecked fee for continued container use. In contrast, it can be argued that demurrage is primarily intended to exert pressure for the container's return and to compensate for a typical loss. Which classification applies should be examined based on the terms and conditions and current case law.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      \t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tWhen is a flat-rate demurrage too high?<\/span><\/div>

      A lump-sum compensation payment is unfairly disadvantageous if it significantly exceeds the damage that could normally be expected. Section 309 No. 5 of the German Civil Code (BGB) also provides evidence of this in B2B transactions. It is particularly problematic if proof of lesser damages is excluded. Sharply increasing daily rates without any connection to actual damages are a typical warning sign.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      In such cases, German standard terms and conditions control does not automatically apply. The applicable law is determined by the Rome I Regulation and the agreed choice of law. The review then shifts to the chosen legal system. At the same time, the choice of law and jurisdiction clauses must be examined for their validity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      A simple objection does not eliminate the claim, but it protects your position. The crucial question is whether the clause is valid and the amount justified. Until this is clarified, you should not pay hastily, but you should submit a qualified objection within the deadline. Making an unconditional payment can make later objections more difficult.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      \t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tHow can I prove that the actual damage was lower?<\/span><\/div>

      You can counter the shipping company's standardized approach with specific circumstances, such as a genuinely shorter blockage of the storage area or alternative use of the container. If the clause allows for counter-evidence, this avenue is open; if it excludes it, this argues against its validity. Thorough documentation of the process is crucial in this regard.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Claims and objections under transport law are subject to short deadlines, depending on the legal basis. If a deadline is missed, a legitimate objection can become worthless. Therefore, you should not let a claim go unaddressed, but rather react promptly. A legal review of the deadlines will quickly provide clarity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Ideally, you should consult your lawyer as soon as the claim is received \u2013 not just when a payment reminder or legal action is imminent. The sooner the inclusion, classification, and applicable law are examined, the stronger your negotiating position will be. Check whether existing legal expenses insurance covers the costs; in the B2B sector, a company or specialized legal expenses insurance policy often applies.
