Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Un­con­di­tion­al ac­cept­ance of the goods and pay­ment of the freight charge ex­tin­guish all claims against the car­ri­er, ex­cept in cases of de­lib­er­ate de­ceit or gross neg­li­gence.

² Fur­ther­more, the car­ri­er re­mains li­able for dam­age that is not ex­tern­ally ap­par­ent where such dam­age is dis­covered with­in the time in which, in the cir­cum­stances, the con­sign­ee was able or might reas­on­ably be ex­pec­ted to in­spect the goods, provided he no­ti­fies the car­ri­er im­me­di­ately on dis­cov­er­ing such dam­age.

³ However, such no­ti­fic­a­tion must be giv­en no later than eight days after de­liv­ery.
