No suit or action for the recovery of any claim under this Insurance shall be sustainable in any court of law or equity unless commenced within twelve (12) months after you discover the occurrence which gives rise to the claim, provided, however, that if by the laws of the State within which the Master Policy is issued, such limitation is invalid, then any such claim shall be void unless such action or suit commences within the shortest limit of time permitted by the laws of that State.
Changes to the Master Policy can only be effected by endorsements signed by you, PIP, and the Insurer.
This Insurance treats banded boxes and pallets of boxes as one single package.
If a part of a pair or set is lost or damaged, this Insurance will only pay you a reasonable and fair portion of the total value of the pair or set and NOT the total value.

Whenever coverage provided by the Master Policy would be in violation of any U.S. economic or trade sanctions, such coverage is null and void,
CLAIM PROCEDURE
