本案檢視保險單據常見的印就條款與「附件一般/特別條款」引用語,是否會因內容龐雜、包含承保前提或除外責任,而被銀行認定與信用證要求矛盾。另探討保單載明船舶ISM、船級、P&I資格與船齡限制等條件,但其他提示單據未呈現相同資訊時,是否會造成不符。結論強調:銀行僅審單據表面,重點在「是否矛盾」,而非逐一核對一般條款或承保前提是否被其他單據證明。
信用證適用UCP600第14條a款、第28條h款與i款。保單出現以下條款與問題:
條款一(簽名區域印就):
“This insurance does not cover any loss or damage to the property which at the time of happening of such loss or damage is insured by or would, but for the existence of this Policy,be insured by any fire or other insurance policy or policies,except in respect of any excess beyond the amount which would have been payable under the fire or other insurance policy or policies had this insurance not been effected.,,”
問題:該條款是否造成不符?
條款二(保單印就):
“This policy is prepared according to the material facts disclosed by the proposer as is shown in the proposal form and is subject to the general and special conditions and clauses enclosed or attached herewith and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Assured,against payment o£ the premium due,in case of a marine peril as described above."
問題:如何理解“enclosed general and special conditions and clauses enclosed or attached herewith”?是否必須審查保單附件的一般/特別條款?
條款三(保單文本):
“The cover will be valid, if and only if, the transporting vessel (s) have a valid ISM Certificate and Classification Certificate (according to Institute Classification Clause 01.01.2001) during the transport."
問題:其他要求單據未呈現滿足條件之資訊,是否導致不符?
條款四(保單文本):
“CAUTION: This policy is subject to the following mentioned conditions and warranties: l.The vessel should be fully classed and class maintained with class society member of IACS(including Turk Lloyd) as per Institute Classification Clause 01.01.2001 as per attached wording. Therefore, the vessel being nominated should be complied with the stipulation stated thereof. 2. Vessel should also be a member of a respected P & 1(Protection & Indemnity) club member of International Group. 3. Vessel should also be complied with the ISM requirements. 4. A vessel which does not have above mentioned qualifications and are aged over 35 and tankers aged over 15 will not be covered.”
問題:其他要求單據未呈現滿足條件之資訊,是否導致不符?
一、條款一:屬於常見「重複保險/其他保險優先」的除外或限責語。若信用證未要求提交另一張同類保單作為對照,銀行無從、亦無需因該印就語而拒絕;且UCP600允許保險單據包含除外責任條款。
二、條款二:關鍵在於“enclosed”與“attached herewith”的語意。就審單角度,只要保單表面陳述已足以顯示承保範圍符合信用證要求,銀行通常不需延伸去逐一審查未隨單呈示的「一般/特別條款」內容。
三、條款三與四:這些是承保條件/保證事項。只要保單文本本身未與其他提示單據產生「矛盾資訊」,僅因其他單據未另行證明船舶具備ISM、船級或P&I資格,通常不構成UCP下的不符;銀行審查仍以表面一致性為核心。
