Contracts and agreements
The principle of freedom of contract is quite limited in legal relationships between carriers and between carriers and consignors to which the CMR and/or the AVC apply.
Of course, this does not mean that it is quite possible to lay down additional agreements on other substantive issues that relate to a contract of carriage or to a contract of forwarding. These additional agreements can be contractually defined in a separate contract of carriage or in a framework agreement.
In practice, for instance, it often happens that no clear arrangements are made for waiting time. As a carrier, you can therefore very well make binding agreements on this with your client. The same goes for making agreements on the fee demurrage (demurrage) and detention, which costs the shipping companies charge the carrier.
